Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-two Who Gives Me Up! (Part 2)
Li Xian was about to come out, and the ministers were immediately surprised. It was not that they suspected Li Xian's martial arts ability, but that they were strangely in the contrast between Li Xian's attitudes. In recent days, when the prince presided over the discussion.
Li Xian was always Xu Shu who entered Cao's camp without saying a word. Even if the prince asked repeatedly, Li Xian never said anything. He was not concerned about his affairs. He suddenly stood up and shouted for a fight.
It was a little abrupt, and the ministers were shocked.
Li Xian knew the reason why the ministers were surprised, but he didn't care. Of course, Li Xian did not do this on purpose, but had to say it bluntly - in order to get Hexi
Li Xian must obtain the support of Pei Xingjian in the position of the governor. In fact, Li Xian appears to be calm these days, but secretly does Pei Xingjian's ideological work, for nothing else, just because Pei Xingjian is in the military strategy.
The emperor has a strong voice, and in addition, all the four towns in Anxi are Pei Xingjian's old subordinates. If Li Xian guards Hexi this time, he must cooperate with the various Anxi tribes. Not only Li Jinxing, who is already under the control of Li Xian, but also Ashina Dao.
It is also extremely important. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Hexi to withstand the full attack of the Tubo people, even if Li Xian went, it would be the same. After all, the forces of the two sides were too different. Moreover, Hexi has never set up a governor.
In the mansion, if Li Xian wants to take over the military and political power in Hexi, he must first be proposed by Pei Xingjian, the left prime minister, and justified it. For this reason, Li Xian spent a lot of effort and not only sent Di Renjie, the absolute confidant, to go to the court, but also
He secretly visited Pei's mansion several times in private, repeatedly stated strategies and tactics and response methods, and finally made Pei Xingjian nod, which led to the previous scene of Pei Xingjian asking for command.
"Father, it is not good for the seventh brother to have this intention. However, one is that the army is dangerous and if there is any mistake, it will be a big disadvantage for the country. Secondly, this war is very important, and all kinds of things must be mixed.
You must have a mature and steady person to take responsibility to ensure that there is no danger. My son thought that Pei Xiang was on the border for a long time and was familiar with military strategies, so he should be the best candidate."
The person Li Xian is most afraid of is not the Empress Wu, but Li Xian. What he is afraid of is that Li Xian is determined to seize his position as the prince. He does not want Li Xian to have the slightest chance to make achievements, and he does not want to see Li Xian win the triumphant victory.
At this moment, although the ministers were surprised, no one stood up to oppose him, Li Xian couldn't sit still. Before Emperor Gaozong made his statement, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Emperor Gaozong, and suggested politely.
Haha, this guy is really the most unsustainable and petty guy! For this matter, Li Xian has done his homework, and the possible reactions of all parties have been repeatedly deduced many times. For Li Xian
This behavior has long been clear in my mind. Even so, Li Xian couldn't help but contempt him fiercely in his heart, but he did not rush to refute it. Instead, he bowed quietly and stood up in a state of silence.
Leave the posture of Emperor Gaozong's sage.
“Um…”
Emperor Gaozong was naturally confident in Li Xian's ability. After all, he had a great victory in the previous attack on Tuyuhun, but Emperor Gaozong was not willing to be in charge again. It was not because he was afraid that Li Xian would have any ill-behavior, but because he was not because he was afraid that Li Xian would have any ill-behavior.
From the mentality of a father protecting his son, Li Xian was reluctant to take the risk of war again from the bottom of his heart. He naturally wanted to agree to Li Xian's advice, but he was unwilling to refute Li Xian's face in public.
Hesitated and didn't know how to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Hexi is a major place for our dynasty and we must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, the deterioration of the Western Regions is a trivial matter. If there is any mistake in Guanzhong, the fundamental reason for the country to move. Now, the thief is coming soon. If we discuss it for a long time, we may miss the opportunity to fight.
For the disaster, the old minister begs Your Majesty to make a decision early!" Gao Zong pondered for a while but didn't say anything. The prime ministers standing next to him did not dare to urge him at will, but Ke Le Yanwei had no such concern.
He flashed out and spoke loudly.
"Of course, well, Le Aiqing thinks who can take on this important task?"
Emperor Gaozong was still hesitating in his heart, but after Le Yanwei was forced to do so, he could no longer remain silent. He stroked the long beard on his chest and simply asked Le Yanwei.
"When you say to your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this war in Hexi is not about fighting, but more about making a decision. First, defend it firmly before you can think of defeating the enemy. Although there are many talented people in our dynasty, in my opinion,
There are only three people who can take on this important task. Pei Xiang is the first choice, and Liu Xiang is the next. Only His Highness Ying has this responsibility. In addition, there is another excellent candidate. As for who is in charge of Hexi, I can only ask Your Majesty to be the Saint.
Cut it!"
Le Yanwei also came prepared and had already discussed with Li Xian's response in the past few days. At this moment, when Emperor Gaozong saw the question, he answered extremely quickly.
"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to guard Hexi for Your Majesty, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Although Liu Rengui is old, his fighting will has always been very high. In the controversy over the past few days, he has always been the core figure of the pro-war faction. At this time, when he heard that Le Yanwei ranked himself second.
He immediately became energetic and stood up regardless of the consequences and asked for his orders.
"Father, do you have a son who doesn't know if you should report it or not?"
Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Li Xianzi would no longer remain silent, so he bowed and reported.
