"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yumen Pass, there are several times that the Tubo army has swept through the border, whether to increase the troops!"

Li Shimin took the military newspaper and sighed with a sad face.

The Tang family is poor, and it is already difficult for the people to make a living, Li Shimin is depressed in his heart, it is difficult!

Li Tai came to Jingyang, looked around, and finally found Li Zheng in the field.

"Li Zheng, what are you doing?" Li Tai asked.

"Help me put all these potatoes in a bamboo basket." Li Zheng said.

Although he didn't know what potatoes were, Li Tai still helped Li Zheng sort out the potatoes.

There are quite a few people in the fields who are collecting potatoes and throwing them out of the soil one by one and putting them in bamboo baskets.

After packing up these potatoes, the granaries in the village are already full, and there are not enough granaries to build a few more.

Li Tai held a potato in his hand and asked, "Can you eat this thing?" ”

"Why can't you eat it, I'll make you fries." Li is returning home with a basket of potatoes.

Heat up the pan and add some lard and start frying the potatoes slowly.

Li Tai sat aside and said, "My father asked me to ask you, why don't you go to the court to be an official." ”

"Not interested." Li Zheng said.

"Then what are you interested in?" Li Tai asked again.

Li Zheng took the fries out of the pot with chopsticks and said: "Actually, I have a nickname called Infrastructure Maniac, and I am interested in infrastructure. ”

"Life in the world is nothing more than fame and fortune, and infrastructure is something."

Li Zheng handed a stack of fries to Li Tai, "Eat." ”

Picking up some hot fries, Li Tai ate them in his mouth, "This is delicious." ”

"When the tomatoes are ripe, they will taste better with tomato sauce." Li Zheng said.

After eating the fries on the plate in a few bites, Li Tai asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone, you have to eat it and make it yourself." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai was still a little unsatisfied, "I went to see my father this time, and my father looked angry. ”

"Really? He didn't kill his relatives in righteousness? ”

"How is it possible, I haven't reached the point of rebellion."

Li Tai in history really did not reach the point of great rebellion, and it was only deposed after he was eager to try.

In the later period of Zhenguan, it seems that all of Li Shimin's sons are rebelling against him.

Li Zheng said to him earnestly: "Actually, there will be many people who will rebel against your father in the future, and there will not be many more than you." ”

Li Tai smiled and said, "How is it possible." ”

"You'll understand later." Li Zheng sighed and said: "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be decisive, the opportunity is right in front of you, just like your father, seize the opportunity and make it happen." ”

Li Tai knew that what Li Zheng was hinting at was the matter of Xuanwu Gate.

"Don't talk about it, it's a taboo, and I won't be as tired and troublesome as you said."

"Now that you are the emperor, I don't have to be urged by your father to be an official all day long."

"That's a bargain for you." Li Tai sneered.

"You're welcome."

"I don't want to rebel, just in case...... Right. ”

"I don't want to be an official either, Chang'an is too dangerous."

Sure enough, the morality of the two is on the same level.

Rebellion is risky.

Be cautious as an official.

Hit it off, drink wine and eat meat.

The wine and meat were placed on the table, and Li Tai said, "Sure enough, it's still a good day for you here." ”

"The only way to solve your worries is to eat meat." Li Zheng also said.

In a hurry to eat, Cheng Chumo hurriedly came and said, "Do you know? Something happened to Yumen Pass. ”

After speaking, Cheng Chumo sat down and ate unceremoniously.

Cheng Chumo and Li Tai are really addicted to rice, aren't they?

Li Tai ate and said, "Your pork is really good, next time I will also let the house prepare a little." ”

After the meal, Cheng Chumo said to Li Zheng: "Tubo attacked and disturbed Yumen Pass, and many generals in the DPRK and China asked for battle. ”

Li Zheng ate peanuts and said: "You put 10,000 hearts, that thing in Yumen Pass doesn't lay eggs, and if it doesn't go to the village or the store, Songtsen Gampo won't think about attacking there." ”

"Why?" Cheng Chumo asked again.

Looking at the sky, Li Zheng said: "Think about how many soldiers and horses are needed to build the next Yumen Pass." ”

"At least sixty thousand." Cheng Chumo replied.

"That's not it, 60,000 soldiers and horses are 60,000 mouths, it's not so simple to attack Yumen Pass, the terrain is unfavorable, and there is no water source around, Tubo is thankless to attack there, he won't be so stupid to fight Yumen Pass."

"And where do you think they're going to attack?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Li Zheng smiled deeply, "They won't attack anywhere." ”

"Then what are they doing at the border?"

The strength of the wine rose slightly, Li Zheng drank a sip of cold water and said to him: "Now that Tubo Songtsen Gampo covets not Yumen Pass, even if Yumen Pass is attacked, where will Tubo's army go to supply?" ”

"You have a point." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "What Tubo wants is Tuyuhun's territory, and this time Tuyuhun wants to prepare to attack the Tang Dynasty is the time for Songtsan Gampo." ”

"The so-called attack on Yumen Pass is just Songtsen Gampo's suspicious plan, what he really hopes is that Tuyuhun will enter Liangzhou, and the attack on Yumen Pass is just hoping that the DPRK will disperse its forces to rush to the aid of Yumen Pass, waiting for Tuyuhun to tear a hole, if Tuyuhun succeeds, then Tubo is likely to attack Guanzhong in a big way."

"What if Tuyuhun loses?"

"Songtsen Gampo will attack us again."

"Isn't that the same?"

Li Tai also understood, and said to Cheng Chumo: "This is not the same, Tubo wants to use Tuyuhun to test our hypocrisy, if the Tang Dynasty forces are greatly damaged because of the Turkic battle, he will inevitably take this opportunity to attack." ”

"If Tuyuhun fails, when Songtsen Gampo comes to attack, he will only flash his fist."

"Tell us that the current Tubo is already very strong, so that the Tang Dynasty is jealous and vigilant, so that Tubo can take advantage of this to recuperate for many years."

"Sorry I still didn't understand." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said: "Then let me ask you, what will you do if you take a fancy to a girl and want to tie her up to be Mrs. Zhai?" ”

"Of course, I stepped on it first." Cheng Chu didn't have to think about it.

"That's amazing, Songtsen Gampo came to step on it first."

When Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an, a group of old generals at home were discussing the affairs of Yumen Pass and Tuyuhun.

Because the Cheng family has spirits, Guogong is also happy to drink it.

Cheng Yanjin stopped his son and shouted: "Chu Mo, are you willing to ask for war to go to Yumen Pass." ”

"I don't want to." Cheng Chumo shook his head.

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned for a while.

Cheng Yanjin asked again: "What did you just say?" ”

"I said I didn't want to go to Yumen Pass." Cheng Chumo said again.

If this is the mileage on weekdays, Chu Mo must be the first to rush to the front to ask for a fight, Cheng Yanjin also likes his son's heroism, and asked: "Chu Mo, did you eat anything dirty today." ”

Cheng Chumo stood aside lazily and said, "I didn't eat dirty things, the child just thinks that Tubo will not come to attack Yumen Pass."

Listening to Cheng Chumo's words, Qin Qiong immediately stood up and asked, "Why did you say this?" ”
