Chapter 435 Tang Dynasty Expedition Team

After Li Zhi finished speaking, the court was silent and silent.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, because he had an idea in his heart. He was different from Li Zhi, and he was emotional and had unconditional trust in people he was close to!

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that it would be impossible for the emperor to really add King Ping'an to be the duke. Even if he wanted to be the one, he would not be able to use his current merit. He had to squeeze Wang Ping'an out of oil and then squeeze out another merit so that the prince and prince would become the prince!

The ministers each had their own ideas. Wang Ping'an was a great man and never offend anyone, except Xu Jingzong. Therefore, no minister in the court would deliberately make things difficult for Wang Ping'an, but a little boy who didn't even have enough hair wanted to be a prince? This is so enviable!

Envy, jealousy, hatred! This is like a step, one comes with the other, and the ministers are just envious now. It is a bit jealous, and there is no need to say that they hate it!

But some people don’t care, like Yuchi Gong and Li Ji. They are all founding fathers, all dukes, and they belong to the founding duke. Wang Ping'an’s title in this life will never be granted the title of founding duke. He opened the country many years ago. The contributions of this generation have long been made. No matter how much Wang Ping'an can jump, he will not be able to jump over them. Therefore, Yuchi Gong and others agree that Wang Ping'an is granted the title of duke.

However, now looking at the emperor's expression and recommending Wang Ping'an, Li Zhi said ok, they... they should be a little bitch first, don't worry, speak out!

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Jin Sanyou quickly kowtowed and retreated out of the hall.

After a moment of quietness, Li Shimin then said, "What do you think, what do you think?"

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one is the first to stand out, and no one speaks first. Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi and thought to himself: "I will ask your father all the problems, so I can't calm down for a while!"

Sweat on Li Zhi's forehead also emerged. Why didn't everyone speak? Did I recommend it wrong?

Chu Suiliang stabbed Ma Zhou and whispered: "That's your student!" He meant that Wang Ping'an was your student. If he made contributions, you would still treat him. Now that the student is in trouble, you have to say a few good things to do!

Ma Zhou misunderstood that he never regarded Wang Ping'an as his real student, but he was the prince's master who was replaced by a false name. Li Zhi was his student. He thought Chu Suiliang was talking about Li Zhi! The prince stood in front awkwardly. As a teacher, he should find a step to let the prince come down!

Ma Zhou had eaten more salt than Li Zhi had eaten. How could he not understand the emperor's intentions? He could not make the emperor embarrassed. He could not reward him based on merits now, but he had to give the prince a better position. This would have to be a brain-struggle!

After coughing, Ma Zhou left the shift and stood behind Li Zhi, saying, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this time, there is something strange about the Turkic people's escape to the west. How can Wang Ping'an, with his own strength, make more than 100,000 Turkic people surrender? This is unreasonable!"

Li Zhi looked back at the master and thought to himself: "I'm not sick and I'm teaching you eye exercises, and I'm treating your neck pain. I'm just repaying me!"

Ma Zhou did not look at Li Zhi, and then said, "The wise minister Wei Zheng once said that if he listened to both sides, he would be clear, and if he believed in both sides, he would be dark. The emperor agreed deeply. However, our ministers and officials even took this statement as the principle of governing the world and never dared to listen to one-sided words."

The ministers nodded together. Wei Zheng said this, and the emperor agreed very much. This is a fact. However, judging from what Ma Zhou said, it is necessary to suppress Wang Ping'an. Now it depends on whether the emperor nodded. Nodded, everyone helped Wang Ping'an to make a fuss, shook his head... Everyone helped Ma Zhou to make a fuss!

The emperor had no expression on his face. After a while, he lit his chin and said, "Yes, Wei Zheng is indeed a wise prime minister!"

When the ministers heard this, they understood and knew very well how they should make trouble!

Ma Zhou continued: "Now, people who come to Beijing praise Wang Ping'an for being good, which is probably inconsistent with the actual situation. Wang Ping'an is a student of an old minister. The student's personality is the clearest of the teacher..."

Chu Suiliang muttered in a very low voice: "Before the court meeting, you were reluctant to say that Wang Ping'an was your student, do you know what he is!"

Ma Zhou said: "Wang Ping'an is gentle and not a talented general. Therefore, the old minister thinks that there must be another hidden truth to quell the Turks' exodus to the west. It seems inappropriate to give rewards at this time. It is better to wait until Wang Ping'an returns to the capital before making a decision!"

