Chapter 243 The battle for the storage position begins today
It seems that Xie Yi is the first person to give a positive answer and give a relatively complete response to the issue of main war and reconciliation.
The court officials admired Xie Yi's courage. Most of the people who were in charge of fighting were involved in their own interests or were "involuntary". The speakers were all not so important, and their words were broad, and there was a lot of room for maneuver, while the adults were completely ruling.
But Xie Yi's statement is so clear and so concise, it is a bit alternative. Some people think that Xie Yi is too hasty and the prime ministers are very cautious about major matters. Is it really good to be so rash?
However, Li Shimin was very satisfied. The emperor was like a business owner. He did not want employees to give all kinds of feasible or unfeasible rhetoric. What he needed was a strategy and an implementation plan. In a hurry, Xie Yi's approach made him very satisfied.
His Majesty Li Er's expression was slightly loose, and he asked, "Xie Yi, what is the chance of winning the battle?"
"The Tang Dynasty is so powerful, and when the army arrives, Gaochang will be pacified." This is something clearly written in history books. Xie Yi is naturally unambiguous. After he didn't want to say it, he suddenly felt a little nervous. He was an anomaly, and the butterfly effect had already appeared. What if...
Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If the battlefield changes rapidly, it will definitely be possible...
So he added cautiously: "The premise is that you must be prepared, and another brave general needs to lead the troops."
"Do you have a recommended candidate?"
Xie Yi didn't expect Li Shimin to ask this question, and the question was so direct. Although he knew that Hou Junji was the most suitable, he never dared to say it out loud.
A minister can give a plan and strategy for a certain issue, but it is necessary to ask for employment, especially when it comes to military generals. It is a taboo for the ministers to take action, and it is even more a way to die.
Xie Yi was as clear as a mirror and hurriedly said, "I don't know the military, and I dare not discuss such major issues. Please ask Your Majesty to judge."
"Yeah!" Li Shimin responded lightly and stopped talking.
After some discussion, the matter of sending troops to attack Gaochang was settled. Obviously, Li Shimin would not make any concessions easily on the territorial issue.
It was just that someone had opposed it before. It was just that he was not good for the emperor to make a clear statement first. It was different at this time. Hou Junji and Xie Yi agreed one after another, but the public opinion was completely different.
The ministers had to abide by this fact, but they were still a little nervous about sending troops. After all, they had to go through the Gobi desert, and they had to take advantage of the time, place and people, just like they had almost no one to take over. It seemed difficult to succeed.
If he was defeated in the battle, the general who led his troops would probably be held responsible and was so thankless that he would become the sucker.
Furthermore, this young, energetic and ignorant scholar Xie is the one who is the first to clarify his suggestions and give his strategies. At that time, I am afraid that he will not escape accountability, at least the censors have already remembered it.
For a moment, everyone's eyes looked at Xie Yi were also quite strange.
As for the candidates to lead the troops to fight, it is difficult to determine for a while. It is estimated that His Majesty Li Er and the Prime Minister need to discuss carefully with the veterans to get a result.
However, Xie Yi was still optimistic about Hou Junji. In the whole court, who except this brave veteran, could he be competent for this arduous task?
This battle will surely make Hou Junji successful, but nothing unexpected happens. It is this battle that made him feel arrogant and eventually embark on the road of no return.
Today is just a discussion on the response to the Gaochang Rebellion, but Xie Yi felt that this would be the initial beginning of the Tang Dynasty's crown turmoil.
Li Shimin is the initiator. He also contributed to the fire. Who can accurately determine the final result?
The matter of going to the expedition is not yet final, but Xie Yi's suggestion to send envoys to Gaochang Shen to denounce Ju Wen was adopted. The ministers were happy to see that this was achieved. After all, it would be best if it could be resolved peacefully, but it was not worth it to work hard on the expedition. Furthermore, first rituals and then troops have always been a major principle of the Han Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the Yu Department’s doctor Li Daoyu, who initially agreed to the Lord, took on this chore and had to accept the order. Xie Yi always felt that when Doctor Li looked at him, his eyes were so unfriendly, probably because he was complaining about his proposal!
But who can blame him? If he hadn't first jumped out of the peace and talked about some great principles, perhaps this matter would not have ended up on him.
What's more, it's just a trip to Gaochang. Although it seems dangerous, there is a saying that the two countries are fighting each other and not killing them. Ju Wentai should not do anything to him.
Of course, if Ju Wentai cruelly killed him, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be filled with righteous indignation, and the fighters sent troops to attack Gaochang with high spirits.
The final result is whether it is life or death, Li Daoyu will receive rewards from the Tang Dynasty. The difference is only whether he will be a hero or a martyr.
It should be the former. As long as he comes back alive and waits for Hou Junji to successfully attack Gaochang, he will definitely not lose his reward on merits and deeds. So, should he apologize to himself and then thank him?
On the way down the court, Xie Yi was complaining in this heart, accidentally saw King Li Tai of Wei looking at him, with a clear hint in his eyes. It seemed to be telling Xie Yi that you can show off in the court today because of me.
It seems that this is actually the case, but in fact, Li Tai was able to expect such a situation at first? At this time, he just wanted to get close to him!
I have to say that in recent days, Li Tai's attitude towards him has completely changed. He obviously intends to win over him, so he has been trying a lot about this.
But Xie Yi was still cautious. In order to avoid completely offending the Wei Palace, he did not directly and completely refuse, but felt a sense of being close and distant.
After all, he didn't want to be involved in the battle for the throne too early, and he had his own considerations and plans.
However, it is obvious that others don’t think so. Today, Li Shimin bypassed King Li Ke of Wu and asked Li Tai’s question to the court officials was an extremely obvious and strong signal. His Highness the King of Wei’s weight in His Majesty’s heart continued to rise, and his value and expectations in their hearts increased a lot.
It was during the following dynasty, and many people surrounded His Highness the King of Wei, either talking or complimenting, or at least getting familiar with each other.
Prince Li Chengqian, who limped on the other side, looked so gloomy when he saw this scene.
In his opinion, today's father's actions were to suppress himself and polite the fourth brother Li Tai, which was not a good phenomenon.
Look at the moment, there are fence-bearing grass surrounding Li Tai, as if she has regarded him as the future crown prince and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
But they all forgot that they were the prince and the master of the future Tang Dynasty.
However……
When he thought of the court, his father specifically instructed Li Tai to choose a date to pay homage to the Wei Palace in Yankangfang. Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little panicked and became more and more uneasy... (To be continued.)
