Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The news from the southwest was sent back and soon spread throughout the court.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin discussed this matter and asked the ministers what they should do.

This time, those ministers finally didn't focus their firepower on scolding Li Yi'an, they all scolded Li Xiaogong for doing something wrong, this is not good, that is not good and so on.

"Your Majesty, I petition to go to the southwest."

Li Yi'an cupped his hands and said, breaking the noise in the Tai Chi Hall.

The previous petition was discussed in private, and Li Shimin also agreed, but it was the first time to make it public.

After hearing this, everyone turned to Li Yi'an. Most of the people present would not be willing to go to remote places like the Southwest unless they were in special need or ordered to do so. They couldn't get used to the climate.

Especially now that there is still a war over there, although it is said that it is temporarily pacified, but it has been so long since the news was sent back, it is possible to fight again, Li Yi'an is not a military general, and he actually petitioned to go to the southwest?

Even Du Ruhui and the others were a little surprised.

"That's it!"

Li Shimin didn't discuss with the other ministers, he decided on what was agreed, and continued: "Can Li Qing know military affairs?"

"Pacifying the southwest is not a problem."

Li Yi'an had previously received a reward for being proficient in military and political affairs, so it was not a big problem for him whether he joined the military or politics.

"Okay, I order you to be the general manager of the Jiannan Road march, replacing Li Xiaogong, and concurrently serve as the governor of Yizhou, and set off within half a month."

Li Shimin said directly: "I will give you another imperial decree and send it to the southwest, hand it over to Li Xiaogong, and let him come back to accept the crime!"

In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin changed Yizhou to Jiannan Road, governed Yizhou, and governed the central Shu south of Jianmen Pass and the later Yunnan area.

The south of Jiannan Road is Yunnan and other places in later generations, and the east is Qianzhong Road. The people who are currently making trouble are the people in the south of Jiannan Road.

"The minister takes orders!"

Li Yian cupped his hands and said.

"Your Majesty, I feel that something is wrong."

Du Ruhui first said: "The ministers have never heard of Li Shilang's military skills?"

As soon as the words came out, the other ministers agreed. It had never been heard that Li Yi'an would march and fight.

"Have you all forgotten, in the ninth year of Wude, the crisis in the Wei River?"

Li Shimin resisted all opinions and said, "Li Qing, do you think there is a problem?"

"I think, no problem! If I have any faults in the southwest, I am willing to come back to see His Majesty with my head up!"

Li Yian nodded directly.

"This matter has been decided, no further discussion!"

Li Shimin's words blocked the mouths of everyone behind him.

But there are also some people who are thinking, Li Yi'an went to the Southwest is actually a good trip!

As long as he is not in Chang'an, they still have room to manipulate the tax law, or he went to the Southwest and was not acclimatized, died there of illness, was even killed during the war, or was questioned if he did not do well, and so on. want to see.

This group of people includes but is not limited to Lu Deming and the others.

"Yes!"

Li Yi'an agreed loudly.

Soon the morning court was over, and Li Shimin called Li Yi'an to the Ganlu Hall alone.

"Sir, are you really capable?"

Li Shimin thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "If it doesn't work, I will cancel this order and make other arrangements."

Li Yi'an said: "Your Majesty, I have already agreed, and if I cancel it, wouldn't it be ridiculed? If I dare to make such a proposal, and dare to agree to Your Majesty, I have full confidence."

The reason is this, Li Shimin was worried and didn't want to lose a capable minister, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "No, I will let Cheng Yaojin go with Mr.

Li Yi'an shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty is about to attack Master Liang. Although the Turks are in civil turmoil and there is no time to rescue them, after we take Shuofang, they will feel in danger. No matter how chaotic they are, they will have to find time to harass them. Fighting ahead of time, General Cheng and the others staying in Chang'an will be of much greater use than following Chen to the south."

Now the historical trajectory of the early years of the Tang Dynasty has been changed a lot by Li Yi'an.

The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will start next year at the earliest, but under the premise of changes, Li Yi'an can't guarantee whether it will be brought forward, and everything is still unknown.

"Sir, who do you think can go south with you?"

Li Shimin handed over the choice to Li Yi'an.

Who can go south with him?

Li Yi'an felt that he could not live without a general commanding him, and it was necessary to simply protect himself.

It is not easy to clean up the remaining traitors.

"I want to ask His Majesty for two people, and it will not affect the overall situation in the north."

Li Yi'an said: "The first one, Su Lie, named Dingfang, is currently the captain of Zhechong of Kuangdaofu, and the second one, named Xue Li, named Rengui, from the Xue family of Hedong, should be in General Zhang Shigui's army at present, and I have them That's enough."

"who are they?"

Li Shimin pondered in his mind for a while, he had heard of Xue Li from the Xue family in Hedong, but he was only a boy in his teens, and he didn't seem to have any outstanding qualities.

As for Su Lie, a Captain Zhechong, it was the first time he had heard of this name, and he didn't know who it was before today.

"How about changing two more people, sir?"

Li Shimin suggested.

Mr. asked two people who even he didn't know who they were to pacify the Southwest, such a child's play, how could it work?

Absolutely not.

Xue Li became famous in the 18th year of Zhenguan, when Li Shimin conquered Liaodong, no one knows who he is yet.

As for when Su Lie fought the Xiongnu in the near future, he only started to become famous under Li Jing's command, and now he is still unknown, and he did not come from a family, so very few people know about it.

"Your Majesty, I only need them."

Li Yian cupped his hands and said.

"Since Mr. is sure, I agree. Within a few days, I will summon them and wait for Mr. to arrange."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and knew that Mr. Yuan Tiangang couldn't even match Yuan Tiangang's ability to predict.

It was already strange that two unknown people were known by the husband, and seeing that the husband was so confident, he probably figured out something before asking him for these two people.

They may still be hidden heroes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yi'an cupped his hands.

"It's me who should thank you sir. I'll leave everything to you about the Southwest."

Li Shimin said.

"I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty!"

After Li Yi'an finished speaking, he left Ganlu Hall.

After returning home, he told Li Changge and others about his next arrangements.

This time it was a long journey from Chang'an to Yizhou, so of course he would bring his family with him, although it was a little troublesome, but he didn't have to be separated from them, half a month was enough to prepare everything for going south.

As for Ah Shui and Li Qian staying in Chang'an first, Ah Shui still has to help him study science and mathematics, so it is inconvenient to leave.

Li Shimin's actions were also quick, but after a few days, Xue Li and Su Lie had been summoned to Chang'an.

Out of curiosity, Li Shimin first placed them in the barracks of the Imperial Guards, and then called Li Yi'an to the barracks together.

He wanted to see what surprises the person chosen by Mr. would give him.
