Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 739 So!broken!
"Hey! Changsun Wuji can't stand up and help out now. Although the boy has a small official position, he is so humble that he dare not forget to worry about the country. How can you live like this? You said that Cheng Chumo waited in the small official's mansion to drink and come out drunk. Is there any evidence for it? Could it be that you think your son is a good thing, but he didn't meet the small official yesterday, otherwise, hehe..."

"It's a good sentence to be humble and dare not forget to worry about the country!"

At this time, Li Shimin can no longer allow the situation to continue to develop. Although he enjoys this state of mutual restraint among the ministers, as the emperor, he must grasp his proportions at critical times, otherwise, once the situation gets out of control, it will be very difficult. It was not the result he wanted. Xu Tian's sharp words just gave him an entry point to intervene in this matter, so he accepted Qin Wenyuan's words.

It's just that Li Shimin only knows whether Li Shimin's words are a compliment or a sarcasm, and he continued to speak softly afterwards.

"Okay! Don't continue arguing about these trivial matters in the palace. I have passed on my order to release Cheng Chumo and others to go home and think about the high-ranking official Sun Chong. As the young minister of the Zongzheng Temple, he has no official status. He will be fined for one year's salary as a warning. Xiaoyou, Zhang Gongjin must not interfere with the duties of the Jingzhaoyin Mansion in the future, otherwise go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take charge of civil affairs."

Nima!The emperor knows how to play tai chi, and he handled the matter lightly and skillfully with [-] strokes each. It seems that the eldest grandson family has a very high status in the emperor's heart. If there is a chance, the young master would like to meet Meet the eldest Sun Chong.

Qin Wenyuan thought so after listening to the emperor's oral order, but unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly changed the subject and talked about Liaodong to the officials...

Only Li Shimin said seriously in the hall.

"My dear friends, the Eastern Turks have come under my rule. Apart from the Tuyuhun and Gaochang countries in the west, my country is now under the influence of the minority regimes in the northeast. The land of Liaocheng and Songmo has been destroyed since the Sui Dynasty. There are a large number of Han people living there, but due to historical reasons, there are many disputes in the area, so that the population is sparse and a large amount of land is abandoned. I want people to go to Pingzhou area to exercise the power of the yamen, and gradually make the multi-ethnic area in this area naturalize to the Tang Dynasty I don’t know that Aiqing is willing to volunteer to go to Pingzhou City to take charge of the government and relieve the court’s worries.”

Li Shimin told Qin Wenyuan lightly with his eyes, and Qin Wenyuan understood the emperor's strategy of retreating in seconds.

It's hard for this old man to be an emperor!Knowing that the young master has taken a fancy to that place, but in order not to attract the attention of those aristocratic families and nobles who are good at smelling blood and want to sting a few times, they pretended to discuss this matter in the court to show the complicated situation here. The ministers of the aristocratic and powerful families in the imperial court retreated despite the difficulties.

well!You said that your emperor ordered it, why do you have to care about the opinions of these families and nobles?
This is because Qin Wenyuan couldn't understand the emperor's idea of ​​​​making a place develop without constraints. Based on Li Shimin's understanding of the Guanlong nobles and the five surnames and seven wangs, once these families that can affect the structure of the Tang Dynasty make trouble, No matter how good your strategy is, you will end up with a lot of chicken feathers, and you will not be able to achieve the expected purpose after a lot of effort.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin and others started to discuss in a group. Anyone who saw the desire in their eyes could know what they were thinking.

Even Li Chengqian's heart was already very hot at this time. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he also wanted his confidants to control the vast area of ​​Liaodong.

The princes and ministers in the palace are all worrying about this matter, but most of the court officials are thinking that if the various ethnic groups can live in harmony and develop smoothly as the emperor requested, there is no strong army and It is almost impossible to support a large amount of money and material resources.

Only Chai Shao, Qin Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and others who knew the reason were silent. How could these old foxes not know Li Shimin's tricks? After talking, these old ghosts who want to covet the power of that place don't even think about it, who has that ability, and who is willing to use their own resources to manage that complicated place with advanced ideas like Xu Tian's.

After half a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji thought that he had reached a consensus with his party members, so he went a few steps forward and said to the emperor first.

