Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty, I think that although His Majesty King Yue's proposal is good, it is really an unnecessary move. First, our army is in a state of panic and invincible. Second, there are many generals in the army. How can we use them? In other words, therefore, I think His Royal Highness the King of Yue's proposal is a little thoughtless." Amidst the silence, Shangcheng Fengyu and Xiangyang County Duke Du He stood up and objected loudly.

Du He, the son of the famous official Du Ruhui, who married Princess Chengyang, the sixteenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was the captain's son-in-law. The mid-level officials all said that Chen Lizhen's proposal was inappropriate, and what's more, they said that Li Zhen's proposal was a sensationalist, which would harm the normal promotion of the generals in the army. The crowd, on the other hand, are all members of the Prince's lineage, and they were buzzing with excitement. Seeing the Prince's quarrel with Li Tai and Li Zhen, the big guys cheered up and waited. It's a good show.

*** Boss, I finally couldn't help jumping out, damn it, it's okay, it's not bad to take this opportunity to cut your face.Although Li Zhen was kneeling in front of the hall, hearing those voices of opposition getting louder and louder, she didn't speak out to refute this, but just knelt quietly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Li Zhen could bear it, but Li Taike couldn't bear it any longer. Hearing those noisy nonsense, he couldn't hold back his energy immediately, raised his head, and said in a high voice: "Father, don't listen to those crazy words, such people I can't lift my shoulders, I can't lift my hands, I'm not proficient in writing, I don't know martial arts. I have never had any experience. It's just a noise. My father and my son think that the eighth brother has a deep understanding of military strategy and has experienced wars. His words must be true. Father, please see "Except for the eighth younger brother, among the military officers in the palace today, there has never been anyone under fifty, and if things go on like this, how can we feel so bad for the Tang Dynasty! I hope my father will learn from me!"

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, Qin Wenwen immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what the King of Wei said is very true. This is a matter related to the great cause of the Great Tang Dynasty. I must not ignore it. I hope the Holy One will see it clearly!"

Alright, this time it's all right, after Qin Wenwen said a word, more than [-] courtiers, including the captain-in-law Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, Huangmen servant Du Chuke, etc., immediately stood up, all of whom were cheering for Li Tai, huh, this time is interesting Now, the crown prince and Li Tai are facing each other head-on, and Li Zhen, who is the master, has become a spectator instead.

A spectator is a spectator, but Li Zhen doesn't care, there is no one else, Li Zhen doesn't care who wins or loses between the prince and Li Tai, and Li Zhen doesn't even care if this book can pass the court council, as long as the prince and Li Tai When Tai made a fuss, Li Zhen's goal was achieved—as long as Li Tai was involved, the crown prince would not be able to block Li Zhen with all his strength. In this way, Li Zhen's position as the Minister of the Ministry of War would be considered safe for the time being. Even if there were some small disturbances, Li Zhen wouldn't care too much about it.

Not to mention Li Tai's large number of people, and Qin Wenwen, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, far surpassed the people of the prince's line in terms of momentum and official position.Seeing that he was about to lose the battle, the prince was really in a hurry—he originally wanted to suppress Li Zhen, but he didn't expect to provoke Li Tai. He went out in person, but Li Chengqian was a bit self-aware, knowing that he had no military skills at all, how could he say anything, so he had no choice but to make eye contact with Li Ke, the king of Wu, but he never thought of flirting with him in front of him At this moment, Li Ke actually pretended to be a wooden man, not to mention a smile, but even an expression. Li Chengqian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and scolded Li Ke in his heart. In desperation, he had to change his gestures. Change the destination and give Hou Junji a password.

Why didn't Hou Junji know that the crown prince was in a hurry, but he didn't think the matter was so simple. In his opinion, if he rashly clashed with Li Tai at this moment, it would be nothing but Li Zhen, who started making a cocoon, for nothing. Why don't you show your face, but you can't bear the prince's urging, so you have no choice but to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought that since ancient times, only generals can be produced on the battlefield, so why did the imperial examinations produce generals? It can be said that there are no generals available, but after the battle in Shuozhou, there are not a few young generals who have emerged, so I think that the strategy offered by the king of Yue is really just a talk on paper, and it is not true."

Although Hou Junji is now an idle military general, his combat achievements can be regarded as high among the court generals. When he said this, the whole hall suddenly fell silent. Most of Qin Wenwen and others were civil servants. Martial arts is naturally not as convincing as Hou Junji's words. Moreover, when he heard that Hou Junji's words were biting Li Zhen, but he never mentioned Li Tai, he immediately understood, and stopped showing off, filling the hall It fell silent immediately, everyone's attention was focused on Li Zhen, and they all wanted to hear how Li Zhen explained.

