"Right Prime Minister, why is the emperor summoned him suddenly?" Chen Xilie, the assistant minister, followed behind Li Linfu and asked carefully.

Chen Xilie is the best candidate for the left prime minister that Li Linfu likes. Chen Xilie's best lies in how strong he is. This is the least important thing. What is important is Chen Xilie's follower, following his Li Linfu's thoughts, and following his Li Linfu's pace. For example, now, since he entered the East Shang Pavilion Gate, he has followed him closely. Li Linfu likes his attitude.

"I don't know what happened. The emperor suddenly summoned everyone. It's probably a military and national event!"

"I understand, I will support the Prime Minister."

Li Linfu smiled slightly and walked into Zichen Palace quickly.

Zichen Hall is the third hall of the Daming Palace and the main hall of the Daming Palace. The emperor's daily discussions are mostly in this hall, so it is also called the Emperor's Palace. At this moment, several prime ministers from the Tang Dynasty entered one after another from the entrance of the Dongshang Pavilion Gate.

The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was not one person, but a number of people. After obtaining the qualification to ping Zhangshi, he could enter the Zhengshi Hall to discuss politics, and was called the Prime Minister. Among them, the Minister of the Central Secretariat was the right prime minister and the head of the prime minister. The prime ministers who attended today's meeting were the Right Prime Minister Li Linfu, the Minister of War Xiao Song, the Minister of Rites Xi Yu, the Minister of Works Lu Jingrong, and the Minister of Works Chen Xilie. There was another person, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Yun, but he happened to go to Henan for inspection and was not in the capital.

Everyone sat down in their respective seats, whispered, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

"The emperor is here!" The guard shouted loudly, and everyone immediately stood up.

I saw a team of palace maids and eunuchs walking through the side door next to the main position, standing on the jade steps. After a moment, the Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty quickly walked in surrounded by dozens of guards. It has been forty-five years since he ascended the throne in Kaiyuan. After a hundred years of accumulation, the Tang Dynasty has entered the Kaiyuan prosperity in Li Longji's hands. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has reached its peak. While being proud, Li Longji was also a little tired. Seeing that his life was not much more than a year, Li Longji's mind gradually left the boring and cumbersome court affairs, and together with his concubine, he was immersed in the singing and dancing in the pear garden.

However, at this time, Li Longji did not completely ignore the government affairs. He handled all the trivial matters by the prime minister and the eunuch, but military and national affairs must be decided by him.

Moreover, Li Longji, a high-ranking leader in the Tang Dynasty, had never been confused. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, he killed Prince Ying, deposed Zhang Jiuling, and wiped out a major threat to his throne. However, he also saw that Li Linfu intended to regard the Eighteenth son Mao as the new crown prince. How could he allow the prince to collude with the prime minister? Although he had promised before Concubine Hui died, he still made the third son Li Heng as the crown prince without hesitation, and really played with everyone for a while, making Li Linfu deeply afraid of him, which was what he hoped.

Li Longji was majestic and very grand. When he was holding his hands, he was like a tall pine and cypress tree, which looked extraordinary. He was famous for his heroic spirit when he was young. Although he was over 60 years old, the years not only did not bring him aging, but instead added mature charm and majesty.

Today is not a festival, so he did not wear a big fur, but came in a regular suit.

"I will meet His Majesty the Emperor, and I wish you long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Dear friends are free to give me a favor, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone returned to their seats and sat down. Li Longji coughed lightly and said to everyone: "Today I temporarily summon all my dear friends to come here to decide whether my Tang Dynasty sent troops to Xiao Bolu."

Li Longji used the word "decision", which means he has matured. He glanced at Li Linfu and said, "Right Prime Minister, tell me!"

The reason why he made Li Linfu the prime minister for ten years was that Li Linfu was good at judging his thoughts, but more importantly, Li Linfu had extraordinary talents. This talent was not the ability to recite poems and essays, but the talent for handling government affairs. Almost all the cumbersome things in the Tang Empire were collected on the desks of the prime minister. However, Li Linfu was able to handle everything in an orderly manner, with cautious and strict rules, which made Li Longji, who no longer wanted to ask about small matters.

Moreover, even if it is a military and national event, Li Linfu is clear about it. Unlike Zhang Jiuling who likes to oppose and refute his own opinions, Li Linfu will start from his own perspective and raise more details that he has not considered thoroughly, so that his plan will be more mature. This is a distant but not blocked attitude that Li Longji decided to appoint Li Linfu as prime minister for a long time.

Although he did not notify him in advance today, he knew that Li Linfu would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.

Li Linfu stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Bolu's confidant has been in trouble since the early Kaiyuan. Tubo's control of Xiao Bolu not only destroyed the interests of the Tang Dynasty in Tochar and blocked the Silk Road, but also the heavy troops stationed in Xiao Bolu, as if a knife was pressed under Anxi's belly, seriously threatening Anxi's safety. As the great captain of Anxi, I firmly support the emperor to use troops to Xiao Bolu."

Li Longji nodded. Li Linfu said it very well, but the heat was not enough. Their remarks today were to be copied into miscellaneous newspapers and circulated through the ministers. Without sufficient persuasion, his wisdom in making decisions could not be shown, and he still needed more powerful arguments.

"The right prime minister said it is right. Xiao Bolu's Tubo not only looked at Anxi, but also provoked the relationship between Tuqi and the Tang Dynasty, which eventually caused our Tang Dynasty to lose the barrier to resist the eastward expansion of the Great Food. It is actually a cancer in the Western Regions of our Tang Dynasty. Half a year ago, Gao Xianzhi wrote a letter twice to demand the troops to attack Xiao Bolu. I was a little hesitant. After all, the Tang army had been defeated three times in Xiao Bolu. I am worried that it would seriously affect the morale of the army. But after thinking about it, I decided to use troops to Xiao Bolu. Today I would like to ask all my dear friends, do you have any objections?"

The hall was silent. Xi Yu and Lu Jingrong were already in aging and were about to be buried. Their thinking could not keep up with the emperor's talent and strategy. Xiao Song was not familiar with the situation in the Western Regions and could not express his opinions. Chen Xilie was even more indifferent to Li Linfu's leadership. Li Linfu refused to let him speak. His mouth was like a thread sewing. Everyone looked at Li Linfu, waiting for his opinion.

Li Linfu understood it and stood up again and said generously: "Have a thousand days of raising troops and using troops for a while. Why do you worry about the Anxi army? The Anxi army has been preparing for a few years, and it is this day. Moreover, the army of Shule has reclaimed land and raised tens of thousands of horses. It can be said that the soldiers are good and the food is enough. This is the time of heaven. After being severely injured by our Tang Dynasty in the 18th year of Kaiyuan, the Tuqi Shi people were no longer able to invade Anxi. The Tang army can go south and conquer Xiaobolu without any worries. This is the advantage of the territory. In addition, there are many talents in Anxi army. Meng Lingcha's treasure sword is not old. Gao Xianzhi is a talented general with a strong general. He is more powerful than before. This is the harmony of people. The right time, place and people are all in harmony. Why worry about not winning this battle? Your Majesty, let's decide!"

Li Linfu's words finally made Li Longji make up his mind, "Okay! Pass on my will, and grant Gao Xianzhi the title of the governor of the four town camps, and lead the Anxi army to fight against Xiaobolu."

In just one short sentence, Li Linfu suddenly heard the implicit meaning, and the emperor did not mention Fu Meng Lingcha at all.
