In the palace, the eldest son's family, the Fang family, Li Zhi and his wife, and the imperial hospital were all turned upside down by people who had repeatedly tormented them.
Finally, before the end of February, the knot between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong that had made everyone anxious was reconciled.
The result of the two compromises was that Princess Changle no longer insisted on making peace with Changsun Chong, but Changsun Chong had to take in another concubine and give Changsun Chong a healthy heir.
In order to keep Princess Changle by his side, Changsun Chong reluctantly agreed, thinking that whether he would accept her or not was one thing, but whether or not he would touch her was another matter.
By coincidence, Fang Yiai later heard from Changsun Huan that the woman who was promoted as Changsun Chong's concubine was the maid who talked too much in front of Princess Changle that day.
After a lot of trouble, Princess Changle fell ill, and Empress Changsun fell ill again. Therefore, Fang Yiai and Taiyuan Hospital, who had caused the incident, were angered by Li Shimin and dealt with them. After the merits and demerits were balanced, only
Let the Ministry of Accounts reimburse the Taiyuan Hospital for the money it has spent on this matter over the years, and all other rewards will be waived.
Fortunately, Tai Hospital had already expected this situation. Seeing that the staff of Tai Hospital did not suffer any real losses, everyone just worried about it and went about their business without worrying too much.
this matter.
Although on the surface Princess Changle and Changsun Chong were reconciled as before and were even more affectionate than before, after all, there was an unsightly concubine inserted between the two, and it was Princess Changle who supported Changsun Chong herself, which made her feel somewhat unhappy in her heart.
Being constantly provoked by such a shameless woman who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and who had no idea how to move forward or retreat, made Changsun Chong's family restless. The entire Changsun Mansion was also in a state of constant turmoil, and there were a lot of troubles.
As a result, Princess Changle's health was getting worse day by day, and because of Princess Changle's face, she had no way to do anything to that woman, so she could only let Mrs. Changsun keep her under control in the name of her mother-in-law.
In a gloomy mood, Princess Changle could not survive for a few more years. She passed away early in the 20th year of Zhenguan. She was sad that her beloved daughter died early, and the eldest grandson Queen fell ill again. Li Shimin, who was also in poor health, was furious.
Under the circumstances, the woman who was taken as a concubine and made trouble for her daughter was ordered to die in the name of a loyal servant.
Also, because of the marriage decree, Fang Yiai, who was the first to leave the house, was settled by Li Shimin's wife, who fucked her from head to toe. Apart from the false reputation of Prince Consort, she was almost completely demoted to a white body.
Of course, this is something.
After the situation between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong stabilized, within half a month, the court received a letter of credence from Silla Kingdom asking for help.
Years later, Goguryeo and Baekje colluded to suddenly attack Silla, hoping to destroy Silla and break the peaceful pattern of the three kingdoms. It was very likely that the Fuso people were involved.
When the incident happened suddenly, Silla was caught off guard and in a hurry, it could only ask for help from Tang Dynasty, which was regarded as its mother country.
This was because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo. Each time he returned in vain, and the country was ruined. The people of Goguryeo were very deceitful in the Northeast during the late Sui Dynasty.
Although after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo seemed to have restrained itself a lot, but secretly there were still minor frictions with the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Yiai also heard privately that Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and other senior generals said that although they had many complaints about Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who ignored the national conditions and rushed into the east to conquer the defeated army, they were more dissatisfied with his actions.
The men who led China were defeated by an inconspicuous place like Goguryeo. They always felt sad in their hearts.
Therefore, a letter asking for help from the Silla Kingdom was sent. The elderly generals were gearing up one by one, actively requesting orders, and wanted to lead the army in the Eastern Expedition. This was the shame of defeat left by the Sui and Yang Dynasties before!….
However, this time Li Shimin did not make a general decision on the spot, but asked everyone to think carefully before making a decision.
"What? The emperor wants to personally lead the army to the east?!" Fang Yiai looked at Fang Xuanling with a solemn expression in surprise, wanting to see if Fang Xuanling was joking.
Although Fang Yiai remembered that in history, at the beginning of the 19th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin did personally lead his troops to the east.
Fang Yiai didn't know what Li Shimin's physical condition was at that time, but now, if Li Shimin really insists on going on a personal expedition, the fatigue of traveling back and forth will be enough to shorten Li Shimin's life by several years.
Another point is that during the Western Expedition, Li Shimin also personally led the expedition, and even chose Yu Chigong, who was only a general, as the commander-in-chief. He was just putting the tea utensils around and serving as a scapegoat in case of emergency.
Because of the incident in Duoke City, Yuchi Gong did take the blame for Li Shimin. After he came back, he complained about his old age. Embarrassed, Li Shimin ordered him to take the post of governor of Xiazhou and left the capital far away with his two wives.
Served in Xiazhou.
Therefore, everyone was very scared, worried that Li Shimin would appoint a general as commander like last time, causing what happened in Doko City to happen again.
"The emperor has long wanted to conquer the East, but he is still too old." Fang Xuanling nodded gently and said, "Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, Goguryeo has always been peaceful and has never offended the Tang Dynasty. That's why it has not been found.
An excuse for the Eastern Expedition, so the emperor did not dare to mention this matter lightly."
