"Shuyu, you said before that you had a way to solve the problem of soldiers and horses?"
After a while, Li Shimin asked with a solemn expression.
He has a strong strategic vision.
It's just that in the past, they focused on the Tang Dynasty and did not invest in foreign countries.
Hearing what Wei Shuyu said at this time, there was indeed a strong sense of crisis.
but……
One breath, two breaths... five breaths passed, and Wei Shuyu didn't speak for a long time.
Li Shimin's anger surged up again.
Snapped.
Li Shimin slapped the dragon case with his palm again: "Wei Shuyu, I'm asking you a question!"
"Didn't Your Majesty tell me to shut up?"
Wei Shuyu curled his lips and replied: "Thirty punishments with the stick are too much..."
Well……
Li Shimin's face froze.
You bastard, how dare you scorn me in the court?
Believe it or not, I dragged you down and chopped you down?
No, you can't be angry...
Xiao Wei still has some money in his stomach.
I will bear with you for now.
He winked at Wei Zheng...
"Shu Yu, this important place in the court will not allow you to be willful!" Wei Zheng scolded with a straight face.
"oh."
Wei Shuyu then stepped out of the queue and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Um?
So refreshing?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at Old Wei, then at Xiao Wei...
It’s like I’ve discovered a new avenue!
I control Old Wei, and Old Wei controls Xiao Wei.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Shimin's anger suddenly dropped: "Let's talk about it first..."
Wei Shuyu looked at the wat board, pondered for a moment and said...
“The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins.”
"Your Majesty, Gaochang State bullied Yanqi, and I thought we could use Yanqi to deal with Gaochang!"
"If Yanqi can't defeat him, we will sell him weapons and supplies."
"When both sides have consumed almost everything..."
"The Tang Dynasty intervened forcefully, and used the previous excuse to destroy Gaochang in one fell swoop and establish the Tang Protectorate!"
"By then...the Silk Road will be unobstructed!"
"And the existence of the Protectorate can monitor the movements of the countries in the Western Region."
"The Tang Dynasty can also continue to expand its territory..."
"Building a true Wan Guo Lai North Korea..."
Li Shimin was not tempted by Wei Shuyu's words, but began to analyze the pros and cons.
Although there is internal fighting in Jiangnan.
But the Western Region is on the other side, and the two have little influence.
It’s the issue of troops, supplies, etc…
"Where is the Minister of Rites?"
Li Shimin suddenly spoke up.
"I'm here."
Doulu Kuan came out.
"How many people and troops do Yanqi and Gaochang have?" Li Shimin asked.
"This this……"
Doulu Kuan broke into a cold sweat.
He had never paid attention to these two small countries.
"explain!"
Li Shimin shouted sharply, staring closely at Doulu Kuan.
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
Doulu Kuan quickly admitted his mistake: "We need to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to check this."
"Go quickly!"
Li Shimin looked unhappy.
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for diplomacy, so it would be good to know, if there is no record.
The Tang Dynasty really knew nothing about the countries in the Western Regions.
"promise."
Doulu Kuan wiped his cold sweat and left quickly.
"What do you think of Wei Shuyu's proposal?" Li Shimin asked.
Naturally, the ministers will not object.
Wei Shuyu analyzed the pros and cons.
Opening up the Silk Road and establishing the Protectorate is a sure thing...
"Your Majesty, I think that entering the Western Regions will happen sooner or later. Since we have to go sooner or later, why not go now." Cheng Yaojin agreed.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that Gaochang must be fought.
"Gaochang blocked the main route of the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty. If it is controlled by others, it will not be conducive to the development of the people."
"Your Majesty, I agree. When the countries in the Western Regions paid tribute last year, they became more and more outrageous. They relied on their status as foreigners and were arrogant in the streets of Chang'an."
"I think it is necessary to give them a little shock!"
The courtiers rushed out one by one.
That look of indignation really stunned Wei Shuyu.
So you agree so much, why didn't you spray with me before?
As expected, you need to be thick-skinned to hang out in court.
At least it will be left in the history books that Wei Shuyu led the attack on Gaochang, and so-and-so supported it.
This is Bai Jian's reputation.
aside.
The pen of the historian is almost smoking.
The final twist of the pen...
Fang Qiao, Cheng Yaojin, Wang Gui and other officials agreed.
Putting down his pen, the historian quietly watched the officials show off.
Anyway, I finished recording...
Officials = you, you = officials!
"In that case..."
Li Shimin glanced at him: "Who do you think is appropriate to send to Yanqi?"
As soon as these words came out, Tai Chi Hall fell silent.
All of them shrank their necks and didn't answer.
Whoever wants to go will go.
It's a long way to go to Yanqi. I heard it's still near a desert.
In August, the temperature there is much higher than that in Chang'an.
"His Majesty."
At this moment, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "I recommend Chu Suiliang."
"He is smart and eloquent."
"I believe I can handle this important task!"
Li Shimin frowned.
Chu Suiliang was dismissed from his official position again because of Li Daliang's incident.
Li Shimin was angry, the general group was angry, the Li family in Longxi was angry, and Fang Xuanling was angry.
All the big guys are unhappy...
You, a little Karami, still want to hang out in court?
"What do all the beloved ladies think?" Li Shimin asked.
"I second the proposal."
The ministers unanimously approved.
The attack on Gaochang was proposed by Wei Shuyu, so Wei Zheng had no problem recommending someone.
If other people stand up and recommend, they are taking credit.
"In that case, Chu Suiliang will be sent as envoy to Yanqi." Li Shimin agreed.
"His Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling suddenly stood up: "If the Tang Dynasty plans to reopen the Silk Road in the future."
"I propose that we vigorously promote the manufacture of silk, porcelain, etc.!"
Li Shimin nodded.
It's really time to increase production.
No special tribute can be sent out.
"allow!"
Li Shimin agreed: "This matter is the responsibility of Shangshu Province."
After discussing the details for a while, the ministers flexed their muscles again.
I thought I could finally go to court now.
Who knows, Wei Shuyu stood up again...
"His Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu bowed and said, "I still have something to report."
The ministers were so angry that they cursed in their hearts.
They don’t allow people to rest, and they don’t allow people to eat.
You have something that can't be discussed at the next court meeting?
"explain."
Li Shimin was in a good mood.
Xiao Wei's proposal solved another big trouble.
"I just heard that the court was discussing the matter of Qiu Wei."
Wei Shuyu took a deep breath and bowed solemnly: "As the person in charge of mercantile business, I want to seek benefits for businessmen!"
Um?
As soon as these words came out.
Many ministers felt a chill.
The noble official looked at Wei Shuyu with cold eyes.
Autumn.
That is, the provincial examination of the imperial examination.
Taking place in August this year…
The nobles saw through Wei Shuyu's purpose at once!
Because in Datang...
Businessmen are lowly and cannot participate in the imperial examination!
Even if he is the child of a businessman...
Also avoid it!
If Wei Shuyu wants to recruit businessmen into official positions, he is tampering with their cake!
"Qiu Wei starts in a few days, and we will discuss this later."
Li Shimin rejected the proposal.
In fact, he was protecting Wei Shuyu.
The nobles are not as easy to talk to as he is...
Li Shimin still needs a legitimate reason to kill someone!
And the nobles kill people...
Use everything, both light and dark.
