Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 256

Originally, I thought that Luo Yan had really grown up during this period, whether it was doing things or speaking, he had made great progress.Who would have thought that this question would really expose this kid's disposition.

Although everyone is eager to make contributions these days, they have never seen such civil servants eager to join the battlefield.

It's not that civil servants are unwilling to make contributions. It's really a matter on the battlefield, and it's not something that a group of them who manage internal affairs all day long can get involved in.If one is not good, the merits are not built, and a lot of defeats are won.There are too many precedents for this kind of thing. Whether it is Liu Wenjing or Pei Ji, there have been examples of leading troops to defeat before.

What's more, on the battlefield, people go through life and death, and sometimes they have to risk their lives.Everyone is now a high-ranking official with a generous salary, so why bother.Luo Yan was such a strange figure in his birth, and he just wanted to join in the excitement wherever he went.

Li Shimin said to Luo Yan with a dark face: "I know you have military power, but although the Turkic people's national power is weak, the elite soldiers are still very fierce. If you go to the battlefield, you may easily get into trouble."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. A general who relies on his own strength is no more than a hundred men; a good general is no more than a ten thousand enemy. He has courage outside to intimidate the enemy, and wisdom inside to defeat the enemy. Based on this, good A general can destroy a country. Although a minister is not talented, he still has a strategy in his heart. I don’t want to lead the army all the way, but I hope that people will reprimand Fang Qiu in the tent of the Chinese army.”

After hearing Luo Yan's request, Li Shimin did not directly object, but said to Luo Yan: "I have to think about this matter carefully. However, after all, military affairs are different from your usual suggestions and suggestions. I still hope that you can stay by my side and give suggestions for the people of Tang Dynasty to live well."

Although Li Shimin didn't object, what was revealed in his words was that he didn't want to let Luo Yan go.

Sighing, Luo Yan said nothing more.I hope that after a period of consideration, Li Shimin can allow himself to go.

Li Shimin is indeed a quick temper.The next day, the court announced to the courtiers its intention to go to war against the Turks.Speaking of which, this is the second time in three years that war with the Turks has been publicly discussed, but surprisingly, the voice of opposition from the courtiers this time did not become much weaker because of the passage of time.

Although the most important positions in the court were occupied by Li Shimin's confidants.But in the court, there are still some people who can be said to be courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, but in Li Shimin's heart, they cannot be regarded as hardcore ministers.And these people are often more considerate of Datang, and the voice of opposition comes from these people.

For example, Wei Zheng, the most powerful talker.He who has been in charge of the secretary supervisor is now in a prominent position, but he still won't give Li Shimin any face because Li Shimin promoted him.

"Your Majesty is such a great success, it's something that no one can take. The country has just stabilized. After this battle, the treasury must be short-lived. If you win, it's fine. If you want to lose, then after all, it will cause people's resentment. Think back to Emperor Yangdi's three campaigns. Goguryeo is the root cause of the chaos in the world. The lesson from the past is not far away, so your majesty is going to do this."

What he said made Luo Yan admire Wei Zheng secretly, it's really awesome, I dare not say these words.

What is an idol, an idol is something that you dare not or cannot do, and you respect him very much.Luo Yan is serious, and Wei Zheng, who is eloquently persuading Li Shimin at the moment, is his idol.

Of course, this is not Wei Zheng fighting alone.Some officials from the three provinces and six ministries made separate representations to Li Shimin, asking him not to be too impulsive.

At first Li Shimin accepted the criticism humbly, but since what Luo Yan said yesterday, Li Shimin, who has already been very enthusiastic, can't listen to it.Later, he got tired of listening, waved his hand, and stopped the minister who stood up to continue to dissuade him, and then said: "Okay, okay, one of you can't do it, the other can't do it, listen to what others say."

Then he nodded to the servant next to him.

The servant took a step forward, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and read: "The Tang Dynasty has been bullied by the Turks for a long time, and the people's grievances are boiling. "As Luo Yan listened, ten thousand divine beasts rushed past his heart in an instant.You have to make a statement, at least you say something yourself, and then pull me.

Li Er, you are too careless, you are so deceitful, if I can give you serious advice in the future, my surname will be lost twice.

He cursed Li Shimin secretly in his heart, but he still listened to the servant finish reading one by one.

"Who said this, it sounds very good."

"Since Your Majesty didn't even say his name, it is estimated that the general in the Land of Nether Clouds asked a literati to write it for him."

"Impossible. It is impossible to sum up these things so brilliantly without paying attention to the people's livelihood and political affairs. You Yun's generals are very familiar with the situation in Turks, but they don't understand the internal affairs at all."

"Could it be Prime Minister Du Xiang and the others. His Majesty will definitely discuss such a matter with them in advance. I didn't see any attitudes expressed by the two of them just now. If you don't speak, you are acquiescing."

