Seeing that the two parties were about to fight again, Li Shimin slapped the case and shouted angrily, "That's enough!"
Only then did Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin cease their activities.
The generals and civil servants each took sides.
Li Shimin started over and said, "Tell me, you are all a lot older and you are still acting like this! You don't want your old face, I still want it!"
All the civil and military ministers lowered their heads.
Everyone speaks the Dharma without blaming everyone.
This group of ministers gave Li Shimin a headache.
"All fines will be three months' salary!"
Li Shimin finished his words.
All the ministers bowed and said: "I will accept my punishment."
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Cheng Yaojin will be fined for an additional year!"
Cheng Yaojin slowly raised his head with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Wei Zheng..."
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted loudly, even the tea bowl on the table jumped up.
Cheng Yaojin lowered his head and saluted again.
The little eunuch on the side poured some boiled water for Li Shimin sensibly. Since he stopped drinking tea, he only had boiled water for comfort.
After drinking a sip of boiled water, Li Shimin's anger calmed down a bit.
The guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhaolin, the supervisor of the Imperial Medical Office, and everyone in the Imperial Medical Office are already outside the palace."
Li Shimin drank another mouthful of boiled water and said in a deep voice: "If you are injured, go to the Imperial Medical Office and get treatment! Those who are seriously injured will go home to recuperate, and those who are lightly injured will come back to discuss the matter of Tuyuhun. I am still pointing fingers at you guys."
Where is the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs!"
Changsun Wuji covered his injured nose and said, "Here."
Everyone walked out of the Manna Hall.
Knowing that both Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng despised each other, Yu Chigong asked the doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to apply medicine to the wound, "You said if you don't feel relieved, go back and give old Wei Zheng a sap in Chang'an City..."
The words were not loud, and Wei Zheng heard them just in time.
Wei Zheng stared angrily.
Both sides were angry. Lu Zhaolin said to Wei Zheng: "Mr. Wei Zheng, you are not in good health on weekdays. If one day you are so angry that you will be happy for someone else."
Asking Lu Zhaolin to bandage his wound, Wei Zheng turned his head away from Cheng Yaojin.
After bandaging Wei Zheng's wound, Lu Zhaolin said to Cheng Yaojin: "General Cheng, we all know that you are brave and good at fighting, but if you really hit him with a stick, Mr. Wei Zheng might really die."
Changsun Wuji's injured nose has been treated with medicine, and the nosebleeds have stopped.
Lu Zhaolin took people from the Imperial Medical Office to look at everyone's injuries.
Changsun Wuji asked Lu Zhaolin, "I heard that the old immortal Sun is here."
Li Xiaogong also asked out of curiosity: "Is that Dr. Sun, the old god Sun Simiao?"
Speaking of Sun Simiao, Lu Zhaolin sighed and said: "To be honest with you, my master has a weird temperament. I have heard that he is coming for a long time. I sent officers and soldiers to invite him several times. I even went there several times myself. He
I don’t even want to enter Chang’an City.”
Changsun Wuji asked: "Why is this?"
Lu Zhaolin said in a low voice: "Poor people don't have enough money to afford medical treatment. Recently, there has been a serious case of dysentery in some places outside Chang'an City."
The civil and military ministers who had just had a big fight in the Tai Chi Hall started chatting in the Ganlu Hall again. Half an hour ago they were fighting with red faces and white faces in the Tai Chi Hall.
Now we can have a little chat about home affairs.
I've seen everyone's injuries, there are minor injuries but nothing serious.
Lu Zhaolin said: "You should go back to Ganlu Hall to discuss matters."
Everyone got up in twos and threes and walked back to the Manna Hall.
Regarding whether Tuyuhun wanted war or peace, military generals and civil servants still had different opinions.
Li Shimin looked at this scene distressedly, as if he wanted to return to the same posture as in the Tai Chi Hall.
The guard hurried in and interrupted everyone's discussion, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei wishes to see you."
I thought Li Tai was kicked and knocked unconscious on the spot.
Li Shimin glanced at the people in front of him and didn't know who could kill him.
Are these old guys still lowering their heads and pretending not to know?
Li Shimin said: "Is Qingque in any serious health condition?"
The guard replied: "Zheng Lu Zhaolin, the supervisor of the Imperial Medical Office, said that there is nothing serious. He will be fine if he practices more recently. His Highness, the King of Wei, said that he has a plan to deal with Tuyuhun and is here to offer his advice."
Li Shimin glanced at these old guys again and said in a low voice: "Then let him come in."
"Here!"
Li Tai walked into the Tai Chi Hall and bowed and said, "Father."
