It was getting late, and the clouds were thick. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Shimin rushed up a dirt mountain, put his hands on a pergola, and raised his eyes to look.

Perhaps because of the light, the distance looks gray and foggy, giving people a very unreal feeling. He took off a water bag, unplugged it, and took a large sip of spring water from Yuhua Mountain. The hot and dry weather makes people feel a little depressed. The cold spring water entered his abdomen, and Li Shimin felt more or less comfortable...... Whew, he let out a sigh of relief.

In my mind, scenes from the early morning suddenly appeared.

Originally, he was ordered to supervise the construction of Renzhi Palace in Yuhua Mountain, as Li Yuan's summer escape in the coming summer.

Li Yuan was very afraid of the heat, and at the same time felt bored by the hustle and bustle of Chang'an Xia. Therefore, he chose Yuhua Mountain as his summer palace, and Li Shimin naturally had to do his best.

Just as he was discussing the details of the construction of this Renzhi Palace, Tian Feng led Zuo Jin Wuwei to arrive suddenly.

Only then did Li Shimin know the news that the Turkic mission had been ambushed. At first glance, Li Shimin was also stunned.

Tian Feng passed on Li Yuan's edict, and Li Shimin immediately returned to Chang'an.

In the edict, the emperor's seal was not used to issue various decrees, but the emperor's seal used to depose the princes and princes. Nowadays, the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country are unknown, so most of the time Li Yuan uses it to equip himself with the emperor's six seals. The six seals of the emperor have different uses, but since the first year of Wude, the emperor's seal has appeared for the first time.

Li Shimin, how can he not feel nervous?

Wiping a handful of sweat from his face, Li Shimin tried his best to calm his emotions.

The sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded, and he turned his head to take a look, and saw Li Jing riding a horse to follow. Li Shimin threw the water bag to Li Jing, and then looked behind him again. Tian Feng and Zuo Jin Wuwei waited under the mound and did not follow. Although Li Yuan's edict was harsh, Li Shimin was the king of Qin after all, and he was also the general of Tiance of the Twelve Guards and Horses of the Governor. Even if Li Yuan really deposed Li Shimin as the general of Tiance, he would be a child of the royal family after all.

Tian Feng is doing things in the palace, so he naturally knows how important it is.

Therefore, he did not press tightly, and completely obeyed Li Shimin's command along the way.

"Pharmacist, who could have done this?"

Li Jing took a sip of water, wiped the water stains off his beard, and said softly: "King Qin has already made a decision, why do you need to ask me again?" ”

"But, where did he come from?"

Li Shimin said distressedly: "The foundation of the king of Henan is in Heluo, and there seems to be no part of him in Guanzhong.

Fengzhou is the eldest brother's person, and with the surname of the eldest brother, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing, and it is inconsistent with his ideas. ”

"The king of Henan may not have soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, but he may not be able to mobilize generals."

"Impossible!" Li Shimin said: "What you mean, this king understands, but in this short period of time, how can he buy the trilogy?"

In addition, the transfer of troops and horses in various departments will have a case record to be checked.

Even if the king of Henan bought some people to go over, but this is Gyeonggi Province, and it is not a trivial matter to mobilize troops and horses without authorization. ”

Li Jing smiled bitterly, "This is exactly what the last general can't understand." ”

Li Shimin scratched his head with the tip of the whip, "However, the ambush of the Turkic mission may make my father even more difficult." He didn't want to go to war with the Turks, but now that the mission was attacked in Fenzhou, his father was already in a difficult position...... The king didn't want to bow to the Turks, but this method was too violent, so that the court had no room to turn around, so what about Jiangnan? ”

"The battle of Jiangnan, I'm afraid it's imminent!"

Li Jing and Li Shimin glanced at each other and showed a wry smile at the same time.

"Let's go back to Chang'an and see how this situation develops......"

Li Shimin said goodbye and urged the horse to rush down the hill.

Li Jing followed closely, and Tian Feng under the hill, seeing Li Shimin taking action, did not hesitate to urge the soldiers and horses to follow.

After dark, the group arrived in Chang'an.

Li Shimin dismounted outside the Chengtian Gate and was just about to enter the palace, but saw a team of people coming out of the Chengtian Gate and blocking the way.

"Wei Changshi, why are you blocking the way of this king?"

