Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 927
Chapter 49 A group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and Duan sat together in the Provincial Political Affairs Hall under Menxia. Li Jiancheng, at the suggestion of Chen Ying, appointed Li Jing as Minister of the Ministry of War and Political Advisor, and entered the Political Affairs Hall.

In this way, Li Jiancheng's Kaiyuan Dynasty changed the political affairs hall of Li Yuan's Wude Dynasty, and the six prime ministers to the five prime ministers.

At the Political Affairs Hall, when Li Jiancheng was discussing about taking Tuli in.

Li Jiancheng came to the political affairs hall, and all the ministers attended the ceremony to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "I brought an ear here today, you continue!"

Fang Xuanling coughed and said, "Take Tuli in, what will Jieli think?"

Yang Gongren said indifferently: "What can he think, when he eats the fat in his mouth and suddenly loses a big piece, Jieli must be furious."

Wei Zheng frowned and said: "Xieli attacked Tuli, we didn't go to rescue him, Xieli will definitely judge, we are afraid of him. Maybe, Xieli will send someone to Chang'an to ask for Tuli."

Fang Xuanling said: "If Jieli came to ask for someone, should we give it or not? Jieli didn't get someone, maybe he would go south to take revenge."

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling expressionlessly and said, "Handing Tuli Khan to Jieli will bring any benefits to Datang?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "Since we won't gain anything by doing this, why do we do this? Weakness can be bullied?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng's calm voice suddenly turned into a furious roar: "Is your brain not working?"

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling's suffocated expression, and felt very happy in his heart.

Ever since he ascended the throne, Fang Xuanling has been a troll. Whatever Li Jiancheng did, Fang Xuanling would scold him. Especially Fang Xuanling used righteousness to force Li Jiancheng to make concessions, making Li Jiancheng disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

It's all right now, Li Jiancheng used Fang Xuanling's words to scold him back and forth.

Fang Xuanling remained silent.

Li Jiancheng went on to say: "How can you allow other people to snore on the side of the couch? There is only one Great Tang in this world. Not only will I not hand over Tuli to Jieli, but I will also reward him heavily. I want to make Tuli the Great." Tang's Beiping County King, stationed in Youzhou."

Of course, with Anton's ability to protect Li Shiji, there is absolutely no problem in watching Tuli die.

Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

But Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what good will it do Tang Dynasty to go to war with the Turks?"

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling firmly and said: "A seriously weakened Turkic is in the interests of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperous Tang Dynasty does not need a strong grassland tribal neighbor. It's a good Turk!"

Wei Zheng, Yang Gongren, Yuwen Shi and others looked at each other in panic.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, those who respect the position but have no virtue will be dismissed, those who are rich but have no righteousness will be punished; those who are humble but love virtue will be honored, and those who are poor but righteous will be honored. Duke Huan of Qi upholds virtue to be hegemony, Qin II, upholds Death by punishment is a lesson from the past, Your Majesty will not forget it."

Yuwen Shiji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Wei Xiangguo said is right. A gentleman holds the way and governs, acts according to virtue, stands with benevolence, and stands upright with righteousness. If you blindly pursue kings and hegemony, it will be harmful to the country and society!"

Yang Gongren nodded repeatedly.

Fang Xuanling looked at the crowd without saying a word.

Li Jiancheng noticed that Fang Xuanling was keeping silent, and asked provocatively, "Fang Xuanling, why don't you speak?"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Because Your Majesty is right, I have nothing to say."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

The Prime Ministers sitting next to him stared at Fang Xuanling in surprise.

Yuwen Shiji "hummed" rather dissatisfied, "Is this something Fang Xuanling can say?"

Fang Xuanling stood up, and said loudly: "May I ask all the ministers, what is benevolence? What is righteousness?"

Everyone was silent and looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling said in a stern voice: "In the first year of Wude, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Shibi, then Khan of the Eastern Turks, personally led an army of 15 to attack Bingzhou, taking more than [-] men and women abducted, and led more than [-] cavalry to plunder In the second year of Wude, he attacked Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and Lingzhou, and slaughtered Fengzhou in Baidi. In the third year of Wude, Ashina Dubi led an army of [-], and cooperated with Liu Wuzhou to attack Hedong. In the Dudu Pass, the people were displaced, and thousands of people died on the left side of the road; from the first year of Wude to the seventh year of Wude, the Eastern Turks invaded the Tang Dynasty almost every year. At that time, what is the benevolence and justice of the court?"

Fang Xuanling faced Li Jiancheng, and said with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty, the benevolence and righteousness of a saint are never used to measure a person's moral character, they are used to govern the country..."

Li Jiancheng sat up straight unconsciously.

Fang Xuanling said excitedly: "Love those who support you, guard those who support you, let all those who support you live and work in peace, let all those who threaten them feel the power of your steel knife, This is the benevolence and righteousness of the imperial court." Li Jiancheng suddenly stood up and stared at Fang Xuanling

Yang Gongren looked back and forth between Fang Xuanling and Li Jiancheng in surprise and excitement.

