Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 499

Since Li Zhi came to the throne, Datang has adopted a national policy of recuperation, and there have been few large-scale battles in the past ten years.I also fought Goguryeo once, and returned without success. I conquered Baekje once, and destroyed the country.

During the Zhenguan Dynasty, there were too many foreign conquests, and the vitality of the people was seriously injured. Li Zhi, the emperor who wanted to use war to achieve some achievements beyond the previous emperor, finally waited for a chance to fight abroad in a legitimate way. As a result... there was no food.

The emperor didn't start his business halfway, but spent his budget halfway.

It is conceivable that Li Zhi felt aggrieved at this moment.

It's like meeting a girl who wants to take care of her for the rest of her life at the most powerless age.

In the Hall of Taiji, the truth became clearer and clearer, and Li Zhi gradually understood the status quo.

The officials were still arguing endlessly in the hall, but Li Zhi's eyes were red, he was biting his lower lip and wanted to cry, his chest was stuffy and congested.

How much he wanted to fight this war.

Li Zhi's personality is quite gentle, but he is more warlike than his father in his bones, but the fact that Datang needs to recuperate makes him have to suppress this warlike emotion.

After finally looking forward to a chance of war, he had to swallow his anger because of lack of food.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi felt deeply humiliated at this moment.

"Huanghuang Shangguo, can't even fight a big war? What have I managed all these years?" Li Zhi asked with tears in his eyes.

The upright Liu Rengui made a stab with no eyesight: "Yes, I can't afford it."

Li Zhi clenched his fists tightly, not knowing if he wanted to beat Tubo or Liu Rengui.

"The only plan for now is that I, Tang Dynasty, don't care about Tuyuhun?" Li Zhi said disheartened.

The veterans who had been silent for a long time were fried again. Li Ji said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty must not ignore it! If the Tuyuhun is lost, the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty will be lost. If the territory laid down by the two previous emperors is lost in my hands, how can I lose it?" Face the ancestors?"

Hope rose again in Li Zhi's eyes: "Then, bite your teeth and hit me?"

The veterans fell silent again, and the gathered heroes were short of breath.

Without food, are the soldiers working hard for the country while drinking the northwest wind?

At this time, the right minister Xu Jingzong finally stood up and said slowly: "The old minister's opinion is to send envoys to Tuyuhun in advance to reconcile and turn things around, and wait and see the changes."

"At the same time, mobilize the grain from the official warehouses in Jiangnan and Huainan, and try to raise as many batches as possible, even if it is only for a 5-strong army, as long as they can raise enough for three months, Great Tang is eligible to participate in this war. "

Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "Can Jiangnan and Huainan raise food?"

Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said: "Yes, Huainan in the south of the Yangtze River has always been a land of grain production. In addition to the surplus of official warehouses, there are also a lot of private grain storage of folk gentry and landlords. If the imperial court is really determined to fight this war, it might as well let the government Come forward and borrow grain from private landlords."

"In this way, it is probably not difficult to supply a king's army of 5 to [-] people for three months. The difficulty is that it takes time to raise funds. Therefore, the veteran said that he should first send envoys to Tuyuhun to make peace and buy time for the Tang Dynasty to raise food. .”

"Once the food collection is completed, the Tang Dynasty can immediately send troops to Liangzhou, and the soldiers will point directly at Tuyuhun to drive the Tubo thieves out of the territory of Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty will permanently station troops in Tuyuhun in the name of protecting the vassal state. From then on, the Western Regions and Datang The territory will be connected into one piece, turning from defense to offense."

Li Zhi was overjoyed: "Send an envoy, a prudent and intelligent envoy, to go to Tuyuhun on my behalf, to mediate the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and buy time for the Tang Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that when he and Li Qinzai played against each other last time, when it came to the topic of Tubo and Tuyuhun, Li Qinzai also said that he should send envoys to reconcile and then station troops in Liangzhou in order to advance backward.

Playing the theory of rightness, coincides with the prime minister today, and he is indeed a rare talent.

Master Xu Yu, Minister of the Left, said in embarrassment: "Who should be sent as envoys?"

The ministers discussed and quarreled again.

But a familiar face appeared in Li Zhi's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was suitable.

This guy still wants to play wild?Still want to go sightseeing?Hehe, go dreaming!
Li Zhi was certain in his heart, and said with a smile: "I have already made up my mind about who to envoy."

…………

Ganjingzhuang Bieyuan.

The whole family happily loaded things into the carriage, and a lazy person like Li Qinzai did it himself.

You must bring a basin for washing your face, and toilet paper is a must. By the way, Cui Jie's monthly event, the original aunt's towel must also be prepared...

Qiao'er's slingshot can be returned to him. It's okay to play birds on the road to relieve boredom.

He has more things to bring himself, folding deck chairs, tents, snacks, fine wine, um, does Little Baga bring it?It can be considered, what if there is a bloody plot like touching the wrong tent in the middle of the night?Bringing Xiaobaga is a foreshadowing of the plot.

Feeling indescribably happy, tired and happy.

Li Sujie squatted at the gate of the other courtyard, watching his husband's family bustling around, but he sighed in a low mood, like an abandoned stray dog.

"Sir, can't you bring your disciples with you? Disciples don't cause troubles for you. You can afford your expenses all the way, and you can still serve you at any time..." Li Sujie said pitifully.

Li Qinzai was in a great mood, and gave him a slap on the back of his head: "Don't mess around, your task now is to study. My family of three is traveling, so what's the matter with you being caught in the middle? I don't think there is an extra hyena among a group of lions." Violation?"

"How long do you want to travel, sir?" Li Sujie asked earnestly.

"Three months, your father only gave me three months..." Li Qinzai sighed, seeing Li Sujie's sad expression, he hurriedly comforted him.

"Study well in the school. I actually miss you all. When I think of leaving you outstanding cuties, I feel uncomfortable. Haha, haha, hahahaha..."

Li Sujie rolled his eyes: "Sir, you are so happy..."

"Haha, laugh when you are extremely sad, laugh when you are extremely sad!" Li Qinzai was happy just thinking about it, ah no, it was uncomfortable!
The emotions were exposed too much, Li Qinzai had no choice but to turn and look at the trilogy.

"Is everything packed? Ready to go! Qiao'er, Qiao'er! Don't run around, get on the carriage quickly. Where's Madam?"

After being in a hurry, the family of three boarded the carriage, and two hundred people guarded the carriage. There were also three carriages full of daily necessities for the family of three, and the group set off in a mighty manner.

The disciples of the school saw each other off at the entrance of the village one after another. Compared to Li Qinzai's sad smile, the students were really reluctant to part and followed the carriage for a long walk.

However, less than a mile after the carriage walked out of the village entrance, a fast horse galloped ahead.

Li Qinzai lifted the curtain of the car and stared at the smoke and dust raised by the fast horse in the distance, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart for some reason.

Shouldn't extreme joy beget sorrow?
