A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 162
Wu Huaiyu followed An Yuanshou to the East Palace.

"I have settled Irina in Yanshoufang," An Yuanshou said, handing Huaiyu a land deed, "This house is only two acres, very simple, Brother Wu, don't dislike it."

"How embarrassing, how much is this house, I will give you the money later."

An Yuanshou immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wu, why should we be so polite? I don't know if Sheng Wanerlang is free. Let's go visit Duke Ying together."

"Okay." Huaiyu replied with a smile.

An's is the richest man in the Hexi Corridor. To them, sending an orchid and building a two-acre courtyard in Yanshoufang is really a drop in the bucket for them.

However, the rich man's money did not come from the wind. An Yuanshou once again invited him to visit the samurai Xun, which also revealed the exchange of interests in a very straightforward way.

"Erlang didn't take Irina home, could it be that he was afraid of the daughter of the Duke of Rong?"

"Well, I haven't told her about it yet, so I don't know how to speak."

The fact that Wu Huaiyu and Fan Xing's daughter and mother were together is no longer a secret among the aristocrats. An Yuanshou is well informed and has already inquired clearly, "Can't Brother Wu surrender?"

"Hahaha!"

East Palace.

Li Shimin was chatting with the Changsun family in Lizheng Hall, and the eldest grandson specially made soup for Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty should also take good care of your body. The body can't take it anymore with so much food and clothing."

Li Shimin was still looking at Zhang Shu while drinking the soup.

"Xieli's [-] cavalry are still in Weibei. It's like a sharp sword hanging above my head. If I don't drive Xieli out of the border, I can sleep peacefully in one day."

Mrs. Changsun walked over and kneaded her husband's shoulders, but did not answer the state affairs mentioned by her husband.

"I want to call Li Yi back to Beijing, let Wuji temporarily take over his post, and sit in Jingzhou, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine once read a sentence in the study, the morning of the rooster is the only thread for the family. If the hen crows in the morning, it will ruin the family. A concubine is a woman, and I dare not hear about political affairs."

Li Shimin said: "Wuji is your elder brother, not an outsider."

"The concubine's elder brother is involved, and the concubine should not talk too much." The eldest grandson gently squeezed Li Shimin's shoulders, and had no intention of interfering with his brother's future.

Li Shimin leaned back comfortably, "Focus again."

"The auxiliary machine has assisted me for many years, and my confidant has been in my staff for many years to make decisions, but I have never commanded the army to guard. I have the most military merit in the Tang Dynasty, and I lack the experience of commanding the army, especially the lack of strong military merit. At his age, I want to worship him as prime minister, but there are still some obstacles."

The grandson's movements stopped.

"Go on." Li Shimin patted his wife's hand.

But the eldest grandson came to Li Shimin and bowed down to salute, "Your Majesty, my concubine shouldn't be involved in political affairs, but since your majesty talked about my brother with my concubine, my concubine dared to speak up. Young and poor, absolutely not suitable for courtship, I don't want your Majesty to attract criticism from the government and the public because of my concubine's elder brother..."

Li Shimin helped her up, "There is no one else here, so there is no need to be so polite. There is nothing we husband and wife can't say directly. I started the army at the age of 16, and now I have finally ascended the throne. No one knows the hardships of this journey. Even now, Li Yi, Zhang Jin, Li Youliang, Li Xiaochang and others also did not accept me,
I don't need ministers and other confidantes, who should I use? "

"I won't hide it from you, the prime ministers left behind by the Supreme Emperor, I have only kicked Yang Gongren, but sooner or later they will all be replaced.

I originally planned to let Yuwen Shiji go out of Liangzhou this time, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to let the warrior Xun go. The ability of the warrior Xun is still outstanding. Since June, he has been very respectful to me. Yang Gongren's cousin-in-law, if he goes to Liangzhou to replace Li Youliang, he can also get the support of Yang Gongren's old department, and the situation will be opened quickly..."

The eldest grandson came back behind Li Shimin again and kneaded his shoulders for him.

"Your Majesty, these matters should be discussed with the prime ministers. It is not appropriate to talk to the concubines, and the concubines cannot participate."

"Guanyin maidservant, there is no outsider here, so you will give me advice. Recently, everything is complicated and the situation is dangerous. I am walking on eggshells every day. It is extremely difficult. Sometimes I really feel like I can't breathe.

In the past, I was only in charge of fighting immediately. After opening the Tiance Mansion, I only considered military affairs, but in the past two months, I feel that all kinds of thoughts have come together, especially now, one hundred thousand Turkic soldiers are still raging in Guanzhong day and night. ..."

The eldest grandson hugged her husband from behind, "Your Majesty has done a good enough job. Take it easy and take it easy. Your Majesty is still a bit unfamiliar with handling government affairs, but when it comes to fighting, your Majesty has never lost. Why should you be afraid of Jie?" what about li?"

"Thank you, Guanyin servant girl!"

A servant comes in.

"Your Majesty, An Qianniu brought Wu Qianqishi here."

"Xuan."

The Changsun family got up to avoid her, but Li Shimin held her by the hand, "Guanyin servant girl, do you think I was a little careless about Wu Huaiyu's resignation?"

