Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 429

After Zhang Xuansu's persuasion, Wei Zheng finally agreed to accept the appointment and dismissal of the prince and grand teacher.

And Wei Zheng, the most famous in the court, was appointed as the prince and grand teacher, at least it calmed down the civil and military officials in the court who thought they would abolish the prince.

Because Li Shimin has proved with facts that he has no intention of changing the prince for the time being, this is enough to calm the court.

Of course, in this storm that was about to abolish the prince, Li Tai obediently repaired his Vientiane Shrine, and did not intend to join forces with his officials to exert force on Li Shimin. He dealt with the wanton words of his subordinates more seriously, which made Li Shimin more satisfied.

So as the turmoil passed, Li Shimin asked Li Tai to participate in political affairs more and more.

As for the Vientiane Shrine that is being built, that is Wang Zhenru's business. Li Tai can only ask about the progress every month because he is concerned.

After all, for Li Tai, the establishment of the Vientiane Shrine is a way for him to control the power of the Ministry of Industry. After the construction of the Vientiane Shrine is completed, he will be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the Ministry of Industry.

At that time, the Ministry of Industry will not be able to restrain itself in what it wants to do.

However, as Li Tai participated in more and more government affairs, Li Chengqian also followed Li Tai to participate in government affairs at the beginning.

Therefore, Li Shimin said: "Beidi's multilateral troubles, especially the rise of Xue Yantuo, we will be prepared.

Today, Li Shimin raised a topic, "In order to escape corvee, people often hurt themselves. What do you think?"

If it weren't for the sake of his exhausting efforts to build the Vientiane Shrine, he must have talked about it.

Just leave as soon as you say leave, nothing will happen?

Otherwise, if they follow normal people, their working speed will be a drag on normal people's working speed. "

"What else is going on today?" Li Shimin asked the important ministers attending the court meeting.

And compared to the west of the Western Regions, which he knew nothing about, Li Shimin was more interested in finding an opportunity to bury Goguryeo.

"Bilus, this is not the first time we have met, just call me King Wei!"

The minister suggested that if someone injures himself, he should be punished according to the law and serve in the military anyway, so as to cut off this trend! "

Therefore, I believe that this matter can be carefully considered, and we have plenty of time! "

"The Grass Seed Project wants to be developed, even if there is an intentional push from the imperial court, it will take at least three to five years to be regarded as initial maturity." Li Tai said, "So it is better not to start a war if it can be avoided in a short period of time. "

Seeing that his old partner finally stood up, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, and took a hard look at Li Tai. He really didn't have any tacit understanding with him.

Li Tai left with Gao Jifu, brought his personal guards to Honglu Temple, and soon met Belus.

After all, the current Goguryeo ministers are strong and the ruler is weak, and there are already some signs of turmoil.

"Enough guides?!" Belus heard Li Tai's words, and Chen Ken said, "I follow your suggestion and plan to build a semi-permanent embassy in Chang'an, so that we can get assistance from Datang at any time.

Gao Jifu looked at Li Tai with some doubts on his face, but he still honestly passed on the message of Belus.

Reluctantly, Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "China is newly established, the soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, and I think peace with relatives is the most important thing!"

Regarding this, the whole court didn't care. After all, Li Chengqian hadn't come up with any effective suggestions all the time. Without Li Chengqian's criticism, at least the discussion process would be a little faster.

Gao Jifu nodded and said, "Wei Wang please!"

But for Datang, it was not ripe to kill Xue Yantuo at this time, at least Xue Yantuo wanted to run to the north, so it was impossible for Datang to follow them to the extreme north.

Under such circumstances, Li Tai'an quietly closed his mouth, watching the courtiers quarrel.

Among them, there are at least 50 qualified guides! "

Gao Jifu nodded when he heard Li Tai's words. After all, he had worked under Wang Zhenru when he was in Youzhou, so he somehow knew the true ability of Wang Zhenru, who had been following King Wei and was not well-known.

At most, I just don't know when this conflict will break out, but I can be sure that the time will not exceed three years.

Is there really no way to send an army to our aid?We, Sassan, are fully capable of supplying Datang's grain and grass! "

Especially when the word "heaven" comes out of my mouth, history books will definitely mark me down in the future, saying that I am a peacemaker, how embarrassing myself!
Anyway, playing football, I am a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I don't understand Xue Yantuo of Bingzhou, how normal is this!
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai who had only come to the court for a few days, so he had mastered the skills of kicking the ball, not to mention that he hadn't learned the skills.

