All along, Qin Tian felt that Qin Shubao was a very smart person.

And if a person is very smart, he should know what to ask and what not to ask.

Obviously, Qin Shubao was pretending to be confused this time.

That assassin was easily caught, and there was only one, could it be sent by Yan Wang Luo Yi?

But there are many things in this world, so why care about whether it is true or false, whether it is wronged or not?

Luo Yi's existence threatens the Tang Dynasty, so he has to be eliminated, the assassin is just an excuse for Li Shimin, whether Luo Yi admits it or not, it doesn't matter.

The cold wind was howling, and Qin Shubao looked at Qin Tian, as if he was still waiting for Qin Tian's answer.

Qin Tian was entangled for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, that assassin was naturally sent by King Yan, does Father-in-law think there is anything wrong with this?" Luo Yi put the Turks into my Datang, how much loss did it cause to my Datang? That was almost the disaster of destroying the country, if it weren't for the Holy Lord's suspicious array, as long as the Turks did not retreat and attacked directly, then the stability of my Datang would still be able to exist? There is Luo Yi in the land of Youzhou, which is the trouble of my Tang Dynasty, and now he has sent someone to assassinate the saint, can he not be destroyed? ”

Sometimes, it's time to cheat.

In other words, the fact that the assassin was sent by Luo Yi is absolutely impossible to admit even if everyone knows that it is fake.

Qin Tian said this in the hope that Qin Shubao could understand that Luo Yi must be removed, otherwise Datang would not be able to experience the second Turkic entry.

Qin Shubao's expression gradually dimmed, although he had already guessed everything before he came, but at this time, hearing Qin Tian say this, he felt more and more powerless.

"King Yan is the uncle of his father-in-law, and his father-in-law can't bear it, this is normal, this is also human nature, but in front of his family and country, he also asks his father-in-law to endure it temporarily."

Qin Shubao sighed lightly and said: "That's it, this kind of thing, the righteous father can't do it, I only ask you for one thing, if King Yan is willing to surrender, please spare his life, I think, for Luo Cheng's son Luo Tong, you won't do it, right?" ”

Since it is impossible to avoid sending troops to Youzhou, then Qin Shubao can only retreat to the next best thing and save Luo Yi and Luo Cheng's lives, the corners of Qin Tian's mouth moved slightly, and said: "Our purpose is to control Youzhou, not to kill people, if Luo Yi is really willing to surrender, just don't kill him, what if he gives him a wealth and nobility, this father-in-law can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shubao breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two talked like this again, Qin Shubao retreated, and Qin Tian returned to the backyard here and told the Ninth Princess about the situation.

It's just that after hearing this, the ninth princess shook her head: "If you want Luo Yi to surrender, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Qin Tian didn't say anything, because this was not an easy thing to do, if the Tang army was seriously damaged, even if Luo Yi really surrendered, he would not spare him.

War is inherently cruel, and politics does not need sympathy.

"Get ready, when Sister Ah is born, I'm leaving."

After Qin Tian finished speaking, he went down to make some arrangements, Hu Shibai and the others wanted to talk about it, and the Mad Demon Army also wanted to talk about it here.

----------------

Just when the imperial court was preparing to send troops to Youzhou, Li Shimin in the imperial study room was in another situation.

"Holy Lord, after the Shangyuan Festival, it's time to prepare New Year's coins for the Turks."

In February every year, Datang will prepare the New Year's coins for the Turks and send someone to send them, which was said during the Weishui Alliance, and these New Year's coins made Datang's beginning of the year very sad.

Because as soon as the New Year's coins are given, Datang has no money left.

Every time he heard this, Li Shimin's heart hurt, the silver of the white flowers was given to the Turks like this, if there was no Weishui Alliance, he would not have lived so hard in the past two years.

If there was no Weishui Alliance, the current Datang would be quite wealthy.

Of course, today's people can live a good life, but the court has no money, and the court has no money, and many things cannot be done.

This has constrained the development of Datang.

Now, the eldest grandson Wuji came to remind him of this matter again, Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Auxiliary machine, after pacifying Youzhou this year, next year, my Datang will almost be able to launch an attack on the Turks, do you think this year's New Year's coins can still be given?" ”

Li Shimin is reluctant to give it, and if he doesn't give it this year, this money will be of great help to expand military supplies or something.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Shimin and said: "Shengshang, if we don't give it, when we attack Youzhou, the Turks are afraid that they will have to help Luo Yi, and at that time, it is not easy for us to capture Youzhou." ”

"If you give it, won't he help the Turks?"

"At least it won't be obvious."

Li Shimin walked back and forth in the imperial study, and after a while, he said: "Send someone to negotiate with the Turks, just say that my Datang will give half of it first, and after destroying Luo Yi, as long as they don't interfere with the Turks, we will give the other half, otherwise, don't talk about it." ”

Using the New Year's coins to contain the Turks' help to Luo Yi, this method is a bit risky, and it is easy to anger the Turks, but if it is all given and the Turks still help, then their Datang losses will be great.

And if successful, they can avoid a lot of trouble.

After hearing Li Shimin's arrangement, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything, and responded directly.

After the eldest grandson Wuji came down, he did not leave.

"Shengshang, Qin Tian led the troops to attack Youzhou, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while and a half, the affairs of Shangshu Province, but I can't help but do it, the last time because he went to the alpine pasture and waited for Meng Meng to be born, it caused many things in the six departments to not work, and now for such a long time, here in Shangshu Province, it is necessary to find someone to temporarily manage things."

There are a lot of things in Shangshu Province, and without Qin Tian's presence, it must be operated, otherwise the entire Tang Dynasty will be chaotic, and the eldest grandson Wuji, as the prime minister, needs to consider this situation.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Yes, what do you think of the auxiliary machine, who can replace Qin Tian and do this?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Then wait a minute, anyway, Qin Tian will leave in a few days, choose a time to discuss this matter in the morning court." ”

"Whoa!"

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished talking to Li Shimin like this, he finally turned around and left.

And just after the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Datang is going to war again, almost two years of preparation, Datang's strength has been improved, this time, can Datang succeed in one fell swoop and destroy Luo Yi in Youzhou?

To tell the truth, Li Shimin himself has no bottom in his heart, because Luo Yi has occupied Youzhou for many years, and the place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yang Lin, the backer of the Sui Dynasty, once sent 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack, but it was unsuccessful, Qin Tian's 35,000 soldiers and horses, can it work?
