Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had received Li Erxin's decree, hurriedly returned.
Such a serious matter could not be delayed. Moreover, from the tone of His Majesty just now, it seemed that he attached great importance to the road construction.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to arrange the road construction properly first!
As soon as the two of them left, Wei Zheng hurriedly followed them out. He followed them with an embarrassed expression and was ready to go back.
The two of them glanced at Wei Zheng and felt a little uncomfortable.
Originally, this matter could have been discussed properly, but in the end, you had already rebuked His Majesty. Now, you've been rebuked until you're completely injured. Do you feel comfortable?
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he walked towards the two of them and said,"Old Fang, Old Du, do you know where His Majesty has been these past two days?”
Where did His Majesty go?
Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes and snorted."How would we know where His Majesty is going? I advise you, Old Wei, to stop. Didn't you see that His Majesty's mood hasn't been very stable these past two days? Be careful not to be kicked out again!”
Fang Xuanling couldn't be blamed for saying that. The truth was indeed so.
Sometimes, if Wei Zheng ran over and interfered in a perfectly good matter, it would most likely anger the Emperor to the point that his attitude would immediately change.
Du Ruhui also said earnestly," Old Wei, you should be more careful. His Majesty is usually busy with political affairs. He must have encountered something in the past two days. Don't get yourself into trouble."”
"It's fine if you hit it alone, but you also accidentally injured the few of us. Do you feel bad?”
Obviously, the two of them were rendered speechless by Li Er's question just now. They even had the thought of beating Wei Zheng up.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng looked embarrassed, but he shook his head."No, as an official and an imperial censor, I have to urge His Majesty to be diligent in government affairs. Even if His Majesty wants to beat me, I will accept it.”
"However, His Majesty seems to be different today. Could it be related to the fact that he has been out for the past two days?”
After muttering a few words, Wei Zheng shook his head and left alone.
However, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui heard his muttering and their hearts stirred.
They looked at each other, confusion flashing in their eyes.
"Could it be that Your Majesty met an expert and was guided by an expert?”
"The possibility is not small. Zhangsun Wuji, that old fox, clearly knows something, but he just wants to watch the show and doesn't say anything.”
"The old fox Zhangsun came back with His Majesty today. Could it be related to this matter?”
After guessing for a while, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui seemed to have grasped some clues, but they still couldn't figure it out.
However, the most important thing at the moment was to arrange for the Tibetan delegation to come to Tanghe to build roads.
……
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui fled.
In the royal study, Zhangsun Wuji chuckled and said,""Your Majesty, with this, the Imperial Censor should be able to rest for a few days.”
Li Er also nodded slightly.
This Wei Zheng was really addicted to scolding people. It was fine if he did not lower himself to his level usually.
Today, he had just happened to encounter this opportunity, so he had called this old fellow over. The result of using this topic to make a fuss was really happy.
Beside him, Li Jing saw that the Emperor seemed to be in a good mood and quickly stepped forward while the iron was hot."Your Majesty, may I know why you have called me here?”
Seeing Li Jing speak, Li Er turned to look at him and asked,""Apothecary, what have the Turks been doing at the borders of the Cloud Plane?”
The old enemies of the dynasties of the Central Plains had all come from the Turkic tribes of the northern steppe, and the Great Tang was no exception.
Ever since Li Er had taken office, he had engaged in countless wars with the Turks, and there were still small skirmishes in the border areas.
Not long ago, the Great Tang had ambushed the Turks in the Clouds Plains, and there had been no news of it recently.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Turks have been very peaceful recently, and the Jie tribes have also quieted down. I've already sent spies into the depths of the steppe, and there will be news in a few days.”
Li Jing said seriously.
The war in the north had always been led by Li Jing, with the two generals Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche guarding it.
"En, Jie Li is cunning and suspicious. We can't let our guard down just because we won the battle to prevent this old thing from playing tricks.”
"How's the arrangement for the recruitment? I heard that a batch of new recruits was recruited not long ago.”
There was no movement from the Turks for the time being, so Li Er asked about the soldiers.
Although the Great Tang was more powerful than the other factions, it had never had enough soldiers for its vast territory.
Fortunately, the Great Tang only had people coveting the west and north. The south and east were adjacent to the sea, so there was no problem for now.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the recruitment of soldiers and horses just ended half a month ago. A total of 100,000 new soldiers and horses have been mobilized from all over the country. They are currently training their soldiers and the results are not bad.”
Li Jing answered truthfully.
At present, the Great Tang had two hundred thousand soldiers stationed in Yunzhou, one hundred thousand in Liangzhou, and a scattered one hundred thousand in the southwest.
After Li Jing and Li Er had discussed this matter, they had decided to use this one hundred thousand soldiers as a reserve force to replenish their forces in case of emergencies.
"One hundred thousand soldiers, hmm, who is in charge of the training?”Li Er asked.