Li Shimin looked at his son and said, "Can you see clearly who kicked you in the Tai Chi Hall?"
All the old guys lowered their heads. At this moment, everyone seemed to have lost their memory. No one could remember who kicked that kick.
Li Tai said: "It was so chaotic at the time that I didn't see clearly where the kick came from."
"A flying kick?"
"It seems so." Li Tai patted his somewhat groggy forehead again, "Er Chen felt that his eyesight went dark and he didn't know anything anymore."
Li Shimin glanced at the people in front of him again, "Tell me, what strategies do you have to offer?"
Li Tai nodded and said: "I learned yesterday that a lot of things have happened in Tubo, our neighbor in Tuyuhun, recently. Songtsen Gampo has just put down the civil strife in Tubo. I thought we could unite with Tubo to deal with Tuyuhun."
Li Shimin thought for a long time.
Li Tai added: "I thought I would send a message to Songtsen Gampo first, saying that the Tang Dynasty intended to attack Tuyuhun at this time. If the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun went to war, Tuyuhun's weak rear would definitely be unprepared for them.
It’s a good time.”
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong nodded and agreed.
Li Tai's words continued, "Furthermore, you can also send people to tell Tuyuhun about Tubo's plot, and arrange suspicious soldiers at the junction of Tubo and Tuyuhun, pretending to be Tubo people to harass Tuyuhun, or people pretending to be Tuyuhun to harass
All tribes of Tubo."
Changsun Wuji frowned and thought, "As a result, the situation between Tuyuhun and Tubo has become tense. Even if Tuyuhun wants to start a war, we still have to take care of the Tibetans in the rear."
Li Shimin's eyes looked strange when he looked at Li Tai.
"My father, the emperor, and his ministers thought that the Tang Dynasty only had to repel the Tuyuhun people who were harassing the border and send more troops to the border to put pressure on the Tuyuhun. The Tang Dynasty would show Songtsen Gampo that it really wanted to attack the Tuyuhun.
You can give Songtsen Gampo some false news."
Li Shimin looked at Yu Chigong and said, "Do we have any informants in Tubo?"
Yuchigong replied: "Your Majesty, there are indeed some spies in Tibet."
Li Shimin looked at everyone again, "What do you think of this plan?"
Changsun Wuji took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I roughly understand the strategy of His Highness the King of Wei. You might as well give it a try."
Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, this plan sounds a bit crude."
Changsun Wuji also said: "You can polish it up a bit."
Cheng Yaojin said from the side: "As for the one who plays dirty tricks, your eldest grandson, the old fox, is the best."
Changsun Wuji's face darkened when he heard this, and it was hard to get angry in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at everyone and said: "This matter will be kept secret for the time being and no one is allowed to tell it. Zhongshu Province has secretly drafted the regulations. Yuchi Gong gathers troops and horses to increase border troops at any time."
"Here!"
Everyone said in unison.
Increase troops to be stationed at border gates to prepare for emergencies.
Be prepared for any unusual movements in Tuyuhun. If there is a fire in Tuyuhun's backyard, you can just sit back and watch without sending troops to the center.
This is a strategy to gain maximum benefits at minimum cost.
It's a bit like driving a tiger to devour a wolf.
Even if Tuyuhun was not fooled by this strategy, as long as Tuyuhun dared to invade the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo in the rear would never miss such a good opportunity.
They use their information gap to create a situation, pass on true and false information, and use them together to conspire.
In this regard, the soldiers and counselors are all veteran players who have been on the battlefield for a long time. How can they engage in intrigues in the art of war with the Central Plains people? The Western Region is indeed too young.
Li Tai handed over a memorial, "I also have a memorial that I hope my father can read."
Li Shimin looked solemn after reading the contents of the memorial. After a while, he said tiredly: "Everyone, please retreat and do your work."
When everyone was about to leave the Manna Hall, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "Qingque, you stay."
Li Tai came back to his feet.
The civil and military ministers left the Manlu Hall.
Apart from the eunuchs and guards, there were only two people in the palace, Li Shimin and Li Tai.
"So you want to tell me these things in Tai Chi Hall today?"
"My son, I saw them fighting and wanted to go up and persuade them, but who knew..."
Li Shimin slowly put down the memorial in his hand, "Let's not talk about what you wrote about the monks in this memorial. How did you come up with the idea of Tuyuhun?"
Your own son knows best what kind of father he is.
Of course, as a father, Li Shimin also knew that he was not competent, but Li Tai was only ten years old.
Li Shimin still knew very well how much he weighed.
