Take the mall to Datang

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"It's very simple. If you want to do something in your position, whoever should do it must be done by someone else. Otherwise, there is no point in discussing it." Yuan Shan said.

"It's a bit noisy. It seems that you have a better solution. Why don't you just speak up and listen." Li Shimin said.

Everyone's old faces turned black, Yuan Shan had offended all civil and military officials this time, and he didn't know it.

At this time, Yuan Shan's face remained normal, and he began to say: "It's actually very simple. Aren't the opinions not unified now? There should be a decision based on a big principle. For example, war, whether it is an invasion or bullying my Tang people, must be counterattacked." Yes, to safeguard the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the integrity of the territory, and the dignity of the Tang people, the discussion should not be about whether to argue, but how to do it. Whoever opposes this kind of major principle is betraying the interests of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty's interests , the interests of the imperial court, the interests of the common people, whoever violates our territory and hurts us will be punished no matter how far away!"

"Those who offend our country and hurt me will be punished even if they are far away!" The generals began to roar, and their morale was greatly boosted.

A group of literati looked at each other at a loss. What Yuan Shan had just said was good, but now they jumped out to argue that they might be beaten to death by a group of military officers.

And it seems that His Majesty still agrees.

"Your Majesty still has a specialization in the art of speech. Do you still need to argue about whether to fight or not? If you want to fight, you can hand it over to the Ministry of War. If you don't fight, you can't let those who harm the interests of the Tang people. You can negotiate with Emperor Fusang. Complaints are the so-called courtesy before soldiers, in short, we can't let us suffer, isn't it the solution." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin didn't expect that he would be able to say such a thing. Thinking about it really thoroughly, and thinking about what a group of civil servants were discussing, it felt like he was talking to Fusang. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at the crowd, then turned back and said to Yuan Shan, "It seems that you have a lot of opinions on the court's discussion. Is there any specific way to avoid such a noisy incident like today?"

Yuan Shanxin said that I can do anything, are you willing to let you delegate power, but seeing Li Shimin's appearance, I am looking forward to it, if I can't tell why, I'm afraid it's really hard to explain, everyone in this room is like this today, he still has What can't be said, said: "I think that it is enough for this kind of matter to involve the chief officials of the six ministries and the necessary officials of the DPRK."

When Li Shimin thought about it, it was really true. Wouldn't it be easier to change directly from a meeting of dozens of people to a meeting of more than a dozen people? Besides, the six ministers belonged to him, so if he took such a resolution, I'm afraid he would need to delegate power from below. Otherwise, even Shangshu would be constrained by his subordinates, and the most fatal moment is the critical moment.

"This idea is indeed good. The Fusang incident has violated the interests of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be ignored. I have decided to teach them some lessons. The Minister of the Ministry of War, Hou Junji, will give a plan for dispatching troops within three days. From now on, you must start to fight for this war. Get ready." Yuan Shan's voice fell, and the ministers finally stopped, and finally chose to fight.

A kind of military officer was very happy, Cheng Zhijie kept giving Yuan Shan the thumbs up, winking from time to time, not knowing what he meant.

After the court was over, Su Dingfang followed Yuan Shan, with a flustered expression on his face, and said softly: "Mr. Lan, my heart trembles when you say this today. It seems that my Zhonglang will take care of many people." .”

Su Dingfang didn't have the nerve to say that it was all caused by Yuan Shan. At this time, the two obviously became friends. A smart person would never draw a line with Yuan Shan at this time to curry favor with the civil servants.

"General Su doesn't seem worried, let's talk about serious things, don't you want to participate in the battle of Fusang? Given the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to win Fusang. Now all the generals can Eyeing this opportunity." Yuan Shan said.

Hearing this topic, Su Dingfang became serious. Of course he wanted to join the war, but how could a person with no background participate in such fierce competition.

Yuan Shan sighed: "Sometimes things always go against your wishes, and if you want to go, you may not have too many opportunities to express yourself."

"Lan Guogong is grateful for the way to let someone go to Fusang." Su Dingfang said.

Yuan Shan nodded and said: "Of course, the personnel from the Ministry of Economic Development will accompany the ship, but there is a lack of an escort. I don't know if General Su will give in."

"A certain person should do his best." Su Dingfang said.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. You can follow my student Xue Rengui and lead the local soldiers to join the battle. But we must talk about it first, and you must not act arbitrarily in front of the big strategic policy." Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 857

Su Dingfang's current situation is like this. His grandma doesn't love his uncle, so it's a blessing to be able to be used. There are not a few people like him. He is a person of the same generation as Li Jing and Li Ji. If it weren't for historical reasons, he would be able to become a Is that so?

