Chapter 707: The Western Expedition Strategy
"I am just a person who is not both morally and talented. How can a person like me go to Lingyan Pavilion to be too inappropriate."
Li Shimin then said, "I'm asking you now, I can let you go to Lingyan Pavilion, but you can go to."
Sometimes talking to the emperor is like talking to the boss. This kind of topic is a topic that gives away a question, such as your boss asks you if you want a salary.
If you directly say that you want a salary on this topic, your boss will think you are insatiable.
If you say you don't want a salary, it will make you particularly pretentious and hypocritical.
This is also a way for a person as a boss to test you.
Fortunately, even though I had never encountered such a thing in my previous life, I had seen it and heard of it.
It is the same in the workplace, and even more so in front of the emperor, because the emperor has the power to live and kill.
You cannot answer blindly at this time.
You must understand the purpose of the other person asking you.
Li Zheng sighed, "Lingyan Pavilion is an important official in the world. It has the meritorious people of the country, and has the talent before. I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but I am still young and have a bad reputation, which has caused trouble for Your Majesty."
Li Shimin smiled inexplicably.
Wang Ding looked at the king and his ministers, and didn't know how to talk for a while, and the atmosphere became silent again.
After a long time, Li Shimin stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window, "Jingyang is really a good place to cultivate one's own character. It makes people don't want to leave as soon as they come. Sometimes I want to live in your Jingyang too much, so that I don't have to deal with those annoying memorials every day, nor do I have to think about managing the government affairs and facing those court officials."
Why did Li Shimin start to talk? I have never seen him talk like this before.
Could it be that he is old?
People like Li Shimin should not have such a rumor. If they want to kill someone, Li Shimin won’t say anything nonsense.
Li Shimin whispered: "This time the Western Expedition was to attack Dashi, the court had decided to send troops after the autumn harvest, and 100,000 troops were sent to Tubo."
After saying this, Li Shimin waited for Li Zheng's reaction.
But when Li Zheng sighed, Li Shimin said, "Why is there anything wrong with my approach?"
Li Zheng stood up and said, "There is nothing wrong. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye first."
Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng, and watched Li Zheng open the door and walk out of the room.
After sitting down, Li Shimin looked at Wang Ding who was still standing aside, "Will this kid's temperament change?"
Wang Ding hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the old slave persuade Chang'an Order?"
Li Shimin said compromisely: "No need."
Wang Ding bowed and said, "That old slave will take his leave first."
The yard was full of busy palace maids, and Li Lizhi was talking to her mother.
Li Zheng walked out of the villa and saw Li Tai sitting at the gate of the villa eating peaches.
Li Tai handed Li Zheng a peach and said, "The peaches sent by Jiangnan cannot be eaten normally."
After taking the peach, Li Zheng said, "Your father wants me to go to Lingyan Pavilion."
Li Tai threw the peach pit in his hand and said, "Do you go to Lingyan Pavilion? Put aside your character first, just printing technology, you will be a contribution to the country and you can go to Lingyan Pavilion."
Li Zheng ate the peach that was still a little hard and said, "Your father also said that the court would send 100,000 troops to fight against Dashi."
Li Tai followed up and said, "What do you think?"
"Your Highness King of Wei, do you know what happens when a hundred thousand troops enter the Western Regions?"
"I heard Li Ke talk about the Western Regions. The deserts in the Western Regions are too barren, and sometimes there is no source of water for thousands of miles."
Li Zheng ate the peach while eating, saying, "It was enough to be a problem for His Highness Shu to bring a thousand people in the desert. Fortunately, the pressure on the manpower organization was not high, and he could grit his teeth and survive. A team of one thousand people could still handle it. How many people had a team of one hundred thousand people, and they needed food and water."
"The most important thing is the morale of the army. The morale of the army of 100,000 people is more difficult to control. In addition, the environment in the desert is already harsh. The bigger the team, the greater the pressure, the more difficult it will be to move forward."
Li Zheng sneered: "A hundred thousand army? A hundred thousand army is too much."
Li Tai said: "Then what do you mean is that you shouldn't send troops? Should you reduce the number of troops?"
"How do I know? I don't understand any military tactics."
Seeing that Li Zheng was getting further and further away, Li Tai stopped and thought in his mind that there was also a prince's advice in this time that he would send troops.
At this time, the father nodded, and the resolution of the court had already been completed.
It is obviously inappropriate to sing the opposite tune at this time.
But it would be better if it was a very correct antonym.
Li Zheng said it was quite reasonable. To enter Tubo, he had to pass through the Western Regions.
It will be even more difficult for an army of 100,000 people to command.
Li Tai tidied up his clothes and walked into the other yard. His father was sitting in the room reading a book. The binding style of reading was Jingyang's household registration.
"Father."
Li Tai stood at the door and saluted.
Li Shimin's eyes were already looking at the books in front of him, "Come in and talk."
"Here."
Li Tai walked into the room and bowed and said, "Father, I have just chatted with Li Zheng for a while."
Li Shimin looked up at Li Tai, "What did Li Zheng say?"
Li Tai lowered his head and said, "Li Zheng said that to enter the Tubo territory, he had to pass through the desert in the Western Regions. The environment was harsh and there was a lack of water. I heard from the King of Shu that there was still strong wind and sand in the desert. If a hundred thousand troops entered the desert in the Western Regions, command would become more difficult."
Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was not very good, Li Tai said again: "My son knows that he has made up his mind and his father cannot take back his orders, but it is related to the safety of the 100,000 troops. Mr. Mr. still dares to say, please think twice."
"Qingque, how was the compilation of the Earth Records?"
Li Tai said in silence for a while: "It has not been compiled yet, and it will take some time."
Li Shimin said again: "The affairs of the court will be decided by the court. It has been so long since the matter of the local chronicles and has not been compiled yet. You must hurry up and don't follow Li Zheng all day long."
Hearing this, Li Tai did not dare to refute it, and quickly said, "My son remembers the teachings of his father."
It is said that Li Shimin is going to send troops to the west to Dashi.
Is it a bit too inflated?
Li Zheng didn't care about these things, and Li Shimin showed off whatever he wanted.
Looking at Li Zhi who was making a model at home, Li Zheng asked, "Your Highness King Jin, your father has come to Jingyang to escape the heat. Don't you go to see your father? Ask him Hello?"
Li Zhi's hand was still assembling the model of the ship and said, "I plan to greet you in the evening, and then the emperor said that he would have dinner in the villa tonight."
