Li Chengqian was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, Shangshu Province has already sent a telegram to my father. ”

Li You shook his head and sighed, "It's so fast." ”

Li Chengqian said worriedly: "How can this be good? Fifth brother, do you want to send a telegram to your father to explain? ”

Li You smiled: "There is no need. Big brother, our brothers do things above board, and their hearts are selfless and the world is wide, and we have no reason to explain this matter to our father, but it seems that we are empty-minded. ”

Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "That's right, the matter of Mount Tai is fortunate that we have been prepared in advance, and the historians, Zhongshu Province and Wei Zheng have also prepared the case, so there is really nothing to worry about." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, from the matter of Wuwei to the matter of Qizhou, have you found it, how powerful are those who are manipulating behind the scenes?" In this case, no matter how good the imperial decree is, it will be difficult to enforce it at the local level. ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes, when my father first ascended the throne, this was the case in the court, and my father was very sad at the beginning. After so many years of hard work, the court is much better, but this place is ......

It seems that the affairs of the Institute of Ethnic Affairs Management still need to be handled as soon as possible. ”

Li You suddenly smiled and said, "There are always people who put cold arrows behind their backs and dig holes for us." How about we dig a big hole for them too? ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Fifth brother, I know that you have a set of cheats, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tubo and those Fanbang people are not lightly cheated by you. You say what to do, big brother fully cooperates with you. ”

Li You said: "Big brother, let's ...... like this"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Okay, big brother will accompany you to play a play." ”

……

Not long ago, Li Shimin received a telegram from Li You, suggesting that he negotiate with the Goguryeo people to get Yuangae Suwen to surrender, but Li Shimin did not adopt his opinion. He decided to completely destroy the Goguryeo regime, not to allow Yuangae Suwen to surrender, to cut them down, and not to give them any chance to make a comeback. Subsequently, he sent a return call to Li You.

After reading the telegram, Li You said with emotion: "My father is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages!" He did the right thing in this matter. ”

Li Shimin believes that the Tang Dynasty has laid down a lot of places over the years, and the methods adopted are basically the same, leaving a lot of leeway for the nobles of those countries to strive for their final surrender. This method works most of the time, but it also leaves some people with illusions.

They will think that when they encounter the Don Army, they can resist desperately. In the end, it can't be defeated, and if it surrenders, there will be no more serious consequences. This creates a fluke mentality for them. In the absence of a deterioration of the situation, those people will take resolute measures of resistance to the Tang army, and wait until the situation is unfavorable before choosing to surrender.

In this case, it also indulged the luck psychology of some people, and in the early stage of the Tang army's offensive, it would cause large casualties to the Tang army.

Li Shimin wanted to use the example of the complete elimination of Goguryeo to warn those who had illusions that if they resolutely resisted the Tang army and caused heavy casualties to the Tang army, the final fate of Yuangai Suwen and others would be their fate.

In doing so, Li Shimin perfected the Tang Dynasty's strategy of foreign conquest, which was more deterrent than Li You's single method.

Li You once again sent a message and expressed his admiration for Li Shimin's strategic thinking.

The Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

On this day, Li Shimin received a telegram from the eldest grandson Wuji, which forwarded the chapter of the Qizhou Assassin History, and also said that Li You had withdrawn a large amount of money from the household department and mobilized the Flying Tiger Army to Mount Tai.

After reading the message, Li Shimin didn't have any expression, but just called Li Lizhen and said, "Send a telegram to your fifth brother, saying that someone is suing him, and ask him to call to tell me." ”

Li Lizhen admired Li You very much, and when she heard that someone had sued him, she couldn't help but worry about him. She secretly observed Li Shimin's expression, and when she saw that he was not angry, her heart suddenly became steady.

She handed Li Shimin a blank telegram paper, asked him to sign it, and said, "Father, the content of the telegram will be drafted for you." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, you can read and write." ”

Changan.