They are all great generals, it was really bad luck for him to be a general because he was born with such an adventurous assault.

Yuan Shan didn't know what he was thinking, but this person's abilities were no worse than Li Jing and Li Ji's. He was even a very powerful figure in the Southern Expeditions and Northern Wars. He thought that Xue Rengui could learn from him. Chance.

As for Yuchi Baolin and others, they are actually trained warriors. If the two sides confront each other in a life-and-death battle, there is a high chance of surviving Yuchi and others, but strategically speaking, Su Dingfang and Li Jing are the champions.

Of course, Su Dingfang is also a person with high martial arts skills, but he has not socialized for too long to be so abrupt today.

"General Su, come with me. There's a new hot pot restaurant in the south corner of the city. I'll ask some of you to go and taste it together." Yuan Shan said.

Without giving Su Dingfang a chance to speak, the aura overwhelmed them, and the two had no choice but to leave together. Afterwards, Yuanshan went directly to the hotpot restaurant in a carriage, accompanied only by Xue Rengui, and asked someone to call Yuchi Baolin.

The four of them got together, and Yuan Shancai realized that the uncle Su Dingfang looked a little extra eye-catching, with a black charcoal head, he couldn't help but be noticed.

"General Su, please, Baolin does it first as a respect." When Yuchi Baolin saw the wine, he liked it very much like his father, but he was very restrained.

Su Dingfang is a Zhonglang general with a nice name, but the real power is not as big as Yuchi Baolin. The three of them are all generals. It's his elder brother, General Su, who is old and strong, and who can be favored by his teacher?

The four of them were extremely enthusiastic, and they ate ten catties of meat for a hot pot meal.

Just because Yuan Shan drank too much, he said: "Is it still possible to eat when old and strong?"

Su Dingfang put in the effort, won the championship, not only ate the most, but also drank too much.

Yuchi Baolin and Xue Rengui really met their opponents.

In the later period, Su Ding conveniently began to talk to Yuchi Baolin about the attack on the Eastern Turkic Yazhang. It was very dangerous at that time. Even after drinking so much wine, he still couldn't get a single word of news from Yuchi Baolin.

In the evening, everyone except Yuan Shan was carried back, and Li Shimin knew about Yuan Shan drinking with Su Dingfang that night.

The next day, Yuan Shan entered the palace with 500 million coins.

Li Shimin was very happy to see Qian, although it was only 500 million Guan.

"Your Majesty, the minister brought the general fee." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, this time you have made meritorious service. With this money, it is enough to win the entire Fusang, but I don't know if the defense of Kyushu Island can wait for three months." Li Shimin worried.

"I think if you can mobilize supplies nearby, organize a fleet to land on the island as soon as possible, and never give them any chance to breathe when dealing with the enemy. Although the military expenses are available, please fulfill your promise. Fusang must be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise The Ministry of Economic Development cannot afford to pay back these military expenses," Yuan Shan said.

It was like pouring cold water on Li Shimin, thinking that the money was all borrowed and conditional. Now that I think about it, maybe the treasury can pay the money, but it's a waste of words to face all the courtiers.

Where military expenditures can be used at will like this, it is completely an independent expenditure. He, the emperor, seems to be able to do whatever he wants without restraint.

Hou Junji arrived soon and distributed money to prepare for the war. He was very active, and he was a matter of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, the subject is here." Hou Junji came in and said immediately.

"Hou Junji, the 500 million military expenditure has already arrived, speed up the preparation of supplies, and how long it takes to win Fusang depends on you." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, I have taken orders. I have one more request today." Hou Junji said.

"Let's talk about something." Li Shimin said.

"I want to ask for orders to lead troops to pacify Fusang, please allow your majesty." Hou Junji said.

"If Hou Shangshu leads the troops himself, who will handle the affairs of the Ministry of War? Let's discuss this matter later. If there are good generals who recommend some steps, I really want to see young generals lead the troops out." Li Shimin said.

"Yuanshan is the same, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Li Shimin said.

For a young general, Yuan Shan knows that his apprentices are all young, but what does it mean now, it is up to you to decide whether to move the Beiya Imperial Army, and I have no one to recommend it.

"Your Majesty, the young generals really don't know much, but Lu Guogong seems to want to go to Fusang, and I think Lu Guogong is the vanguard." Yuan Shan said, don't worry about success, it's right to sell face to Cheng Zhijie.

"Then Shacai, you still recommend him, let me think about it." Li Shimin said.

There are many talents who can fight, but you don't need it yourself, let you pretend, think about it, and then said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the guards could be used for this battle, it seems that they haven't conducted actual combat for a long time. The combat power of the soldiers is very strong, I don’t know if it’s just a legend or it’s true.”
