Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 54 Arguments, Choices
After the winter solstice, Chang'an is getting colder and colder, but the discussions in the palace are heated instead.

"We took full advantage of this time to dispatch troops to wipe out Xieli in one fell swoop."

"In the early years, the severe drought had just ended the disaster relief, and the treasury was empty, unable to send troops."

"If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to destroy Xieli in the future."

The civil servants and military generals in the Wude Hall insisted on their own opinions and quarreled into a mess, as if no one was humble.

Naturally, civil servants don't want to send troops, after all, they have just settled down now, and it is time for everything to be done.

On the contrary, generals don't have this concern. They only know the shame brought by Jieli's troops coming to the city a year ago. As for the logistics, it is the matter of civil servants.

Even Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, also had some headaches. He was inclined to send troops to the Turks emotionally, taking advantage of Xieli's current weakness to deal a fatal blow.

But Li Shimin knew that Datang was unable to support another war if he was rational.

However, the opportunity is only in a flash, and even Li Shimin would feel a pity if he missed it, especially since it took several days for the news to come and go.

After the court meeting was as fruitless as imagined, Li Shimin left three important ministers, Changsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, Keming, Xuanling, do you think I should send troops?"

Li Shimin looked at the three think tanks in front of him with flickering eyes and said, with a hint of hesitation in his words.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so."

Changsun Wuji spoke first, with a hint of determination in his words.

"My minister agrees!"

Fang Xuanling said slowly, as the order of Zhongshu, he is even more aware of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, and it really cannot stand a war.

As for Du Ruhui at the end, he remained silent for the simple reason that he understood His Majesty's feelings.

But Li Shimin's face revealed a trace of displeasure, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Du Ruhui at the end. If he just gave up the opportunity like this, he would feel unwilling.

"What's Keming's opinion?"

Facing His Majesty's questioning, Du Ruhui couldn't keep silent.

"Keming seconded the proposal, but His Majesty can ask the teacher's opinion."

Du Ruhui's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his words.

"Ya father?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he murmured, as if he hadn't thought that this matter had anything to do with this cheap father-in-law.

"Actually, the teacher is good at general trends, but he is not known to others. Presumably the strategy is not much worse."

Du Ruhui said slowly with light shining in his eyes, he was not just talking nonsense, but had already had examples.

When he was listening to the teacher's lecture, he heard the teacher talk about the possibility of chaos in the future, and the world is full of wars.

At that time, he didn't think it was difficult, after all, the national power of the Sui Dynasty was so strong, but as time passed, he realized that everything that happened seemed to be within his teacher's expectation.

This is a little secret in his heart, and it is also the reason why Du Ruhui still chooses to be a teacher even after many years.

"Maybe the teacher will have some ideas."

Changsun Wuji seemed to think of something and said that when he followed the teacher back then, he would not forget the teacher's nonsense.

What impressed him the most was that Yang Guang's three campaigns against Korea failed, and the teacher had already concluded that he would fail before the results appeared.

As for Fang Xuanling's words, his expression was also puzzled, when did this Duke Anxuan become good at general trends, why hadn't he heard of it.

Afterwards, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji briefly explained their experiences back then, which surprised Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

"When did father-in-law have such a skill?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but murmured, in his impression, this father-in-law was extremely talented, and now he likes food a little more.

As for the strategy or something, he really didn't see it, but no matter what, he seemed to have to go to Shu Mansion again.

Because neither Changsun Wuji nor Du Ruhui are people who talk freely, not to mention that they can't lie on their faces.

Suburbs of Chang'an
Shu An couldn't help showing a hint of satisfaction when he looked at the academy that had been established in an orderly manner.

It's just that what surprised him was that Wang Xuance actually wanted to learn the art of war, although he guessed there was some chemical reaction before.

But this chemical reaction seems to be a bit big, after all, it is said that Wang Xuance is different from Xue Rengui, and he made up his mind early.

On the contrary, he has read the books of sages for ten years. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be determined to be a supreme minister? Why did he start learning the art of war not long after he came to the academy?

"Teacher, after I got in touch with my senior brother, I realized that the only thing my Tang man should do is to fight on the battlefield."

"I don't know how many foreign races are raging on the border. If you don't know it, forget it. But now Xuan Ce believes that we have a responsibility that cannot be slackened."

"Originally, Xuan Ce wanted to obtain fame and fame, but with the existence of a teacher, Xuan Ce would not be far away, so Xuan Ce wanted to try another path."

Seemingly seeing his teacher's doubts, Wang Xuance mustered up the courage and started to say, he thought about this for a long time last night.

Originally, he had to think for a few more days before looking for his teacher, but he didn't expect that his teacher would come to him today, so Wang Xuance couldn't help it anymore.

After finishing speaking, Wang Xuance couldn't help but look at the expressionless teacher, then lowered his head, waiting for the teacher's final decision.

In fact, he asked his senior brother first last night, but the senior brother did not hesitate to comfort him, and the teacher would agree.

But when he actually faced the teacher, Wang Xuance couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Shu An couldn't help showing a smile when he looked at the students with their heads down. It seemed that he was influenced by Xue Rengui, and even Wang Xuance couldn't help being honest.

With his relationship, it is really not difficult to become an official, and even because of his relationship, it is not impossible for Wang Xuance to be a prime minister.

However, now he has given up such a glamorous path and chose another path. You must know that the military commander himself has no influence.

Even if they are influential, at most they start from small pawns, even those honorable children.

Of course, those honorable children will definitely arrange a little bit, and after a few rounds of qualifications, they will gradually rise up, and they will not leave any clues.

And it is undoubtedly more difficult for Wang Xuance to take this path, maybe he might die in the battlefield if he is not careful.

"well said!"

Just at this time, a voice of applause came from behind the two of them.

Shu An was very familiar with this voice, because it was Li Shimin's voice, but Shu An was puzzled.

Li Shimin shouldn't be discussing the Turks, how could he appear in his academy, Shu An didn't know that his students had already sold him out.
