As I said earlier, Gongyi used to be Luoyang, and the distance was only one hundred and forty miles. Two days have already arrived, Cai Cong didn't even enter the city, got on the boat directly from the dock, and went straight to Chang'an.

The Chang'an side is arguing, the Turkic civil strife, the Turks have already expressed their submission, and they will lead the tribe to defect to the Tang Dynasty when they find an opportunity.

On a full moon night, he cut off the head of Jieli's envoy and began to resist, calling himself the Wolf Khan, but unfortunately his means were too far behind Jieli, and now he is retreating.

However, when someone rises up, the people of the world will obey, and the Turks are now in chaos, relying on force to suppress various tribes.

Under such circumstances, those people in the court naturally couldn't sit still, and they wrote letters to ask for troops to be sent to the Turks. Taking this opportunity to break through Jieli's tent is the greatest wish in the heart of every general.

And some ministers are keenly aware that now is not the time, if a war is launched at this moment, the Turks will inevitably abandon their previous suspicions and fight against the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the dispatch of troops not only failed to destroy the Turks, but helped Jieli unite people's hearts.

So they tried their best to oppose the war, Dai Xuan stated the ten points of non-war, impassionedly detailed the reasons for not being able to send troops, and was spit in the face by Cheng Biting Jin.

Wei Chi Gong was shameless, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth because he had blocked the sword for the emperor and saved the emperor back then, and if he wanted to fight the Turks, he had to let himself lead the troops, so that he would be clear.

Fang Xuanling's spitting Wei Chigong was all over his face, now he is talking about whether to send troops or not, not who will lead the troops, don't confuse the public.

Can Wei Chigong suffer this loss? immediately scolded, and for a while there was a miasma of noise in the court, if it wasn't for Li Shimin's suppression, I am afraid that a fight would have started.

Li Shimin looked at the quarrel below, but he didn't stop it, His Majesty needed grace and power, and even more balance. What started as a messy quarrel turned into a civilian-military dispute.

This is what Li Shimin wants to see the most, if the civil and military are reconciled, he will not be sure.

As soon as a ship docked at Weishui Wharf, horses jumped up and flew towards the city gate. Someone wanted to scold, but when he saw the man on the horse with a feather on his head and a blood-colored cloak, he was immediately frightened and silent.

When the soldiers at the gate of the city saw that someone was riding on horseback and wanted to intercept them, they saw that it was eight hundred miles in a hurry, and immediately drove the people away with their spears, and opened the way for the messenger to gallop. When he arrived at the palace gate, he unloaded his weapons and hurried to the council hall non-stop.

"Report, 800 miles urgent. Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited......" a louder announcement, so that the quarrels in the court stopped, who used eight hundred miles to expedit? Could it be that something happened on the frontier?

"Report, eight hundred miles expedited, Shandong General Moderation Cai Cong Cai's expedited paperwork. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a big deal like the frontier. I heard that Cai Cong is about to arrive in Chang'an, and he used 800 miles to expedite it, which is simply hateful.

The last assassination represented Li Shimin's face, and he could naturally be expedited for 800 miles, but if there was no convincing reason this time, Yushi would definitely impeach Cai Cong.

"Bring it on!"

Li Shimin said majestically, and immediately a chamberlain took the paperwork, and after checking it, it was confirmed that there was no problem before presenting it to the emperor.

Li Shimin was silent after reading it, the method of salt control made him happy, Li Youliang Yu didn't care about the party, he didn't care if Gan Xinda died, what he cared about was Cai Cong's thoughts.

If Cai Cong has bad thoughts about him because of Gan Xinda, how can he make up for it? At this moment, Li Shimin wanted to make amends, not to strangle Cai Cong, which shows how high Cai Cong's status is in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what it means to be in a hurry?" Du Ruhui stood up and asked, if you abuse the words of urgency, you will be punished with a cane.

"Chang'an Bolu was attacked by Li Youliang's remnants, and in order to protect him, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and Chang'an Bo asked for more compensation."