The person who came was Shi Weiting, the head of the East Palace, to be precise, a close confidant of the prince.

Wei Ting smiled slightly, "General, forgive me, it's not that the minister wants to stop it, but His Majesty's edict, after His Royal Highness the King of Qin arrives, he will immediately be grounded in the Chengqian Palace." Without His Majesty's will, His Royal Highness is not allowed to enter and leave without permission, and he also asks the King of Qin to forgive his sins. ”

Grounded?

Isn't that the same as captivity?

Before Li Shimin could react, Wei Ting and Jin Wuwei had already stepped forward.

"Pharmacist, you go back immediately and tell everyone, don't scratch."

Li Shimin didn't have time to explain to Li Jing, so he could only shout in a hurry.

He believed that Li Jing would definitely understand what he meant.

Li Jing frowned, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: The Turkic mission was attacked, and the King of Qin was imprisoned in the Chengqian Palace? What's going on?

In my mind, Li Yanqing's smiling and delicate face unconsciously appeared.

I became more and more sure in my heart that this matter had a very close relationship with Li Yanqing. But what is the purpose of Li Yanqing's this?

After Li Jing left the imperial city, he wandered outside the Suzaku Gate.

"Li Mu!"

"In!"

One of his entourages walked out and bowed.

Li Jing said: "You immediately go to the Qin Palace, meet Mr. Wang, Liu Wenjing and Liu Sima, and ask him to restrain everyone's actions." At such times, no accidents must happen again...... I'll go to the princess's mansion and ask Princess Pingyang to come forward and intercede for the general. ”

Li Mu agreed, and left in a hurry with the people.

And Li Jing turned over outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, and a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously looked into the imperial city.

Could it be that Li Yanqing Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong?

His real purpose was not to embarrass King Qin, but to have ulterior motives?

—————————————————————————————— Li Yanqing shook his spirit, and his body couldn't help shrinking.

He stood at the foot of the jade steps, but as if he was asleep, he did not speak.

In the Lizheng Palace, the ministers were still arguing. Some people think that they should immediately send someone to explain to the Turks, while others believe that they should negotiate peace with Xiao Sui and make every effort to solve the Turks...... In short, the two sides had different opinions, and the quarrel was particularly intense.

Yan Qing and Li Xuanba stood next to them, looking very calm.

Li Jiancheng looked at the two of them quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

And Li Yuan, sitting on the dragon bed, kept rubbing his temples, obviously feeling an incomparably headache.

"Shut up, stay with me!"

Li Yuan suddenly shouted loudly, and the ministers in the palace immediately closed their mouths.

"Noisy, noisy, noisy...... Can you do anything useful besides arguing? Come up with a proper solution? ”

In the Lizheng Palace, there was a sudden silence.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his eyes swept towards Pei Lian.

He found that Pei Lin was snorting at him. Looking in the direction indicated by Pei Lian, Li Yuan saw Li Yanqing, who had been silent.

"Yangzhen!"

"The minister is here."

Li Yanqing opened his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"You are known for your resourcefulness, why don't you say a word?"

Li Yanqing looked at the civil and military ministers in the palace and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not silent, but are listening to the opinions of your lords. ”

"Oh?"

"Actually, your lordship's intentions are good, for the sake of Your Majesty, and for the sake of my Tang Dynasty's eternal foundation."

The faces of the ministers in the palace suddenly stretched a lot.

One after another, his eyes were focused on Li Yanqing's body, and there was an encouraging smile on his face.

"The minister just listened to the arguments of your lords, in fact, he was worried that the Turks would take advantage of this incident and take the opportunity to send troops to the Central Plains...... The adults are very thoughtful and have good ideas. However, the minister thinks that the adults may be too cautious. Turkic? Hehe, in fact, it is not a concern. ”

Li Yuan suddenly became interested, "Yangzhen, then you can talk about it, how the Turks are not worried." ”

"The Turks are strong, but not invincible.

In the early years, there was Chen Tang who smashed Huanglong, saying, "Those who commit me will be punished even if they are far away", and then there was the eldest grandson general who joined the vertical and horizontal, making the Qimin Khan bow down and claim to be a minister. Now, not long after our emperor ascended the throne, the Central Plains war has ended, and it is indeed a little weak. But weakness is not an excuse to bow to the Turks...... In the opinion of the ministers, the Turks have ten without fighting, and Your Majesty does not need to filter. ”

"Ten without fighting?"

