"If I don't cure your crimes, release you, let you make meritorious contributions, lead troops to guard the gate of Chang'an, and fight against the Turks, do you dare to accept the holy decree?" Li Shimin stared at him with burning eyes and asked.

"You believe me?" Feng Li raised his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Li Shimin again.

Why not? You are excellent in martial arts, outstanding in military strategy, brave in battle, and when you served as the general of the Yiwei chariot cavalry in the palace of the Hidden Prince, I heard more than once that the soldiers under my command praised you. ”

"At the beginning, you followed Prince Yin and became an enemy of me, but your position was different, not that you had any bad deeds in character, but now you just need to tell me, do you dare to confront the Turks? Are you willing to make meritorious service and help me guard the gate of Chang'an? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"Feng Li is a person who is waiting to die, Your Majesty is so generous, willing to ignore the past suspicions, and give the last general the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, why don't I dare?" Feng Li blurted out.

"Okay, Feng Li took the order, I appointed you as the deputy general of the Left Guard Battalion, subject to Keming and Xuanya, and guarded the Beijing Gate." Li Shimin clapped his hands and praised, and then issued a holy decree.

"The guilty minister is grateful, Your Majesty is so generous and forgiving, the minister is willing to repay him with death." Feng Li pouted, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head in thanks.

"Get up, there is no custom of letting courtiers kneel at will, you go and get a set of military uniforms, and then go and gather all the people who can be summoned in the East Palace in the past, and let Keming and Xuanling take you to the place of defense." Li Shimin stretched out his hand and helped him up.

Don't talk about Li Shimin's side, but talk about Jieli Khan, after he led an army of 200,000 to the bank of the Weishui River, he found that countless military flags were fluttering in Chang'an City, and the military appearance was extremely prosperous, and he was quite puzzled.

According to the informant, the defenders in Chang'an City at this time should be less than 30,000, but judging according to the banner, it will be lower than 100,000 people anyway.

If Li Shimin really has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and then with his unpredictable military methods, it is really not easy for him to conquer Chang'an.

Jieli is ambitious, but he is also very cautious, because of his concerns, he does not want to act blindly, but it is impossible for him to retreat like this, after hesitating, he summoned his generals and leaders from all walks of life to discuss the matter, ready to listen to their opinions.

"Great Khan, if you want to know Li Shimin's truth, this is not simple, send a suitable envoy into the city to meet him and probe his bottom, it will be clear at a glance." The second Khan of the Turks, Tuli, and the Wenchen under the account of the Jieli Khan, offered their plans at the same time.

"Well, you have a point, but who wants to take this errand?" When Jieli heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and he groaned slightly, and looked at the people in the tent again.

"Great Khan, the minister is willing to go and meet Li Shimin." The chief of the Obsessive Department stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

"Very good, stubborn and lose your thinking power, your tongue is notoriously sharp in my grassland, if you go to the bottom of Li Shimin, I believe you will be able to find out his truth and truth." Seeing that the spokesman was obsessed, Jieli immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Stubbornly lost his strength and got the Khan's order, and immediately set off to the Tang Palace to meet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had expected that Jieli would send someone to explore his reality, and he was not surprised at all, and quietly asked the generals who defended the city to bring him into the Chengde Palace.

"I have heard Your Majesty's name for a long time, and it is only natural that I will take over the Tang Dynasty with Your Majesty's military exploits, but I heard that the most suitable place for the Tang Dynasty to live as an emperor should be Taiji Palace."

"But Your Majesty is now living on this territory in the East Palace, could it be because His Majesty's methods of ascending to the throne are not so in line with the rules, resulting in the disagreement between father and son? The contradictions within your Datang have not been resolved yet? ”

As soon as he entered the Chengde Palace, the words that came out of his mouth stabbed the deepest wound in Li Shimin's heart.

When all the ministers heard this, they were all annoyed, and they glared at him one by one with angry faces, and Hou Junji, who came in with a stubborn and thoughtless personality, was furious when he saw this, and the big knife in his hand came out with a bang, and he shouted loudly: "Bold." ”

He had already heard of Hou Junji's name, and knew that this person had a very short temper and killed people like grass, if he cut himself down in a fit of anger, it would be too much of a loss......

"Junji, don't be impatient, you are a grassland person, you have never been taught by the king of my Central Plains, you don't know the gift of filial piety, don't blame him, you don't know who I am, you don't want to talk about these useless things, let's go straight to the topic."

"Tell me, at the beginning of the month, Jieli Khan just sent an envoy to sue for peace, and now it is less than a month, he has rebelled, and the army is approaching my Chang'an, what does he want to do?" Li Shimin waved his hand, stopped Hou Junji, and looked directly at the stubborn thinking force and said.

"Your Majesty is quick to talk, then the stubbornness will be straightforward, my Great Khan sent the stubbornness to come, is to surrender to Your Majesty, our Khan respects Your Majesty's character, and does not want to see the lives of the people in the world."

"For this reason, the Great Khan said that as long as Your Majesty is willing to take the initiative to surrender and welcome our Turkic army into the city, our Khan will not hurt the people of Chang'an, and at the same time, we will set up a small tent for Your Majesty on the side of his Khan tent to borrow Your Majesty's clear residence." Seeing that Li Shimin stopped Hou Junji, he finally let go of his hanging heart, he calmed down slightly, and then spoke.

"Hahaha, Jieli Khan has such a big breath, what if I don't surrender?" Li Shimin laughed three times when he heard it, stared at him coldly and asked.

"If Your Majesty refuses to surrender, my Turkic army of one million will immediately break through the city gate of Chang'an, and at that time, it will be too late for Your Majesty to regret it......" Li Shimin was a little uneasy when he lost his thinking, but he still dared to reply.

"Haha, what a big breath, Jieli this person, greedy and cunning, and no credibility at all, at the beginning of this month, your land just sent an envoy to come over for peace talks, and took countless gold and silver cloths from my Tang Dynasty, and in the blink of an eye, he brought troops to attack."

"I, Li Shimin, have never surrendered since the day I put on the battle robe, since Jieli has such a big breath, then I will go to meet him and see how capable he is."

"As for you, don't go back...... Li Shimin sneered twice and said with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, you ......" Zhi Zhi was shocked, thinking that Li Shimin was going to kill him, and couldn't help shouting.

"Someone comes, take him down first, and guard him strictly." Li Shimin ignored his shouts and had him taken down.

"Your Majesty, isn't it not good for us to treat the Turkic envoys like this?" After being escorted down, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi and other old ministers stood up with an uneasy look on their faces and spoke.

"There's nothing wrong with it, this Jieli faction is obsessed with thinking power, it is to explore our hypocrisy, once I have half a point of weakness, put the stubbornness of thinking back, before the evening, Jieli's 200,000 iron horsemen will break through the gate of Chang'an City." Li Shimin said.