"Oh? Xian'er has something to say but it's okay to say it, I'll just listen."
Although Emperor Gaozong was not very fond of Liu Rengui, he knew that he was both civil and military. He was a great talent today. Although he was old, he was very energetic. He saw that he asked to go to war, but he did not.
He was also quite excited. After all, this old man had a successful case of pursuing Liaodong. If he guarded Hexi, Emperor Gaozong could feel at ease. He was about to approve what he asked for, but Li Xian did this.
After interrupting, I had to take back the words that had already reached my mouth. After pondering for a while, I raised my hand to Li Xianxuxu and gave a gentle command.
"I thank my father and emperor for his kindness. My son thought that managing Hexi was a long-term mission, not a matter of time. Pei Xiang was the left prime minister and the head of the court officials. It was certainly okay to lead the army to fight outside in the short term, but it was inappropriate for the long term. Liu Xiang and his civil and military officials were both great.
There are few people in the world who resisted him. He was indeed a suitable candidate for his management of Hexi. However, he was not forgiving people at all. Even though Liu Xiang was so energetic, he was over 70 years old and suppressed him with such a complex task.
I personally think that I have lost my mercy and kindness, which is not what the benevolent king likes to do. Therefore, my son asked for this heavy burden and was willing to guard the western border for his father and never destroy Tubo, and he would not return to the court!"
After Li Xian bowed and thanked him, he first analyzed the reason why Pei and Liu were not suitable for going to Hexi, and then he made a great wish with enthusiasm, and no one else was beyond words.
"Seventh brother, this is a matter for the imperial court. It is not something that can be casual. Be careful of your words and be careful of your words!"
When Li Xian heard that he asked to guard Hexi, Li Xian's eyes lit up immediately. He thought he had seized the great opportunity to drive Li Xian out of the court. Without waiting for Emperor Gaozong to speak, he had already interjected from the side.
On the surface, he seemed to be persuading Li Xian not to defend Hexi, but in fact he was forcing Li Xian to speak more and more.
There are very few people who are so ungrateful as you are, and it is really hard to raise villains and women! Li Xian is so smart, but Li Xian has such a little thought, how can he hide it from Li Xian?
His eyes were too lazy to care about him, but he just said contemptuously in his heart, but he pretended to be sighing on his face and said, "Thank you, Brother Prince, for your advice. Since I dare to speak, I dare to be a person.
If the prince’s brother does not believe it, I am willing to issue a military order and not return to the court until Tubo is defeated!"
"The seventh brother is so passionate, so it's not as good as me!" Li Xian sighed with a false sense of emotion, then suddenly turned around, bowed to Emperor Gaozong, and reported loudly: "Father, the seventh brother has always been a talented person,
I have this ambition, and my son thinks it should be fulfilled and begs my father to beg me for the kindness of the emperor!"
"Well, what does Pei Xiang mean?"
Emperor Gaozong obviously was not willing to let Li Xian go to the military disaster, so he said without hesitation, and ignored Li Xian's request. He looked at Pei Xingjian who had retreated to the side and asked calmly.
That means it seems to be asking Pei Xingjian to volunteer for the last time.
"Your Majesty clearly understands and discusses the principles of the principles, I will not ask myself the following questions. However, compared with Your Highness Ying, the old minister dare not say that he is victorious. If His Highness Ying is guarded in Hexi, it will be fine!"
Pei Xingjian himself is also a happy fighter. If it were in the past, he would have asked himself to go to war according to Emperor Gaozong's wishes. However, after talking about Li Xian for several days, Pei Xingjian has already taken the lead in his heart to Li Xian's talent.
I was amazed, and they were actually the same master. They were all inherited from the military strategy of the Duke of Wei. With such a layer of incense, Pei Xingjian was willing to sell Li Xian for a face. Of course, these are not the main reasons.
The most hidden reason is that among the three legitimate sons of Emperor Gaozong, Pei Xingjian only favored Li Xian, and this is the most fundamental reason why Pei Xingjian was willing to help Li Xian. At this time, he heard Gaozong's question, Pei Xingjian
He would not do as Gaozong wanted, but praised Li Xianzhi.
"Mei Niang, look at this..."
Emperor Gaozong obviously did not expect Pei Xingjian to be so dissatisfied with the will of the sage, and immediately became a little displeased, but he was not good at experiencing Pei Xingjian. He had to turn his head and look at the Wu Empress who had been silent all the time, and asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty is wise and I am not good at military affairs. I should ask Uncle Eighth when I am here."
Empress Wu saw some signs about Li Xian going to go to Hexi, but she couldn't figure out whether it was better to agree or oppose it for a while. Empress Wu has always been quite afraid of Li Xian's ability, and even more afraid of him.
It was Li Xian's political skills and black-bellied nature. Like the prince, she didn't want Li Xian to stay in the court for a long time. The reason why she found a breakthrough from Li Xulun in the previous episode was to have a reason to drive Li Xian out of the court.
Of course, Empress Wu’s original intention was to find a corner of Zhongzhou far away from the court and send Li Xian, but she never wanted Li Xian to take control of the local power. Obviously, although Hexi is poor, it is large.
It does not meet the idea of Empress Wu. The problem is that if Li Xian rejects this request, it will not be so easy to drive Li Xian out of the court. Because of this conflicting mentality, Empress Wu did not plan to
He made a statement easily, but kicked the ball to the King of Yue...
