Chapter 394 Chapter 405: On Border Defense

"You...you..." Kong Yingda trembled with anger, pointed at Li Hao, and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, no one will die if they don't eat breakfast! It's just nonsense! Talking nonsense..."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and shrugged, "Now you see, I'm the kind of person who will die if I don't eat breakfast." After he finished speaking, he turned around specially so that Kong Yingda could take a closer look.

The other ministers frowned. Li Hao's gags were really not a cover-up, but they couldn't expose it. After all, they don't know medical skills, and they don't have any authority in terms of pathology. Li Hao saved lives with his superb medical skills. Wei Zheng and Qin Qiong's people, the name of the doctor is out, he said that he has a stomach problem, who dares to say that he doesn't have it, the hospital said nothing.

In normal times, Li Shimin would have scolded Li Hao for being a rascal in the courtroom like this, but today Li Shimin looked at him with a smile on his face, feeling secretly refreshed, oh, seeing these old fellows slumped, how frightfully comforting, poetry madman really is Well done.

Li Hao just turned his head and saw Li Shimin smiling at him, so he also raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Shimin. Although he didn't speak, his small eyes seemed to say, "How about it, I am very professional."

Seeing that Li Hao wasn't unhappy because he didn't get the reward, Li Shimin felt relieved, waved his hands and said, "Okay, this is the end of the matter, and the reward for Poet Kuang will be discussed in the future. Kong Jijiu and Poet Kuang , you put it in line first, and then, let’s discuss and settle the matter of Beiting Protectorate.”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately fell silent. The Beiting Dufu Mansion is an important military and political institution to consolidate the frontier defense. It plays a vital role in the stability of the frontier. The Tang Dynasty now has more than a thousand miles to expand. It's just a starting point, and keeping and managing the frontier land well is the focus of the next step.

Li Shimin said slowly: "Do you have any good advice for the resettlement of Beiting Protectorate?"

The ministers look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, Li Shimin is not happy, when he hates Li Hao, these guys are very energetic, when it comes to military and state affairs, they all become boring gourds, Li Shimin can't help but think of Li Hao once According to the comments made by the ministers of the court, it is true that there are too many people eating vegetarian meals in the court.

In fact, there is not much to say about the placement of Beiting Dufu Mansion. Isn’t it just sending a series of people to guard the frontier fortress? There, so they don't have anyone to recommend, so naturally they don't talk.

Seeing that the officials were silent, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Hao, and asked, "Shi Kuang, you conquered this thousand-mile territory. You can say that you know everything about it. Do you have any good ideas?"

Li Hao went out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I can recommend a candidate for the post of Protector of Beiting Protectorate."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Who is it?"

Li Hao said: "This person is Qin Wei, the governor of Tingzhou."

"Qin Wei..." Li Shimin frowned and thought about it, then said, "I seem to have heard of this name before."

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, when I served as the governor of Tingzhou, after I overthrew the traitor Cao Tian, ​​it was this Qin Wei who took over the post of Tingzhou temporarily. Nod, the Ministry of Households issued an official document appointing him as the governor of Tingzhou."

"Oh, it's him!" Li Shimin finally remembered the words, nodded, and said, "I heard that this person is good at judging things, he is extremely intelligent, and he acts justly. He is very popular among the people of Tingzhou."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, you can't, Qin Wei was once a desert horse bandit. How important is the role of guardian, how can this person be appointed."

Li Shimin froze when he heard the words, frowned, and meditated, Changsun Wuji was right, the Beiting Governor's Mansion was concerned with the safety of the frontier fortress, and there was no room for loss, so he was a little hesitant to ask a man from a horse bandit to be the guard.

At this time, Li Hao said again: "If Your Majesty feels that Qin Wei is inappropriate, I can recommend another person."

Li Shimin heard the words and asked: "Who else would Poet Madness recommend?"

Li Hao said: "Tingzhou Zhechong Captain Wang Yuantai."

Li Shimin nodded immediately when he heard the words: "I have heard the name Wang Yuantai several times. At the beginning, he was willing to believe in you and offered you a prescription to quell the plague in Henan. When he was the captain of Guoyi in Tingzhou, he also followed you. Made a lot of achievements.”

Changsun Wuji said again at this time: "Your Majesty, Wang Yuantai is more than brave but not resourceful. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this important task. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shimin frowned again and pondered. Li Hao turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji also turned his head to glance at Li Hao quietly. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to touch each other.

Li Hao knew that Changsun Wuji was going to tear himself apart, as smart as Li Hao, he immediately guessed that this time the ministers objected to awarding him, it must be Changsun Wuji who was causing trouble, and he was the only one with such great ability. He is suppressing himself.

It's a pity, Li Hao sighed secretly, if Changsun Wuji could be dedicated to the public like Fang Xuanling, he could continue to be his court boss, even if he couldn't be the first brother, he would at least be like the second brother. It's a pity that he offended himself.

Li Hao is not in a hurry, he has to deal with Changsun Wuji, the fire is not yet ready, and he will soon be able to slap Changsun Wuji hard, because he already has a way to get Li Zhi to sit on the prince's position. Support Li Tai to the top, hehe, let's dream.

Just as Li Shimin was pondering, Su Dingfang suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "Mr. Xing, please tell me."

Su Dingfang said: "I was besieged in Tingzhou by the armies of various countries for eight days. I have seen Qin Wei and Wang Yuantai and worked with them to resist the enemy. I know something about this."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "In that case, Mr. Xing might as well comment on these two people."