Li Yanqing straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the Turkic Luo Khan is the case, although Ashina is on the throne, the foundation is not stable. Not to mention that the heirs of Ashina Duji and Ashina Lifu may not be convinced, even the brothers of the Qimin Khan, how many of them are really subdued? This is a Turkic that does not dare to fight...... Second, the reason why Dubi sent the mission was really to help Xiao Sui?

I'm afraid he also wants to stall for time and divide the Central Plains, so as to get a chance to breathe. Therefore, his current combat power is not strong.

Third, thieves were rampant during the Great Cause, and the Turks invested a lot in it.

However, with the demise of all kinds of rebels, the Turks have invested a lot, and it is difficult to recover them. As a result, there will inevitably be disagreements within the Turks.

Fourth, the battle of King Baibi of Qin defeated Liu Wuzhou.

The battle of Zhao Wang Shuofang defeated the Liang division for thousands of miles. If the Turks had no fear of His Majesty, it would be impossible.

He was afraid, and he did not dare to go to war easily.

The fifth ......"

Li Yanqing's loud voice echoed in the Lizheng Hall, and the statements one by one made the mood of the civil and military ministers gradually calm down.

And Li Yuan's brows gradually relaxed, nodding in recognition from time to time.

"King of Henan, then according to what you said, there is no need to worry about the Turks?"

Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked.

Li Yanqing smiled, "Liu Shangshu, although this king said that the Turks have ten non-wars, he really did not say that the Turks will definitely not fight.

There is a saying that people do not have the intention of killing tigers, and tigers must be prevented from hurting people.

Your Majesty, the minister means that the Turks must not be guarded against, but there is no need to worry too much. The ministers had a plan to plunge the Turks into chaos without using national power. ”

"Raise the truth, let's talk about it carefully."

"In the past, the king's teacher, the former general of the Zuo Xiaowei Dynasty, Changsun Sheng, once said that the people of the grassland looked like a god. The tribes can use their selfish motives to keep fighting and weaken their strength. The Turks are currently ruled by Ashina, but not everyone obeys orders. The minister heard that Xue Yantuo's ministry was quite hostile to him, and most of the other ministries were under pressure.

Your Majesty may send an envoy to the steppe to stir up relations between the tribes and draw them into strife.

At the same time, choose another one of the generals to go out of Lingzhou and supervise the soldiers and horses in the north, and you can be safe and sound...... The minister recommended a person, Pei Shiju, the former doctor of Zijin Guanglu, who had sent an envoy to the Western Regions and defeated Tuyuhun. Now Your Majesty can also order this person to go to the Western Regions again, unite the troops and horses of the Western Regions, and contain the Turkic forces. In this way, His Majesty can concentrate on eliminating Xiao Sui. ”

Pei Shiju?

Everyone in the Lizheng Hall immediately started to stir again.

Even Li Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly...... This Pei Shiju, the reputation doesn't seem to be very good!

"Yangzhen, then who do you think can get out of Zhenlingzhou?"

Li Jiancheng suddenly stood up and said: "Father, if you are good at fighting, you have to be true."

Yang Zhen has experienced a hundred battles and is resourceful. If he goes out of Lingzhou, it will be difficult for the northern alien race to achieve any climate. ”

Li Xuanba raised his head suddenly.

Li Yuan frowned even tighter, a little hesitant.

At this time, Li Yanqing said: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to go, the minister doesn't know much about the Turks. I am afraid that it will backfire...... The minister thought that the king of Zhao was brave and martial, and he had chased and killed Liang Shidu for thousands of miles, which made the Turks frightened. If King Zhao leaves Lingzhou, His Majesty will definitely sit back and relax...... However, Mobei is vast, and King Zhao may not be able to take care of it alone. The minister recommended another person, and Li Jing, the king of Qin, could take on the important task. King Zhao and Li Jing joined forces to suppress Shuobei, and the Turks did not dare to take half a step south. ”

"Li Jing?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Li Xuanba nodded at Li Yanqing secretly, and then closed his eyes again, wandering outside.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yanqing suspiciously, but saw Li Yanqing smiling at him, as if telling him not to worry.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Just follow the strategy of cultivating the truth!" ”
