Chapter 358

The old Qin family set up a family banquet. Some people like Yinde imperial concubine visited the house, and the whole family was flattered. It's not the Qin family. Even the emperor's family like changsun Wuji has never been visited by Yinde imperial concubine. It's the first time.

Yinde imperial concubine is an elegant and decent person, noble and not let people have too much sense of distance, very friendly. Therefore, the family dinner was also more relaxed. But today is a special day, the atmosphere is somewhat depressing and depressing.

After dinner, Princess Gaoyang stayed in the palace of emperor's son-in-law. Yinde imperial concubine insists on going back, saying that the emperor is seriously ill now. How can she sleep out as an imperial concubine? She said that her father was really sick and didn't let us go to visit him. She didn't know what was wrong with him. No, I have to see it tomorrow.

Qin mubai stopped her, saying that now the situation is special, you should not make mistakes. Princess Gaoyang did not insist, but her heart was still not smooth.

Later, Qin mubai arranged guards and chariots to send Princess Gaoyang's mother and daughter back to the palace. Li daozong and his daughter lived in Chang'an City, but they were free, so they stayed and continued to drink tea. Li Xueyan is a smart and sensible woman. Knowing that her father and Qin mubai have important business to discuss, she follows Shuanger to accompany those little orphans.

Soon, Li Ji came to the door, dressed in casual clothes and riding lightly.

Three people then sat in the quiet room, boiling tea on the matter, straight to the point of direct discussion.

Li daozong said: "mubai, when it was like this, we shouldn't discuss these troublesome things with you. But in an extraordinary time, please put aside your private thoughts and put state affairs first. "

"You don't have to say much about it, Mr. Qin has his own priorities." Qin mubai said, "the incident of demon son suddenly caught me by surprise. My heart aches, but it's not in chaos. What a man should do is to do something. I won't leave a thing behind. "

"Well, that's good." Li daozong nodded admiringly and said to Li Ji, "Mr. Mao, I specially invite you to come here today to listen to your opinions. The king has not been in court for a long time. Although the hall was opened, it is still far away from Youzhou, but national affairs can not be ignored. Now such a great change has taken place on the court hall, which is the time to innovate the old tripod. At such a juncture, there are both great risks and great opportunities. It's an important turning point in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, we who are ministers should spare no effort to share our worries for the monarch and seek for our country. "

"What the LORD said is true." Li Ji's indifferent smile. He stroked his beard and said, "in fact, Li knows what Wang Ye and mubai want to discuss with me. Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Today is different from the past. Although Mr. Li is usually a coward, he will not have any reservation at the moment. We should say everything we know and say everything we can to repay their trust. "

"Ha ha!" Qin mubai said with a smile, "my uncle is really joking. If you are as timid as a mouse, who was the 17-year-old commander in chief of Wagang village? I also heard from my father that Li mi came to surrender to you after he was demoted to the Tang Dynasty. You surrender to the Tang Dynasty as a minister of Li mi. He was praised by Emperor Gaozu for his loyalty and righteousness. My father never praises people easily, but in his opinion, my uncle is the one who really values emotion and righteousness. It's just that we never talk about it, but put it into action. Mr. Qin has always admired the character and morality of his uncle. "

"Ha ha! Did your father ever admire me? It would be nice if he didn't scold me in the back Li Ji said with a laugh, "my brother Qin has been as upright as fire for so many years. He can't rub any sand in his eyes. Sometimes, I'm really in awe of him. I don't have to say that you are much more intelligent and tactful than your father, but you are also passionate in your heart. Otherwise, I might not have bandaged my hand today. "

"I'm ashamed." Qin Mu Bai arched his hand with a self mocking smile. "At that time, he was very angry and completely forgetful. I can only recognize my bone cutting enemy in front of me. I don't remember who he is, and I forget the law of the state. "

"Chong Guan is angry, and the man is hot-blooded. Why should he say that?" Li daozong said with an indifferent smile, "if I were 20 years younger, I would act like you. How can we fight and kill? It's a man's true nature to dare to be a shoulder of happiness and misfortune. Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Mao. If you could think about it and fear your hands and feet at that time, you wouldn't have cut off a piece of your own meat for Shan xiongxin to eat. "

"Ha ha, OK, OK, we don't have to talk about such things." Li Ji waved his hand and said with a smile, "well, all the people here are hot-blooded heroes, heroic and chivalrous, OK? The flattery is over. Shall we get down to business? "

"Well, you have to be a hero to sit together and discuss such state affairs." Qin mubai jokingly said with a smile, "merciless is not necessarily a real hero. How can Lianzi not be her husband and encourage them together?"

