Chapter 710 Chapter 729: Li Zhi really has miraculous effects

"This..." Chang Baiye was scolded by Li Zhi, and he immediately bowed his head and dared not speak. He did not expect that Li Zhi's temper is so bad today, and he is so angry when he speaks. This is still the usual weak personality. Prince?

Even Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi in astonishment, not knowing why Li Zhi was so angry, it was too abnormal, a little baffled, and the officials also felt baffled, and was a little confused for a while.

In fact, let alone them, even Li Zhi himself didn't know why he got angry, he only knew that Li Hao asked him to do this, saying that it had a miraculous effect.

"Just now! I just heard that everyone is against sending troops!" Li Zhi glanced gloomyly at the ministers, and asked in a cold voice, "Then please tell me why you are against sending troops to Tubo."

Those ministers who opposed sending troops looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words, but they didn't expect that Li Zhi would ask again, what's going on, the wind seems to be in the wrong direction.

Li Zhi saw that no one answered, so he called out his names and said, "Ruan Jijiu, tell me, why do you oppose sending troops to Tubo?"

Ruan Tongqing, Guozijian's sacrificial wine, hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "Go back to His Royal Highness, because I just finished fighting in Xitu in the Tang Dynasty..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, and then remembered that Chang Baiye had already mentioned this reason just now, and he was reprimanded by Li Zhi. In normal times, this reason is feasible, because a country should not use troops frequently, after all War is the source of disaster, it will cause the death of a large number of people, the loss of farmland, the consumption of supplies, etc., but the battle of destroying the Western Turks was so beautiful that it almost had no effect on Datang, and it lost [-] soldiers and horses That's all, Datang is now a strong army and a strong horse. If you want money and money, you need food and food. This usual reason is not valid.

Seeing Li Zhihu's face turned red, Ruan Tongqing's heart tightened, and he quickly began to think of other reasons, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with it, and kept hemming and hawing, which was very embarrassing.

Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Is there no reason?"

Ruan Tongqing really wanted to cry at this moment. He managed to sit in the seat of sacrificial wine and could go to the court hall. He didn't expect that he would be so ashamed in the Tai Chi Hall today. It was ashamed to be thrown at his grandma's house. , kowtowed and said: "The old minister is stupid, please punish your Majesty and Your Highness!"

"General Li Hao's words are true just now..." Li Zhihan said with a stern voice, "Among the halls of my Great Tang, there are really beasts eating meat, and corpses eating vegetarian meals!" When he said the last, he almost stared and shouted .

Now Li Zhi is really angry, these ministers made him angry, military affairs, national affairs, there is no reliable reason, so blindly follow the crowd to oppose, is this what a good minister should do, just pull it An illiterate farmer can do it. He can follow what other people say, and this person is actually the master Jijiu of the Imperial College who has read a lot of poetry and books. After all, Li Zhi is a prince and he cares about the country. not angry.

With Li Zhi's shout, all the ministers lowered their heads in fright, and the aura of the superior was fully revealed. They finally realized that this is the prince and the future emperor. Anger is also scary.

Ruan Tongqing prostrated on the ground, trembling all over. Although Li Shimin and Li Zhi didn't give him any punishment, it can be seen from Li Zhi's attitude that he won't be a sacrificial wine for long. , took him under the knife at the first time.

There is a saying called "one emperor, one courtier", which means that when those in power change, their subordinates will also change. This is an unbreakable truth for thousands of years. If there is a major personnel change, those who don't like it will be dismissed from office, beheaded, exiled, and then they will put those who they think are capable and trustworthy in important positions, which can be described in four words - drastic.

It is no secret that Li Shimin suffers from frequent attacks of heart disease. Fear of death will not be long. It will be a year or two before Li Zhi ascends the throne. Go home to farm or do business.

Li Shimin has been the emperor for a long time, and his temper and bottom line have been figured out by the ministers. These ministers bullied the old man and formed groups to trick Li Shimin.

Li Hao also discovered this, that's why he used Li Zhi as a dark horse to frighten them. You have figured out Li Shimin's temper, right? Then have you figured out Li Zhi's temper?
The answer is no, almost everyone ignores Li Zhi, thinking that Li Zhi is a cowardly persimmon, even Li Zhi's father Li Shimin thinks so.

It is precisely because everyone has ignored Li Zhi, and now that Li Zhi suddenly goes mad, everyone feels terrible. It is really scary for an honest person to get angry, not to mention that this is the future emperor, and this group of ministers will be under his hands in the future. It's still unknown whether he can survive the drastic changes after the new emperor ascended the throne.

The group of ministers who opposed sending troops suddenly complained and regretted.

