Chang'an City Taiji Palace Wude Palace.Li Shimin was discussing with the ministers.Most of the officials present here today are civilians.There are Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Pei Lian, Feng Deyi, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others.The theme of Li Shimin's deliberations was on the issue of agricultural development in the Tang Dynasty.Among them, how to deal with natural disasters is the main focus.After Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er were taken away, Li Shimin said that it was impossible not to worry about their safety.Needless to say, Qin Mo'er grew up next to Li Shimin's sister Princess Pingyang, and Qin Mo'er's words and deeds are also very similar to Princess Pingyang.Li Shimin's feelings for Qin Mo'er are like treating his sister.And Zhao Yunze, although he has only been an official in the court for a few months, he has shown extremely extraordinary talent since he stepped into Li Shimin's sight.Li Shimin also admires Zhao Yunze very much.After Zhao Yunze was taken captive, Li Shimin remembered all the things Zhao Yunze had done since he became an official.suddenly remembered that Zhao Yunze had mentioned dealing with natural disasters.It happened that there was no major event in the court today, and after Li Shimin dispersed the court, he summoned the main officials into the Liangyi Hall to discuss the matter.Li Shimin's ministers were deliberating, and suddenly an attendant entered the palace to report, saying that there was a report from Li Jijun in the state.Li Shimin hurriedly let the person who delivered the military newspaper into the hall.Waiting for the person who delivered the military newspaper to come in, Li Shimin saw that this was not Lu Yun, a palace guard captain he sent to Shuofang to track down the whereabouts of Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er."
Lu Yun, why did you send Li Ji's military report, could it be that you have already been to Bingzhou," Li Shimin hurriedly asked the captain.Lu Yun said: "The minister led his troops all the way to Shuofang to track down the enemy's traces, until he saw the soldiers and horses of General Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, under Shuofang City. ”"Li Ji is going to Shuofang City to do something" Li Shimin's brows furrowed, a little displeased.Lu Yundao: "Governor Li said that Captain Zhao and Miss Qin had been rescued, but Captain Zhao accompanied Sun Simiao to Shuofang City.Li Du Governor Chen Bingshuo Fang Chengxia was also out of consideration to help Captain Zhao. ”"Why did Sun Simiao go to Shuofang again, Zhao Yunze accompanied Sun Simiao to Shuofang, what happened to Shuofang," Li Shimin became more and more confused the more he listened."
Your Majesty, after the minister arrived in Shuofang, Governor Li asked the minister to bring his military report back to Chang'an City and hand it over to Your Majesty.The affairs of Shuo Fang's side have been described in detail by Li Dudu in the military report, please take a look at your majesty. ”Lu Yun picked up the military newspaper and said with both hands held high."
Hurry up and submit it" An attendant took the military report in Lu Yun's hand and handed it to Li Shimin.The military newspaper was packed in a bamboo tube, and the opening of the bamboo tube was sealed and stamped with a fire seal.Li Shimin inspected the fire seal seal, and then asked the attendant to open the bamboo tube.The chamberlain opened the bamboo tube and poured out three rolled-up pamphlets from it.Li Shimin looked at the titles of the three pamphlets side by side, and a puzzled look immediately appeared on his face.He picked up Li Ji's recital again and read it in detail.The officials in the Liangyi Hall saw Li Shimin's wonderful face-changing performance next.I saw Li Shimin frowning and puzzled for a while, showing shock for a while, and smiling again.After Li Shimin finished reading Li Ji's report, he read the other two booklets separately.After that, Li Shimin said to the officials who came to discuss the matter: "There has been an accident in Shuofang, and Liang Shi is dead. ”Ah, those officials were shocked.Li Shimin picked up one of the pamphlets, raised it in his hand and said: "This is the so-called national letter of Shuofang forwarded by Li Ji, Liang Shidu died of a violent illness, and Liang Shidu's son Liang Kang succeeded to the throne. ”When the ministers saw the letter of state, they came back to their senses from their fright.Li Shimin also said: "Liang Shi has taken refuge in the Turks, and his behavior is shameful.But Shuofang was, after all, a subject state recognized by the Turks.It has only been a few months since the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic New Alliance have only been in the world, and since Shuo Fang has informed me of the death of Liang Shidu and the succession of the new lord to the throne according to the number of rites, then we must not lose the number of courtesies.I plan to send a message to Li Ji, so that he, as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, will go to Shuofang to mourn Liang Shidu, and participate in Liang Kang's succession ceremony by the way.What do you think" The ministers exchanged opinions in a low voice, and the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with condolences to Master Liang."
