Datang Longya

Chapter 1036
When Zero galloped to the palace on horseback, the court meeting was still going on.

But today's court hall is not so much a court meeting as it is the Hall of Yama.

Among the ministers of civil and military classes, there were people kneeling on the ground, and the quiet needle drop could be heard in the hall.

The possible assassination of the Supreme Emperor and Master made Li Chengqian very angry. At the beginning of the early dynasty, he ignored the lack of investigation results, so he spoke out about it.

The emperor said this, naturally because he suspected the honorable group who opposed the New Deal some time ago.Changsun Chong had already left Chang'an to take up his post in Zhaozhou. Except for him, all the honorable families involved in this incident were trembling.

As long as the assassin finds out that it was sent by one of them, the entire army will be wiped out waiting for them.

The current emperor is very angry, it can be said that he has been so angry for the first time since he ascended the throne.For such an emperor, I am afraid that simply dismissing more than [-] nobles is not enough to appease the anger.And there is no excuse for such a serious crime as sending an assassin to assassinate the Supreme Emperor or the Xiaoyao King.Determine the sin, even though they are all pond fish, they will inevitably suffer.

People who do such things, even if the emperor is ruthless, no matter the honorable group or the people of the world, they will only applaud!
Fang Yiai has been kneeling for a long time, even though he has now taken over as Minister of the Household Department, he dare not say anything else under such circumstances.The Fang family was able to find a bargain in this turmoil. He believed that it was due to the good deeds of his ancestors.But in the same way, after replacing the position of the eldest grandson's family and becoming the biggest beneficiary, he is also the biggest suspect.

A yellow door hurried in, didn't stop at the bottom of the steps, but ran all the way to the dragon chair, and whispered something into the emperor's ear.

After listening, Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The worst outcome would be to find out that the assassin was sent by a certain family. Once confirmed, the court that had subsided would be in chaos for a while.Dismissing 23 nobles is already the limit.As the reigning emperor, he has reached his limit.The rest, I am afraid, can only be left to future generations to carry out slowly.

The emperor's relieved appearance was seen by many people, and many hearts finally fell down.

Clearing his throat, Li Chengqian said: "Fang Qing, you all get up. This time, I blamed you all."

Hearing this news, Fang Yiai came back to her senses.

Leading the kneeling officials to stand up, Fang Yiai clasped her fists and saluted: "Your Majesty's filial piety to the Supreme Emperor and concern for the Emperor's teacher can be learned from the sun and the moon. Even if the humble ministers and others suffer some grievances, it's nothing. But, please also please Your Majesty." Explain where the assassin came from. It is really hard for me to swallow this breath without smashing the black hand behind the scenes!"

Not only Fang Yi'ai was angry, but everyone who knelt down just now was also filled with righteous indignation.They were not angry that the emperor suspected them, but they were extremely angry at the person who provoked this incident.When is it not good to assassinate, but such a thing happened at this stall!At this time, the emperor must doubt them of course!

Li Chengqian was still very embarrassed to blame the wrong person.Seeing that Fang Yiai was about to spit out her anger, she could only say: "The assassins were sent by the Japanese. The reason for their actions was to plunge the Tang Dynasty into turmoil. At the beginning, the Taishanghuang and others planned a plan to let the Baekje people of Silla Waguo Island has gained a firm foothold. Up to now, the three kingdoms are fighting openly and secretly with each other. I think the people of Waguo are very depressed, and they want to take revenge on Datang."

After getting the truth, Fang Yiai said angrily: "The little Japanese country has repeatedly brushed the beards on the faces of our Tang Dynasty. This time, it is even trying to assassinate the Supreme Emperor and King Xiaoyao. Your Majesty, I think that our Tang army is It's time to dispatch! Otherwise, those foreigners with their tails tucked up, don't know how terrible our Tang Dynasty's anger is!"

Although he really wanted to send troops, Li Chengqian couldn't help hesitating when he thought of the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Yong'an not only took over the projects left by Zhenguan, but also added a few more.Even the Grassland and Xiyu Road now have train lines laid.So many projects are not an ordinary burden for the court.

Sending troops means spending money, but now is the new year, and it is the time when the country's economy is weak.As far as war preparations are concerned, there are indeed, but Li Chengqian feels a little bit unwilling when he thinks that the war preparations will be used in a small country like the Wa country.

Tang Jin and Leng Jing are not here, Cheng Chusi can be said to be more able to talk among the generals.

After leaving the shift, Cheng Chusi said: "Your Majesty, Silla Baekje now occupies the northern part of the island. If you want to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, it is almost impossible to borrow from them, so you can only send the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet by sea. On the islands of the Wa Kingdom. Landing operations, not to mention an expedition without a foundation, the dangers during the expedition may only be made up for with gunpowder weapons. Therefore, this battle will probably cost a lot of money."

Li Chengqian nodded, although emotionally he wanted to send troops, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's strength to send troops, as an emperor, he could not act emotionally.

"As it is"

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Di Renjie stood up.

Now that Di Renjie had ascended to the position of prime minister, as soon as he stood up, Lin Chao immediately stopped talking.

Among the senior brothers, in terms of calmness and wit, Li Chengqian felt that no one could match Di Renjie. He had been watching from the sidelines before, but now that he stood up, he obviously had a countermeasure.

After saluting, Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, since the world has been prosperous and commercial taxes have become the main taxpayers, our army has been dispatched. We don't have to worry about food and grass, as long as we have money. It's just that there are construction projects everywhere in the world. If you want to send troops, It is necessary to use the strategic resources prepared by the imperial court long ago, does your Majesty think this is inappropriate?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right, although I am annoyed at the actions of the Wa Kingdom, but because of the unexpected events that Datang might face, I can't be willful."

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers immediately shouted "My emperor is holy".

After the voice subsided, Li Chengqian asked Di Renjie with a smile: "Di Qing must not just say these unnutritious words, is there any plan?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It's not a strategy, but, junior brother, I was furious when I thought of Master being assassinated. How could I just swallow it like this? Junior brother has a little money at home, why don't we just pay for this expedition?" Do your part! Since the Wa Kingdom is so rampant, we must be prepared to face the extermination of the clan. I feel that it is very good to send troops this time to send the Wa Kingdom to its end."

Hearing Di Renjie's words, Fang Yiai couldn't help moaning in her heart.

damn it!How could the Di family support a dispatch of troops!This guy clearly wants to drag the courtiers into custody by saying this!
