Eldest Sun Wuji’s high-pitched comments knocked all the officials out, and like a burning iron drill, it pierced directly into Li Shimin’s heart’s weak spot.

For the past few days, Li Shimin was worried about the war and the East Palace. On the surface, this battle had to be fought; However, as long as this war continued, the expansion of military power and the weakening of civil service groups were inevitable, and the future state policy of the Great Tang was likely to take shape.

In other words, it would not be easy for his eldest grandson, Wuji, to be ranked first in the Imperial Court in the future.

However, Li Shimin was surprised by Changsun Wuji’s ruthlessness and decisiveness-he had tangled with a big problem of the emperor for days, but he had actually solved it easily!

If there was a war, he would send a prince to supervise the army-Li Tai, who had just allied with Eldest Sun Wuji!

“It seems that the auxiliary machine has already sensed my will, and knows what is the most difficult thing in my heart. What a wonderful move he has made right now!” Li Shimin was both shocked and sighed in his heart, “If I follow his orders to send Li Tai to supervise the army, then this person is recommended by the auxiliary machine. At the same time, Li Tai is also the nephew and political ally of the auxiliary machine.” In this way, the imperial court would be able to maintain a balance in the future, and civil servants led by auxiliaries would not be overwhelmed by the military. However, this way, Tai’er’s reputation would greatly increase. “Originally, he was only outstanding in his civil service, but now he has added martial arts … Auxiliary equipment, this is clearly choosing a crown prince for me!”

“Previously, you chose Zhi’er to supervise the country for me, but now it’s Tai’er …. Is this imperial court mine or yours to shake the heavens and earth like this?”

At this point, Li Shimin’s eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Eldest Sun Wuji lowered his head and cupped his hands. He didn’t see it, but his back felt a chill in his heart.

Actually, Eldest Sun Wuji was also clear that his words were somewhat taboo, and they had violated the forbidden area in the Emperor’s heart. But in this situation, he had no choice but to say–otherwise, he would just sit there and wait to die!

All of the officials present realized how powerful this was and held their breath, not daring to speak out. Who would say anything else? Even Old Niu Xiao was obediently silent.

Li Shimin restrained the sharp light in his eyes. He turned to look at King Wei who was standing in the middle of the class and said, “Li Tai, your uncle recommended you to the military supervisor. Can you do it?”

Li Tai was already extremely nervous. Hearing his father’s words, he almost jumped up on the spot. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to the ground. “This son is willing to share the burden for father, and is willing to serve the country through fire and water!”

“But you haven’t been on the battlefield, you don’t know anything about the military!” Li Shimin said calmly, “War is not a joke, not a poem, graffiti, drum, a slight mistake, heaven and earth, countless casualties.” This battle is related to the rise and fall of our Great Tang Country. If you take my place in the front line, the soldiers will not be able to let go of their worries. What would you do if you pretended to be an ignorant commander? ”

Li Tai was obviously prepared. He hurriedly said, “If Father Monarch Meng doesn’t abandon sending me to the army, I will definitely share the hardships and hardships with the soldiers. I will not ask any questions about the tactical arrangements for the frontline battle. It is up to the generals to decide. Only when it comes to the strategic policy of our Great Tang Empire, I will remember the instructions of my father and remind the generals.”

“En, if you really do this, you will be a qualified supervisor.” At this point, Li Shimin paused for a moment and said, “Ai Qing, Situ Jianyan wants King Wei to go to the front instead of me, can you?”

Who would dare to say anything? This was clearly because Eldest Sun Wuji had joined hands with Li Tai to compete with the Emperor! Who would dare to interfere in a fight between two tigers?

“Li Tai, get up first!” After Li Shimin gave the order, Li Tai could only obediently stand up and return to his class. Fang Xuanling and the others standing behind him could clearly see that his thick and fat neck was already covered in cold sweat, and the hem of his royal uniform was also trembling slightly.

“Situ, your suggestion is not bad.” Li Shimin said, “This battle was supposed to be an imperial expedition, but for various reasons, we were unable to make it. Sending a prince to take my place is a good idea. However, I have so many princes, why do you recommend King Wei alone?”

This casual question was like a knife, coldly and brilliantly placed on the neck of Eldest Sun Wuji.

The officials all knew that Changsun Wuji had been at odds with Li Tai, but he had suddenly formed a political alliance with Li Tai. Everyone knew the reason and reason, and it was only the combination of the weak and the weak to resist the strong, aiming straight at the Eastern Palace. At this critical juncture, Changsun Wuji risked his life to push Li Tai out of the water, so how could Li Shimin, as an emperor, let him go?

It was related to the destiny of the country and the Storage Monarch. Even if the Emperor had this thought in his heart, it could not be said that he had completely obeyed the ministers’ wishes. Li Shimin’s heart was as clear as a mirror. He didn’t know what the two of them were thinking. He had also expected the consequences. If Li Tai was allowed to go to Lanzhou, what reason would there be for not letting Li Tai be the Crown Prince?

Li Tai inherited Jiang Shan. As Prime Minister of Zhenguan, Eldest Sun Wuji, what reason did Li Tai’s biological uncle not become the number one official in the future? At that time, could Li Tai control him? With Qin Mubai as the representative of the military, could they reach a tacit understanding with Li Tai and become his trusted aides through this battle? Regardless of whether it was possible or not, would the military be able to contend against Eldest Sun Wuji in the future?

A series of important questions were vividly expressed in Li Shimin’s question.

Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and his breathing became somewhat stifled. ‘”Your Majesty, I have already answered this question. King Wei, Li Tai and De Wangsu are well-educated and well-mannered. They are worthy of being able to withstand the hardships of the army. They are the most suitable candidates!”

“Haha, the repetition is accurate!” Li Shimin laughed.

Eldest Sun Wuji’s heart jammed, and he didn’t dare to say anything else.

“King Wei is very outstanding, but Ge is limited to Wen Tao so far. As for marching, it is a martial strategy. Even if I want to train him in martial arts, it is definitely not the time to use this great battle that concerns the survival of the country as a trial.” Li Shimin said, “Just like a child who has just learned calligraphy, he can only use cheap paper. There is no need to use high-grade precious paper, right? There are many famous calligraphers in history who practice calligraphy on the sand.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of Changsun Wuji and Li Tai felt a chill down their spines-it was over! He was seen through by the Emperor at one glance, and then cut off at his waist! ! !

“I agree to send a prince to supervise the army of Kansai, but King Wei may not be the most suitable candidate.” Li Shimin paused for a moment and looked down at the officials. “Why don’t you ask the ministers to choose an outstanding person among my sons?” He said loudly.

No one dared to speak.

If he said his second name, wouldn’t it be obvious that he was going to slap Eldest Sun Wuji’s face and tear down Li Tai’s stage?

“What? Don’t tell me none of my sons possess this ability? My son is not Dragon Child, but a wine bag and rice bag?” Li Shimin asked.

Still no one dared to speak. At a time like this, he would definitely shoot the bird in the head. Whoever said it would have great luck!

Today, this seemingly calm court meeting was actually filled with dangers. As long as someone expresses their stance and shows their good luck, the prince he recommended will become the emperor in the future, then he will definitely be rich in the future. However, the premise was that they weren’t killed by Changsun Wuji and Li Tai before they developed. On the other hand, if he forcefully supported Li Tai as the supervisor at this time, it would show that he was the eldest grandson party and that he was working together to build momentum for Li Tai on the sensitive issue of the Eastern Palace Dispute and exert pressure on the Emperor! –Isn’t that courting death!

The current situation was that the Emperor hadn’t even completely accepted Sun Wuji’s suggestion. Even so, some of his fellow disciples couldn’t help but wonder-what kind of onion am I? Don’t be courting death!

