Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and wrote the memorial overnight.

The next day.

Daming Palace.

Li Shimin summoned his ministers and asked about the situation of the war in Goguryeo, but found that there was no progress, so he proposed that after a while, he would go to the imperial conquest.

The minister of civil and military objected immediately, but Li Shimin didn't say much about it.

Only those who are familiar with him know that he has not given up.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian and others secretly decided that even if Li Shimin did not give up, they would immediately object when Li Shimin brought it up.

Absolutely do not give Li Shimin the opportunity to personally conquer.

Anyway, at this time, the Shanxi soldiers were just fighting with Goguryeo, and Li Shimin didn't care about the imperial conquest, and there was still enough time.

At this time, his mind is on the east tour of Luoyang.

He has been on the throne for many years, and he has long wanted to tour the east and show off his might.

But he also has a headache, because the East Tour has been scheduled, and the result is an attack on Goguryeo, which has caused a lot of opposition from the officials recently.

Especially Wei Zheng, who forced him to die several times, made him one head and two big ones.

Looking at the crowd at this moment, seeing Wei Zheng eager to try, Li Shimin was a little scared, and dared not mention the East Tour!

but.

We are the emperor, how can we let the courtiers handle it? !

Li Shimin coughed and said, "About the preparation for the east tour half a year ago, the Ministry of Rites has selected an auspicious day for the trip?!"

When asking questions, he just looked straight at Li Xiaogong, Minister of Rites, and didn't dare to look at Wei Zheng.

Unexpectedly, before Li Xiaogong could speak, Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Li Shimin pretended he didn't hear it, and signaled Li Xiaogong to answer quickly.

Wei Zheng didn't care whether he heard it or not, he bowed in salute, took out the memorial, and said: "The old minister believes that His Majesty's east tour is very promising. The old minister watched the sky last night. Seven days later, it will be an auspicious day for the east tour."

Li Shimin was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong!

Wei Zheng didn't object?

still support? !

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Not only was he dumbfounded, but the civil and military ministers were also dumbfounded.

Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, who were drowsy at first, woke up instantly, and looked at Wei Zheng with surprise.

Is the old man a ghost?

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were also taken aback. Originally they wanted the iron-necked Wei Zheng to come forward and give the emperor a hard time, but then they smoothed things over and delayed as long as they could.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng directly agreed.

I also watch the sky at night and see that it will be auspicious day after seven days.

Will Wei Zheng still watch the sky? !

The business is quite broad!

Tang Jian coughed and said, "Wei Xiang, you, you, don't you object?"

Wei Zhengyi spoke righteously, saying: "It's because the old minister was ignorant a few days ago. Since the East Tour has already been set, it cannot be changed. Otherwise, what will the world think of my Tang court?!"

Li Shimin was very moved, but he didn't dare to move.

He tentatively said: "Wei Xiang, I can actually postpone the east tour for a month or two."

Wei Zheng said: "No need, you should go if you have booked a date, and don't go if you miss it."

"Go, go!" Li Shimin hurriedly said, "What Wei Xiang said is justified, I decided to go to the East for a tour, and I will leave this matter to Wei Xiang."

Wei Zheng smiled.

He was waiting for Li Shimin's words, let him deal with it, and he can go one step ahead.

He alone has the final say on rewards and punishments.

By the time.

If Li Shimin wanted to reward the monk again, he had to get his consent.

Moreover, he can take charge of this matter, and can also control the eunuch drafting well.

With power in hand, many things are easy to handle.

Therefore, he did not delay this time, but took the initiative to attack. Because of his initiative, the emperor will delegate power to him.

After all, when both the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it, he was so powerful and chose to support it. The emperor must have trusted him very much.

At this time, Li Shimin's thinking was that Wei Zheng must know that he cannot be persuaded, so he simply agreed.

He also wants to reciprocate and give Wei Zheng a chance to watch him.

It's all a deal.

Li Shimin said: "Is there anything else you love to play? If not, you will retreat."

Everyone retreated one after another.

Immediately, a large number of people surrounded Wei Zheng.

Tang Jian said: "Wei Xiang, why did you choose to support, this is completely different from what you said before."

Du Zhenglun said: "Wei Xiang, Your Majesty's eastward tours are wasting people's money and money, that's what you said, why are you insincere?!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Wei Xiang feels that persuasion is hopeless, so he wants to personally seize the power to follow and take care of His Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji said: "There are so many people in the court hall who can't stand it. If Minister Wei goes alone, I'm afraid it won't help."

They are not optimistic about the matter.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty's eastward tour this time, laboring the people and wasting wealth is the second priority. This old man has already discussed with the side-by-side kings. When the time comes, ask them to borrow food without interest. This matter can temporarily eliminate hidden dangers."

hiss!

Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji and the others gasped in surprise.

"Is this true?!"

"Master Tianshi is really willing to borrow food?"

"There is a large warehouse in Yunyuan Mountain, no longer under the Taicang, there are tens of millions of tons of grain stored, which can feed millions of people for years!"

"If he is willing to borrow food, the emperor's east tour will not be a problem."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

Wei Zheng said, "The old man said that it's nothing to waste people's money and waste money. His Majesty's east tour this time may be more likely to breed pride and complacency, and may also be greedy for sex and bad for the body."

He shook his head and sighed, "Luoyang is the biggest stop of the Eastern Tour, and it is also the last stop of the draft. Do you think His Majesty will meet talented women?"

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs suddenly widened his eyes, his face was shocked and he couldn't believe it.

None of them thought about this level.

Changsun Wuji saluted, "Wei Xiang is far-sighted, and I am not as good as this old man."

Fang Xuanling also cupped his hands and said, "President Wei is far-sighted, I am ashamed of myself."

The others also bowed their hands one after another, making Wei Zheng a little embarrassed.

but.

He didn't say anything, Su Chen told him to ask for a lottery.

In fact, he didn't expect it either.

After all, many ministers present also believed in Buddhism, and for this reason, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Su Chen.

And there are some things that require him to do it silently in order to succeed.

Say it in advance, who knows if someone with ulterior motives will sabotage it.

After all, there was a lot of oil and water on the way to the east.

Wei Zheng didn't trust anyone until the matter was settled.

He bid farewell to the officials, went to the East Palace alone, and met the crown prince Li Chengqian. At this time, Li Chengqian's crown prince was already pregnant and was about to give birth.

Wei Zheng expressed his intention and asked Li Chengqian to invite the queen to the East Palace.

Where did Li Chengqian dare to go against Wei Zheng's intention, so he ran to the harem in a panic and invited the queen.

After Empress Changsun arrived, she first met the Crown Princess and confirmed that she was fine, then said, "Chengqian, why did you ask your mother to come here?"

Li Chengqian said: "It's not that the ministers are asking to see the queen, but the master is asking for something."

Empress Changsun was startled, she saw Wei Zheng sitting in the corner, and hurried forward to greet him.

Wei Zheng stood up and saluted.

"The old minister disregarded the etiquette and law, and begged to see the empress, and asked the empress to forgive me!"

The queen said: "Wei Xiang doesn't need to be too polite. Since Wei Xiang can see the palace through Chengqian, there must be something important."

Wei Zheng said: "There is indeed a big thing."

Afterwards, the crowd retreated, leaving only the queen and Li Chengqian.

In fact, Wei Zheng didn't want to keep Li Chengqian, but when he thought of letting a cripple run errands, and being avoided in his territory, he felt embarrassed as a master.

Just didn't see it.

He directly knelt down and said: "The old man asks the empress to follow His Majesty on the east tour."

The queen was taken aback.

She thought it was something, but it turned out that she was going to follow the east tour.

He said: "Why did Prime Minister Wei say that? Your Majesty is on a tour to the east. The journey is long and the road is rough. My palace is in poor health. I really can't follow."

She sighed, and said: "Otherwise, I would also like to follow His Majesty on a tour to the east to appreciate the great rivers and mountains."

Li Chengqian said: "Master, why don't you let me go on an east tour."

Wei Zheng said: "The Crown Princess is about to give birth, so the East Palace should not leave easily."

The prince was helpless.

He also wanted to go on a tour of the east, to be awe-inspiring, and to be able to follow Li Shimin's side, and to swear his status.

No matter what.

Wei Zheng didn't allow it.

Wei Zheng said: "This time, it is the most suitable for the empress to go with me."

The queen smiled wryly: "Wei Xiang, why do I have to go with me?!"

She was very tired. Although the elixir could prolong her life for several years, her body was still tormented by illnesses. Only Sun Simiao occasionally sent elixir to delay the pain.

However, he was still weak and tired.

Although I want to go, I am powerless.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty's eastward tour may affect the fate of the emperor, and thus affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Only the empress will have a chance to stop it."

The queen was taken aback.

His face became serious, "Okay, Ben Gong understands, Ben Gong will definitely go."

"I object!"

Who knows, Li Chengqian was the first to object, saying: "The queen mother is in poor health, it is really not suitable to go out. Master, you let her go, if something happens, you can't afford it."

He seldom speaks rudely like this, so after he finished speaking, he was a little blunt and didn't dare to look at Wei Zheng.
