Li Shimin saw that Fang Xuanling looked like an obedient baby and was silent about Du Ruhui's aggressive tactics. He couldn't help but feel dumb.
"Okay, Xuanling, don't have any scruples. Your words will not be spread here. I want to hear what you think about this matter." Li Shimin asked again.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling also knew that Li Shimin was planning to get to the bottom of things, so he replied: "Your Majesty, actually it doesn't matter what decision we make."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully, and Du Ruhui was also listening attentively, wanting to see what his old partner with a reputation as a fan of planning thought.
"I heard that Jieli has retreated to Tieshan, and his troops are about to be dispersed. Many small tribes are also alienated from Jieli. Now that Jieli sees that he is no match for our Tang army, he sends Zhihusili to Chang'an
When the envoy wants to apologize and negotiate for peace, what do you think Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Dingxiang Road march, will think?"
Fang Xuanling asked instead without answering.
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui seemed to have guessed Fang Xuanling's intentions.
"According to what I know about Li Jing, he will definitely not miss this rare opportunity." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Zheng Xuan and Pei Ji joined forces, and with the support of some aristocratic families, they wanted Li Shimin to withdraw his troops. The reason was that they did not want to see Li Shimin wasting money and harming the people.
This made Li Shimin very angry. Didn't I destroy the Turks for the long-term peace of the Tang Dynasty?
The states in the north close to the Turks have been invaded and plundered by the Turks for years, causing the people to live in dire straits. Li Shimin even suffered the humiliation of the Weishui River. How could he agree to negotiate peace?
Therefore, in the past two days, Li Shimin had a heated exchange of words with those sour Confucian old officials in the court. Li Shimin was also annoyed to the point where he could not help himself. These people rose to the moral high ground at every turn and questioned Li Shimin for so laboring and mobilizing people to plunge the people into war.
What is sought in.
If Li Shimin hadn't seen that these people had the support of scholars and even some old ministers, Li Shimin would have really wanted to slap them. They are short-sighted, selfish, and only consider their own family, never caring about the safety of the country.
"Your Majesty, I still feel that this is not safe. What if Li Jingzhen returns to the court?" Du Ruhui said worriedly.
"Haha! Keming, you are the Minister of War, are you so worried about those veteran generals? They have long thought about launching troops against the Turks." Li Shimin laughed.
Of course, Li Shimin would not test people's hearts, and would definitely send a secret message to Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others.
Seeing that Li Shimin was so convinced, Du Ruhui said no more, but he seemed to have guessed Li Shimin's intention.
This time Zheng Xuan united with the Shandong aristocratic families and took advantage of Jie Li's attempt to negotiate a peace to force Li Shimin to withdraw his troops and give the aristocratic family a chance to breathe.
Otherwise, when the time comes, Li Shimin will be more famous with his great contribution to destroying the Turks, and the survival of the family will be difficult at that time.
Li Shimin doesn't want to break up with the family now, otherwise the Tang Dynasty may fall apart due to external and internal troubles. Even though Li Shimin is confident that he can handle these crises, he still cannot take risks easily.
At this time, I heard Fang Xuanling's on-demand broadcast, and I suddenly understood what to do. When you want to negotiate a peace, I agreed and will send envoys. However, I will be outside and your orders will not be accepted. Li Jing and the others will attack independently. Strange
Who can win?
"Then who do you think should be sent as envoy to the Turks if Jieli agrees to negotiate peace this time?" Li Shimin asked again.
When Du Ruhui heard Li Shimin's question, he already knew that Li Shimin had adopted Fang Xuanling's opinion, so he said no more.
"I think Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple, can take on this responsibility." Fang Xuanling replied.
"Tang Jian? Haha, this man is also a wonderful person, so let's decide like this!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
…
"Father, will the emperor agree to the Turks' peace negotiation?" Zheng Shicai asked.
"Alas! Even my father doesn't know that if Li Jing and others destroy the Turks this time, we aristocratic families will have even less say in the future." Zheng Xuan was also tired these past few days and sighed.
"You have united with Duke Pei and so many aristocratic families, why is the emperor still unwilling to retreat?" Zheng Shicai asked doubtfully.
Pei Ji was a close confidant of Li Yuan. When Li Yuan launched his army in the early years, it was said that Pei Ji donated 500 palace maids and used 90,000 hu of grain and grass, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and 400,000 pieces of armor from the Jinyang Palace for military purposes. He was trusted by Li Yuan.
.
"Caier, our emperor is not an ordinary person!" Zheng Xuan sighed.
"Then what should we do?" Zheng Shicai asked.
"Wait..." Zheng Xuan looked to the north, and there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes.
After Zheng Shicai left, Zheng Xuan called the housekeeper and said: "Send this letter..."
…
"The north wind blows the white grass on the ground, and the sky is full of snow in August. Damn, what the hell is this weather!" Zhang San held a copper pot in his arms, rubbed his frozen hands, and cursed.
"Sir, there is hot water here. Please drink some to warm yourself up." Genzi said as he brought the hot water.
"Oh! It's still comfortable at home!" Zhang San sighed with saliva.
"Sir, are you homesick?" Erwazi came over and asked.
"Yes, I heard that the imperial court has agreed to the Turks' peace negotiation, and is sending envoys to the Turks to discuss compensation." Zhang San is not very clear about this history. He only knows that this war should be based on the original historical trajectory.
Jieli was raised in Chang'an by Li Shimin, and the Eastern Turks became history.
Now I did suddenly hear that Li Shimin was going to send an envoy to the Turks and agree to the Turks' request. At this moment, Zhang San started to doubt whether the history he learned back then was true.
If what Zhang San was thinking was known to his history teacher, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. Tang Jian sent an envoy to the Turks, and Li Jing took the opportunity to launch an offensive, chasing Jieli Khan, and was eventually captured alive by Zhang Baoxiang. This is recorded in history books.
, Zhang San, a science student who knows only a little about history, is still doubting history here.
"Xiao San, what are you doing hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Cheng Chumo came in from outside the camp and said.
"It's warm here, why are you looking for me? Is anyone else injured?" Zhang San asked.
"Without fighting, no one will be injured. Now that the emperor has agreed to negotiate peace, the Turks are being honest. They are afraid that they will offend us and be destroyed again." Cheng Chumo said angrily.
"You! Wouldn't it be better not to fight?" Zhang San doesn't like fighting. There was a war some time ago, but many people died, especially some soldiers who were seriously injured, and they could not be rescued. This made Zhang San feel good.
Very heavy.
At first, he was bragging, saying that as long as he was not killed on the battlefield, he could be revived by him when he came back. However, several seriously injured soldiers died one after another in the border town. Their wounds were inflamed, causing a high fever that would not go away, and they eventually died.
Three was very sad.
"In my view, the Turks are about to be defeated. At this time, we should work hard to defeat the Turks, so as to avoid future troubles."
"I didn't expect you to have such insight!" Zhang San praised, thinking that even Cheng Chumo could think of a problem that Li Shimin couldn't have thought of. Then there was this peace negotiation. Could it be that there was something wrong with the DPRK?
?
"What the hell, it's none of my business anyway." Zhang San cursed in his mind.
"You are talking about this damn weather. It was hot the day before yesterday, and suddenly it snowed today." Zhang San wrapped her clothes tightly and was very disgusted with this capricious weather.
