When Li Shimin heard that Yang Hongli had something to do with Li Chengqian, he thought that Li Chengqian had written the letter to him and made it public at the same time, so he immediately shouted: "Rebel dares!" Spread Yang Hongli Jin to see. ”

Yang Hongli had actually heard Li Shimin's movements inside, thinking that Li Chengqian had written a letter to tell Li Shimin about the contents of the recital at the same time, which caused Li Shimin to be furious.

"Minister Yang Hongli see Your Majesty." Yang Hongli came in and saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was angry at this time, and he could also take care of the minister's etiquette, and said angrily: "That rebel is really getting more and more bold." As he spoke, Li Chengqian's letter to him was thrown down.

Yang Hongli saw that Li Shimin neither let him calm down nor ask anything, so he threw the letter paper directly, thinking that he had guessed correctly, and did not say anything else, and directly took out Li Chengqian's performance and held it in his hand.

The attendants in the palace hurriedly picked up the letter and passed it to Yang Hongli, and then took it and forwarded it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin thought that the content of the letter was the same, so he didn't look at it and threw it aside, looked at Yang Hongli with round eyes, and said in a cold voice: "This rebel is simply lawless, I must punish him severely this time, don't think that he is the crown prince and has meritorious deeds, he can point fingers at me and the government, as long as I am still alive, no one in the Tang Dynasty will say anything, one by one......"

The more Li Shimin spoke, the more angry he became, and in Yang Hongli's suspicious gaze, Huo Ran stood up, walked to the bookcase, walked back and forth in the hall a few times, and suddenly stopped and pointed to the door of the hall and said loudly: "Someone came to spread my will, and sent someone to beat Chengqian's rebel son Twenty Boards, I want to see who still makes irresponsible remarks about me?"

The more Li Shimin thought about it at this time, the more angry he became, if Li Chengqian only wrote him a letter and explained his views to him in private, even if his tone was disrespectful, he would be embarrassed to mention it to outsiders, and he would be sulking for a while and find an opportunity to clean up Li Chengqian.

But this kind of thing made the minister know that if he didn't say anything, the minister would use it to oppose his eastward expedition to Goguryeo, which was suspected of buying people's hearts and undermining his prestige.

Li Shimin really wants to beat Li Chengqian hard now, of course, there is also a purpose is to kill chickens and respect monkeys, because Li Shimin has always flaunted a wide range of views, it is not easy to directly attack the ministers who admonish, but Li Chengqian can be beaten at will.

The use of the crown prince to establish authority is also to show the ministers that his attitude towards the eastward expedition to Goguryeo is firm, and the ministers who want to advise them should consider it.

"Your Majesty, by all means! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led the troops to destroy the Xue Yantuo Khan's tent this time, which is a great achievement for the country and the family, and it is originally a matter of duty for Shangshu to advise and govern the place, although because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has less experience in discussing state affairs or there is something inappropriate, how can His Majesty be so severely punished when he is kind to teach him?"

Yang Hongli hurriedly advised, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to advise, otherwise even if Li Chengqian didn't speak, the princelings would not let him go.

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Yang Hongli, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Yang Aiqing also thinks what the prince said is inappropriate?"

Yang Hongli didn't know what to do, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall north of the big river, and also build a straight road, and force the Yi people to change their ......."

"Huh?"

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, walked to the side of the small table in two or three steps, picked up Li Chengqian's recital, and began to take a closer look.

Seeing this, Yang Hongli also hurriedly lowered his head to look at the letter that Li Shimin forwarded to them, and Yang Hongli immediately regretted that he had come to see Li Shimin at this time as soon as he saw the content of the letter.

Sure enough, when Yang Hongli raised his head and wanted to explain something, he saw Li Shimin staring at him with burning eyes.

"Yang Hongli, how dare you be good at reading the private letter that the prince wrote to me?" Li Shimin's voice was cold and authentic.

