Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2273 Military Situation in the Western Regions
Once this news is spread, I will definitely become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of all the bastards and second sons in the entire Guanzhong.Previously, due to their own reasons, the eldest sons of each family were excluded from the list and lost the qualifications to enter the academy. Those eldest sons were of course resentful, but in the end they are the future successors of each family. They know how to endure and understand the deeper level It means that you may not hate yourself that much.

But those second-generation ancestors composed of bastards and second sons, where did they have that consciousness?

I'm afraid that as soon as the news gets out, those dandies will think that he is Chu Suiliang who hindered everyone's future, and he will immediately become the public enemy of all the bastards and second sons. It is easy to throw rotten eggs on the street. When it comes to violent temper, maybe you can give him a white knife to go in and a red knife to come out...

There is no such thing as cheating people!
Xu Jingzong sneered and said: "Chu Siye is really righteous. Even those concubines and second sons who are disliked by each family can make Chu Siye work hard for them. They are indeed a role model for our generation! Since Chu Siye For the sake of those bastards and second sons, it is better to follow the previous method and still exclude the eldest son, and there is no need to change it."

Chu Suiliang: "..."

How did this become that I took the initiative to exclude the eldest sons in order to take care of those concubines and second sons?

It's clearly a trick of the two of you to plant it on my head in a blink of an eye?

And let no one live!
Fang Jun asked Chu Suiliang with a smile: "Chu Siye thinks, which method is better?"

Neither is good!

Chu Suiliang thought about it angrily, and after a while he said angrily: "Since Your Majesty has approved Erlang's previous proposal and refused to enroll the eldest son of the direct line, according to your opinion, let's do it like this."

Although the elimination of the eldest son caused him to be criticized by various families in Guanlong, after all, he has accepted it now. If he changes it again rashly, there will be another disturbance...

He was convinced by Fang Jun's domineering, this guy didn't care about the family at all, he just shook his head and flattered His Majesty Li Er blindly, which emperor didn't like such a courtier?

Chu Suiliang also thought so, but his own ability was not enough to become a sharp knife in the emperor's hand, and he swung it out to fight and bite for the emperor and the family clan, so he could only cling to the clan clan and let others drive him to grab a steady stream of money. political support for...

In contrast, being an official myself is really boring.

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Since Chu Siye has no objection, then we will proceed in accordance with the charter. From now on, we will unite sincerely and have no grievances. We will do our best to run the academy well for His Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty, and cultivate a steady stream for the future prosperity of the empire. Talents!"

Xu Jingzong said: "Erlang is wise!"

Chu Suiliang didn't say a word, it's obviously the two of you who made a fuss about this special mother's suggestion of the eldest son. Now that I say it like this, why does it seem to be my idea?

……

No matter what the method is, whether it is willing or forced, since the consensus has been reached, things will go much smoother, and consensus has been reached in more places. The three of them discussed various affairs of the academy and expressed their opinions. The whole morning's work has been quite a lot Big progress.

At noon, a servant came to summon Fang Jun.

Fang Junqi asked: "Do you know what happened?"

Seeing that Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang were sitting in the room, both of whom were trusted by His Majesty, the servant said, "It is the Anxi Protectorate who sent back the battle report. The Arab Empire has captured Taixifeng, the capital of Persia. Fleeing all the way to the east, they arrived at Tocharistan, and the army of the Arab Empire pursued them closely. The soldiers had already arrived in the Western Regions, and the countries in the Western Regions were shaken. The prince of Persia wrote a letter, requesting that the Tang Dynasty send troops to rescue and help him restore the country."

Fang Jun was taken aback.

The so-called Persia in the mouth of the servant is actually the Second Persian Empire, also known as the Sassanian Dynasty. It was established after the fall of the Parthian Empire. The country lasted for more than [-] years and was a super empire that dominated Central Asia.

Why is the Arab Empire suddenly so fierce?
History seems to say that from the capture of the Sassanian capital Tessiphon by the Arab Empire to the death of the last prince of the Sasanian dynasty, it took decades. Now it seems that there is a danger of extinction anytime, anywhere...

History has changed again.

Immediately, not daring to delay, he got up to bid farewell to Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang, and quickly left with the servants, heading for the palace.

It was rare for Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang to continue bickering, but they all looked at Fang Jun's hurried back, with indescribable envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts...

Even if the title was lowered again and again, even if the official position was pushed to the end, once the flames of war ignited in the frontier, the emperor's first thought was to call Fang Jun into the palace.

This is status.

