As the saying goes: the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly.
A letter from thousands of miles away, after eight hundred miles of urgent day and night travel from Anxi to the Shendu, is now in the hands of several political affairs hall prime ministers, and finally returned to the imperial case of the Empress Wu.
After watching the emergency recital, the prime ministers had different reactions, with different expressions, some people closed their eyes and made contemplative gestures, some people looked at their noses and noses, and some people looked at their hearts and minds, and some people shook their heads and closed their mouths one by one, but no sound came out Although they all have different reactions, they are all making a look of racking their brains and meditating, but they all have one thing in common, that is, calm, unusually calm, worthy of being mixed with officialdom for many years, the so-called "moving qi and nourishing the body", practicing the temperament of not changing the color of Mount Tai in front of him.
The content of Lou Shide's urgent report can be described as earth-shattering, for the Tang Dynasty in front of him, it is to make matters worse, rubbing a handful of salt on top of the fresh wound.
The Turks were wanton with the border, stepped on the northern frontier, broke through several cities in the northern Xinjiang in a series, and stabbed the Tang Dynasty several times in the body.
At this time, the Tubo people did not let Mo Si concentrate on the beauty, and gathered heavy troops to eyed Anxi, wanting to bite off this piece of fat.
The so-called blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and there are not only Tubo people next to Anxi, but also ten Western Turkic surnames.
Their khan Hu Sero also sent a letter to Lou Shide, saying that this year's grassland is not rich in water and grass, and cattle and sheep are not thriving In short, it means that our Western Turkic ten surnames lack food and are difficult to survive the cold winter, so please support Datang.
We also know that the Tang family has a large business and a large population, and it is not easy for everyone, so the requirements are not high, and it is almost enough to give 200 stones of food.
Regarding the shameless behavior of the ten surnames of the Western Turks, the prime ministers have long been scolding their mothers in their hearts: "Hu Seluo, can your grandmother be more shameless, the water and grass are not abundant, and the six animals are not prosperous, resulting in insufficient food for the winter."
When you Turks have enough food for the winter, you will give you 10 million stone of grain, which will be tossed up in a blink of an eye, and there will still be not enough to eat next year.
Why can't you learn from Master Lou and farm the land, nomads who don't farm the land, count on God's face all year round to live, how can there be enough food and clothing?"
Although the prime ministers are not angry in their hearts, they are helpless, whether it is Turkic or Tibetan, they are that virtue.
If you have food, you will throw off your cheeks and eat it, and if you don't have food, you will grab it.
Nei Shi Wei Fangzhen, the subordinate servant Wei Siqian, the left servant Wang Fangqing, and the Zhongshu servant Cen Changqian, these four are all old treacherous and cunning people, and they all made up their minds to pretend to be dumb, as long as the Empress Wu doesn't ask, they will never speak.
There are now five prime ministers in the political affairs hall, and in addition to these four "old thieves", there is also a newly promoted Wu Chenghei.
Wu Chengsi has been exiled in the smoky land of Lingnan for many years, and was pardoned by Empress Wu a few years ago, and he went up all the way, but in just a few years, he climbed to the position of prime minister, mixed into the political hall, and squeezed into the ranks of a group of "old thieves".
However, although he entered the political hall and had the right to discuss politics, because his Taoism was too shallow, he did not have the ability to match it, and he was not looked at by several "old thieves" at all.
The "old thieves" are calm and calm, but Wu Chenghei does not have this self-cultivation.
A silent invasion made him suffer a few big mouths from his aunt, and also let Wu Sansi pick up the cheap and be able to take command of the expedition, and it is likely that he will pick up an immortal achievement in vain.
Now, this Tubo and the Western Turks are coming to join in the fun again, it is really unbearable to grandma, and it is too much to ignore my aunt Wu Chenghei To kill, you must send a large army to kill and kill, and it is best to kill all these bastards, so as not to be disgusted from time to time.
"Ahem" was excited, Wu Chengsi coughed before he opened his mouth, and he was still wheezing, which made people look troubled and worried, and it took a long time to calm down a little, and he couldn't wait to say: "The queen of heaven, the Tibetans, the Turks, the barbarians, the ignorant and ignorant, dare to offend Tianyan."
Minister, cough cough, the minister thought that he should send a large army out of Anxi, in order to please the ministers, kill all these barbarians, and prevent future troubles. ” Wu Chenghei finished speaking, and the Wucheng Hall was suddenly silent, and even the sound of people's breathing could be heard clearly.
Wei Fangzhen and the others glanced at Wu Chengsi, gave him a thumbs up in their hearts, and praised him one after another: "Cattle people, the real cattle people, killing the barbarians throughout the ages, how many cattle people have not done it, even the strength of the Han Wu country has not been able to do it, but now it is said in Wu Chengsi's mouth, which is really admirable and emotional."
However, the barbarians are easy to kill, and now the northern Xinjiang is full of holes, how many people have been displaced, and Yunzhou is in danger, which is enough to make the Tang Dynasty anxious.
I want to start a war again in Anxi, and the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of Taizong, so what to use to fight on both sides" Thinking of this, Nei Shi Wei took a step forward, and said to the queen of the martial arts: "The martial minister is young and promising, ambitious, and swallows like a tiger The old minister thought that since the military minister had this ambition, he should worship the military minister as the commander, go to Anxi, and lead all the soldiers and horses, and he will be able to kill the Western Turks and Tubo and the like, and I will never suffer in the future. ” As soon as Wei Fangzhen spoke, Wei Siqian, Wang Fangqing, and Cen Changqian echoed one after another, unanimously praising Wu Chenghei for leading his troops out of Anxi to conquer the Western Turks and Tibet.
"Waste" Empress Wu scolded in her heart, and glared at Wu Chengsi fiercely, Fang Cai's eyes turned, his face eased a lot, and he said to Wei Fangzhen and others: "You are all the prime ministers of the political hall, and you are all the ministers of the elders of our dynasty. ” Although Empress Wu has not yet ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, in the eyes of the courtiers, she is also a golden mouth.
Now, now that Empress Wu has spoken, Wei Fangzhen and the others naturally can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Zhongshu Lang Cen Changqian said: "The queen of heaven, the northern Xinjiang silently sipping a large-scale attack, and a war with our dynasty is inevitable, the minister thinks that it is really not appropriate to raise swords and soldiers in the land of Anxi, and should be dealt with separately."
The minister thought that he should focus on the northern frontier, gather heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with Mosi, regain the lost territory, and raise the prestige of our country.
And the land of Anxi can be taken on the defensive, Lou Shide has been in Anxi for a long time, but he can take on a great responsibility, and the queen of heaven can worship him as the protector of Anxi, and the president of Anxi four towns soldiers and horses, confronting the Tubo people, not seeking to break the enemy, but seeking to hold the city.
When the heavy snow closed the road, the Tubo people naturally retreated, and the danger of Anxi was solved.
The ten surnames of the Western Turks, there are also more than 100,000 people who control the strings, and the ministers think that Hu Seluo has not yet decided to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to send a messenger to appease his heart and give him money and food. ” Cen Changqian's strategy is actually the way of Lao Cheng to seek the country, first disintegrate its alliance, divide and dissolve, and the overall is: the decisive battle is silent, dragging Tubo to death, and appeasing the Western Turks.
In addition to the ignorant Wu Chenghei, the other three prime ministers seconded the proposal, and even the Empress Wu bowed his head again and again, feeling very relieved