“Alright, don’t tell me. I’ll tell you.” Li Shimin wasn’t in a hurry. He said slowly, “The first thing that a prince needs to do to become the Commander of the Guanxi Army Army is to have both character, morality and reputation.” There are indeed a few of my sons who only know how to speak and do not ask about state affairs and military affairs. Sending such a prince would only be a burden, and it would make the people of the world laugh at me! Secondly, we must be proficient in military affairs. As the saying goes, a person who doesn’t understand military affairs is like a mountain apart. It is absolutely a calamity for this army if he comes to the army and holds the power to control his mouthpiece. I, do not dare to take the country war as a joke, let alone the lives of the frontline soldiers. Out of these two considerations, I would like to remind all the ministers that there is only one person. ”

The officials held their breaths and listened attentively.

“King Wu, Li Ke.”

Hearing these four words, Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly raised his head, sweating profusely on his face. Li Tai’s eyes widened, and his face instantly turned ashen.

“What’s the matter?” Li Shimin’s tone was still calm as he looked at Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Tai and said, “Isn’t it appropriate for me to recommend someone?”

No one dared to speak.

Li Shimin smiled, “Situ, King Wei, don’t you think too much?”

Hearing these words, both of them were shocked as if they were being whipped. Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, “This lowly official didn’t think too much! This lowly official has no objection …”

“This son also feels that Third Emperor Brother King Wu is more suitable than this son for the position of Commander of the Guanxi Army Army.” Li Tai’s face turned ashen as he walked out of the class and answered.

Everyone knew that among Li Shimin’s sons, Li Ke was definitely the most outstanding if he could synthesize his strength with Wen Wu. Perhaps his Wen Tao was not as dazzling as Li Tai, but Li Ke was always diligent and knowledgeable. From astronomy and geography to Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Buddhism, all of them dabbled in it. Although none of them were outstanding, there was no obvious weakness-this was quite different from Li Tai’s! Li Tai definitely didn’t know anything about military strategy!

Moreover, when the three kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula had requested the Great Tang to mediate, Li Ke bravely went to a dangerous foreign country and acted as the envoy of the Great Tang to mediate the chaos in the three kingdoms, and he had achieved complete success!

Not to mention the merits, just this courage alone was already something that Li Tai and the others could not compare to–and what about Li Tai? He only had the merit of being a scholar and the name of being a scholar. In martial arts, he was a blank space! When Li Ke sent out to Goguryeo, he even patted his forehead to celebrate. He secretly rejoiced that he had finally lost a neck enemy. It would be best if this third brother, who was praised by his father as “Yingguo-like me”, died in Goryeo and didn’t come back!

The third reason was that Li Ke succeeded Li Daozong, who was busy in Lanzhou, and officially took over as the governor of You Zhou. Apart from the prince, he was also a feudal official, like Qin Mubai, guarding the frontier and dismounting the army-he was originally a commander in chief. Moreover, he had always done a good job. The northeast border of the Great Tang was still considered Ning Ding. Although Khitan, Mohe, Goguryeo, and other clan states had long been eager to move, they still didn’t dare to make any mistakes in the Youzhou Might!

The fourth reason was that Li Ke and Qin Mubai were symmetrical partners, and they had a tacit understanding and friendship. It didn’t matter if they sent troops to fight, they didn’t treat them to dinner. If the generals didn’t agree with them, they would be doomed. Li Tai and the other princes might not dare to guarantee this.

For these four reasons, is there anyone more suitable than Li Ke?

Therefore, when Li Shimin said the name “Li Ke”, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately despaired; Li Tai also admitted defeat on the spot. Not convinced, no.

And now that he wasn’t clearly running for Crown Prince, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn’t even use his “bloodline” to obstruct him-once, this was his most powerful weapon. It wasn’t that Li Shimin hadn’t mentioned Li Ke as his storage, but the eldest Sun Wuji’s words, “Li Ke has the blood of the former Sui Dynasty, and he crippled his descendants and established the Ancient Dao of Calamity”, had sealed Li Shimin’s mouth to death.

Now that things had come to this point, what else could Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Tai say? At this moment, they were only praying in their hearts: after all, it was not the time to officially confirm the crown prince’s choice. I hope I was thinking too much! –Don’t be the third prince Li Ke who faded away from the Imperial Court and was not the direct third prince, the one who benefited from the blessing in disguise will take the lead! That would be a mess!

