"Oh, let me go! This black-faced guy does have some knack for talking!"
Listening to Li Shimin address Wei Zheng from "you" to "Qing" and finally to "Love Qing"!
The two brothers Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao were so shocked that they could almost fill their mouths with two goose eggs.
The two of them were just thinking about whether it would be better for this dear friend to go to Lingnan or Yazhou later.
Now it seems that there is no need to think about it. With these righteous flattery words, promotion is now the best possibility.
Not only these two people think so, but other ministers also think so!
Everyone here can flatter you, but being able to flatter them in such a fresh and refined way, and so in line with the leader's wishes, is not something ordinary people can do! This black-faced guy named Wei Zheng is really good at talking!
Facing everyone's looks of surprise or jealousy, Wei Zheng remained calm.
Having experienced three changes of ownership, he has already grasped this opportunity to express himself perfectly!
But don’t think that the people in history who look after Wei Zheng are just those who dare to speak out, are upright and selfless!
If he didn't know how to adapt, he would have died countless times in this complicated and troubled world!
Similarly, if he was too upright, he would not have advised Li Jian and directly killed Xiao Lizi secretly, so that everything would be over.
Therefore, a Wei Zheng who has an upright heart but knows how to change with the situation is the real Wei Zheng!
Wei Zheng's change this time was a good bet!
Next, Li Shimin opened his mouth and took him directly to the secretary's prison.
Although the official position has not changed, the nature of the work has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The secretary, to put it bluntly, is a human-shaped record pen. It can only record, but cannot speak!
But the Secretary Supervisor was a figure in the emperor's think tank! It can be said that it was only from this moment that he truly stepped onto the stage of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, let's not talk about these people anymore. Please tell us your opinions!" After Wei Zheng was arranged, Li Shimin's anger finally dissipated a lot. He leaned back on the chair and slowly glanced at the people below.
The minister asked.
"Our opinion?"
However, when the ministers below heard Li Shimin's question, they all smiled bitterly in their hearts: You came up and even yelled and frightened us, how dare we have any opinions? If you really don't have long-sightedness, you will jump out and say that you can't fight the Turks.
, why don’t you eat us alive first?
Therefore, in this situation, even if someone does not want to start a war, they can only bury it deeply in their hearts. Not only do they not dare to show it at all, but they also want to be more active than anyone else.
"beat!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Hit him!"
In an instant, all the ministers were excited and petitioned one after another!
Cheng Yaojin, Chai Shao and other generals were so excited that they rolled up their sleeves and wished they could fly to the grassland to fight with Jie Li.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin, who was sitting in the chair, finally showed a smile on his gloomy face.
He is an emperor who has his own opinion and sticks to his opinion!
His purpose for this meeting was also very clear. He did not need to consult the ministers for their opinions, but simply wanted their support!
Because as long as we have the support of these Datang senior officials, no matter what the outside world is like, it will not have any impact on today's Datang!
"Okay! Since we have decided to fight, we must win and win!"
Seeing that the time was right, Li Shimin finally slammed the table and said to Li Jing below: "Li Jing! How many troops do you think should be sent to the Turks this time to win?"
As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing has always been an extremely calm general.
After guessing Li Shimin's intentions at the beginning, he did not rush to express his determination to attack the Turks like Cheng Yaojin and others, but silently began to make plans in his mind to send troops.
Therefore, when he heard Li Shimin ask about it, he stood up without thinking and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, I believe that an army of 300,000 people should ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
One sentence! Li Jing only said one sentence!
The entire hall fell silent instantly, even quieter than at the beginning!
No matter what everyone here was doing before, all their movements stopped at this moment! It was as if time was frozen at this moment, with only one pair of eyes remaining, staring closely at Li Jing.
Li Shimin's face was a little pale, and his body shook involuntarily a few times.
Your own family knows your own affairs! How many soldiers there are in the Tang Dynasty now, no one knows better than him, the emperor!
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the military forces in the world were divided into the inner palace and the outer palace, and the number of soldiers and generals in each was fixed!
If you don’t count those who concealed reports, lied about reports, and were paid on the fly, there should be 40,000 people in the five palaces and three guards in the inner palace.
The outer mansion is composed of hundreds of Zhechong mansions, including 1,200 people in the upper-class Zhechong mansion, 1,000 people in the middle-class and 800 people in the lower-class!
Excluding some places that are dissatisfied with the establishment, the total strength of the two items is about 260,000. Plus the Xuanjia Army, Yulin on the left and Longwei on the left.
The total military strength of the Tang Dynasty is now only 300,000!
As soon as Li Jing opened his mouth, it was three hundred thousand!
This is to draw all the soldiers from across the country to fight, and we don’t even plan to keep a janitor at home!
"Li Jing! Do you know what 300,000 people represent?" He gritted his teeth and said this. While Li Shimin was angry, he also felt a little desolate in his heart.
In the pre-Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang could easily deploy millions of troops to conquer Goguryeo!
But when he comes here, even with all the efforts of the whole country, he can't bring out 300,000 people. Isn't this a tragedy?
"Wei Chen knows!"
Facing the resentful Li Shimin, Li Jing standing in the palace still looked like a stone in a latrine.
It has to be said that this great military god is an astonishing figure in the past and the present, but in terms of politics and relationships, he is an out-and-out layman.
Everyone here knows that Li Shimin will not and cannot give 300,000 people, but he insists on raising it!
Such a request would not only have no effect at all, but would also leave a big knot in the emperor's heart!
Even if we win this battle in the future, this knot will not be resolved!
Looking at Li Jing who was standing there quietly, Li Shimin took a long breath, then slowly shook his head and said: "Now that you know, you should understand that 300,000 people is absolutely impossible! I can't afford that many troops.
horse."
Li Jing's eyelids drooped, as if he was deep in thought for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "Then two hundred thousand! I am 70% sure that I can capture the enemy."
"No!" Li Shimin didn't bother to get angry this time, and just said two words coldly!
Today, the Tang Dynasty is not peaceful. The borders must be defended and civil unrest must be suppressed. How could he agree to use two-thirds of the country's troops at one time?
Li Jing's expression changed again: "One hundred and fifty thousand! I'm 50% sure that I will march into the grassland and drive out Jieli!"
