Chapter 112 The East Palace Discusses the Weishui Peace Talks

Luo Yan didn't know about the affairs in the court, because at this moment, he was still in front of the leisurely Secretary of Economics Bureau literature.Unlike Fang Xuanling and the others, they jumped from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and then from the fourth rank to the third rank in just one month, and became a winner in life all at once.Luo Yan still guards the one-acre three-point land of the Bureau of Economics and Economics, and reads every day.What serving the article, Li Shimin is so busy at this time, how can he think of the article.

But such comfortable days came to an abrupt end today.

Li Shimin pretended to be awesome in the Hall of Xiande, but if he really wanted to face the Turkic army, he still had to gather people to discuss it.No, Li Shimin had been reminded by Yuchi Jingde's sentence earlier, so naturally Li Shimin would not forget Luo Yan, the young man hidden in the pile of books.

This time it was a collective meeting of civil and military affairs, and it was held in the East Palace. The people who came were all Li Shimin's close ministers.

Luo Yan, as the only one among these people who participated in the Xuanwumen Incident but was not eligible to go to the early court, was joked by several acquaintances as soon as he came in.

It was Cheng Zhijie who started first, and I don't know where this acquaintance came from. Seeing Luo Yan enter the hall, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Isn't this Luo Wenxue? I said, when will you let that idiot Yu Chigong Walk around Chang'an with your back on your back. I've been waiting for almost two months, why haven't you made any movement at all?"

What he said made many people around him roll their eyes.This guy just looked at Yu Chigong in Jingyang and wouldn't turn against him on the spot, so he dared to say that.Anyway, when Yu Chigong came, he refused to admit it, so what could he do.

Luo Yan wouldn't be fooled, and said with a smile on his face: "General Cheng, I'm just joking around for a while, so why does the general take it seriously." Luo Yan's words made many people feel good about him.After all, Yu Chigong is the great general of Marquis Youwu, if he really wanted to carry Luo Yan around Chang'an, it would not be Yuchigong alone who would lose face.The entire Datang army will be ashamed of this.If some caring people make use of it again, it may become an excuse for civil servants to suppress generals.

Gazing at Cheng Zhijie, these people greeted Luo Yan to sit down with smiles on their faces.

Although these people are now high-ranking officials, and there are at least a dozen top-ranking third-rank officials here, but these people did not despise Luo Yan, a seventh-rank literature.

why?In terms of writing, the strategy that he contributed to Li Shimin before does not need to be much worse than these civil servants.In terms of martial arts, although they are not as good as generals like Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, they can defeat Li Shimin's personal guard captain with a horizontal knife, and saved Li Shimin's life during the Xuanwumen Incident, and easily harvested Li Yuanji head.This kind of credit, if thrown to anyone casually, the current status is definitely not low.

Who knew that Luo Yan was such a weirdo, that he greeted Li Shimin before the incident, so as not to let himself get lucky.

At the beginning, Luo Yan was banned from the Department of Economics and Literature, which confused everyone. After all, he saved Li Shimin's life. How could he be so stingy? officer.Knowing that one day when Changsun Wuji was chatting with Li Shimin, Li Shimin said with emotion that Luo Yan is really not in love with power. Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to ask a few words, and only then did he know the reason.

The news came from Changsun Wuji's mouth, even if he didn't spread it, someone else would spread it in the future.Li Shimin himself can't stand others saying that he is ungrateful.Such high-mindedness immediately wiped away Luo Yan's youthful imprint in people's hearts.Look at others, this is treating fame and wealth like dung.

So even though Luo Yan is a seventh-rank official, when Li Shimin discusses privately, his position is actually higher than some fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials.Sitting next to Changsun Wuji, he greeted Changsun Wuji with a smile: "I haven't seen Changsun Shangshu for a long time, and I feel more energetic."

Knowing that it was Luo Yan making fun of him for being promoted, Changsun Wuji still smiled and replied: "You don't need to go in, I just spend all day in the Bureau of Economics and Economics, and no one is watching, so I am at ease. Although I have been promoted, But with a lot of work all day long, you can't even eat well, and you can't sleep well, between gains and losses, how can you say that you are as good as you."

This is really not Changsun Wuji being hypocritical.As Minister of the Ministry of Officials, besides the Ministry of War, he is the busiest department these days.Assessing the merits of officials from various places, and the promotion and dismissal of officials in charge, because many people under Li Shimin's subordinates are involved, so all forces must be carefully considered. It is definitely a very brain-intensive thing.

"Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are fine. Why bother about this every day, the eldest grandson Shangshu? The system in the period of the Supreme Emperor is already very complete. Now it is just a transition. Why be so tired and make everyone panic all day long." Luo Yan said this It is also pointed out that after Li Shimin came to power, he generously rewarded his subordinates, so that someone had to give up his position. Randomly, many people were replaced inexplicably, and some people were promoted inexplicably. The people also began to complain about this matter.

Hearing Luo Yan's usual lazy approach, Changsun Wuji thought about it, and nodded his head in praise: "Jinzhi is deeply rooted in the essence of Huang Lao. It's just that, if you are like this, Mr. Lu will not clean up." You?" Accepting Luo Yan's suggestion, Changsun Wuji didn't mind joking with Luo Yan, so he talked about Luo Yan's status as a Confucian scholar and Huang Lao's political thinking.

