At this moment in the palace, Li Shimin was holding a court meeting, and at this time, the five horsemen quickly passed through the palace gate and shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" Pyongyang won a great victory, and Hu Guogong annihilated more than 200,000 enemies! ”

"Pyongyang won a great victory, Hu Guogong annihilated more than 200,000 enemies! ...

Riding all the way, along the way, the soldiers guarding the door all opened the door one after another, allowing them to pass quickly, at this time, no one dared to stop them, if anyone dared to stop them, it would be a capital crime.

"Your Majesty, there's a report from outside, it's urgent for eight hundred miles!" Wang En rushed in at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Eight hundred miles expedited?" When Li Shimin heard it, he also stood up: "Pass!" ”

"Yes!" Wang En quickly went out, waiting for the soldiers who reported the news to dismount and quickly run towards the side of Chengtian Palace.

"Quick, go in, Your Majesty Xuan!" Wang En said to one of the leading captains.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" The captain walked in quickly, without stopping,

When he arrived at the palace, the captain ran quickly to the front, knelt down on one knee, held up two letters, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, Pyongyang has won a great victory, Hu Guogong has destroyed more than 200,000 enemies and captured more than 50,000 prisoners, and now he has surrounded Pyongyang!" ”“

What the! When Li Shimin heard this, he was very excited, and immediately someone went down to retrieve the letter, and the other ministers were also happy, Pyongyang won a great victory, destroying more than 200,000 enemies, and basically laid the foundation for the war against Goguryeo.

"Yes, another letter, an urgent letter from His Majesty written by Hu Guogong!" The captain spoke.

"Okay, sit down, come here, get water immediately, let him rest first!" Li Shimin said happily, and the other ministers were all looking at Li Shimin, because Li Shimin was already reading the letter at this moment!

"Okay, okay, haha, God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the Tang Dynasty, I was worried that it might take several years to fight against Goguryeo, but now it seems that before the winter of this year, this problem will definitely be solved, come on, read!" After Li Shimin read Qin Huaidao's letter, he was very happy, he knew that after this battle, Goguryeo would basically lose the country, and there was no need to fight at all!

"Yes!" When a lieutenant heard it, he immediately took the letter and began to read it, and those ministers listened carefully, hearing Qin Huaidao say that he fought for a day and a night, killed more than 200,000 enemies, and captured more than 50,000 at the same time, and also surrounded the royal capital of Goguryeo, such a feat can be said to be very high.

"Okay, congratulations to Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about fighting Goguryeo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a proper command, as Hu Guogong said, if it is not for His Royal Highness the Prince's deployment in advance, this battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, and now it can completely annihilate the guerrilla troops of Goguryeo, it can be said that there are no troops that can be reinforced in the entire Goguryeo, and our troops just need to go over and attack their city!" Li Ji stood up at this moment and congratulated Li Shimin.

"Well, this kid is still a little more honest, Gao Ming has merit, but it's not as big as Peping said!" Li Shimin said with a smile,

Qin Huaidao wrote all the credits of Li Chengqian in front, of course Li Shimin is clear, this is mainly the credit of Su Dingfang and Qin Huaidao, but Qin Huaidao did not mention the credit of himself and Su Dingfang, there is no need to write this, Su Dingfang has no opinion, on the contrary, he also hopes that Qin Huaidao will write like this, anyway, the credit of the two of them, Li Shimin has a number in his heart, there is no need to mention it!

"Well, but it's still the credit of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the boss, and if there is no deployment from His Royal Highness the Prince, it won't be able to fight!" Li Ji also stood there and said.

"Yes, without the deployment and command of the crown prince, how can it be possible to win?" Cheng Yanjin also said happily, and the other ministers also echoed,

However, many ministers don't feel good in their hearts, they don't want Qin Huaidao to make meritorious contributions, and it is such a great merit, they all know that Qin Huaidao will be the representative of the army in the future, plus Qin Huaidao's current status in the court, in the future, the army will definitely receive more attention, those civilian officials don't want the army to be too strong, they want to be able to dominate the court, and they don't want those martial artists to participate in the future!

"Well, Your Majesty, this good news should be seen by the people of the whole country, and tomorrow we can completely let our daily newspaper publish this!" Fang Xuanling said very happily at this moment.

"That's right, that's how it should be, this thing, log out! This battle is estimated to be very difficult, but we still won! Li Shimin said very happily, and then began to open the second letter, and after unfolding it, he looked at it carefully, and after reading it for a while, Li Shimin frowned.

