Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Shimin withdrew from the court, and the ministers in the court surrounded Lao Chen.

"Chen Concubine, does Su Concubine agree or disagree?"

Li Xiaogong asked.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Hejian King, how could I know."

"If I can guess what the young master is thinking, then I will be No. 1 in the Tang Dynasty."

The ministers nodded, thinking that what Old Chen said made sense.

Su Yu's ideas have always been weird, and no one can guess.

All the ministers dispersed and returned home.

Eunuch Gao came over and said, "My son-in-law, the emperor asked you to come over."

Lao Chen immediately followed into the backyard.

Li Shimin changed his clothes and came out.

"Let's go, go to Sujiazhuang with me, and ask this kid whether to fight or not."

Lao Chen prepared the horse for Li Shimin and went to Sujiazhuang together.

When they arrived at Sujiazhuang, the queen and the others hadn't gotten up yet.

Su Yu is in the courtyard of Princess Gaoyang, so it may be even later when she wakes up.

"Father, do you want to play a few rounds of mahjong first?"

"I guess they didn't get up so fast."

Old Chen said.

Li Shimin was thinking about Goguryeo, so he didn't care about playing mahjong.

"No need, I'll wait here."

Li Shimin said.

Lao Chen went to boil water to make tea, and stayed with Li Shimin.

At noon, the queen came out of the room with Chang Le and Xiao Sizi.

Seeing Li Shimin sitting there alone, the queen smiled and said, "I don't know if the emperor is here, the three of us went to bed late."

"Old Chen is too, why don't you say anything."

Old Chen hehe smiled.

How can a big man like me come into the house to talk about it, but Xue Ji can't see him again.

"It doesn't matter if you go to bed late, that boy Su Yu won't get up yet."

Li Shimin muttered.

Last night was Su Yu and Princess Gaoyang's bridal chamber, so Li Shimin couldn't say anything.

Of course, this is just what Li Shimin thought.

In fact, Su Yu and Gao Yang had been married long ago.

"Is there any urgent matter for the emperor to find Su Yu?"

the queen asked.

"It's the emergency battle report from Youzhou City yesterday, about whether to go to war against Goguryeo."

"Today's court meeting, the ministers have very different opinions, I'm here to ask this kid what to do."

Li Shimin said.

The war with Goguryeo is a military and national event, and it is inconvenient for the queen to ask more questions.

After Chang Le and Xiao Sizi both washed up, they asked the kitchen to cook.

Cooked breakfast and lunch together.

Li Shimin had lunch together, and after waiting for another hour, Su Yu lazily came back from Princess Gaoyang.

As soon as he entered the door, he found Li Shimin sitting there waiting.

"Old Li, why are you here again?"

Su Yu said hello and lay down on her chair.

Li Shimin said: "You brat, what time do you get up now, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The sun was already in the west, so Su Yu walked back in a daze.

If it were a minister of the DPRK and China, he would have been dragged out and beaten with sticks long ago.

Su Yu sighed, "Lao Li, it's not my fault. Your daughter won't let me go out and go home. What can I do?"

This.
Li Shimin was speechless.

It felt like Su Yu was driving, but Li Shimin had no evidence.

"Okay, I won't talk to you, I have urgent business with you."

Li Shimin sat down and said.

"Go ahead."

Su Yu yawned, feeling like she could fall asleep anytime.

Li Shimin said: "Yesterday I received the battle report from Youzhou City, saying that Goguryeo invaded the border and asked the imperial court for reinforcements."

"I want to send troops to conquer and destroy Goguryeo, but the ministers of the DPRK and China have different opinions."

"They said they want you to make up your mind, do you want to fight or not?"

Li Shimin reported the emergency battle to Su Yu.

Su Yu read the battle report, returned it to Li Shimin, and said, "Old Li, you don't want me to fight for you, do you?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "If you are willing to go, that would be great."

Su Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Guess what I'm going to say."

Of course you are thinking farts.

"You don't have to go, tell me to fight or not to fight?"

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu said: "Will you fight or not? You are the emperor. Ask me why."

"You already have the answer in your heart, why ask again."

It can be heard from Li Shimin's tone that he really wants to fight this battle.

"I want to fight this battle, but the ministers of the DPRK and China disagree. They only agree if you agree."

Li Shimin said.

In fact, not only the ministers of the DPRK and China wanted Su Yu to speak.

Li Shimin himself also wanted to find some confidence from Su Yu. Of course, there was also a battle plan, when to send troops, where to march, when to make a decisive battle, and when to return from victory.

Just like when Turks and Gaochang were destroyed.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Old Li, are you the emperor or am I the emperor?"

The queen was beside her and didn't mind such disrespectful words at all.

They are all used to it.

"What would you do if you were the emperor?"

Li Shimin asked.

hiss.
Old Chen was a little overwhelmed when he heard this.

How did the emperor say such a thing, what does it mean if the son is the emperor?
What nonsense.

Su Yu said, "If I were the emperor, of course I would."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, sure enough Su Yu had the same idea as him.

"Why fight? How to persuade those ministers?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Lao Li, I am the emperor, and I can beat whoever I want."

"Those ministers are like my employees, can they still bargain?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "You are right, but the conquest of Goguryeo is a major event after all. If the ministers of the DPRK and China do not agree, this battle cannot be fought."

"Being an emperor, you can't do whatever you want, or you will become a king of subjugation."

Li Shimin spoke rationally, but Su Yu was just joking.

"It's actually very simple. You don't fight back when someone calls at your door? Do you still want to send a princess there for a kiss?"

Su Yu sneered.

"Marriage? Impossible, a small country, it is a great kindness if I don't destroy it."

Li Shimin said disdainfully.

There is no talk of marriage in Tang Dynasty, let alone Goguryeo's fart.

"Also, there is black land in Liaodong, which is very fertile. If you destroy Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, and Khitan, it can become the granary of the Tang Dynasty."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin and the queen were stunned.

"My son-in-law, isn't it right? The land of Liaodong is covered with white snow, so it can only be nomadic. How can it become the granary of the world?"

the queen asked in surprise.

From ancient times to the present, the land of Liaodong has been inhabited by nomadic peoples.

Because that is where the real bitter cold is.

The winter time is very early, and the summer time is very short, which is not suitable for farming, and there are very few grasslands.

It is not as good as the hometown of Turks.

Su Yu said: "Why not? After more than 1000 years, the black soil in the Liaodong area can produce a lot of grain."

"After we eliminated them this time, we used them as slaves to reclaim the land of Liaodong, and set up the Liaodong Protectorate to specialize in farming."

"In this way, you won't lose money in the war, and you can make a lot of money."

"Old Li, think about it, these prisoners of war are your slaves, all the food produced is yours, how much do you have to earn."

These words made Li Shimin feel excited.

One of the main points of entanglement between the ministers of the DPRK and China is that attacking Goguryeo is of no benefit at all, and it is a waste of national strength.

But according to Su Yu, after this battle, Datang will be able to have enough for his family.

"All the food in Liaodong belongs to me?"

Li Shimin suddenly felt something was wrong.