"Your Majesty! I think that the complex land of Liaodong must be developed simultaneously to make a difference. I don't know which general the Emperor wants to send to lead the army to this place, and what measures will the imperial court take to vigorously develop it?"

"Changsun Aiqing, good question! In the Liaodong area, I only want to send capable ministers to manage it. The court has no measures to help it develop. Everything is done by the ministers who go to the area in military, political, and people's livelihood. On the one hand, it decides on its own, and its purpose is to make the multi-ethnic groups in the area accept the laws of the Tang Dynasty and assimilate smoothly, making it a barrier for the Northeast of the Tang Dynasty to freely attack and defend, and to ensure that the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be invaded by the minority regime in the area. Regarding the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, I hope that a powerful family or aristocrat will use the strength accumulated over the years to actively petition to go to this place to take charge of the government to relieve the court's worries, but Changsun Aiqing would like your eldest grandson family to go to this place to take charge of the government?"

After listening to the emperor's remarks, Changsun Wuji undoubtedly took a breath of air. He never thought that the emperor's idea of ​​not paying a penny but only harvesting is what he wants to do. It's a nice thing to do.

The old boy's eyes rolled wildly, and suddenly he fixed his eyes on Xu Tian, ​​thinking, why not let this boy go to that place, in this way, wouldn't it be possible to expel this boy from the elite circle of Chang'an City and keep him in that place? Competing with the strong, whether he can save his life is another matter, but isn't this more effective than seeking revenge for this kid in Chang'an?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji thought he had a plan, and immediately spoke to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty! Speaking of this ability, I think that Qin Wenyuan, the general of chariots and cavalry, is well-deserved. Master Qin is the best choice for managing Liaodong. The people of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the emperor's world, still want to put aside their own trivial matters and recommend Lord Qin to take on this important task, and ask the emperor to play it."

Li Daozong, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting and other ministers and nobles who were dissatisfied with the emerging family of the Xu family suddenly heard what Changsun Wuji said. At first, these ministers didn't know what kind of schizophrenia this eldest grandson had, so they tasted it carefully. The servant's words and the emperor's words finally came to some ignorance, all implying that the eldest grandson's quick brain reaction is not comparable to that of everyone.

For a while, Li Daozong, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting and other ministers in the main hall all came out to stand with Changsun Wuji, and after paying homage to the emperor, Wei Ting said loudly.

"Your Majesty! I think it makes sense to listen to Mr. Changsun's performance. At the same time, I admire Mr. Changsun's noble sentiments for the country and the people. Liaodong is not a minister who is decisive and has rules like Mr. Xu. , please allow the emperor."

Seeing that these big figures who usually wish to kill Qin Wenyuan are so abnormal today, except for the few ministers in the hall who know that this is just a scheme used by the emperor to sweep away the restrictions on Xu Tian, ​​the rest of the ministers think that Changsun Wuji is so cruel. , To actually play in front of the emperor to make Xu Tian go to that bitter cold place at a young age, without the support of the court, wouldn't it be in vain to die.

And those wise ministers like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng always feel that the emperor's remarks today seem to have deep meaning, as if the emperor and Xu Tian have a tacit understanding with each other, looking at Xu Tian's calm and calm attitude , a smile that is not a smile, the more this kind of thinking takes shape in the hearts of these ministers, the minister who originally wanted to speak for Qin Wenyuan to shirk such errands, now wants to see if the emperor and Qin Wenyuan are what they think It's just a play.

Seeing Changsun Wuji and other ministers like this, the joy in Li Shimin's heart was as refreshing as eating ice cubes in the dog days. The old emperor said to Qin Wenyuan with a smile while stroking the long beard on his chin.

"Qin Wenyuan! All the ministers in the court recommended you to take charge of Liaodong. Do you have the ability, and are you willing to share my worries?"

"Your Majesty! This humble minister is a brick in the Tang Dynasty. Wherever you need it, you have to move it. As for your ability, it's better not to mention it in a humble way, lest others say that you are proud. If the emperor decides that you want to go to Liaodong, you should do your best. Just do what the emperor ordered."

"Well! Your attitude today is not bad, kid. However, I want to tell you carefully that the imperial court can only give you an imperial decree in Liaodong and has no other help. Everything depends on you to solve it yourself. How can you Think it over, and if you have any other needs, you can put them forward now, as long as it doesn't involve money, food, or the army, I can agree to you."

