Chapter 182

In fact, the debate among the ministers during this period has poured a lot of cold water on Li Shimin's fiery heart.After careful consideration, Li Shimin himself felt that it was not the best time to launch a war against the Turks.However, a considerable part of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty is now trying to promote the dispatch of troops, so Li Shimin is still hesitating.

When I saw Fang Xuanling, I thought it would be another long speech like the other ministers.Who would have thought that Fang Xuanling would say this time: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by Luo Yan. Oh, there are also some documents that I found from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Although Fang Xuanling was not the vanguard who opposed sending troops, as Li Shimin's right-hand man, his opinion must be taken seriously by Li Shimin.Seeing a stack of papers in his hand at this moment, he took them with a wry smile, and asked, "What did Luo Yan say? He couldn't wait for something like this to happen."

Li Shimin's impression of Luo Yan also stayed at the level of a strong response to a disagreement.Li Shimin has cleaned up the mess for Luo Yan several times, and he has quite a say in Luo Yan.

Who knew that Fang Xuanling just smiled, but didn't speak, his eyes were on the memorial in Li Shimin's hand.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's smile, Li Shimin knew that there might be something wrong with Luo Yan.So, I hurriedly opened the memorial, wanting to see what was going on.

Different from the endless parallel prose of other ministers, Luo Yan's memorials are always so straightforward that Li Shimin doesn't have to think about it at all.That is to say, there are about [-] words in the memorial, and Li Shimin read it after a few glances.Putting down the memorandum, Li Shimin sighed and laughed at himself: "It seems that I have done too much for him to finish things, and I have regarded him as a fool like Yuchi Jingde. He sees this kind of problem more clearly than I do." .”

After talking about the documents brought by Fang Xuanling, Yang Yang said, "I don't need to read it, just tell me that the treasury's situation is better now."

Li Shimin's meaning was already obvious, Fang Xuanling didn't talk nonsense, and said: "The granaries in the Guanzhong prefectures are empty, and there is no replenishment until the autumn harvest. In addition, this year's severe drought in Shandong has given away a lot of money and food, and the treasury is also a little tight. Also To make offerings to the Turks, speaking of the army fighting for three months, it is really like what Luo Yan said, unless the Turkic tents are sealed and Xieli is brought to Chang'an, we will suffer a crushing defeat."

Hearing such news, Li Shimin was a little silent.Maybe he was lost in thought about something, and after a long time, he sighed: "Oh, I missed this time, and I don't know if I can calm down the Turks in one fell swoop in my lifetime."

The Weishui alliance has brought too much shame to Li Shimin.After returning to the palace, Li Shimin organized a group of soldiers to train bow horses every day.Even he himself went up to demonstrate and act as a teacher for these soldiers.Isn't it for the purpose of being able to accumulate strength and sweep the Turks away?

Now, if you ignore other things and only look at the Turkic situation, it is indeed the best opportunity to attack.

The two reasons given to him by the unborn student Luo Yan made him somewhat unable to get around.If the external war cannot be accomplished in one battle, the internal instability will be even greater.How to balance, Li Shimin still knows a lot.

With this sigh, Li Shimin seemed to have aged several years.

Fang Xuanling looked at his distraught look, and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be depressed? Thinking that there are a large number of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and your Majesty has worked hard to govern, in a few years, when the Turks recover to complete victory, I will wait for the time to spare." If you come, you can also defeat it. Why should you lose your mind because of this little thing."

"What's more, now that Turkic civil strife has occurred, we just need to divide and dissolve it. Turkic wants to return to its heyday, and that is just a luxury."

As expected, Fang Xuanling was good at strategy, and immediately thought of a plan to deal with it in the future.

Hearing such comfort, Li Shimin regained his spirits.After her complexion improved a lot, she said to Fang Xuanling: "I'll keep Luo Yan's memorial first. After you go back, take a good look at the documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Let's settle this matter thoroughly tomorrow morning. "

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Fang Xuanling resigned knowingly.Only Li Shimin was left alone, unconsciously muttering: "Bear the humiliation, bear the humiliation..."

Morning the next day.

As always, after dealing with some necessary affairs, the courtiers started arguing again about whether to go on an expedition.

This time Li Shimin didn't continue to listen patiently, but someone started talking, so he stopped drinking.Then he threw out Luo Yan's memorabilia and asked the servant to read it, and then called Fang Xuanling out regardless of the fact that many people came out of the shift and wanted to refute.

"Fang Zhongshu, tell me about the situation reported by the Ministry of Finance."

Fang Xuanling, who had prepared long ago, heard Li Shimin's words, and read out the numbers he had prepared all night one by one.Many generals who are capable of being the commander-in-chief of the army are naturally very good at the figures of money and food.How much food the army eats in a month, and how much logistics costs, compared it in my heart, I really found that this battle cannot be fought.