"Dad, what you mean is that even if there is no letter from Silla for help, the emperor will raise the matter of the Eastern Expedition in the court when he thinks it is appropriate?" Fang Yiai said.
"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded and confirmed Fang Yiai's guess, and said, "When Emperor Sui Yang went on his third eastern expedition, the emperor followed him. The emperor was always worried about the hasty defeat at that time.
Huai, this bad breath will come out no matter what."
"The emperor once followed Emperor Sui Yang on his eastern expedition?" Fang Yiai asked in surprise.
"Well, it was also that hasty and somewhat absurd military defeat that prompted the emperor to resolve to save the world." Fang Xuanling recalled the past and said with emotion.
Fang Yiai looked at Fang Xuanling with bright eyes, intending to hear some things from Fang Xuanling's mouth again, but Fang Xuanling closed her mouth uncooperatively and fell into memories.
Feeling alone.
Fang Yiai rolled her eyes in frustration, and when she wanted to ask more questions, she saw a sad look on Fang Xuanling's face, and knew that Fang Xuanling might be thinking of Du Ruhui, who had passed away.
In order to prevent Fang Xuanling from being too sad and hurting her body again, Fang Yiai quickly called out Fang Xuanling's thoughts and asked about the business, "Dad, do you know who the emperor plans to choose as handsome this time? No.
Are you going to make the same plan as last time and prepare to let Uncle Cheng Shi take the lead?"
"Cheng Yaojin is very good at it." When thinking of Cheng Yaojin's performance in the afternoon, Fang Xuanling couldn't help laughing and said, "I went to the Tai Chi Hall and repeatedly expressed my wishes, saying that I would go with the army."
There is a battle to fight, so it is strange that Cheng Yaojin does not go. In the morning in the court, Cheng Yaojin was also one of the loudest people clamoring to go out with him. With such a loud voice, if he really let
If you let go and shout, it is estimated that a few tiles on the roof of Chao Palace will be shaken off.
After what happened to Xue Yantuo and watching Yu Chigong leave the capital with a depressed expression, Cheng Yaojin would not foolishly let himself follow in Captain Chi Gong's footsteps.
Otherwise, those who clamored in front of Li Shimin would not be going out with the army, but leading the army.
This difference between easy-going and easy-going will not affect military merit if you win, but if you lose, the issue of the degree of responsibility will show the real difference.
"With Uncle Qin Shi and General Li Ji here, he is too lazy to take the big responsibility and spends his brain arranging the messy march." Fang Yiai curled her lips and said, looking at Fang Xuanling's expression, Fang Yiai could guess that,
It makes people feel helpless how disgusting it would be to sacrifice gold for mileage in the Taiji Hall. "As long as he goes on the expedition and fights his own battles, he doesn't care about other things. Anyway, no one dares to compete with him for his military exploits on the battlefield."
Rob."….
"That's why the emperor was troubled by him. If the emperor hadn't threatened that if he didn't go home and stay well, he wouldn't be taken with him when he went on an expedition. Otherwise, he might have made trouble at the palace gate." Fang Xuanling rubbed it.
Head, said.
"The emperor has said more than once that he is a lucky general. If the emperor wanted to conquer the army himself, why would he not take him with him? Why would he make such a fuss?" Fang Yiai asked puzzledly.
"The coach's problem." Fang Xuanling said.
"Uncle Qin Shishu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and General Li Ji, the left minister, are not all good candidates. The emperor will make up his mind on who to choose. Why is he making a fuss?" Fang Yiai said.
"When you went to Wu Tang in the afternoon, General Li Jing also got the news that the emperor wanted to march eastward. He entered the palace and asked to accompany the emperor on the expedition," Fang Xuanling said.
"Don't tell me that Mr. Cheng made a bad idea in front of the emperor and wanted to set up three commanders and divide the troops into three groups to go to Goguryeo?" Fang Yiai guessed with a toothache.
Think about it, there is no doubt about Qin Qiong's status in Cheng Yaojin's heart. Li Ji also has a good relationship with Cheng Yaojin. Although Li Jing does not have much friendship with Cheng Yaojin, as an older man, he has outstanding military skills. Cheng Yaojin
Jin also respected him very much.
In this way, with Cheng Yaojin's ability to stir things up, it is really possible to make such a suggestion.
"Yes, when General Qin was called into the Taiji Hall by the emperor first, Cheng Yaojin followed and suggested that the emperor directly give the commander's seal to General Qin. When General Li Ji went to the Taiji Hall to ask for an audience, he said with a playful smile,
If the wrong troops are divided into two groups to attack Goguryeo from the road, one in the dark and the other in the light, they may be able to achieve miraculous results easily." Fang Xuanling said with a headache.
"Needless to say, when General Li Jing went to the Tai Chi Hall, he simply said that there would be a three-pronged attack to defeat Goguryeo." Fang Yiai took over Fang Xuanling's words and said with a bit of toothache.
Fang Xuanling gave Fang Yiai a look that you expected, nodded helplessly, and said, "Just like that, the entire Taiji Hall meeting was messed up by him alone. The emperor was so angry that he couldn't do anything.
We can only drive him away with half threat and half persuasion. After driving him away, the emperor himself has been disturbed by him and has lost interest in discussing matters."
