My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 10 Tai Chi Palace
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe at this time, and his imposing manner was very majestic, but his expression was very complicated.

He looked at Wei Zheng and sighed:

"Wei Shangshu, but it's okay to say."

Li Shimin actually had other plans, which were preempted by Wei Zheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wei Zheng made a salute, then opened the memorial, and what he said was exactly the matter of sending down the edict of guilt.

In fact, he has been preparing for the book for a long time, but because of various accidents, it has been delayed until now.

Originally, he planned to win over Fang Xuanling, but now he can only rely on himself.

Then, Wei Zheng talked about the various benefits of sending down the Edict of Guilt.

At the same time, among the government and the opposition, there were also many ministers who agreed, Cai Guogong Du Ruhui, Zhao Guogong Sun Wuji and others all spoke out in favor of Wei Zheng's memorial.

Only Fang Xuanling stood in the corner, without saying anything, with his eyes lightly closed.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to issue an imperial edict for the sake of the people of the world!" After Wei Zheng told the edict, he asked again, but Li Shimin still did not respond.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, there was no tension in his eyes, only calm like Yuanhai.

Wei Zheng swallowed silently, and suddenly felt like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders!
After a while, waiting for Wei Zheng to break out in a cold sweat, Li Shimin said slowly:

"Wei Shangshu, I have adopted many of your opinions, but this time, I will not issue an edict of guilt."

"Your Majesty? Why?" Wei Zheng raised his head, his face full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, all the emperors of all dynasties have done this. Sending an edict of guilt will only make the people think that Your Majesty is a wise king with a heart for the world." Changsun Wuji said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, please think twice before acting!" Du Ruhui also persuaded.

From their point of view, Li Shimin's decree of sin against himself is a move that has no harm at all.

It can not only show His Majesty's image as a wise king, but also stabilize the hearts of the people. Why did His Majesty refuse?

"It's snowing heavily in Guanzhong, the further north you go, the more serious the damage will be."

"Everyone, do you still remember the matter that I ordered someone to go to the Turkic leader to investigate a few days ago?"

Li Shimin looked calm, did not answer the three people's questions, but talked about what happened a few days ago.

Investigate the Turkic collar?
Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately remembered this event that caused a sensation in the court and the public.

At the beginning, they also had a lot of speculation about His Majesty's purpose, but the matter did not follow up, so they put it down for the time being.

There is a feud between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks, and His Majesty sent people to investigate on a whim, which seems to make sense.

And now, why does His Majesty bring up this matter again?

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he said in horror: "Your Majesty, you want it!"

He didn't dare to say any more, because he was frightened himself.

The customs are still suffering from snowstorms, and millions of people are in dire straits. This idea is too crazy!
"Auxiliary machine, you really understand me!"

Li Shimin looked at the stunned eldest grandson Wuji, with approval in his eyes, and said loudly:

"That's right, I plan to send troops in a month's time to conquer the Eastern Turks and avenge the Wei River!"

"It's snowing heavily in Guanzhong, and the Turkic leaders are even frozen for thousands of miles, and the people have to change their children to eat!"

"As long as we send troops to the north, within ten days, the Turks can be broken!"

Within ten days, the Turks can be broken with a flick of a finger! ?

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the entire Taiji Hall was silent, and the wind could be heard!

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and many people even felt a rush of blood rushing to their hearts!

"Your Majesty, I ask you to lead the army. Give me [-] soldiers and horses. Within a month, the Turks will be destroyed!"

A man with a majestic expression and a murderous look stepped out and broke the silence. It was the military god of the Tang Dynasty——Li Jing!
"Your Majesty, I request to go to war!"

"Your Majesty, tell me, Old Cheng, to bring over the head of that fellow Jie Li!"

Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other generals also stood up one after another, their expressions excited.

Li Shimin's words have completely ignited the flames of war in their hearts!

The Weishui alliance back then was not only a thorn in Li Shimin's heart, but also a thorn in the heart of the entire Tang Dynasty!
But all the citizens of Tang Dynasty do not want to take revenge!

Seeing everyone's expressions of excitement, astonishment and excitement, Li Shimin stood in the first place, and while he was calm, he was also a little secretly happy.

As expected of a man of gods in the world——what Mr. Wang said was really extraordinary!

After these guys heard this, their reactions were even bigger than their original self!

Sure enough, it's not that I haven't seen the world, but that the prince's resourcefulness is close to that of a saint!

"Wait a minute! I have something to say!"

Although he knew the time was wrong, Changsun Wuji still stood up bravely and asked loudly.

Because, this battle really cannot be fought!

After finishing speaking, the scene was quiet for a while, Changsun Wuji saw this, and without waiting for Li Shimin to nod, he immediately continued:
"Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Officials, the disaster in the customs has been severe, and the grain storage in the major granaries has long been insufficient, and it can only last for a month at most."

"If you count the cases where people are filling their pockets and selling government food privately, the situation will be even worse!"

"Now, even if we adjust grain from Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and other places, we can only maintain the situation."

"At present, Datang simply doesn't have enough food to support a war of annihilation!"

"If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, it will be the foundation of the Great Tang Dynasty for thousands of years!"

Even if he was going to be punished, Changsun Wuji was willing to go all out.

He couldn't watch Datang completely decline because of this battle.

Looking at Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin smiled lightly and said:
"Auxiliary machine, you are right. There is indeed no food in the official warehouse, so I have to set up a monument of merit and ask for food from the big families."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji subconsciously shook his head and denied: "Your Majesty, how can the family have food?"

"do not have it?"

Li Shimin smiled, "But why did I find out that in the past month, many aristocratic families have collected grains circulating in the world?"

"You collect so much food, isn't it to help my Tang Dynasty tide over the difficulties? To defeat the Turks?"

"Is it possible that you want to wait for the disaster to become serious before reselling it at a high price?"

The so-called aristocratic family refers to a family with noble family status and officials for generations.

And many ministers present are undoubtedly the heads of the major families.

Now Li Shimin has thrown the right to choose in front of many ministers.

Either admit to the serious crime of reselling food.

Either follow the steps he gave and donate food for Datang.

In a sense, this is also a "monument of merit"!
Because they don't know the thoughts of other families at all, and Li Shimin didn't give them a chance to communicate with each other.

As long as one aristocratic family chooses to provide food, other aristocratic families that do not provide food will undoubtedly be targeted and ridiculed by the world!

In the hands of Li Shimin, Wang Yuan's strategy was presented in another way!

Even Fang Xuanling, who had been silent all this time, was surprised.

If Prince Wang knew about this, he didn't know what expression he would have.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin glanced at many ministers briefly. Under his gaze, many people's foreheads were sweating and their bodies were trembling.

Even Changsun Wuji's palms were sweating, his feet were weak, and he almost fell.

The eldest grandson's family is one of the most powerful families in the pass, and the eldest grandson's family naturally participated in the private purchase of grain, and it was very secretive.

Your Majesty, why do you know about this?