Facing Li Shimin's direct gaze, Li Tai lowered his head guiltily and whispered: "Actually, this matter is because of the emperor's husband. Zhang Yang mentioned the Tubo behind Tuyuhun. He said that the little king of Tubo was about to stand up now.
When he was intimidating, he also said that Tibet was behind Tuyuhun, so it would be a good time for him to train Songtsen Gampo."
After speaking, Li Tai waited for his father's reaction.
Li Shimin frowned, "What about this memorial for monks to return to secular life?"
Li Tai lowered his head and said, "It was also said by the emperor's husband."
Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Are you very close to him these days?"
"Yes...right."
Li Tai nodded.
Li Shimin said: "I will let them try the Tuyuhun thing, but it is not easy for this monk to return to secular life, and I don't know the dangers and disadvantages involved."
Li Tai said: "Father, the power of Buddhism is getting bigger and bigger. If it is not controlled, it will become even more uncontrollable in the future."
Li Shimin stood up and looked out of the window, "This is not the only stubborn problem of the Tang Dynasty. I have too many things to worry about."
With a long sigh, Li Shimin sat back again and said, "You should go back too."
"Here."
After Li Tai walked out of the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was thinking that it was Zhang Yang again.
He became more and more curious about Zhang Yang, what kind of person his cheap son-in-law was.
Li Tai walked out of the Chengtian Gate and left the palace, all the way to the Imperial College for classes.
The students who came to Guozi to listen to Master Kong Yingda's lectures came in one after another.
Li Tai listened to these children of the same age talking about their own interesting stories recently.
Play polo, throw pot, hunt with your own adults, or go on a banquet.
After participating in state affairs, Li Tai felt that he was no longer in the same realm as these children of the same age.
No matter how funny they say it, Li Tai will always look down on them.
While you are still worrying about your daily entertainment, I am already participating in government affairs.
Although today's court meeting had some twists and turns, after having a direction, the Datang Political Group began to take action.
The political machinery of the Tang Dynasty began to operate.
From the mobilization of the guards' troops to the implementation of the strategy.
The counselors and soldiers in Li Shimin's hands cooperated with each other.
The conspiracy against Tubo and Tuyuhun slowly unfolded.
Groups of soldiers and horses left Chang'an and rushed to the border passes to deliver orders one after another.
Li Yue was familiarizing herself with the use of the quiver at home. She pulled the arrows hidden in her sleeves by pulling the rope loop and shot out. Three arrows shot in unison, hitting the wood three-thirds of the way.
Zhang Yang said: "The most important thing about using this thing is to catch the opponent by surprise. You only have one chance. You must ensure that you hit the opponent's vital point once and make the enemy incapacitated in a short period of time."
Taking back the arrow, Li Yue didn't want to learn how to kill people, but she was willing to listen to what Zhang Yang said.
Zhang Yang looked at his account book, even though the autumn hunt in the court was over.
But fast food braised pork has opened up the market.
Delicious food and filling food are a major feature of the store.
Although Li Shimin returned to Chang'an with his army.
The store's daily profit is more than 20 yuan.
Looking at his house again, it was almost winter, and Zhang Yang was thinking about buying some wood and stone.
I am preparing some sand to decorate my home properly.
Zhang Yang planned to do the decoration by himself.
Saving labor costs is a way to save money.
Li Yue glanced sideways at Zhang Yang's account book and asked, "How much money does our family have?"
Zhang Yang looked at the account book and said: "Seven hundred and forty-one, I plan to renovate our home before winter."
Li Yue whispered: "How much will it cost?"
Zhang Yang thought about it and said: "If I do it all by myself, it won't cost much. A few bucks of stone and wood will be enough."
"Um."
Li Yue nodded slightly, took out ten coins and said, "This should be enough."
Budgeting carefully is a good habit.
Zhang Yang has lived two lives. In his last life, he was a poor man. He had to calculate his expenses a month in advance. If something unexpected happened, he might have to eat steamed buns for a few days.
I was too poor in my previous life, so I repaired things by myself when they were broken. I could make furniture by myself at no cost, and I didn’t dare to waste anything when cooking.
Being diligent and thrifty is a good habit, and it also cultivates your own hands-on ability and improves your cooking skills.
Zhang Yang looked at his house, which was left by Li Yue's father.
The area is large or small, with a walled front and a front yard, only about 100 square meters.
There is still plenty of room for renovation in this house.
At least the foundation is still good.
Zhang Yang picked up the small charcoal pen he made and sketched the appearance of the new house on a wooden board.
Li Yue, who was busy in the garden, hummed a few unknown songs from time to time.
When I listened carefully, I felt it sounded strangely familiar. Isn't this a tune I had hummed before?
