I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 511 Suddenly I Regret Coming to Feng Chan
Kakaka.

The wheels drove over Guandao Mountain, leaving behind ruts.

Light rain fell from the sky, moistening the earth.

The emperor's Fengchan convoy has been on the journey for more than a month. Every time it reaches a city, it will stop for a while to accept the worship of the local officials and experience the people's feelings.

Of course, it was also because the queen was weak and couldn't bear the long-distance travel, so she could only stop and go, so that she could get enough rest.

On this day, a fast horse galloped forward until Li Shimin's dragon chariot.

In an instant, a voice came from the dragon chariot:
"Call the ministers participating in politics to come to me."

After a while.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Xu Fenglei and other important officials gathered in the dragon chariot.

Although the emperor's carriage was very large, it was still a bit crowded with so many people crammed in at once.

"Conditions are limited, so make do with it."

Li Shimin patted a letter on the square table in the middle, and said in a deep voice,

"I'm away from home, but I still have to deal with daily things, and I don't have to stop for a moment."

"I would have known that I would have kept a group of people in the court, and it would have saved me so much fatigue."

How comfortable it was on vacation last year!

It's fun to play, and you don't have to worry about things in the palace.

But now, he is on a hurry and has to manage politics... He is really tired.

"It's not good to stay, Feng Chan is such a big event, it may not happen once in hundreds of years, everyone wants to come and see the world."

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"No matter who your Majesty keeps, he will not be happy."

All the ministers nodded.

If you miss such a grand event, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!
Anyway, they are trying their best to come!

"Hey, that's all, just take a look."

Li Shimin raised his hand and said,

"Feng An from Lingnan made a performance, Dong Liao rebelled, and asked the court to put down the rebellion."

"Let's discuss!"

Xu Fenglei took over the memorial and watched it together with Fang Xuanling and others.

"In the land of south of the Five Ridges, there are many tribes, and the chieftain is always making trouble, which is indeed a hidden danger."

"Yeah, isn't Feng An also a tribal leader? He's just willing to accept Wang Hua and join Datang."

"Pharmacist, what do you think? You are familiar with the south, how should the imperial court start to put down the chaos?"

Several people discussed it one after another.

In the end, all eyes fell on Li Jing.

When fighting the world, Li Shimin fought the northern half, and Li Jing fought the southern half.

In terms of intensity, the battle on the northern front was more intense.

But in terms of scale, the scale of the southern line is even bigger!
Therefore, in this emergency, Li Jing has the absolute right to speak!
"In the smoggy place in the south of the Five Ridges, if you are not a local, you will be unaccustomed to the water and soil, or even poisoned."

Li Jing murmured,
"I thought that the imperial court should not send troops rashly, otherwise the losses would be huge. This is not a question of combat effectiveness, nor has it anything to do with tactics."

"It's purely in that place. The barbarian has too much advantage in fighting at home. It's not something our army can bear if they play any dirty tricks."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Xu Fenglei also nodded in agreement:

"I agree with the pharmacist. The northern soldiers have less than [-]% of their combat effectiveness in the smoky southern land! If they are designed to injure twice, the battle damage will be very staggering."

"Also, don't look at it as just a tribal rebellion. The tribal relationships in Lingnan are intricate, and they are likely to connect with each other. When the time comes to unite against our army, it will be even more troublesome."

"It must be treated with caution. When fighting against such a small tribe, the imperial court's heavenly soldiers should win, but if the fight is ugly, or even returns without success, it will definitely reduce my Tang's prestige in Lingnan, and even A large-scale rebellion broke out!"

Why did the ancient dynasties have little interest in the South Vietnamese countries in Southeast Asia and Silla Baekje in Northeast Asia?
It is because there is no benefit in fighting that place, and if you insist on fighting, you may cause trouble and lower your prestige.

The Qing Dynasty's attack on Myanmar in later generations is an example. Small Myanmar caused many famous generals in the Qing Dynasty to fall, and four consecutive coaches were killed. Zhang Zong Qianlong felt distressed and his hands trembled.

"It makes sense."

Li Shimin nodded seriously and said,

"But if the court doesn't send troops, isn't it too good?"

"After all, Feng An has written the letter, and he must want to get help from the court. If I remain indifferent, he may feel disobedient in his heart."

This is the defect of the restraint system.

It is a test of the monarch's methods against the old lords in those places. If they fail, they will rebel.

"If you don't give it to soldiers, you can give it to others."

Xu Fenglei said casually,

"Give money, food, armor and swords."

"Let him raise local people as soldiers and horses to form an army to suppress the rebellion."

"Locals won't be unaccustomed to fighting locals, and Dong Liao has no geographical advantage. Feng An can completely crush opponents with sophisticated weapons and strong backup."

Upon hearing the words, Changsun Wuji immediately echoed:

"The grand master is right."

"The imperial court only supports money, food, weapons and armor, which not only shows its support, but also can see how many catties Feng An has."

"If he gets such a big help, he can't even subdue a small cave lizard, then he has no right to be the king in Lingnan."

"In the document that His Majesty replied, it is also necessary to put some pressure on him to urge him to suppress the rebellion."

Li Shimin laughed.

"The auxiliary machine's words make sense, and I really have this heart."

He clapped his hands and said,

"If Lingnan wants to be peaceful, there must be someone who can stand the boss. Otherwise, if the rebellion is suppressed today and the rebellion will be repeated tomorrow, how will they survive?"

"This time, I have to see if he has the strength! If he does, I will naturally reward him and give him more support; but if he doesn't, then Lingnan's affairs are up to him, and I may have to choose someone else."

"Hmm... that's what it means! Xuanling, go back and draft the imperial decree, and send it out today!"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands slightly.

"According to the order."

He couldn't help yawning.

"Seeing that you are all quite tired, go back and rest instead of running around."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"In the next few days, we have to speed up, try not to stop halfway, and go straight to Mount Tai!"

"When you arrive at Mount Tai, take a good rest for a few days, recharge your spirits, and then follow me to enshrine Zen! Let's enjoy the grand ceremony together!"

Hearing the words, all the ministers were lifted up in spirits!
If you have a goal in mind, you will not be afraid of being tired!

What a glorious thing it is to be able to consecrate Zen together with the emperor and worship heaven and earth!

"According to the order!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Fang Xuanling and the others got up, reluctantly saluted in the narrow compartment, and then went out.

"Listen."

Li Shimin suddenly said,

"You stay here."

Xu Fenglei was taken aback for a moment, and stopped drilling out.

"Your Majesty, what else is there?"

he said.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, took out two cigarettes from his arms, and threw one to Xu Fenglei.

"Come with me."

he whispered,

"I suddenly regret coming to Feng Chan."