Chu Suiliang could no longer bear it. He owed Wang Ping'an a great favor. If he didn't stand up and talk at this time, he would feel guilty when he saw Wang Ping'an in the future.

After leaving the stint, Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is inappropriate. Even if Wang Ping'an returns to the capital, he still says these things. If he asks him to state the situation of the war himself, he will definitely refuse and give the credit to others. In this way, wouldn't those who have made merits not reward, and those who have no merits will receive the reward!"

Yuchi Gong, Li Ji and others also knew that even if they stood up and spoke, they would not change anything, but their attitude must be expressed. Otherwise, I would be sorry to Wang Ping'an and have no face to face this good boy! They also went on duty and discussed Chu Suiliang's words.

Among the ministers, officials from the Ministry of Revenue also came out one after another, and officials from Dali Temple stood up, whispering to Chu Suiliang! They were at least from the same interest group as Wang Ping'an, so they had to express their opinions!

Fortunately, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are not qualified to attend court, otherwise they will have to stand up together and support Wang Ping'an!

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart: "Wujian, I'm sorry for you. If you are suppressed, you won't have so much trouble. Alas, today's business will be compensated for you in the future!"

He left the court and said, "What the emperor, Chu Suiliang and his colleagues said is very true. But the old minister thinks that this matter is important and cannot be made hasty. It is better to wait for Xu Jingzong's memorial to be sent to the capital and make a decision!"

Chu Suiliang said, "But Xu Jingzong has not sent a memorial for a while. It is rumored that he was captured by the Turks and lost his national constitution. How can such a person be used as a proof?"

Changsun Wuji said: "The rumors are rumors after all, and they have not been confirmed. What if Xu Jingzong was not kidnapped? He will send them back in a while, and he will also mention them, which can be used to prove it!"

Yuchi Gong spoke and said, "What if Xu Jingzong was really captured? Which tribe was kidnapped? Could it be that Wang Ping'an would have to be ordered to investigate clearly and rescue him? If this is true, would Xu Jingzong say what Wang Ping'an is? If it is not still partial, will it be dark?"

This time, even Li Zhi spoke and said, "Yes, my son-in-law thinks that Xu Jingzong cannot be a witness!"

Changsun Wuji was anxious. What are these people getting tired of? You owe Wang Ping'an's favor, don't you owe Wang Ping'an? I'm not really making things difficult for him. It's just a matter of delay. It's not a matter of time before Wang Ping'an is a duke. How old is he? Why are he anxious? The more anxious you are now, the more unhappy the emperor is, the more ruthless you are. Are you doing this for Wang Ping'an? You have no heads, a bunch of wine bags!

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since it's a court meeting, everyone can express their opinions and share their opinions!"

The ministers who didn't speak quickly expressed their opinions. They didn't plan to do anything to Wang Ping'an, but they wouldn't feel very happy if they wanted a little boy to jump over their heads. Besides, the emperor's intentions were very obvious. Why didn't they follow the emperor's will? Everyone was receiving the emperor's salary, not Wang Ping'an!

The court is divided into two factions and discusses each other. It is not very intense, but it is chaotic, but it is impossible to make a decision at all. In the end, it depends on Li Shimin's meaning.

After talking for a long time, nothing came out!

Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "You guys are in Chang'an, how can you discuss things thousands of miles away? I think it's better to send someone to learn about it! Well, let's leave this matter to... Fang Aiqing, you can handle the matter at hand, go outside the pass, first to appease the newly surrendered Turks, and second to check the whole story of this matter."

Just now, the ministers in the court were talking a lot. The only one who didn't say anything or made no statement was Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling and Wang Ping'an were a little unhappy about Princess Gaoyang. Such things cannot be said explicitly, but everyone knew it. Therefore, Fang Xuanling was very afraid of saying that he suppressed Wang Ping'an, and even more afraid of going against the emperor's will, so he simply kept his word and made a fortune without saying anything. He would let others talk about it and let them go. He planned to stay out of the matter!

But just because he didn't express his opinion, he gave people the feeling that he was neutral and impartial, so Li Shimin ordered him to be the imperial envoy, which on the surface was quite fair!

Fang Xuanling's scalp was tingling. It was so unlucky. In the middle of winter, I asked me to go out of seclusion and drink the northwest wind, and I also asked me to do things that offend people! Why did I ask me to do it? Isn't it just to suppress Wang Ping'an? But if I suppress Wang Ping'an, I will offend a large group of people!

