Today is not the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and many officials can also sleep peacefully, but important ministers like Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji do not have such treatment at all, but have to get up earlier than usual, because although there is no Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Shimin has to hold a small court meeting every day, and they and Fang Xuanling and other important ministers are generally summoned to the Liangyi Hall for deliberations.

Li Xiu usually pushes this kind of small court meeting, anyway, he can't express any opinions on some ordinary government affairs, but today he got up early, and then prepared to take the car to the palace, because the bank has been prepared and is about to start official operation, and this also needs to be reported to Li Shimin.

When Li Xiu's carriage entered Chang'an City, the eastern sky had already emitted a faint light, and it was estimated that the sun was about to rise, if it was placed in the past, the city gate of Chang'an City would definitely not open at this time, but with the lifting of the curfew, now not only the curfew in the city has been lifted, but also the closing time of the city gate has been greatly shortened, generally only closed during the period from two to four watches, and the rest of the time is open.

In the early morning, the streets of Chang'an City were already very lively, most of the people who entered the city with Li Xiu were convoys pulling goods, and there were also hawkers who went into the city to do business, such as selling vegetables and meat, etc., and the stalls on the street were also set up, and the fragrance of all kinds of breakfast also filled the entire Suzaku Street.

Li Xiu got up too early, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast at all, and he also felt hungry at this time, so he asked people to buy a Hu cake with mutton, and then eat while walking in the carriage, talking about the problem of eating in the early dynasty, Datang also had a very interesting thing, that is, a foodie minister was too greedy, and as a result, when he entered the palace, he also bought Zhang Hu cake and ate while walking, but he didn't expect to be seen by the official in charge of discipline, so he was included in a book, and finally even lost this official position, which is also one of the most painful prices paid by foodies.

When Li Xiu finished eating the Hu cakes, the carriage also entered the palace, at this time there was already a glimmer of sunrise in the eastern sky, and when he arrived at the Liangyi Palace, he found that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji and others had already come, and now they were discussing some government affairs, but when the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Xiu coming, he also showed a surprised expression, but Li Shimin seemed to know something, so he just nodded to Li Xiu, and then let him sit aside.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Cheng Zhijie's side, he has organized the remaining party members, and they can move to the south at any time, but this road is far away from mountains and rivers, the road is rugged and difficult, and most of the party members are women and children, I am afraid that many people will fall on the road." I saw Fang Xuanling continue to speak at this time, it seems that what they discussed just now was the handling of the party's aftermath.

"Fang Xiang is a little worried, my Datang is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many new roads between the states, and there is no shortage of food in various places, which can definitely ensure the needs of those party members on the road, so I think it is better to immediately order General Cheng to escort these party members to the south!" As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, he saw that the eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

However, as soon as his words came out, Li Xiu next to him couldn't help but pout, the five states of the party are located in the southwest frontier, and they want to escort them to the area of Dongting Lake, the nearest road is through the Sichuan Basin all the way to the east, but although Sichuan is the country of abundance, but it is surrounded by high mountains, even Li Bai has the feeling of "the difficulty of the Shu road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky", and now the eldest grandson Wuji does not consider these at all, but directly asks Cheng Yanjin to escort the party members on the road, and it is estimated that the corpses of the party people will be poured all over the way.

"I kindly took in these party members before, but not only did they not think about the emperor's grace, but instead stabbed me in the back, it is simply a wolf ambition, and it is also appropriate to let them suffer a little, so according to the opinion of Qi Guogong, immediately order the party members to leave!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time, he is also extremely disgusted with the party members now, and he can't wait to exterminate them, and now he can let the remaining party members live, he already feels that he is extremely merciful.

Hearing Li Shimin speak, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to say anything, and silently wrote down Li Shimin's decision at the moment, preparing to wait until after the dispersal of the dynasty before giving orders. This matter has been decided, and then continue to discuss the next government affairs, I saw Li Shimin pick up a copy of the book at this time, and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji next to him and said: "This is a request for help sent by the Silla envoy, saying that there is something unusual on the Goguryeo side, and it seems that it is preparing to move troops to Silla this autumn, Silla feels that he is powerless to resist, so he asks for help from our Datang, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Your Majesty, Silla is a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty, so it is reasonable to send troops to support, I think it is better to send additional troops in the Liaodong area, so as to deter the Goguryeo people and make them dare not act rashly!" I saw an old minister with gray hair stand up and say, this old minister Li Xiu knows, he is Xiao Yu, the younger brother of Queen Xiao.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Yu is the uncle of the former Sui, he is strict and rigid, upright, and even sometimes more radical than Wei Zheng, and he is from a noble background, so since Li Yuan, he began to reuse Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu has made many mistakes, and as a result, he was ousted six times in his life, and he was used by Li Shimin again a year ago, but he has been dismissed three times before, and there will be three opportunities to strike the prime minister in the future.

Xiao Yu agreed to support Silla, but it also made several other important ministers nod their heads in agreement, after all, Silla was an important chess piece of the Tang Dynasty to contain Goguryeo, and it was indeed impossible to give up easily.

"Xiao Xiangzhi's ministers also agreed, but in addition to Silla in Liaodong, Baekje also called our Datang ministers, and the ministers thought that they could make an alliance between Baekje and Silla to contain Goguryeo, so that our Datang could also save a lot of effort, but there are also great grievances between Silla and Baekje, so we also need Datang to mediate!" At this time, I saw Du Ruhui standing up and suggesting.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" As soon as Du Ruhui's words fell, Li Xiu was the first to jump out and agree, but he didn't have any good intentions, why did Baekje hate Silla so much, it was not because Silla stabbed them in the back and took away a large area of rich land, and if Datang wanted to mediate, at least Silla had to spit out the annexed land, so as to balance the national strength of the two countries.

"It's rare for Yan Guogong to take the initiative to express your opinion, it seems that you are very optimistic about Du Xiang's proposal!" Li Shimin saw that Li Xiu took the initiative to speak, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment.

"The situation in Liaodong is complicated, and we must not let any one sit big, since we can use Silla to contain Goguryeo, we can naturally use Baekje to contain Silla!" Li Xiu said without hesitation at this time, his wariness of Silla has never been lowered.
