My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 281: Is the Lord Protector Really Such a God?Gossamer's target!

"How is this possible"

Wei Zheng still wants to refute, because this is too absurd.

Let the Tang army go to finish?

Who will fight the tough battle?
It can't be that those prairie countries have their own civil war and kill themselves, right?
It is too absurd!

However, before he finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted:

"This is the Lord Protector's method!"

"He already has a way. He can delay the time until the end of spring plowing, and he can also completely decline the entire Altun Grassland!"

Lord Protector!
As soon as these three words appeared from Li Shimin's mouth, the entire Ganlu Palace fell into a rare silence, only gasps!
At this moment, all the ministers had only two thoughts in their minds.

Why is it him again! ?

Why is it still him! !

"Please Your Majesty!"

Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Su who had just returned from Liaodong, couldn't help standing up and asked directly:
"That Lord Protector, who is he?"

Because he had guarded Liaodong for a period of time, he had always had a lot of speculation about the titular Lord of Liaodong, and wanted to meet him.

After all, this young man who is only in his teens has mastered such a vast land of Liaodong.

If anyone knew about it, they would inevitably be curious and want to have a relationship.

He thought that when the protector came to Liaodong to accept the fiefdom, he would be able to know the identity of the protector first.

Unexpectedly, until he came back to Chang'an, Lord Protector had never been to the land of Liaodong once!
This is so outrageous!
Throughout history, he has never seen such a Buddhist duke!

It is really strange to let the fief stay there and eat ashes without enjoying the glory and wealth.

Especially recently, Lord Huguo is still running a special blacksmith shop in Chang'an City, and the youngsters in Cheng Zhijie's family were secretly encouraged by pig friends to make hundreds of cards.

Now it is time to plan the Altyn Grassland again.

Where is he holy?

Cheng Zhijie couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, do you already know the identity of the Lord Protector?"

The other ministers were also extremely nervous, staring at Li Shimin and the Great Tang Emperor intently.

Could it be that His Majesty has long known the mysterious Lord Protector?
Then, what I did before, wouldn't it all be exposed under the eyes of Duke Huguo?

Is he giving money to Duke Protector, or is he cheating on him?
They are lost.

And Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others were also slightly shocked.

Could it be that His Majesty is about to show his cards to everyone?
Feeling the uneasy eyes of everyone, Li Shimin chuckled and shook his head:
"You think too much, I don't know."

"Actually, it's the matter of Tuguhun, which has already been widely spread in Chang'an City."

"After the Lord Protector knew about it, he quietly sent the scheme to Jingzhao Mansion before January."

"I was cautious before and planned to try it first, so I didn't announce it immediately."

"And now, he has achieved initial results."

Show the real identity of the big dog to everyone?
terribly sorry.

Unless Li Shimin really had cerebral palsy, he would never do that.

It wasn't because he was worried about the safety of the big dog. With that guy's dark personality, who could take advantage of him?
It's because if you do that, it's basically putting many aristocratic families on the fire.

The big dog didn't know his true identity, so he had already cleaned up these aristocratic families to the point of crying.

If you know your true identity, you will definitely do whatever you want!

Moreover, Wang Yuan is in the dark, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"This method is actually very simple."

Immediately, Li Shimin recounted Wang Yuan's plan in an orderly manner.

After hearing this, many ministers were all dumbfounded!
God!

Although it is just a retelling, through Li Shimin's description, everyone can still feel the confidence and terror of Duke Huguo!
Although he is in Chang'an City, he knows the internal affairs of the grassland countries like the back of his hand!
With just a few words, all the difficulties can be solved!

Whether it is Tuguhun, Xue Yantuo, or Xitujue, they have all become pawns in his hands, life and death depend on his will!

Some of these things, even the officials responsible for collecting intelligence, are completely unaware of them.

Just like the civil strife in Western Turks.

While everyone was thinking about how to repel the Tuguhun coalition forces and how to save the people of Liangzhou, Duke Huguo was already preparing to annex the entire Altun Grassland.

