After Li Shimin left the Tiangong Academy, he seemed to be immersed in the fantasy that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would become stronger and stronger.

Li Shimin didn't notice the expression of Empress Eldest Sun who wanted to speak and stopped.

Empress Changsun's entanglement lasted all the way, until the two entered the imperial city and entered Li Shimin's imperial study, Empress Changsun did not ask the doubts in her heart.

In the end, after accompanying Li Shimin to review the rest of today's recital, Empress Changsun finally couldn't help it and opened her mouth to ask.

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Eldest Sun was still a little reluctant to speak during the inquiry.

"Guanyin, what do you want to say? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Li Shimin saw the entanglement of Empress Changsun and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is the Marquis of Dingbei...... Does it have anything to do with my royalty? I always felt that his eyebrows and eyes were too similar to His Majesty......"

Empress Eldest Sun finally asked.

She also knew that her problem was quite abrupt, and she was mentally prepared for Li Shimin's anger.

In the cognition of Empress Changsun, this matter is very likely to involve the scandal of the Emperor Taishang.

She never considered that this would be Li Shimin's own scandal, and she still had enough trust in Li Shimin after all.

"This ......"

Sure enough, Li Shimin's face changed instantly.

You must know that the news that Li Yan is his long-lost illegitimate son must not be leaked.

Once leaked, it's a royal scandal!

Especially when Li Yan just completed the feat of sealing the wolf Juxu at the age of nineteen.

This matter is very likely to be used by someone with a heart, saying that this is because he Li Shimin forcibly passed on the credit of his leadership to Li Yan.

As long as you are not careful, it will cause a storm of public opinion that will affect the entire Datang.

When Empress Eldest Sun saw Li Shimin's expression, she thought to herself.

It seems that this is really a ridiculous thing that **** has done.

Of course, Empress Changsun actually suspected the old prince Li Jiancheng, but Empress Changsun considered that if this was Li Jiancheng's sin, she was afraid that Li Shimin would not treat Li Yan like this!

Therefore, the only person who can correspond to this age and time is the Emperor Li Yuan.

The tragic Li Yuan didn't know that he had unknowingly taken over a huge black cauldron in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji......

"Your Majesty, I know that this matter must not be publicized."

Empress Changsun stopped Li Shimin, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said that this matter must not be mentioned again, and it should be left a decent impression for the Emperor Taishang in his last old age.

"Eh, Guanyin, I shouldn't hide it from you."

Li Shimin shook his head, he thought that Empress Changsun had guessed the facts, so he didn't explain more, but sighed and apologized to Empress Changsun.

"Actually, it was ...... back then"

Li Shimin was just about to say something, but an urgent voice came from outside the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! Something big happened in Shanzhou, the northwest border! Tugu Hun attacked, and Dr. Wei Zheng personally led the army to fight against him, and he was deeply damaged! Now that Shanzhou is besieged, the city is broken! ”

Wang De personally came to the audience with a blood-stained urgent report.

Originally, the soldiers who delivered the message from Shanzhou died of blood loss when they arrived at the gate of Chang'an, and Wang De could only come to report the situation to Li Shimin in person.

"What? How dare Tu Gu Hun do this! ”

Li Shimin instantly threw away the tangled emotions in his original heart, and fell into a rage.

Li Shimin never imagined that Tuguhun would suddenly invade the Tang Dynasty!

It stands to reason that the relationship between Datang and Tuguhun should be that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there is no reason for the Tuguhun people to suddenly invade the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this, Li Shimin only transferred 300 soldiers to send Wei Zheng to Shanzhou.

Li Shimin never thought that such behavior would trap Wei Zheng.

"Immediately announce the entry of hundreds of officials into the court!"

Li Shimin did not dare to be sloppy, he now had to hold an emergency court meeting to decide who should be sent to the border to relieve the emergency.

The eunuchs in the palace acted quickly, one person in charge of one official, and urgently notified them.

Within half an hour, hundreds of officials gathered in Taiji Palace and began to discuss countermeasures.

After some quick discussions and resolutions, Li Shimin made a decision.

With Li Jing as the main general, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong as the deputy generals, he led an army of 30,000 to Shanzhou immediately to support.

After the crisis in Shanzhou is resolved, we will consider the matter of going to Tuguhun again.

In this way, the Tang army began to mobilize, and a military operation of such a scale naturally could not be concealed, and the people of Chang'an were keenly aware that this was about to fight again!

It will take time for the army to be mobilized, and the army will probably be assembled by the morning of the next day.

This also means that the soldiers still have some time to adjust.

Therefore, Zhang Dazhu, Ge Dahai and a group of nine people, who are now included in Cheng Yanjin's army, came to the Dingbei Hou Mansion and met Li Yan before the expedition.

"Boss!"

"Boss, we miss you!"

As soon as he received the report from his subordinates, Li Yan immediately walked out of the gate of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and met these nine brothers who were the first to follow him.

"Dazhu, the sea, why are you here?"

Li Yan didn't know the news that the army was going to go on the expedition, so he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Boss, we are now under General Cheng, and I have also become a captain!"

"We are going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and those cubs of Tuguhun actually violated my Datang, boss, we must kill hundreds of them, and we will never disgrace you!"

Zhang Dazhu and Ge Dahai responded to Li Yan's question, showing full confidence on their faces.

They have undergone rigorous training in Fengzhou, and all of them are the most elite soldiers of Datang.

Especially Zhang Dazhu and Ge Dahai, the former is a fight with a second-rate military general of the Tang Dynasty after being trained by Cheng Biting Jin, while the latter is a powerful player with a perennial experience of pig racing, and his riding skills are superb, even if he doesn't race pigs and changes to horseback riding, he is also the most elite scout in Datang.

In addition to these two people, the other seven are not bad, and they have a skill that can be proud of.

It's just that when Li Yan heard that they were going to fight, he was silent after all.

At the beginning, Li Yan chose to resign, and chose to keep them in the army in order not to delay the future of Zhang Dazhu and others.

However, now that Li Yan heard that they were going to war, he was a little worried.

He is very worried that these brothers, who were the first to follow him from birth to death, will fall into crisis, even trauma, and even ...... Die.

For a while, Li Yan regretted his original decision.

"If you don't want to go, you can tell me and I can ...... you"

Li Yan asked tentatively, but was interrupted by Zhang Dazhu and the others without hesitation.

"Boss! The lieutenants we are now mixed with are actually stained with your light, and we don't want to be criticized. ”

"Boss, we are not afraid of death, and we can't embarrass you!"

"That's it, boss, you brought us out! Counting the nine of us, none of the soldiers in the entire Fengzhou who have been led by you have been cowardly! ”

The nine people directly rejected Li Yan's kindness, they didn't want to live up to Li Yan's expectations!

They want to make a name for themselves in the army and win glory for their boss!