After all, the longer he delays his grass planting plan in the frontier, the more effective it will be.

Li Tai knew in his heart that there were two types of court marriages, one was married to a court lady, and the other was married to a clan girl.

Li Tai was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and smiled wryly, "Qing Que originally thought he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this matter has nothing to do with Erchen, so he was dumbfounded."

However, Li Shiji calmly said: "The Hu people were seriously injured in the battle of Nuo Zhenshui, and they know that I am a powerful Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that they chose to get married.

When Li Tai said this, he paused slightly and said, "However, just because Datang doesn't send troops, doesn't mean that we, Datang, can't help you!"

Li Shimin also asked Li Tai, "Qing Que, if you don't send a glance, do you already have a draft in your heart?"

So the caravan that came to Datang this time has more than 500 people, and these people have at least walked this road with me!

"Then let me tell you what you think!" Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Tai's words, thinking that he was his son, so he would give some hints, and said, "After all, your grass seed plan is to deal with Xue Yantuo of."

Fang Xuanling stood up to speak, generally speaking, unless Du Ruhui or Wei Zheng stood up to clearly oppose, basically Fang Xuanling's decision was the decision of the entire court, so the entire court suddenly fell silent.

But after a long time, Li Chengqian couldn't take it anymore, and he still fished for two days and dried the net for three days.

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Cen Wenwen, the servant, stood up and said,

But now I am only the king of Wei, so don't do things beyond my full responsibility.

From Gao Jifu's point of view, even if there is any relationship between Li Tai and the Persian envoy from Belus, it is not a big deal after all.

"It's about the Persian envoy Belus. He heard that King Wei came to Chang'an, so he asked to meet you."

"Huh?!" Belus was overjoyed when he heard Li Tai's words, and said, "I knew, King Wei, you would become Sassan's best friend!"

Li Tai couldn't help getting goosebumps when he heard what Belus said, and said,
"Sit down and chat slowly. I think after you came to Datang last time, you should know that Datang is too far away from Persia. It's not that we don't want to help, but it's really difficult to help!"

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Li Shimin, no one in the court will believe you are so reluctant!

Li Tai looked at Gao Jifu, but smiled calmly and said, "After all, you know his ability to dispatch workers!"

"The distance is really too far!" Li Tai shook his head, and said to Belus: "The Western Region is the limit of the current Datang army, and the Western Region is newly established, there must be a lot of chaos around, and it is impossible for the Great Tang to send troops. To Persia, far away."

Under such circumstances, getting married is also a good choice.

Qingque had a proposal, whether the imperial court could set up a special camp with the state as a unit, gather the disabled to serve in the army, and give them a unified corvee.

Hearing this, the people present discussed one after another, but basically the generals were in favor of the crusade, and the civil officials were in favor of the marriage.

Compared with this one called Sheberus, it was Xue Yantuo who attracted Li Shimin's attention more.

"The Persian envoy took good care of him. Don't lose my Tang etiquette. As for asking for help, let's talk about it separately!"

"Ji Fu, what do you want from me?" Li Tai looked at Gao Jifu and asked in doubt.

"King Wei, now that the Great Tang has defeated Gaochang, it has shocked the entire Western Regions, and the surrounding Tocharian Turks and other forces dare not move lightly.

Or should they marry each other and adopt detention to ensure the peace of the border for 20 years. Which of these two strategies should we choose? "

After all, there is at least one Western Region between Persia and Datang, and even more seriously, Western Turks.

Li Shiji glanced at Li Tai, his eyes seemed to contain pride, contempt, self-confidence... all kinds of emotions were extremely complicated.

For Li Tai, he also prefers to be close.

Obviously, after being beaten by the Tang Dynasty, especially Li Shiji directly promoted the six thousand troops from the sole of one talent to the pinnacle of two talents, and even seemed to be able to grow further by killing an opponent, Xue Yantuo was really frightened.

At this moment, Li Shimin said affectionately: "Of course. I am the parents of the people, so I can benefit from it, how can I love a daughter!"

Looking at himself who seemed indifferent, Li Tai felt that he was still a bit out of place with this Tang Dynasty!
Soon after the court meeting ended, Gao Jifu approached Li Tai who was going back to continue building the Vientiane Shrine.

