Chapter 169 National Mobilization

"What kind of evil idea does this little brat have? Let me see."

When Li Shimin talked about Li Xiang, his eyes were filled with light. Everyone saw this scene. If nothing goes wrong, Li Xiang is now the person closest to that position. You must know this. The boy is only fourteen years old now, and his future is unlimited.

The most important thing is that not only Li Shimin thinks this way, but other ministers also want to know what is written in this letter. They unconsciously have an idea, that is, His Highness the Emperor Changsun's ideas are unconstrained and unreasonable, and they are always against me. Datang is extremely beneficial and can bring us some freshness.

"This boy has really plotted against everyone. Even a young man doesn't know how his brain grows. Fortunately, he is my grandson, otherwise I would have ordered him to be locked up."

After Li Shimin read the above content, he immediately handed the letter to Fang Xuanling. Because Changsun Wuji used to be responsible for detailed work across the country, Li Xiang sent this letter to Changsun Wuji.

"The emperor has indeed found the right person when he asked His Highness the Emperor Changsun to be in charge of the Imperial City Department. Although His Highness Changsun did not give any guidance on the work of the Imperial City Department, based on some of the contents of this letter, I conclude that he will I will definitely be able to do well.”

After Fang Xuanling said this, the people present were even more surprised. You must know that Fang Xuanling is different from others. No matter how noble your status is, even the former prince Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling are not like others. He will praise you without conscience. If you are capable, you are capable. If you are not capable, he will stay away from you. This temperament is something Li Shimin admires. To be able to praise Li Xiang in such language at this moment is indeed a record.

Others quickly took Li Xiang's letter to see what was written on it.

The main content is that during the negotiations, we hope that the imperial court will provide some assistance. The first step is to conduct a survey of the government soldiers across the country, count the number of government soldiers in various places, and strengthen the training of government soldiers in various places.

All in all, it is necessary to make a gesture, that is, the Tang Dynasty is about to use troops abroad, and the scale of foreign troops is not small. Otherwise, there is no need to conduct an inventory of soldiers across the country, and at the same time, we have to find a few moths. Come, especially those who drink the blood of soldiers, behead them directly.

The second step is to conduct a comprehensive training of the troops around Chang'an City. Whether they are the emperor's personal troops or ordinary city guards, they must conduct high-intensity training outside the city for half a month. The people of the entire Chang'an City must be trained. Knowing that these people may soon be transferred to the southwest front to fully capture Tuyuhun.

The third item is to conduct a census of the country's granaries, thoroughly check how much grain is left, and order a large number of carriages in various places, spread the news, and transfer all the grain to the southwest front.

At the same time, rumors are to be spread in the Jiangnan area that the court's taxes will be increased by 20% next year in order to fight this big war.

Above the court, generals at all levels should speak freely, formulate various strategies against Tuyuhun, and frequently exchange letters with frontline generals, letting everyone know at a glance that the court is determined to destroy Tuyuhun. Although negotiations are ongoing, the court's original intention remains unchanged.

The last one is that the court will issue a mobilization order, and all men of school age should be prepared. Although the court has not yet recruited soldiers, it should also let all men of school age know about this matter, as they may be drafted into the army at any time.

"What do you think of what this brat said?"

When Li Shimin spoke, everyone could see very clearly that the emperor was clearly showing off. Your grandson is indeed very good, but there is no need to be so arrogant, right?

The ministers all nodded. Although they were unconvinced, they could not find anyone who could compete with Li Xiang after searching through their children and grandchildren. From the original Pinggaoli Ce to the later Southwest War, Coupled with this letter, from all aspects, this kid has indeed outperformed many people.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

At this point, what else can you say? We can only bow down and congratulate the emperor honestly. Although no one says that Li Xiang is a suitable successor, does it still need to be said? We are all human beings, and we already know this by heart. Haven't you seen that the emperor's mouth is about to burst when he smiles?

"Pass the message and let Li Xiang be the deputy envoy for this negotiation. He will use the seal for me after the negotiation is successful."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, there was a deathly silence. It didn't matter if Li Xiang was the deputy negotiator. After all, as long as the negotiations started, many people could have one name. This was also a method often used by the imperial court. After all, the cake Everyone has to benefit from it, let alone the emperor's eldest grandson. It's nothing to take a share of the credit, but if you use the seal for the emperor, this statement will be big.

Normally, if the two countries conclude a treaty, it should be sealed by the emperor himself. However, it is impossible for the emperor to come to the front line in person, so he will send the prince, or other important members of the royal family. The emperor and grandson obviously have some shortcomings at this time. After all, it’s one level lower.

What's more, there is a prince on the front line at the moment. Although he is the ninth eldest, he is also the direct descendant of the eldest grandson of the empress. In terms of qualifications, he is indeed more qualified than Li Xiang. Although Li Xiang is the emperor's eldest grandson, he is not the emperor's grandson.

Everyone was a little sympathetic to Jin Wang Li Zhi at this moment. He was obviously the prince of the imperial court and the direct descendant of Empress Changsun. This time he went with the army like Li Xiang. There was no splash at all, as if he had not participated.

That's all. When it came to the final negotiation, not even a deputy negotiator was involved, and you were not given a chance to take credit. The most important thing is that when the emperor used the seal in the end, he had nothing to do with you. You What are you doing at the front line?

"You all should go back too. You have been busy here today. All levels of yamen will step up their deployment after returning. It is best to let their detailed work see that we are going to fight Tuyuhun to the end tomorrow."

Li Shimin also knew that this matter had to be done quickly. If there was no speed, then there would be no way to support the front line. These people present were also people who did practical things. He left the emperor immediately and set out the arrangements immediately after returning. The entire Tang Dynasty must be mobilized within one day, so that the craftsmen of Tuyuhun can see clearly that we are going to fight a big war.
