"Conquer Goguryeo?" Li Dongsheng paused for a moment and said, "What's so noisy about this?" My Tang Army is mighty, just a Goguryeo, there should be no problem. ”

"Alas, my Hou Ye, Yang Guang thought the same way back then." Wei Shuyu was heartbroken: "Back then, the Great Sui army was not weaker than my Tang Dynasty, but it was also defeated in Goguryeo, and I pity my Han family where to sacrifice millions." After the three expeditions to Goryeo, the Great Sui collapsed, and only then did I have the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Now that my Tang Dynasty is in the prosperous world, why bother touching that hornet's nest? ”

"Your idea is to make no trouble, everyone make do with their lives, and don't shout and kill. But you don't know the emperor's thoughts, His Majesty's martial arts have reached the pinnacle of the emperors of the past dynasties, but the prince's rebellion has cast a shadow on his glorious career, so he is going to pacify Goguryeo to prove that he is still invincible. "Li Dongsheng has long known that Li Shimin is going to conquer Goguryeo, and this matter cannot be changed.

"Then you mean it's useless for us to object?" Wei Shuyu said: "Since this is the case, then I will write tomorrow to agree with His Majesty's opinion, hehe!" ”

Fang Zhizhi despised him: "You guy sees the wind and steers, you really don't want to be a son of man." ”

"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, then we, as courtiers, have to think about how to help him fulfill his wish, and I don't admit what you said about seeing the wind and making the rudder." Wei Shuyu laughed twice, turned to Li Dongsheng and said: "Dongsheng, we have a good relationship, you can't harm me, you told your brother that Your Majesty has decided to conquer Goguryeo in person?" ”

"Don't worry, I can't hurt anyone! You are bold enough to go to the book. "Li Dongsheng can guarantee this matter with a head.

At the same time, in the political affairs hall, Li Shimin and a group of ministers were also discussing this issue. He said with a serious expression: "I want to send troops to Goguryeo, firstly, to completely eliminate this threat of Goguryeo, and secondly, to avenge the Han family's sons who died tragically in Liaodong, but now Goguryeo is ignoring my will of the Tang Dynasty, which is really hateful." ”

Who is not a human spirit among the people present, just listen to what you Li Shimin said. It is true that Goguryeo sent troops to solve this threat in Liaodong, but what you say is to avenge the Han family's son.

You don't look good on your face because of the prince's rebellion, so you want to destroy Goguryeo to divert everyone's attention. And he wants to prove that he is better than Yang Guang, because the Sui Dynasty's expedition to Goguryeo killed more than a million people, if he can win, everyone will cheer for his martial arts, he is the real emperor of the ages, and he also proves his wisdom and martial arts, and at the same time declares that Tang replaced Sui is the mandate of heaven!

"Your Majesty, the threat of Goguryeo does exist, and now they are superficially subservient to the Tang Dynasty, but his wolf ambitions are currently looking at the strength of my Tang Dynasty Army." Fang Xuanling probably thought about it for a long time, frowned, and said, "Although Goguryeo is a small country, the country is mountainous, the roads are rugged and difficult, and the soldiers are brave, I am afraid that the logistics and supplies of our army will not be able to keep up after they pass!" ”

"These things are not enough to mention, now my Tang soldiers are full of food, especially the treasury is full, and there is a firearms battalion, a big killing weapon, but Goguryeo is getting weaker and weaker due to civil strife, and this is a good opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop." Li Shimin said with a very firm attitude. Speaking of this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved, as if these two things were brought by Li Dongsheng, this guy has not heard from him for a long time, and he doesn't know what he has been busy with recently.

The emperor can be willful in attacking Goguryeo, but Fang Xuanling and his prime ministers are very cautious. Because the deployment of troops will be His Majesty's business, but the logistics are all maintained by them. To tell the truth, they really don't want to attack Goguryeo, although the national power of the Tang Dynasty has begun to grow stronger, but such a good life has only been a few years, and the foundation has not yet been solid, so it would be good if they could wait a few more years. And there is no such thing as a sure victory, if Goguryeo is destroyed, it will officially announce the arrival of the prosperous era, but if the war is lost, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be affected, and this decision is really not easy to make.

This matter has been discussed several times, and the ministers are trying to persuade Li Shimin not to be in such a hurry, but Li Shimin has already made up his mind, and everyone has taken a step back, that is, to ask him not to drive the expedition in person, and directly send a few generals to destroy Goguryeo, and kill chickens with knives.

There was a lot of noise, but there was still no agreement. Li Shimin returned to the dormitory with a tired look, since the death of Empress Changsun, he has come here less often, and he usually goes to the concubine to rest, and he has to be quiet alone if he is not in the mood these days.

After Wang De waited for Li Shimin to wash, Li Shimin suddenly asked him: "What has Li Dongsheng been doing recently?" ”

This question is too sudden, but the most important thing around the leader is to improvise: "Lan Tianhou closed his door after his resignation last time, and just went to Changle Fang to chat with Wei Shuyu and Fang Zhizhi. I didn't pay attention to his movements for a while. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Let him come to the palace tomorrow." ”

Li Dongsheng couldn't have imagined what Li Shimin was going to summon him for? Last time, you said don't want to see me again, you have no jokes, how can you break your promise if you are the emperor?

However, I could only think about this in my heart, and after cleaning up, I followed the little eunuch into the palace, and along the way, I wanted to know Li Shimin's purpose when he saw him, but unfortunately the little eunuch really didn't know anything.

In a remote palace, Li Dongsheng sat alone in the main hall and waited for Li Shimin, Li Dongsheng also entered the palace several times, but the road and layout were indistinguishable, thinking that if he wanted to kill the emperor and rebel, it was estimated that no one would be found anywhere.

I scolded a few words in my heart, so I sat and waited with my eyes and nose and nose and heart. Recently, I was recuperating at home, and the three fields were not lightly cultivated, Xiaoju and Xiaoxing had no children, so the demand was a little bigger, and Li Houye was more tired, so he sat and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" The cry of the little eunuch came from outside the main hall, and under normal circumstances, the courtiers should go outside to greet them. Li Shimin stood for a while, but he didn't even look at Li Dongsheng, frowned, and heard the sound of snoring coming from the hall. The ladies guarding the palace were terrified. Li Shimin laughed: "This guy really doesn't treat me as an outsider!" ”。

When Li Dongsheng was pushed awake by Wang De, he saw Li Shimin standing there and looked at him with a smile, and quickly got up to salute, regretting that he had a handle to be caught by him. The disgrace of the monarch is also a word commonly used in the impeachment of the imperial history.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Li Dongsheng eats and drinks well at home, and he has returned to his previous appearance of a little white face, Li Shimin is jealous in his heart, I am busy every day and have to fight wits and courage with the ministers, you guy is young and wants to escape and be lazy, but you can't follow his wishes. He got straight to the point and said, "I want to conquer Goguryeo in person, do you have any ideas?" ”
