The prime minister is Zhao Deyan's code name in the Feinu Division, he lurked into the Turks to get Jieli's trust, and now helps Jieli reform the Turks, hoping to turn the Turks into a centralized empire similar to the Tang Dynasty, but this wish looks good, but for the Turks it is a poison wrapped in honey, but unfortunately Jieli not only did not find out, but really swallowed the poison as honey.

It is precisely because of this that now Zhao Deyan is also in the Turks to get the wind and the rain, and he can be said to be the first person under Jieli, and he also bewitched Jieli to learn the enjoyment of the Central Plains Emperor, and recruited beauties from all ethnic groups to enrich Jieli's harem, which also made Jieli give more power to Zhao Deyan, so that he was a first-hand man in Turkic.

grasped the real power of the Turks, which also enabled Zhao Deyan to send more information related to the Turks to Datang, in other words, the Turks are basically transparent to the Tang Dynasty, and all the internal situations are mastered by the Datang, as long as the Tang Dynasty is willing, he can concentrate his forces to attack the weaknesses of the Turks at any time, but unfortunately the Tang Dynasty has not been able to draw troops to take the initiative in the past two years, otherwise the Turks may have been destroyed.

"The prime minister has made another great achievement this time, this news is simply too important for us!" In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin walked around the hall with a look of ecstasy, and it was the first time he was so happy since the locust plague appeared this year.

"This is also thanks to Your Majesty and the concubine who can discern the Ying, so that my Datang can have this help!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji also said with a smile on his face at this time, and when he said the end, he also deliberately looked at Li Xiu next to him, although he praised Li Shimin and Li Xiu, but Zhao Deyan was able to be used by Datang, mainly because of Li Xiu's recommendation.

In addition to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji in the main hall, there is only Li Xiu, in fact, Zhao Deyan's identity is a top secret, in addition to the three of them, only a few high-level people in charge of the Feinu Division know, of course, the Feinu Division is not qualified to participate in the government, so every time Zhao Deyan sends back important information, it is generally discussed by the three of them.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister suggested that he should concentrate his forces to attack the Turks in the spring of next year, I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve, right?" At this time, Li Xiu took the information sent by Zhao Deyan and studied it carefully for a long time, and finally spoke.

This time Zhao Deyan sent a great news, that is, the northern grasslands suffered a rare snowstorm in a century, and almost none of the tribes under the rule of the Turks were spared, all of them were shrouded in snowstorms, according to Zhao Deyan's rough estimate, this time the Turks will lose nearly thirty percent of the population, as for the loss of livestock, it is impossible to count, in other words, wait until the spring of next year, it will be the weakest time for the Turks, so he suggested that next spring, the Tang Dynasty can concentrate its forces and take the initiative to attack and annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop!

Hearing Li Xiu mention Zhao Deyan's suggestion to send troops next year, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces showed a look of embarrassment. ”

The main army of the Tang Dynasty is still the government soldier system, and one of the most important characteristics of the government soldiers is that they are for the people in peacetime and the army in wartime, and when the government soldiers go out to fight, the soldiers must prepare their own horses, weapons and food, but now Guanzhong is affected by the disaster, and Guanzhong is the most important recruitment area of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that almost all of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty come from Guanzhong, in this case, how can it be possible to let the government soldiers prepare food by themselves?

"Hateful! It's hateful to have such a great opportunity, but to watch it miss it powerlessly! At this moment, I saw that Li Shimin also suddenly slammed the table, and his face was full of annoyance, he even doubted whether he had really offended God, why did he always put him in a dilemma?

"Your Majesty can't say that, the environment on the steppe is harsh, the population is growing very slowly, this time they have lost a large number of people, and it is by no means possible to recover in a short time, not to mention that there are so many livestock, it is estimated that the entire Turks will have to find a way to fill their stomachs next year, and we must also be prepared to prevent them from going south."

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment and then said: "In contrast, the biggest problem facing our Datang is the lack of grain, but with corn and sweet potatoes, it only takes one year to make up for the lack of food, if everything goes well, wait until next autumn, Your Majesty can send troops whenever he wants!" ”

Li Xiu's analysis was not clever, but Li Shimin only cared about remorse just now, and he didn't think of this at all, and now he couldn't help but light up after hearing it, and then he sat up straight again, and he knew without asking, at this time, his mind must be spinning rapidly, planning a plan for how to attack the Turks next fall?

