Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 172 Civil and Military Conspiracy
noon.

The sun was shining brightly, and a car and horse in Changsun's mansion stepped on the bluestone floor, kicked up dust, and sped along Chang'an Avenue, heading straight for Shen Guogong's mansion.

Shen Guogong's mansion far away on the other side was full of noise.

The towering ancient tree propped up a thin yellow leaf, casting shade under the tree.

A few tables and chairs waited for a long time, tea and snacks, amidst the fragrance, a big hand stretched out to take away a bayberry.

"Damn it, who doesn't want to take meritorious deeds! This kid from the Li family really got a big deal!"

Yu Chigong's voice was always rough and wild, so startled that the servant girl who was pouring tea shook her plain hand and splashed a little water.

He hastily took out the square towel from his pocket and was wiping it, when he saw the Patriarch Gao Shilian waving his arms, he hurriedly retreated.

"Yu Chigong, even though that's the case, the Li family's greatest contribution in this battle is the one."

"What's the point of having one more Li Xian?"

Duan Zhixuan on one side frowned and took over the conversation.

"Actually, it is reasonable for anyone to join the army, but Li Xian seems to be a bit too deliberate."

As a courtier, it is a big taboo to criticize the Holy One, Duan Zhixuan also knows this truth, and just made a few points.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang snorted coldly and patted the armrest of the fruit plate seat.

"There are quite a few complaints about this person inside and outside the court, and a coal stove has caused a surge of resistance in the city."

"In my opinion, it was just that this person caught a dead mouse blindly before, but in terms of his true nature, he is just like an ordinary person."

Taking a sip of hot tea suddenly, Zhang Liang's manic mind didn't seem to be too calm, he pointed horizontally for a week, and spoke righteously.

"I've heard of someone who can babble and sing at birth, but I haven't heard of someone who can command tens of thousands of soldiers and lead soldiers to fight!"

"This is completely relying on my father to gain military merit for nothing."

Biting a sour jujube in his mouth hard, the bite was crunchy and fragrant, and Zhang Liang couldn't let go of his anger.

"Although it's a false job, you have to have real talents and real learning to hold your ground. This kid is a vegetarian, and he has completely broken the rules!"

"We have a lot of talented people in the Great Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court is not a place to raise idlers for nothing!"

When the voice fell, Yu Chigong pointed his big finger over.

"well said!"

"If Li Xian is hanging on to his previous idle job, the old man will have nothing to say."

"Even if the old man has a good relationship with Li Jing, but this official business can't be done without friendship."

Turning his bearded face away, Yu Chi Gong glanced at Gao Shilian who was holding a teacup thoughtfully.

"Shen Guogong, you want to make the decision for us!"

"It's not that we old bones are greedy for this military merit, but that kid Li Xian really doesn't deserve to enter the military camp for the first time, so he got such a high merit!"

Following Yu Chigong's shout, everyone's eyes turned to Gao Shilian who was in the main seat.

With the lessons learned from previous admonitions, Gao Shilian is also a little confused at the moment, not knowing how to persuade His Majesty.

To say that Li Xian is favored, he is no worse than these old ministers!
After pondering for a moment, he put down his cup and raised his head slightly to glance at everyone.

"The old man also has some complaints about this matter, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the servant leading his eldest grandson Wuji rushing over in the corridor.

"Duke Shen, something important..."

After a shout, Changsun Wuji was slightly taken aback when he saw that all the generals were present, and swallowed the words forcefully.

Strutting through the corridor, he bowed to the standing generals and greeted them.

Then a servant brought a seat, and Changsun Wuji sat down happily, with a warm smile on his face.

"What's the wind today? You actually gathered here to drink and talk."

He said so, but Changsun Wuji was thinking about how to get out, and he would discuss it after Gao Shilian finished his work.

"Hi! What else can it be!"

Yuchi Gong was the master who couldn't hold back the matter, so he spoke out when he took the rebuttal.

"A doll who has never pinched the handle of a knife wants to direct the battle. How can we veterans be at ease about this matter."

Looking at Yu Chigong with a stern face, Changsun Wuji temporarily changed his mind, followed the words and said with a smile.

"It turns out that you all came here for this matter. Speaking of it, you are on the same road."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals gathered their eyes together, and Duan Zhixuan made a curious sound.

"Your eldest grandson also has this idea?"

Waving his arms, Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh, changing his previous expression to a serious one.

"The old man also heard the news about the military camp, so he came all the way just now, and wanted to discuss something with Shen Guogong."

News from the barracks?
Gao Shilian frowned, pressed his palms to signal Changsun Wuji but said it's okay.

"Ah~ It's a bit inexplicable to say."

"General Li Ji came to report earlier that the new barracks reformed the method of training soldiers and produced some strange equipment. The military expenditure is no longer for adding weapons, armor and clothing, but for soldiers to eat and drink. Even the content of the teaching It has also been changed to pharmacopoeia practice, which is really puzzling."

hiss~
A sound of breathing spread throughout the courtyard.

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering and uncertain.

Gao Shilian couldn't believe it, he pulled Changsun Wuji's lapel and said in a deep voice.

"Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

When Duan Zhixuan heard the affirmative voice, he hummed.

"This Li residence is really strange!"

"One makes some inexplicable things, and the other is doing weird things in the barracks!"

"Isn't this a miasma that will stir up the entire military camp? How can we talk about the morale of the army? How to lead the troops?"

Even Yu Chigong, who had always been on good terms with Li Jing, had no reason to protect Li Jing at this moment, and gradually frowned.

"Duke Wei has always been serious and cautious, and he has never been in such a situation in training soldiers. This..."

"Could it be a new method of training soldiers?"

Gao Shilian leaned back in the chair slowly, with light and shadow flickering in the bottom of his deep eyes, he stroked his beard under his jaw, and opened his mouth slowly.

"The Duke of Wei is not as old as the old man, so it would be far-fetched to say that he was foolish!"

"The new method of training soldiers will not be so outrageous!"

"According to the old man, most of them listened to Li Xian's nonsense, so they experimented a little bit at this time."

Hearing this, the generals seemed to suddenly realize.

Li Xian has always been known as an eccentric spirit, even making those useless things like coal stoves is beyond the scope of people's thinking!
It is quite possible to say that this new method of military training was created by Li Xian.

In fact, Zhang Su Wuji also had such a conjecture before, and now that it was confirmed, he couldn't help feeling a sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Alas~ After all, this Li Xian is too whimsical!"

"I don't know why Li Jing's generation of military gods fell into his evil! Shen Guogong, the name of the military god deters the barracks, and the soldiers have always been fascinated by it."

"After such ridiculous training, Li Jing's reputation will be greatly reduced!"

Gao Shilian stood up abruptly, his tiger eyes were shining brightly, he swept across the ministers, and made a clang.

"Not bad!"

"The morale of the army is not stable, but it is a big hidden danger!"

"Furthermore, Li Xian must never stay in this post of joining the army again!"

"If you think wildly during the war, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After pondering for a moment, he strode up to Changsun Wuji's side, Gao Shilian said while his gray beard was shaking.

"My lord, Li Xian's reputation is in full swing this time, and ordinary words will definitely not be able to reach His Majesty's ears."

"Let's unite civil and military forces, and discuss this matter with His Majesty in private! Only in this way can the overall situation be preserved."

Seeing that Gao Shilian said what was in his heart, Changsun Wuji said goodbye without delay.

"Shen Guogong's heartfelt words are very close to my heart, so I leave!"
