Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1049 Acting
In fact, Li Shimin, who was walking in a hurry, was a little uneasy. Why did his father summon him suddenly? According to the time calculation, it should be Huai Ren who had an audience with him at this time... This guy won't show any flaws, right?
His father tried several times and suspected that Huairen had a connection with Donggong, but Li Shimin knew very well while being funny that his father would not allow himself to have any connection with Huairen.

The reason is also very simple. In the past ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was the king of Qin and the king of Wei. It is necessary to consider whether the position under the buttocks is stable or not.

To put it bluntly, this reason is mainly due to Li Yuan's lack of self-confidence. After all, he has never returned to the battlefield since he ascended the throne.

Stepping into the Linhu Hall, Li Shimin was a little stunned for a moment, because there were only a few people in the hall, and they sat opposite each other in a very special way.

Li Yuan sits at the top, Li Shan sits at the bottom, Princess Pingyang sits at the side of Li Shan, and a living man sits between Li Yuan and Li Shan, with a small case in front of him, writing hard.

This is the most orthodox discussion between the monarch and his ministers. Everyone looks solemn and serious.

"Erlang is here." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, let's take a look first."

Li Shimin sat on the side of Li Shan, squinting his eyes at the living note moved by Qijulang, and Li Yuan on the side sighed: "Erlang said Huairen may not be able to defend Yulin against the Turks, and Huairen said that Erlang leading the army will not help." .”

After reading a few paragraphs, Li Shimin couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Shan. This was completely different from what he told Ling Jing. It was to analyze the difficulty of setting up a county in Yulin from another angle, and he actually brought himself into it.

But it makes sense, Li Shimin smiled bitterly while watching, "It's too close, it's too close, the Turkic cavalry come and go like the wind, and there are few big cities in Yulin, unless a new fort like Guji Town in Shuozhou is built, and It is not ten or eight, but dozens of them, so that it is possible to defend against the enemy."

"Even so, the Liang Kingdom was destroyed, several counties were in ruins, and the population was scarce. Food and grass could only be mobilized from the Jingzhao area. It would be even more difficult to import grain and grass. The Turks would not let go of such fat. "

Li Yuan nodded. This is Li Shimin's opinion in front of him yesterday that he should not set up a county. The key is the problem of grain and grass transportation. To put it bluntly, Datang's current national strength is not enough... at least Guannei can't afford a war in a short time A war that could last for years.

"Besides, building a fortress... is also very difficult." Li Yuan sighed, "Even if the Turks don't invade in a big way, they will definitely roam around."

"Suddenly, I sent a letter last year that Shuozhou built more fortresses." Li Shimin glanced at Li Shan, "Now there is a Dai Guogong as the governor of the Daizhou. In the past two years, Turks have rarely invaded Shuozhou, and even the Turkic tribes in Yunzhou have There are many relocations, so it is not difficult to set up a fortress, but when Huairen was planning to build Guji Town in Shuozhou, wouldn't the Turks come to invade?"

The corners of Li Shan's eyes twitched, he glanced at Li Yuan first, and then said expressionlessly: "It's all thanks to His Royal Highness King Qin."

Li Shimin looked confused, and Princess Pingyang looked over in surprise, you, Li Huairen, are not such a person, you are so flattering!
Could it be that seeing that the king of Qin is now in power, is it necessary to show his favor in advance?

Then Li Shan said calmly: "Your Majesty, you should know that I intend to build a fort with the northwest of Shuozhou. At that time, the bordering Yunzhou is under the control of Tuli Khan."

"The minister and the Tuli Khan formed a friendship with Jinlan, the friendship of eight obeisances..."

"Cough cough cough!" Li Yuan burst into a violent cough.

But Li Shan insisted on finishing his sentence, "Brothers are commensurate, and giving each other gift lists will naturally restrain the subordinates, and the envoys will smoothly build Guji Town."

"Huai Ren!" Li Yuan blushed a little, and said angrily, "Do you think I dare not punish you?!"

"Leave your majesty to deal with it." Li Shanxing said politely, "but your majesty will rule the world and make the north and south no longer face each other for hundreds of years. You can be called a wise king, and you should not punish your ministers without reason."

"Father, father..." Li Shimin smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Huairen and Tuli Khan formed an alliance with Jinlan. Wasn't this allowed by His Majesty back then?"

"If it weren't for this, Tuli Khan would not sit idly by in the battle of Guji Town, let alone lead his troops to withdraw northward when the army rushed to help, causing Huairen to defeat Jieli Khan."

"What's more, Huairen was granted the throne of the county because of this." Li Shimin looked at Li Shan, "Although it is due to state affairs, but my father's trust is very important..."

"Okay!" Princess Pingyang scolded softly, "Second brother shut up!"

At first, Princess Pingyang was still a little ignorant, but after watching it, she understood it, and felt very bored. These two guys are pretending to be acting in front of their father!

"Back then, Tuli Khan promised to form an alliance, and the condition was that he would form an alliance with his second brother!" Princess Pingyang said straightforwardly: "Father thought of everything, and supported King Huairen to make him sworn brothers with Tuli Khan."

Li Shan reported this matter to Li Yuan in private, and Princess Pingyang was present. Later, Prince Li Jiancheng and Prime Minister Pei Ji in the East Palace probably knew about it, but Li Shimin definitely didn't know about it no matter which channel he came from.

Therefore, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan blankly, and the latter looked away unnaturally. After all, the situation back then was very different from now.

Li Shan praised in his heart, Li Er's acting skills are not bad, "If it weren't for the prestige of King Qin, why would Tuli Khan have such a request?"

"It's also rare for that minister to be included in the clan, and he was named the county king, and he and Tuli Khan made an alliance in Jinlan. It is also difficult to prepare for the construction of Guji Town."

"That's why His Royal Highness King Qin is responsible for all this."

Li Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he pointed his halberd and cursed: "It's a bunch of nonsense, I really thought I... I..."

"Hui Ren is a state matter, should father be punished for it?" Princess Pingyang raised her brows upside down, "Which Huairen said is unreasonable?"

Li Yuan was blocked by these words... Li Shimin on the side came over and whispered: "Father..."

Hey, why didn't I realize that Erlang was so considerate before, Li Yuan sighed with emotion, and said seriously: "Huiren has been married for more than a month, why hasn't he been in court or in the government office?"

"Do you know how many imperial censors have been impeached?"

Li Shan glanced sideways at Li Shimin, "I have asked myself to go back to the court to recuperate due to injury, if not for His Majesty's summoning for military and national affairs, I would have been bedridden every day and continued to be ill."

Li Yuan laughed angrily at this nonsense, Princess Pingyang on the side couldn't stand it anymore, don't go too far!
You two guys are coaxing the prince like a fool, and now you are going to coax father again?

"Has the second brother finished reading the daily life note?"

Li Shimin was stunned, lowered his head and continued to look, and suddenly raised his head after a few glances, staring at Li Shan with piercing eyes... Li Shan blushed a little after staring.

I used to copy "Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye", "Ode to the Willow", "Qing Ping Diao" and "Ai Lian Shuo", but after all Zhang Ruoxu, He Zhizhang, Li Bai, and Liu Yuxi were not born yet, but this time, the original author was not only born Yes, and right in front of you.