"These figures were sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs at the beginning of the month, and there is no falsehood. Many people in Guanzhong have been abandoned this year, and Shandong has experienced a severe drought. The tax revenue can only be paid to the south of the Yangtze River. If we want to prevent natural disasters next year, these taxes cannot be tampered with." Said. Wanfang Xuanling summed up this sentence, which can be regarded as completely breaking the dreams of many people.

Nodding his head, Li Shimin glanced at the courtiers who were still in a daze, and said, "That's all for now. Let's wait until the autumn harvest is over and we'll see what happens." Apparently Li Shimin still had some fantasies. Let's talk about the situation.

Seeing that Li Shimin had already made a decision, and what Fang Xuanling said, many people couldn't refute it.So I had no choice but to give up, so far, the conquest of Turks came to an end.

Far away in Youzhou, the Governor's Mansion received the news within a few days after the court meeting.Knowing that the news of not being able to go out is already depressing enough, but I didn't expect that even more sad things are yet to come.The chief culprit who disappointed everyone was actually Sima from the Governor's Mansion.

So Luo Yan started his difficult journey in Youzhou.

Ordinary soldiers rarely want to fight.After all, as they directly charge into the battle, they will die when they arrive on the battlefield.Therefore, many people who are directly under Luo Yan's management are actually okay.

The first one to regard Luo Yan as an enemy was Wang Junkuo.

If you don't fight this time, how do you get your merits?Although in Youzhou, he has the power for a while, he can do whatever he wants.But how can it compare to the comfort in Chang'an.

What's more, the governor basically only has the right to train soldiers on weekdays, and Li Xuandao has to get the consent of Li Xuandao to do anything with the soldiers.Being unlucky to Li Xuandao and not dealing with him, doesn't that make him uncomfortable.It's not like those generals in Beijing, there are five people and six people, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food.

Wang Junkuo, who was extremely upset, scolded Luo Yan when he saw Luo Yan.If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yan was Li Shimin's favorite, Wang Junkuo would have done it long ago.

On this day, Wang Junkuo officially received the imperial court's order, and strictly ordered all Zhechong prefectures to step up military training and not to attack without authorization.Wang Junkuo just let people read it once, and then disappointedly asked people to invite many Zhechong generals under the governor's mansion in Youzhou.But in two days, after everyone has come, Wang Junkuo can pull Luo Yan over, and then ask someone to read every word in the mansion newspaper without missing a word.

The contents of the mansion newspaper are basically based on the content of the court meeting that day, even a section of Luo Yan's memorabilia was transcribed.

After reading the residence report, Wang Junkuo looked at Luo Yan coldly again, and said with a smile: "As Luo Sima wished, I will follow His Majesty's orders all the time. However, we are not done with this matter. After the autumn harvest, I will write the letter again Please fight. Mother, such a good opportunity was delayed by scholars like you."

Facing Wang Junkuo's sarcastic remarks again, Luo Yan didn't say anything.Because everyone in the hall was staring at him at this time, if he said anything more, his life might be in danger.Luo Yan thought to himself that he didn't have such a powerful mouth, and he could speak convincingly to these martial arts who regarded meritorious deeds as parents.

And after Wang Junkuo pointed at Luo Yan's nose and cursed, the whole hall was full of noise.Especially seeing that Luo Yan didn't say a word, just listening to Wang Junkuo's scolding like that, many generals became more and more wanton.They all put the most vicious words they could think of on Luo Yan.

After scolding for a long while, these people were tired of scolding, so Wang Junkuo gave up.

The scene that happened in the Governor's Mansion was quickly spread by interested people.And as Wang Junkuo's attitude towards him became more and more obvious, many people put their displeasure with Luo Yan on the table.

Needless to say, Wang Junkuo, some military generals in the Dudu's Mansion are very low.Sometimes when they met Luo Yan, they would raise eyebrows and raise eyebrows, and they didn't take him seriously at all.Even low-ranking officers could not even salute Luo Yan when they saw him, and treated him like air.

Unfortunately, I have no place to reason.

Even if he sued Wang Junkuo, no one would testify for him, and in the end it was nothing more than making a fuss.

The generals of the Dudu Mansion are already like this.The attitude of the generals in the local Zhechong Mansion was even more extreme. The military situation was deliberately concealed, or it was just a delay.Sima, who can't get timely and effective information, is just a paperworker.Some simply reported to Wang Junkuo what Luo Yan was responsible for, and ignored Luo Yan at all.

Regarding these things, Luo Yan kept them in mind one by one.Although I blocked the way for these people to get promoted and get rich, fundamentally speaking, Luo Yan did nothing wrong.Since he was right, the more tolerable Luo Yan's violent temper was, the more it proved how full of anger he was.

But now I am a loner, Wang Junkuo, Li Xuandao and various Zhechong mansions, these people have offended themselves over and over again.Biansheng himself is not as powerful as Lan Tian now.Then we can only wait for that opportunity to deal with these people one by one through the power of the court.

 Thank you Mobei Wolf and Tianxin Luoyu for your rewards. Although there are so many small coins in front of you to tempt Xiaodao, but the time limit, you can't get them if you want to.I'm going to cry.
