Your Majesty, the Tubo Army Has Raised
"With your talent, it would be a waste of talent if you don't become an official. Just now, your idea of dividing power and balancing power really opened my eyes.”
Li Shi Min sighed.
Although he knew that he wouldn't use the separation of powers, he could use some of the ideas from it.
His impression of Chu Wen had improved.
First, it was the imperial examination, then the Tubo marriage, and then the separation of powers.
It had to be said that in this young man's mind.
It was quite good.
He wasn't like those boastful scholars who sat down and discussed the Dao.
Not to mention anything else, just Chu Wen's insight and depth of thinking were a few streets ahead of ordinary people.
Chu Wen nodded slightly.
He knew that Li Shimin would not accept it.
However, he did not care about that.
Just take it as bragging.
After all, no matter how open the Great Tang was, it was still a feudal era.
You want a feudal monarch to immediately change the system and implement a voting system.
Wasn't this forcing him?
If it really happened, it would probably be a state of warlords.
And Li Shimin would most likely be taken over.
Therefore, this matter was just to satisfy his mouth.
The only thing he cared about was business.
Li Shi Min's attitude was clear.
Since he had achieved his goal, he was ready to leave.
Originally, he wanted to get a waist seal with Li Shimin's recommendation.
However, the wish was beautiful, but reality was hard.
Although Li Shiming was speaking to him cheerfully, as the emperor, he was very particular about his words and actions in front of the people.
He definitely wouldn't write a recommendation for a novel.
He didn't want the people to say that his style wasn't high.
Even if he really wanted to recommend it, he would have to recommend Confucius and Mencius.
Moreover, the beginning of Romance of the Three Kingdoms encouraged division. It was a knife to the heart.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps at the door.
There seemed to be quite a few people.
Then, the eunuch's voice sounded,""Lord Fang, Lord Du, and Lord Li request an audience.”
Chu Wen's heart jumped.
Lord Li?
Could it be that his father-in-law had come?
As expected, Li Daozong appeared at the door in the next moment.
Seeing Chu Wen, Li Daozong couldn't help but be stunned.
What was going on?
However, he didn't dare to ask at this moment.
Li Shi Min waved his hand and let them in.
Chu Wen was about to say goodbye when he was interrupted.
The ones who entered were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two assistant ministers, as well as Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites.
This lineup was quite luxurious.
Chu Wen sized up Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
However, he was thinking in his heart, why was such a famous person not eye-catching at all?
If he was thrown into a crowd, he wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.
They were two old men.
"Dear ministers, why are you in such a hurry?”
He looked at the three of them and noticed that something was wrong.
Li Shi Min asked.
Just now, when he was talking to Chu Wen, he had the same expression.
At this moment, he was talking to a few of his trusted ministers in a completely different manner.
He immediately switched from amiable to dignified.
Although there was still a peaceful smile on his face, his eyes were bright and sharp.
His eyes would occasionally open and close, bursting with a bright light.
It gave off a dignified feeling.
Chu Wen watched from the side and could not help but be speechless.
Her acting skills were really amazing.
His expression changed too quickly.
It seemed that being an emperor was quite tiring.
He couldn't associate Li Shi Min with the Li Shi Min he was chatting with.
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he heard Fang Xuanling's voice.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. The military situation was urgent, so we came in a hurry. Because we refused the marriage alliance, Tubo sent troops to attack the Great Tang. This news was urgent, so we didn't dare to delay.”
Li Shi Min frowned.
Anger could not help but appear on his face.
"What do you think of this matter?" he asked slowly.”
Fang Xuanling and the others fell silent.
Li Shi Min said,"It's fine to say it. I forgive you for offending me. Feel free to speak freely."”
At this moment, Du Ruhui said,"
"This subject believes that if the Great Tang uses all its strength to attack Tubo, it will be a piece of cake, but there are some problems. If the Tibetans join forces with other factions or the Turks rise from the ashes, our Great Tang will be faced with enemies from both sides. The situation will be dire.”
Du Ruhui had always been a conservative.
Therefore, his opinion was naturally more conservative.
Li Shi Min remained silent.
"Lord Du is right. Two years ago, the Great Tang spent countless resources to subdue the Turks." However, the hearts of the Outsiders could change at any time. And the Great Tang's national strength could not afford to be dragged down.”
"I don't think so. Tubo is just a tiny place, and we don't need the Great Tang's army to wipe them out. Moreover, the Tibetans are betting that our Great Tang won't go to war, so we're going to do the opposite and deal them a heavy blow.”
Li Daozong said in a deep voice.
For a time, there were different opinions.
Li Shi Min said," Your Highness, what you said makes sense. I think so too. With the current situation, we can't negotiate peace. We can only fight!" The key question is, how do we fight?"
Fang Xuanling and the others fell into deep thought.
Chu Wen stood at the side.
He looked at everyone's discussion with great interest, as if nothing had happened.
He even sighed in his heart.
Why were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui so cowardly?
He had never been so cowardly when he had been helping Li Shiming plan the Black Tortoise Gate rebellion.
Even though he had become Zaifu, his position was different and the problems he considered were different.
However, being conservative was one thing.
Now that a little wimp had whipped you, what were you still acting like?
Do it!
Li Shi Min's attitude just now also meant this.
It was directly confirmed that they had to go out.
That's more like it.
After a moment of silence, Du Ruhui said,""This trip to Tubo is a long and difficult one, so it's extremely inconvenient to transport rations. We'll have to get the Bureau of Military Personnel to come up with a plan.”
"That's right. Only by knowing the enemy and thinking about it can we win a hundred battles.”
Fang Xuanling also agreed.
The few of them were in a heated discussion and did not notice Chu Wen at all.
Chu Wen was happy to do so.
He was willing to be invisible.
After some discussion, the issue of rations was basically settled and handed over to the Ministry of War.
Chu Wen was bored to death and had no interest in this at all.
Initially, he was quite expectant of these big shots, thinking that they were all heroes of the current era.
However, looking at the way they were chatting, it seemed to be a little lower than expected.
It was a very simple question. Why did it have to be so complicated every time?
He was about to yawn.
