Early the next morning, the peace in Chang 'an City was broken by Li Shiming's order.
Under normal circumstances, the court meeting did not require all officials to attend, but this time, Li Shimin's request was a little special. He required all officials of sufficient rank to attend.
This disrupted the rhythm of many people. For a time, Chang 'an City was crowded with carriages and horses.
"Brother Fuji!"
Outside the palace gate, Wei Zheng received the news and arrived at Chang 'an Palace early. He thought that he would be the first to arrive, but when he arrived at the door, he saw that Zhangsun Wuji was already preparing to enter.
"Brother Xuan Cheng!"
When Zhangsun Wuji heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Wei Zheng. He hurriedly cupped his hands.
After the two of them bowed to each other, they walked side by side.
"Brother Fuji, do you know the reason for His Majesty's court meeting today?”
Wei Zheng asked Zhangsun Wuji as he walked.
"This…"
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Wei Zheng. He didn't want to say it, but on second thought, he still spoke.
"It might be because of external matters."
"External affairs? Are we going to move again?"
Wei Zheng frowned when he heard the word 'external affairs'.
His combat strength continued to rise!
After the founding of the Great Tang, it had already mobilized its army several times!
Every time they mobilized troops, they would consume a huge amount of manpower and financial resources!
If they were to send troops this time, they would probably harm the foundation of the Great Tang!
Wei Zheng would never agree to this!
"This Old Wei is going to spit again…"
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng's state. Seeing that his eyes were staring straight and his neck was stiff, he knew that Old Wei was about to start scolding him!
In a while, the opening would probably be a big one!
"Ancestors, you have to help me this time! The Great Tang can't afford this!"
Not only did Wei Zheng want to gank him alone, but he also wanted to gank Zhangsun Wuji together!
Because he knew Li Shiming's ambition and stubbornness. If he didn't expand his territory, Li Shiming wouldn't give up!
" This…It's also very difficult for me…"
Zhangsun Wuji was also worried. In the eyes of discerning people, Li Shiming's multiple expeditions to Goguryeo were already a waste of manpower and resources!
However, Zhangsun Wuji wasn't Wei Zheng. He didn't want to fight to the death with Li Shiming!
"Why don't you drag Old Fang along?"
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't GANK, but he didn't feel any psychological burden selling out his teammates.
Old Fang's official position might not be as high as his, but Old Fang's family had two Fuma!
Especially that house repair kid, he was so wild!
If he could pull Old Fang along, Li Shiming would have to think twice before sending troops.
"Bring Xuan Ling along? Would he agree? He had been very close to the Emperor recently, and he even had a little secret.”
Wei Zheng gave him a knowing look, and Zhangsun Wuji immediately nodded.
"I feel that there should still be a chance. No matter how good Old Fang is at acting, he should at least have some face. This isn't a private matter, it's all for Great Tang.”
"Alright then."
Wei Zheng reluctantly agreed. The two of them stayed in the waiting area for a while, and the number of officials around them gradually increased.
When the court session was about to begin, Fang Xuanling rushed over.
"Old Fang, you're late."
Zhangsun Wuji greeted first.
"There are too many people.”
Fang Xuanling wiped his sweat and prepared to enter the main hall to wait for the court session to begin.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that the old master was about to leave, Wei Zheng quickly stopped him and asked directly.
"Xuanling, His Majesty might mention the matter of sending troops again in this court meeting. You know this, right?”
"Uh…I…I don't know…"
Fang Xuanling wanted to say that he knew. Today, he had encountered his youngest son, Fang Xiu's carriage on the road. As they were walking side by side, Fang Xiu stuck his head out and told him that His Majesty might be discussing the dispatch of troops today. He told him not to join the battle team and that he would be easily defeated by His Majesty.
Fang Xuanling naturally trusted his youngest son.
She wanted to say that she knew and immediately changed her words, but unfortunately, she did not change it very quickly.
“……”
“……”
Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji were speechless. Old Fang, your acting skills have dropped!
You're deliberately disgusting us!
"It doesn't matter if you know or not. I only want to ask you one thing. Are you going to stop His Majesty with me? As an important official of the court, you can't watch the Great Tang send troops year after year and shake the foundation of the country!”
Wei Zheng couldn't be bothered to care about this at this time. The most important thing was to get Old Fang to be an ally.
"This…I'm afraid not…"
Fang Xuanling thought of what the room xiu had said and hesitated for a moment before rejecting.
"You!"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he blew his beard and turned to leave.
Zhangsun Wuji rolled his eyes and pulled Ol 'Wei aside.
"Old Fang, do you know something? If you know something, you can't hide it again!”
"What did I hide this time? You can look for whoever you want!"
Fang Xuanling hated it the most when people mentioned this. When he heard this, he flung his hand angrily and walked straight into the main hall.
"This old fellow!"
Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji watched as Fang Xuanling left. They felt that this old man's acting skills were unpredictable!
"Milords, His Majesty has arrived. Please enter quickly.”
Seeing that Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were still not entering the hall, Chen Lin walked out helplessly and bowed.
