"The plan is a good one, but who can go to the Turks to implement this plan?"
Li Zexuan's plan to divide the Turks was certainly eye-catching, but Qin Qiong frowned and asked such a question.
After all, whether a plan is good or bad depends on the results, and the person who implements the plan is directly related to the results!
Li Er, who was full of excitement and smiling, suddenly paled after hearing Qin Qiong's words. Apparently he also understood that a good plan is only half the success, and the other half depends on the person who implements the plan!
"Shu Bao is right, Li Zexuan, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Li Er frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, this... Xiaoxuan is not familiar with most of the officials in the court, and he may not have a suitable candidate in mind!"
Before Li Zexuan spoke, Qin Qiong couldn't help but speak.
To the people of the Tang Dynasty, the current Turks were nothing more than a dragon's den and a tiger's den. If Li Zexuan was asked to select a person who would carry out the strategy of dividing the Turks, wouldn't it be obvious that Li Zexuan was offending someone? If that person never comes back, it is estimated that that person's family will regard Li Zexuan as a generational enemy; if that person is lucky enough to succeed and come back alive, and be promoted to a noble position, that person will not be grateful to Li Zexuan in the least. I just feel lucky that I am smart or lucky!
This is a thankless task. Out of the consideration of protecting the younger generation, Qin Qiong does not want Li Zexuan to answer Li Er's question!
I have to say that Lao Qin really treats Li Zexuan as his nephew!
Li Zexuan is not stupid. Although his emotional intelligence cannot be said to be very high, it is definitely not low. Almost in an instant, he figured out Qin Qiong's intention. He couldn't help but feel a little moved, thinking that he was just unintentionally treating someone. After Qin Qiong's old injury was healed, Qin Qiong always treated him as his savior. She usually protected him in everything. Whenever something happened to him, Qin Qiong was always the first to stand up. Back then, he single-handedly killed the people in Blood Wind Village. It was like this at that time, and it was also like this when he fought a bloody battle with the Turkic army at Longmen Pass half a month ago!
Li Zexuan can only keep these friendships in his heart silently. When the Qin family encounters difficulties and needs help, he will definitely provide assistance without hesitation!
How could Lao Li, such a fine person, not be able to see what Cheng Yaojin was thinking? His eyes flashed and he looked at Qin Qiong, who was bowing and lowering his head. A hint of understanding quickly flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed and said: "Uncle Bao, how could I not think of the things you can think of? You Don’t worry, what Li Zexuan said today will only reach the ears of the four of us, and no fifth person will know it!”
This is a guarantee for Qin Qiong that the person recommended by Li Zexuan will never know that he was recommended by Li Zexuan!
It is really rare for an emperor to do this!
Qin Qiong was about to speak, but Li Zexuan spoke at this moment. He first raised his hand to Qin Qiong and said: "Uncle Qin's kindness, my nephew appreciates it! But now my nephew only has the life and death of the Tang Dynasty in his heart. I recommend it to your majesty today." The person who implemented the plan was completely out of public motives, and my nephew has a clear conscience!"
After that, Li Zexuan bowed to Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I happen to have a candidate in mind, and he is the most suitable person to implement this plan. I hope your Majesty can consider it!"
"you say!"
Li Er said hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"The Duke of Ju, Tang Jian!"
Under Li Er's aggressive gaze, Li Zexuan did not sell out this time and directly stated that the most ideal candidate in his mind was the legendary figure who had sent many missions to the Turks in history and almost died in the grasslands - Tang Jian!
Tang Jian, courtesy name Maoyue, was born in Jinyang, Bingzhou. In the original history, Tang Jian was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He was born in the first year of Elephant in the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the troubled times, and died in the first year of Xianqing of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He experienced three dynasties and five emperors, and passed away at the age of nearly eighty. He was called the longevity star in the officialdom at that time.
When he was a boy, Tang Jian was born into a family of officials and a prominent family. He was never tired of meticulous work and fine food. He received a good education and cultural influence, and developed an unruly, bold and unscrupulous character. He was not a conformist son. However, nature belongs to nature and education belongs to education. Tang Jian showed great respect to his elders and was famous in his hometown for his filial piety.
