"Minister, Xiao Yu, Minister Wen Yanbo supports His Majesty's Northern Expedition." Prime Minister Xiao Yu and Imperial Historian Wen Chanbo stood up at the same time.

"Minister, Wei Zheng supports His Majesty's Northern Expedition." The newly appointed secretary, Cheng Wei Zheng, stepped forward.

"Minister Li Jing, Minister Chi Jingde, Minister Sun Shunde, Minister Chai Shao support the Northern Expedition, we are willing to lead the troops to the battle, for Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, I will not give up." The generals also stood up.

"The ministers support His Majesty's Northern Expedition." The other ministers who were still hesitant and did not move, whether they were happy or not, saw that the main officials and generals in the six ministries of the three provinces stood up in support, and everyone could only follow suit.

"Very good, since everyone has expressed their attitude, from now on, the Northern Expedition will be the most important thing for my dynasty, no matter what contradictions there are between you before this, or what little ninety-nine you have in your hearts, all of them will be put away by me."

"I am not an unreasonable person, pay attention to the first courtesy and then the soldiers, and now I will say ugly things in front, during the Northern Expedition, no matter who or for what reason they did something unfavorable to the Northern Expedition, once it is verified, they will be punished for treason, and the nine clans will be punished." Li Shimin glanced at the hundred officials and said with a calm face.

"Your Majesty should remember your majesty's teachings." Everyone's hearts sank, and they immediately expressed their position.

After Li Shimin announced this matter, he began to point out generals, and he appointed Shangshu Gejing of the Criminal Department as the commander of the Northern Expedition, Chai Shao as the head of the Shengzhou Road March, Li Shiji as the head of the Tongmo Road March, and Li Daozong as the head of the Datong Road March.

Wei Xiaojie served as the head of the march of Heng'an Road, Xue Wanshu was the head of the march of Changwu Road, and Wei Chi Jingde was the governor of Xiangzhou, that is, the head of the march of Xiangzhou, with a total of 200,000 troops.

Li Jing, Chai Shao, Wei Chi Jingde, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanshu and others stepped forward to receive the order, and on 20 August, they opened the allocation in batches and marched north.

Before Li Jing left, he was invited by Li Shimin to the imperial study for a detailed discussion, and no one knew what he was talking about.

"Auxiliary, the battle of the Northern Expedition has finally begun, but in my heart, I panicked fiercely." After all the armies left and the commander Li Jing also set off, Li Shimin summoned the eldest grandson Wuji to the Ganlu Hall and sighed lightly.

Since deciding to go on the Northern Expedition, he has never shown the slightest uneasiness in others, as if he had already grasped all this.

Only he himself knows the heaviness of his heart, and the ministers of civil and military affairs present know more about the Turks than he does, except for Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Expedition, probably not thinking about it as a second person.

Even if the Turks are suffering from internal and external troubles and problems at this moment, they are by no means fat that anyone can gnaw on.

In recent years, Jieli has been too brutal and blindly excludes dissent, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the leaders of various tribes, but his iron fist has also shocked many people.

There are many people who hate him, and there are even more people who are afraid of him, and the 200,000 iron horsemen under his command are extremely brave, and Li Shimin has done a lot of mental construction for himself in advance in order to fight this battle.

"Your Majesty, the world believes that we will not be defeated." The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin's mood very well, he was also very bottomless and panicked, before this battle ended, no one dared to guarantee that the victory would be on his side, he listened to Li Shimin's words, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I also believe that you are the chief grain and grass dispatcher of this war, and you will soon be stationed in the grain and grass camp, and in addition to Dai Guan, Xuan Ling and Du Ruhui, I am also your strongest and powerful backup, so you don't have to have any worries," Li Shimin said.

"The minister knows, Your Majesty, please rest assured, although the minister is now a civil minister, he is actually a military general, and everyone else thinks that the minister's methods are too tough, only Your Majesty is always worried that I am soft." The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Haha, after talking to you, I unconsciously relaxed a lot in my heart, by the way, Qian'er is now eleven years old, twelve years old, as a prince, this age is really not too young, I want him to follow you to experience the experience, are you willing to take him?" Li Shimin laughed, remembered his son, and said again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sensible and intelligent, and he often reminds him when he follows the minister, if the minister can't ask for it, how can he be unwilling?" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said, Li Chengqian at this time was smart and sensible, from the emperor to the courtiers, and he was very satisfied with this prince.

"Then it's decided, you go to the grain and grass camp first, and I'll have someone send the prince over in two days." Li Shimin nodded.

After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Shimin went to the queen's palace, and since the decision to go on the Northern Expedition, he has not been to any concubines for a while, nor has he summoned anyone to sleep.

After the daily approval, he summoned the ministers to discuss the matters related to the Northern Expedition in the Ganlu Palace, and often discussed it until midnight, and even the queen did not come here for more than 20 days.

"I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty St. Ann." When Li Shimin came, he didn't let anyone inform him, so he came, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Lizheng Palace were startled when they suddenly saw him, and hurriedly bowed their heads and asked for peace.

"Get up." Li Shimin's feet did not stop, and he spoke as he strode towards the inner hall.

When he entered the dormitory of Empress Changsun, the eldest grandson was teasing his young son, who was just over a year old, in the small flower hall, and when he heard the people at the door asking for peace, he knew that the emperor was coming.

She hurriedly walked over and saluted Li Shimin: "I have seen Your Majesty, but the concubines didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, and they didn't come to greet her, and they hoped to forgive their sins." ”

"Arise, arise, between you and me, why bother with this? I've been too busy lately, I haven't been here for more than half a month, and I haven't seen a pheasant slave, how is this kid? Have you been good lately? Li Shimin pulled her up, walked to his son with her, and reached out to pinch his face that was getting more and more beautiful.

"It's very well-behaved, when the pheasant slave was in the belly of the concubine, he was more well-behaved than his brothers and sisters, and rarely tossed the concubine, but now that he is born, he is more and more sensible, except for being hungry or urinating, he basically doesn't cry at other times." Empress Eldest Sun's gaze fell on her son, and the smile on her face was as bright as a flower.

"Well, it's really a cute boy, but he's a little more delicate, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes are more like you, not too much like me." Li Shishang looked at his son who was crawling around on the couch, and pinched his white and tender face with some dissatisfaction.

"Bad like a concubine? Does the concubine's face hinder the view? Empress Eldest Sun glared at her husband a little unhappily when she heard this.

"Haha, the queen's appearance is unparalleled, like you is naturally good, but the pheasant slave is a man, and it is better to look heroic." Li Shimin looked at his wife's delicate and angry appearance, his heart fluttered slightly, and he unconsciously reached out to hold her hand.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin has not been touched by women for almost a month, and now looking at his wife who is lightly angry and angry, his heart ripples, and his eyes darken unconsciously.
