Chapter 370 Winner, Loser

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Xun and Li Daozong's faces were tight, but it was difficult to find any rebuttal for a while.

The current situation was reversed, and the main faction fell behind in an instant!

Fang Xuanling also nodded helplessly and said, "According to what Situ said, everything is public to show fairness. Chu Suiliang and Qin Mubai, please count for both sides in public.

"Yes." The two answered and walked into the hall. The little official took two drawings and pasted them with white paper, so that Qin and Chu each wrote a stroke and began to prepare to count. Many officials below the third grade withdrew from the Hongwen Hall with afearance or ease or helplessness, looking at the appearance.

At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly called out: "Your Highness the King of Wei, Your Majesty has granted you the power to participate in politics. As a prince of Yipin, you have quite the right to vote. Why do you want to leave?"

Li Tai's fat body was slightly stunned, turned around and arched his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Wang... Just stay and vote!"

Changsun Wuji and Qin Mubai glanced at him at the same time, and snorted disdainfully at the same time.

"Okay, let's start now!" Changsun Wuji got up and came out and said, "Let's start first. If you oppose Lanzhou's war, stand in the left column. If you support the battle, stand in the right column. Lord, please!"

The remaining about 30 or 40 people began to move one after another. Except for Li Xun, Li Daozong, Fang Xuanling and a few other people who stood firmly in the main battle, most of them, including many generals of the 16th Guards, hesitated for a long time and could not move. Many officials from the three provinces and six departments stood behind Changsun Wuji in dismay. Many people shrugged their heads as if they had been caught at the scene.

"What the hell, voting again? Why doesn't anyone call me Laohei? - Cheng Laoyao, why don't you come in!" Yu Chi Jingde roared and pulled Cheng Zhijie in and stood behind Li Daozong. At a glance, he suddenly became angry: "What's the matter? It was half to half before, and now there are only five people left in the main battle?"

Qin Mubai's face darkened. He held the pen and stroked five strokes on the white paper.

A smile appeared on Changsun Wuji's face and said, "After all, it's hard to go against everyone's wishes!" It makes some sense that the absolute majority of people in the center of the Tang Dynasty are opposed to fighting. Xuanling, prince, Duke Mao, you have nothing to say now, right?

Fang Xuanling nodded gently: "Mr. Fang has said before that my words only represent my opinion."

Li Xun smiled shallowly and hugged his fists and said, "It seems that the overall situation has been decided. Li Xun said goodbye!"

"You won." Li Daozong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Changsun Wuji. He stroked his sleeves, raised his feet and left.

"Hey! What kind of bird is this? I don't agree! Hey...Your Majesty, Mr. Mao, don't go!" Yu Chi Jingde shouted in a hurry.

Qin Mubai took a deep breath and his hands were a little cold. He slowly put down his pen, took a breath and arched his hand to Changsun Wuji, and said, "Situ, everything is subject to your majesty and the court. There is nothing more to say. Say goodbye!"

At this time, the corners of Qin Mubai's eyes caught a glimpse of Li Tai standing in the Lord and the faction with his neck, and deliberately let the people in front of him close to him as if he wanted to cover his fat body.

Qin Mubai walked out with his head held high and his chest straight. When he passed by Li Tai, he smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness the King of Wei feels cold and cold?"

"Well, this... is a little, a little!" Li Tai smiled awkwardly, his eyes fluttered, and his face turned red and white.

"Your Highness, take care!" Qin Mubai smiled and arched his hand at him, raised his feet and walked out.

Qin Mubai, Li Xun and Li Daozong almost came out side by side. As soon as they got to the door, they were suddenly stunned and widened their eyes.

"What are you doing? Do you want to line up to buy rice or noodles? When did the workshop open in the Hongwen Museum? Cough...cough!"

This voice can't be more familiar to the people present!!

"Your Majesty!! ... Long live my emperor!!"

Kneel down inside and outside the Hongwen Hall!

Li Shimin, with a pale face and deep eyes, wearing a thick Qiu hand pole crutches, Li Zhi, the king of Jin on the left and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang on the right, held him together.

Stand up and look like an eagle!

"I'm not dead yet!" Li Shimin shouted in a low voice, glanced at the heads of the ministers who knelt in front of him, paused for a moment, and said, "The central cabinet in the court is making a lot of trouble for a little thing. What kind of line are you doing? What kind of circle do you do? What do you do? Do children play at home? Why don't you carry a few baskets of mud in and have fun? Cough...cough!"

Everyone is speechless.

Changsun Wuji crawled on the ground and said cowardly, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!" It's Weichen who can't make your majesty worry. Weichen deserves to die!"

"I won't do your business. It's not easy for you anymore." Li Shimin said this lightly. Li Zhi and Li Mingda walked in with him, and their crutches stopped on the ground and made a sound.

His footsteps stopped in front of the king of Wei.

"Tai'er, I just seem to have heard that you feel cold. Since you are not feeling well, go back to rest early! Don't miss the disease." Li Shimin said indifferently.

