Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 203 You Are Cowardly!

To be honest, Li Shimin's heart is actually very empty at the moment, after all, this strategy was conceived by Li Fu, and he was just a ghostwriter.

So Li Shimin's theory is his masterpiece. He has no idea in his heart, and he is very worried about what to ask, so he cuts the mess quickly.

"Auxiliary machine, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The official system in Shu will use this strategy to try it out. Once it is effective, it will be promoted nationwide and the overall control will be in charge of you, supervised by Xuan Ling." Li Shimin handed over the burden to Changsun Wuji was killed, so he had no time to think about it.

Changsun Wuji was naturally elated, and immediately kowtowed to thank, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

Li Shimin was relieved to see that the eldest grandson Wuji stopped asking, but soon brought it up again.

"Your Majesty, can you take your official evaluation policy back to the minister to observe carefully, the minister wants to..."

Li Shimin didn't hear what Changsun Wuji said later, his eyes were only on the policy theory in Changsun Wuji's hand.

This article about the evaluation strategy of the officials of the Tang Dynasty was written by him by retelling what Li Fu thought in his heart.

When he just returned to the palace to write, because his memory was still fresh, Li Shimin was able to write down the content completely.

But now, after some time has passed, Li Shimin already feels that he has begun to forget something, so it is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to directly hand over this policy to Changsun Wuji to take it back.

"Auxiliary machine, you are responsible for what happened in Sichuan this time. I haven't punished you all this time, so it doesn't mean that this matter is over."

Li Shimin raised his airs, and said in a loud voice: "I am very disappointed with your solution today, so I will be punished for both crimes. You are here today, and copy this strategy from the beginning to the end."

"Uh, ah, minister, obey the order!" Changsun Wuji had nothing to say, so he could only stay in the imperial study and copy, while Fang Xuanling resigned.

After Changsun Wuji copied the entire policy theory, he felt that he had benefited a lot in an instant.

Sometimes it is like this, copying is definitely more impressive than reading, so leave from the imperial study.

Changsun Wuji did not go back to the mansion, but went directly to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and convened officials from all over the Ministry of Officials overnight to discuss Li Shimin's policy in an all-round way, and immediately made a decision to put the official assessment system on the agenda.

And it was initially decided that in the first ten days of this year, a full assessment will be conducted on the officials of the Shu region.

Li Shimin himself, in the following days, paid considerable attention to the assessment of officials from the Ministry of Officials.

But not long after, a bad incident made Li Shimin's eyes shift to Beidi.

In the imperial study room, on Li Shimin's dragon case, there is a letter of credence, which is a handwritten letter from Western Turkic Yehu Khan.

In the handwriting, Ye Hu Khan requested to join forces with Datang to conquer Tuyuhun, and then share Tuyuhun's grassland equally.

"My lords, I have read the handwriting. How do you think I should reply to Ye Hu?" Li Shimin's expression showed no joy or anger.

Fang Xuanling was the first to step forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is a blood feud between Western Turks and Tuyuhun, and the two countries have always been conquests."

"But Tuyuhun and our Tang Dynasty have always had no grievances and no enmity, and all along, it can be said that our Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Western Turks are a natural border defense barrier. The veteran thinks that Tuyuhun should not be targeted."

"The handwriting written by the Khan of the Western Turkic Khan has no meaning in the wording and words. He didn't put my Tang Dynasty in his eyes at all, and it was obvious that he wanted to test my attitude. .”

After listening to Fang Xuanling's performance, Xiao Yu and others nodded their heads, expressing their agreement with Fang Xuanling's opinion.

The civil servants all agreed. Li Shimin looked at the military. Li Jing was the military god of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to make a statement at this time.

"Your Majesty, when the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Xue Yantuo's tribe last year, the Western Turks had assisted our Tang Dynasty. This time they requested to join our Tang Dynasty to deal with Tuyuhun. From my point of view, they should express their views appropriately so as not to be criticized by others."

Li Shimin's heart moved slightly, and he heard Li Ji, the Duke of England, say: "Your Majesty, I have attached to Lord Wei, the Western Turks are now our allies in the Tang Dynasty, and they should help out out of reason."

"Also, Your Majesty, don't forget that in the first year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun took advantage of the Turks to go south and attacked our border, causing heavy losses to our border city of Tang Dynasty. There has been no explanation for this matter until now. We should take this opportunity to avenge our shame!"

Hearing Li Ji's words, Li Shimin's eyes flickered with a dark and inexplicable light, and he remembered what happened back then.

It was after the Xuanwumen Incident, when the Turkic army pressed against the banks of the Weishui River, Tuyuhun took the opportunity to invade the border city of the Tang Dynasty, and took away countless wealth and people from the border city of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, when Li Shimin got rid of the Turkic people, Tuyuhun immediately became obedient, but he kept looking for various excuses for what happened back then.

In fact, Li Shimin has always kept it in his heart, but he was always distracted by various things. Now that Li Ji brought it up, Li Shimin was ready to agree to the suggestion of the Western Turkic Khan.

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was wrong, Fang Xuanling immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the grievances of those years have long passed, if you use this as an excuse now, wouldn't it make Tuyuhun laugh!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, I can't say, what the Western Turks asked me to do in Tang Dynasty, we will do it, and besides, it's an unknown lesson!"

Civil officials have advised that their purpose is nothing more than one, do not want to fight, but the generals quit.

Li Jing snorted coldly, with a murderous look, "What are you talking about, what is called a teacher who has no name, and the bloody feud back then is not an excuse? They are not your parents, wives and children, so you don't feel sorry for them, right?"

"Wei Guogong, what you said is wrong, we must focus on the overall situation..." The civil officials refused to budge, and used various reasons to argue with the generals. Then a larger controversy will erupt.

"That's enough, shut up!" Li Shimin said with a gloomy expression, "Put this matter on hold for the time being, and we'll talk about it at the court meeting tomorrow. Step back!"

"Observe the order!" As soon as they heard that Li Shimin was about to put it in the court meeting, the officials gave up, but after leaving the imperial study, a new round of quarrel broke out between the two sides.

"Fang Xuanling, you are one of the people who witnessed the shame back then. Now that you live a comfortable life, you object when you hear about the war. Do you still have the blood of a Tang official?" Li Jing fired at Fang Xuanling first.

Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes, "British lord, diplomatic relations between the two countries is not a child's play. Wars are not just a fight. His Majesty said that it needs to be discussed by the court. Why do you do this!"

"Fang Xuanling, you're just cowardly, what excuses are you looking for!" Li Ji swears directly, "The little bloodiness of Datang is defeated by people like you!"
