Chapter 411 Li Shimin’s helplessness (updated today)
Li Shimin came out of Zhang Xuansu's room and immediately found Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple.
Sun Fujia had already written the memorial. As soon as Li Shimin asked, Sun Fujia handed over the memorial in his hand.
After seeing it, Li Shimin couldn't help but remain silent for a while and said, "You mean, the prince has blocked your case!"
"I don't dare, but I found out that the murderer was indeed a Turkic man who was taken in Chang'an by the crown prince Renxin!" Sun Fujia said in a deep voice.
"But when I led the yamen runners to capture them, I was blocked by Hegan Chengji, a guardian of the Eastern Palace. When I continued to take people to capture them, the assassin had already escaped."
"Hegan Chengji..." Li Shimin couldn't help but feel silent when he heard Sun Fujia's words.
Because Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, Li Chengqian was able to do this, so what did he do?
Zhang Xuansu is the most upright person in the East Palace, and he is even a guy who is incompatible with Qingque under pressure every year.
Especially as the King of Wei gradually grew up over the years, if there is a stone in the memorial to be submitted by Qingque, there are probably eight dou of them written by Zhang Xuansu.
Sun Fujia looked a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth when he looked at Li Shimin.
"I beg you to combine the assassination of King Wei's King and the assassination of the Zuo Shuzi's son."
"What do you mean!" Li Shimin listened to Sun Fujia's words, but his voice was hidden, with indescribable anger.
"I know that the dead man who assassinated the King of Wei could no longer bear the torture and died, but I just want to confirm whether the assassin who assassinated the King of Wei belonged to the Turks, and they and the Turkic assassin who assassinated the Zuo Shuzi now assassinated the son of Zuo Shuzi.
Is it related to it?"
Sun Fujia was not afraid of Li Shimin, because it was not the first time that the court officials in Zhenguan dared to contradict Li Shimin.
"If you investigate Zhang Xuansu's case, you will investigate Zhang Xuansu's case. What should you do if you pull Qingque in? Don't mention this matter if there is no direct evidence!"
At this moment, Li Shimin was stern and stern at Sun Fujia.
"I obey the order!" Sun Fujia looked at the attitude Li Shimin showed at this moment, knowing that this matter could not be persisted any longer.
After all, not everyone is called Wei Zheng, and not everyone is called Zhang Xuansu.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, "Can you say that Qingque's guess was right at the beginning? Chengqian had lost all his conscience to this point."
But no matter what, this matter is related to Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin dared not use Sun Fujia's to investigate.
When Li Tai killed the assassin and chose to cover up this matter, Li Shimin had no idea how to start even though he wanted to investigate.
But now it’s different. Since the other party has taken action again, this time, the honest Qingque has not been to cover up the matter.
In front of the state machine, this assassin really wants to see people alive, die, and even the people behind him silence him, he will eventually leave traces. Now it only takes time and patience.
Li Shimin took this matter in his heart, but as an emperor, he had to deal with national affairs more than this matter.
Soon Li Shimin went to recruit Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Li Shiji to the palace.
Because Hou Junji is now consciously polishing the court, the vacant Minister of War allowed Li Shiji, who had been stationed in Bingzhou, to take over as the position of Minister of War.
Now that we have discussed using Li Tai's plan to plan Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo, it is necessary to discuss and discuss with the court ministers.
When all the ministers arrived, Li Shimin told everyone about Li Tai's plans and said:
"You all think that Qingque's plan is enforceable or needs supplementation!"
"The King of Wei is calm and steady in planning the country and taking every step forward, which is a blessing for my Tang Dynasty!" Du Ruhui nodded and said, "I have no supplements."
To be honest, Wei Zheng wanted to advise Li Shimin not to attack Goguryeo, but Li Tai's plan, as long as the court did not mean to attack Goguryeo, he could live in harmony with Goguryeo.
In this regard, Wei Zheng could still accept it.
At this time, Li Jing lowered his head calmly and said nothing.
Li Jing has always felt that King Wei can actually fight, but King Wei's war is a bit different from normal generals' wars. Isn't this proven his own words?
But what Li Jing didn't expect was that King Wei's plan to Goguryeo really forced Goguryeo to death!
In contrast, Li Shiji was the first time he participated in a meeting of this level and was a little restrained for a while.
He really didn't expect that King Wei had such a deep mind. At least in his own opinion, if he really followed the King of Wei's plan, then when the Tang Dynasty found an opportunity, Goguryeo would at least be in the eyes of his generals.
