Changsun Wuji didn't want to debate anymore, so he ignored Wei Zheng, turned to look at Li Shimin, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you must be cautious when it comes to the Western Regions. The territory outside Longyou Dao can be used as Du Qi's fiefdom. But The territory must be stationed by the troops of the Tang Dynasty. Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land. Since it is the area of ??the Tang Dynasty, how can there be no troops stationed there. So right now, we have to arrange one person to be the governor of Anxi Dufu Envoy, to take charge of the Western Regions. Besides, arrange for troops to be garrisoned."
Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Following the statements of Gao Shilian and Hou Junji, many other officials expressed their opinions.
Fang Xuanling never spoke.
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked, "Xuanling, what do you think?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the situation is complicated at this time, and it is difficult for me to make a decision for a while. Therefore, I will not express my position on this matter because I don't understand it."
Li Shimin frowned, how could he not know that this was Fang Xuanling's excuse.
However, Li Shimin didn't insist, so he stopped asking Fang Xuanling, looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun Wuji, who do you think is suitable to be the second governor of Anxi's Protectorate?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I think Li Xiaogong is the most suitable."
Li Xiaogong is Du Qi's father-in-law.
Apparently Changsun Wuji's intention was to let Li Xiaogong go so as to restrain Du Qi. Because of Li Xiaogong's presence, even if Du Qi had ideas here, many of them could not be implemented, and in the end he would be able to transition smoothly.
"ah!"
Suddenly, there was a cry from the crowd. Along with the cry, another bang was heard.
Everyone heard the reputation and looked forward.
The person who fell to the ground was Li Xiaogong. At this moment, Li Xiaogong was lying on the ground fainting, giving the feeling of being sick. Even, the eyes are already squinted.
As soon as Li Shimin saw Li Xiaogong fell to the ground and Li Xiaogong's face was ruddy, he immediately understood.
This is pretending to be sick.
Li Shimin knew very well that Li Xiaogong did this in order not to go to the Western Regions and make things difficult for Du Qi. Even though Li Shimin's heart was still a little lumpy, Li Xiaogong had already passed out on the ground, so he couldn't say much. So I could only call for attendants to carry Li Xiaogong down for treatment.
After Li Xiaogong was taken down, Li Shimin asked: "Eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiaogong is sick, please change to someone else."
Changsun Wuji frowned.
He believes that Li Shimin should not compromise.
However, Li Shimin had already made up his mind. Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "Your Majesty, I think the Duke of Yixing is the most suitable."
The Duke of Yixing County is Gao Shilian.
He is from the lineage of Changsun Wuji.
After hearing this, Gao Shilian rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
The Jiedushi of Anxi Dufu, his official position is bigger than that of the governor of a state. Even, it is bigger than the position of the governor of several states, especially in today's situation, Anxi Dufu Jiedushi is a fat job.
As long as he can secure his position as Jiedushi of the Protectorate of Anxi, and when he resigns from the position of Jiedushi of the Protectorate of Anxi and returns to serve in the court, then his official position will surely be promoted several levels in a row.
Since then. Enter the level of important ministers in the court.
Not to mention being the chief of the three provinces, but becoming a minister is more than enough, so Gao Shilian is willing anyway.
Li Shimin nodded, but said: "Gao Qing, you must know that the trip to the Western Regions may not be smooth. There may even be many ups and downs."
Gao Shilian said solemnly: "I rely on Your Majesty Long En. Even though the Western Regions are in great difficulty, I believe the problem is not serious. After all, in the Western Regions, there is an army commanded by Su Dingfang."
Li Shimin said: "In that case, I agree. I will give you the edict, and you will take the edict to the Western Regions, complete the handover with Du Qi, and then control the states in the Western Regions."
"The minister obeys the order."
Gao Shilian replied immediately.
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and said again: "Your Majesty, I have another suggestion."
Li Shimin said: "Say!"
Changsun Wuji said: "Although I believe that Mr. Yixing County will go to the Western Regions, he must successfully complete the task. But the heart of prevention is indispensable, and we must prepare for the worst."
"Su Dingfang served as the governor of Guazhou, and controlled Guazhou and Shazhou, but in fact, Su Dingfang's current military strength is insufficient, and it is difficult to control Du Qi."
"For people like Li Yuan, it is a means of eternal youth. Having lost his power and everything he owned, he gradually lost his will to forge ahead. In a short period of time, her hair was completely white, her cheeks were even more wrinkled, and she was visibly aged.
Li Yuandao: "Emperor, I heard people say that you arranged for Gao Shilian to serve as the governor of Anxi's Protectorate, and let Hou Junji lead 50,000 elites into Guazhou. Is there such a thing?"
"yes!"
Li Shimin answered directly.
This matter has been spread, there is no need to deny it.
Li Yuan said: "Emperor, now you realize how difficult it is for the emperor."
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, but he didn't answer, but instead said: "What does the father mean by these words?"
Li Yuan said: "The relationship between you, Li Shimin, and Du Erlang is extremely close. It can be said that you are Du Qi's elder. In terms of emotion and reason, Du Qi is of great help to you. Without Du Erlang, you, the emperor It's impossible to be so stable. But now, you are planning to deal with Du Qi."
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "Although your heart may not be willing. But as the emperor, with all the power, it is impossible to have a young tiger by his side, so you have to suppress Du Qi. How can you tolerate it on the side of the couch?" Others snore and sleep, that's the way of the emperor."
Li Shimin said: "Father and Emperor have learned a lesson."
He couldn't hide it from Li Yuan, so he admitted it directly.
Li Yuandao: "From the emperor's point of view, there is nothing wrong with your actions. But the emperor, what you did this time may not be correct. Because Du Qi is not an ordinary person, your actions may cause irreversible consequences. You, Have you really not considered the worst consequences?"
Li Shimin said: "Father, with Su Dingfang and Hou Junji in Guazhou, there will be no problems."
Li Yuan said: "Is Du Qi worthy to be equal to Su Dingfang and Hou Junji? In my opinion, even so, Du Qi is strong enough to resist. This time, you may make a wrong judgment. Although I am old now, There is no power, so I can only tell you that this matter is not simple, and it may not be as you wish, and prepare for the worst."
Li Shimin said to himself: "Father is too worried."
To say that Du Qi is great, Li Shimin admits it. But Hou Junji and Su Dingfang are both titans on the battlefield, they are both able to control the battlefield, Li Shimin believed that Du Qi would not dare to act rashly.
The official position of Jiedushi of the Anxi Dufu Mansion will definitely be transferred to Gao Shilian's hands. Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan stroked his gray beard and said, "Emperor, you have to remember that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. A hole is enough to trigger a series of reactions. Du Qi can influence it." A hole. That's all, I'm just talking nonsense, you are the emperor, you can figure it out."
Li Shimin didn't think Du Qi dared to act rashly.
Gao Shilian must win.
Li Shimin heard Li Yuan's words, didn't say anything more, got up and left. In Li Shimin's heart, at this time, he secretly made up his mind that he will definitely solve the Western Regions smoothly.
Wei Zheng is not optimistic.
Li Yuan is not optimistic.
But in the end, he will definitely resolve this matter easily and smoothly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