"This rabbit cub, why is he so small, what are you afraid of, just fight, what to talk about with them, what to talk about, this kid, usually sees things very thoroughly, why is he confused when he arrives here!" Li Shimin looked at it, and his mouth was angry, and the others didn't know what Qin Huaidao had written, how could Li Shimin talk so much?

"Read it!" Li Shimin said and continued to give the letter to the captain, and the lieutenant began to read it.

"This, peace talks, it is impossible to negotiate with them now!" Li Ji heard it and was the first to object.

"That's right, they're about to die until they die, what are you talking to them about now? Just hit it! The other generals also shouted at this moment.

And at this moment, Gao Shilian and the others are sitting there and considering, in their opinion, the treasure king had no power before, those powers were all Yuangai Suwen, and now the treasure king said that he wanted to negotiate and was willing to cede so much land out, they thought it was okay to negotiate, in addition, they also considered the matter of indoctrination and etiquette and civilization, so some civil officials considered to agree!

"This kid, he doesn't know anything, just fight, what are you talking about?" Li Shimin also nodded and said to those generals.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame Pepin for this, but the Treasure King came out with your holy decree and gold book, how dare Peping fight?" Li Ji said with a smile at the moment, thinking in his heart that Qin Huaidao was right to do this, if he didn't do this, he would be known by the time came, come here to impeach Qin Huaidao, enough for Qin Huaidao to drink a pot!

"It's not necessary at all, he didn't listen to us before, and now he takes out these things, what can he do, he can ignore it at all!" Li Shimin still waved his hand and said, thinking that Qin Huaidao was too timid and completely unnecessary.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Hu Guogong's consideration is right, the matter of the death of the country still needs to be considered clearly, after all, Goguryeo is different from the northwest, and Goguryeo did not invade our land, but he did not listen to our orders. In addition, at that time, it was Yuangai Suwen who was in power, but now that we have defeated them, if the Treasure King can take power and obey our orders at the same time, I think it is possible to negotiate! At this moment, Gao Shilian stood up and said to Li Shimin!

"That's right, the minister also thinks that it can be negotiated, the Goguryeo side, after all, is poor and bad, and it is useless for us to control it, if we continue to fight, it is not good to spread it, I still have so many vassal countries in Datang, let them be vigilant when the time comes, and at the same time it is not good for us to deviate from morality!" Xiao Yu also got up and said to Li Shimin.

"What nonsense? What kind of centrifugal departure, since the war has begun, it is to fight until the other side dies, otherwise, we sacrificed so many Erlang in Goguryeo, wouldn't it be in vain, Goguryeo looks harmless to our side, but it is really hateful, they have violated our yang and yin from the beginning,

Now there is a chance to let them go to the country, and can you let them go? You know, how much material will we need to fight, and how much will it cost if they rebel again? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and now you can solve this matter, you have to solve it completely, the minister suggests not to talk about it, just let Peping continue to fight, don't worry about it at all! Cheng Yanjin stood up, glanced at the civil officials, and then said to Li Shimin.

"However, if you continue to fight, it will still cost a lot of money, and if you are warlike, you will die, and since you have achieved the purpose of the lesson, why fight to the death? There are not many people in those places, and besides, it is an extremely cold place, and agriculture cannot be carried out, so why spend a lot of money? Gao Shilian looked at Cheng Yanjin and asked.

"I don't care what you think, anyway, you have to fight, since you fight, you have to beat the other party to death, if you don't kill them, then what else will you fight, will you fight again in a few decades?" Cheng Yanjin also got into a fight with Gao Shilian,

And Fang Xuanling didn't speak, although he was a civil official, he still considered the problem very clearly, but now that Gao Shilian has spoken, Fang Xuanling is a little difficult to say!

"Since there are different opinions, let's discuss them, right? Is it a fight or a draw? Li Shimin sat on it, looked at those ministers and said, although he already had a plan in his heart, he still needed to listen to what the ministers below said, otherwise, it would be too arbitrary, and it would not be good!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the purpose of the peace talks and teaching Goguryeo has been achieved, there is no need to let them lose the country, we can let the people of Honglu Temple go over, assist Hu Guogong in negotiations, and divide the border, it's okay!" Gao Shilian arched his hand to Li Shimin and said.

"The minister also agrees with the statement of the right servant, after all, if we continue to fight, we will also control more land, but my Datang is now in the northwest, there is still a lot of land, no one lives, there is no need for so much, in addition, if Goguryeo is allowed to die, it may make other vassal countries have other ideas, but it is not good for our Datang!

