Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe and was sitting directly above, majestic. Today's Li Shimin has secured his position. In the entire Tang Dynasty, no one can shake Li Shimin's position.
If it is said that when Li Shimin first came to the throne, because of his improper position, officials from all over the world rebelled, which might lead to the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty, but at this point, it is no longer possible.
After all, Datang has the foundation laid by Du Qi, business development is very rapid, economic development momentum is strong, and people's livelihood will soon recover. And because there is no such foreign enemy as the Turks, and Li Shimin himself made great efforts to govern, released the maids, reduced taxes, reduced corvees, and resumed production, the Great Tang Dynasty has returned to vitality.
Li Shimin served as the prince in the late nine years of Li Yuanwude, and it has been more than three years and nearly four years since he was in power.
Such a long time is enough for earth-shaking changes to occur.
Li Shimin sat firmly in his seat.
In the main hall at this moment, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and other civil and military officials gathered here.
Under Li Shimin's command, there are a lot of talents.
But now Li Shimin has summoned many courtiers. The reason is that the Western Regions sent back news that Du Qi took over the four places of Yiwu City, Gaochang Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom and Qiuci Kingdom.
According to the previous news, Du Qi only occupied Yiwu City and Gaochang State.
Today, there are two more countries.
The situation is quite different.
After Li Shimin explained the general situation, he said again: "Du Qi has now won the four countries of the Western Regions, which is indeed very powerful. This kid is indeed capable. He has not been to the Western Regions for a long time, and he has made such great achievements in a short period of time." .¡±
Counting Du Qi's time in the Western Regions, it was actually just over a year, not even two years. It is not easy to have such a foundation in such a short period of time.
Even Li Shimin, a talented and general emperor, admired Du Qi's ability. At least on Li Shimin's body, he may not be able to do it.
When Changsun Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, he glanced at Du Ruhui, stood up without saying a word, raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that I can no longer tolerate Du Qi."
A few words, resonant.
? It sounded like a thunderbolt on the ground in the hall.
Immediately there was a storm.
What Changsun Wuji said was the prelude to dealing with Du Qi. As Changsun Wuji stood up, Hou Junji below also came out, with a dignified expression and a murderous air.
In the early years, although Hou Junji had military exploits, they were not particularly obvious. As for supporting Li Shimin, Hou Junji never flinched from the beginning to the end, so Conglong's contribution is not weak.
Just so, his official position is very prominent.
But compared to Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, Hou Junji is a few grades behind. Therefore, when dealing with Du Qi this time, Hou Junji came out in a hurry.
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to attack Du Qi this time."
As soon as these words came out, Du Ruhui's complexion changed slightly.
Immediately, calm was restored. Compared with the people in the hall, Du Ruhui got the news that Du Qi controlled the four states first. After all, the Zheng family had returned from the Western Regions long ago, and brought back news of the Western Regions.
Du Ruhui was very relieved of Du Qi.
Although his son is not very old, he is sophisticated in dealing with things. Du Ruhui sent a letter to Du Qi specifically, asking Du Qi not to worry about him, since Du Ruhui was an important minister of the imperial court after all, so nothing could happen.
Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and immediately scolded: "Hou Junji, shut up. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, what I say is from the bottom of my heart. Du Qi is the king of Pingxi in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Western Regions, he ceded his territory and stood on his own. On this point, please think twice, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin said sternly: "Du Qi has always been the Pingxi King of my Tang Dynasty. Du Qi's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is indelible. Du Qi also made great achievements in stabilizing Suzhou, Shazhou and Guazhou in the Western Regions." Great merit. I don't understand why it's up to the point of attacking Du Qi, I think it's weird!"
It is Li Shimin's reason as an emperor that Du Qi's power should be contained. However, Li Shimin also knew that even if he wanted to contain it, it would not be him who took the initiative to send troops first.
Li Shimin's position is not right, no matter how he whitewashes it, he will kill his brother and force himnbsp;
"Du Qi was young and successful. Such a person is not a veteran in the officialdom. He is willing to swallow his anger. Your eldest grandson Wuji insists on implementing it, and I have nothing to say. But in the future, once it really affects Datang, your eldest grandson Wuji will be responsible, and you will be Datang's sinner at that time, because you persecuted Du Qi."
Wei Zheng's words were extremely powerful.
He was a big troll.
Opening his mouth, his words were aggressive and pressing every step of the way, which made Changsun Wuji a little embarrassed.
Changsun Wuji was unwilling to admit defeat, he refused to budge an inch: "I am in charge and I am in charge. No matter what, we cannot allow Du Qi's strength to increase again. What's more, Du Qi is King Pingxi, a man of Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty's." Courtier. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Du Qi can only accept what your majesty wants. If Du Qi wants to refuse, then he has a different heart. If this is the case, Du Qi should beat him."
Wei Zheng said disdainfully: "If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart; if the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then the ministers will treat him like a countryman; How your Majesty treats Du Qi, Du Qi will naturally respond accordingly. You have to beat Du Qi everywhere, and Du Qi is not so easy to beat."
After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "If I remember correctly, it was your eldest grandson Wuji who targeted Du Qi several times back then. But every time, you returned home without a feather and lost your face. To be honest, I hope Your eldest grandson Wuji can win this time, because you cannot afford the price of failure."
Changsun Wuji said: "Wei Zheng, you are too self-righteous. If you had vision, you wouldn't be working for Li Jiancheng. This time, I stick to my opinion."
Two people can't stop arguing.
Li Shimin sat on the top, frowned, but never intervened. He had an idea in his mind, thinking that he would stop targeting Du Qi, and leave the Western Regions alone for the time being.
After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so what Du Qi wants, so be it. But just after this idea arose, Li Shimin suppressed his thoughts again, because Li Shimin, as the leader of great promise, unified the Tang Dynasty, and even now Longyou Dao has been rectified.
He hopes to open up new territories.
Li Shimin wants to control the Western Regions.
In the end Li Shimin didn't speak, but watched quietly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
