Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Li Shimin felt agitated for no reason when he thought that Changsun Wuji openly supported him but secretly spared no effort to oppose him.

Looking at Fang Xuanling, he said:

"Xuanling, when you see Zhijie later, ask him carefully for me whether he is from Prince Qin's palace anymore. If he doesn't want to admit it or continues to play tricks, then I won't care about him anymore. It’s an old relationship.”

I know that His Majesty the Emperor is in a hurry.

After all, the [-]-strong army has already been assembled. If we don't go all out and send troops as soon as possible, if something unexpected happens during this period, no one can say for sure.

What's more, no one can tell what the situation is in Henan Road today. The person who knows the situation best is Cheng Yaojin, who just returned from Henan Road.

As long as his mouth is pried open, the imperial court will not only have a legitimate reason to send troops to attack him, but also be able to deploy and allocate troops according to the opponent's strength.

But thinking of Cheng Yaojin's current situation and the concerns in his heart, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, Zhijie is in a very bad situation right now, and it is inevitable that he will have concerns in his heart. I hope that Your Majesty will be able to carry out your will. If Zhijie has made a contribution this time, I hope that he can forget the past."

Li Shimin glanced at Guan Guan in confusion, and then realized Cheng Yaojin's concerns, so he directly wrote a handwritten edict and handed it over:

"When you go to see Cheng Yaojin, give this to him directly, and then tell him that if I can successfully send troops this time, the day when the commander returns to the court will be the moment for him to regain his glory."

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling was overjoyed and immediately gave Cheng Yaojin a big gift for Li Shimin:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let Zhijie lose His Majesty's love this time."

At the same time, in Chang'an City, the news of Cheng Yaojin's return was once again spread by "interested people".

When the people heard that His Majesty the Emperor was confronting the civil and military officials at the Zhuque Gate, they couldn't help but murmur.

Although there were rumors before that the emperor and the officials were at odds, it was all just speculation, but now, someone has seen it with their own eyes.

As a result, Li Shimin's unintentional move aroused the endless imagination of the people of Chang'an.

When Fang Xuanling met Cheng Yaojin, she told him Li Shimin's will.

I originally thought that the other party would happily agree and thank me with tears of gratitude.

But Cheng Yaojin suddenly rolled his eyes and pretended to be fainted again.

This made Fang Xuanling very angry.

Cheng Yaojin, you can just pretend to be in front of others. Now, you dare to pretend in front of yourself. This is obviously because you can't trust yourself.

So, Fang Xuanling used her sharp tongue to start the admonition mode and whispered in the other person's ears all night.

Unexpectedly, instead of "impacting" the fool in front of him, this move actually made him sleep more comfortably and even snore.

If it weren't for the fact that the two had been friends for many years, Fang Xuanling would have really wanted to just walk away.

But even so, Fang Xuanling didn't say anything to Cheng Yaojin in the end.

In the end, the other party just said softly:

After saying "I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die yet", he sent Fang Xuanling away.

After leaving the place where Cheng Yaojin was imprisoned, Fang Xuanling decided to take a risk after thinking about it all the way.

So, in the morning of the next day, he said directly in front of the civil and military officials:

"Your Majesty, Zhijie has undergone great changes during this period. He suffered a great fright on the way to Chang'an. As a result, he is now a little confused and confused."

"After a night of patient persuasion by the minister, and the fact that the other party was sober from time to time, I finally learned something about the situation in Henan Road."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Fang Xuanling in astonishment, especially Changsun Wuji.

He knew that Fang Xuanling had spent the whole night alone with Cheng Yaojin.

But according to the report from the spy, Fang Xuanling was the one who spoke the whole time between the two, while Cheng Yaojin basically didn't speak. If he did, it was just the last words: he wanted to live.

But now the other party is full of lies, saying that Cheng Yaojin has become confused and explaining the situation in Henan Road. Doesn't this treat everyone as fools?

Without any hesitation, Changsun Wuji stood up directly, pointed at Fang Xuanling's nose and said:

"Prime Minister, you actually lied in front of the entire court and His Majesty. Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Fang Xuanling was not surprised at all when Sun Wuji stood up to accuse him. It could also be said that he had expected the other party's move.

"Master Changsun, what do you mean by this? I, Fang Xuanling, always seek truth from facts when speaking and doing things, and I never cheat. Are you trying to slander me?"

Changsun Wuji sneered:

"Fang Xuanling, you said you had a secret conversation with Cheng Yaojin last night, but was there anyone else present to testify for you? Why didn't you take Cheng Yaojin to the palace today to explain the matter in front of all the officials and His Majesty? clear?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the civil and military officials with just your words now."

Facing Changsun Wuji's pressing steps, Fang Xuanling was not timid at all, and still kept a smile and said:

"Lord Changsun, you said it yourself just now. I went to have a secret conversation with Cheng Yaojin on orders. Since it was a secret conversation, there was no third person present."

"Lord Changsun is so sure that I deceived you, but do you know what I said to Cheng Yaojin?"

"I..."

Changsun Wuji wanted to directly say that he knew, but when he thought that if he said this, he would be accused of secretly spying on important officials of the court and disregarding His Majesty's will, he swallowed the words abruptly.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was speechless, Fang Xuanling smiled slightly again and said:

"As for why I didn't bring Cheng Yaojin to the main hall, you must have seen it yesterday. Cheng Yaojin is sometimes awake and sometimes confused. I want to wait for him to regain consciousness and repeat what he said before. Wouldn't that be It’s a waste of time.”

"We all know that soldiers are valuable and quick. If we blindly accept death and don't know how to adapt, then if we miss the best opportunity to send troops and give Chu Xin that enchantress time to prepare, the losses caused by that time will be unknown to everyone present. Who among us is willing to take on this responsibility?"

After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and agreed with each other's point of view.

At this time, Li Shimin already knew Fang Xuanling's intention, and the other party wanted to cut the mess with a quick knife.

Therefore, without saving energy and missing this opportunity, he directly waved his hand and said:

"Xuan Ling's words deeply touched my heart. It is said that soldiers are valuable and quick. I have always believed in this truth since I started my army in Taiyuan."