"Ha ha!" Li daozong and Li Ji laughed together, and praised Qin, mu, Bai, Wen and Wu for their eloquence.

Qin mubai, who has done another act of plagiarism, laughs to himself and is born with such praise.

"Mao Gong, what do you think of Chang sun Wuji, who urged you to stop fighting with Tubo?" As the atmosphere became more active and the distance between them became closer, Li daozong got to the point.

Li Ji nodded and said: "in fact, from the overall situation, changsun Wuji is not wrong. As the saying goes, a man who knows his weapons is not belligerent, and if he kills one thousand enemies, he will lose eight hundred. After all, war is not a good thing. Especially now, my Tang Dynasty suddenly suffered from the collapse of the east palace. The court hall is in a state of panic. Your majesty is sick and unable to serve. It would be worse for our country if we were to use force to increase our forces at this time. ""But in the long run, if we give up the fighter at this time, it will be a great loss to Datang." Qin mubai said, "Tubo and Tang Dynasty have been fighting for several years. They have changed all kinds of tactics to fight against me, but they can't win. Now that they failed to propose, they returned to the plateau with a mouthful of resentment and instigated the rebellion of Gaochang. They wanted to blockade Datang from the outside and extend our front. As we all know, the control of Tang Dynasty in the western regions has always been weak. From Liangzhou in the east to Congling in the west, there are dozens of countries with a territory of ten thousand li, all of which are adjacent to China, and they are covetous of the richness of the Central Plains. There, although there are some countries that claim to be officials of the Tang Dynasty, which means Gaochang, in fact, it is just a false name. On the contrary, Tubo and Western Turks had more control over them. Originally, people were thousands of miles away, and it didn't matter much to me if I didn't surrender. However, the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty is a source of fresh water, and being cut off is not only a loss of wealth, but also extremely unsafe in terms of long-term strategy. If Gao Chang turns his back on us and turns a blind eye, other small countries will dare to follow suit. In this way, the prestige and control of the Tang Dynasty in the western regions would be lost. As a result, Tubo dared to tangle with these allies and attack the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the ants will eat the elephants. In addition to the tiger lying on the side of the couch, how can Datang deal with it? "

"What mubai said is very true." Li Ji said, "it seems that your majesty did not mistake you. You really have a long-term strategic vision. Yes, Gao changfan is just a disease of scabies. However, if we allow them to be free, they will become troubles in the heart and the elbow. It's not terrible for the Tang Dynasty to lose a subordinate country that gives some cattle and sheep tools to play with every year, and it's not terrible to lose the wealth of the silk road. The fatal thing is the fierce tiger and ant colony. Within a hundred years, the Central Plains will be in great danger. Lanzhou is a pair of fists of the Tang Dynasty in the western regions. At this time, if you don't fight out, you will be beaten without backhand in the future. From this point of view, Lanzhou must send troops and never sit idly by and watch Gao Chang rebel! "

Speaking of this, Li Jidun, sonorous way: "my personal position, support Lanzhou troops, West attack Gaochang! And take this opportunity to attack the western regions. However, this is not a simple thing! Not to mention that there are many small countries, complicated politics and religions, and the big forces such as Tubo and Western Turk are behind them. When it comes to military force, we can't achieve the goal of dominating the western regions. To attack the city, attack the heart, attack the soldiers and govern the people, we must do both. It's not that I speak ill of brother Qin behind someone's back. The second elder brother Qin has absolutely no problem in fighting. He has few enemies today. But he can't do without your son in order to fight and govern the people. "

"Mao Gong said a big truth." Li daozong nodded and said, "on the surface, the battle of Gaochang is just a small anti rebel war, but in fact, it is a huge battle related to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty and China's millennium plan. Commanding such a campaign requires great skill, wisdom and ability. In today's world, about four people can do it. "

"Which four?" Li Ji sipped his tea and asked with a smile.