That is bound to die.
Is this the court of the Tang Dynasty? Is even the 20-year-old King of Wei so deeply scheming? It’s better to be cautious!
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Jing and Li Shiji.
I have to say that as Hou Junji was thrown to his house for polishing, Li Shimin really didn't expect that Li Shiji, like Li Jing, would be a dull man.
"Maogong, tell me!" Li Shimin looked at Li Shiji and said calmly.
"Report to the saint!" Li Shiji took a deep breath and said, "I have been in Bingzhou for a long time and are not familiar with Goguryeo.
However, I can talk about Xue Yantuo. Since the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Duke of Wei, Xue Yantuo has been absorbing the remaining power of the Turks on the grasslands, and the speed of rising is somewhat unexpected.
In my opinion, Xue Yantuo only needs fifteen years to restore the troops of the Eastern Turks. In recent years, the Eastern Turks may find the right opportunity to take the initiative to fight with our Tang Dynasty to restore the spirit of the grassland nation.
Therefore, looking back at the King of Wei’s grass seed plan, I believe that this is a plan that can fundamentally solve the Xueyantuo problem.
But far water cannot quench near thirst. At least when talents from Lingzhou, Fengzhou, Shengzhou and several states are cultivated, and then head north of Yinshan, I feel that Xue Yantuo cannot wait!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but squint slightly. Li Shimin said that he attached great importance to Li Shiji, who is on the front line.
"If so, then we need to hit Xue Yantuo well in the next few years so that we can free up our hands to deal with Goguryeo!
In this way, it also adds time to the grass planting plan of Green Bird.”
"It's better to make a sound of the saints going east. If Xue Yantuo really takes the opportunity to take action, then we will defend and fight back, and the division is famous.
If Xue Yantuo did not take action, I would feel that the King of Wei could be implemented north of Yinshan!" Fang Xuanling said.
"Qingque once said that he was so afraid that it would improve Xue Yantuo's national strength and would even damage the students of the Agricultural University." Li Shimin said.
Du Ruhui said: "But Xue Yantuo's national strength has been improved again. Can it be higher than the Eastern Turks in a short period of time?
Not to mention that the set of King Wei looks simple, but let the Xueyantuo people give it a try!
Not to mention Xue Yantuo wants to learn, even if our court wants to learn it, it will take a lot of effort!”
When Li Shimin heard Du Ruhui's words, he had to admit it.
Although Li Tai made something, although Li Tai said that it would reduce the learning cost as much as possible, let’s see if those people have not experienced training from agricultural institutions.
The simplest thing is a mathematical thinking and the strict requirements for the unity of weights and measures.
These are not easily mastered by grassland people, let alone further subdivision of each plant and animal.
To be honest, if Xue Yantuo really captures students from the agricultural university and even takes the initiative to learn these skills, he is afraid that he will inevitably learn Chinese and know the Chinese etiquette. At that time, they may be from Xue Yantuo or from Tang people themselves.
Wei Zheng also said seriously: "Although I do not agree with starting a war lightly, if I really want to hit Xue Yantuo, it is best to be famous, so that I can teach Xue Yantuo a profound lesson!"
"If this is the case, the students that Qingque finally trained are lost in the club!"
When Li Shimin heard everyone's words, he felt a little sad.
"Let's release the rumors that I'm on tour. If Xue Yantuo is not caught, then we will take the next step."
To be honest, for Li Shimin, he knew that doing so might damage the students trained by the Agricultural University.
But at the national level, such sacrifices are insignificant and do not even have the value of writing in history books.
A grain of sand from the times falls on an individual, and at least it also brings a brick to the head. Whether or not it is purely a destiny.
"Pharmacist, what about you, you should have some understanding of Goguryeo's plan!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said slowly, "The original fishing boat plan was arranged by you!"
When Li Jing heard Li Shimin's words, he respected Li Shimin.
"I believe that Dejian has worked hard on the navy over the years, but I think that if water and land advance together, it will require an army that lands and lands.
Dejian stayed in the navy for too long, and his own abilities were not enough to command the army.
If you land in a rash way, you will be taken advantage of by Goguryeo!”
"Since you have proposed it, someone can recommend it. How about Zhang Liang?" Li Shimin couldn't help asking when he heard Li Jing's words.
"Although the Minister of Works knows how to control ships, he is not proficient in land battles and is not familiar with the northern environment!" Li Jing replied to Li Shimin.
"It seems that someone has chosen you!" Li Shimin smiled when he heard Li Jing's words.
