Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 170
Tai Chi Temple.

The eunuch's long and sharp voice sounded in the court hall. Li Shimin wore a dragon robe embroidered with gold thread and walked up to the hall.Surrounded by maids of honor, eunuchs clear the way, majestic.

Striding to sit on the dragon chair, the tiger's eyes pass through the crown and hang down the jade beads to look down at the courtiers, feeling a little puzzled.

In the past, most of the ministers' eyes were full of worry, but today they all looked ruddy and refreshed.Is it possible that the political achievements are smooth and there is no obstacle?

Thinking about this, Li Shimin smiled slightly on his face, losing some of his usual majesty, he lowered his big hand to signal to all the officials to avoid courtesy, and his Zhongzheng voice slowly swayed.

"Dear dear ones, seeing that the cold winter is approaching, how do you pay taxes and food in various places?"

Hubu Shangshu walked out of the group of officials, stepped up to the main hall, shook his sleeves and bowed in salute.

"Your Majesty, the taxes and grains are paid smoothly, and the land in the south matures early, and the harvest is abundant, filling the vacancy of the flood in the north."

Li Shimin had a strong smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said loudly.

"Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, many people in the imperial city have pre-stocked firewood and are beaming with joy."

"But I'm really worried about the people in the western borderlands in my heart. I regret that they were born in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but they can't be as harmonious and beautiful as thousands of families."

"The Western Expedition is imminent, and the warm spring is about to start, but my heart is worried!"

The happy look on his face dissipated before, and turned into a look of solemnity. Li Shimin crossed his arms and pointed to the generals on the right, showing a touch of sadness.

"In the past, they fought bloody battles for the Great Tang Dynasty. Now most of them have gray temples and are old."

"At the moment when the young talents of the younger generations should have emerged, there were not a few young figures in the huge hall. The military generals were not accepted, and the successors of the Tang military generals were worrying!"

After the words fell, the officials in the court could not help but look at each other, and then silently lowered their heads.

Gao Shilian took steady steps, stood up, and cupped his hands towards the Dragon Seat.

"Your Majesty, the young talents of the Tang Dynasty are actually not bad in training on the school grounds. Now it is only the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and there are few battles that have not been shown."

"What's more, our old bones are still strong, so what's the harm in fighting the world for His Majesty for a few more years?"

The sonorous words, revealing a confidence that the sword is not old, attracted applause and applause from the generals in the court.

Li Shimin didn't have much joy on his face, he pressed down his palms to calm down the noise in the hall, and then he continued.

"As a soldier, you should go to the battlefield and face the mountains of swords and fires. How can you survive with the protection of your elders?"

"This battle against Tuyuhun is led by veteran Li Jing. I want to recruit new soldiers, let these soldiers go to the battlefield to sharpen them, and gradually forge them into a sharp sword that will deter the world!"

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Leading troops to fight is the easiest shortcut to obtain meritorious service, especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it seems to be cherished.

For civil servants, it has little impact on their careers, and everyone is calm and there is not much change.The generals on the other side of the big point had mixed expressions, some were disappointed, some were annoyed, and some secretly nodded in agreement.

For a while in the court hall, there were some noisy voices coming from the side of the generals. Li Shimin watched them for a long time, and he could clearly understand their state of mind.He waved with a smile, motioning the officials to quiet down.

"Everyone is tired from fighting in the east and west, so it's just a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate your self-cultivation."

"The martial arts performance is over, Cheng Aiqing and Li Aiqing are evenly matched, and they each go their own way."

"Cheng Chumo has made great contributions in handling the disaster in the north this time, so he will serve as a lieutenant general under Cheng Aiqing. In addition, the Suqing Festival youth stays at the side, setting an example for our young talents in the Tang Dynasty, so he belongs to Li Aiqing's command. Learn some marching essentials!"

With merits in front of his eyes, even if some courtiers refuse to accept, they can only hold it in their hearts.

Li Shimin glanced at the silent officials and waved his hands.

"Even if there is no objection, the two soldiers and horses will be considered a decision."

After a pause, Li Shimin continued.

"Li Xian helped Sinong Temple to improve the plows this time, which is beneficial to farming and mulberry. The contribution is indispensable. This son has also made achievements in mathematics. He is a strange talent in the Tang Dynasty. He should sharpen his temper and go to the military camp to hone his skills .”

"Let's assist Li Jing to go to the west!"

Eunuch Rong stood quietly on one side, writing down what His Majesty said one by one on the board.

When I wrote the last sentence, there was a commotion in the hall.

Yuchi Jingde already had a thick and loud voice, he stepped forward with big strides, with his face slightly sideways, he cupped his hands towards the dragon seat.

"Your Majesty, my humble minister...is not convinced."

"Cheng Chumo and Su Qingjie were originally from the military camp. It is true that they are capable. They say joining the army is a tempering experience, and the veterans have nothing to say."

"Li Xian is a kid who hasn't even made up his hair yet. I'm afraid he hasn't entered the military camp a few times. How can he get the position of deputy general in the army? My minister... I think this is inappropriate."

The figure sitting on the dragon looked at Yuchi Jingde, and leaned against the armrest of the seat, his face was peaceful and joyless, making it unpredictable.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bowed respectfully.

"His Majesty."

"The official thought that Li Xian's outline of Qu Yuanli might just be accompanying him, but it should be the credit of Sinong Temple for making it."

"Furthermore, the achievements of the Sudoku side can only be summarized as Wenzhi, and have little to do with military strategy."

"If you place Li Xian next to the marching commander for the reason of training, the reason is really far-fetched. It will inevitably make those outstanding generals in the army dissatisfied. I hope your majesty will think twice."

Fang Xuanling's words were extremely ingenious, he gave the military generals in the court an excuse, and tactfully suggested the matter, which awakened many generals standing at the side of the hall.

The battle of Tuyuhun, as Li Jin had explained earlier, was originally a battle without much suspense, and it was equal to a huge amount of military achievements for nothing.

That is, the soldiers who returned from it were more or less able to be promoted to rank.Especially those who are in high positions will get more credit, and it is not impossible to soar into the sky.

If Li Xian takes such great achievements, it will only make the young talents of the entire court look up to him.

With the precedent of the previous group of ministers admonishing Li Xian but being refuted, Gao Shilian's old cheek flashed a hint of hesitation.After hesitating again and again, thinking about the importance of this matter, he still stood up slowly.

"Your Majesty, I think that the power of the deputy general who joined the army is really too great, and Li Xian is not someone who shows outstanding military strategy."

"If you don't put it in the idle official position with the army first, and then make a decision after you have been honed in this battle."

Hearing this pertinent opinion, the wrinkles on Li Shimin's forehead were gently stretched, he put his head on his head and thought about it, and waved his arms.

"Li Jing has always been calm and won't fight uncertain battles. This time he is determined to win, so what's the harm in joining Li Xian?"

"I think that serving as a military officer next to Li Jing is a worthless position for this Western Expedition."

After the words fell, the hearts of the officials thumped, and Changsun Wuji blurted out.

"His Majesty!"

"Okay~"

Li Shimin made a long voice and waved his arms, showing a little fatigue.

"That's it for now, don't need to mention it again,"

"Report important matters in various places, and start early."
