Datang Longya

Chapter 841 Lingyan Pavilion

Li Shimin couldn't help applauding Zhang Liang: "Mr. Xun Guo is really a three-day farewell, so you should look at him with admiration. Your strategy is very good!"

Zhang Liang was very proud of being praised by the emperor.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although this strategy is amazing, the most fundamental problem now is that our Tang treasury is unable to continue to support the war. After the strategy is determined, if it is not implemented for a long time, it will inevitably be There will be changes, so Weichen thinks, should I grit my teeth and send troops now?"

"Send troops now?"

After hearing Changsun Wuji's proposal, everyone fell silent.

Sending troops to Goryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the three countries is not a small war, especially at this pass, it is not simply a war that can be launched by gritting your teeth.

After all, there is no money in the treasury!
Li Shimin thought for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Now the Turks and half of the land in the Western Regions are enough to make the Tang Dynasty suffer, let alone the large land in the northeast. In a short time, it is enough to settle these lands first. Goryeo That place can be taken at any time, just let them run rampant for a while longer!"

When the newly harvested land is large enough, the larger areas of Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje will become tasteless.

Li Jing also said: "Don't fight anymore, our Tang army also needs to be reorganized. After the Tang army is reorganized, the tiny land on the Koryo side can just be used for military training, and let them use their spare heat." "

When the generals were discussing matters, Li Jing's opinion was basically the opinion of everyone in the military.

Anyway, Koryo can't play for a long time, just clean it up after a while.

The last one to stand up was Feng An. This time, he was also called back to Chang'an in advance.

"The sea power of the Great Cannibal is not to be feared. Only the Lingnan fleet can fight against it. However, I still feel that our territorial waters of the Tang Dynasty should move south, and the border cannot be trapped on land!"

Li Jing said: "The South China Sea is not much calmer than the East China Sea. Moving the border southward will have a huge impact. What's more, besides fishing, what else can you do in the vast sea?"

Li Shimin also said: "I also think that the South China Sea is of no value, as long as the southern coastline is well guarded, it will be good."

"I don't see it that way."

Leng Feng stood up, looked around and said, "The South China Sea is very valuable. Although you can't see anything now, the South China Sea will definitely be a treasure in a few hundred years. If we don't hold the South China Sea firmly now, future generations will scold us. Ours!"

Fang Xuanling was surprised and said, "The South China Sea is a treasure land? Lord Protector, can you make it clear? What treasures are there in the South China Sea?"

Leng Feng shrugged: "You don't understand what I said, anyway, you believe me, the South China Sea cannot be lost. The savages in Malaysia don't even have serious sea ships. Even if we take the South China Sea, we don't need to invest much.

What's more, the big cannibals are struggling with the Turkic people in the Western Regions, and they don't have time to pay attention to us. "

After hearing Leng Feng's words, Fang Xuanling was not annoyed. He knew that Leng Feng's knowledge was beyond his imagination, and it was impossible for a wise man to express his opinion on things he didn't understand.

Seeing that Leng Feng admired Nanhai so much, Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Nanhai is really a good place?"

Leng Feng nodded: "That's natural."

Good place, Li Shimin will never give up easily!

"Feng An, then you will take down the South China Sea. Anyone who invades the South China Sea will be regarded as a challenge to our Great Tang!"

Feng An took the order and immediately retreated to the team.

It was almost noon now, and even though it was a grand meeting, there was still food to eat.

Li Shimin said: "My dear friends, do you still have this book? If not, we should go to Tianxialou to have a good meal."

Hearing the emperor's words, all the officials laughed.

At the end of the Great Court Meeting, Emperor Qianniu Weixian and his officials took over Tianxialou and the surrounding streets one step at a time.

Lao Yuan's son, Xiao Yuan, was also courageous. Seeing so many Qianniu guards surrounding Tianxialou, he knew the emperor was coming.

The guests had no choice but to leave the table when they heard that the emperor was coming to reserve the place.Xiao Yuan appeases the guests room by room, promising to waive the bill.

The Tianxia Building is not short of the money, but it is afraid that the reputation will be damaged. The emperor temporarily rents out the venue, and the guests cannot bear these losses.

After clearing the venue, in less than a stick of incense, civil and military officials came to Tianxia Building in twos and threes in carriages.

The hall on the first floor is very spacious, enough to entertain all officials, even without the use of partitions.

The emperor walked into the hall and took the north seat without hesitation.

"My lord, why are there so many officials here? Even His Majesty is here?"

It was the first time for Xiao Yuan to receive the emperor in person, and he was a little nervous. After seeing Leng Feng, he quickly asked his master to share the pressure.

Leng Feng patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder: "I'm a little confident, the shopkeeper of Tianxialou, isn't it shameful? Our young master has been knighted, no, he's all here to eat and drink. You just pick the expensive ones, civil servants." Over there, give more vegetarian dishes and less meat dishes; for the generals, you serve more meat dishes and less vegetarian dishes. Let them drink wine openly."

Xiao Yuan nodded, since it was a knighthood banquet for his young master, it had to be done in a big way.

Tianxialou's cooks are very efficient, and it didn't take long for them to start serving dishes.

On Li Shimin's table, the first dish served was still meatballs.

Looking at the small pot of meatballs, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry: "I didn't want to eat meatballs for a few days, okay, the cooks downstairs think I only eat meatballs!"

Despite what he said, Li Shimin quickly set down his chopsticks and started eating.

The dishes were served one by one, the wine was opened, Leng Feng, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong toasted at various tables, no matter how it was, this was a feudal banquet, the three of them had to entertain their colleagues well.

After a round of toasting, Leng Feng returned to sit next to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also drank some wine, his face was a little red, and when he saw Leng Feng coming back, he said to him: "Leng Feng, I have been thinking about whether to build a Lingyan Pavilion and hang portraits of heroes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty on it to commend them. achievements?"

Fang Xuanling was on the other side of Li Shimin. After hearing the emperor's words, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I will die for the king, and the king thinks about it. It is very good! Your Majesty and I have love and righteousness, and we will live forever. .”

"Lingyan Pavilion. It's pretty good to build one."

Leng Feng nodded, Lingyan Pavilion, it is said to be the Zhenguan Heroes Memorial Hall, but only the portraits are hung.

Seeing that Leng Feng also thought it was good, Li Shimin immediately became excited: "Okay, then after the matter of dividing the new lands in the Turkic Western Regions is completed, I will order the construction of Lingyan Pavilion."