"No, His Majesty said this so suddenly, Fang Xiang and Du Xiang are also in a daze. Who is it?"

Civil servants naturally discussed who wrote this passage quietly, but the general couldn't stand at this moment.

"Your Majesty, who is capable of writing this? I really want to see it. It's so damn sweet. I've been holding back the words in my heart for several years, but this person finished them in just a few sentences. I see, this The Turks must be fought. There are so many favorable factors, if we don’t win the war, we will be sorry for the people who said these words.” Cheng Zhijie said this.This can be said to be Li Shimin's absolute confidant among generals.

Don't think that Li Shimin relies heavily on Yuchi Jingde.But that's just a kind of Yuchi's respect for virtue and force. When it comes to trust, Cheng Zhijie should be ranked higher.

Cheng Zhijie smiled slightly at the servant who read the text, and said deliberately: "I'm not talking about the servant, I'm talking about the person who actually wrote this passage. Your Majesty should let him come out."

Seeing that many people have been persuaded by this passage at this time, and gradually there are no voices of opposition, Li Shimin relaxes and jokes with Cheng Zhijie. "The person who said this asked me to let him go with the army. Zhijie, tell me, should I agree to his request."

"Then I must agree. Based on this passage, there is no problem at all for him to be a recorder and join the army. If he still has a little force, it is not a problem to give him the commander of the whole army."

"Oh, you think so highly of him?"

"Hi. It's not Gao, who told him to shut up all these guys. It's a good thing to let me go out. If I don't curry favor with such a person, then I'd be stupid."

Cheng Zhijie also deliberately made jokes to reconcile the tense atmosphere in the court.Hence the conversation.

"Then I want to say, this person is Luo Yan?"

"What?" Not only Cheng Zhijie, but also other civil servants and military generals all asked in surprise, and then they recovered and bowed to Li Shimin to apologize.

With a wry smile, he never thought that Li Shimin would sell him so soon.At this moment, he could only go out and say: "That day, I accompanied Your Majesty to see Jieli by the Weishui Bridge. Back then, when the Turkic civil strife broke out, I was the one who prevented the princes from asking for a fight. With such a forbearance and concession, you really think I am a fool." Is Yan that bloodless coward?"

Those words made the hall quiet.

"It's not easy for the master to humiliate his officials and die through the ages. At that time, the banks of the Weishui River faced each other across Tianjin, and I wished I could drive a long car through the gaps in the Yinshan Mountains. But the state affairs are not stable, and all impulses can only lead to turmoil in the Tang Dynasty. After the Turkic civil strife, then There was not much internal friction, at that time there were constant natural disasters in the country and people were unstable, forcing a war would only cause greater internal turmoil, and I went up to block it again."

"Nowadays, the government treasury is full, and the folks store wealth, which is enough to consume in a war without hurting their vitality. Therefore, there is a theory that eight victories and eight defeats are just now. It has been three years since I endured the humiliation. If I can't go to the battlefield in person to avenge my shame, wouldn't it be my life?" pity."

After some impassioned speeches, he originally thought that Li Shimin would agree to his request.Who would have thought that Li Shimin hadn't made a statement yet, and Yu Chigong came out first to stop him and said, "The Luo Sheren should serve His Majesty with peace of mind, and teach my little bastard well by the way. Although I know you have some courage, but fighting the Turks requires more Be careful of their random arrows, you are still far behind on this point."

"Yeah, even if you know a little about military strategy, but you haven't participated in a formal war after all, accidents will inevitably happen."

"Don't say you understand military strategy. The generals I'm waiting for who can lead the army are not familiar with military books. Even if you join the army, you won't have a point. Luo boy, you'd better stay in Chang'an."

"Yeah, the military strategy is not good, the force is not good, it is definitely a burden to take you with you. On the battlefield, I will personally kill a few Turkic people to relieve your anger. In the end, I will definitely capture Na Jieli and let you spit out a few mouthfuls. "

"That's right, fighting is the business of us warriors. Don't meddle with you as a white-faced scholar. Teach my children well. When I come back, I'll treat you to drink the best wine and sleep with the best girl."

In an instant, the Tai Chi Hall became a place where the military generals looked down upon Luo Yan.Obviously, these guys are not optimistic about Luo Yan.

Although he was very touched that these guys cared about his own safety, but also because of these guys, Li Shimin became more determined not to let him go out of Chang'an.

Could it be that he really wants to make his ring task doomed to fail?This is not going to work, this is absolutely not going to work.Another battle against the Turks in my memory was in the 16th year of Zhenguan. The distance between the two is so far away, and what is the difference between being destined to be alone for a lifetime.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Yan stepped back and said nothing more.Li Shimin and all the officials thought that he had retreated in spite of the difficulties, but what Luo Yan was thinking at the moment was, you don't like me, do you?Okay, if the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat. If you don't prove my ability, you people will really underestimate me to death.