"Your Majesty, whether you attack the Turks or not, it is a great thing for us that the grassland encounters a snowstorm, so the minister thinks it is best to let people spread the news, so that it can also calm the people's hearts!" The eldest grandson Wuji saluted Li Shimin again at this time, Datang has always regarded the Turks as the biggest enemy, and now that the enemy is suffering, it is naturally a good thing for Datang, at least there is no need to worry about the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops pressing down like the previous two years.

"Wuji's words won my heart, and immediately let people spread the news, tomorrow when the court meeting, I will also announce the news in front of hundreds of officials, I thought that I would not encounter anything good today, but I didn't expect that this is about to be the New Year, and I will encounter such a happy event!" Li Shimin also nodded in agreement when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and when he said the end, he couldn't help laughing again.

After chatting about the above matter, Li Shimin then chatted with the eldest grandson Wuji about a few political affairs, although the eldest grandson has resigned from the position of the right servant, but he is still Li Shimin's most trusted minister, so he usually undertakes a lot of government affairs.

Li Xiu has never been interested in government affairs, and wanted to leave first, but was left by Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji saw this, and also knew that Li Shimin must have something to talk to Li Xiu alone, so he also left with great interest, and in the end, only Li Xiu and Li Shimin were left in the Liangyi Palace.

"Li Xiu, I heard that Cousin Guanghua and General Ma are about to get married?" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Shimin immediately asked Li Xiu with a smile.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to know, but Uncle Ma and the county lord have known each other for so long, and the relationship is getting deeper and deeper, at first, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was a little reluctant, but later he was persuaded by Uncle Ma and the county lord, the two of them should have been preparing for the wedding a long time ago, but because the natural disaster this year is so serious, thinking that so many people still can't eat, they can't bear to spend so much money to prepare for the wedding." Li Xiu also explained with a smile when he heard this.

"Cousin, their concerns are also normal, I heard that many dignitaries and dignitaries have postponed the wedding that was supposed to be held this year, after all, this kind of fact is too easy for the counselor to grasp the handle, but I am curious now, cousin, how did they figure it out now, and suddenly want to hold a wedding before the year?" Li Shimin nodded at first, and then asked curiously, Ma Ye is still preparing to exchange the cost of the wedding for food and distribute it to the people, except for a few people such as Li Xiu, outsiders don't know.

"Haha~, this matter is thanks to me thinking of a good way, that day Uncle Ma told me about his concerns with the county lord, I persuaded him not to hold too grand a wedding, but to spend the money on the wedding, replaced it with rice, grain, meat, oil and other materials, and distributed it to the people in Chang'an who could not eat due to natural disasters, so that the victims could be rescued, and more people could bless the marriage of Uncle Ma and the county lord!" Li Xiu also laughed out loud at this time and said proudly.

"It turned out to be your idea, no wonder I heard that General Ma and some people went around buying food, at first I wondered if he was going to hoard food to make money for refugees, but I didn't think he was like that kind of person, but I didn't expect that there was such a reason!" When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's explanation, he also smiled at the moment.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, and then secretly broke out in a cold sweat, because he suddenly thought that Ma Ye and a group of old departments of the women's army were buying food everywhere, but it was at this juncture, it was easy for Li Shimin to misunderstand, not to mention that the women's army had a record of confrontation with Li Shimin before, I am afraid that Li Shimin did not misunderstand that Ma Ye was going to make a fortune, but was worried that he and his wife had any bad behavior, fortunately Li Shimin still believed him, and asked him before making a move, Only then did the misunderstanding be resolved, otherwise it would probably bring unwarranted disasters to Ma Ye and them.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly regret that he was not thoughtful enough to think about things, if he revealed some news in advance, I am afraid it would not cause such a misunderstanding, and this also made him suddenly think of the last conversation with the eldest grandson Wuji, as the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, even the eldest grandson Wuji must pay attention to proportion, and resolutely resign from the position of the right servant, which shows his caution, and he is obviously a little careless.

The above thoughts turned like lightning in Li Xiu's mind, and his face did not show anything unusual, and he continued with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Uncle Ma is not the kind of person who makes a fortune, speaking of which, he was able to marry the county lord this time, and he will finally be a family in the future, and Ha'er is their daughter, his biggest wish now is to help Ha'er find a good family, and then accompany the county lord to live for a long time!" ”

"Retirement? That's not good, the reason why I left you behind is actually that I have something to discuss with you about General Ma! Li Shimin seemed to have been watching the expression change on Li Xiu's face, and then suddenly smiled again.