"Yes!" Su Dingfang cupped his hands, "I think that no matter which of these two people are, they are qualified to take the position of Chief Protector of Beiting Protectorate."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was quite surprised. Is Su Dingfang supporting Li Hao?On the side, Changsun Wuji slowly frowned.

Su Dingfang continued: "Qin Wei has a lot of knowledge and has managed the originally desolate Tingzhou to prosperity, and this person is also quite involved in marching and formation. The reason why I was able to defend Tingzhou is thanks to this person's advice. It is this person who is full of courage, dedicated to serving the country, and often regrets what he went astray at the beginning, there is a saying that is good, don't ask the source of the hero, I am willing to guarantee with my life, Qin Wei is available!"

The ministers were shocked again when they heard the words. Su Dingfang was willing to guarantee Qin Wei with his life.
Li Shimin was also quite surprised, and became more and more curious about Qin Wei in his heart, but he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "What about Wang Yuantai, how do you comment on Wang Yuantai?"

Su Dingfang said: "Wang Yuantai was originally a soldier with little literacy, but when Li Hao served as the governor of Tingzhou, Wang Yuantai followed Li Hao to learn battle formation, military art, and martial arts, which was quite effective. Later, Li Hao resigned and returned to Chang'an , Wang Yuantai has been diligent in learning. Although he is nearly forty years old, he still recites books every day. Now he has become a good minister who is both courageous and brave. He has done a lot of meritorious service, and I think it is more than enough for this person to take up the post of Protector of Beiting."

After listening to Su Dingfang's words, Li Shimin was satisfied, nodded frequently, and muttered to himself: "My Tang Dynasty is really outstanding. First Xue Rengui came out, and now Qin Wei and Wang Yuantai came out. It is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. It is my fault that the pearl is covered with dust."

Changsun Wuji's face immediately became gloomy when he heard the words. He never expected that Su Dingfang would suddenly jump out to disrupt the situation. Su Dingfang's position is aloof, and he also stayed in Tingzhou. What he said was so convincing that even he couldn't help it. refute.

Li Shimin turned to look at Su Dingfang, and asked, "Mr. Xing thinks, Qin Wei or Wang Yuantai, which one is more suitable to be the Chief Protector of Beiting Protectorate?"

Su Dingfang thought for a while, and said: "I think Qin Wei is more suitable for the post of Protector of Beiting Protectorate."

"Okay!" Li Shimin said, "Then Qin Wei will be appointed as the Chief Protector of Beiting, and Wang Yuantai will be the Deputy Chief Protector. Do you have any objections?"

The officials look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.

Seeing that there was no objection, Li Shimin said cheerfully: "Then it's decided, and the two will be appointed as the Chief Protector and Deputy Protector of Beiting, and the government will be tentatively designated as Tingzhou."

Su Ding nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

But Li Hao suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Everyone looked at Li Hao with doubts, and Li Shimin was also quite puzzled. The two people recommended by Li Hao were hired, so he wanted to say something else, so Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "What else do poets want to say?"

Li Haodao: "Nowadays the Tang Dynasty has expanded for thousands of miles. In order to better defend the frontier, the defenses of the Anxi Dufu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion should also be changed. If not, the surprise attack on Yizhou will still happen. .”

The ministers were all moved when they heard the words, and Li Shimin's expression also changed. Li Hao's proposal can be considered to be on the point. The frontier of the Western Regions has a huge area and few troops, so it is a problem to deploy defenses. Only when there is a loophole, the Western Turks took advantage of the loophole and bypassed Xizhou to attack Yizhou.

Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "How does Shi Kuang think that Anxi and Beiting's defenses should be changed?"

Li Haodao: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have studied this matter with the military strategy map just after the campaign ended, and I have gained a little. I think that the Beiting Duhufu should move the administration to the west, three miles west of Tianchi Lake A hundred miles, a new city will be built two hundred miles east of the Tianshan Mountains, and this is an important military area along the main roads of the Western Regions."

Li Shimin turned to Xu Lian and said, "Get the map!"

"Yes!" Xu Lian immediately prepared to fetch the map.

Li Hao took out the map from his pocket and said, "Your Majesty, I have a map here."

When all the ministers heard the words, they all slandered: This kid has been prepared for a long time.

Xu Lian hurried over to present the map to Li Shimin. Li Shimin spread out the map to find the location Li Hao mentioned, and finally landed his finger on a location, his eyes lit up and said: "Okay, this location is good! It really is an important military site!"

Li Hao continued: "Building a city here, echoing Tingzhou, will become a double town of Beiting, which can resist the enemy countries in the north, northwest, west, and southwest directions at the same time."

Li Shimin nodded happily: "Just do as you said, and build a new city, what should the name of the city be?"

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, the Duty of the Protectorate is to appease all the tribes and to calm the foreign invaders. It is a place where foreigners gather, and more than half of the city must be people from other races. It is also our responsibility to attract people from other races to join us in the Tang Dynasty." It is a proof of the strong national power of the Tang Dynasty, so even though it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is not suitable to act according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, I think that the city of Beiting Duhufu can be given a Chinese name and a Fan name."

"Hmm." Li Shimin twisted his beard when he heard the words, "Do you already have a city name in your heart? If so, let's hear it."

Li Haodao: "Return to Your Majesty, I have prepared two city names, the Han name is Xuanwei, and the Fan name is Urumqi."

　This volume is called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Whether it is a tiger or a dragon, they are all Li Hao's people. In this volume, I will let Li Hao gradually grow stronger and enter the house.