The two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes were extremely firm.

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "The war with the Turks is not as simple as a one-off event. The Turks are not paper wolves. Even now, they can still pull out a cavalry force of 30 at any time. Moreover, Jieli is facilitating the war with the Turks. The alliance of the surrounding ministries, such an enemy, you and I must not take it lightly."

Wei Zheng said: "We can't go too far. Guanlong has not yet escaped the famine. No matter from training soldiers to raising food and fodder, the Tang Dynasty has not yet made preparations for a strategic decisive battle with the Turks."

Fang Xuanling sneered and said, "But there is no doubt about one thing, that is..."

Li Jiancheng continued: "Sooner or later, we and the Turks will fight a decisive battle to the death."

Fang Xuanling said: "When is the decisive battle envisaged by His Majesty?"

Li Jiancheng crossed his arms and said, "Next year's autumn."

One thing, Li Jiancheng did not tell the truth.The war between Datang and Turks has already begun.

Chen Ying had already gone northward in secret. At this time, the Chen Ying who accompanied Li Xiuning in and out of Chang'an City and showed his face was actually Guo Bingxi.This Guo Bingxi is from Yangqu, Taiyuan. He looks very similar to Chen Ying, and his figure is almost the same.If He Yue'er's disguise technique is added, even Li Xiuning herself will have difficulty distinguishing the real from the fake.

When Chen Ying heard that Li Jiancheng had found him such a double that could be faked, he was very worried.Li Jiancheng was more thoughtful than Chen Ying. Now after Guo Bingxi was castrated, he served in Renshou Palace and served as the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Yang Gongren asked suspiciously: "Next year?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Yes, before the decisive battle, we must do everything possible to increase our strength."

Li Jing nodded and said: "At the same time, we will try our best to weaken the power of the Turks."

Li Jiancheng looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, you have read Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "Benefits lure them, disorderly take them, prepare them when they are real, avoid them when they are strong, scratch them when angry, scratch them when they are humble, work hard when they are lost, and leave them when they are close. Attack them Unprepared, unexpected..."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Yes, what we have to do now is to induce the Turkic army to take large-scale and incorrect military actions at the wrong time, wrong place, and in the wrong form."

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized, looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, and said, "We also contributed to the internal strife between Jieli and Tuli?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Tuli is the real heir of the Turkic Shibi Khan. The two Khans Chuluo and Jieli are both seizing the throne for themselves."

Fang Xuanling was stunned.

Li Jiancheng said: "The tooth tent of the Turkic king's court has long been quarreled with brothers. We just met by chance and pushed the boat along the way."

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Ye Zhiqiu?"

Fang Xuanling nodded hastily. It is impossible for Fang Xuanling not to know that Li Jiancheng is the chief of Baiqi and the second person under Changsun Wuji.

Fang Xuanling's face suddenly changed drastically. No wonder Li Shimin failed. Could it be that Ye Zhiqiu is Li Jiancheng's person?
Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "This person is an official of the former Qin Dynasty's palace. He was a Turk from Beitou. What this person learned is the same as Du Yan's, which is the school of Legalism."

As Li Jiancheng said, he looked at Fang Xuanling and smiled meaningfully.

In fact, not only Ye Zhiqiu and Du Yan, but also Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling are all learning from the legalist kings and tyrants! "

Some things are not convenient to announce.

That is, it was Chen Ying's instigation for Yu Wenhuaji to escape from Chang'an City after the defeat.His purpose was to divide the Eastern Turks. In fact, he not only divided the Turks, but also the Barbarian Khan of Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Wei Zhengdao: "It can be said that Ye Zhiqiu played a big role in the confrontation between Tuli and Xieli."

Li Jiancheng and the others looked at each other knowingly and smiled.

……

Mobei, in the tent of King Khan of East Turkic.

Xieli and Princess Yicheng sat facing each other on the wool felt, and on the lower head were envoys from various countries.On the huge carpet in the center of the king's tent, a dozen or so scantily clad Sasanian (Persian) beauties were singing songs and dancing passionately.

A Turkic special service messenger handed Xieli a roll of kraft paper.

Xieli opened the kraft paper to read.

Jieli put down the kraft paper, stared at the messenger with cold eyes and said, "Tuli actually went to Chang'an to lick Li Jiancheng's boots?"

Princess Yicheng noticed that Xieli's expression was unkind, so she asked, "What happened?"

Jieli said, "Tuli has gone to Chang'an!"

The messenger said with a look of sincerity and fear: "Reporting to Ke Dun, Li Jiancheng let Tuli be the king of Beiping County and stay in Youzhou.

Princess Yicheng was taken aback for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Khan, isn't that Luo Yi's title? The people of Tang are provoking."

In fact, Luo Yi did not rebel like history at this time, but replaced Xue Wanche as the chief executive of Jingzhou, and was still named King Yan, enjoying the princely title just like Du Fuwei.

