But in fact, most of these women are actually nurseries invited by Qin Shou.

In order to start the reputation of the incense pavilion.

Although as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it takes time to settle.

Qin Shou now has less than a month left, so naturally he can't wait for time to settle down and spread his reputation.

So he used modern marketing methods to help Yinxiang Pavilion open up the situation.

Facts have proved that Qin Shou's scruples are really right.

Because, the offensive of the Turks came earlier than recorded in history.

Early the next morning.

The Great Pilgrimage began.

Last night's emergency report from the northwest caught everyone off guard.

Even now, only a few of Li Shimin's cronies and Hou Junji of the military department know about it.

Early in the morning, on the fourth watch.

Outside the main hall, hundreds of officials gathered.

"Lord Fang, doesn't your face seem to be very good?"

There were officials of the Ministry of Rites who were familiar with Fang Xuanling, and when they saw that Fang Xuanling had been frowning, they took the initiative to come forward to talk.

Fang Xuanling sighed faintly, frowned, and did not speak.

The official of the Ministry of Rites just wanted to ask something more, but saw Fang Xuanling wave his hand and said, "Lord Wang, you will know when you get to the court in a while." ”

At this moment, the door of the main hall was slowly opened.

The hundred officials quickly entered the manna hall.

But as soon as they entered the main hall, all the officials felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was even more cold.

What's going on?

All the officials were a little uneasy, and quietly looked at the faces of others with their spare eyes.

Li Shimin slowly let out a sigh, beckoned, and said, "Say it." ”

Behind him, the eunuch hurriedly held an urgent report and slowly repeated the contents of it.

It was probably Jieli Khan who led his troops to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, there is also a new move on the Tibetan side, and it seems that it is also ready to move.

In other words, Datang's current situation is that it is under attack.

This news exploded in the court in an instant.

The shame of Zhenguan in the first year has not been forgotten, and now the Tang Dynasty may encounter this kind of thing again, which makes these officials not worried.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was shocked.

Needles can be heard in the main hall.

At this moment, the situation can no longer be summed up as serious.

The Turks and Tibetans actually wanted to besiege the Tang Dynasty at the same time, which was unprecedented.

It is no wonder that after the news that the Tibetan envoys were left in Chang'an by Li Shimin a while ago reached Tubo, there was no movement on the Tibetan side.

It turned out that they had already colluded with the Turks and wanted to deal a fatal blow to Datang.

And it was just after the Yongzhou plague!

"How's that going to be?!"

"I said a long time ago, you shouldn't have done so much to the Tibetan envoys, look at it, you won't be retaliated against now!"

"Shut up, are we going to be ridden in the face by the Tibetans? If I don't do this, where is my face? ”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Li Shimin slammed the case and shouted angrily: "Enough, what are you talking about?" ”

"Is now the time to talk about this? It's not time for me to be held accountable! ”

"Li Jian, let me ask you, some time ago, I asked the Ministry of Industry to make a siege crossbow, how is it progressing now?"

was suddenly named by His Majesty, Li Jian hurriedly came out of the ranks, and said truthfully: "The Ministry of Industry has been working day and night, and now thirty siege crossbows have been produced. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and ordered: "Then hand it over to Li Shangshu, and I want it to appear on the battlefield." ”

Li Shimin finished speaking.

Li Jian hurriedly nodded in response, and then slowly retreated into the column.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jian's movements, suddenly glared at him, and said angrily: "What are you going back to do?" ”

"I didn't say it, I want you to do it now!"

"Li Jing, you also send someone to receive the siege crossbow, and by the way, find soldiers to be familiar with how to operate."

Li Jian is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say what he is suffering, where did His Majesty just say that he wants to do it now.

But now that His Majesty was angry, he naturally didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated after answering the silence.

Li Jing was also in response, just about to leave.

Suddenly, I heard Li Shimin's voice behind me, "By the way, after dealing with the siege crossbow, you go and bring your set and come to see me together." ”

"Wow〜"

As soon as these words came out, the court was immediately quiet.

Your Majesty is entrusting the prince with a heavy responsibility, and His Majesty actually wants to let the prince, a person who has not led troops to fight, participate in this kind of battle that is a matter of survival.

It's not just about gilding.

If this battle is won, I am afraid that the distribution of power in the imperial court will change the sky.

In this way, the interests of certain ministers must be touched.

As a result, there were other opposing voices all around.

"Your Majesty, no! The prince has never led a soldier, and the stakes are very high in this battle, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear this burden. ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"If the prince is set up, there are three long and two short on the battlefield!"

Hearing these words, Li Shimin's heart was slightly cold, and his gaze slowly crossed the face of Baiguan.

He sneered and said slowly: "You don't want to threaten me with any righteousness, I know very well what you think. ”

"Eu'er is my child, and I believe he can afford it."

"Then again, since you're all so opposed, why don't you send the child to the battlefield?"

Of course, Li Shimin naturally will not be confused in this matter.

He asked Qin Shou to go out with the army, but only as the deputy commander, and to conquer the Turks together, there was Li Jing as the general and Cheng Yanjin as the deputy commander.

After Li Shimin's words settled, the upward voice disappeared again.

Silent.

No one wants to send their children to war.

After all, this time is not a small battle.

This time, it was the Turks who colluded with the Tibetans and threatened to destroy the Tang Dynasty.

The tragedy is self-evident.

After Li Shimin adjusted his emotions, he looked at Wei Chigong and said, "Wei Chigong, I order you to be the head of the march." Li Xun'er was the vanguard officer and was ordered to meet the Tubo army. ”

Downwards and backwards.

Fang Xuanling returned to the ministry, but he couldn't settle down.

He gave orders to all things, and then got up and went to the palace.

After Fang Xuanling told Qin Shou about this, Qin Shou was just stunned, and then returned to his senses.

Fang Xuanling was a little surprised, how could this kid be so calm about such a big matter?

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "Don't you have a trace of pressure?" ”

Qin Shou shook his head lightly and said, "I naturally know the importance of this matter, and my father asked my opinion a few months ago on the matter of conquering the Turks. ”

"But I didn't expect it to turn into the current situation, and now my only concern is that if the Turks concentrate on fighting, I am afraid that the battle line will be stretched a lot."

"I don't know if I can come back before the baby is born."
