Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 522 The Battle of the Frontline News Dynasty
Time entered June, and news from the frontline battlefield flooded into Chang'an like a flood, and appeared on the case table of the Zhengshitang.

Busy officials from the six ministries of the three provinces came and went in a hurry with paperwork.

After Fang Xuanling wrote a food and grass document, he handed it over to the emperor for inspection. After getting approval, Fang Xuanling sent someone to quickly hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War.

Li Zhiyun stood in front of the map and marked on the map the positions of his own troops and the enemy's troops according to the front-line battle reports.

From the map, Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji on the western front, leading Tang Jun and Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses, have already occupied Baidao, suppressing the obsession to guard Niutou Chaona Mountain, and by the way, also cut off the possibility of Jieli fleeing westward.

On the eastern front, Duan Zhixuan, Xie Shufang, and Su Lie had already led their troops into Yunzhou, joined up with Yu Chigong, the general manager of the Yunzhou Road, and stationed at Niupiguan.

After several months of fighting, the troops on both the east and west fronts were depleted.Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji's troops on the western front were slightly better, with more than [-] people left.

The situation on the Eastern Front was even more dire. Duan Zhixuan, Xie Shufang, and Su Lie together only had more than [-] troops.

One must know that Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang originally had an army of [-], while Su Lie had [-] troops.

In other words, more than [-] people died on the Eastern Front.

Now, with the addition of the [-] troops led by Yu Chigong, Niupiguan has a full [-] troops, which is more than enough to guard against Xieli.

Li Zhiyun was not very worried about this.

The only thing he is curious about now is how Li Jing plans to break the deadlock.

"What method will you use?" Li Zhiyun murmured.

Historically, he knew that Li Jing used the method of sneak attacking the Turkic king's account, but now the situation has changed.

He was a little curious about Li Jing's choice.

It has been two months since the war broke out, the granary in the pass is rapidly depleting, and tens of thousands of civilians in various states are also rapidly mobilizing.

All kinds of numbers are shocking.

Even Li Zhiyun was a little impatient, hoping to hear good news from the front line as soon as possible.

At this time, Fang Xuanling came over and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have some ideas about the enlistment of civilian husbands in Hedong Road."

"speak."

In order to ensure that the [-] troops will fight wholeheartedly, Li Zhiyun mobilizes the people of several states in Hedong to deliver food and grass.

And doing so has serious consequences.

Without strong labor to cultivate, the grain output in Hedong Road will definitely be greatly reduced this year.

But he can't help it. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, the situation will only be more difficult than it is now when the natural disaster strikes next year.

Fang Xuanling said: "Because of farming, civilian husbands are not very willing to cooperate with the imperial court. I think that you might as well order that as long as you voluntarily help the imperial court to deliver grain and grass, you can reduce two years of hard labor."

Li Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, and said immediately: "Isn't this paying for the present in the future?"

"Yes." Fang Xuanling said: "But Your Majesty, if the Turks can be defeated, the imperial court will suffer a loss. At that time, we still have to recuperate. At that time, Your Majesty will still have to reduce or exempt the taxes of several states in Hedong."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way."

"Yes."

Before killing the Turks, Li Zhiyun can make sacrifices.

As long as the Turks are dead, there will be no more national wars in the Tang Dynasty, and even if troops are sent at that time, it will not be hundreds of thousands of troops.

It can be said that only by killing the Turks can Datang gain a firm foothold.

In the next few decades, it can slowly recover.Furthermore, Li Zhiyun has already made a follow-up plan on how to suck blood on the grassland and strengthen the Han people.

At the beginning of the month, the Tai Chi Hall is in full swing.

Li Zhiyun was dressed in black and gold imperial clothes, wearing the emperor's crown on his head, and walked up to the emperor's couch on the high platform with a sword in his hand.

Following the ceremony of the group of officials, Li Zhiyun slowly knelt down and began to discuss the affairs of the court.From Li Zhiyun's point of view, the whole hall has a panoramic view. As long as Li Zhiyun is not short-sighted, he can basically see every courtier below.