"Your Majesty, your majesty, your minister, your minister, your minister don't know." Yang Hongli was also frightened, this crime can be big or small, everything depends on Li Shimin's mood.

"Humph! Why don't you just report something?" Li Shimin has a feeling of being a dog at this time, and it was enough to be taught by his son, but he still let others know.

Yang Hongli looked at Li Shimin's expression and knew that the matter was not explained clearly, although he felt that he was very wronged, he could only change the topic and said: "Weichen also just received a note from His Royal Highness the Prince, and felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suggested that there would be other moves, so he hurriedly came to ask His Majesty to issue a decree to prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from acting rashly and disturbing the covenant that the Tang Dynasty was talking with the Hui and other ministries." ”

Li Shimin sat down calmly when he heard this, looked at Yang Hongli, who was still standing in the room, and pointed to the seat next to him and ordered him to sit down, and then said angrily: "It is not wrong for Cheng Qian to govern the Hetao, and he can let him govern it well as soon as he can defeat it." ”

"Your Majesty, rebuilding the Great Wall of Qin and the straight road requires a lot of people's and material resources, and forcing Zhuyi to change its obedience is easy to provoke a backlash from Zhuyi, but I am afraid that there will be endless disasters!" Yang Hongli said bitterly.

"The general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, not to mention that Cheng Qian is still the crown prince, if he really wants to do something, do you think my order at this time will be useful?" Li Shimin still said calmly. At this time, he had already figured out how to use this matter to achieve his goal of conquering Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty......" Yang Hongli said with a face full of embarrassment.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth showed a mocking smile, and he took out Wei Chigong's recital from the table and motioned for the waiter to hand it to Yang Hongli.

Yang Hongli saw that it was another letter and had to open it to read, and when he saw that Wei Chigong wrote that Li Chengqian had imprisoned all the twenty or thirty thousand Xue Yantuo soldiers in the ice city and froze to death, he felt frightened.

Looking at the fact that Li Chengqian was also preparing to summon the leaders of the Turks, Dang Xiangqiang, and Zhaowu Jiu surnames in the Hetao area to go to Kongduigou to congratulate him on his attack on Xue Yantuo's Khan's tent, he knew that Li Chengqian would make a big move.

Busy with Captain Chi Gong's recital, he advised Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned the leaders of all departments to go to the camp of Kongdui River at this time, obviously to threaten the barbarians of all departments. ”

"Hmph"

Li Shimin just snorted disdainfully when he heard this.

Yang Hongli thought that he was not talking nonsense, and hurriedly continued: "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will threaten the heads of the various departments, and I am afraid that it will backfire if he makes any further requests, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, please Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not do it, and do not move lightly." ”

Li Shimin looked at Yang Hongli and saw that he was very anxious, so he asked lightly: "Why can't Cheng Qian govern this place?"

Yang Hongli said with a straight face when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this is a hairy land, and this place is all inhabited by Yidi, and it is really futile to govern with the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no benefit to the imperial court......"

What Yang Hongli said was similar to what Li Shimin thought, the population of the Kanto region at this time in the Tang Dynasty was far less than that of the former Sui Dynasty, so how could it be possible to spend waste effort to govern the Hetao area.

However, Li Shimin didn't want Yang Hongli to get his wish at this time, he knew that the ministers would definitely oppose it, but now that Li Chengqian was leading the troops, there was no way for ordinary people to take him except himself.

And with what Li Chengqian did, it is very likely that it will cause a greater war in the near future, which the courtiers absolutely do not want to see, so if he wants to make an order to transfer Li Chengqian back, the only way to support him in his eastward expedition to Goguryeo.

After planning this, Li Shimin was noncommittal about Yang Hongli's statement: "In this case, it is better to summon all the ministers to discuss it." ”

Yang Hongli looked at Li Shimin with an expressionless face when he heard this, and thought to himself, Does Your Majesty want to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

After a while, he thought that other ministers would definitely oppose Li Chengqian, and hurriedly said: "Obey the order!" Then he went out and gathered the ministers who were in the works. u