Li daozong said with a smile, "don't you know what to ask? One, of course, is the pharmacist of shenweigong of Dingding army, but he is unlikely to go to battle again in his military uniform. The other is Li MaoGong, a British Duke. However, as the great wall of Northern Xinjiang, how can you escape to the western regions? Third, it is very easy for us to ignore another military God, the Emperor himself. "

"I agree." Li Ji nodded.

"The fourth, of course, is the close disciple of Duke Wei, Qin mubai." Li daozong said, "although you have studied Weigong for the shortest time, you have the most talent and the most essence. In particular, in addition to your military strengths, you also have other people's political and people's livelihood, as evidenced by the changes in Lanzhou in the past two years. "

This is not a compliment. Qin mubai did not shirk to deny it. He just said: "as the LORD said, my mentor, uncle and your majesty are all competent, but they can't go there in person. Only one of Qin is left. Smart as Chang sun Wuji and Chu suiliang, they can certainly think of these. Isn't it? "

Li daozong and Li Ji looked at each other and nodded.

"But they resolutely and decisively prevented Lanzhou from using troops. Besides considering the overall situation, is there any other purpose? " Qin mubai asked.

"Good question. This is the core of our topic today. " Li daozong's expression was more serious, and said, "the emperor was seriously ill, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin who had never been thought of, suddenly stepped on the stage. As far as I know, the Emperor gave changsun Wuji a very flexible oral instruction at that time - let him assist the prince to supervise the country, but did not say which year the prince was. The implication is to force Chang sun Wuji to declare his position and push the prince he supports onto the stage. "

"The emperor is also helpless." Li Ji said, "in recent years, the battle for the crown prince is almost in disorder. The eldest son lost his virtue, and the king of Wei rose sharply, but the eldest sun Wuji was incompatible with the king of Wei. But Chang sun Wuji is also the most trusted Prime Minister of the emperor. Although the emperor is the king of Wei recently, if the king of Wei comes to power, he will not get along with Chang sun Wuji, which is a bigger disaster than the battle for the crown prince. In desperation, the emperor forced Chang sun Wuji to declare his position. How can we expect that Chang sun Wuji is a little bold, and he even dares to push out his youngest son, Li Zhi, king of Jin. This is a complete break with the king of Wei and a clear stand with his majesty. "

"There are many owls in troubled times. I have to admit it. This time, Chang sun Wuji also went up against the current and dared to do it. " Qin mubai said, "in fact, Chang sun Wuji must understand the emperor's intention, that is, to force him to shake hands with the king of Wei at this point and make peace, so as to govern the imperial court together. But he dared to rebel against the emperor and support Li Zhi. This has to make me feel sudden and surprised. This is not like Chang sun Wuji's usual behavior. In my impression, Chang sun Wuji is the opposite of Wei Zhenggang Hao, who dares to resist Yan's admonition. No matter what the emperor does, he gives his full support and praises. This characteristic of him has been criticized. But now he goes against the emperor. It's really weird. ""It's not weird, mubai." Li daozong said, "the king of Wei is a legitimate son, and the king of Jin is also a suspicious son. He is also the eldest grandson's nephew. The palm and the back of his hand are all flesh. How can he support the king of Jin? Such a question, the emperor will certainly go to ask Chang sun Wuji, and Chang sun Wuji also certainly has its own sufficient convincing reasons. Otherwise, why did the emperor stay in bed and ignore the government? Don't you just want to use a period of time to test whether Chang sun Wuji's choice is correct? "