Changsun Wuji turned his head secretly, and was very annoyed when he saw that everyone had remorse. He didn't expect that Li Zhi would be killed halfway, let alone that Li Zhi would have such a great influence. All of this was too abnormal. It doesn't fit Li Zhi's style at all.

As smart as the eldest grandson Wuji, now he naturally understands that Li Hao must have instigated Li Zhi to do this. He is very angry. The nephew he has been trying to win over is now helping outsiders to deal with him. Can he not be angry? He also helped him to conceal the matter of Wu Meiniang's pregnancy. For a moment, he really wanted to reveal this matter, and everyone came to a dead end. Fortunately, he was not dazzled by anger. The darkest court meeting since the founding of the country.

Changsun Wuji turned his head and glared at Li Hao, and Li Hao also turned his head to look at him, but Li Hao's face at the moment was neither happy nor sad, very indifferent, as if today's matter had nothing to do with him, Changsun Wuji looked Seeing Li Hao's calm appearance, his heart sank, and he finally realized that the current Li Hao, even in the struggle for power, has already surpassed him, an old fox.The reason why he opposed sending troops to Tubo was because he knew that if Tubo was attacked, Li Hao would definitely participate, and in all likelihood, Li Hao would be in command. The government has the highest say.

Li Hao's current status is on par with Changsun Wuji. If Li Hao is allowed to make great contributions, then Li Hao will step up to the sky and step on him firmly. At that time, he can only resign from office and go home to retire. He is not reconciled!
It is precisely because he was not reconciled that he fought so hard and gathered so many cronies to oppose sending troops to Tubo. Even if Li Shimin talked to him alone, he would go his own way and oppose sending troops regardless of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for many years. This made Li Shimin very disappointed. , Li Shimin also caused a heart attack for this.

Changsun Wuji gathered so many people to oppose him, but Li Haoqi was so clever that he only invited Li Zhi, and this one person shocked the audience. He was extremely brilliant, and Changsun Wuji hated him. The power of Li Hao happened to be missed by Li Hao.

Until now, Li Shimin has also discovered the miraculous effect of Li Zhi's appearance. He can see that many of the ministers who originally opposed it seem to have regretted it. He is so smart that he knows how to use Li Zhi as a surprise soldier. If he knew it earlier, why would he ask him to do it, and just tell his son himself.

This opportunity must not be missed, Li Shimin said with a dignified face at this time: "I am so disappointed by you, you oppose sending troops to Tubo, but you can't explain why. Do you work for the benefit of the people?"

All the officials listened to the training with their heads bowed, like a group of elementary school students being scolded. Although Li Shimin was angry at their behavior, the matter of sending troops is the most important thing right now. Li Zhi will take drastic solutions in the future and use it to frighten the officials, which is also very good.

So he continued to say with a stern face: "I'll ask again, do you have any objections to sending troops to Tubo, if you have no objections, please return to the queue!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials standing outside the queue raised their heads secretly, you look at me, I look at you.

Seeing this, Li Zhi frowned, and asked loudly, "Look at what other people are doing? You don't know how to repent, and you still follow the crowd like this!"

Li Zhi's scolding was really effective. Those ministers quickly returned to the team in despair. In an instant, there were only seven people left outside the queue. These people were still relatively tenacious and still insisted on opposing sending troops. They had one thing in common, they were all powerful families man of.

Li Shimin looked at these people and asked, "Okay, now please tell me your opinions!"

Li Changrong, Minister of Honglu Temple, clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although Tubo lost 15 horses because of its invasion of the Tang Dynasty the year before last, after two years of recuperation, it has regained its vitality and has nearly 30 troops. To conquer them, we can only use the soldiers of Qinghai Guards, although Your Majesty has added [-] troops to Qinghai Guards, but only [-], how can we conquer Tubo and send troops, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

The other seven people also seconded their opinions one after another, meaning that they all had this point of view, and they didn't bother to think about other reasons, because other reasons were also untenable, but this reason was convincing.

Li Shimin slowly twisted his beard after listening to it: "Well, Li Siqing's words are reasonable, Shi Kuang, you are the general of Tiance House, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Hao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, soldiers are valuable, not too many, otherwise, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they will just waste food and pay."

Li Shimin said: "I also understand this reason, but there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, can you be sure?"

Li Haodao: "Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. If you give me 16 soldiers and horses, you can guarantee that Tubo will be captured by hand. If you give [-] soldiers and horses, you are only [-]% sure!"

"30% sure!" All the ministers exclaimed when they heard the words, [-] against [-], there is still [-]% sure, this bullshit is loud enough.
