Chapter 265 Empress Wu's Check and Balance Strategy
"Your Majesty," Empress Wu smiled faintly, and then said: "Although our Tang Dynasty has been led by generals in all our campaigns, since the war to destroy Goryeo, it has become a practice for princes to supervise the battles. Therefore, I suggest that we go to war this time. It is best to have a prince accompanying you in the battle, as this is also an encouragement to the soldiers fighting on the front line."
"Well, what Mei Niang said is very reasonable, but Dan'er is not as familiar with the army as Xian'er. If he is allowed to charge into the battle, it will be better to win. If he loses, I am afraid that the royal family will lose face. In fact, this is not a big deal. I'm afraid that swords and guns are blind, and if something unexpected happens, then I'm afraid..." Gaozong hesitated to speak, but the meaning of his words was already clear, for fear that something unexpected would happen to Li Dan.
But Empress Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a little worried. Although Dan'er is not as good as Xian'er in martial arts, he is also skilled in bow and horse. What's more, sending troops to fight is not a complete competition of martial arts. The courage of an ordinary man is not valuable, but the most valuable thing. It is important to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away. Dan'er has been familiar with military books since he was a child and is fully qualified to go to the battlefield to experience. Moreover, no matter how powerful the famous generals are, they are all honed on the battlefield. For example, Xian'er, when he went to the battlefield, he did not stay up all night. Now he is the new generation of military god in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, if he had not become the prince, he would be the commander-in-chief of Silla this time. However, now Xian'er is Prince, it would be a bit risky to go to the battlefield again, but how can Your Majesty know that after being tempered on the battlefield, Daner will not become a new generation of military god?"
"this……"
"The most important thing is", Empress Wu quietly came over and whispered in Gaozong's ear: "The prince's ability is too strong and he has been praised by the whole court. Both civil servants and military generals will take it to heart. If your majesty does not train someone to carry out the task, Hey, I heard Ming Chongyan say that the prince looks like Taizong. Who is Taizong? What happened to the Xuanwu Gate? Your Majesty must be on guard against this. "
"How is this possible? How could the emperor do such a thing when he is so benevolent and filial?" Gaozong looked unbelieving when he heard this, shook his head and said softly.
But Empress Wu sneered lightly and said softly again: "The original Emperor Sui Yang was also extremely benevolent and filial, and even performed better than the prince, but what was the result? Didn't he kill Emperor Wen and usurp the imperial power? There is no father or son in the Tian family. , even if it is a biological son, it will never go wrong to be more prepared. Your Majesty has now trained Dan'er. If the prince is fine, he will be an extra helper for the prince. If something happens to the prince, he can be a check and balance, so that he will have scruples. , isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
When Gaozong heard this, he was slightly shocked. He thought for a moment, then nodded and said loudly: "What the Queen said makes sense. Dan'er is also of royal blood. I, the Li family, started my family with martial arts, and the martial spirit has been integrated into my bones. Now, Although he is a royal family, he does not forget about martial arts. As a prince, Daner should relieve the worries of the Tian family and help the royal family! In this case, I have decreed that Daner will be the general manager of Jincheng Road and go to Silla to preside over the war situation. , and Xue Rengui was the deputy general manager of the Jincheng Road March and the commander-in-chief of all the military forces on Jincheng Road, Yi Quannan was the deputy general manager of the Jincheng Road March and also the comfort ambassador, and Li Duozuo was the deputy general manager of the Jincheng Road March, commanding all the armies for thirty years. Wan, in the crusade against Silla, we must capture Silla King Jin Bomin alive and make him plead guilty."
"Yes, your majesty is wise."
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Li Xian returned to the East Palace, locked himself in the study, and ordered no one to disturb him.
Although the conversation between Empress Wu and Gaozong just now was very quiet, it did not go unnoticed by Li Xian, who had practiced advanced internal skills. Li Xian heard every word they said clearly, precisely because he could hear clearly.
It was clear that Li Xian felt extremely bitter in his heart.
He originally thought that his father, Emperor Gaozong, was a kind and kind man. Although he was a bit weak in temperament and soft-spoken, he sincerely supported him and never cared about anything. But now he really understands the so-called
The Tian family is ruthless, that is indeed the case. Gaozong can be sincere to himself to a certain extent, but if his power threatens his imperial power, he will definitely suppress him.
"Hehe, I finally understand now that when I first dealt with Changsun Wuji, an old minister like Shangguan Yi, it seemed that she was the queen, but it was actually my father who made the decision. In order to concentrate the imperial power, he and I
My mother later cooperated and attacked his biological uncle. This is exactly what the so-called Tian family is ruthless. And now I finally understand why my cheap grandfather Emperor Taizong attacked his biological brother and his father.
There is pressure, and sometimes this is a forced choice, because if you don't do that, there will be only a dead end."
There was a trace of cruelty in Li Xian's eyes. He thought silently for a moment, and finally said secretly: "Although he is ruthless, I can't be unjust. After all, my father has been sincere to me over the years. It's just that he was treated badly today."
My mother-in-law's bewitchment made me wary, but it was just wary, and it didn't really do anything to me, so I can't act rashly yet."
After a while, Li Xian suddenly thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was right. He couldn't help but sneered: "Hey, I'm afraid this is also a test for me by my mother-in-law, right? If I feel that my father is right.
After my injustice, if I really take action, she will immediately seize the matter and accuse me of treason, and I will end up disastrous like my sixth brother Li Xian.
Let’s end it.”
After carefully feeling the trick in this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and said lightly: "Hey, my mother-in-law is really cruel, and she has even started to make plans to get rid of me now, and she is good at grasping human nature in the situations she has laid.
, it seems that Ming Chongyan's death did not crush her, but made her smarter as she worked harder. In fact, if you think about it, she was used to letting Ming Chongyan use his brain to help her solve problems. Although Ming Chongyan had some tricks,
, but how can it be compared to the Queen's personal attack? But you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. I will never act rashly. This is like two snipers in later generations facing off. The competition is
Patience, I will wait patiently now. When you move, I will shoot you with a fatal shot and blow your head off. At this time, you can take back your so-called tricks such as throwing bricks to lure jade, luring snakes out of holes and so on. Don't embarrass yourself here.
, even if I really come out to embarrass myself, I will not be moved. Hey, do you think that my meditation skills in the past twenty years were in vain?" (To be continued.)
