Chapter 358 Li Tai inspects Tuyuhun

Beijing.

Li Shimin looked at the memorial in front of him with a strange expression. He had already approved Lu Dongzan's marriage proposal before, but now it was canceled again. Li Shimin felt something was wrong in his heart. Of course, what he cared about was not the matter of his eldest grandson Pingting, but It's your own face.

The king of a country has already approved this matter, but you little bastard actually made it null and void for me. Then where should I put my face?

What's more, Li Shimin did not order the cancellation of this matter. I am afraid that this was Li Xiang's own initiative, which made Li Shimin feel a little unable to control it. Although Li Xiang did a good job this time, the entire Tubo Kingdom fell into chaos, but again Having said that, this also made Li Shimin feel uncomfortable.

Li Shimin was busy some time ago, and Wu Xing Qi Wang fell into various declines. If Li Shimin didn't move forward quickly at this time, he might not have such an opportunity in the future, so he left the Tubo affairs to Li Xiang. Now we see During these memorials, Li Shimin felt that he should take care of it. Now Li Xiang has become a bit of a master.

"Xuanling, you must be familiar with the things on the plateau. If another person takes over, how likely do you think it is to remain unchanged?"

Changsun Wuji has withdrawn from the circle of three people, and now Li Shimin can see it. Although Changsun Wuji is still on his side, he will also consider it for Li Xiang. If Changsun Wuji is allowed to continue here, that is It was difficult for him, so the core circle of the three people now became Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling is a smart man. Li Shimin will never speak without aim. If he says this now, it is obvious that he wants to touch Li Xiang. Of course, this is also normal. What Li Xiang did on the plateau is great. , this has already put pressure on Emperor Taizong. Once Li Xiang takes down Tubo again, he will be unstoppable.

If Li Shimin is now sixty or seventy years old and feels inadequate for government affairs, then there is no problem with Li Xiang's performance and he needs someone to take over. But now that Li Shimin is in his prime, his children and grandchildren don't need to take care of that much. things, and he is not willing to release these rights, so the things Li Xiang did are somewhat unsatisfactory.

Fang Xuanling was thinking about how to answer. The emperor's petty thought was wrong again, but then again, if he followed the emperor's words, if anything happened to the plateau, Li Xiang would have to go back. To clean up the mess, this kid is not an ordinary person. He will not do whatever you ask him to do. If he loses his temper then, it will be extremely detrimental to the entire Tang Dynasty.

According to Fang Xuanling's true thoughts, Li Xiang should be allowed to continue in Tubo. At present, only preliminary progress has been made. If you want to continue to weaken Tubo, no one is more suitable than Li Xiang. If it were replaced by As for others, if they don't understand Li Xiang's action steps, then good things will turn into bad things, and there will be no benefit except adding another enemy.

"To report to your Majesty, I believe that other than His Highness the Grand Sun, it may be difficult for anyone else to take over the affairs of Tubo."

After thinking for a long time, Fang Xuanling didn't know how to say it. Seeing Li Shimin's searching eyes, Fang Xuanling simply stopped trying to hide it. The monarchs and ministers have known each other for many years. As long as you are tempted, Li Shimin could tell it, so it would be better to tell it directly to save everyone the trouble.

Li Shimin naturally knew very well about his closest ministers. Fang Xuanling had solved so many problems for him over the years. His current answer was basically his final answer. In fact, Li Shimin was also afraid of changing. If something goes wrong later, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Shimin has always wanted to understand Tubo. The most important thing is to weaken Tubo. How can he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Li Shimin also understands this truth. There are Turks in the north and Tubo in the south. This is Li Shimin's biggest concern. Now Now that the Turks have been destroyed, the Tubo side still exists. If Li Xiang can continue to weaken them, Li Shimin will be happy to see it, but Li Xiang's majesty is getting higher and higher. , should I also become the Supreme Emperor?

"In that case, let that brat continue to stay there."

Li Shimin moved his mouth but did not say anything else. Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, it is for the entire empire. If it is just for the little things in your heart, Datang may lose this opportunity. .

Li Shimin thought of some other children and grandchildren in his mind, but in the end he shook his head helplessly. If there is a useful one, he can also train you people. He can not only serve as a whetstone for Li Xiang, but also Dispersing Li Xiang's energy would prevent him from unlimited expansion of his strength. Unfortunately, it was of little use. I originally thought that Wei King Li Tai would be useful, but now this guy has learned the lesson and enjoys it at home behind closed doors.

"Go and pass the order and let Wei King Li Tai inspect Tuyuhun."

Fang Xuanling was reading other memorials when Li Shimin suddenly said this. Wang De next to him hurried down to deliver the order. Although he didn't know what Li Shimin meant, the emperor's order must be implemented immediately, otherwise If so, it would be hard to talk about.

King Wei Li Tai has been quiet for a long time. Maybe he knows that he and Li Xiang are not on the same level, so he doesn't speak out about many things. The emperor is forcibly cultivating an opponent for Li Xiang!

Li Shimin also felt that what he was doing was a bit disgraceful, so he said that he was not feeling well and hurriedly went to the harem to rest, leaving Fang Xuanling here alone to handle official duties. Fang Xuanling was a capable person, so naturally he I won't criticize this matter. In the final analysis, it is still the emperor's family matter.

Besides, even if Li Tai goes to Tuyuhun, it is unlikely that there will be much commotion. What was the final result when Li Zhi and Li Xiang went on an expedition together? Li Zhi was treated obediently, but in the end he didn't even have a chance to receive credit. If Li Tai was smart and walked around the Tuyuhun grassland honestly, he would get all the filial piety he deserves. Don't say a word about things that shouldn't be taken care of, and then return to Chang'an comfortably.

Of course, this is what Fang Xuanling is thinking. As for what Li Tai will do, it probably depends on his not very flexible mind...
