Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

After a while, Li Shimin's hearty laughter came, and everyone present could hear the joy in the laughter.

"All the tribes of Jieli rebelled and defeated Malushan."

Li Shimin said aloud, with a hint of excitement in his words, the original Weishui alliance is only a year away.

He became a stain that could not be erased. I didn't expect that Xie Li would fall to this point in the blink of an eye.

As Li Shimin's words sounded, the people present couldn't help knowing why Li Shimin was so excited, and swept away the previous haze.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Empress Changsun spoke, and there was also a hint of joy in her words.

"My son, congratulations to my father."

After having Empress Changsun as a demonstration, Gao Ming also said that at the age of ten he already knew a lot of things.

As for Qing Que and Li Zhi, they are still a little confused. I don't know what to congratulate.

"Humph!"

On the contrary, Li Yuan snorted softly, but his complexion seemed a little softer, and he was obviously in a much happier mood.

After all, he hadn't abdicated at the time of the Weishui League, and this Xieli also didn't give him a very good impression.

"My son, take a step first."

Perhaps it was because of a happy meeting, Li Shimin couldn't help saying with a red face, then turned and left.

"Father, Yafu, Wugou bid farewell."

Empress Changsun said with a wry smile on her face, this man is like this, he becomes serious when he encounters serious business, she originally wanted to stay a little longer, so let's forget about it now.

"Hmph, leave early so as not to be an eyesore."

After the figure of Empress Changsun disappeared, Li Yuan couldn't help saying.

Shu An couldn't help shaking his head, it seems that the prejudice will not be eliminated in the short term.

However, he didn't have too many thoughts about the Turks, because he was finally eliminated by Li Shimin.

Of course, Li Shimin's departure is really a good thing for Li Yuan, at least Li Yuan plans to breathe more of this free air.

........

Before sunset, Shu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he finally sent Li Yuan's family back.

Thinking that Li Yuan wanted to make some roast ducks in the kitchen before he left, Shu An couldn't help showing a helpless smile on his face.

"It seems that Li Shimin doesn't dislike Li Yuan as much as he imagined."

Shu An thought silently, but Li Shimin's heart must also be complicated at this stage.

On the one hand, he was afraid that his father would join forces with foreign ministers to take the throne, and on the other hand, he wanted to be recognized by his father, thinking that he was the right heir to the throne.

That's why the current situation was created. It was not until the seventh or eighth year of Zhenguan, when Li Yuan's health failed, that Li Shimin began to feel at ease.

"It seems that I haven't seen my two students for a while, so I might as well go to the academy tomorrow to have a look."

Shu An couldn't help whispering softly, speaking of it, even after Wang Xuance accepted him as his teacher, he was sent to the academy to be with Xue Rengui within a few days.

Because he wanted to see if there would be some chemical reaction between the two. After all, Wang Xuance's civil and military attributes were somewhat indistinguishable.

In an academy near Shufu Farm, Wang Xuance was holding a book and his eyes seemed to be a little distracted, because not far away a young man who was similar to him was dancing a wooden stick.

Each stick brought a sound of air friction, which made Wang Xuance a little uneasy, because he found that he actually liked martial arts a little bit.

This has been going on for several days. Since he came here, he found that he can't read books, but has a little urge to practice martial arts.

"Senior brother Xue, I wonder if your martial arts teacher said anything?"

Finally Wang Xuance couldn't help asking. Although he had a teacher himself, he didn't seem to know anything about the teacher.

It stands to reason that my teacher should be regarded as a member of the literary world, how could he accept a student who aspires to be a military commander? Could it be that this Senior Brother Xue practiced secretly without telling the teacher.

But it didn't look like it, which made him even more curious. After a few days of contact, he understood the character of this senior brother. He was too honest, the kind of hardworking.

Obviously I am a year older than this Senior Xue, but it seems that this Senior Xue looks much calmer than me.

Moreover, Senior Brother Xue's family is poor, he is not as good as himself, even he can't read as many books as him, and he has no advantage over himself.

If the only advantage is to stay with the teacher for several years, can a few years change people so much?

"Teacher?! Didn't say anything?"

Xue Rengui was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this junior would ask this question, but then he spoke up.

"Didn't the teacher stop you?"

Wang Xuance felt a little pain in his head and continued to speak, because there seemed to be some problems with the thoughts in this senior brother's mind.

"No, the teacher also taught me a lot of military art."

Xue Rengui was also a little confused and honestly said that he didn't know what this junior brother wanted to say.

After the words fell, Wang Xuance's eyes lit up, as if he could also learn martial arts, and he probably wouldn't say anything compared to the teacher.

But before that, he still needs to inform the teacher first, if the teacher disagrees, then he will study honestly and enter the official career.

He once walked out of his hometown and wanted to get ahead, but now he has completed half of his words. Because of the existence of his teacher, he has a bright future, so Wang Xuance respects his teacher's opinion very much.

"Brother, I wonder if you can teach me some techniques to strengthen my body?"

Although he hadn't obtained the teacher's consent, Wang Xuance still said aloud, after all, even if he embarks on an official career, having a good body is equally important.

"If junior brother is interested, it is better to find the teacher, because the teacher has created a set of boxing techniques for strengthening the body."

Xue Rengui's voice sounded, and there was a hint of worship in his words, but this sentence made Wang Xuance a little messy.

When did his teacher have something to do with boxing, even he never thought that his teacher created his own set of boxing.

Chapter 54 争论，选择

After the winter solstice, Chang'an is getting colder and colder, but the discussions in the palace are heated instead.

"We took full advantage of this time to dispatch troops to wipe out Xieli in one fell swoop."

