Chapter 427
Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Hall, Ten Days Court Meeting.

"Report to Your Majesty, minister Wei Ting has something to report." At the beginning of the court meeting, Wei Ting, the doctor of imperial history, came out of the line first holding a Wuban.

Wei Ting is a son of a family, from the Guanlong giant Jingzhao Wei's Xiaoyao Gongfang. His father Wei Chong, a former minister of the Sui Minbu, had a good relationship with Li Yuan. It is for this reason that Wei Ting has been acquainted with Prince Yin since he was a child. Leading the left guard of Li Jiancheng's East Palace Prince, he won Li Jiancheng's trust.

In the seventh year of Wude, because of Yang Wenqian's work, he lived in Yizhou with Wang Gui and Du Yan. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he emphasized his talents and was transferred back to Chang'an.Wei Ting successively served as Minister Youcheng and Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Later, because Wen Yanbo, the former imperial envoy, was transferred to Zhongshuling, he was recommended by Wang Gui, the teacher of the king of Wei, and was promoted to be an imperial envoy.

Because Wei Ting was Li Jiancheng's old party, although he was reused by Li Shimin and had good friends with Wei Wang Li Tai, he still acted cautiously and seldom said much in the court. It was the first time he was so active at the court meeting.

Li Shimin asked, "What is Wei Qing reporting?"

Wei Ting said: "The imperial censor platform is connected to the supervisory censor Hong Fan of Hedong Road, and the report will be forwarded to His Majesty according to the law."

Because Li Shimin's beloved son Li Ke is now in charge of Hedong, he was afraid that something might happen to Li Ke. When Li Shimin heard the words "Hedong Road" in Wei Ting's mouth, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Ting handed Hong Fan's memorabilia into the hands of the internal officials, and said: "Hedong Road Supervising Censor Hong Fan impeached His Royal Highness King Chu, Governor of Bingzhou. I hope His Majesty will see clearly."

As early as after Li Ke led the army to the north, Li Shimin once asked about politics in the political affairs hall. According to Li Ke's proposal, he wanted to temporarily make peace with Xue Yantuo, and canonized Xue Yantuo's two sons as little khans to divide their national power for later.

Li Shimin had issued an edict to make peace, but Li Ke still led an army of [-] to the north to fight Xue Yantuo, which was indeed suspected of resisting the edict.

However, after all, Hong Fan was only inspecting the censors in the local area and hearing the news. In fact, as early as when Li Ke led the army to the north, he sent envoys to Beijing to report the matter to Li Shimin. Li Shimin had already known about Li Ke's northern expedition. .

Li Shimin first asked: "When did Hong Fan send the playbook to Beijing?"

Wei Ting replied truthfully: "It was sent out five days ago, and it just arrived in Beijing yesterday."

Five days ago, Li Shimin nodded.

Official Hong Fan was in Taiyuan, not in the army, so the news was not well-informed, and Li Ke, as the governor of Bingzhou, naturally would not inform Hong Fan, the mere eighth-rank supervisory censor, in advance when he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, so Hong Fan also knew it later.

However, Li Shimin didn't care much about this matter. It was the ability of the supervisory censor to hear the news, and Li Ke's actions were indeed inappropriate.

Li Shimin said: "The Northern Expedition of the King of Chu has been reported to me. Although the King of Chu is suspected of going ahead and playing later, it is not the King of Chu's fault. At that time, Dadu set up a entrenched Nuozhen River. If you want to occupy my territory, I am a big Tang's military policy, not giving up an inch of land, the king of Chu came out to defend our rivers and mountains, I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Military aircraft on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Li Shimin has been in the army for many years, how can he not know these truths, so Li Shimin will not blame Hong Fan for his words, nor will he condemn Li Ke.

Hearing this, Wei Ting leaned over and responded, "Your Majesty's words are very true, but I've made a fuss out of a molehill."

