Chapter 486
What Qin Feng didn't know was that after he left, Li Shimin specially invited Fang Mou Dujuan to evaluate his strategy.

He led Qiu Yi out of the palace, and on the way back home, he asked about Goguryeo, especially Anshi City.

Anshicheng is the only way to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, and it is also an important town for Goguryeo to defend the Central Plains. Yang Guang's army also returned from this important town.

When Qiu Yi came, he passed by this city, and he knew everything about Qin Feng's questions, and he answered them carefully based on his memory while thinking.

Qin Feng listened very carefully, and when Qiu Yi answered, he kept asking, until Qiu Yi had nothing to add, then he stopped.

Qiu Yi couldn't help asking: "General Qin, why are you asking these questions? Didn't His Majesty say that there will be no wars in the short term?" It could be heard that Qiu Yi was disappointed, disappointed, depressed, complained, and complained. Dissatisfied... There is also a trace of grievance.

Qin Feng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Things are not as absolute as you think, just wait a few days and see, maybe things will turn around unexpectedly."

"General Qin, you mean..." Qiu Yi's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up in surprise and joy.

"Look, maybe you won't be alone on the way back, maybe someone will walk with you, maybe that person is me." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"It would be great if the general could go!" Qiu Yi suddenly became cheerful, and the haze in his heart disappeared.

"There are some things that have not been decided by the higher authorities, so you can't talk nonsense. Go, go back to the mansion with me first, and I will make a sand table of Anshi City. This Anshi City will be the strongest barrier for my Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo. I I hope that with your understanding of it, you can help me."

Qiu Yi is not very proficient in the art of war, but he also knows Qin Feng's military level, so he nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, don't worry, General, I will do my best to help you complete this matter."

Tai Chi Hall!
The magnificent Tai Chi Hall is the most magnificent palace in the whole palace.The foundation of the hall is six feet higher than the slope. The main hall is eleven rooms wide and four rooms deep. It is located on a three-story platform.In front of the hall, there are two pavilions, Xiangluan and Qifeng, on the left and right. On both sides of the hall are the second buildings of bells and drums. The Longwei Road spirals up against the wall of the platform.The Tai Chi Hall is composed of main halls and high pavilions on a "concave" plane, echoing each other, with undulating outlines, huge volume, magnificent momentum, cheerful and brilliant, and full of spiritual shock.In ancient times, some people described its spirit as "born like the sun" and "like in Xiaohan".

This is the center of the power of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is the place where the military and state affairs are discussed, and the court listens to the government. Staged a thousand officials looking at Chang'an, the most prosperous age in the history of Tai Chi in all nations.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall, which can hold thousands of people, is serious.

Li Shimin first stated the Goguryeo incident, and supported King Rongliu in the name of Tian Khan, and wrote a book to forcefully point at Yuan Dazuo, committing a heinous crime, asking him to bind himself immediately and plead guilty.

Seeing Li Shimin's inexplicable behavior, Qin Feng was a little puzzled.But after some careful thinking, I suddenly realized that I had to admire Li Shimin's clever means.His few simple words have already pushed King Rongliu and Yuan Dazuo to death.

It seems that Li Shimin just expressed his opinion indifferently, but this "indifferent" can produce an extremely huge chain reaction.

Yuan Dazuo, headed by Yuan Dazuo, has great ambitions. They have already begun to rebel and embarked on a road of no return. Naturally, they will not bind themselves to plead guilty as Li Shimin wishes?That is simply impossible.

It's just that the influence of the Tang Dynasty is extremely huge. It is impossible for Yuan Dazuo not to be impatient to publicly support King Rongliu, let alone continue to confront King Rongliu.The only thing he can do is to show his favor to Datang and destroy King Rongliu before the Tang Dynasty sent troops to help King Rongliu.

Although King Rongliu is orthodox, his strength is far inferior to Yuan Dazuo.Once Yuan Dazuo sent troops, King Rongliu would inevitably seek help from the Tang Dynasty, which had already announced its support for him.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty was able to have both sides between the two divided princes of Goguryeo, waving horsewhips behind each other, allowing them to bite each other's dogs, and making Goguryeo lose its national power in the internal struggle.Datang took the opportunity to gather food, grass and economy, and prepare for another expedition.

As for the existence of the survivors from the previous dynasty, Li Shimin didn't mention a word. Apart from Qin Feng and their father and son, only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knew about it.What Li Shimin meant was to let them continue to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity to be used as surprise soldiers. Of course, Datang would send talents to serve as their staff.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin promulgated a new appointment and dismissal of personnel. First of all, Qin Feng, who had not yet taken up the post, was removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was changed to be the general manager of Youzhou, who was fully responsible for the important military and political affairs of a state. He entered Qin Feng's tent; Li Daozong, the former chief executive of Youzhou and Jiangxia king, was honored as the Minister of Rites among the six departments.

