Chapter 36 Ministry of War Meeting
"Long live my emperor."
At the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Li Shimin arrived with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Although today we were discussing the affairs of the Koryo Kingdom in Liaodong, these two people also had a say in this matter, so they brought them directly .
When Li Shimin stepped down from the imperial chariot, he looked specifically at where Li Xiang was. This guy was good, he knew how to be discreet, and he knelt around people like Liaodong Division. He was not in front of Li Jing. You have to know that according to the current rules, even if he is Li Xiang knelt in front of Li Jing, which was reasonable. Who would let him be the grandson of the emperor!
"lead the way."
After Li Shimin asked everyone to get up, he walked to Li Xiang's side. Li Xiang also understood what Li Shimin meant. He wanted to test himself. Was he just having fun after coming so early?
On the next road, Li Shimin swerved and almost passed the entire military department. In fact, Li Shimin knew what this was all about before, but today he had to test Li Xiang. Everywhere he went Everyone has to ask Li Xiang what he does here. Fortunately, Zhang Ping knows a lot. Li Xiang just asked a lot of questions. Li Xiang has asked most of Li Shimin's questions, so now he can answer them fluently.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with his grandson's performance. He originally thought that there was a sudden attack and the boy might not be able to cope with it. Unexpectedly, he answered in a reasonable and reasonable manner. It seemed that he had not been idle just now. This is true. He looks like a manager, much better than the other princes Long and Sun. After all, other people are also working in various yamen. Under the same assessment situation, none of them surpassed Li Xiang.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also looked at each other. It seemed that His Royal Highness was no joke. If it was a shocking glimpse in the court that day, then when dealing with the issues of the subordinates in the East Palace and Li Yuanchang This is a bit of a decisive killing. In addition, the cooperation with the Changsun family has been carefully considered. At least judging from the things shown so far, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun has one word that he deserves, that is, impeccable. .
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Highness the King of Wu, His Highness the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Qi, are here..."
Hearing the shouts at the gate, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned. These sons came even later than himself, and they didn't look like they were doing anything at all.
Li Xiang was also a little surprised at this moment. He originally thought that he was the only royal child, but it turned out that Li Shimin had called all the adult princes here, and he happened to meet them all today.
After the princes and highnesses heard that Li Shimin was setting off from the palace, they rushed over non-stop. However, they had no choice but to prepare a little late. They thought it would only start at noon. Who knew that Li Shimin was so impatient, which embarrassed them all.
"Everyone knows how to mess around. It's already been three days. Your nephews are already working here. You dare to come here now. I really don't know how you live. You are all fined for half a year."
After hearing Li Shimin's words, these princes all bowed their heads to admit their mistakes. Li Xiang was very depressed at this time. Why would he praise me in front of them? Isn't this just looking for trouble for me?
When Li Xiang was dissatisfied, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling thought a lot. If they were the emperor, they would also make the prince surrounded by enemies. If you can't even deal with your brothers, how will you deal with the whole world? What about the world?
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
In order not to further embarrass these princes, General Li Jing pointed to the courtyard of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War.
Li Shimin didn't want to continue to embarrass his sons in front of everyone, so he walked in while leaving the corner of his eye to observe behind. Li Xiang stood there obediently, waiting for all the uncles to enter. Li Xiangcai returned to his queue and followed Master Pan in.
General Li Jing originally thought that Li Xiang didn't understand the rules, and that working under him in the future would probably cause all kinds of friction. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang knew the rules very well when he should know them, let alone a minister like himself. Sir, even Master Pan, the mascot of the Liaodong Division, is respected very much.
After Li Shimin took his seat, on the left were the ministers of the court and on the right were the royal family members. Only Li Xiang stood obediently on the left under Lord Pan, where the deputy palm of the Liaodong Division should stay.
"For what was discussed in the court hall the day before yesterday, can your Ministry of War come up with a feasible plan? The matter of driving a wedge between Gae Yuan Suwen and the King of Goryeo is left to the auxiliary forces. You only talked about destroying his farmland."
Li Shimin divided the tasks very clearly. Yin people do dirty things. Changsun Wuji is known as the most important Yin person during the Zhenguan period. So the matter of meeting the Goryeo court must be left to this guy. Others may still be able to do it. Not up to the task.
"When I return to the Emperor, we have discussed it with everyone in the Ministry of War. After the spring next year..."
General Li Jing briefly stated the plan of the Ministry of War. It was basically the same as what Li Xiang said. When the farming was about to begin after the spring, they would send out troops to harass the farmers of Koryo, so that they would not be able to complete the farming next year. There will be no food harvest.
There was nothing outstanding about the plan, but it was quite satisfactory. After General Li Jing finished speaking, Li Shimin's test questions came, and of course they were all aimed at the prince and grandson.
"Second brother, starting with you, if you say there are any areas that need to be improved in this charter, you all should think about it and answer according to your age. If you say it well, I will reward you, and if you say it badly, I will reward you. Punishment.”
I'm really afraid of what I'm afraid of. Although these guys are usually good at it, they are basically not good at leading troops to fight. Now after hearing Li Shimin's question, none of them knew anything about it. How to answer.
"My son believes that the number of troops should be increased..."
"My son thinks that the time of harassment should be increased..."
"My son believes that we should bring good dry food to our soldiers so that they can persist in the enemy's country longer."
"My son thinks..."
Several princes answered one after another. Their answers were considered solutions, but they did not change much in the final battle situation. There was no smile on Li Shimin's face at all. Can't you give some new ideas? When I look for a master for you, both literature and martial arts are common. Is this your answer?
The sons disappointed Li Shimin...
