Xu Jingzong took this scene seriously, and his acting skills naturally returned to his original nature.
In the end, Xu Jingzong was almost convinced by himself.
That's right, it's the last time to tremble anyway, why not just play it real and bite the bullet and destroy Tubo. As the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is also a court hawk who advocates the attack of Tubo. In the future, Xu Jingzong may be able to leave his name in the history books.
The reputation of a wise man through the ages.
Difficulties can be overcome, and he is not required to go to the battlefield anyway, but the opportunity to leave a name for the ages is rare, so it is better to risk it once.
So the more Xu Jingzong spoke, the more impassioned he became. In the end, it turned into his own inflammatory speech in the Golden Palace, which was very confusing.
What is strange is that the opposition attitude of the courtiers gradually became less fierce, and many of them even fell into deep thought, obviously seriously considering the pros and cons of starting a war with Tibet at this time.
The temptation to leave a name in history is too great. In this era of great success and great success, both monarchs and ministers want to leave a lasting mark on their names.
Seeing Xu Jingzong becoming more and more excited as he talked, Li Zhi, who was sitting in the hall, also fell into deep thought.
This guy can't be serious, right? It doesn't look like he's acting.
I just want you to help beat the drum and build momentum to make the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Tibet appear more realistic and create a strong environment for the subsequent negotiations.
Are you such a drama queen? Why are you taking it seriously?
As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, I wonder what the situation is like in the Tang Dynasty today?
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was getting carried away as he talked, Li Zhi coughed twice and then glared at Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong was shocked when he received Li Zhi's look.
No, I've done it.
So Xu Jingzong decisively summarized his speech. In a word, the Tang Dynasty must conquer Tubo.
After finishing his work, Xu Jingzong obediently returned to his class.
There was a murmur of discussion in the palace, and the courtiers began to discuss among themselves the feasibility of conquering Tibet.
Li Zhi is very satisfied with the current atmosphere and this is what he wants.
Only when the atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty Hall is in place can the next drama continue.
So Li Zhi coughed, looked around the ministers with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Servant Liu Rengui has verified that the assassination of the Liaodong County Duke was done by the Tubo people."
"Dare to assassinate our heroes of the Tang Dynasty in our capital. If this can be forgiven, how can our country's prestige remain! I dare not compare to the late Emperor Taizong in conquering the world, but I am not a weak king who can be bullied. Today I take a step back, and tomorrow I will Tubo
The sword will be pointed at my nose!"
As he spoke, Li Zhi suddenly slapped the case angrily and roared angrily: "In the ninth year of Wude, the Turks marched straight into Chang'an, forcing the Tang Dynasty to sign the Weishui River Alliance. It is a shame for the Tang Dynasty."
"I don't want to repeat the humiliation of the past. Now that our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the king's army is invincible in the world, how can I suffer this humiliation again?"
"The capital of the Tang Dynasty openly assassinated the heroes of our country, and the thieves were so rampant. If I compromise, how should the emperor of the world evaluate me as an emperor?"
"I have decided to avenge this, with one word, fight!"
"Su Dingfang!"
Su Dingfang walked out of class in two steps: "I'm here."
"I appoint you as the general manager of the march in Jiannan Road, and recruit 30,000 left and right guards and horses, as well as garrisons in Yaozhou, Huichuan, Kunzhou and other places, totaling 50,000 soldiers and horses. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate grain and grass, and the Ministry of War will allocate firearms and weapons and horses.
In the fifth day, we will rectify the guards and horses on the left and right sides of Chang'an and prepare to go to Tibet!"
"I accept the decree!"
The ministers looked at Li Zhi in shock.
Are you serious?
Li Zhi looked at the ministers with firm eyes.
That's right, I'm serious about it.
"Your Majesty, think twice!" A court official stood up and objected.
Li Zhi stood up and shook his sleeves fiercely, saying: "I have thought twice and dismissed the court!"
…………
British government.
Butler Wu trotted all the way to the archway in the backyard and invited Li Qinzai out.
"Fifth Young Master, there is news from the palace that the emperor has issued an order to appoint Su Dingfang as the general manager of the Jiannan Road March and mobilize 50,000 troops to conquer Tubo."
Li Qinzai's eyes widened in surprise.
There seemed to be something wrong with the script. When he and Li Zhi discussed it privately, they only said that they would create momentum for the matter and make a decisive move to send troops to destroy Tubo.
The momentum is the momentum, but it is not said that Su Dingfang is really going to be appointed as the general manager of the march. If the mobilization of 50,000 troops and horses is really carried out, even if it is withdrawn later, how much food, grass and money will be spent just to mobilize the troops and horses.
What on earth is Li Zhi doing? Is it possible that he is planning to fake it for real?
"Prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace!" Li Qinzai ordered immediately.
Just as Butler Wu turned around, Li Qinzai stopped him again: "Forget it."
Sighing bitterly, Li Qinzai said: "I am in a dying state now. If I jump into the palace alive and well when I am dying, I am afraid that the news will leak out and the whole thing will be ruined."
Observing again and thinking about it carefully, Li Zhi is probably still acting, but in a more realistic way. In recent years, this guy has become more and more like an actor.
When a middle-aged man shifts his interests away from women and focuses on fishing, donkey hoof trimming, and Oldman giving bananas, it most likely means that this man should take Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
Li Zhi was probably the same way. He became very interested in participating in this play, so he not only added lines for himself without permission, but also added scenes.
Li Qinzai is the director, but Li Zhi is the emperor. If the emperor adds drama to himself, what can the director do?
Butler Wu didn't understand state affairs, so he only followed orders. When Li Qinzai gave up entering the palace, of course he wouldn't say anything.
Immediately, Butler Wu remembered another thing and reported in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, the news about your assassination the day before yesterday made a big fuss. The news in Chang'an City was full of uproar. After hearing about it, several of your disciples gathered here just now.
Outside the house, he said he wanted to visit you."
"You said that you have closed the door recently and haven't seen anyone, so I persuaded them to go back... But the two princes and princesses were very angry and threatened to avenge the master outside the palace. They just went back, fearing that they would be summoned
The personal guards in their respective mansions are planning to cause trouble for Zan Xiruo..."
Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped, these guys could really do this.
These little bastards had a lot of fun in the last operation against the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. This time Li Qinzai was assassinated. Only Li Zhi and a few others knew the truth. The little bastards did not know and would definitely avenge themselves.
If they do something irreparable, they will definitely destroy Li Qinzai's plan.
If this scene is not heated enough or is heated too much, it will affect the final result. Li Qinzai must nip the variables in the cradle in advance.
"Hurry up and send someone to chase those little bastards back. Just say that I still have one breath left and want to see my disciples before I die. Go quickly." Li Qinzai immediately ordered.
Butler Wu hesitated and wanted to persuade the Fifth Young Master not to curse him like this. However, considering that the Fifth Young Master was always willing to curse him with the worst malice, it was impossible to persuade him, so Butler Wu had no choice but to sigh and turned around.