When Li Jiancheng reduced the titles of the clan, he did not reduce Luo Yi and Du Fuwei. He wanted to form a rule that the Tang Dynasty could grant princes with different surnames.

Whether it is Du Fuwei or Luo Yi, it is just a name and has no real power.

With a ferocious expression on his face, Jieli twisted the kraft paper into twists and said, "Blow the horn and summon the special forces from all ministries."

Seeing Xieli's unkind expression, representatives of envoys from various ministries and countries left one after another.

After a short time, the envoys of various countries left, and the special services and sweats of various ministries came in.

Seeing that all the nobles had arrived, Jieli beat the sheepskin Dunzi with his scabbard murderously and said, "Tuli should be turned into horse dung and buried in the grass outside, instead of staying in Chang'an City. Wang. I want everyone to know what will happen if you betray me!"

Tujue Shehan said to Nishi: "Dear Khan, even the gods can feel your wrath. But the gods forgot to take away the drought and ice and snow. Half of our livestock have died of thirst and freezing. This is something that has never happened before."

Jieli angrily pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "The people of the Tang Dynasty are also suffering from drought, and they have no food, but their emperor is actually double-faced. Can we bear it? No matter who you are, you can offend the descendants of wolves?"

Zhi Shisi said forcefully: "Dear Khan, Tuli has already paid the price for his stupidity and betrayal. Now, he is like a wild wolf that has lost his eyes and teeth. We don't need to pay him an unnecessary price. .”

Xieli looked at everyone with red eyes.

Jieli beat Yangpi Dunzi with his scabbard angrily and said, "You blind mice, you only see the quails in the grass, but you can't see the eagles in the sky."

The elders looked at each other with ugly expressions.

Jieli continued: "The Great Tang is the greatest enemy of our Turks. All the tribes in the grassland don't need a strong Great Tang. When they were still in Taiyuan, even a wild dog could kill them, but now, they dare to protect them." Tuli. I made a stupid mistake a few years ago. Under the city of Chang’an, we Turkic people have pinched Datang’s throat. That’s when they were weakest, like a dying camel. Hit it hard with the back of a knife, and even if the camel does not die, it will never be able to run. However, Tuli betrayed Turkic, and he blinded me with lies."

Shu Nishi said: "Dear Khan, we have no objection to your war against the Tang Dynasty, but can we wait until next autumn?"

Jieli roared: "Your ears are not deaf, your eyes are not blind, Datang is right under our noses, from a flea to a tiger, they have carried out six consecutive national trials in five years. war, the number of troops wiped out is more than all of our Turkic people combined. If they are allowed to develop for another year, we Turkic people will never have the opportunity to surround Chang'an, or even cross the dilapidated road. Great Wall."

Zhi Shisi said forcefully: "However, no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, they only dare to hide inside the strong city walls."

Jieli brandished his saber and shouted: "This is what I, Jieli Khan, will do. What the Great Tang can do, the descendants of wolves on the grassland can do the same. Lord, the vast land of the Tang Dynasty is our future pasture; the prosperous people of the Tang Dynasty are our future slaves..."

Xieli sat on the tiger-skin couch and watched the Turkic elders walk out of the tooth tent.

Princess Yicheng watched the crowd leave the tooth tent with cold eyes, walked to Jieli alone and said, "Khan, what can we discuss with these old camels who only know how to bark?"

Jieli Khan glanced at Princess Yicheng and said, "My Ketun, a wolf can't kill a bison."

Princess Yicheng said: "Khan, I have a suggestion..."

Jieli looked at Princess Yicheng and said, "Speak!"

Princess Yicheng said: "Khan, we can select elite sons from each department. The number does not need to be large, 1 people are enough. I will take this army to bypass the pass closely guarded by the Tang army and go to Guanzhong to herd horses. "

Princess Yicheng became more and more excited as she spoke, and continued: "Guanzhong is the most important hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. When we go there, we will kill all the men, rob all the food, burn all the villages, and let the famine continue in the Tang Dynasty, so that they will never be able to get up again. "

Jieli sat on the tiger-skin couch, stroking his beard without saying a word.

Princess Yicheng patted her chest and said, "Khan, I'm willing to guarantee it with my head."

Jieli's eyes flickered, and he sighed after a long silence: "My Ke Dun, those guys are not lame old camels, they are all foxes. Foxes! Do you know?"

Princess Yicheng said, "Khan?"

Jieli gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "The tents of each of them are filled with silk and porcelain sent by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so they don't want to go to the south. My sons are bleeding, but they use blood , to make fine wine. They are waiting for me, when I am lame and blind, and then find a tame partridge to sit here in my place."

Princess Yicheng said: "Khan, whoever dares to stretch out his claws, I will cut it off with my own hands.

Jieli shook his head and said, "Tigers also doze off. You can't keep your eyes open all the time. You have to drive these old foxes to the south together to attack Chang'an, so that the emperor of Tang Dynasty can understand that these are a group of wild animals that you don't know well. Wolf. Do you understand?"
