Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 35
Li Shimin helped Li Yuan down the tower, "Erlang, go and do your work, Wei Guo just stay with me." Li Yuan said to Li Shimin with a sigh
"The son obeyed the order, and the state of Wei took good care of the father and emperor. "Li Shimin thought for a while and exhorted.
"I obey!" Feng Daiwen agreed, and stepped forward to help Li Yuan slowly walk into the Linhu Hall.

Li Yuan sat down, lying on the soft bed as if he lost all his strength, waved his hands to let the servants back out, and said in a low tone: "Wei Guo, tell me exactly what happened."

"It's a saint. Yesterday, when I was playing in the city of Chang'an, I met the king of Qin. The king of Qin invited me to visit Chang'an. He didn't accompany the king of Qin back to the palace until a short time later. Before New Year's greetings to the saint, he went into the palace with King Qin to see if the saint had summoned his ministers, but as soon as he arrived at the Linhu Palace, he saw King Qi and his men had already ambushed here,,,,," Feng Daiwen recounted what happened yesterday. Ten, narrate it for Li Yuan without any personal feelings,
When Li Yuan heard that Li Yuanji died in battle and that Li Jiancheng committed suicide, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Feng Daiwen had no choice but to persuade him dryly; "The sage please mourn"

"Guo Wei, it was I who killed them, I took down Datang, and now the brothers and sisters in the world have made great contributions, so I wanted to treat them all better, and gave Erlang a lot of power to make him feel confident. I have other ideas, Dalang is less capable than Erlang, it’s not too much pressure, I went the wrong way, I understand all this, it’s a pity I didn’t make a decision earlier, it’s because I hurt them.” Li Yuan murmured Feng Daiwen said with tears in his hands;

Feng Daiwen didn't know how to persuade him. He also understood that Li Yuan didn't need someone to persuade him. He understood everything, but he just needed someone to listen to him. He could only hold Li Yuan's hand and pat the back of Li Yuan's hand with the other to signal that he understood.
After Li Shimin left the palace, he immediately sent people to appease the people, and according to the tone set by Li Yuan, informed the various armies and ordered others not to pursue any crimes. Only then did Hou Junji lead people to Li Shimin's side, and Li Shimin realized that there was still a group of people Attacking the Prince Qin's Mansion, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Knowing that everyone in the Palace was safe and sound, he couldn't help being grateful for Feng Daiwen's arrangement,

Feng Daiwen listened to Li Yuan's ramblings in the palace for two hours until Li Yuan fell asleep before leaving the palace. Feng Daiwen rushed to Qin Palace when Feng Daiwen came out of the palace. Li Shimin looked tired, but his spirit was very excited.
After Li Shimin sat down, everyone stood up and saluted Li Shimin excitedly: "I have seen King Qin."

"Everyone, please sit down," Li Shimin came with a smile on his face; "Today, Ben Wang is able to sit here, everyone has contributed a lot, Shimin is grateful to all of you," Li Shimin said, bowing to everyone,
I didn't dare to wait, everyone hurriedly returned the salute,
"Okay, okay, I know in my heart that everyone has paid, and I will be rewarded handsomely in the future." Li Shimin said with a smile:
"Thank you, King Qin, this is what I should do and dare not take credit for," Fang Xuanling replied as the head of the civil servants;

"The sage is not in good health now, and the crown prince is dead, do you see any regulations for reconciliation?" Li Shimin asked;

"The Crown Prince's funeral has to be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, but the Crown Prince, the original Qi Palace needs to make other arrangements," Fang Xuanling said in embarrassment;
"The family of the king of Qi is assigned to Lingnan, and we need you to arrange the matter of Weiguo. As for the family of the prince,,,,," Li Shimin said hesitantly:

"The family members of King Qi must make proper arrangements, so that they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives," Feng Daiwen said with a serious face;
"The crown prince is the eldest brother of King Qin, why not set up a mansion next to the king's mansion, so that the prince can take care of him nearby," Du Ruhui said;
Li Shimin couldn't help being moved when he heard the words. He said that he was taking care of and monitoring nearby. He couldn't help but looked up at the others. The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling nodded, "Then let's arrange it like this. I need you to worry about it recently. Come up with a plan to stabilize the government and the opposition.”

If everyone agreed, Li Shimin asked everyone to disperse.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness still has the most important thing to arrange." Feng Daiwen said with a serious face;

"What else is going on in Weiguo, but it's okay to say." Li Shimin asked suspiciously:
"Gentlemen, it is impossible for the Turks not to know about such a big event in the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for them to be indifferent," Feng Daiwen said;
Everyone was shocked, Fang Xuanling bowed bitterly to Li Shimin and saluted, "Your Highness, what Wei Guo said is true, I have neglected such an important matter, please forgive me, my lord."

Li Shimin also stood up in shock and gave a little help: "Xuanling doesn't need to blame himself, not only you and I have thought of something, but fortunately Wei Guo reminded, Wei Guo, since you have thought of it, what suggestions do you have?"

"I only have a little opinion, and I would like to ask you to help me to improve it," Feng Daiwen said;

"Weiguo Jingguan said so," Changsun Wuji said;

"My minister expects that when the grassland snows and the big script is the Turkic Kouguan, the time should be March to April, leaving us with only two months to prepare. I will not say that I am not familiar with many ministers in my court, so I will say Let me make my arrangement. I ask Xu Chen, king of Qin, to mobilize 5 troops from south of Lingnan to Luoyang. If the Turks come, they can fight. If the Turks don’t come, they can farm nearby, and then they can open up ten thousand acres of wasteland.”

"Well, this king agrees to this matter, and now I will issue the order of Tian Ce to the general." Li Shimin asked someone to write the following letter and seal it:

Fang Xuanling said: "If the Turks want to take advantage of my internal turmoil to attack the route, the main force should be borrowed from Shuofang to Liangshidu to go straight to Chang'an. If we really come, as long as we fortify the walls and clear the fields and prepare troops in advance, the Turks will not find it cheap. We had to retreat, after all, the beginning of spring is not suitable for the Turks to fight for a long time.”

"But if I start the spring, I will wait for the battle. It will definitely affect the spring plowing. And prepare troops in advance. There is not so much food and grass," Changsun Wuji said.

"It's okay to transfer the troops from Luoyang. If the Turks didn't come, the troops transferred can help the spring plowing. When Lingnan soldiers arrive in Luoyang, they can help the Luoyang government soldiers to plow the spring. It won't delay the spring plowing, and it won't affect the people. I can better understand the family of the army and the people. As for the grain, Lingnan should be able to raise 100 million shi, and the grain in Luoyang Chang'an is more than enough." Feng Daiwen said:
"That's right, Weiguo's strategy is very clever." Li Shimin excitedly stood up and clapped his hands in agreement.

"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead," Fang Xuanling said with emotion:
"Okay, great kindness," Du Ruhui said succinctly:

"Everyone has worked hard today. Everyone, go back and have a good rest. If there are other things that will be discussed at the court tomorrow," Li Shimin said wearily:
After a busy night, everyone was exhausted, so they saluted and left one after another.

After this relaxation, Feng Daiwen was young and strong, but he spent half the night fighting with Li Yuan and had been with Li Yuan until half the morning, so he couldn't help but limp in his seat and didn't want to move.

"Weiguo is tired, let's rest in the mansion." Li Shimin slapped Feng Daiwen's shoulder gratefully. After all, it wasn't Feng Daiwen who brought people to protect him, and Li Yuanji killed him long ago. It was someone who arranged to protect his wife and children,

Feng Daiwen nodded wearily and let his servants help him down to rest. . .
