Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, staring into the distance, and he seemed to be in the majestic battlefield where a million-strong army was facing each other.

Li Jing said fascinatedly: "In the lifetime of the old minister, it is really worthwhile to be able to have such an opportunity." ”

Hou Junji clenched his fists, waved it and said: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to return to the army, the minister feels that he has been separated from the army for so long, and this time when he was in Goguryeo, he was a little uncomfortable. ”

Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng are also fearless.

This situation made Li Su very emotional: This is the iron-blooded Datang! The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to stand tall in the East, dominate the world, and become the most powerful country of that era was because the Tang Dynasty military and civilians had the spirit of fearlessness and daring to show their swords!

Li Su said: "Erchen suggested that foreign wars be suspended. We now have three things to do:

The first thing was to increase aid to the Persian Empire and use it to clamp down on the development of the Arab Empire.

The second thing is the development of our naval and artillery forces.

The third thing is to develop Lingnan and continue to enhance its national strength, and at the same time to garrison troops in the Lingnan region and conduct targeted training under tropical climate conditions.

The imperial court temporarily stopped the conquest for one year, and by the end of next year, or the beginning of the next year, it would take two to three years to complete the conquest of the rich countries in Southeast Asia such as Zhenla and Tianzhu.

Three to four years later, a war was waged against the Arab Empire. ”

After discussion, Li Shimin and others adopted Li Su's proposal.

In early September, with Li Shimin's approval, Li Su prepared to go to the Lingnan area. Before that, he had to go to Yangzhou first, and was going to stay in Yangzhou for two months to help Li Zhi solve the problems of the Naval Research Institute.

It's going to be out again. The princesses all wanted to go with Li Su. After deliberation, they believed that among the seven people, only Wu Cong and Princess Narcissus were not pregnant. Then there is only one of the two of them.

When it comes to the intimacy of the relationship with Li Su, Wu Cong is better than Princess Narcissus. In addition, Wu Cong went to Goguryeo in the previous stage, which was very hard, and it was the turn of Wu Cong.

So, in the end, Wu Cong got this opportunity.

The princesses were very, very envious. You must know that this time when you go out, at least for more than half a year, then only Wu Cong has the opportunity to be alone with Li Su.

There's no way, who makes people's lives better.

Li Su went out this time to travel with Li Zhi. He was accompanied by Du He, Yang Kang, Qin Huaidao, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Yu Ningzhi.

Princess Yangcheng heard that Wu Cong followed Li Su out, so she went to Li Shimin to grind hard bubbles, and finally Li Shimin agreed to let her go with Du He.

Wu Cong was very happy, the last time she went to Goguryeo, Princess Yangcheng went with Wu Cong.

On the day they went out, the princesses all went to the city gate to see them off. Li Ning'er was a little jealous when she saw the elated appearance of Wu Cong and Princess Yangcheng. But she touched her bulging lower abdomen, and there was a feeling of happiness.

The crown princesses told them to take care of His Royal Highness on the way.

Then, Li Su held a unique farewell ceremony in the Tang Dynasty - the princesses lined up, and Li Su kissed them one by one. Such a glamorous act suddenly abused and killed a large number of single dogs.

Li Ke and Li Tai, who came to see them off, decided to try this after returning home.

On the road, Li Su, Du He, and Li Zhi, all three of whom were huddled in Li Su's carriage, playing cards or chatting, and sometimes smoking. Wu Cong and Yangcheng couldn't get used to their smoke, so they went to play in other carriages.

During the chat, Li Zhi said: "Sixth brother, before leaving, the fourth brother came to look for me, and he seemed to have an opinion on you.

He told me that you asked me to go to Yangzhou to be the director of the Naval Research Institute, and you got the fief to Yangzhou, and you deliberately asked me to leave Chang'an.

also said that his father originally wanted to restore his status as a prince, but you blocked him in the middle, so he was crowned a county king. ”

Before Li Su could speak, Du He stopped doing it first. He said: "Li Tai looks like a-stirring stick. Back then, he sent people to assassinate his brother. The emperor originally wanted to demote him to a concubine, but it was all because Brother Su spoke in the middle and didn't care about him, so he was given a county duke. This man simply doesn't know what to do! ”

Li Su smiled and said, "Ninth brother, do you believe what he said?" ”

Li Zhi didn't know much about what happened back then, but he felt that Li Su was not that kind of person.

He said: "Sixth brother, I can still trust you as a person. At that time, I said to the fourth brother, you must have misunderstood the sixth brother. But he didn't believe me when I said anything.

He also said to let me be careful, saying that Sixth Brother, you are the most treacherous, you will sell me, and then I will still be there to help count the money. ”

Li Su stretched out his hand, rubbed it on his head, messed up his hair, and said, "Okay, I'll sell you now, you count and see, how much is you worth?" ”

Li Zhi saw that he messed up his hair and wanted to do the same. But Li Su is the prince after all, and he doesn't dare a little. So he reached out and messed up Du He's hair.

Du He didn't do it, so he squeaked him, and the itchy Li Zhi couldn't stop laughing.

The three brothers laughed and stopped talking about the previous topic.

Li Zhi's words reminded Li Su: For Li Tai, a-stirring stick, he still has to be careful.

Li Tai's caution is not wrong, Li Tai really wants to find trouble. He heard from the side that Li Su had taken Li Chengqian to Chang'an City. He thought that Li Su was currying favor with Empress Changsun, and he couldn't let Li Su pick up this bargain, so he was ready to seize this matter to make a fuss.

Li Tai himself didn't dare to come forward, so he secretly sent people to spread rumors on Chang'an City. Let's just say that the crown prince Li Su secretly colluded with the abolished prince Li Chengqian and plotted against him. And spread rumors that the news was heard from the people of the East Palace.

The news was shocking. Li Shimin couldn't imagine that it was Li Tai who did it, he thought that Li Su was not careful, and the people in the East Palace did not keep the door open, and they leaked such a secret thing. Therefore, I was a little dissatisfied with Li Su in my heart.

Li Dan, who was here in Chang'an City, heard about this incident, and hurriedly sent someone to Yangzhou to report the matter to Li Su.

When Hou Junji heard about this, he hurriedly went to Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, to discuss countermeasures. Li Xiaogong believes that this matter is too sensitive, and it is best for him and Hou Junji not to get along. Otherwise, Li Shimin would have wondered how they knew about it.

Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin's study,

Seeing that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister sees that you have something on your mind. If it's convenient, you can talk to the minister. Maybe you can help you share the burden. ”

Li Shimin asked, "Have you heard the rumors about the abolition of the prince in Chang'an City?" ”