"Whether it is Huang Lao or Confucianism, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, use it. I, the children of Confucianism, just can't hold the views of the sect, or sooner or later there will be a new school to replace us. Not to mention anything else, now Legalism is very popular, so we are going to stop it. It is good for the country, it is benevolence." Speaking of the recent reading experience, Luo Yan also felt refreshed. During the low tide period of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Confucian children desperately hoped to return to the center of power.This is indeed a good thing, but with the urgency of the mind, a lot of radical remarks have been produced, which is not a good thing for the better development of Confucianism.

Hearing Luo Yan's cognition, the eldest grandson Wuji, who is also a Confucian scholar, was also shocked by some of Luo Yan's thoughts at this time.This is the truth that can only be understood after entering the center of power. As a seventh-rank literature, Luo Yan has such insight, which is really rare.

So not only sighed: "I might as well go in."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but talk more, Li Shimin had already entered at this time.

Sitting on the main seat, Li Shimin said: "Today's gathering is to discuss the peace talks on the banks of the Weishui River in the future. What do you guys think, let's talk about it, and we will discuss it later."

As the head of Li Shimin's staff, Du Ruhui was the first to speak: "Now the peace negotiation is a foregone conclusion. Today's discussion is nothing more than who will go, how to arrange it, and what conditions are there. Since Jieli came personally, and His Majesty became a brother with him a few years ago, Naturally, His Majesty wants to go there in person. It's just..." Du Ruhui hesitated to speak at this time, after all, Jieli came here with hundreds of thousands of horses, and Li Shimin's going was too dangerous.

At this time, Li Shimin showed a bit of arrogance: "It's okay, it's best for me to go. Du Qing continued."

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with going forward. However, if there is no large army to suppress, I am afraid that Jieli will really go back on his word, and I will die when the time comes."

This is difficult for many people.You must know that there are tens of thousands of troops left in Chang'an at this time. If they really fight, they will definitely lose more and win less.

After a long silence, Luo Yan opened his mouth: "My minister has an idea, but I don't know if His Majesty dares to give it a try."

Luo Yan's voice attracted everyone's attention, and Li Shimin was naturally happy that someone had figured out a way, whether it was risky or not, listen first before speaking.

After getting Li Shimin's permission, Luo Yan began to talk: "Although the number of Turks here is not a million, there are still 20. On both sides of the Wei River, although the terrain is flat, there are also ups and downs. On that day, Your Majesty chooses one or two generals who are highly skilled in martial arts to accompany you, and go to the Weishui Bridge to negotiate peace with Jieli. I will wait for Chang'an soldiers, with Xuanjia elite soldiers as the leader, Qianniu guards as the second, and other troops as the last. Chen Bing Weishui. Afterwards, people will arrange troops and horses in the undulating terrain, and place military flags all over the place. In this way, it will create the illusion that the enemy and our forces are equal, or even our forces are even stronger, which can deter Xieli. As for Your Majesty, you can quickly call General Yuchi returned to the capital, and with the momentum of a great victory, he will frighten the enemy's army, and in this way, he can protect His Majesty's peace negotiations to the greatest extent possible."

Luo Yan's method is not without risk.Why, pull out all the troops in Chang'an City, once the Turks break their promises and start attacking directly, then there will be no way back, and the possibility of defending Chang'an will be greatly reduced.

As soon as Luo Yan's remark came out, many people unexpectedly raised objections, even the eldest grandson Wuji expressed his opposition to Luo Yan's suggestion with an apologetic expression on his face.

However, the real master is Li Shimin, so Luo Yan is just watching what Li Shimin thinks at this time.

Before Li Shimin could open his mouth, Du Ruhui said, "This plan is feasible." With the support of Du Ruhui, who is known for his decisiveness, the others naturally no longer objected. Even Li Shimin, after carefully thinking about Luo Yan's method, heard Du Ruhui agreed, and also said: "In the current situation, it is impossible not to take risks, so let's do it like this."

Now that the general plan is established, the next step is to discuss who should accompany Li Shimin.One person has already been decided, and that is Yu Chigong. This guy just defeated the Turks once, and he will definitely shock many people after he goes up.But the other is hard to say.Do you want to send a general to follow?

This won't work. When people see it, you are obviously afraid. You have two generals by your side. Since you are so afraid of death, then come and do it.So such a person is really hard to find.

Someone said, why can't I find a military general, wear the clothes of a civil servant, and follow him.But this is really underestimating Xieli's IQ. People who have been on the battlefield are definitely very sensitive to similar smells.

Seeing that the quarrel had turned into a pot of porridge, Luo Yan couldn't help it, stood up and said to Li Shimin: "If your majesty trusts me, then let me go."

Suddenly there was silence.

　The second watch has already been written in tears, thank you Jianglangshan Xia Dachenzi for your reward.Xiaodao once again knelt down to beg for recommendation and collection, woohoo, I went to Sanjiang, and I really want to get a thousand recommendations every day.