Before we destroyed Tibet, there were many countries that had opinions, and now we want to let Goguryeo die, I'm afraid that other countries will start to be wary of our Tang Dynasty, which is very inappropriate! Gao Cheng also stood up at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we must continue to fight, although there are still difficulties on our side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but since we have fought, we will have to completely subdue the place, so that they will never have a chance to turn over, so that they can stop, if they negotiate, Goguryeo still has half of the country, so they still have a chance!" Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Yes, just don't give them any chance!" Cheng Yanjin also nodded and said, and then the ministers below also began to argue,

On Wenchen's side, Tang Jian and Li Daliang agreed to continue fighting, strictly speaking, they are not considered civilian officials, they were also military generals before,

And Fang Xuanling has not spoken, he knows that it is useless to fight for this now, His Majesty has considered it in his heart, he said before that he was going to lose the country, and he was also very well prepared, if he stopped at this moment, don't say that Li Shimin disagrees, even Li Chengqian and those soldiers on the front line will not agree.

"Liang Guogong, what about your considerations?" Li Shimin saw that Fang Xuanling hadn't spoken, so he looked at him and asked.

"Ah, Your Majesty, I mean to continue fighting, of course, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide, after all, now Hu Guogong is a rat thrower, and the Treasure King has Your Majesty's holy decree and gold book, and His Majesty did indeed canonize him as the king of Goguryeo, Peping will definitely not dare to kill him,

If we want to stop, it is indeed a pity, we are all ready for battle, and we have been preparing for two years before, and now it has only been carried out for less than two months, so we have to stop, I believe that those soldiers on the front line will also be dissatisfied, and please consider it carefully! Fang Xuanling stood up and said, he also wanted to fight, but he didn't say too much, because he found that there are so many ministers who oppose it now, and they are all against continuing to fight, Li Shimin sat there and thought about it when he heard it.

"Zuo Servant Shot, it's not right for you to do this, the so-called knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, now the Treasure King has come to say that he wants to negotiate peace, if he can control Goguryeo, then we can completely negotiate peace, if he can't control Goguryeo, then when we want to make peace, just add an article, let Yuan Gai Suwen's head,

I believe that the Goguryeo side will definitely kill Yuangai Suwen, and now that the battle is like this, the Goguryeo side must hope for peace talks, otherwise, they will not let the Treasure King out, since he is released, then, the Treasure King will have the possibility of taking power! Gao Shilian stood up and refuted Fang Xuanling's words.

"Right servant, I don't agree with your words..."Li Ji also began to refute when he heard it,

But in the court, the voice of the generals is still a little weaker, especially now that many generals are not in the capital, they either go to the front line, or they are stationed in the barracks, and now their voices are still not good!

After Li Ji finished speaking, another Wenchen also stood up and refuted Li Ji's words, anyway, it was just a sentence, they wanted peace talks, they didn't want to continue fighting, and they didn't know how they reached a tacit understanding, they just didn't want Qin Huaidao to continue to make meritorious contributions, they all knew that if Qin Huaidao continued to make meritorious contributions, no one in the court would be able to have such prestige as Qin Huaidao in the future, so they needed to suppress Qin Huaidao!

"Alright, I'm thinking about it! Don't fight! Li Shimin saw that so many ministers were opposed, and his heart was also irritable, this was different from what he thought, he originally thought that every official would be happy to destroy Goguryeo, but he didn't expect that there were so many people who disagreed!

Soon, it was announced that he would go to the next court, although there was still this matter bothering him, but he was still happy in his heart, now the matter of Goguryeo, it must be able to be solved, no matter how it is solved, the initiative is in the hands of Datang,

The other is that if he really defeats Goguryeo, then he will surpass too many emperors in terms of martial arts, needless to say Emperor Yang of Sui, the key is that the position of the prince is also stable, and his control over the military aspect is also strong.

"Come on, get ready, I want to leave the palace and go to the mansion of the Duke of Hu, I want to see those grandsons and granddaughters!" Not long after he went down to the court, Li Shimin said that he was going to Hu Guogong's mansion, mainly because now Qin Huaidao was fighting outside, and there were some female dependents at home.

Soon, Li Lixian received a notice, and immediately asked people to start cleaning, and at the same time began to prepare all kinds of food, and some fruits were all brought out, it happened that Qin Shandao was fine today, so today, he needed to receive Li Shimin on behalf of Qin Huaidao.