"In the early years, the severe drought had just ended the disaster relief, and the treasury was empty, unable to send troops."

"If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to destroy Xieli in the future."

.....

The civil servants and military generals in the Wude Hall insisted on their own opinions and quarreled into a mess, as if no one was humble.

Naturally, civil servants don't want to send troops, after all, they have just settled down now, and it is time for everything to be done.

On the contrary, generals don't have this concern. They only know the shame brought by Jieli's troops coming to the city a year ago. As for the logistics, it is the matter of civil servants.

Even Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, also had some headaches. He was inclined to send troops to the Turks emotionally, taking advantage of Xieli's current weakness to deal a fatal blow.

But Li Shimin knew that Datang was unable to support another war if he was rational.

However, the opportunity is only in a flash, and even Li Shimin would feel a pity if he missed it, especially since it took several days for the news to come and go.

After the court meeting was as fruitless as imagined, Li Shimin left three important ministers, Changsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, Keming, Xuanling, do you think I should send troops?"

Li Shimin looked at the three think tanks in front of him with flickering eyes and said, with a hint of hesitation in his words.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so."

Changsun Wuji spoke first, with a hint of determination in his words.

"My minister agrees!"

Fang Xuanling said slowly, as the order of Zhongshu, he is even more aware of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, and it really cannot stand a war.

As for Du Ruhui at the end, he remained silent for the simple reason that he understood His Majesty's feelings.

But Li Shimin's face revealed a trace of displeasure, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Du Ruhui at the end. If he just gave up the opportunity like this, he would feel unwilling.

"What's Keming's opinion?"

Facing His Majesty's questioning, Du Ruhui couldn't keep silent.

"Keming seconded the proposal, but His Majesty can ask the teacher's opinion."

Du Ruhui's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his words.

"Ya father?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he murmured, as if he hadn't thought that this matter had anything to do with this cheap father-in-law.

"Actually, the teacher is good at general trends, but he is not known to others. Presumably the strategy is not much worse."

Du Ruhui said slowly with light shining in his eyes, he was not just talking nonsense, but had already had examples.

When he was listening to the teacher's lecture, he heard the teacher talk about the possibility of chaos in the future, and the world is full of wars.

At that time, he didn't think it was difficult, after all, the national power of the Sui Dynasty was so strong, but as time passed, he realized that everything that happened seemed to be within his teacher's expectation.

This is a little secret in his heart, and it is also the reason why Du Ruhui still chooses to be a teacher even after many years.

"Maybe the teacher will have some ideas."

Changsun Wuji seemed to think of something and said that when he followed the teacher back then, he would not forget the teacher's nonsense.

What impressed him the most was that Yang Guang's three campaigns against Korea failed, and the teacher had already concluded that he would fail before the results appeared.

As for Fang Xuanling's words, his expression was also puzzled, when did this Duke Anxuan become good at general trends, why hadn't he heard of it.

Afterwards, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji briefly explained their experiences back then, which surprised Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

"When did father-in-law have such a skill?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but murmured, in his impression, this father-in-law was extremely talented, and now he likes food a little more.

As for the strategy or something, he really didn't see it, but no matter what, he seemed to have to go to Shu Mansion again.

Because neither Changsun Wuji nor Du Ruhui are people who talk freely, not to mention that they can't lie on their faces.

Suburbs of Chang'an

Shu An couldn't help showing a hint of satisfaction when he looked at the academy that had been established in an orderly manner.

It's just that what surprised him was that Wang Xuance actually wanted to learn the art of war, although he guessed there was some chemical reaction before.

But this chemical reaction seems to be a bit big, after all, it is said that Wang Xuance is different from Xue Rengui, and he made up his mind early.

On the contrary, he has read the books of sages for ten years. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be determined to be a supreme minister? Why did he start learning the art of war not long after he came to the academy?

"Teacher, after I got in touch with my senior brother, I realized that the only thing my Tang man should do is to fight on the battlefield."

"I don't know how many foreign races are raging on the border. If you don't know it, forget it. But now Xuan Ce believes that we have a responsibility that cannot be slackened."

"Originally, Xuan Ce wanted to obtain fame and fame, but with the existence of a teacher, Xuan Ce would not be far away, so Xuan Ce wanted to try another path."

.......

Seemingly seeing his teacher's doubts, Wang Xuance mustered up the courage and started to say, he thought about this for a long time last night.

Originally, he had to think for a few more days before looking for his teacher, but he didn't expect that his teacher would come to him today, so Wang Xuance couldn't help it anymore.

After finishing speaking, Wang Xuance couldn't help but look at the expressionless teacher, then lowered his head, waiting for the teacher's final decision.

In fact, he asked his senior brother first last night, but the senior brother did not hesitate to comfort him, and the teacher would agree.

But when he actually faced the teacher, Wang Xuance couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Shu An couldn't help showing a smile when he looked at the students with their heads down. It seemed that he was influenced by Xue Rengui, and even Wang Xuance couldn't help being honest.

With his relationship, it is really not difficult to become an official, and even because of his relationship, it is not impossible for Wang Xuance to be a prime minister.

However, now he has given up such a glamorous path and chose another path. You must know that the military commander himself has no influence.

Even if they are influential, at most they start from small pawns, even those honorable children.

Of course, those honorable children will definitely arrange a little bit, and after a few rounds of qualifications, they will gradually rise up, and they will not leave any clues.

And it is undoubtedly more difficult for Wang Xuance to take this path, maybe he might die in the battlefield if he is not careful.

"well said!"

Just at this time, a voice of applause came from behind the two of them.
