Li Chengzong was not so annoyed, and the 100,000-strong army went to the Turks. Not to mention how many supplies are put in, there is no receipt that is too annoying.

There is another point that also annoys Li Chengzong, the four cabinet members are honestly too unfamiliar with fighting, and they don't have any decent ideas. has always had a gloomy face, and the people around him, including Zhu Bajie, were afraid, very afraid.

"Zhu Bajie, bring Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, and Li Shentong." Li Chengzong said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Bajie told the little eunuch in the palace not to delay for a moment, and quickly sent the three of them.

Winter! Not only is the wind and snow on the grassland, but also Chang'an. The three of them are not young, and it is about to fall at night. At this time, I didn't know what kind of crazy Li Chengzong was smoking, and he didn't scold in his mouth, but he complained in his heart.

Lawyer Pei said: "Father, not long ago, Li Jing's army was pulled out, and the loss of troops will be in the grassland. I think Your Majesty is still looking for you to go to the palace to discuss this matter. The child thinks that we should help Li Jing. No matter how you say it, Li Jing is also from a family. ”

Pei Jing snorted coldly and said, "Do you think it's so simple to answer before the saint?" His Majesty ignores the family on the surface, but in fact, there are several people who hold real power in the court and the central government from the family. This matter will be decided when the father arrives in the palace and will depend on the situation. ”

I was reprimanded again, and I shouldn't have come back for the Chinese New Year, Lawyer Pei thought to himself.

Li Shentong thought that there was Li Jin, but when he arrived, he found out that there was none. Not only that, but the two ruthless characters who were summoned with him are still two, and Pei Lin doesn't need to say more. Xiao Yu is not a vegetarian, regardless of Xiao Yu, those who are familiar with the palace know that the prince is a floating cloud. Only the outstanding Princess Mingyue is the treasure of Emperor Li Chengzong. Even if there is no Xiao Qianniang, as long as Li Mingyue is in one day. The Xiao family is still a famous royal family.

"You've been waiting for a long time?" Li Shentong said with a smile.

Pei Lin and Xiao Yu also smiled: "It's just a moment." ”

In fact, it's strange, who is usually summoned by Li Chengzong. That's where you can go straight to when you come. Today, I'm going to wait, you just wait, it's all your elders, or even your father-in-law's identity, and it's really unreasonable not to even arrange a room. Li Shentong looked around, except for the guards patrolling back and forth, and a few listless eunuchs, there was nothing.

It's been half an hour since I waited, if Li Shentong hadn't looked at Pei Lin and Xiao Yu. I'm afraid I'll think that Li Chengzong wants to be unfavorable to him! At this time, Zhu Bajie came out of nowhere, and invited the three of them to enter the inner saint.

"Sit down!" Li Chengzong's voice was really tired, and he had carefully studied the Turkic map. I watched it very carefully, and I watched it very carefully, and I seemed to forget that there were three people outside.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three sat down separately.

Li Chengzong slowed down and said: "The Turkic matter said that Li Jing was given a one-year deadline, but I still felt that it was inappropriate after thinking about it. ”

"What does Your Majesty want? Leave it to the old minister to do it, and there is no need to bother so much. Li Shentong saw that Li Chengzong, who had always been in good spirits, was tired. This is the most appropriate opportunity to express faithfulness. Don't blame Li Shentong for being so unpopular, it's really a last resort! Li Shentong, who has a poor record, is still sitting in a high position like a towering tree. At first, it relied on Li Yuan's many protections. Now, Li Yuan is in the waning mountains, and he can only hug Li Chengzong's thighs.

"But there is something to trouble your old man." Li Chengzong said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please. The old minister will never give up! Li Shentong hurriedly stood up and said.

"You don't have to die, just take a trip to Songzhou. You take my holy decree to find Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Tell them that I can re-canonize Li Shimin as the king of Qin, and Li Jiancheng as the king of Qi. And that's not all. I can also ask Xu Shiji to send 30,000 troops to help them sweep away Tuyuhun. Li Chengzong said in a deep voice.