"I obey the order!" Cen Wenwen replied respectfully to Li Shimin when he heard Li Shimin's order.

Li Tai looked at Belus and said with a serious expression: "It is very difficult to directly ask Datang to send soldiers to rescue, but if you have enough guides in your line, it will be different."

Under such circumstances, Li Tai didn't think it was a good idea to send troops to conquer at this time. To some extent, what if all the soldiers were dispatched and they rebelled in the end.

Li Tai looked at the courtiers around him, all with tears in their eyes, unable to contain their excitement, he could only dance to express Li Shimin's contribution and sacrifice for the peace of the frontier.

"I have seen Prince Wei of Tang Dynasty." Belus saluted Li Tai with Persian etiquette.

If you are in power, then you will naturally be violent with materials, and 20 shield guards will push across the grassland. No matter what place you go to the extreme north, as long as you can't swim in the Arctic Ocean, you will die.

However, I don't participate much in this kind of diplomatic affairs, and I have no reason to participate as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Qing thought that they selected a large army of [-] to destroy the country and kill the clan and capture the enemy chiefs.

The second is time. To be honest, Li Tai felt that the current situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Li Chengqian, and he even found that Hou Junji went to Li Chengqian's East Palace suddenly more often.

"This is a relic of the Sui Dynasty. The common people even call it 'Fushou' and 'Fuzu'. It has been 16 years since Zhenguan, and this tradition has not stopped.

It was decided that Li Tai would not say it out of his own mouth anyway, just kidding, he should bear historical responsibility for what he said, okay?

During this period, just recharge your batteries and wait, there is no need to be distracted by the affairs of the Western Regions.

Hearing this, Li Tai thought for a while, stood up and added, "Cen Shizhong's opinion is naturally excellent.

With Nuo Zhenshui in the first battle, the Hu people could not organize a large-scale army to invade the frontier in a short time.

"Won't the king of Wei go to the Vientiane Shrine?" Gao Jifu was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words. Is there such a free time to build a palace for a saint?

"Wang Zhenru is better at building the Vientiane Shrine than I am, and I'm just his human skin seal."

Li Shimin waved his hand. In a short period of time, the control range that Datang could reach was only around the Western Regions. Li Shimin knew this very well. No matter how far he wanted to reach, Datang's hand might be broken.

"I have something to do!" Gao Jifu stood up and said, "Xue Yantuo sent an envoy Sha Boluo to our Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and asked Princess Shang and the Persian envoy Belus to come to our Tang Dynasty again for help."

Belus sat down when he heard Li Tai's words, took a sip of Datang's tea and raised his spirits, and said,

Li Tai's words, said here, looking at Li Shiji, who is also counting ants on the ground, and said,
"The Minister of the Ministry of War is familiar with Bingzhou affairs and even fought against Xue Yantuo. I believe that the Minister of the Ministry of War is more familiar with Xue Yantuo than Qingque."

Think about how the two of them would join forces in history. As for when the rebellion occurred and how it was wiped out by Li Shimin, anyway, Li Tai is not very clear about the details, but it should come sooner and sooner.

But it is conceivable that Li Shiji is also like Li Tai, who is in court, who can't play football anymore!
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai, and then at Li Shiji. If one hadn't been brilliant in battle and the other was an expert in making money, he really wanted to optimize these two guys who played football in the court.

Under such circumstances, don't say that King Wei will not betray the country, even if he wants to sell the country, he will not be able to sell it for any price!
"Oh?" Li Tai couldn't help being stunned when he heard Gao Jifu's words, and said, "Is he in Honglu Temple? If he is, there will be nothing wrong in the afternoon, so please ask Jifu to lead the way!"

Li Shimin glanced at the calm Li Tai, and understood in his heart that Li Tai definitely supported the delay because of the grass seed project, and Li Shimin also wanted to support the marriage because he patiently waited for Goguryeo to make mistakes.

"That's a good addition!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, "Follow this example."

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Belus is really knowledgeable.

Because it’s really not that a person can be regarded as a guide by walking a certain road, especially when passing through the deserts of the Western Regions, who is there, when is there sandstorm, and even what to do when encountering sandstorm...

In this era, it is really not easier to train a qualified guide than to train a captain who knows how to command.

"If so, I can give it a try and find some help for you!" Li Tai patted Belus on the shoulder, showing a big smile, and said sincerely, "Who made us friends!"