"It makes sense." Li Ji said, "in fact, it's the emperor's family business to establish the crown prince. Family affairs are one account. The twists and turns are beyond our imagination. According to the emperor's personal wishes, the king of Wei was certainly the most suitable candidate. But what he wants has nothing to do with him. Even if he is an emperor, he has the final say. The so-called blood lineage is just a coat. What really plays a decisive role is to see who stands behind the prince - now, Chang sun Wuji stands firmly behind Li Zhi. Even the emperor has to look straight at him. Because Chang sun Wuji is not only a national uncle, situ, prime minister, but also represents a group and a force, the biggest force on the court today. It's enough to turn the whole history of the Dynasty around! "

"To the point!" Li daozong caressed his hands and praised him, saying, "I'll tell you. Although Mao Gong usually doesn't speak much, he has deep insight. Now that he can tell such a big truth, it's enough to see that you've cut your heart out of me."

"It should be." Li Ji arched his hand and said with a slight smile, "take the same boat together and make concerted efforts."

Qin mubai nodded in praise. Li Ji is right. As the saying goes, it's not like a family doesn't speak the same language. Now, a mysterious link. Li daozong and Li Ji, who represent military forces, have been tied to Qin mubai. The civil service group headed by Chang sun Wuji was firmly held together.

The division of civil and military affairs has been gradually revealed since the East Palace incident. Now in Lanzhou, the division is clear. There are some words that Qin mubai, Li daozong and Li Ji did not make clear. That is, in addition to public interest, everyone has selfishness in such matters.

If you don't do it for yourself, heaven will destroy the earth!

Chang sun Wuji did not want to go to war in Lanzhou, not only because of the consideration of the state court, but also because of the consideration of personal interests. First of all. In the Tang Dynasty, martial arts were highly valued, and it was common for generals to be prime ministers. It's not uncommon for a general with outstanding military achievements to become a prime minister of the imperial court. Li Jing and Li Ji have all done this.

Today, Li Jing retired, Li Ji was outside, and there were few military representatives on the court. Few can compete with Chang sun Wuji. After the fall of the eastern palace and the appearance of the king of Jin, Chang sun Wuji began to eliminate dissidents and cultivate party members. Hou Junji, the leader of the Mesozoic generals in the military world and the Minister of the Ministry of civil affairs, was instantly purged. This is a great effort by Chang sun Wuji to weaken the military's influence in the court.

Under this premise. How could chang sun Wuji allow Lanzhou to go to war, let military power, wealth and military achievements go out, and then set up a strong enemy for himself?

The potential enemy is Qin mubai.

He is as smart as Chang sun Wuji. Of course, he knows that Qin mubai's position will not be the same as him, and he will not be willing to stay behind him. He will stand in Chang sun Wuji's camp as a flag bearer and shout for him. Moreover, the deeper and deeper contradiction and division is that Chang sun Wuji is determined to choose a conservative monarch for Li Shimin. If he can continue the prosperity of Zhenguan Tang Dynasty without any serious trouble, Chang sun Wuji will be able to achieve eternal success. Qin mubai wants to be an ambitious pioneer monarch to carry forward the national power of Tang Dynasty.

The division of positions determines that Qin mubai and Chang sun Wuji are doomed to be in the same camp.

At this time, the power in the hands of the changsun Wuji the first to start. It is his first move to win over Qin Tong and Qin bin, the two eldest sons of the Qin family, and the second step is to freeze Lanzhou and stop the war. In the third step, I don't know how he should lower the flag.

Qin mubai knew very clearly that with his strength and ability today, he was definitely not changsun Wuji's opponent. He needs help and a chance to soar.

Li daozong and Li Ji are his comrades in arms in the same camp. Li daozong was stationed in Youzhou to defend Beidi and Gaogouli. Li Ji was the great wall of Tang Dynasty. Both of them are military heroes who stand alone.

Of course, they hope that Lanzhou can go to war. First, it's because of the soldiers' negative report and ideal. Second, if Lanzhou is frozen, how long will it be before changsun Wuji takes his turn to kill them?

In terms of interests, the three are absolutely unified!

"We can't ignore a character." Li daozong said suddenly.

"Who?"