Not long after, Li You received a call from Li Lizhen, who said: "Fifth brother, my father said that someone has complained to him, so let you report the situation to him." However, my father doesn't seem to be angry with you. ”

Li You smiled and said: "Magpie, record: Please tell your father that the son is preparing a big gift for him, keep it secret for the time being, and the son will handle the rest of the matter himself." Thank you, Fourth Sister, I will prepare a gift to send to your house. ”

The Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Li Lizhi said: "Father, the fifth brother of the son called back, and he said that he was preparing a big gift for you, and he kept it secret for the time being." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "This stinky boy, mysterious and secretive, what the hell is he doing?" ”

Li Lizhi said: "The fifth brother's gift must be a super gift, otherwise, would he spend so much effort?" ”

Li Shimin trusted Li You very much, and gave him the royal gold medal, so that he could act cheaply. He believed that what Li You did must be something that was beneficial to himself and the imperial court. He was just a little curious, so he wanted to ask.

He asked, "Guess what gift he will prepare for me?" ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Father, the fifth brother is really too smart. What he made out is something that no one else can imagine. Over the years, the fifth brother has given many great gifts to your father and the imperial court. Since the fifth brother is confidential, it seems that this gift is really worth looking forward to! ”

She had just received a gift from Li You, and hurriedly said good things for Li You.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "I am relieved that your fifth brother is doing things. ”

Li Lizhi said: "Yes, father, the fifth brother is very good, and he takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters." ”

Li You is broad-minded and tolerant, originally Li Leling hated him very much, but now he is his hardcore supporter. Li Shimin's other younger princes and daughters all like the amiable and very generous fifth brother.

Li Chengqian is close to Li You, and now Li Ke has a good relationship with Li You. Li Chengqian sent a condolence delegation to Li Ke's Southern Expeditionary Army to offer condolences, and vigorously supported Li Ke in terms of logistical support, and now the relationship between the two has eased a lot.

All of this was played by Li You, and Li Shimin appreciated it very much.

This time, regarding Li Tai's stay in Chang'an, Li You's approach was particularly satisfactory to Li Shimin. Li Shimin knew the difficulty of this matter, Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and many others were opposed to Li Tai staying in Chang'an, and Empress Changsun was probably the same attitude. Li Shimin's appearance may not be able to successfully handle this matter.

There is only Li You, who came forward to solve these troubles for Li Shimin. You must know that Li Tai has always been against Li You back then, and Li Shimin is grateful to Li You in his heart.

Changan.

That night, Li You received another telegram from Li Lizhen, which she secretly sent to Li You by taking advantage of the opportunity of being on duty. She told him Li Shimin's attitude towards this matter and asked him to rest assured.

Li You didn't take this matter seriously, but after Li Lizhi called, his heart became more steady. However, he knew that Li Chengqian was afraid of Li Shimin and was under great pressure in his heart, so the next morning, he took Li Liqian's telegram to the Liangyi Palace.

Li You's activities were seen by the eyes and ears of the eldest grandson Wuji, reported to him, and specially told him that Li You's face was ugly.

Yesterday Li You went to see Li Chengqian, and today he asked to see Li Chengqian so early, it seems that Li Shimin must have sent a telegram to Li You to question him, although he did not know the content of the telegram, but judging from these signs, Li Shimin must have been unhappy.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought that what happened in Taishan had begun to affect Li Shimin's trust in Li You, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

Palace.

The midsummer of Chang'an is very hot and dry, the road into the palace is a wide square, there is no shade place, Li You walked to the Liangyi Palace, to walk a long distance, the color of the robe on the body is dark, a bit of a solar energy storage effect, this road was dizzy. He frowned, nostalgic for the coolness of wearing a short-sleeved shirt in later generations as he walked.

The house architecture of the Tang Dynasty advocated grandeur, and the space inside the house was very large, which had a great advantage of being very cool in summer.

Li You finally came to the Liangyi Palace, and as soon as he entered the main hall, Li You suddenly perked up, and the bitter gourd on his face was replaced by a smiling face.