As for the ministers, they were divided into two rows on the left and right, kneeling and sitting facing each other.Those with higher status, such as Liuxiangguo, Liubu Shangshu and other officials, have a case table in front of them.Those with lower status can only sit in the crowd holding wat boards in their hands.

There are many people in Dachao, and at a glance, it is dark.

In the past few months, the important matters discussed in the court are all about the war situation on the front line.Some people think that they can't fight, and they have to withdraw their soldiers and horses, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses.Some people firmly supported the emperor and wanted to fight the Turks.

Others are indifferent, just eating and waiting to die.

An hour later, Li Zhiyun once again refuted an official who was withdrawing troops from Shangshu, and said resolutely: "Anyone who dares to withdraw troops will be killed!"

The emperor made harsh words, and the officials naturally did not dare to sing the opposite.

Although the current emperor is indeed young, the problem is that youth does not mean lack of strength.Don't look at the [-] troops going out, but there are nearly [-] soldiers and horses in the guards of Chang'an!

These soldiers and horses are all in the hands of the emperor, who dares to fight against the emperor.

Seeing that the ministers stopped talking, Li Zhiyun also hummed.There was no turning back when he opened the bow, he must kill the Turks this time.

At this moment, Tai Shi ordered Fu Yi to step out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Say."

Fu Yi tidied up his words and said: "Your Majesty, the national system was initially created, and it often followed the old system of the Sui Dynasty. After my dynasty inherited the troubled times, I should not follow the old ways, but forge ahead. I think that now that the dynasty has changed, if the Sui system is continued, the people will be ashamed." Violent Sui and panic. The world has suffered from the Sui for a long time, and the ministers feel that they should correct the Shuo, change their clothes, change their laws, and change their official names."

Fu Yibalabala quoted a lot of scriptures and classics, the core meaning is: our Tang Dynasty must be completely separated from the former Sui Dynasty, and we cannot get involved with the violent Sui Dynasty.

After Fu Yi finished speaking, before Li Zhiyun could speak, Pei Ji first jumped out to refute.

"I don't agree with Tai Shiling's words. The Wu De Law was edited by the first emperor himself after the opening of the dynasty. How could it have anything to do with the former Sui Dynasty? Don't worship your ancestors and cry on the wrong grave."

The corner of Li Zhiyun's mouth twitched, unexpectedly Pei Ji was quite humorous.

The reason why Pei Ji disliked others changing the law without authorization was because he presided over the revision of Wu De Law.

Although the new emperor likes to add two laws and decrees, he didn't change his name anyway.Fu Yi wanted to change his name this time, how could Pei Ji tolerate it.

This is a historical achievement he has made, and it will be written in the history books in the future. He will never allow others to change the name of Wu Delu while he is alive.

Of course, he would never care about trivial things like Wu Delu copying the imperial law.Da Sui is gone, so what if I copy you.

Under the strong opposition of Pei Ji, Fu Yi had no choice but to give up on changing the law.

Li Zhiyun didn't bother to disgust Pei Ji because of such a trivial matter, it didn't matter if he didn't change it.Anyway, in his opinion, as long as he can add laws at will, that's enough, the name doesn't matter.

Pei Ji is very cooperative with Li Zhiyun now, so Li Zhiyun is naturally happy to accept the kindness and maintain the stability of the court.

Later, several ministers jumped out to oppose Fu Yi's change of official name, and for a while Fu Yi was alone and helpless.

In this regard, Li Zhiyun is not very surprised, because everyone is used to stability.

But the ministers thought that if Fu Yi's memorial was passed, wouldn't the emperor start laying off people?

How does this work!
It's not that Li Zhiyun doesn't know the minds of those officials who opposed Fu Yi's change of official name, but now he can't spare the time to clean up those trash.

He has to wait until the Turks are killed.

This is also opposed, and that is also opposed, Fu Yi was besieged by many people.

Reforming this kind of thing will inevitably violate the interests of some people, so it is not surprising that Fu Yi was besieged.
