Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

291 Three Years
"Smart, decisive, yes, yes, indeed a rare talent!" Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "Then when do you think you can attack Goguryeo?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the officials in Liaodong don't know, and Baekje will have to recuperate for at least three years before sending troops!"

"Three years!" Li Zhi couldn't see any joy or anger on his face: "Do you think it will take such a long time?"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo answered very firmly. On this issue, the entire Xiongjin Governor's Mansion has a consensus. Even the emperor cannot completely ignore the opinions of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion. Don't worry about annoying Li Zhi.

"Tell me why!"

"Counting from the fifth year of Xianqing, the Baekje rebellion lasted for a total of three years. Not to mention the casualties of young and strong women and children, public and private storages were basically empty. When the rebels besieged the city, a mouse in Sibi City could be sold for fifty or sixty yuan. A piece of meat is good. As the saying goes, three years of plowing and one year of storage, if you want to use troops against Goguryeo, even if the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion only needs to be able to contain the effect, you must have at least one year of food storage, right?"

"A mouse in Sibi City can sell fifty or sixty pieces of meat?" Li Zhi couldn't help sighing when he heard this: "Then Wang Aiqing, were you also in the city at that time?"

"At that time, Weichen led the army and was not in the city. This is what a fellow villager said!"

"En!" Li Zhi nodded, his expression became more solemn: "I understand what Wang Aiqing means, do you have anything else to say?"

"My minister thought that if he wanted to send troops to Goguryeo first, he must first relieve his worries!"

"Oh, worries about the future?" Li Zhi asked, "What worries about the future? Hasn't the Baekje Rebellion subsided?"

"Your Majesty, the war in Baekje has indeed subsided, but the brothers Fuyu Fengzhang are still there. When they fled to Japan, there were still more than ten thousand people with them. As long as their brothers are not eliminated, Baekje will not be able to relieve its worries for a day!"

"Brother Fuyu Fengzhang is really troublesome!" Li Zhi frowned slightly, he looked at Jin Renwen, Jin Renwen nodded slightly, and the emperor nodded slightly: "However, if you want to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to do it .”

"Your Majesty, there is no need to send troops to the Wa Kingdom to deal with Brother Fuyu Fengzhang!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Just one envoy is needed, and the Wa Kingdom can present the heads of the two thieves!"

"Oh?" Li Zhi looked at the young man in front of him again with great interest. Obviously, the other party was recommending himself. Although he thought it was a bit exaggerated, it would not hurt to listen to it: "Wang Aiqing, what strategy do you have!"

"My minister complies with the decree!" Wang Wenzuo bowed and bowed, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "A little opinion, please read it, Your Majesty!"

Li Zhi took the piece of paper from the eunuch, and when he took a rough look at it, he felt a little unhappy. It turned out that Li Zhi was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he liked calligraphy very much. Thin and hard, or strong and round, or crisp and straight, or strong, there are many people in the world.But Wang Wenzuo didn't have a trustworthy secretary by his side. This strategy was written by himself. At best, it was just a correct handwriting. In Li Zhi's eyes, it was as if an old gourmet who was used to delicious food suddenly presented him with a piece of paper. Bowl of rotten rice, I can only bear to watch it.

After reading two lines, Li Zhi's brows relaxed, he completely forgot the handwriting, and asked: "Wang Aiqing, what you wrote on it is the truth?"

"Your Majesty, the source of every sentence on the Weichen is marked, whether it is confirmed by many people, or it comes from someone's mouth, or the Weichen speculates, all of which are marked."

"Oh?" Li Zhi heard the words and took a closer look. Sure enough, Wang Wenzuo's memorandum was different from the documents he usually saw. Every time he said something, he had to write the source of the news with a red pen. Emptiness, since the death of the previous Japanese king, the prince Zhongda took charge of the government, attacked and killed the prince Yuma, and there were many complaints in the court." And after this sentence, use a Chinese ink pen to indicate that this matter is from Shoujun Oishi and Monobe Lian Xiong and other six or seven Japanese and Baekje people learned from the people and confirmed each other, the credibility is very high.And later Wang Wenzuo said, "The Japanese believe in gods, and women who teach the gods can also be kings. The sister of Prince Youjian, Princess Qiyu, is the chief maiden of Amaterasu Shrine. The prince has revenge for killing his brother, so he can take advantage of it." After this sentence, it is indicated that it is Wang Wenzuo's own speculation, which is much less credible.

At the beginning, Li Zhi felt that the article was lacking in literary talent, and the handwriting was clumsy, which was simply eye-catching.But gradually, I felt the beauty of it. Although the memorials sent up on weekdays are all brilliant in writing and meaningful in handwriting, they can only draw conclusions, at most one reason, and then draw a conclusion, such as a flood in a certain place, and this year’s harvest is in short supply. , ask for this year's rent adjustment reduction or exemption; or next year to attack Tubo, ask for the construction of a number of military stations, and ask the court to allocate how much food.But the article in front of me is much more detailed. Each piece of information clearly states the source, credibility, and then the reasons for what it claims to do, and so on. It's much easier to make decisions.

"Ouch!"

Li Zhi was watching happily, and suddenly felt dizzy, and his temples were throbbing, and he couldn't help but screamed.Before Wang Wenzuo understood what happened, he saw a beautiful woman in a water-red jacket and a dark green silk skirt rushing out from behind the screen, supported Li Zhi and said, "Pheasant slave, how are you? Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?"

"My minister pays homage to Her Majesty the Empress!"

Seeing Jin Ren asking to bow down, Wang Wenzuo knelt down too in a hurry, thinking to himself: "Could this woman be the only female emperor in Chinese history?"

"It's nothing, there's no need to tell the imperial doctor. I was just a little excited, and I'm much better!" Li Zhi patted the back of his wife's hand twice, and said with a smile: "A Wu, look at this memorial, it's the first time I've seen such a thing." Although the writing of the memorandum is ugly, it is well-organized and handles things properly, Wang Canjun is really a rare talent!"

"Yeah!" Wu looked at it and said with a smile: "Is it written by the person behind General Renshou? The handwriting is indeed quite ugly. If you let him test Mingjing or something, he will definitely be rejected by the examiner at the first pass." .But he is a strong and sharp general, with a bow and spear in both hands, so what if his handwriting is poor? If your majesty asks him to draft an imperial edict and whitewash the peace, it will not work, but let him calm down the barbarians and show off the power of foreign lands. Wouldn't it be best?"

"Not bad, not bad!" Li Zhizhang smiled and said, "Wang Aiqing, since that's the case, I'll leave it to you to deal with Brother Fuyu Fengzhang!"

"My minister complies with the order!" Wang Wenzuo forced himself to suppress the excitement in his chest, and said loudly on the ground.

"According to my palace, your Majesty, you are still a bit stingy!" Wu said with a smile.