But she just smiled, gently caressed the back of her husband's hand with her right hand, and then withdrew her left hand, "The concubine will leave first, and don't disturb Your Majesty's meeting with foreign ministers."

Seeing this, Li Shimin could only shake his head helplessly.

In the ten years of getting along with her, she has always been so gentle, yet so virtuous.

It seems that the ceremony of canonizing her as a queen must be held as soon as possible. No matter how busy and chaotic, this title should be given as soon as possible.

"Chenchao Sanlang Wu Huaiyu pays homage to His Majesty!"

Wu Huaiyu met at the gate of the hall, his voice pulled the emperor back from his thoughts, he looked up and saw the young man, and waved.

"Come forward."

Huaiyu stood up and stepped forward.

"Come closer."

"Come closer, this is not a court meeting, what are you doing so far away?"

Huaiyu stepped forward cautiously, Li Shimin pointed to the seat in front of him, "Sit here, let's talk closer."

"What have you been doing these days?" Li Shimin asked proactively.

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is not on duty these two days, resting at home."

Li Shimin looked at him, "Young military prisoner was dismissed after three days. I heard that you grow flowers and vegetables at home every day. You don't feel resentful towards me, do you?"

"I dare not, and I don't have the slightest complaint. It's my negligence. The military inspection is an important place to manufacture the country's heavy weapons, but I didn't manage it well. In the midst of the war, it is wrong to use precious gunpowder to produce entertainment fireworks. Well, I have deeply realized my serious mistake, and I am deeply repenting..."

"Okay, it's all set, and Wei Zheng is not here, what are you talking about." Li Shimin waved his hand, "The military inspector has changed people, and the management of Shenjifang has also been strengthened, but after thinking about it, I feel satisfied." North Korean officials, there is no one who knows more about firearms than you, and knows better about firearms,
I want you to return to the post of young military supervisor. "

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. How can a saint's will be changed from day to day? Where is the emperor's majesty? Isn't it a trifle? The minister made a mistake first, and he must be punished,"

This reaction surprised Li Shimin.

He looked at the young man, the more he looked at him, the more he admired him.

"I remember that when you just came back from Longyou, when I summoned you, I asked you about the Turks. Your judgments about the Turks at that time seem to be very accurate now.

I want to hear from you again how to deal with the Turkic people in front of you. "

"I dare not speak nonsense."

"If you tell me, you just say it straight, you know everything, you can say everything, no matter what you say, I will give you no guilt."

Huaiyu's mind was spinning rapidly. He knew the final result of the Turkic invasion, but he wondered if he could speak according to this result.

"Your Majesty, I think that the fact that the Turks invaded Guanzhong this time is not because the Turks are so strong, but that they just took advantage of our country's internal difficulties and took advantage of it. But the battle has been fought so far, compared to the Turks' invasion of Hedong last year. , I, Datang, have the upper hand.

Since Yushe set up the siege of Wucheng in June, the Turks have successively attacked Lingzhou, Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Huizhou and Xiaoguan, etc., but none of them succeeded. Annihilated many Turkic troops, and even His Majesty personally defeated [-] Turkic troops...

All these show that the Turkic people are strong on the outside and capable on the inside, but they are just silver-like wax gun heads that are not useful. "

"Then you mean war?"

"Weichen thinks that although we have won a lot of victories, we haven't made Xieli feel the pain, and haven't made him really fear and panic, so we still have to fight, we have to beat him up, and then we can let him go first. , let him return to the grassland."

These words made Li Shimin unexpected again. He thought that the young man must be the main fighter because he is full of blood.

"Since you have been beaten to death, why do you have to let it go?"

"It's not difficult to defeat him, and if he defeats 2 troops and beheads another [-] or [-], the Turkic people will panic, but it's not easy to wipe them out.

If the Turkic people engage in a battle of trapped beasts, they will be killed and the net will be broken, and both sides will inevitably suffer.

It's better to fight first, then talk about peace. Meals need to be eaten at one bite, and wars must be fought in bursts. As long as you can fight hard this time, it will definitely be possible to keep the Turks from attacking for two or three years. In three years, the internal affairs can be rectified, soldiers and horses can be trained, and in three to five years, they can plow the courtyard and sweep the acupuncture points, and solve the Turkic problem once and for all. "

What he said was too confident and optimistic, but it was also in line with Huaiyu's age.

Even a little conservative.

"Xianyang suffered such a big loss last time, and now he is much more cautious. It is not easy to defeat him with another 2 troops," Li Shimin said.

He is now staring at the map every day to study the movement of Xieli's soldiers and horses, thinking about how to defeat Xieli, but on the Weibei Plain in Guanzhong, there are [-] Turkic light cavalry, it is really too difficult to fight a war of siege, Li Shimin dare not say With full confidence.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic people are used to being arrogant. Even if they have become more honest and cautious with their tails tucked these few days, they can't be so honest all the time. They will definitely return to their old ways before long, and they will still divide their troops to loot everywhere. As long as there are more scouts, they can always catch their flaws.

As long as someone is out of touch, we can deliver a fatal blow. "

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Well, it's really inappropriate to resume your position as a young military supervisor. I will give you a thousand bulls from the left and right mansions to prepare your body, hold the sword, and serve as an attendant."
