Today, because of his sorrow for the rebels who had lost their lives in the Persian Empire, James sat in a daze at the window after breakfast.

The delicate seal he held in his hand was a gift from James's father, Yazdelrim, who had just overthrown the Persian regime.

His father had promised that as long as he was there, he would never have food and clothing for James.

But now? Everything came to naught, but after only a year of victory, the rebels were destroyed by the royalists.

However, James may not have known that at the same time in the palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin gathered all his close ministers to discuss the changes that had taken place in the Persian Empire in the past two years.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, compared with our Tang Dynasty, the so-called Persian Empire has undergone several regime changes, and the people have already been overwhelmed, if our Tang Dynasty can run long distances, we will definitely be able to completely destroy them!"

Cheng Biting Jin, who was like the Black Iron Tower, said categorically, "And I heard that the Shenji Mansion has recently developed several powerful weapons, with these things, what are we afraid of Datang?" ”

"You're right!"

Fang Xuanling glanced at Cheng Cheng and said: "The big food on the side of Persia has grown in just a few years, they are like the newborn rising sun, the momentum of development is unstoppable, if we destroy that Persia, then the big food will inevitably border my Datang, and then it will be adjacent to Tianzhu......

Before Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Wei Chi Jingde interrupted him: "Fang Xiang, you can't say that!" With the current strength of our Datang, how can we be afraid of a newly rising big food? What's more, His Royal Highness King Wu has also returned to Chang'an, with the courage of His Royal Highness King Wu, he will definitely support us, right? ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Shimin didn't know what he remembered. Shook his head.

Li Shimin's words made everyone below stunned, what does Your Majesty mean by this? Those who are familiar with King Wu know that this master is notoriously belligerent, and if he is told that there is a fight, even if he is not allowed to go, he will have to intervene in a wild way.

Li Shimin looked at the expressions on everyone's faces with some amusement. "What? Isn't that weird? ”

"Father, with Erchen's understanding of the Four Emperors, there is no reason for him to let go of such a good opportunity?" Li Chengqian said that it was difficult to understand what Li Shimin said.

"What if your Fourth Emperor Uncle plans to take all of Persia without bloodshed?"

Li Shimin took out a wolf pen with undotted ink from the dragon case, and smiled wantonly: "The Prince Benjamin and Princess Sofina that the Persian royalists are looking for are now in the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion!" Moreover, I have secretly sent a team of strategists to make plans for solving the problem of taking Persia! ”

"What? Is this true? ”

"I see, such an important chip is in our hands. Why not directly support the royalists? ”

Li Shimin's words shocked all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were inexplicably shocked.

"This ...... Father, there is no shortage of ministers and wise generals in our court, why do you ......" Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others on his side, and said with some surprise.

If this kind of thing is their father and son, they should be behind closed doors, talking to themselves, and they can't say it in front of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't that a clear distrust of them?

Compared with the look of surprise on Li Chengqian's face, Fang Xuanling and the others didn't seem to care.

Li Shimin was not surprised by the calm expressions of the ministers. Instead, he continued to smile and say:

"All of you present are the ministers of my Tang Dynasty, but for Persia, you can only use intrigue and trickery, and no one who has a conspiracy or a righteous heart can participate in this matter. So leave these things to outsiders! ”

"Oh!"

Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's subconscious meaning, and it seemed that Li Shimin was secretly forming a team of strategists. Eighty percent of people are not Tang people, and when the big thing is done, it must be the time when the strategist team disappears.

……

After noon, Li Yuanba came out of the palace and came to the palace in a leisurely manner.

I don't know what urgent matters the emperor has. actually sent Liu Sanshui to pick up Li Yuanba from his nap like a duck.

"Brother Huang, what is the matter with you looking for me?" As soon as he entered the Lizheng Palace, Li Yuanba shouted with a depressed face.

Li Shimin, who was eating lunch, looked up at Li Yuanba, who was full of resentment, and said, "What? Look at the way you look, it seems to be very resentful? ”

Li Yuanba rolled his eyes, took a pair of chopsticks from the hand of Empress Changsun, sat down beside Li Shimin, and said: "When you try to sleep soundly, someone shouts loudly outside your door a hundred times, 'Lord, Your Majesty is calling, there is a big event'!" ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanba rolled up a lotus leaf cake and took a hard bite.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Don't say it, this Liu Sanshui is really reliable!" If this matter is put on me, Bacheng will directly push this kid out of the noon gate and behead him! ”

"Okay, Brother Huang, you just want to say it, if you really want to cut down Liu Sanshui, you must be reluctant, right?" Li Yuanba swallowed the duck meat in his mouth and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what are you doing recruiting me in so much hurry?" ”

Li Shimin wiped his mouth and said, "You may not believe it!" Tell you, we have committed treason with a nail we planted in Persia. ”

Li Yuanba, who was shaking his head and biting the chicken leg in his hand, first shook it, and then chewed it heavily.

For a while, the room was filled with the sound of Li Yuanba biting, and nothing else.

After about a cup of tea, when a chicken leg was finished, Li Yuanba exhaled lightly and said, "Who is it?" ”

Li Yuanba is in charge of the border passes of the Tang Dynasty and the Tianji Guard secret spies sent to other countries of Fanbang, especially for the Tianji Guard secret spies lurking in the capitals of the big countries around the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanba can almost all name them.

"The capital of Persia, the shopkeeper of the Celestial Empire, Li Weiyong!" Li Shimin's face was gloomy, obviously he didn't expect this guy to commit treason.

This Li Weiyong was not originally surnamed Li, he was the personal guard of the Emperor Li Yuan, he once almost died under the enemy's arrows in order to save Li Yuan, and it is precisely because of this that Li Yuan immediately rewarded Li Weiyong and Li Xing after ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

It's just that Li Weiyong once served under the command of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, and Li Shimin didn't treat him well.

Later, this Li Weiyong helped Li Shimin make great contributions in the Xuanwumen Change, which was reactivated by Li Shimin.

Originally, according to Li Shimin's meaning, how could Li Weiyong's merits be made a hereditary earl, who knew that Li Weiyong actually volunteered to enter the Tianjiwei, and self-dispatched to Persia, becoming the deputy head of the Tang Tianjiwei branch in the Persian Empire.
