Chapter 127: Imperial Discussion

Time: Just as Li Zhen was preparing to continue the expedition and attack Linyi.

Location: Chang'an, Daxing Palace, Imperial Study.

Characters: Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Shinan, Tang Jian, etc.

Event: Discuss the government.

"Hasn't the news reached Lin Yi yet?" Li Shimin stood back and forth behind the imperial case, looking anxious, which is difficult to see in Li Shimin, who is known for his stability, which shows how anxious he is in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there is no news." Du Ruhui whispered beside him: "According to the news of the Green Cavalry, once our messenger leaves Chang'an, he will lose the news, and it is estimated that he has already encountered an accident. ”

"Bastard, who the hell is it?" Li Shimin was furious, flipped over the table, and roared angrily: "Who has the courage to dare to intercept and kill the imperial court messenger...... I will send troops, I must send troops, send 300,000 troops, and I will definitely bulldoze the countries of Nanyang. ”

Just when Li Shimin was angry, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? As a gentleman, even if you can't do it and your face doesn't change when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you can't expose your mood so easily. ”

"I know, I'm just too worried about Zhen'er. What is the situation in Viet Chau? What was the reaction of those deposed officials? Q: What is the ability of the students of Tian Shuyuan? Li Shimin saw that it was Wei Zheng, and reflexively suppressed his anger - he was really afraid of being admonished. Although Wei Zheng lost the reason because of the incident of Yushitai before, which made Li Shimin take the opportunity to get angry, but after decades of friendship, Li Shimin still saw Wei Zheng at the moment he saw it, like a mouse seeing a cat, and subconsciously changed the topic.

Speaking of Yuezhou, Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered twice, and he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Yuezhou is unharmed, some people tried to resist at first, but they were quickly suppressed by Taifu Cen, and now Yuezhou is on the right track." The students of Wentian Shuyuan are very good, although they are a little rusty at the beginning, but now they are gradually familiar with government affairs. ”

"That's good, it seems that the formation of Wentian Shuyuan is really a correct choice." Li Shimin showed a hint of joy on his face, and asked again: "But Lin Yi's conspiracy was transmitted from Yuezhou, and our messenger was intercepted and killed, so there is no way for them to send the message to Zhen'er?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "No, according to Cen Wenwen, they are also the same as our Chang'an, no matter how they are clear or secret, all the messengers sent have been intercepted and killed, and none of them have passed the information to His Royal Highness King Yue, and even the cargo ships that transport supplies have all kinds of problems on the way, and there is even one that has been completely lost, and there is no news until now." ”

"Damn, you dare to go against us so blatantly, and when this matter is over, I will definitely find out the people behind the scenes." Li Shimin was even more angry, and it was only at this moment that he realized that his control over this country was so low, and the enemy had completely blinded his ears and eyes with just a slight move. What's even more terrifying is that this is just Lin Yi and Li Zhen, if the enemy wants to deal with Chang'an, then won't he become deaf and blind? It's scary to think about.

What's even more chilling is that before this, I didn't realize that there was such a powerful force hidden in Datang, who was behind it?

After going back and forth for a few laps, Li Shimin's anger was suppressed a lot, and he turned his head and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think you should deal with the war in Linyi?" ”

Du Ruhui said: "The minister thinks that reinforcements should be sent first. With the ability of King Yue, even if he falls into a predicament, it is still no problem to hold on, if we can eliminate reinforcements in time, maybe there is still time. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I will send 300,000 reinforcements, not only to rescue Zhen'er, but also to push the Nanyang, so that the king of the Baitou Kingdom of Linyi Kingdom will kneel in front of me and weep bitterly." ”

"But......" Wei Zheng glanced at Du Ruhui, and just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by a voice outside.

"Report! Eight hundred miles of the Western Regions expedited express. A messenger with a feather in his back rushed in.

This is the Hongling messenger, who can gallop fast in Chang'an City without anyone daring to stop him, but he can travel quickly in the palace without committing taboos, and he can directly meet the emperor, which can be said to have no taboos. Because anyone who dispatches Hongling to report urgently is generally a major military event, people let people go, cars see cars to avoid, no one is allowed to stop them, even if you are the prince, you have to avoid Hongling urgent envoys.

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Express." The messenger ran to Li Shimin, he was already tired and paralyzed, and he was about to lose consciousness, and he was held by two attendants, and he still held an envelope in his hand and did not let go. Wei Zheng hurriedly took it, verified that the fire paint was not damaged, and immediately opened it and took out the express report, and was immediately shocked: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the front line of the Western Regions Protectorate...... Your Majesty has to guard against it. ”

"Damn, this is happening at this time." Li Shimin slammed the dragon chair, he was just about to send 300,000 troops to push the Nanyang countries, and now this kind of thing happened at the border, no matter what the big food meant, then he can't mobilize troops and horses in a short time, otherwise if people come to the real thing, your soldiers and horses have run to Nanyang, how can you rescue the Western Regions?

"Since this is the case, then transfer the army of the Right Dao of Longlong to the Western Regions, no matter what, the army of the Great Food must not be allowed to cross the Green Ridge one step." Helpless, Li Shimin had to transfer the army of Longyou Dao to the town of the Western Regions first, and deal with it as appropriate in the future.

"Yes."

However, today is not destined to be a good day, as soon as the Hongling Express from the Western Regions came over, another Hongling messenger rushed in immediately, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately took it, and after reading it, he frowned solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic Protectorate Urgent Express, the Turkic Protector Duan Zhixuan was assassinated and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The entire Turkic homeland has been completely chaotic, several rebel forces have appeared within the Turks, and the barge tribes north of the Turks also have the intention of invading the Turks. ”

"What?" Li Shimin was even more shocked, he was not in a hurry when the Western Regions were in chaos, but the Turks were not good, the Turks were now the money bags of the Tang Dynasty, and the wool produced there accounted for half of the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty.

"Didn't I place 200,000 troops in the Turks?"

Du Ruhui said helplessly: "But these 200,000 troops don't have His Majesty's edict and tiger talismans, they can't send troops without authorization, and the 200,000 army is jointly led by the top ten generals, Your Majesty has not set up a commander, and the dragons will attack rashly without a leader, but there will be problems." ”

"Bastard." Li Shimin clenched his fists: "Immediately order the pharmacist to protect the new Turkic capital, and be sure to pacify the grassland within three months." ”

"Yes." Wang Tingchu immediately began to draft the edict.