However, if the Tang Dynasty sends an envoy to participate in Liang Kang's succession ceremony, won't it mean that the Tang Dynasty recognizes Shuofang's status as a country of its own?"
Li Shimin said: "Even if Datang does not recognize it, it will not change the fact that Shuofang is a country of its own."
However, since the secretaries had doubts about sending envoys to participate in Liang Kang's succession ceremony, they should carefully consider the words and phrases in the letter of state replying to Shuo Fang, so that they could not lose their manners and not admit that Shuo Fang had become a country of its own. ”After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Xiao Yu and Kong Yingda, and said: "Shiwen, Chongyuan, reply to Shuo Fangguoshu, and I will hand it over to the two of you to discuss." ”"Obey the order" Xiao Yu and Kong Yingda hurriedly responded.Both of them are great Confucians in the world, and it is a piece of cake to prepare a national document.Li Shimin handed Shuo Fang's credentials to Xiao Yu again.After that, Li Shimin said: "There is a change in Shuofang, and the matter discussed today is here for the time being, and the ministers should go back."
The officials got up and said goodbye to His Majesty Li Shimin.Li Shimin left the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui in the Liangyi Palace.After the other officials withdrew, Li Shimin came directly: "Liang Shi was calculated to death by Zhao Yunze." ”The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were all a little stunned when they heard Li Shimin's words."
Your Majesty, wasn't Zhao Yunze kidnapped by the Turks, and how could he have anything to do with the death of Liang Shidu" The eldest grandson Wuji asked what Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also wanted to ask.Li Shimin picked up the remaining two pamphlets on the table and said: "Zhao Yunze said that Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren was defeated, and he mixed in Shuofang and Liang Luoren to kill Liang Shidu.If it weren't for Li Ji's handwritten report, and Li Ji sent back Liang Luoren's letter of surrender, I really can't believe it.The details of this matter will be known after you have seen Li Ji's recital. ”After speaking, Li Shimin handed over Li Ji's recital and Liang Luoren's surrender to the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui for circulation.After the three of them finished circulating, they returned the two booklets to Li Shimin."
Alas, this Zhao Yunze can really toss and toss silently, so he has found a place for Datang."
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "Because of the situation, Zhao Yunze said that Liang Luoren was demoted by the advantage of his tongue alone, and forced him to kill Liang Shi and surrender to Tang.Changsun Sheng was a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty, and the greatest achievement of his life was that he traveled among the Turkic tribes for more than 20 years, and with his intrigue and extraordinary eloquence, he divided and collapsed the powerful Turks, weakened the Turkic power, and stabilized the northern frontier of the Sui Dynasty.It can be said that a powerful Turkic empire was fundamentally destroyed by the hands of Changsun Sheng, and this achievement is very within the reach of Changsun Wuji, and when Changsun Wuji heard Fang Xuanling praise his father, his face couldn't help but show pride.However, he still said modestly: "My father was able to mess with the Turks, but he failed to find a country, but Zhao Yunze had the upper hand." ”Du Ruhui suddenly said: "I knew this was the case, I really should have ignored Zhao Yunze and let the Turks take him to the grassland." ”Du Ruhui's words made Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling stunned.Immediately, they laughed together.Du Ruhui's words are very easy to understand, since Zhao Yunze can harm Liang Shidu, it is better to let him go to the grassland to directly harm Jieli.After laughing for a while, Li Shimin said: "Xuan Ling also said just now, Zhao Yunze's work is due to the situation.Without Liang Shidu's son being seriously ill and Sun Simiao entering Shuofang again, without Liang Shidu's trust in Liang Luoren, and without Li Ji's soldiers and horses supporting Zhao Yunze under Shuofang City, Zhao Yunze's plan would be difficult to succeed.If he had been put in the Turks, he would have not done so. ”Du Ruhui also laughed: "The minister is just joking."
But Your Majesty, Zhao Yunze has made a great contribution after all, how do you plan to reward Zhao Yunze for this merit" Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin frowned.He sighed and said, "Although Zhao Yunze has made great contributions, this matter should not be made public for the time being.How should I repay my merits" Li Shimin thought about it, suddenly smiled playfully, and then said with a straight face: "Don't praise Zhao Yunze vigorously, this son is simply bold to instigate Li Ji to send troops to Shuofang."
When he comes back, I will find him to settle this account" When the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words, they were stunned at first, and then they all snickered.Zhao Yunze, Zhao Yunze, Your Majesty, this is to yin you, you ask for more blessings:
