"What?" In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin suddenly stood up with a shocked face, with an incredible look on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty is angry, the army could have withdrawn from the grassland before the snow disaster, but the Yi Nan of Xue Yantuo's department led the army to frequently harass the army, slowing down the speed of the army, and finally being blocked by the snow disaster on the grassland hundreds of miles away from Dingxiang!" The eldest grandson Wuji explained again at this time, he had just received the news from the northern Xinjiang, and he was also startled at that time, and then immediately rushed to the Liangyi Hall to report to Li Shimin.

"Yi Nan Xiao'er, you dare to break my big thing!" When Li Shimin heard this, it turned out to be Yi Nan's secret troublemaker, and he couldn't help yelling angrily at the moment, and at the same time felt that his heart was also dripping blood, you must know that Li Jing and what they took away were all the elites of the Tang Dynasty, if they were all folded on the grassland, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would be short of troops in a few years, especially the important ministers such as Li Xiu and Tang Jian in the army, which made him feel extremely heartbroken.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, on the second day of the snow disaster in the army, Li Jing had already sent a message to Dingxiang with a hot air balloon, ordering Dingxiang to dig snow to the north, according to the person who sent the message, there is still food in the army that can support nearly ten days, and if you control the diet in the army, it can even last for twenty days, and with the current digging speed, the road should be opened in twenty days!" The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin's annoyed appearance and hurriedly reported again.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji only dares to pick some nice words to say now, such as opening the road in twenty days, but there are too many variables in these twenty days, not to mention anything else, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no more snow in these twenty days, in case halfway through the digging, suddenly there is a snow disaster of about the same size, then it is equivalent to doing it in vain, and then the entire army will not have time to dig another road.

Although Li Shimin was angry, he was not so easy to fool, and he slapped the table and said, "Twenty days? Who dares to guarantee that after twenty days, the entire army will be safely withdrawn from the grassland? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but glance at Fang Xuanling next to him, and they both showed a somewhat helpless wry smile, this responsibility is too great, and neither of them dares to guarantee it.

"By the way, since hot air balloons can carry people and communicate, can you build more hot air balloons, and then take Li Jing and their army over little by little?" Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji and the others did not speak, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he proposed very excitedly at the moment.

"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled bitterly again when he heard Li Shimin's proposal, hesitated for a moment and finally said honestly, "Your Majesty, hot air balloons have to use the wind to move forward in the air, but now that winter is blowing in the north, no matter how many hot air balloons we make, we can't fly to Li Jing's place, and Li Jing doesn't have enough raw materials to make hot air balloons, so this method is not feasible!" ”

Li Shimin was also confused, and only then did he come to his senses when he heard the explanation of the eldest grandson Wuji, but then he spoke again: "Li Jing has insufficient raw materials, and he can definitely make some hot air balloons, so that some important people can be withdrawn, such as Li Xiu, Tang Jian and others, their safety must not be lost!" ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but now we can't communicate with Li Jing, we can only send us news by Li Jing, so Your Majesty's will can't be conveyed, of course, with Li Jing's wisdom, I believe he will definitely think of this!" The eldest grandson Wuji first nodded in agreement, and then explained with a wry smile that the road was impassable, and the news could only be conveyed unilaterally, which made the imperial court really unable to use any strength, so he could only urge Dingxiang to dig the road quickly.

Li Shimin finally came to his senses when he heard this, and he smiled helplessly at the moment, after receiving this bad news, he was also confused all of a sudden, and even forgot such a simple truth.

At that moment, Li Shimin shook his head suddenly, forcing himself to calm down completely, and after a long while, he said weakly: "Wuji, apart from you and Xuan Ling, is there anyone else who knows about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that this matter is very important, so after the news came from Dingxiang, he was immediately blocked by the minister, and now the rest of the court and the central government don't know about it!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately reported.

"That's good!" Li Shimin finally nodded again when he heard this, and then instructed Fang Xuanling, "Xuanling, the matter of welcoming the withdrawal of the army from the grassland is of great importance, and it is even likely to shake the national capital of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling have always been Li Shimin's most powerful assistants, but some time ago, Du Ruhui suddenly fell ill and couldn't even get out of bed, so Li Shimin also visited in person, but according to the imperial doctor, Du Ruhui's illness may not be able to get better for a while, which made Li Shimin feel very bad, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen again.

"Your Majesty, since Du Xiang is seriously ill, the burden on Fang Xiang's body has become heavier, and now if he leaves Chang'an, it will make the government affairs backlog, and second, it may also attract some people's suspicions, so it is better to let the ministers run!" As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, he saw that the eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to take the lead.

"Wuji, you ......" saw that the eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to ask to go to northern Xinjiang, Li Shimin also showed a surprised look, before the eldest grandson Wuji in order to avoid suspicion, specially asked for instructions to cut off the power in his hands, although the eldest grandson Wuji still holds some government affairs, but most of them are temporarily handed over to him by Li Shimin, and the real power in his hands is not great, but if he goes to northern Xinjiang, he will definitely grasp the local military and political power, which may cause dissatisfaction among some people, and then lead to an attack on the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The overall situation is important, and the rest is not on the minister's heart!" The eldest grandson Wuji also knew what Li Shimin was worried about, but at the moment he smiled freely and said that he really didn't care about personal gains and losses.

"Okay, since Wuji is willing to take on this hard work, then it's up to you to run!" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji insisted, Li Shimin did not refuse, because he believed in his brother, who grew up together.

"Your Majesty, if the Duke of Qi goes to Northern Xinjiang, he can use the army to reward the army, and at the same time escort Jieli to Chang'an in the name of going there, so that it will not arouse suspicion!" Fang Xuanling also agreed at this time, he did have too many affairs, so if the eldest grandson Wuji was willing to go for him, he couldn't ask for it.

"I think so too, Wuji, you should prepare immediately, and leave for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow!" Li Shimin also nodded when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, and then opened his mouth to command, and the eldest grandson Wuji also immediately received the order, and then he and Fang Xuanling withdrew from the Liangyi Palace.

After watching the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling leave, Li Shimin suddenly sighed, and his face showed endless sadness, because he thought of a troublesome matter, Li Xiu and the army were blocked on the grassland, and he didn't know whether to tell Princess Pingyang about this matter?

Originally, such a big thing happened, Li Shimin should not hide it from Princess Pingyang, and even went to tell his sister the news in person, but since the Xuanwumen Incident, Princess Pingyang has not forgiven him, which makes the relationship between their sister and brother very stiff, and even Princess Pingyang erected a stone monument in front of her house to prohibit Li Shimin from entering, which also made Li Shimin the most helpless.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that he still had to tell Princess Pingyang about this, otherwise if Princess Pingyang knew that Li Xiu was in such a big danger in the future, but he still hid it from her, it would definitely make the relationship between their sister and brother even more stiff, so it was better to let her know as soon as possible, of course, he couldn't see Princess Pingyang, but someone could see him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately called his son, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and did not tell him about Li Xiu, but wrote a letter in his own hand, explaining that Li Chengdao would hand it over to Princess Pingyang in person.

Princess Pingyang was accompanying Yi Niang to tease the child, just over a month after Li Xiu left, the pregnant Yi Niang finally gave birth to a daughter, which is what Li Xiu wants the most, after all, in his opinion, how can a son have a daughter cute? It's a pity that he was not at home when Yiniang gave birth, and he hasn't even seen his daughter's face yet.

Princess Pingyang heard Li Chengqian's request to see her, and she was a little strange at the moment, after all, it was almost dark now, and it was really not the right time for Li Chengqian to come, but she still asked Li Chengqian to take her to the living room, and as soon as she saw the other party, she immediately smiled and said: "Chengqian, why are you here, your uncle is coming back, and the homework he left for you can be finished?" ”

Before the news that Jieli was captured by the Tang Army reached Chang'an, the whole Chang'an was boiling, and it was sent to Chang'an along with the war report, and Li Xiu wrote a letter to his family, which told Princess Pingyang that she was about to come back, which made her and Yiniang very happy, and always looked forward to Li Xiu coming back to name his and Yiniang's daughter.

"Auntie, don't worry, I've already finished writing, but today my father suddenly asked me to bring you a letter, saying that you must read it!" Li Chengdao got straight to the point at this time, and took out the letter in his arms and sent it to Princess Pingyang as he spoke.

Li Chengqian is no longer the little child who didn't understand anything before, and he already knew that his father's throne was snatched from his uncle, which also led to his uncle being killed, and his uncle and cousin were also driven to America and couldn't come back, and it was precisely because of this that his aunt in front of him hated his father very much, so when he got the letter just now, he was also a little hesitant in his heart, but since it was his father's order, he didn't dare to disobey.

Hearing that Li Shimin actually asked Li Chengqian to bring a letter to him, Princess Pingyang's face immediately changed, and at the same time, she also had a bad premonition in her heart.
