Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"Brother, tell me, if you were the emperor, how would you deal with the Turks? To fight or not to fight?"

Li Shimin and Su Yu crossed shoulders and leaned on the rocking chair.

The queen got up immediately and put on a piece of clothing for Li Shimin. Although the room was hot, she was afraid that he would catch a cold.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have a very good relationship.

"Old Li, you've lost your word. If I were the emperor, I would be beheaded."

Su Yu laughed.

Just now I said that Lao Li is the emperor, but now I'm back, saying that Su Yu is the emperor.

"It's okay, come out of my mouth and into your ears, no one will know."

Li Shimin blushed and smiled.

The wine was really strong, Li Shimin was half drunk, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also slightly tipsy.

"Lao Li, tell me, should the Turks fight or not?"

Su Yu asked.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Now the court is divided into two factions. The main combat faction headed by Li Jing and Xu Shiji believes that there must be a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. The elite cavalry come and go like the wind, our Tang army is no match, so we should seek peace."

Su Yu was surprised and asked: "Old Li, this is so familiar with the government, doesn't he look like an ordinary businessman?"

This question made Li Shimin break out in a cold sweat.

Almost exposed.

The queen's brain circuit was running wildly.

"Mr. Su, it's like this. When we are in the food business, the biggest list is military rations. We rely on the imperial court's business to make a living. Naturally, we know how the court is doing. Otherwise, how would we do business? If the Tang Dynasty went to war with the Turks, The most important thing to consider is food, do you think we can not care about it?"

The queen is still smart, explaining the cause and effect clearly.

Li Shimin immediately echoed: "Yes, that's exactly the case. Mr. Su, no, dear brother, tell me if this Li Er will go to war with the Turks?"

Su Yu laughed and said: "The Tang Dynasty will definitely have a war against the Turks, and it will definitely win!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shimin was ecstatic.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were shocked.

It is not uncommon for the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to have a war.

But Su Yu said that the Tang Dynasty will win, which is amazing.

From the current point of view, Datang has just experienced the change of Xuanwu Gate, and the court situation is unstable.

Furthermore, floods and droughts last year, snowstorms in winter, and people's livelihoods are exhausted. At this time, it is impossible to win the war with the Turks.

This guy really has a false name.

From their own point of view, they are not very willing to go to war.

Although Du Ruhui is the minister of the Ministry of War, he feels that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as that of the Turks at this time. If there is a war, it will undoubtedly be defeated.

"My dear brother, how do you say this?"

Li Shimin asked anxiously.

"This matter is very simple. The year before last, that is, the ninth year of Wude, Jieli soldiers came to Weishui. It was because Li Er was busy with other affairs at that time, and the morale of the army outside was not stable, so the Turks took advantage of the loopholes. After last year's relief with work, Li Er has already taken control of the imperial court, at least the Guanzhong area is firmly under control. You know, Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor, and controlling Guanzhong means controlling the world. Back then, Qin used this to fight for the world, and Liu Bang called himself emperor. So It is said that the situation of the Tang Dynasty has been stabilized, and it is impossible for Jieli to raid the Wei River and threaten Chang'an City."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui listened quietly, and couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement.

The Weishui alliance was indeed an accident. At that time, Mayi's general fled before the battle, so Jieli drove straight in and entered the city of Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, because of the change of Xuanwu Gate, they were unable to fight in a hurry.

"However, when you say this, you are only saying that the Turks cannot enter the city of Chang'an, but it does not mean that we will win the war with the Turks."

Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, Mr. Su, how can I win the court?"

Li Shimin asked.

That's what he cares most about.

"Hey, this matter is actually simple, why?"

Su Yu laughed.

"Yeah, why?"

Li Shimin wanted to know.

"Well, I'll tell you next time, but let me tell you something more important first."

Su Yu giggled.

Xue Ji poured a small glass of wine and handed it to Su Yu.

"What could be more important than defeating the Turks?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

Su Yu finished drinking, got up, and whispered to Li Shimin, "Luo Yi wants to rebel."

Kang dang
The chopsticks in Li Shimin's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, except Lao Chen and Xue Ji.

They are used to it, and Su Yu is always amazing in his life, and he is used to it.

Looking at the empty wine jar, Lao Chen felt sorry for the five hundred copper coins.

Xue Ji tidied Su Yu's clothes, she didn't care about who rebelled, she only cared about her master's well-being.

But
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they were already stunned in shock.

"Luo Yi wants to rebel? Mr. Su, you can't talk nonsense!"

Du Ruhui was shocked.

Luo Yi, a general at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, was the son of Luo Rong, the general of Zuojianmen in the Sui Dynasty.

In the third year of Wude, he was surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, given the surname Li, and belonged to the imperial family in advance, and was named the king of Yanjun.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to appease and stabilize Luo Yi, he worshiped the third division of Fu Yitong, who was more important than the third prince.

It's not that Li Shimin likes this guy, but that Luo Yi's Youzhou soldiers are too ruthless.

I am great again.

So I can only appease and dare not offend.

Li Shimin gave him Kaifu Yitong Sansi, which is a very high honor, and gave him Youzhou by default.

It is equivalent to a prince of one side, who is actually a king.

Luo Yi had absolutely no reason to rebel.

"It is impossible for Luo Yi to rebel. The current emperor has treated him with great kindness, so it is absolutely impossible to rebel."

said the queen firmly.

Su Yu lay back on the rocking chair and said with a smile, "It's not that Luo Yi can't rebel, but that the current emperor doesn't dare to admit that he will rebel. Think about it, where is the strongest army in the world? Of course it's the Youzhou soldiers. They are the closest to the Turks. For a long time, Luo Yi fought against the Turks, and Luo Yi's Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry was an elite who ruled the world. He once went deep into the Turkic hinterland and killed countless people. If he rebels, it is not certain whether the surname is Li in this world."

Su Yu spoke lightly, but Li Shimin heard it in his ears and gave a deafening feedback.

Fang Xuanling's hands were shaking.

"But, the emperor treated him so well, why did he turn against him?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu said with a smile: "He has a bad relationship with Li Er. Li Er's envoy once went to Luo Yi's barracks and was humiliated. Now that Li Er is the emperor, he must be worried. This is the first reason."

Li Shimin and the queen were dumbfounded. They had sent envoys there before, when Luo Yi had joined Li Jiancheng's party. Li Shimin wanted to win over Luo Yi, but he was scolded and let the envoy eat grass.

This matter is very secret, only Li Shimin and the queen know about it, this Su Yu, how does he know about it?