After the emperor said this, he looked at Qin Wenyuan, his eyes seemed to say.

"I have already cleared the obstacles for you, the rest is up to you!"

Qin Wenyuan understood, smiled and said slowly to the emperor.

"I thank the emperor for his trust. The boy has no other request from the court. The only thing is to ask the emperor to let Luo Shiyi and the boy's brothers accompany him. At the same time, the boy dared to ask the emperor for official status in front of the emperor for the brothers. Slightly Liaodong has a good reputation and does things well."

Hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly spoke before the emperor made a statement.

"Your Majesty! My minister's son Cheng Chumo often said at home that he wanted to make some contributions to the Great Tang. This time, Qin Wenyuan's kid went to Liaodong. I begged the emperor to allow my son to go with me, so that I can learn some military and political skills from this kid. In the future It will also become the pillar of my Tang Dynasty."

Hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, all the ministers felt a chill, damn it!As long as your unscrupulous son is still a pillar of talent, don't laugh at the big teeth of the old man.

Just when Li Shimin thought the same thing, Yuchi Jingde also said loudly.

"Your Majesty! I also want my son to go to Liaodong with Qin Wenyuan to practice, and I ask the emperor to help me."

After hearing Yuchi Jingde's words, Qin Qiong and Fang Xuanling followed suit.

"Your Majesty! Instead of being idle in Chang'an City, I'd rather go to Liaodong City with Qin Wenyuan to practice. You will be able to lead the army if you gain some military qualifications. Your Majesty, please help me!"

But Chai Shao heard from his son that Qin Wenyuan asked him to wait at home for his wife to give birth to a son before going to Liaodong. I have to let it go and talk about it later.

After Li Shimin quietly listened to the requests of several ministers, he knew that these families had known about Qin Wenyuan's trip to Liaodong, and they could let his son follow him. This shows how much these families value Qin Wenyuan's ability. Get some benefits, otherwise, who would be willing to send their children to such a far place.

"Qin Wenyuan! You would like these youngsters from the Duke's family to go to Liaodong with you. Is it related to these youngsters that you said earlier that seeking official status for several brothers?"

"Your Majesty is really alive with Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, you can guess what's in your heart!"

All the ministers heard that Qin Wenyuan compared Li Shimin to the wisest emperor in ancient times, and they all admired Qin Wenyuan's skill in flattering for a while. This kid is not only super capable, but also good at flattering the emperor.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this kid's metaphor from Qin Wenyuan's mouth. The so-called one thousand clothes, one flattery, who doesn't like other people's compliments on him, so he smiled and said to Xu Tian.

"I will grant your request, and let the boys from the Duke's family go to Liaodong with you!"

After saying this, Li Shimin continued.

"Let's read the decree of the Hanlin Bachelor! Qin Wenyuan wrote that the fourth-rank cavalry generals will lead the Pingzhou governor to lead the military and political affairs of the cities in Pingzhou. I will leave Chang'an and go north to take up my post soon, I respect you!"

After the emperor issued an oral order, he had his own scholar drafted an edict and sent it to the ministerial provinces. In this way, Qin Wenyuan's idea of ​​conquering Liaodong was finally supported by legal principles, and he could carry out his plan confidently.

Looking at everything that happened in the palace, Changsun Wuji and others gradually began to feel that something was wrong. What they didn't know was that although the emperor intended to hand over this matter to Qin Wenyuan, he was actually interested in the strength of the Qin family, and at the same time, the more important The point is that Xu Tian regards this as his ideal for the people rather than just plundering. Compared with many powerful families who do this, they can play a greater role in the empire. As the emperor of the empire Well, what he wants is a courtier with ideals like Qin Wenyuan.

Soon the Hanlin scholars wrote the imperial decree, and after the emperor used the jade seal, the official announced it in the hall.

Qin Wenyuan received the imperial decree and shouted Long Live, and in the main hall, the imperial court secretary and all ministries, ministers, and military leaders all came forward to congratulate.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin and others realized that what happened in the hall this time might be some kind of agreement reached by the emperor and Qin Wenyuan long ago. They had to suppress the hatred in their hearts even after the imperial decree was issued. Qin Wenyuan was usually unhappy. People like Li Daozong also pretended to greet Qin Wenyuan and pretend to congratulate him. This is the intrigue in the officialdom.
