There is a famous saying that is very true: it is not a dream to build a country, it always has to resort to blood and iron in the end!

Now, the newborn Datang is slowly standing up on this land, and correspondingly, the tempering of him is also coming!

Although this tempering seems a bit exaggerated in the eyes of many people, fortunately: this Tang Dynasty has a fearless and powerful emperor, a group of scheming ministers, and countless peerless generals!

When it was determined that the Turks were not monolithic, the plan against them soon appeared.

The strategy is old-fashioned, but it's also very practical: it's just a combination of vertical and horizontal!

In Wei Chigong's words, that is, since you dare to throw down the door and run away to rob, then don't blame us for letting your backyard catch fire!

So, Tang Jian, who had just returned to Chang'an, once again received the task of a business trip, unlike before, this time it was still a secret mission!

In addition to stratagem, upright conspiracy was also indispensable in the past.

Therefore, the holy decree was issued through the Zhongshu Province:

Wei Chigong served as the head of the Jingzhou Road march, and Li Jing served as the head of the Lingzhou Road march, each commander of the army, and stuck to one side.

Soft and hard, Li Shimin plans to come together this time!

The sky is getting darker.

In the huge East Palace, countless lights have been lit.

After Li Shimin waited for Xue to leave, he looked at the dark night sky overhead, and dragged his tired body along the long corridor to the harem.

"Your Majesty, go ...... tonight" The eunuch who was carrying the lamp in front of him bowed his body and asked the young emperor carefully.

"Go to the Queen!" Li Shimin replied indifferently.

"Whoa!"

After hearing this unsurprising answer, the eunuch immediately responded, and then led Li Shimin to the Cheng'en Hall with ease.

He also knew that His Majesty would be at least half of the queen's place in January, but in this way, he would disappoint the concubines who were waiting at the dresser.

Cheng'en Hall is one of the main halls of the East Palace, since the eldest grandson was named the queen, this hall has also become the residence of the mother of a country.

Today, although it is getting late, the lights of this palace are still bright.

Stopping the eunuch from shouting "The emperor is here", Li Shimin stepped forward and gently pushed the door of the palace, and the wooden door carved with countless patterns opened in response.

Behind the door, there was no figure of the eldest grandson queen in the bright hall, only a few palace maids on duty hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin was not surprised, waved his wide sleeves, and walked quickly to the back room of the palace.

"Your Majesty is here?"

may have heard the sound outside, and the eldest grandson opened the door to welcome him out before Li Shimin walked inside.

"Why haven't you slept yet? What are you busy with? When Li Shimin saw his eldest grandson, he suddenly felt that most of those troubles had gone, and asked with a smile.

The eldest grandson lowered his head and smiled: "What can the concubine be busy with in this harem?" It's just that Qin Ling sent someone to send a few things just now, and the concubine is... Well, look into it! ”

"Research?"

Li Shimin is no stranger to this word, and when he thinks that things come from Qinling, he also guesses who sent them.

"Xiao Han asked someone to send it, right? What did he send? Li Shimin asked curiously, and then regardless of his image, he stretched his neck and looked behind the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson looked at Li Shimin, who had always been calm, with this expression, and suddenly felt a little funny, and she asked softly, "Guess what he sent?" ”

"Guess?" Li Shimin frowned lightly and said helplessly: "How can you guess this?" However, this kid is a complete miser, so it's certainly not a valuable thing! Could it be that he caught some wild meat in Qinling and sent it over? ”

After listening to what Li Shimin said, the eldest grandson couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle: "You guessed half right, what he sent this time was a strange-looking weapon." ”

"Weapons?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly thought of the purpose of his trip to Qinling, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"How did I forget this?! Well, what did he send? You're not moving, are you? There are not many things he does that are kind, but there are many ruthless! I don't know how he did it with such a weak temperament. ”

"Hehe, don't you just like his temperament?" The eldest grandson knew Li Shimin the best, so he asked with a smile in the back.

"That's different!" Li Shimin shook his head, there was still a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about this, let's take a look at things first." ”

The eldest grandson nodded at this, got out of the way, and waited for Li Shimin to come in, then pointed to a strange-looking iron bump on the table and said, "Oh, that's it, he also gave this thing a name, it seems to be called a big pineapple." ”

"Big pineapple?" When Li Shimin heard this name, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, in fact, he wanted to say that Xiao Han's kung fu in choosing a name was really bad! It's so bad that he can't bear to look at it directly!

Before, he named a supreme weapon the big yellow crossbow, and those who knew it said it was a weapon, but those who didn't know thought it was a big yellow dog from the village next door!

"Hey, let's take a look first, if it's easy to use, I'll definitely change its name!" Thinking like this, Li Shimin approached the table and carefully examined this strange weapon.

"How did this thing come to be so weird? And it's not easy to cast, it's full of burrs, it's not aesthetic at all, oh, he said that he hates bells and whistles the most, so how to use this thing that looks so ugly? ”

Li Shimin, who looked around for a long time and felt that he didn't understand anything, asked the eldest grandson in confusion.

The eldest grandson walked over from the door, stretched out a finger, pointed at a piece of rope on the iron pimple's head, and said, "Say, he said to take the fire and light the rope, and then use the trebuchet to throw it out whole." ”

"Oh? How powerful? Li Shimin stretched out his hand, gently flicked the rope, and turned back to continue asking.

The eldest grandson took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Li Shimin: "He said that if he grasps it well, ten zhang square, there should be no living thing!" ”

"Ten zhang ......"

Hearing this number, Li Shimin was undoubtedly stunned! Then he finally came back to his senses, and immediately looked around the house again, as if he was measuring how big a radius of ten zhang was!

As a result, after he confirmed that the entire palace was only ten zhang square! A pair of eyes suddenly widened, big!

"Ahem, it's really fake!" snatched the letter, Li Shimin hurriedly unfolded it, and asked eagerly.

The eldest grandson let go of his hand, glanced at Li Shimin and said, "This is written by Ren Qing himself!" And he also wrote clearly in it, with his skills, it is inevitable to treat this! ”

"Ten zhang square, people and animals do not exist?!" Li Shimin had already opened the letter at this time, and then followed the fan, looking greedily at every word on the letter.