Your ministers have no doubts about the viability of this plan.

After all, His Majesty has already said that it has achieved initial results.

What does it mean?
Obviously, that running wolf totem had already appeared in Tuguhun King City, causing a sensation!
And the effect is extraordinary!

Such a god-man, you still want to cheat him?
In an instant, the ministers of many aristocratic families could bow their heads in shame, deeply annoyed.

If it was said that there was still a little luck in their hearts before, then they are all desperate now.

Although I don't know what method the Huguo Gong used to greatly reduce the production cost of ironware.

But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, they will lose.

And I'm afraid it won't be long before the Silk Road will reopen!
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts began to beat violently again!

Although their positions in the imperial court are different, they are still proud of their status as courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

It is the luck of each of them to be born in such a great era!
Before Fu Yun was so oppressive, everyone held a deep breath in their hearts!

And now, this tone can finally come out!
Soon, Datang will launch an unprecedented super counterattack, defeating all enemies!
Seeing everyone's gradually rising emotions, Li Shimin was also very happy:
"This time, I will take down the entire Altun Grassland and let the Silk Road go through!"

"How dare you provoke my Tang Dynasty, then let them pay the price in blood!"

"This time, we're going to kill until the grassland is lingering with blood for three years!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he received excited responses from many ministers!
Especially those generals, all of them are full of enthusiasm. They can't wait to fuck the guys immediately and rush to the battlefield to avenge their shame!
The humiliation of Liangzhou must be paid by Tu Guhun with blood!
And when everyone was very excited, a person suddenly stood up, frowning.

"Your Majesty, I do have a doubt. I wonder if the Lord Protector mentioned a solution?"

He is Gao Shilian, the Minister of Rites who just took office, who is also the uncle of Empress Changsun.

He was demoted to Shu because he had seized the secret decree privately and failed to convey it to His Majesty.

Later, due to the rapid expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the decline of the Qinghe Cui family, Li Shimin needed more ministers to enrich the court, so Gao Shilian was asked to return to Chang'an City to serve as the Minister of Rites.

If Wang Yuan knew about this, he would definitely lament the terrifying power of historical revision again.

Gao Shilian was supposed to return to Zhenguan five years ago, but now it was more than a year earlier.

He changed a lot of things, but more things still happened according to the original track.

"Even if my Tang Dynasty annexes Tuguhun, Xueyantuo, and even Western Turks."

"But in the face of such a vast territory, how should my Tang Dynasty manage it?"

"The Altyn Grassland, although the area is much smaller than my Tang Dynasty, it is probably vast!"

"At that time, how should we deal with the conflicts and destabilizing factors among the grassland ethnic groups?"

"Your Majesty, the expansion of the territory is indeed a good thing for my Great Tang, but if these expanded territories are all unstable areas, and my Great Tang can't reach them, I'm afraid it will only cause disasters!"

Like Cheng Zhijie, Gao Shilian did not distort anything, and directly hit the topic across the board.

As a veteran minister who participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change, but left Chang'an in the first year of Zhenguan and was demoted to Shu.

His reaction to this Lord Protector who appeared out of nowhere was different from other ministers.

Others are admired, but he is very unconvinced!
As a founding hero, he was also the uncle of Empress Changsun, but because of some small mistakes, he was demoted from Chang'an and went to Shu.

However, this Lord Protector was only in his teens, and before he even showed his real body, he was granted the title of Duke, and the fief even occupied more than half of Liaodong!
How can Gao Shilian be convinced by this?

Why is he?
"I dare to ask, is there any solution for these problems, Lord Protector, or Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the Ganlu Palace fell silent!
Many eyes, with surprise and astonishment, looked at Gao Shilian.

Obviously, no one would have thought that Gao Shilian, who had just returned, would refute Li Shimin in public and question the Duke Hu Guo.

He is different from Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng's writing is his job, and everyone is used to it.

But Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun.

It is self-evident what it means to refute Li Shimin so sharply in public.

Li Shimin looked at Gao Shilian, not showing any emotion on the surface, but in his heart he was already suffering from a headache.

