The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Yes, Pei Ji has the right to arrange people." Changsun Wuji said: "And Pei Ji will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, so it's right to keep an eye on him."

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yongjia Rebellion, the people moved south, and it took two hundred years for the Central Plains to be reunified.

The Tang Dynasty must never follow in this footsteps.

Li Fu never knew that there was such a controversy as moving the capital in the early Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng, the prince, actually agreed with Li Yuan and agreed to move the capital.

Li Shimin's coup to seize the throne really extended the life of the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Fu again, and his eyes were different from before.

He agreed with the words of King Qin. This King of Jingyang really didn't look like he grew up in the countryside. He was really knowledgeable and talented.

At least, his vision was longer-term than those officials in the East Palace, and he looked at things more clearly.

Such people are rare.

"But, would Pei Ji be so stupid? When the capital is about to be moved, he would take advantage of it."

"Not in public, but in secret, he would definitely do it." Changsun Wuji said.

The whole Qin Wangfu is at odds with Pei Ji. Liu Wenjing's death was caused by Pei Ji, the old thief.

Liu Wenjing is someone the Qin Wang relies on.

"Tomorrow's court meeting! I will go and ask in person! Let's hear what they say!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Moving the capital would ruin their Li Tang foundation!

"But there must be enough reasons to convince Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling said.

"What's the use of talking? In my opinion, we should fight!" Cheng Yaojin said, "Real fighting is the most useful."

"We must fight, but it is more important to show our attitude." Li Fu smiled and said, "After all, we want His Majesty to change his mind. Therefore, we must speak nicely. First, we can persuade the ministers and His Majesty, and second, we can win a good reputation for my second brother."

"But there must be a way to deal with the Eighteen Departments." Fang Xuanling said, "Otherwise, if the words are spread, it will be difficult to explain if we can't win the war."

Attitude is attitude, but we can't really have nothing to show.

"We'll see then. If His Majesty doesn't change his mind about moving the capital, I won't be at peace!" Li Shimin said.

Because Li Shimin wanted to persuade Li Yuan to change his mind, there was no need to continue today's meeting, and Li Fu left the Qin Palace.

After he left, the officials of the Qin Palace did not disperse, but discussed about Li Fu.

"Assistant, what do you think about the King of Jingyang now?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"This man is talented." Changsun Wuji said, "And after today, he will be on the side of the King of Qin."

"Opposing the relocation of the capital is considered to be an enemy of the prince." Du Ruhui said, "However, relocation of the capital is not a good thing for him. His fiefdom is in Jingyang County."

"He has a long-term vision and interests involved. Moreover, he is also involved in this march and war." Changsun Wuji said, "So, he must stand on the side of the King of Qin. In addition, doesn't he also look down on the short-sightedness of the prince? This is a good thing. In this way, when we go out to fight, we don't have to worry about the marching commander having any other thoughts. Winning this battle is the common goal."

The most suspicious Changsun Wuji was relieved about Li Fu.

As long as it is for the good of the King of Qin's Mansion, it is the best.

The next morning, Xiao Yu stood up in the hall and opposed the prince and Pei Ji's plan to relocate the capital.

"The court has moved away, what about the people? What should the people do?"

"The court will naturally not ignore the people. We will leave a strong army to cover the retreat and protect the people." Li Jiancheng said.

"Strong army? If there is such an army now, why not defend Chang'an City now? If there is no such army now, where will such an army come from in the future?" Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu is a straightforward person. He doesn't care whether you are the prince or not. This decision is obviously to ignore the people. The court left first, and the Turks came after. What will happen to the people under the iron hoof of the Turks?

A court that can't even protect the people, then what is the use of this court? !

"I also know that this decision is a loss for the Tang Dynasty, but now, it can only be like this." Li Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

"Your Majesty, we will first attack the court, then the government, then the people, and finally the army. In this way, we can intercept the eighteen tribes of the grassland." Pei Ji said.

Pei Ji knew that the King of Qin was leading the army to fight against the Turks, but he still made such arrangements. This was clearly to trap the King of Qin to death.

Once the court left, the King of Qin would be alone in the front.

That isEven if there was Li Jing from Puzhou, Li Jing only had 5,000 men, and it seemed that he had no chance of winning against the Turkish cavalry.

The Turks were too flexible, able to fight and run, and the number of Tang cavalry was small, and it was impossible to fight against them with just infantry.

"The King of Qin is here~~"

The eunuch outside the palace announced loudly.

Li Shimin came to the palace in armor, and after entering and saluting, he directly spoke out against moving the capital.

"Your Majesty, we must not move the capital. I think that the Tang Dynasty has a complete defense line from Longyou to Guanzhong, and then to Hedong and Hebei. Chang'an is the most important part of the Guanzhong defense line. Abandoning Chang'an is equivalent to abandoning Guanzhong. This area will no longer be able to prevent the ravages of the grassland cavalry.

Secondly, if the court moves the capital, the people will be unstable and the people will rush to move south. The chaos of the late Western Jin Dynasty will definitely reappear. The army will be in the rear and the army will be unstable. The grassland cavalry will chase and slaughter the people, and the army will find it difficult to resist.

Third, Confucius said that governing a country depends on sufficient soldiers, sufficient food, and the trust of the people. The trust of the people is the most important. If the people do not trust, the country will not stand. Moving the capital is equivalent to abandoning the people. How can the court win the trust of the people?"

The words of the King of Qin were reasonable and well-founded. Many court officials agreed with him, especially Xiao Yu, who looked at Li Shimin with admiration. At the same time, his disappointment in the prince increased a little more.

Li Shimin took the lead, and the officials in the court echoed him. In addition, Li Shimin vowed to lead troops to resist the Turks, which eventually changed Li Yuan's decision.

The matter of moving the capital was abandoned.

Back to the Qin Palace, they also had to discuss how to deal with the invasion of the eighteen tribes of the grassland.

The worries have been solved, and they have to concentrate on dealing with the war.

Li Fu was waiting for news at home. Although he knew that Chang'an would not be abandoned, the process of the game must be dangerous.

It is said that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Li Fu wanted to help Li Shimin deal with the Turks, and it was not for his own consideration.

After all, Li Yuan said that Jingyang County was the territory facing the Turkic army.
