"Bastard Turk! With such harsh conditions, a prince must be sent to them, they! Do you really think that I have no one in Datang? ”

"Your Majesty, I beg you to allocate two thousand soldiers and horses to me, and I will go out of the city to slaughter these Turks! Let them know that this is my Tang territory, not their broken grassland! If you come, you have to hold it! ”

"Don't be impulsive, now that hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops have arrived on the banks of the Weishui River, how can your two thousand soldiers and horses break the siege, I'm afraid that after being sent out to fight, you won't even be able to listen to a sound."

"Humph! That can't agree to such conditions for the Turks, my old Cheng has been fighting for so many years, and he hasn't been so angry! ”

“…….”

A group of civil ministers and military generals discussed the withdrawal conditions given by the Turkic Khan on the banks of the Weishui River in front of them.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of gloom, and he sat quietly in the main seat.

But that's only a superficial calm.

Inside, there are already turbulent waves.

Now this year, he has just launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and won the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Before he could celebrate, and before his ass could sit hot, the Turks came to the door.

Hundreds of thousands of troops!

Running all the way, destroying and decaying, it has reached the bank of the Weishui River!

If you are not careful, you will come to Chang'an City in the future!

Chang'an has only a few defenders, how can it resist the army of the Turkic country?

Changan! At death's door!

What a stake!

Therefore, Li Shimin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around, discussing countermeasures everywhere, and finally had a face-to-face conversation with Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan said that it was okay for them to withdraw their troops.

After the Tang Dynasty, a lot of grain, grass and materials would be paid every year, and there would be a lot of cattle, sheep, services, etc., which was a shocking amount to look at.

Every Tang Dynasty person saw that even the illiterate people would clench their gums with anger, eager to fight with the Turks.

Can.......

So what can you do?

There are no soldiers in Chang'an, and even some diehards of the eldest brother Li Jiancheng have not had time to deal with it.

Internal and external troubles.

How to contend with the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands.

I can only agree.

Li Shimin sighed and looked at the civilian and military generals who were holding their own opinions, most of them wanted to go to war, while the civilian officials preferred to negotiate peace.

Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, as long as anyone says that there is a war, he will reason with that person until he has nothing to say.

[Thank you for your hard work, auxiliary.] 】

Li Shimin couldn't help but be full of gratitude.

Sure enough, it has to be his childhood friend.

"Don't even make any noise."

Li Shimin stretched out his hand.

In an instant, the otherwise noisy lobby fell silent.

The civil and military officials all looked at him.

There is anger, heat, calmness, shame.......

And so on.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of determination, and he already had an idea in his heart.

"This matter, the Weishui Covenant."

"I, I have decided to promise Jieli Khan that I will send an envoy to discuss the content with him later."

As soon as this remark came out.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

"What, Your Majesty! No, no! This treaty, which knelt on the ground like this, promised future generations, what do you think of us? We're going to be sinners for the ages! ”

"No, what sinners through the ages? Your Majesty! The current situation is not in my Datang, only to recuperate in the future, can we avenge today's revenge! ”

"Your Majesty, please take back your fate, I'd rather die standing up! I don't want to live on my knees! ”

“…….”

Seeing that it was lively again, and it was about to quarrel again, Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hand.

"I've decided on this matter."

"Don't continue to argue, now, it's better to discuss which prince is appropriate to send to the Turks."

Thinking of this candidate for the prince, Li Shimin rubbed his head with a headache.

On the Turkic side, while asking for a lot of materials and food, they also had to take away a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the prince will come to live in the Turks, feel the beauty of the Turks, and promote the friendship between the two countries.

Well said!

Li Shimin knew that this was actually used to bring the famous prince back to show off his might.

See!

This is Li Shimin's son, hahaha, I can't keep the son I beat Li Shimin!

And so on.

Li Shimin can figure it out.

Therefore, this prince actually went to the Turks to suffer.

And in the future, even if he kills the Turks and avenges the Weishui River today, Li Shimin will not bring this prince back to the Tang Dynasty.

Because every time he sees this prince, he will think of the current humiliating history, and the existence of the prince will also disgrace the arrogance of the Li Tang royal family.

The Nuo royal family, the great Tang Dynasty, has a prince who grew up in the Turks, what a shame!

So.

It's an outcast!!

Throw away the Turks, and you will never see the abandoned son again!!

Which one to look for, Li Shimin has no idea for the time being.

First of all, the queen of his own family, that is, the heir of the eldest grandson queen, that is definitely not good.

And Jieli Khan knows the Tang Dynasty very well, and he also understands him Li Tang royal family, if he sends a concubine, he is afraid that he will anger Jieli Khan, thinking that the Tang Dynasty looks down on him and sends an insignificant figure.

Thus, tearing up the treaty.

This is a result that Li Shimin can't afford!

He has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, and he knows that tearing up the Weishui Covenant now is equivalent to the destruction of Chang'an City, and the Tang Dynasty is going to perdition step by step.

So!

It is necessary to send a prince with a decisive position, so that Jieli Khan can't find fault!

And that's where it comes in.

Except for the heirs of Empress Changsun, the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai and others, he can no longer find his more famous son.

How is this good?

Could it be .......

Do you really want to send Li Tai?

"Your Majesty."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the first on the far left, thought of an idea: "The prince is a candidate, but the old minister thinks that there is a suitable one." ”

Li Shimin's eyes flickered: "Oh? Auxiliary, come on! ”

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Such a topic made those generals who opposed the Weishui Covenant feel ashamed, and some of the generals left here directly.

And for now.

Li Shimin saw it in his eyes and didn't bother to care.

He just wanted to know.

Which prince is more suitable to send to the Turks!

Li Shimin's eyes were burning and he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.

Not only him, but most of the Wenchen, including some generals who agreed, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with great anticipation.

Facing everyone's eyes, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled slowly: "That is, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, King Chu, Li Kuan!! ”

King of Chu, Li Kuan!

In an instant, all the ministers were shocked.

They could not have imagined such a candidate.

Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was very mediocre a few years ago, and even died of illness at one point.

Available on a certain day.

That illness was cured, not only that, since then it was like a different person, very smart and clever, helping Li Shimin a lot, and even this year's Xuanwumen Change, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, made a contribution and shot Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

He is much more powerful than other princes, and all the ministers can see that he is far more capable than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