“Mm” Li Shimin grunted and inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sharp and meaningful smile. Immediately, he said, “Xuan Ling, what do you mean?”

Fang Xuanling silently stood up and bowed. “This lowly official believes that the proposal of the eldest grandson Situ is feasible. The prince that His Majesty is in charge of is also competent.”

“I have no objection!”

The officials heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

This included King Jin and Li Zhi!

“So this matter is settled just like that?” Li Shimin deliberately asked and inadvertently looked at Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Tai.

The feeling of marrying someone else was not good. At this moment, no matter how profound Eldest Sun Wuji’s mansion was, the expression on his face was already extremely ugly. After all, Li Tai was a little younger, and his lips almost lost their color due to such a huge change and sudden blow. He didn’t know how he managed to stand firm.

“Since all the beloved officials have no objections, then alright!”–Send my decree. The imperial edict is 600 li in a hurry to Youzhou, ordering the Governor of Youzhou, Li Ke, to return to the capital immediately to oversee the order! For the time being, the Liaodong Road Army’s marching chief, Cheng Zhijie, will take over the position of the Great Governor. ”

“Life left general, Baiji make Li Junxian temporarily unload its position, also serve as the inspection right dragon martial guard general; With Qin Tong, the commander of the Left Dragon Martial Guard and the General of the Left Dragon Martial Guard, he immediately commanded the hundred thousand Dragon Martial Guards troops. “General Li Daliang of the Right Guard of the Prefecture has ordered his troops to gather together with Li Junxian and Qin Tong’s troops. A total of 151,000 of them will be heading to Lanzhou together to obey Qin Mubai’s orders!”

“The battle is like a war horse. There’s no need to wait for King Wu.”

“Destroy, General Yuchi Baolin of the Zuolong Martial Guards, lead our Imperial Featherwood Guards to Songzhou to assist Yuchi Jingde’s troops. Order your father and son to lead the Sichuan troops across the Jinchuan River to assist the Kansai expedition to Tibet!”

“Destiny! Right Dragon Martial Guard General Cheng Huaibi will lead our 10,000 Featherwood Guards to Taozhou to take over Li Daliang’s post as Governor of Taozhou. He will lead the local army and people to continue to hunt down the remaining Tibetan bandits in order to ensure the peace of the region!”

“Life, the original inspector right dragon martial guard general Qin Bin for Baiji deputy supervisor, temporarily Li Junxian line of Baiji, but don’t have to go to the office every day. I should have ordered you to go out together, but your three brothers are wearing filial piety and have mothers in the hall. You can’t go all the way out, you must at least leave a son to serve the high hall in filial piety. “Just order Qin Bin to stay in Chang’an to guard Ding You’s filial piety and treat it as the path of human relations!”

‘”I, officially decree that Qin Mubai lead the three armed forces to conquer the plateau and launch the final battle against Tibet! Any tactical method of using troops against the enemy is expedient. As for the national policy, we must discuss it with Commander Shi Li Ke. If there is anything difficult to adjudicate, report it to the Imperial Court for decision before proceeding!”

“Three days from now, I will personally go to the barracks and offer sacrifices to the Heavenly God’s Zhuang Army! I will reward the soldiers of the three armies and set out for the war!”

“This official has issued a decree-Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor!!”

…

After the court meeting dissipated, the civil and military forces left the Martial Hall in succession. Dark clouds covered the sky, and a cold wind blew through the palace.

The civil servants and martial artists simultaneously tightened their necks and walked quickly. Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Tai did not say a word as they walked out of Taiji Palace and sat down in a sedan chair, heading straight home.

Fang Xuanling knitted his eyebrows and cut his back as he slowly walked on the long stairs of the Dragon Tail Road. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at the sky. He thought to himself, “Things are hard to predict in this world, and the Sovereign Heart is hard to predict! Who would have thought that King Wu would return at this time?” The Cold Moon Border Pass was filled with flames; the temple was also filled with sudden changes in the wind and clouds! ”