Transferred Qin Feng, the God of Killing, to Youzhou, a place bordering Goguryeo, as the chief executive. Could it be that he planned to use force against Goguryeo?In connection with Li Shimin's previous declaration to Goguryeo, this appointment and removal of personnel immediately caused a great disturbance in the court.

Since ancient times, no dynasty has been able to avoid the two main factions, the main warring faction. The main fighting faction believes that only continuous attack can make the country strong.

When Li Shimin revealed his intention to fight, the ruling peace faction in the court immediately jumped out to protest.

The first is Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, you must not. Not long ago, our army had just experienced a war with the Turks, which consumed property and has not yet recovered. The weather was bad last year, and it was not a bumper year. The warehouse is not real, which is not conducive to the use of troops!"

This statement is true, the battle is money and food, although Qin Feng's West Route Army hardly used the national treasury, it can sacrifice the pensions of the soldiers and the arrangements for the martyrs, which is not a small expenditure, plus Li Jing, Li The daily expenses of the tens of thousands of troops lost, the national treasury suddenly dried up, and the current actual situation of Datang is really not suitable for combat.

Kong Yingda, a great Confucian, couldn't help showing off a bit, straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, my celestial kingdom is based on benevolence, and foreign countries and small countries need to be educated. Besides, it is Goguryeo's internal affairs, which has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty sent troops to crusade. If you go against great virtue and righteousness, you will learn from others without a name!"

As soon as Kong Yingda's voice fell, before Li Shimin answered, Wei Zheng stepped forward. His words were stronger than Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda's: "Your Majesty, after thousands of years of great chaos, great order is necessary. Only in this way can a country The fortune of the country is prosperous. Since ancient times, it has always been like this. In the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Han Jing avoided the flames of war, paid attention to production, encouraged farming and mulberry, built water conservancy, and the people were peaceful and peaceful. There was a scene of peace in the four seas, and the peace of the world. This piece of strong Wen Jing ruled, creating a strong and powerful Han Dynasty; The development of production and the revitalization of Confucianism laid the foundation for nearly 200 years of the post-Han Dynasty. The early years of the Sui Dynasty were also like this. Governance at home and virtue abroad made foreign nations submit and rule the world. Your Majesty, the lessons learned from the past, the teacher from the past. Let’s see that Yang Guang possesses such wealth left by Yang Jian, but he has become notorious through the ages because of his military arrogance. Now that the decision is made today, he wants to open up the territory and mobilize troops again and again. This is not good for the country and not good for the people. I implore your majesty to think twice. OK!"

Wei Zheng's words can be said to be powerful and resounding, every word and every word, saliva flying all over the place.These words, whether intentional or not, were faintly intended to compare Li Shimin with Yang Guang.

But Li Shimin couldn't refute it, because Wei Zheng took history as a mirror, and every word occupied a word of "reason".The facts are actually like this. The main peace can develop the economy and make the country strong, but it can make a country's combat power low; Come up, both sides have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore, it is not a wrong choice to go to Goguryeo, but it is not wrong not to fight.However, Wei Zheng's temper was too harsh and his words were too extreme, which only made Li Shimin so angry that his lungs would explode.

Annoyed, he slapped the table heavily with his palm, and there was a loud bang, which startled everyone.

"Xu Aiqing, Kong Aiqing, Wei Aiqing, who said that I am going to start a war? Which word or sentence do I say that I am going to send troops? Tell me about it. When did I say that I am going to fight?"

"This..." Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, and Wei Zheng were dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin did not say that he would send troops.

When Li Shimin saw the three of them standing there in a daze, he was overjoyed and felt very angry. After a while, he asked and explained: "Everyone loves you too sensitively. This is just a normal personnel transfer. You don't need to pay attention to it." Too much. Youzhou has a vast land and few people, and the people's livelihood is poor. When Qin Feng served as the governor of Qingzhou and Shuofang, he managed the two places in an orderly manner, which not only reduced the burden on the court, but also paid a lot of taxes. It can be seen that Qin Feng has the ability to be the chief executive. This is one of them. As for the second, Goguryeo is in the process of seizing power, and the war is on the verge of breaking out. Youzhou and Goguryeo live next to each other. Qin Feng of Yi is sitting in Youzhou, which has the effect of deterring Xiaoxiao. Thirdly, Goguryeo has always had bad intentions against the Central Plains and has many tricks. Who can guarantee that the struggle for power is not a trick played by Goguryeo before it invaded the Tang Dynasty? ?For the above three reasons, after discussing with Fang Du, I feel that Qin Feng is the most suitable candidate. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is very important, and Qin Feng is too young. I was worried that he would not be competent, so I let him Experience in Youzhou for a period of time, and use it later.”

"Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objections." Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, and Wei Zheng withdrew. Since it was not a war, everything was easy to talk about.Thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin's arrangement is indeed very appropriate. The name of Qin Feng Rentu has spread all over the grassland. With him in charge, it is indeed more deterrent than Li Daozong.