Li Tai was panicked and his fat trembled all over. He looked up at Li Shimin in surprise, but met a pair of gloomy eyes.

Li Tai's heart slowly sank, and his hands and feet were a little stiff.

"Didn't you hear what I said, or are you too sick to wait for someone to help me?" Li Shimin still said indifferently.

"My son... I'm going now." Li Tai got up with difficulty and moved out step by step. When he went out, he slowly turned his head and only saw Li Shimin's mysterious back. In his eyes, there was a little despair.

At this time, many people couldn't help but have an idea: Is it possible for Li Tai to step into the Hongwen Museum again?!

"Get up! ...Child slave, son, help me sit down." Li Shimin said.

When he sat down, the ministers still stood up, and Li Shimin called out the officials standing outside the door again. Zuo Wenyouwu lined up in two rows, just like when he went to the court.

Li Zhi stood quietly beside Li Shimin with his head down, not squinting and did not dare to come out. The young Li Mingda snuggled up to Li Shimin's shoulder and gently pounded his shoulder. In a pair of immature but wise eyes, there was a vivid aura shining. Her eyes unconsciously fell on Qin Mubai, and suddenly a pair of small tiger teeth appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she smiled very sweetly.

Her small action fell into the eyes of many people. Suddenly, many people speculated in their hearts: Did the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang run to the emperor and bring him here?

"I've been thinking about the Lanzhou war and peace for a long time. It's been a day or two." Li Shimin said, "To be honest, I don't blame you. It is normal for the government and the opposition to disagree on this matter. If there is no difference, it is not normal. I am also a little hesitant. Whether it is judged from the present or analyzed from the long run, there are the benefits of war and the truth of peace. However, this matter can no longer be delayed. The war situation is urgent, and the situation on the front line is changing rapidly. We are discussing in the court, which is far less rapid than the situation in the frontier. Therefore, no matter how we discuss it, it is difficult to get a definite result. Therefore, I have to be arbitrary today - my will is to do both. First, send envoys to the front line of Lanzhou to discuss the marriage with the generals of Tibet. But the premise is that Tubo must give up the cut-cut Datang Silk Road and completely withdraw its troops from the territory of our Tang Dynasty. If it is successful, we will discuss the consultation in detail; if not, we can also strive for the time to prepare for the war; Second, Lanzhou must not slack off at all. We must prepare for the worst and prepare for the death with Tibet, and do not rule out the use of force to dredge the Silk Road to pact down Gaochang. Wait, what do you think?

"My emperor is holy!"

Who can have something to say about such an opinion?

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Xuanling, I know you are seriously ill. But at this moment, in an extraordinary period, the arrangement of military and state affairs is still inseparable from you! I ordered you to deploy troops to Lanzhou.

"Weichen obeys the order!" Fang Xuanling knelt down and put his head on the ground. His voice trembled and excited. He said, "I'm dead!"

"Xuan Ling, why do you want to die? I would rather return to heaven than the Tang Dynasty without a good minister like you who is loyal to the country!" Li Shimin said sincerely.

Fang Xuanling suddenly burst into tears and couldn't stand himself.

"Auxiliary machine." Li Shimin called again.

"Weichen is here." Changsun Wuji stood up.

"The envoy to Lanzhou to Tubo is arranged by you. In addition, in order to show sincerity, the dowry that should be prepared for Princess Wencheng should also be prepared. As soon as possible, the better. Go to Lanzhou with the messenger. Li Shimin said, "You are responsible for this matter."

"Weichen takes the order."

Li Shimin paused for a moment, turned his eyes to the back of the team, narrowed his eyes slightly, and called out, "Qin Mubai."

"Weichen is there!" Qin Mubai stood up and stood with his fists in his arms. Because of excitement, his hands trembled slightly.

"Go to Lanzhou!" Li Shimin stood up and picked up the crutch. Li Zhi and Li Mingda helped him forward and walked to Qin Mubai.

"Weichen - obey the order!" Qin Mubai answered loudly.

"Do whatever you need to do according to the situation, time and situation. Among other things, Lanzhou should not be messed up or lost; past efforts should not be wasted. Li Shimin looked at Qin Mubai and sighed lightly. He didn't know whether he sighed or breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Remember, I owe you a wedding."

"Your Majesty..." Qin Mubai was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder in front of the court and opposition ministers, smiled slightly and said, "Try your father that he didn't let me down. He has worked hard. When he returns to court, I will personally get him drunk and throw him on the street to let the people in Chang'an see jokes. Just like the scene when we hit Luoyang.

"Weichen, remember." Qin Mubai lowered his head, arched his hand, and answered softly.

"You, don't let me down again... Cough, cough..."

"Congratulations to my emperor... Long live, long live, long live!"

Li Shimin's cough gradually faded away.

A war without gunpowder smoke, but the dust has settled.

Who is the winner and who is the loser? ...Still not clear.

Maybe, another war has just begun...