Even though what Li Ke did was inappropriate, it was not too big a violation. It was reasonable. There are not a few generals in the court who have acted like this. Wei Ting has been in the court for a long time. Bringing Li Ke down just now is tantamount to fantasy, so Wei Ting did not insist.

However, Wei Ting, as a doctor of imperial history, since he brought up this matter, how could he be aimless, and the Hong Fan memorabilia presented by Wei Ting was just an introduction.

Just as Wei Ting withdrew, Qin Kun, a doctor in the Ministry of War, came out immediately and said to Li Shimin, "I would like to report to your majesty, although I think that what the Yushitai played may seem like a big deal, but it is not completely unreasonable."

Li Shimin did not expect that someone from the Ministry of War would suddenly stand up and ask, "Why did Mr. Qin say that?"

Qin Kun replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu cut first and then played. He sent troops to the Northern Expedition without permission. He privately dispatched [-] Turkic light cavalry in Xiangcheng, and the military affairs in the south of the desert. What's more, the Northern Expedition was nearly a month, and [-] troops Outside the Kongxuan Pass, food and grass are consumed enormously, yet no news has been sent back, and it is indeed wrong to disregard my Tang Erlang's life and His Majesty's trust."

Listening to Qin Kun's words, Li Shimin frowned slightly inadvertently.

At the beginning, Li Ke paid homage to the governor of Bingzhou, because he was transferred from the governor of Yangzhou, so he didn't have a court discussion, and he didn't know about the Ministry of War.

A Qin Kun and Li Shimin didn't care much, what Li Shimin cared about was the meaning of Sun Wuji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. If Qin Kun's actions were pointed out by Changsun Wuji, it would be a little troublesome.

Li Shimin thought about it, turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji, only to find that Changsun Wuji's eyes were half closed, and the old god was standing on the ground, wandering out of the sky, as if he had nothing to do with him. Obviously, this matter had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, what Qin Kun said was not what Changsun Wuji meant.

Li Shimin said: "Although what the king of Chu did was inappropriate, but the enemy is in front of him, and the king of Chu also took advantage of the situation. It is understandable. What Qin Langzhong said is a bit harsh."

Qin Kun said: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the safety of our northern territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers should not be taken lightly."

Li Shimin asked: "What does Qin Langzhong mean?"

Qin Kun replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that although the King of Chu once commanded the army in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is not as good as Hedong. The King of Chu has experienced border wars for the first time. It is inevitable that he has some inexperience. I am afraid that he is not a good general. I think that the governor of Bingzhou The candidate should choose another veteran general to avoid chaos in the northern border."

Li Ke was ordered to manage the northern region, but when he first arrived in Hedong, he was good at mobilizing the Turkic horsemen of Ashina Simo, which was indeed a loss of consideration. Qin Kun is a doctor of the Ministry of War, and this matter is under Qin Kun's jurisdiction. Qin Kun There was nothing wrong with Kun's report on this matter, and Li Shimin was not displeased at first, but after Qin Kun's words came out, Li Shimin faintly became angry.

Li Ke is Li Shimin's beloved son, and among all the scholars, Li Ke is the most virtuous and has the best reputation. Qin Kun bluntly said that Li Ke lacks experience and is not a good general. It is strange that Li Shimin can feel at ease.

Li Shimin said displeasedly: "You are a doctor of the Ministry of War, and you should know military affairs. Changing commanders in battle is a big taboo for military strategists. How can you not know it? What's more, the king of Chu is both civil and military, and he is proficient in the art of war. How can you be a man who doesn't know how to fight? Discuss later."

Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he was obviously angry, but the situation in the Tang Dynasty was open, and Li Shimin seldom sinned because of his words. With the example of Wei Zheng, Qin Kun was not afraid, let alone Li Ke. live ahead.

Qin Kun said: "Your Majesty is a wise man. Haven't you heard the story of Zhao Kuo? Although the King of Chu joined the army at a young age and is proficient in the art of war, he has shortcomings in front of battle. If this continues, he may repeat the same mistakes as Changping. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly."
