In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin put down the last book of the day.

Because of the Gaochang Rebellion, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, as well as the Honglu Temple and the generals in the army have delivered a lot of sparse performances, even if it is the New Year's Festival, they can't be idle at all.

Hou Junji's expedition has been decided, he only summoned him once in the Chengqing Palace, and before it was fully explained, Hou Junji took the initiative to ask for help.

However, Li Shimin understands that he is said to be active, but in fact he is forced.

As soon as the summoning order was reached, Hou Junji understood that he had to go to Gaochang this time, and it was better to take the initiative than to let the emperor pull down his face and speak seriously.

In this way, the monarch and the ministers will not embarrass each other, and the face will be better, and of course, the county king will have more regret in his heart.

The men who went out were chosen, and the number of soldiers and horses was set, which was worth 6,000 soldiers and horses.

If the number of people is larger, the number of soldiers and civilians transporting grain and grass at the foot of Qilian Mountain will need to be multiplied, which is obviously not what Datang can afford at present.

Therefore, we can only expect Hou Junji to lead these 6,000 elite soldiers and horses through thousands of miles of the Gobi Desert and successfully quell the Gaochang Rebellion.

Although there has not yet been a reply to the cooperation of Tuyuhun's side, considering the relationship between the two sides, there is no problem in thinking about it.

At present, the most important thing is to ensure a good march route and the supply of grain and grass, and Li Shimin found a very interesting thing when he was worried about this.

Unconsciously, the military department and the household department have suddenly had a grassroots official in Longyou Hexi, and they all took active action to prepare for Hou Junji's pacification of Gaochang.

This is a bit of a surprise.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he was curious about the identities of these people, when did the officials of the Tang Dynasty have such a high level of consciousness and enthusiasm?

Obviously unlikely, Li Shimin doesn't feel so good about himself.

As an emperor, it was easy to find out this information, and soon the final result pointed to the East Palace and Li Chengqian.

When you see this final result. Li Shimin smiled.

His idea was very simple, he felt that Li Chengqian had grown up, and he was using this way to share worries for the court and himself. As for the matter of his son silently cultivating his own power, he also saw it, but he did not have an overreaction.

They are all from the prince, and there is nothing strange about having some cronies, as long as it is controlled within a certain range, it doesn't matter.

Li Shimin was quite relieved, he didn't expect his son to have more unpredictable intentions. It's not that he doesn't have enough imperial skills, but as a father, he still has faith in his son.

The prince has grown!

Very good! Li Chengqian was secretly happy in his heart, feeling that his previous approach had worked, and only by increasing the pressure could Li Chengqian be anxious and continue to grow.

So this whetstone plan can be continued, Li Shimin subconsciously made up his mind.

Putting down the pen, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Is the matter of the Wei Palace?" ”

Under a corner in the Chengqing Palace. An inconspicuous eunuch walked out and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the palace is ready, and the Wei Wangfu is also actively preparing to take over." There is no mistake. ”

"What about the reward? You ready? ”

Li Shimin's question was a little abrupt, so the eunuch was slightly surprised, and hesitated slightly: "To His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the reward for the princess and the prince has been prepared." I don't know if Your Majesty still has orders? ”

Li Shimin muttered: "Prepare a gift for the elders of Yankang Fang, and then prepare a decree to announce it on the day of the Wei Palace." The people of Yankangfang are exempted from paying taxes for one year. ”

"Yes!" The eunuch's eyelids moved slightly, obviously a little surprised, but he still immediately agreed, he knew very well what these things meant and what kind of impact they would have in the end.

The emperor is not confused, and it naturally makes sense to make such an arrangement, so he will not have any doubts, only obedience and obedience.

"By the way, I heard that Cheng Qian and Qingque both went to Shaoling Plateau today?" Li Shimin suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

The eunuch bowed his head and said, "Yes, there is a polo match, which is now over, and the crown prince and the king of Wei, as well as the people of various prefectures, have returned." ”

"How's it going?"

"This ......"

Li Shimin originally just asked casually, but when he saw the eunuch hesitate slightly, he suddenly frowned, and asked, "But what happened?" ”

"Yes......" The eunuch did not dare to conceal it, and immediately came to the Shaoling Plateau one by one, without missing a single detail, impartial, and clear. He was not at the scene, but his words seemed to be in a state of mind, which surprised people with his source and accuracy.

"Chengqian and Qingque bet are different? Pheasant slaves are also involved? Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"Yes, the prince bet on the Du family, the king of Wei bet on the Wei family, and the king of Jin voted for a draw, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin bet, probably to help Xie Changshi relieve the siege." The eunuch was also outspoken, and he never hid anything.

"Pheasant slave, this kid ......" Li Shimin sighed lightly and didn't say any more, but his eyes were extremely deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's going on with the conflict between Xie Yi and the Wei family?" After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin immediately asked about another life.

"Originally, it was because of the child's ......" The eunuch then slowly explained the situation, still trying to be detailed.

"The peaceful girl of Jiangxia Palace's participation in it? The son is also involved? ”

"Yes, the county lord of Jincheng of Jiangxia County came forward to defend Wu Er Niangzi and Xie Xiaoniang, Princess Jinyang and Xie Xiaoniang have always been familiar with each other, so they also came forward."

Li Shimin continued to ask: "Qingque came forward to defend the Wei family? Didn't help the son-in-law? ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei said peace from this, perhaps to ease the conflict." The eunuch did not cut it out this time, but gave a somewhat inexplicable assumption.

Li Shimin snorted lightly, did not answer, and looked a little unhappy.

If Li Tai saw this situation, he would definitely be frightened, at that time, he only thought about maintaining the Wei family, but forgot a very important matter.

That is the feeling of Princess Jinyang, and she has forgotten the weight of this sister of a fellow mother in the emperor's heart.

It's not wrong to settle things and intercede for others, but as an elder brother, it's wrong to ignore the facts and wronged his sister, plus it's too much to argue with Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin vaguely felt that Li Tai did not do well in terms of brothers, friends and brothers.

And Li Chengqian's performance seems to be good, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have this idea at the time, just to sow discord, but it is an indisputable fact that he inadvertently defended his sister.

This is the situation that Li Shimin hopes to see, and he has a little more good feeling in his heart. On top of that, things seem a bit complicated today, and there are many things to consider.

For example, Xie Yi, it stands to reason that he made Xue Yantuo return, which can be regarded as a meritorious service to the country, and should be rewarded for meritorious deeds. But now in this situation, Li Shimin can't help but hesitate a little, how to reward him? (To be continued.) )
