"Then who do you think Aiqing can do this?"

Li Yuan said this, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to step forward.

If Gyeongju was still in his hands, it would not be difficult to repel Tuyuhun, but now that Gyeongju has been lost, it will not be easy for them to take Gyeongju back from Tuyuhun's hands.

If you don't have the confidence to recapture Gyeongju, then it's better not to take this errand, otherwise it will affect the future.

No matter how brave and belligerent the generals of the Tang Dynasty are, they also have to consider it when facing interests.

Li Jiancheng stood in the crowd, very hesitant.

He wanted to make meritorious service and control the army, but he also knew that his father would not let him do this, and if he was too eager, it would be more likely to arouse his father's suspicion.

Li Yuan saw that the entire hall suddenly fell silent, his brows condensed slightly, and he shouted: "Now that I ask you who you want to lead the troops, why don't you speak?" ”

The ministers looked around, Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and stood up: "Father, the sons are willing to lead the troops to the battle." ”

Li Yuan glared at him: "As a prince, you should stay in Chang'an at this time, why do you need to go on the expedition?" ”

Even if Gyeongju has been lost, Li Yuan will not risk letting Li Jiancheng go, his own son makes him very uneasy.

And at this time, an official stood up and said, "Holy Lord, why don't you let King Qin lead the troops?" ”

After the official stood up, the others hurriedly followed.

"Yes, Holy Lord, let King Qin lead the troops."

"King Qin is okay......"

Everyone said, Li Jiancheng's cheeks were flushed, Li Yuan pondered, although Li Shimin also has ambitions, but even if he is allowed to control the military power, it will be difficult for him to set off too much turmoil, after all, he is not rightly named, and he is different from the prince.

Thinking like this, Li Yuan felt that Li Shimin was feasible, and now in the entire Tang Dynasty, he was afraid that only Li Shimin could take back Gyeongju.

"Since all of you Aiqing think that the King of Qin can lead the troops, then pass on my will and let the King of Qin immediately mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses to recapture Gyeongju."

After Li Yuan's order was issued, palace people immediately rushed to the Qin Palace.

It's just that when the palace people came to the Qin Palace, Li Shimin was lying on the bed recuperating.

"The king is unwell, so he can't get up and take the order."

Gong said: "Lord, the Holy Lord wants you to lead the troops to recapture Gyeongju." ”

"When I went back and told my father, I said that the king was unwell, and I was afraid that I would live up to his old man's love."

"Lord Wang, this ...... It's a bit of a dilemma. ”

"Is that going to embarrass the king?"

Li Shimin's tone was cold, and the palace people were startled, and they didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurried back to the palace.

At this time, the court had retired, and Li Yuan was handling government affairs in the imperial study.

"Coming back?" Seeing the palace people, Li Yuan asked, and the palace people said: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the King of Qin refuses to lead the troops." ”

"What?" Li Yuan was a little strange, in his opinion, Li Shimin should especially want to lead the troops, why did he say that he didn't want to lead the troops at this time?

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is sick, and he said that he can't lead the soldiers."

Li Yuan frowned, so dignified, how could this son of his not be sick at other times, but he was sick at this time?

Li Yuan still understands his son, and after thinking for a while, Li Yuan ordered: "Go and call the King of Qin to the palace." ”

"Whoa!"

The palace people retreated, and soon arrived at the Qin Palace, this time, no matter whether the Qin King Li Shimin was sick or not, the palace people must get him into the palace.

Li Shimin postponed it several times, but finally went.

His goal will soon be achieved, and he will only make concessions for himself to gain more benefits.

Li Shimin pretended to be sick and entered the palace, after seeing Li Yuan, he hurriedly saluted, his movements were slow and difficult, Li Yuan looked at his son performing, he wanted to laugh, but he wanted to be angry.

"Okay, there's no one else here, just our father and son, don't pretend."

"Father, son, ......"

"If you pretend again, don't blame your father for being unkind."

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said: "Father, the sons are also good for my Tang Dynasty, but now the sons and daughters really can't lead the troops, and they can't win if they do, and they can't harm my Tang boys." ”

This is a reason why he is pretending to be sick, although it is not a sincere reason, but it is better to say this, he can't win, and he doesn't want to hurt people.

Li Yuan snorted: "You are the best among my sons, how can you not win?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Father, if you want to lead the troops to fight, you must first know the soldiers, and the soldiers can be used. Father, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan somewhat understood what Li Shimin meant.

"What do you want?"

"Erchen can't lead the troops, unless Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong are sent to Erchen, so that Erchen can be sure of victory."

If he had agreed to lead the troops from the beginning, Li Shimin was afraid that he would not be able to gather his own people together, but now that he has retreated, everything will be much easier.

This battle has to rely on him Li Shimin, and Li Yuan has no other better choice.

The imperial study fell silent, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, if Wei Chigong and the others all served under Li Shimin again, Li Shimin's power would definitely grow again and fight against the crown prince.

In that case, will there be some instability?

But after thinking about it, Li Yuan felt that it was not a big deal, as long as he did not abolish the crown prince, Li Shimin would always be the king of Qin, what could he do?

And today's war, Li Shimin has to be, it is better to let Li Shimin solve Tuyuhun first.

"Wang Er is right, you have no generals available, so it is naturally difficult to win, okay, I will let you recruit soldiers and horses, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao can do it."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If my father can do this, the ministers will make a military order here, if they can't recapture Gyeongju, repel Tuyuhun, and let them bow down to my Tang Dynasty, and the sons and daughters will be willing to be dealt with by military law." ”

Li Yuan bowed: "Okay, my father is waiting for the good news of your triumphant return." ”

After the father and son finished saying this, Li Shimin left the palace, and it didn't take long for the news that Li Shimin was going to lead the troops to spread in Chang'an City.

After Li Jiancheng heard the news, he immediately frowned and was shocked.

"What, my father agreed that he would mobilize all his generals together?"

"Yes, otherwise King Qin would not lead the troops, and now Tugu is rampant, and there is no way for the saint."

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists tightly, he didn't expect that he had worked hard for so long, and finally transferred Li Shimin's people away, never thinking that after a war, all his efforts would be in vain.