"Sima Su Dingfang of Youzhou!" Li Jing decisively recommended his former subordinates at this time.
"Su Dingfang!" Li Shimin heard Li Jing's words and pointed at Li Jing and smiled, "Pharmacist, you can also care about your own personalities!"
"As parents, they will eventually make plans for their children!" Li Jing said calmly when facing Li Shimin.
"But I will never forget my own affairs. Su Dingfang was a good player in capturing Jie Li Khan from the Eastern Turks. He was a good player in the surprise attack and was just right for the navy."
To be honest, Li Jing knew very well that although he could shock people who were promoted purely from Li Shimin's Qin Palace, as the commander, it would be better to use his former subordinates as his son Li Dejian.
If the Minister of Works like Zhang Liang is stuffed in, then I will listen to Li Dejian or the boss Zhang Liang.
After all, Li Dejian has only fought pirates over the years, and his prestige in the army is really not high.
His requirements are not high, just hope that Li Dejian will retire after fighting Goguryeo and then guard his Duke of Wei with peace of mind.
Under such circumstances, it would be no exaggeration to subdue some of his former subordinates to assist Li Dejian in the war!
Li Shimin more or less understood Li Jing’s thoughts, and Li Shimin must have his own considerations.
Don’t say it, the current No. 1 general of the Tang Dynasty, without considering Li Jing, is really Li Dejian.
After all, others don’t understand the sea at all. Although Li Dejian did not participate in any major war, he has gone to Youzhou to fight pirates for ten years, and his soldiers are also rotated all year round. He chooses his elites and takes away his old and weak, and is considered an elite water master.
.
Moreover, the place in Youzhou is across the sea from Goguryeo, and you can meet the navy that Goguryeo has pieced together on almost every patrol.
Under such circumstances, the Youzhou Navy did not dare to slackew. Do you really think that there was no friction between the two sides?
But it’s more of a confrontation between sentries, and it’s common to die dozens of people every year.
Therefore, when you really attack Goguryeo, you must use Li Dejian as the commander of the navy and go straight to Goguryeo's hinterland.
"Let Su Dingfang train his soldiers!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "but it is not decided when to attack Goguryeo."
"I understand!" Li Jing said gratefully to Li Shimin.
"When talking about Goguryeo, I feel that it needs some supplements!" Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice at this time.
"Please say Xuanling!" Li Shimin was a little solemn when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.
"We need to send an envoy to Goguryeo first. One is to observe the situation in Goguryeo, and the other is to reach an agreement to acquire specialties with Goguryeo officials!" Fang Xuanling said,
"I believe that it is difficult to calculate the direct compensation for the King of Wei, so it is better to reach a cooperation with the official Goguryeo.
It is better to grant such industries exclusively to the King of Wei, and then let the King of Wei share the proceeds for sale among the court and the inner court.
Of course, the King of Wei himself also kept three copies. If the King of Wei doesn’t want to do it, I think there will be someone else who is willing to do it.”
"It's hard for you to come up with this method!" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and knew that Fang Xuanling didn't want to pay.
When Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words, he only looked at Li Shimin calmly and did not directly refute.
To be honest, Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin look at affairs differently. To be more precise, since Li Tai performed the first-hand money printing operation in front of Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling carefully observed Li Tai's operating model.
.
Although Fang Xuanling still doesn't understand many things so far, Fang Xuanling knows that currency is meaningless to Li Tai.
Relatively speaking, there are many physical supplies, and Li Tai built quite a lot of reserves in Luoyang.
So in Fang Xuanling's view, this so-called subsidy is just a joke to Li Tai, and King Wei's real purpose is not this.
In contrast, the arbitrary power is what the King of Wei really hopes for.
In Li Shimin's view, this matter was Fang Xuanling, the iron rooster. This was really a waste of money. In order not to pay the so-called subsidy, he took out the so-called franchise to fool the King of Wei.
The court is not unfamiliar with the model of franchise. How did the salt and iron franchise come about? Is the court still not aware of it?
But compared with things like salt and iron, it is necessary, and ginseng, deer antler and other special needs.
"No!" Li Shimin came to his senses and looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "This is the money Qingque has filial to me, why should you collect it!"
"Sage, this is taxation! The rest is what you share with the King of Wei!" Fang Xuanling was very serious and refused to give in.
Anyway, Fang Xuanling said that the court must take a bite of this money, and it will never be fully invested in your treasury.
I went to Tivat today to save the world...I believe everyone can understand.