Because his father Tang Jian had a close relationship with Li Yuan who stayed in Taiyuan, Tang Jian, who was more than 20 years older than Li Er, also had the opportunity to interact with Li Er and became a close friend. At that time, the Sui Dynasty was full of rebellion and chaos. Tang Jian often talked with Li Er about the general trend of the world, and secretly reminded Li Er that "the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, and the world was in trouble." Li Er, who had great ambitions, regarded Tang Jian as a confidant and reported Tang Jian's words to his father. Li Yuan heard this and warned the people not to speak nonsense. Afterwards, Tang Jian was secretly summoned to the palace to discuss the general trend of the world.
Therefore, Tang Jian can be regarded as the earliest minister who followed the dragon!
In September of the second year of Wude, Tang Zuo was founded, the foundation of the country was not stable, and the world was still torn apart. Liu Wuzhou took Mayi as his base, formed a alliance with the Turks in the north, raised troops and went south, directly driving to Taiyuan, the place where Li Tang was prosperous, and drank from the Ma Fen River. Li Yuanji, the third son of the new emperor Li Yuan and the king of Jin who stayed behind in Taiyuan, saw Liu Wuzhou's fierce approach and abandoned Jinyang and fled to Chang'an. After Liu Wuzhou took Taiyuan lightly, he continued to march south. Tang official Lu Chongmao took control of Xia County and gathered people to rebel against Tang and respond to Liu Wuzhou.
At that time, Tang Jian also arrived in the army on a mission, and it happened that Li Xiaoji and others were captured by Liu Wuzhou. Unfortunately, he was also captured. While in captivity, the resourceful Tang Jian, despite being trapped in the enemy camp, "found that all the thieves and commanders were mediocre, but Yuchi Jingde had a great vision." So he took the opportunity to rebel against Yuchi Jingde and persuaded him to choose a leader. , surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Yuchi Jingde also knew that it would be difficult for Liu Wu to achieve great things in Zhou Dynasty. Under Tang Jian's persuasion, "he was in the Cao camp but his heart was in the Han Dynasty" and prepared to wait for an opportunity to abandon Liu and join the Tang Dynasty. In prison, Tang Jian and Yuan Junbao were imprisoned together. From their mouths, they learned about Dugu Huaien's rebellion. From time to time, there was news that the Dugu family had escaped and returned to Pufan to take up their original posts. Seeing that the situation was critical, Tang Jian urgently asked Yuchi to release Liu Shirang immediately and reported the news to Tangying. At the urging of the King of Qin, Emperor Gaozu was on his way to Pufan. Hearing what Liu Shirang said, he trapped and killed Dugu Huaien and escaped from the catastrophe.
Under the internal and external cooperation, Qin King Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou. After returning to the capital, Tang Jian was appointed as the Minister of Rites, the Chief Historian of Tiance Prefecture, the Assistant Minister of Huangmen of the School, and was granted the title of Duke of Ju.
The most legendary thing about Tang Jian is his later mission to the Turks.
In the early years of Zhenguan, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks ceased, and Tang Jian was ordered to send an envoy to the Turks to establish peace. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were invaded again. In accordance with the imperial mission, Tang Jian brought gold, platinum, and grain to induce Jie Li to surrender. Jieli saw that the Tang Dynasty was becoming stronger and more respectful to the Turks, so he prepared to submit to the Tang Dynasty and slack off in military defense. At this time, the Tang court sent Li Jing's troops to make a surprise attack, defeating the Turks and quelling the troubles in the northern frontier.
Living in the hinterland of the Turks, not only did he achieve his goal of luring Jie Li to surrender, but he was also able to escape before Li Jing launched his attack. Tang Jian's operation was truly superb! Afterwards, Tang Jian was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his son married Princess Yuzhang as Fengluan. The Taiyuan Tang family became both a high-ranking official and a relative of the country, and their glory reached its peak from then on.
It is precisely because Tang Jian left such a mark in the history books that Li Zexuan now recommends Tang Jian to Li Er. He believes that with Tang Jian's quick wit and intelligence, he will definitely be able to successfully implement the differentiation plan!
"I heard that Tang Jian, Duke of Ju State, was on a mission to the Turks last year. Duke Ju State knew the environment and situation of the Turks better than many ministers! In addition, when His Majesty defeated the rebel Liu Wuzhou, Duke Ju State was imprisoned. Among them, he was able to successfully instigate Uncle Yuchi, who was under Liu Wuzhou's account at that time, which proved that Duke Ju's quick wit and eloquence were extremely outstanding! How similar was the situation at that time to today? Therefore, I believe that Tuli Khan was used as the basis to instigate other tribes. Chief, it would be most appropriate to send the Duke of Ju!"
Li Zexuan bowed his hands to Li Er and said loudly.