To assist the emperor and guide the country, a man should do the same!
When Fang Jun arrived at the imperial palace, the servant who had been waiting here for a long time led him into the palace. When he arrived at the Dragon Palace, the servant went in to report, and after a while, the emperor summoned him.

Fang Jun took off his shoes at the entrance of the Dragon Hall, stepped on the bare floor with snow-white socks, and entered the hall.

The light in the hall was a little dim, and when Fang Jun entered, there were already many people present.

His Majesty Li Er sat in the first seat, and there were two rows of chairs lined up in front of him. Civil and military officials had already sat on them, discussing the military situation.

Fang Jun entered, first saluted His Majesty Li Er, then bowed to all the ministers present, and then sat on the last chair...

The whole hall is full of civil and military personnel, all of whom are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them have white beards and hair. Occasionally, a few young officials also have long beards. They are in the middle of their age. Only Fang Jun has a short mustache on his upper lip, and his skin color It is not as white and smooth as ordinary young people, which seems out of place.

But when the ministers saw Fang Jun bowing, even the crown princes Li Chengqian, Li Ji, Cen Wenwen, and Li Xiaogong who sat at the front all nodded in response. No one thought there was anything wrong with Fang Jun appearing here...

Age is no longer the fetter that limits the talent of this young man, but such a young appearance makes everyone feel emotional. When he was so young, he was still ignorant and ignorant, and he had already stepped into the house and became a pillar of the empire.

Traveling across the seven seas to open up territories and lands, and confining wolves to their residences, such meritorious deeds are enough to qualify as a military duet even if they are placed in the past dynasties.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun and said, "Everyone is here, Mao Gong, let's talk about the military situation in the Western Regions."

Li Ji, who was sitting below him, was holding a stack of battle reports in his hand, opened the top one, cleared his throat with a cough, and said: "The war between the Arab Empire and Persia has a long history and has lasted for many years. Since the Arab After Caliph Umar I succeeded to the throne, the Arab Empire became stronger and stronger, and Persia was defeated in a row. Not long ago, even the capital Taixi was captured by Arab soldiers. He fled to Tocharustan, and was chased and killed by the Arab army. Early this morning, the Anxi Governor's Mansion sent Belus's letter of credence to Chang'an, and the Persian prince Belus asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help him restore his country."

His Majesty Li Er sat behind the desk, glanced at the officials in the hall, and said slowly: "What do you think, just speak freely."

As soon as the voice fell, Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, Persia and our Tang Dynasty are thousands of miles away. We have always had a good relationship and there is no deep interest entanglement. Its rise or fall has nothing to do with our Tang Dynasty. Why bother to send it all the way?" How about my great Tang athlete helping him restore the country? The old minister thinks it is impossible."

Li Xiaogong on the side also said: "Persia has a vast territory, but it is actually extremely poor. The country is covered with thousands of miles of yellow sand. There are not many cities built on oases and beside rivers. The only thing is that the people are aggressive. Such a country is really not worth it. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought and slaughtered for them, and the blood stained the yellow sand, so we only need to strictly prevent the Arab army from taking the opportunity to invade the countries of the Western Regions."

Li Xiaogong is almost the mascot of the royal family now, and it is not his role to lead the army to fight, but His Majesty Li Er still trusts his ideas at the pre-stand meeting, after all, the title of "No.1 General of the Clan" is not given for nothing.

Li Ji sat there and nodded slightly, this person said little, but his meaning was already very clear, he naturally agreed with what Cen Wenwen and Li Xiaogong said.

The statement of these three people is basically tantamount to finalizing the matter...

It is impossible to send troops.

His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, looked at the prince, and asked, "What does the prince think?"

Li Chengqian looked at the emperor, pondered for a while, and said: "The opinions of Shizhong Cen and Uncle Hejian are also agreed by my ministers. Persia and our Tang Dynasty lack contacts. It is really useless if we send the Tang Tiger Ben to help him restore the country." The advantage, this is very unfair to those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who buried their bones in Persia because of fighting and sacrificing their bones. In the Zhengshuo Dynasty, the king was defeated and died, and the prince fell to the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty should not be indifferent. It should order the Anxi Dufu to protect it, continue the Persian blood, and warn the Arabs not to kill and cut off their country. Zuo, otherwise our Tang Dynasty is a state of benevolence and righteousness, and we will certainly not sit idly by."

As soon as this remark came out, His Majesty Li Er immediately stroked his beard in relief, extremely satisfied.

Not only does it not require a single soldier, but it can still show the prestige of Datang in the Western Regions. In this way, tell the kings and crown princes of the countries in the Western Regions that even if the state is cut off one day, Datang will protect personal safety!
Such an act of calming the mind is much more effective than a simple conquest by force.
