In the Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall, under His Majesty's urgent summons, a group of old ministers immediately turned around and headed towards the imperial study before returning home.
If you can find them back in such a hurry, something big must have happened. How can they dare to slack off!
When they arrived at the palace, they heard the news that His Majesty actually issued an edict to promote Luo Zhang to the rank of Marquis of Lantian County and Right Minister of the Ministry of War!
This news shocked a bunch of old officials to their core, and they made their steps even faster.
When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, a group of old ministers finally gathered together. Everyone could see the shock in the eyes of others. Apparently everyone knew about the news that Luo Zhang was promoted to Marquis!
Outside the imperial study room, everyone was waiting for His Majesty's summons.
Changsun Wuji snorted softly and said: "I don't know that your majesty was deceived by Luo Zhang again, and actually promoted him to the rank of marquis. Everyone here is a humerus of the imperial court. They were born and died for the Tang Dynasty, and they were only the Duke of the country until the age of seventy. This Luo Zhang is eighteen years old, so what qualifications do he have to be named a marquis! This is simply nonsense!"
The most jealous person here is probably Changsun Wuji. He has to be jealous. He just received the news from Changsun Chong. He feels that his son is not bad and has the potential to make great achievements and even be better than Luo Zhang. But in the blink of an eye, Luo Zhang Zhang was promoted to marquis and became the right minister of the Ministry of War, but he didn't know where he left his son.
Changsun Wuji is not worried about the title. At worst, Changsun Chong will inherit his title of Duke, but this official position is not so easy to be promoted.
Especially after reaching the fifth level, it is not that simple to raise half a level, not to mention that Luo Zhang has been directly promoted to the fourth level, which is one level higher than Changsun Chong, and his military rank is also higher than Changsun Chong. Half a level, from every aspect, Luo Zhang suppressed his son to death. It was difficult to stand up! Disaster! Disaster!
Therefore, Changsun Wuji's first reaction after receiving the news was to prevent His Majesty from being promoted to the official position of Luo Zhang. Of course, he alone was not enough, so he naturally wanted to recruit a few people to join him in writing to prevent His Majesty.
It's just that his words didn't get a response from anyone. The people here are not his subordinates, they are all Chaozhong Humerus, and none of them have come out of the mountain of swords and the sea of fire.
Although I also think His Majesty is kidding by doing this, he will not express his position on the surface.
When these old guys think about it, Your Majesty is not that kind of confused person. He must have a deep meaning in doing this. Maybe Luo Zhang has really done something earth-shattering and worthy of His Majesty's designation?
You know, Luo Zhang has indeed done a lot of earth-shaking things. Not to mention other things, military has a sled, literature has potatoes, just these two things, if they are placed in other people, I am afraid that he will be promoted to a higher rank, and it is not Seeing that Luo Zhang was young, he kept suppressing him.
Therefore, they were not surprised that His Majesty was promoted to Luozhang.
Everyone knew why Changsun Wuji was so provocative, and no one was a fool.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Changsun Wuji secretly cursed these old foxes for being the masters who never see rabbits but never let go of hawks!
Although I feel unhappy, I also know that it is useless to say anything. These old foxes will not be tempted without benefits.
At this moment, Eunuch Huang came to the side room where the ministers were waiting to rest. He cupped his hands at the big shots and said, "My lords, Your Majesty has called you in!"
A group of people had been curious for a long time. When they heard that His Majesty called them, they all stood up and walked towards the imperial study room, wanting to see what important matter His Majesty had, but he actually summoned them all!
After everyone entered the imperial study and saw His Majesty, they then looked at His Majesty.
I saw His Majesty looking at a memorial on the table and smiling happily!
Seeing His Majesty like this, everyone felt relieved. It was obviously not a bad thing, it should be a good thing!
"Your Majesty, I wonder what you mean by summoning us?" Du Ruhui asked when he went out to work. He was a straight man and would say whatever he thought. Li Shimin often asked him about strategies to stabilize the country, because Du Ruhui would not hide his secrets from him and would tell him the truth. , even if it is not a good thing, he will tell the truth truthfully, which Li Shimin appreciates very much.
Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin came back to his senses, handed the memorial in his hand to Eunuch Huang aside and said: "Let's show it to them, and we'll talk about it after reading it!"
Du Ruhui stood first, took the memorial from Eunuch Huang, glanced at the cover, and raised his eyebrows, "800 miles, hurry up!"
What happened? You need to rush eight hundred miles?
Without daring to delay, Du Ruhui hurriedly opened the memorial and looked at it.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui couldn't help but take a breath and his eyes widened. This... this is simply pie in the sky, God bless the Tang Dynasty!
That something like this happened in the north was simply a God-given opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Turks were not destroyed, they would be sorry for themselves!
Everyone was surprised when they saw Du Ruhui's expression. Here were all veterans of the court. They had never seen any big storms. There were not many things that could shock them.
But once they are all shocked, it will definitely be a big deal!
Du Ruhui said nothing after reading the memorial. Instead, he handed the memorial to Fang Xuanling at the side, and he himself lowered his head and pondered.
Fang Xuanling took the memorial and read it carefully. When he saw the beginning, his expression was similar to that of Du Ruhui, both of them were shocked. After reading it, he also handed the memorial to the person next to him. Join the brooding army!
Everyone who read this memorial had similar expressions. They were shocked at first, and then pondered.
After everyone had finished reading, the memorial was returned to Li Shimin's hands again. The room was silent. No one spoke, even Changsun Wuji fell silent.
"After reading it all, tell me what you think!" Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said.
The first person to leave the shift fell on Qi Du Ruhui without any surprise.
"Your Majesty, with such a good opportunity, our army should take action, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting." Du Ruhui bowed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must seize such a good opportunity!" Fang Xuanling said immediately!
The person in this room who was happiest after seeing the memorial was Li Jing. The army had been preparing, but he couldn't decide when to set off. Everything had to be arranged by His Majesty, and he could only wait.
If the time is not yet ripe, it is normal for the army not to be dispatched.
But now there is such a large-scale war in the north, which is tantamount to creating a god-given opportunity for them!
He would feel sorry for himself if he didn't seize this opportunity!
It's just that he thinks so in his heart. In the end, it all depends on everyone's opinion. This cannot be decided by one person!
Even Changsun Wuji was a little excited. If there was a war in the north, then his Chong'er would have meritorious service.
What gets promoted fastest? Naturally, it's a war. In a war, official positions are promoted the fastest. As long as you have enough military exploits and your contribution is great enough, it is normal for you to be promoted to three levels!
With his operation, as long as Chong'er works harder, Chong'er won't have to worry about being promoted to a higher position!
As for Luo Zhang, how could he compare with his Chong'er!
Everyone spoke up to express their opinions. No one spoke against Du Ruhui's words, and they all agreed.
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "Don't you wonder why the Turks suddenly used troops against Xue Yantuo? Why did the Tubo people stab Xue Yantuo at this time?"
Li Shimin's words made everyone slightly stunned and surprised.
Yes, why did the Turks attack Xue Yantuo?
How could Tubo send troops in the first place?
Is there something they don't know about?
The first person to react was Fang Xuanling. When it came to strategy, Fang Xuanling was the number one. Fang Xuanling was not just a talker.
However, Fang Xuanling only made a guess in his mind and was not sure, because even he couldn't believe the reason for his guess!
Fang Xuanling hesitated, let alone the others. They all looked at each other, wondering what His Majesty meant!
"You must have heard that before you came, I decreed Luo Zhang to be the Marquis of Lantian County and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War? Do you think I am too hasty and it is unbelievable to promote Luo Zhang to the title of Marquis?" Li Shimin continued.
"Your Majesty, you mean that Luo Zhang did all of this? But... is this possible?" Du Ruhui asked in surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how could Luo Zhang do such a thing? Besides, what can Luo Zhang do when the two countries are at war? Could it be that he deceived Your Majesty? Your Majesty must see some villains clearly. Don't be deceived by villains!" Changsun Wuji added insult to injury.
