The night was deep and silent.
Chang'an, the ancient and grand capital, is like a tired giant falling into a deep sleep in the night. It is also like the towering Cangshan Mountain. Before the coming of a storm, it seems surprisingly quiet.
Recently, the atmosphere in Chang'an is quite unusual. All the reasons are due to a man who is not reasonable and has many things to say at the banquet.
This man, who had just come to Chang'an from the state of xianjianguo, was a former Khan from Beiting, West Turk.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of Prince of kindness and enjoyed the treatment superior to that of the state, which made him a little overjoyed. So he had a few more drinks at the state banquet hosted by Li Shimin. Because he was not familiar with the Chinese principle method, and he failed to speak after drinking, he took Li Tai, the king of Wei, as the "Prince" in public, and offered his love to him wantonly, in order to achieve the glory and peace for the rest of his life.
But the problem is that the king of Wei is only the king of Wei. Not the prince!
So on the spot, many people's faces changed, and Li Tai, king of Wei, was even more frightened. He had to kneel down on the spot to beg Yugu not to flatter him.
One of the most acute problems in the Tang Dynasty was finally pierced by an outsider. Therefore, some ministers took advantage of the situation to make suggestions to Li Shimin. They borrowed ancient and modern words, quoted many quotations, talked at length, and never took the trouble to say a lot. In fact, there was only one meaning - Datang. It's time to set up a prince!
The implication of all the ministers is: the emperor, you are not clear about the prince, are you not embarrassing us ministers? ——You're not in a hurry, but we are! Now that the war is over, it's time to take care of the internal affairs of the imperial court. Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu and Korean dynasties are facing the big problem of "standing in the wrong team" to choose between life and death. No one wants to stand in the wrong team now and be cleaned in the future!
Li Shimin also knows that paper can't hold fire after all. Contradictions and problems can not be blindly covered up. It is time to solve the biggest hidden danger and crisis since Zhenguan Dynasty!
"Within a year."
Li Shimin, "the Korean people are not honest again?" Li Shimin snorted a little angrily, "they must have no time to look to the east when they see that the four sides of the Tang Dynasty's military front has lengthened in recent years, so he can take the opportunity to annex the unified peninsula of Silla. As a matter of fact, a few years ago, I had thought about the imperial expedition to wipe out Korea and eliminate future troubles for future generations. But there are always things like this or that. It's been delayed. Now Li Ji has wiped out Xue yantuo, swept the northern desert, and Qin mubai has conquered Tubo and leveled the western regions. He has just released his hand to clean up Koguryo! "
"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling's desire to speak and stop, and his face is in a state of embarrassment.
Li Shimin laughed and said, "I know what you want to say. You can relax. In three years, I will not let the Tang Dynasty have another war. The northern expedition, the Pingfan and the western expedition made the national treasury empty and the people suffered. If we don't stop practicing martial arts, the family of the Tang Dynasty will be emptied, and the world will be in trouble. If so, even if there are ten thousand li territory. It's also very weak. "
"Your Majesty is wise!" Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh and said, "at that time, Han Wu chased Xiongnu from the north to the west, and the military power of the Han Dynasty was booming. But because of Dou Wu, a poor soldier all the year round, the national strength was empty, and the people suffered a lot. Later, it also led to a great disaster.... "
Li Shimin brightened his eyes and said with a smile, "Xuanling. Do you have something to say to me? "
"My Lord, no..."
"Ha ha!" Li Shimin laughed. "What you just said about" bringing about great calamities "does not mean" the calamity of witchcraft and witchcraft "in Hanwu's later years
Fang Xuanling's face changed slightly, and he quickly arched his hand and said, "I don't mean that!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said with an easygoing smile: "the curse of witchcraft in the last years of Hanwu led to the death and suffering of the empress, the prince and countless ministers. You're right to learn from the past and satirize the present. The East Palace is the future and foundation of the country. If the East Palace is not solid and the people's heart is unstable, it will lead to great disaster for the country. I know it's time to choose a prince for Datang. "
Fang Xuanling didn't dare to talk.
"What is the king of Wei doing recently? I don't see him coming to court Li Shimin asked suddenly.
"I don't know. Recently, Wei Chen did not see the king of Wei in Hongwen hall. " Fang Xuanling replied truthfully. "Maybe Are you sick? Otherwise, the king of Wei would not come to the court. "
Li Shimin gave a cool smile, "he gave birth to the disease of Donggong."
Fang Xuanling wry smile, "since your majesty knows, why let many people suffer from the disease of the east palace?"
Li Shimin also laughed bitterly. "I don't have this disease? This strange disease has plagued the Tang Dynasty for several years, and it has not been cured. "
"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon. It's one thing to treat a disease well or not, but another thing to treat it or not. In any case, there is always hope. If you die... " Fang Xuanling stopped.
"That's the point." Li Shimin nodded deeply, "now, I want to treat this disease. But this disease has lasted for a long time and is not easy to cure! It's going to take a few doses of medicine; when it comes to last resort, it's even going to Cut the flesh and mend the sores
Fang Xuanling's heart suddenly flicked, and the color of horror flashed in her eyes. He asked carefully, "Your Majesty's strong medicine means..."Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and his face became sad and helpless. He sighed and said, "I always hope that I can cure this disease through recuperation and pacification, but I didn't expect that it is getting worse and worse, and it has reached the point of death. If this disease is not cured, the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos. All the efforts we have made before and all the things we have now will come to nothing I have to dig the meat here to make up for the illness of the Tang Dynasty
Then Li Shimin pointed to his chest.
Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly stagnated, and his hands and feet felt a chill.
At this moment, a terrible idea came to Fang Xuanling's mind that his Majesty was going to dig his heart This should mean, the king of Wei, the king of Wu. The king of Jin, at least two of them will suffer great harm!
"What a Gouge out the flesh to mend the sores Fang Xuanling sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, I am also a father. To make such a decision... "
Li Shimin waved his hand to Fang Xuanling to stop talking. He shook his head with a bitter smile. "Do I have another choice?"