***Old Hou, I owe you what I owe, every time you are the son of a bitch who comes out to make trouble!As soon as Li Zhen heard Hou Junji's words, she knew that things were about to change, and she was immediately angry and hated, but in this court, Li Zhen really couldn't do anything about Hou Junji, and she planned to continue to pretend to be stupid, but unfortunately After a while, the old man also became interested, and wanted to hear what Li Zhen had to say, no, Li Zhen was still cursing Hou Junji secretly, and the old man said: "Zhen'er, tell me, there are generals and imperial examinations on the battlefield. How about a general?"

Hey, it looks like it's impossible to pretend to be stupid, mother, if we don't show our skills, we really don't know what to do with me!Li Zhen had already made up her mind, and she had already thought through everything she should have thought about in order to make up this book. Now, upon hearing the old man's words, Li Zhen knelt up straight in a calm manner, Respectfully replied: "Responding to the words of my father, I think that what Lord Hou said is true, but it is not comprehensive. There are generals in the battlefield, but if the peace is long, where should the generals come from? You can't wait until the time comes. If there is any trouble, just go around and catch the blind again. Therefore, I think that it is true that generals can be produced on the battlefield, but talents can be produced through the imperial examination. Anyone who can pass the imperial examination is always talented. With hard work, you may be able to become a talent. If so, even in the day of peace, the court can still have a talent reserve, which is better than randomly pointing to the future when there is a war. The minister here is superficial, and I hope my father will make a clear decision. "

The logic of Li Zhen's words was clear, not only the courtiers nodded, even Li Shimin smiled. To be honest, Li Shimin is a hero of a generation, not unaware of the problem of age gap in the future, but also understand Nowadays, there may be some problems in the military system of the Tang Dynasty, and I also want to solve them, but I can't take care of them for a while. Li Zhen's military strategy is actually very much in line with Li Shimin's wishes. Fan, besides being prudent, I also want to see how Li Zhen will deal with the different opinions of the important ministers in the court. At this time, seeing Li Zhen speak clearly and logically, Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I will accept this offer." Now, since you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, I will leave this matter to you, and I will give you the order later."

Dizzy, why did this matter fall on us? Damn it, I’m busy this time! When Li Zhen heard that Li Shimin put the matter of the imperial examination on her own head, she felt a little bit bitter in her heart—originally according to Li Shimin’s In Zhen's mind, this imperial examination is the work of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War is just cooperating. Besides, there is still Mr. Su in the Ministry of War, so this matter has nothing to do with me, but the old man has already opened a gold medal. It was impossible to refuse, so Li Zhen had no choice but to kowtow and said: "I thank my father, Huang Hongen."

The old man has already stated his position, and the matter has come to an end. Even if some courtiers still have dissatisfaction in their hearts, they don't have the courage to stand up and say "no" right now. His eyes flicked back and forth between Li Zhen and Li Tai, his expression was terribly gloomy, and he wished he could rush forward and slash these two bastard brothers with a knife.

A court meeting was disturbed by this drama, and all the civil and military officials in the court had no intention of discussing matters. They discussed trivial matters hastily for a while, and it was almost noon. In Gao Yao's voice of "retiring from the court", he turned and walked into the harem. The 16th year of Zhenguan's court meeting was over here, and all the courtiers withdrew from the Taiji Hall in groups of three or four.

"Eighth brother, my brother is very angry today. Let's go to Wanhualou for a drink. My brother is doing business." Li Tai, who was in a good mood just after the court, walked up to Li Zhen with a smile, very affectionately. He said hello, but ignored that the prince was looking at Li Zhen angrily.

"Why, the fourth brother wants to do something? That's a good thing, the third brother's alcohol addiction has also started, can we go together?" Before Li Zhen could answer, the third brother Li Ke came over with a smile on his face. Hehe said.

"Hahaha..., okay, let's go together, let's go." Li Tai didn't care whether Li Zhen agreed, he waved his hands and laughed, and Li Chengqian, who was already blue with anger, couldn't bear it anymore. , waved his big sleeves bitterly, and cursed: "A group of villains!" Surrounded by eunuchs and eunuchs, he limped and turned into the harem.

Li Chengqian cursed loudly when he was about to leave, despite the noise around him, the three brothers who surrounded him could still hear them clearly, but their reactions were quite different—Li Zhen didn’t care, anyway, he is now Li Zhen, who was scolded and not scolded, didn't care at all; the youngest was very scheming, pretending not to hear, but there was a flash of anger in his eyes; Li Tai quit, his forehead The upper veins bulged, glaring angrily at the direction where the prince left, gritted his teeth and hated, but he didn't yell at him because he was worried that this place was the court, so he didn't yell at him. After his face turned pale for a while, he suddenly waved his hand and said: " Let's go, have a good drink, and get rid of the filth!" As soon as the voice fell, he went outside the hall on his own...