Li Shentong began to think that it was a good thing, even if he went away to Songzhou, what did it matter. But how can I touch the taste and feel wrong, how did Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng go? was forced away by Li Chengzong, and it can also be said that he was coerced and lured away. If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin accept this holy decree, it is equivalent to admitting that they are still the princes of the Tang Dynasty and the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. After destroying Tuyuhun, Li Chengzong issued a holy decree, and there was nothing to do with them.

"Your Majesty, what if they don't take the will?" Thinking of this, Li Shentong had to ask carefully.

"It's better if you don't agree, and I'll see them fend for themselves. Don't they all say that Li Shimin is both wise and resourceful? A little Tuyuhun, he thinks he can deal with it, he can handle it. Li Chengzong didn't force this. They agreed, and in the future, they could sit on the territory occupied by Tuyuhun with a word, but Xu Shiji's there would inevitably lose a lot of soldiers and horses. They didn't agree, Li Chengzong waited for Tuyuhun or Li Shimin to be defeated, and sent troops to clean up the mess.

Li Shendao: "When will the old minister leave?" ”

Li Chengzong said: "Zhu Bajie has sent someone to prepare everything, and my guards will personally send you over." ”

"Let's go now?" Li Shentong was a little surprised, and said in his heart that he was not so anxious!

"The news of Xu Shiji in Songzhou said that Li Shimin had started a war with Tuyuhun despite the wind and snow. He also asked many times whether he should ask for help and lead the troops to help. No matter how late it is, I'm afraid it's useless for you to go. Li Chengzong explained.

"The old minister takes the order." Li Shentong didn't say anything more.

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng don't know if they can win and stand their ground." At present, the Turkic affairs are clear, and the war on both sides is afraid that the treasury will be difficult to support. ”

Someone had already reminded him, and Pei Lin shut his mouth. The Tang Dynasty has just settled down in recent years, and Li Chengzong has been stable in the world for more than a year since he ascended the throne, and there are very few rogues and thieves. But the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty have not passed long, and there are still hundreds of wastes waiting to be rebuilt everywhere, and it is absolutely impossible to be busy fighting the Quartet.

Li Chengzong muttered: "I don't want to go to war on both sides, so I want to recall Li Jing's 100,000 troops." ”

"Recall?" The three of them said in unison.

"That's right, I am determined to help Li Shimin and the others pacify Tuyuhun first, and then talk about the Turkic affairs. Let them survive for a while, and then raise an army in three to five years. Li Chengzong had to grit his teeth when he spoke, and calculate it before and after, this expedition was a big loss.

Xiao Yu said: "But Your Majesty promised to give Li Jing a year." ”

"A year is too long, I can't leave the army out for a year, it takes too many supplies. It's not that I can't afford it, it's that it's not cost-effective. Besides, I am also worried that the Turks have been avoiding the war and finally dragging down my 100,000 soldiers. I hope the two of you will go to this matter in person. ”

"Shall I go both?" Pei Lin wondered.

"That's right, I sent two people to take over Li Jing's soldiers and horses, and all of them were transferred back to Taiyuan. The second is to wait for the Turkic civil war to subside, and then negotiate peace talks with the Turks or Jieli, as for who to negotiate with, it depends on which of them survives to the end. Li Chengzong said.

"What about Li Jing?" Pei Lin then asked.

"Let's go back to Chang'an for the time being! When the army arrives in Taiyuan, we will preside over the military affairs of the big and small regions, and then discuss the specific arrangements in the coming year. Li Chengzong said.

Xiao Yu and Pei Lin took the order, and the three of them left the palace. Li Shentong's family didn't go back to Chang'an and went straight to Songzhou. Pei Lin and Xiao Yu were slightly better, and they didn't leave until dawn the next day. (To be continued......)