Li Shimin said leisurely, and Du Ruhui immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, such a trivial matter is also rushed with 800 miles, it is a waste of crossbow coins, and the minister asks the staff to blame Uncle An."

It's true that this is a waste of money and food, and it is urgent for eight hundred miles, and no matter the pedestrians and officials, they must be avoided. If you don't let it, you will be killed by a horse, and those who ride horses are not guilty.

"Don't rush to make a conclusion, Chang'an Bo said in a compromise that there is a way to cure salt, which can turn poisonous salt into green salt, if this method is successful, my Datang will no longer have salt trouble." Li Shimin said with a sad look, and the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be stopped anymore.

Salt is a scarce commodity in the Tang Dynasty, the salt boiled by the sea and the salt from the salt wells of the huge empire are not enough at all, and the Turks have cut off the salt road in Qinghai, which makes the people of the Tang Dynasty want to eat salt every day is a luxury.

"Is Your Majesty serious?" Before Du Ruhui could speak, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji asked in unison.

"The method of salt control has been attached to the compromise, and you only need to try it to know the truth or falsehood." Li Shimin said with a smile, with salt, his soldiers will no longer be weak in their hands and feet, and will become stronger and stronger.

"How many people are waiting for Ling Yu?" Du Ruhui turned to look at the messenger and asked.

"The little four." The messenger was startled and said without thinking.

"They took him down, and separated the four of them, and did not have the slightest contact with them, and did not allow anyone to speak to them, and did not treat them badly when they ate and drank."

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he turned around and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has a great deal at stake, the minister has overstepped in this palace, and the minister asks for punishment." ”

"Hehe, Aiqing is guilty of this, he should act like this." Li Shimin said with satisfaction that what he admired most about Du Ruhui was his decisiveness. If it weren't for the eighteen bachelors forcing the palace last year, how could he make up his mind to fight Li Jiancheng to the death? And the person who took the lead at that time was Du Ruhui in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Chang'an Bo only brought two thousand soldiers, and there were constant turmoil along the way, so it was better to send someone to meet him!" Du Ruhui said loudly, he wanted to clean up Cai Cong just now, but now he treats Cai Cong as a treasure, this is the hero of Lingyuan Pavilion, not the right person.

"Hehe, this is not necessary, if I am not wrong, Cai Cong is already on the Grand Canal at the moment, and he will be able to reach Chang'an in two days, and try this salt control method first, if it is successful, he should send the prince out of the city for thirty miles to greet him."

Li Shimin said with a smile, he is eighty percent sure that this will not succeed, Cai Cong is not the kind of person who has no purpose, if it is not successful, he will not let it go. The remaining two percent, he was afraid that Cai Cong would be angry in his heart and deliberately hide it.

"This move is very good, if it is successful, the old minister will also go out of the city with the prince to greet him." Li Gang stroked his beard and shook his head and said, if this matter is successful in Qianqiu, he, the old man, will go out of the city to greet him, and Cai Cong can bear it.

"Then I have to go! This is a real person who has attained enlightenment, and the fugue is too empty! I've long wanted to learn immortal law from a teacher. Wei Chi Gong said like a bell, and his voice was loud, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and then said lightly: "Then let's wait here, let people try this salt control method first, if Prince Cheng and Master Li still have Jingde, they will go out of the city for thirty miles to greet each other." ”

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and Yan Dong led Fang Zi to retreat. The monarchs and ministers in the palace are still discussing the government, but they are somewhat absent-minded, if this recipe is successful, it will certainly benefit the future, but the impact is also extremely huge, how many large salt merchants will be shuffled?

You don't see that the salt of the Qing Dynasty after a thousand years is under the control of the state, and if there is this salt recipe now, the pattern will inevitably change greatly. Li Shimin was also a little distracted, he was already thinking about how much benefit he could extract from the mouths of which families if this salt recipe was completed.

After more than an hour in this strange atmosphere, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall. Yan Dong held a plate wrapped in silk cloth with salt grains on it.
