Chapter 54 Arguments, Choices
After the winter solstice, Chang'an became colder and colder, but the discussion in the palace was hot.
"We took advantage of this time to send troops to eliminate Jie Li in one fell swoop."
"The severe drought in the early years had just ended the disaster relief, the national treasury was empty and unable to send troops."
"It will not be so easy to destroy Jie Li after missing this opportunity."
.....
The civil officials and generals in the Wude Hall each had their own opinions and quarreled together, and it seemed that no one was humble to each other.
Naturally, civil officials did not want to send troops. After all, they have just settled down and are at a time when all the wastes are prosperous.
On the contrary, the generals had no such concern. They only knew the shame brought by Jie Li's troops to the city a year ago, and logistics was the business of civil officials.
Even Li Shimin, who was sitting in the top position, had some headaches. In terms of feelings, he tended to send troops to the Turks, and took advantage of Jie Li's weakness to give a fatal blow.
But Li Shimin knew that the Tang Dynasty was really powerless to support another war.
However, the opportunity is just a moment. If you miss it, even Li Shimin will feel a pity, especially the news will take a few days.
After the court discussions were as fruitless as imagined, Li Shimin left behind three important officials, Changsun Wuji.
"Fuji, Keming, Xuanling, do you think I should send troops?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said, looking at the three think tanks in front of him, with a hint of hesitation in his words.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not possible."
Changsun Wuji took the lead and said, with a hint of determination in his words.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
Fang Xuanling said slowly that as the Secretary of the Central Committee, he knew even more that the current situation in the Tang Dynasty could not withstand a war.
As for Du Ruhui at the end, he was a little silent. The reason was very simple. He understood the mood of this Majesty.
Li Shimin's face showed a hint of unhappiness, and he couldn't help but look at Du Ruhui at the end. If he gave up the opportunity like this, he would be unwilling to accept it.
"What does Keming think?"
Facing His Majesty's inquiry, Du Ruhui could not remain silent.
"Keming agreed, but Your Majesty can ask the teacher what he thinks."
Du Ruhui's voice rang slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his words.
"Asian Father?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Li Shimin's eyes and murmured, as if he didn't expect that this incident had anything to do with this cheap father-in-law.
"Actually, the teacher is good at the general trend, but he is not known. I guess his strategy will not be much worse."
Du Ruhui said slowly with light in his eyes, not just nonsense, but had examples.
When he was listening to the teacher's lecture, he heard the teacher say that there might be chaos in the future and wars all over the world were everywhere.
At that time, he didn't think it was difficult. After all, the Sui Dynasty was so powerful. However, as the times went on, he realized that everything that seemed to be happening was as expected by his teacher.
This is a little secret in his heart, and it is also because Du Ruhui still chose to become a disciple even after many years.
"Maybe the teacher will have some solutions."
Changsun Wuji seemed to remember something and couldn't help but illuminate his eyes. When he followed the teacher, he would never forget the teacher's words.
What impressed him the most was that Yang Guang failed to conquer Goryeo in Sanxing. The teacher had already concluded that he would definitely fail before he appeared.
As for Fang Xuanling's expression, he was also confused. When did this An Xuan Gong become good at the general trend? Why had he not heard of it?
Then Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji briefly explained their original experience, which made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling look a little surprised.
"When did my father-in-law have such skills?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and murmured, in his impression, this father-in-law was extremely talented, and now he liked more delicious food.
As for strategy, he really didn't see it, but no matter what, he seemed to have to go to Shu Mansion again.
Because neither Changsun Wuji nor Du Ruhui were people who spoke nonsense, and they would not be fake in their expressions.
Outside Chang'an
Shu An couldn't help but look satisfied when he looked at the academy that had been established in an orderly manner.
But what surprised him was probably that Wang Xuance actually wanted to learn military tactics, although he had previously guessed that there would be any chemical reactions.
But this chemical reaction seems to be a bit big. After all, Wang Xuance is different from Xue Rengui, so he has made up his mind early.
On the contrary, I have read the books of sages for ten years. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be determined to be the best minister? Why did I start learning military tactics not long after I came to the academy?
"Teacher, after I contacted my senior brother, I found that only fighting on the battlefield was the most important thing for me, Tang Dynasty men."
"I don't know how many alien races are rampant at the border. If I don't understand, it's all right. However, now Xuan Ce believes that we have an unslacky responsibility."
"Originally, Xuan Ce wanted to get a fame and glory in the family, but with a teacher's existence, Xuan Ce was not far away, so Xuan Ce wanted to try another path."
.........
As if he saw his teacher's doubts, Wang Xuance mustered up the courage to start saying that he had thought about these things for a long time last night.
I had to think about it for a few more days before I went to find the teacher, but I didn't expect that my teacher would come to find me today. Wang Xuance couldn't help it.
After all the words were finished, Wang Xuance couldn't help but look at the expressionless teacher, then lowered his head and waited for the teacher's final decision.
In fact, he asked his senior brother first last night, but the senior brother comforted him without hesitation, and the teacher would agree.
But when he was really facing the teacher, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Shu An couldn't help but smile when he looked at the student with his head down. It seemed that he was influenced by Xue Rengui, and even Wang Xuance couldn't help but become honest.
With his relationship, it is indeed not difficult to become an official. Even because of his relationship, it is not impossible for Wang Xuance to be the prime minister.
However, now he has given up such a glorious path and chose another path. He should know that if he doesn't say that the generals have no influence.
Even if you have influence, you can only start with a young man, even those noble children will do the same.
Of course, the nobles will definitely make some arrangements and then slowly improve after a few games of qualifications, without leaving any handle.
It is undoubtedly even more difficult for Wang Xuance to take this path, and maybe he may be burying himself on the battlefield by accident.
"Well said!"
At this moment, a cheering voice came from behind the two of them.
Shu An was very familiar with this voice because it was Li Shimin's voice, but Shu An was puzzled by it.
