Li Ke was a little surprised, this can form a small court, I don't know what Li Shimin asked them to do.

However, after the court, everyone naturally went straight to the Liangyi Palace, and when they arrived, Li Shimin directly called everyone into the Liangyi Palace.

"Sit." After saluting, Li Shimin asked everyone to sit down, the chairs here had already been prepared, and when everyone was seated, Li Shimin asked Chang Lin to speak.

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, on April 23 of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Jingbu led the light cavalry of Xue Orphan to fight with the Tuyuyuhun army at Mantou Mountain (Riyue Mountain on the south bank of Qinghai Lake in later generations), killed the prince of Tuyuhun, and captured more than 30,000 miscellaneous animals."

"Later, the army pushed to Niuxindui (the southern shore of Qinghai Lake) and killed part of Tuyuhun's troops again."

"After the army advanced to Chishuiyuan (Mantou Shanxi), Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche led the army, and Qibi He Li reinforced and captured Murong Xiujun, the king of Nanchang, and captured more than 80,000 miscellaneous animals."

"On the first day of the fifth month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Daliang's troops captured more than 20 princes of Tuyuhun in Shuhun Mountain (the western mountainous area of Tianjun County, Qinghai) and seized 50,000 heads of miscellaneous animals. At the same time, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche broke the main force of Tuyuhun led by King Tianzhu, the prime minister of Tuyuhun in Chihai (Chaka Salt Lake), and seized more than 200,000 miscellaneous animals. ”

After hearing Chang Lin's latest 800-mile expedited report, Li Ke understood why Li Shimin called him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone hurried to congratulate them, and this was indeed good news.

"Well, Li Ke, the Red Sea has been taken, your plan can be executed, what do you think of the current behavior of our Tang Army?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke glanced at the others, except for his eldest brother Li Chengqian, who was a little surprised, the other ministers were all calm, obviously Li Shimin had already passed through them. However, ventilation is ventilation, but what should be said and the attitude that should be shown must be indicated.

"Back to my father, this matter only shows one thing." Li Ke spoke calmly.

"In international exchanges, strength is always the basis for upholding justice, national defense is the real backing of diplomacy, and dignity is only on the edge of the sword! The truth is only within the radiation range of Iron Rider II! What is Iron Rider? The Iron Rider is a measure of the land area! Li Ke said loudly.

"Well said!" Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke with some surprise, although his words were straightforward, but they directly pointed out the most critical point between state-to-state exchanges.

Li Ke's words made the several generals present also a little enthusiastic, but it was not their turn in this battle, and everyone knew what they were calling them to do today.

"So, Chihai's affairs can be executed, what do you think?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, suddenly wanted to test him, and asked with a smile.

"Erchen personally went to the Western Regions." Li Ke stood up directly.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, Li Ke could guess his thoughts?! Li Ke's words made all the ministers present slightly stunned, Li Ke went in person?

"The final handling of the Battle of Tuyuhun this time is different from the past, General Li Jing cannot represent the Tang Dynasty, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty can!" Li Ke said lightly, he had already thought about why Li Shimin asked him to come just now.

In other words, this battle report in Li Shimin's hand is not the first battle report he received, Li Shimin received it before he was crowned King of Qin, and he must have known it in his heart, with the current situation, he knew that Li Jing would definitely be able to completely exterminate the entire Tuyuhun later.

Coupled with the plan discussed with Li Ke before, then King Qin himself is a kind of representative!

First, Qin, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, unified China, and Qin's family was in Longyou and Guanneidao.

Second, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and it is impossible to go to the Western Regions. But the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty is the title of Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven! Now that this title has reappeared, and he has gone to the Western Regions in person, it itself represents an attitude of Li Shimin.

Third, Li Jing is a minister, and when dealing with a country, he has no right to dispose of it, unless Li Shimin gives him this right in advance, but the war has not yet been fought, this right cannot be given, and even if he wins, it is impossible to give it to the front commander, and he will appoint another important minister. And Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin gave him this right, then he has the right to deal with the country.

Therefore, Li Ke understood that Li Shimin definitely wanted him to go to the Western Regions to deal with this matter in person.

Li Ke thought about it, he really had to go to this matter, the matter of Chaka Salt Lake seemed simple, but there were some rules, he had to set up! That's why Li Ke said this.

Li Ke's words made Li Shimin nod with satisfaction, but Li Chengqian was thoughtful.

"I called you here today to discuss with you what I said before, Li Ke is willing to pay for the Chihai laid down by Li Jing and other Tang soldiers for the development and sale of salt, because Chihai is located in the Western Regions, in order to ensure the safety of its industry, I Datang will station 50,000 elite soldiers in the local area."

"For this reason, Li Ke is willing to give 300,000 yuan of the income of the Chihai Sea to the local garrison, if the income of 300,000 yuan is less than 300,000 guan, Li Ke will make up for 300,000 guan, in addition, in order to sympathize with the hardships of the officers and soldiers stationed in the frontier, I am willing to pay 300,000 guan every year to hire retired and injured meritorious soldiers, and give them monthly money, and they will buy grain from various provinces in the interior of the Tang Dynasty and send it to Chihai."

"These funds do not need to be funded by the government treasury. Do you have any objections? Li Shimin asked with a calm face.

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone's expressions were somewhat weird, not to mention that the Chihai Sea was originally Tuyuhun's territory, but now that the Tang Dynasty has beaten down, Li Ke bought it.

But for Li Ke's industry, the Datang garrison has 50,000 elite soldiers! This is outrageous. But after listening to the rest of the words, I don't feel outrageous. Thirty thousand times a Chinese New Year's Eve! This money is given to the officers and soldiers stationed here, this is a bitter fart!

The point is that Li Shimin is willing to contribute another 300,000 yuan, and without the contribution of the imperial treasury, he can station 50,000 elite soldiers in the local area for free! What is this concept?!

Those who can come here today are not stupid, and they instantly understood the benefits of doing so, and they didn't need the imperial court to raise troops, and they could still garrison 50,000 elite soldiers, which is of course a good thing.

It's just that for the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other Wenchen, they are somewhat frowned, because this operation is ...... No matter how you think about it, it reveals a strong ...... How so? Anyway, this taste is not so right, and they agree with the matter itself.

But what made them frown was that this matter bypassed the court!

That's right! This matter did not pass through the court at all, and theoretically Li Shimin could do it without the consent of any of them!

It seems that the garrison seems to have to be discussed with the court, but this is a more direct statement by Li Shimin, saying that it is to protect Li Ke's industry, if Li Shimin says that he has defeated Tuyuhun to garrison the local army, this is very reasonable, right? Nothing wrong with it, right?

If this excuse is used, can the court still not let the garrison? As for the later operations, they are all Li Shimin's own operations, and no one can say anything.

The point is that there is no need for the court to pay, and Li Shimin has communicated with everyone before, so he didn't say anything about the detailed rules at all!

This majesty was also damaged by Li Ke, this time to bypass the court, then next time Li Ke can still bypass? Wouldn't their control over national affairs be very low in the future? So even Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others frowned a little.