When he dismissed Gao Shilian and went to Sichuan, he saw that after the Xuanwu Gate incident, he gradually became arrogant and defiant, even doing such things as detaining secret decrees.

Disappointed, Li Shimin dismissed him to Shu and wanted him to change.

In the end, it didn't come to fruition. After several years, he came out to refute himself as soon as he came back.

"This year's spring examination has passed, how many Jinshi have been admitted?" Li Shimin asked tentatively.

"Report to His Majesty."

Gao Shilian cupped his hands and responded:
"Thirty-five people have been admitted."

"Now, they have been assigned to various state capitals."

"Where is the East Test that will be reported?"

Li Shimin frowned.

The East Examination is the examination held in Luoyang.

"It's not over yet, but the number of applicants is double that of the spring test."

"It is estimated that there are already seventy Jinshi."

35 plus seventy is just one hundred and five.

Li Shimin did some mental calculations, and then he started to have a headache.

In fact, this number is already exaggerated.

You must know that in the second year of Zhenguan, there were only a dozen Jinshi in the whole year.

After opening the books and setting up the Eastern Examination, the number of Jinshi has increased significantly, and official positions are no longer in the hands of the major families.

It can be said that it is already a remarkable thing that the reform has achieved such an effect at the very beginning.

It's a pity that for the current Datang, it's too much for a drop in the bucket.

Li Shimin never dreamed that one day he would be troubled because the territory was too large and no one could manage it.

"Then what happens if you use the method of subduing East Turkistan before and use wool trade to bind it?"

Since the adoption of the wool trade of the big dog family, the situation in East Turkistan has basically stabilized, and there are very few people making trouble.

The Western Turks and the Eastern Turks were originally one country, but they were divided because of the sage Khan Sui Wendi. Can similar countermeasures be adopted?

"impossible."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Shilian shook his head in denial.

"The population of our Tang Dynasty is limited, and the wool purchased from East Turks every year is enough for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty to use."

"If there is more wool, it may be difficult to consume, and it will only cause accumulation."

"Your Majesty, can the Lord Protector solve this problem?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin fell silent, and looked at Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, do you have anything to say?"

"My Majesty, I have nothing to say."

Although he knew that Gao Shilian was questioning Duke Protector, Changsun Wuji could only smile helplessly.

Because he really couldn't think of any other way, not even a suggestion.

Then a large piece of territory is about to be acquired suddenly, how will Datang rule?
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng... and other important officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Without exception, all were silent.

Although the Tang Dynasty is now in its heyday, it is limited by the times and vision.

The only way they can think of is to send troops to station.

In fact, before this, every dynasty was like this.

Wang Yuan's wool trade is already challenging their limit imagination, and it is a blessing to be able to understand.

For this situation, will the Duke Protector really have a solution?

"I don't know if there is any way to deal with Duke Protector."

"But there's really nothing I can do about it."

Li Shimin didn't force himself when he couldn't get any advice or reply, and he admitted it openly.

"However, it's too early to say these things. It's better to attack the Western Turks, Tuguhun, and Xue Yantuo first."

"You can think about it after you go back."

"Go back!"

Seeing Li Shimin's announcement of resignation, many ministers withdrew from the Ganlu Hall one after another.

Gao Shilian didn't stay any longer. After saluting respectfully, he left here.

His purpose is mainly to target Duke Huguo, to expose the myth of his omnipotence, and to drag this man of God in the hearts of the Tang people down from the altar.

Now that the purpose has been preliminarily completed, he will naturally not entangle any more.

Young prince?

I want to see how much real ability you have!

Gao Shilian snorted inwardly, and left quickly.

And Li Shimin looked at his back, calmly disappeared, and couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

"How should this be done?"

Everyone retreated, and Datang, the super war machine, also started to work.

Although it is not clear how to solve the management problem, but let's call first!

If even Duke Hu has no choice, at worst, loose management.

Anyway, for the tiger of the Western Turks, beating it to half-death will do no harm to the entire Tang Dynasty!