After hardening his head, Fang Xuanling walked out and said, "I obey the order!"

The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how troublesome the matter was, as long as someone did it, everything would be fine. It was not your own business, so let it stand up!

Chu Suiliang said, "Your Majesty, I think that since I want to send someone out of the customs, it is better to inspect the border states. Fang Xuanling alone may not be able to work hard. It is better to send a few more people to take care of each other!"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Okay, then who else can I send? Can anyone recommend Chu Aiqing?"

Chu Suiliang went back and looked at the ministers. The ministers glared at him, don’t push us, be careful to turn against you! Now the Turks are in the northwest direction, and the northwest wind is blowing outside the pass. We don’t go to drink it, you should drink it yourself!

Chu Suiliang turned around and said, "The old minister thought Cheng Zhijie was fair, but he was a general of the military and could inspect all sides!"

Cheng Zhijie was furious. The surname of Chu, believe it or not, I will burn your house!

He stepped out of work and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to patrol the border. However, the old minister heard that the General Wang Wendu of Zuo Xiaowei has recently suffered from leg pain and searched for famous doctors in the capital, but he could not cure it. He was deeply tortured by the pain every day and suffered a lot. The old minister thought it would be better to send Wang Wendu. He was proficient in military affairs. He could patrol the border, and he could ask him to find Wang Ping'an to treat leg diseases, killing two birds with one stone!"

Without waiting for Li Shimin to agree, the ministers said together: "I agree that Wang Wendu is familiar with military tactics and is good at using troops. He is my general of the Tang Dynasty and can patrol the border!"

The ministers were very afraid that the emperor would not agree, so Cheng Zhijie and Chu Suiliang recommended others and put them on their own. It would be a big problem. Why not find a bad guy and give it up!

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Then, send Wang Wendu!"

This Wang Wendu is one of the generals of the Guard Mansion and serves as the Zuo Xiaowei. There are one general and two generals at the Zuo Xiaowei. He is one of the generals. He is from a third-rank military officer with a high rank and is qualified to attend court.

Today’s court meeting, as long as you are qualified to attend court, everyone who can come will come, but there is one who cannot come, which is Wang Wendu!

Wang Wendu suffered from leg disease and inconvenient legs. This disease is not like other things. He couldn't stand up and naturally could not come to court, so he took sick leave.

It was precisely because he had filed a sick leave that he could not refuse. As long as the emperor nodded, he had to go if he didn't go, and he had to thank others for recommending him.

Everyone asked him to see Wang Ping'an for his good fortune. The travel expenses were given by the public, so they were treated as public expenses... Drinking the northwest wind and seeing the heavy snow on the grassland, it was so poetic. Good things, no need to thank you!

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and thought to himself: "As soon as he goes home, he will tell me about it. Will that child Gaoyang come to beg me? Don't send his father-in-law out of seclusion?"

While ordering Shi Zhongchen to draft an imperial edict, he said, "The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, but my concern is over." He paused and said, "Get out of the capital immediately!"

Fang Xuanling had no choice but to wait for Shi Zhongchen to draft the imperial edict and leave the hall.

The immediate departure from the capital means that he cannot go home and say goodbye, and must leave the city for thirty miles first. He sent his servants home to report the news, asking his family to send some supplies on the road, and took a bus and went thirty miles, found a hotel to rest, waiting for Wang Wendu to catch up.

In the evening, Fang Yiai came and brought all kinds of utensils needed on the road. Not only did he come, but Chu Suiliang also came. Chu Suiliang came to comfort him. After all, he was an old friend. No matter what the court was like, his relationship was still very good in private.

Fang Yiai asked, "Dad, why did the imperial court send you outside the pass?"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Ask you Uncle Chu and ask him to tell you why?"

Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "There is a saying that goes, why can birds have no meat? Your father is a good bird with meat. Today, he is not good at all in the court, but he was discovered by the emperor!"

Fang Yiai said puzzledly: "And what? The emperor discovered that Dad was not a bird... What does it mean?"

Chu Suiliang said: "It means that birds with a lot of meat are often roasted first! No, it should be said that they are frozen first!"

Fang Xuanling said angrily: "Your mouth is really a death-taking. At this time, Chang'an was already cold and cold. I wonder if you can't breathe outside the pass? I will come back after spring this time. It's all your fault!"