"Chu suiliang!" Li daozong said, "don't you think this man's sudden obstinacy is very strange? Originally, he was just a living man of the emperor's majesty. But now, with a change of body, he can keep pace with Chang sun Wuji. He is younger than the eldest sun Wuji. Also more introverted. Often, the more such people are, the more talented they are; if they are dangerous, they are more dangerous. "

"Chu suiliang, it's really a mystery." Qin mubai said, "I've worked with him for several times. He's very intelligent and has a deep city. He combines hardness and softness. Compared with Chang sun Wuji, who has a strong desire for power, he is much more introverted and low-key. In the sequence of the Donggong incident, he suddenly appeared. An important turning point is that he sent a message to Chang sun Wuji. So from then on, he stood with Chang sun Wuji. He became one of his right and left arms. But I always feel that Chu suiliang and Chang sun Wuji seem to be in harmony. Chu suiliang's roots were always with the emperor. He was the only one who was allowed to go in and out of the emperor's Hospital freely, so I guess Yang, Chu suiliang at the moment, is actually an incarnation of the emperor in the Imperial Hall! ""That's a good analogy." With a slight smile, Li daozong said, "maybe Chang sun Wuji just regards Chu suiliang as one of his party friends, but in fact, it's Chu suiliang who really decides the big things, I guess, because he is the eye and mouth of the emperor. So. Mubai, if you want to find a turning point in the current crisis, you have to start with Chu suiliang. It would be best to see his majesty. At this time, except for the emperor, no one is able to turn the tide. You, me, MaoGong, even if you add Weigong and pharmacist Li, you can't compete with changsun Wuji in the court. And the more we fight, the worse for us. Because Chang sun Wuji has mastered the right of discourse in the imperial court today, we are opposed to him, that is, to Li Zhi, the prince of the state, or in disguise, to the imperial court and the emperor. "

"That's what the LORD said." Li Ji gently stroked his beard and said to Qin mubai, "mubai, at this time, we must use skillful force. You are the emperor's son-in-law and the emperor's favorite general. I'm sure that changsun Wuji doesn't dare to move you. I can only deal with you by drawing you in, isolating you, alienating you and pushing you out. On the contrary, you can't fight with Chang sun Wuji. Now he wants you to take the initiative to turn against him, and then justly discard you and drive you out of the court. Even people like Hou Junji are knocked down by him, not to mention others? So you are safe and dangerous now. This is not only a turning point in the Tang Dynasty, but also a turning point in your life. Take good care. It is the best policy to make full use of your identity and interpersonal relationship to change the current situation. "

"Well The words of my uncle are in my heart. In fact, I'm not worried about how to do it now. I'm worried about my fiery father. What should he do if he knows that the imperial court has rejected his petition for war? " Qin mubai frowned and said, "I will be outside, but I will not accept your life. If my father resists the order, he will attack Gaochang in the west, no matter whether it is successful or not. They have been given a handle. In this way, my father and son will be quite passive, and will be completely preempted by eldest sun Wuji! "

"What a worry!" Li daozong caressed his hand and said, "I can't say that you can't give up the letter immediately, and send your confidants 800 Li to Lanzhou as soon as possible. Even if some of his men and horses are killed, this letter must be sent to your father as soon as possible! Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to predict! "

"I'll stop writing at once!" Qin mubai got up and asked for the four treasures of his study. At that time, he sent several guards outside the house to Chang'an and ran to Lanzhou.

After doing these things, Qin mubai sighed. Right now. He always felt that he had a pair of eyes staring at him, Li daozong, Li Ji and Chang sun Wuji.

Those eyes belong to Emperor Li Shimin.

Qin mubai feels that now they are like the legendary "poisonous insects". Like poisonous insects and poisons, they are locked up in the earthen jar, biting and fighting with each other. Those who survive will become poisonous insects!

Li Shimin, you don't need too much poison to jump around in front of you. He just wants a Gu to help his son, to stabilize his court, to stabilize his country, to continue his hegemony!

As for who this son is, on the contrary, it's not as important as that Gu
