Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

One winter, Li Shimin was lying in the greenhouse without going out.

The papers were delivered every day, and the three of Fang Xuanling helped to review them.

The room was filled with smoke, and Su Yu breathed out smoke rings.

Li Shimin became a heavy smoker, and Fang Xuanling and the other three also had cigarettes in their mouths and pens in their hands.

At this time, Li Shimin also fell in love with smoking pipes, and made one out of gold with jade inlaid on it, which looked very luxurious.

"A pipe inlaid with gold and jade feels different."

Li Shimin showed off.

Su Yu is not used to using a pipe, otherwise he could make a more luxurious one.

"Your Majesty, the paperwork is finished."

Fang Xuanling got up and said.

A table of memorials, they reviewed it, and Li Shimin just checked it out.

After reading the last memorial, Li Shimin tapped the pipe to knock out the ash.

"It feels a little hot."

Li Shimin said.

The ice and snow outside had already melted, and the branches outside began to sprout bright yellow buds.

Spring is here again.

Li Shimin walked to the window, looked at the child taking off his thick cotton coat outside, grinned and said, "My dear brother, the new year has begun again."

"The so-called one-year plan lies in spring. What are your plans for this year?"

The three of Fang Xuanling held their pipes in their mouths, puffing on their cigarettes, looking at Li Shimin's grandma wolf.

Su Yu smiled slightly: "This year, I will lie in my room in spring, in the yard in summer, in the yard in autumn, and here in winter."

Li Shimin had just lit a cigarette when Su Yu choked on him.

Su Yu meant that he would never go out.

This is incompatible with Li Shimin's plan.

He plans to go to the Western Regions this year and destroy the Western Turks.

There is information that the Western Turks and Persia colluded and wanted to pre-emptively take down Gaochang's Protectorate and cut off the business exchanges between the western countries and the Tang Dynasty.

Persia cooperated with Western Turks to set up strongholds in the Western Regions and do business directly with Datang.

Of course, when it comes to doing business now, there may be a day when the call will come.

Li Shimin would never allow such a thing to happen, he was going to do it.

"Brother, it's such a waste of a year, what a pity."

"Are you interested in taking a trip to the Western Regions?"

Li Shimin asked tentatively.

"Not interested in."

Su Yu flatly refused.

Fang Xuanling and the three laughed secretly.

This result has long been expected.

Su Yu had fought two battles for Li Shimin and had exhausted his benevolence. It was absolutely impossible for him to fight a third battle.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and the three were snickering, Li Shimin was immediately displeased.

"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I should go out to get some air."

Fang Xuanling said.

Li Shimin said displeasedly: "Go out."

The three of them sneaked out quickly and let Li Shimin bargain with Su Yu himself.

There was no one around, so Li Shimin didn't have to worry about face.

"Boy, I am grateful to you. You have pacified the Quartet for me. Now only the Western Turks are left to do things there. You can take another trip for me. This is the last battle, okay?"

Li Shimin made it clear.

The threat around Datang is now only the Western Turks, nothing else.

Su Yu sneered and said: "Old Li, people's hearts are not enough, so I have to go back to Shu."

"The last time you looked at the world map, it said that these places all have the surname Li."

"After conquering the Western Regions, you will start to destroy Persia and Great Qin in the west, and you will destroy Tianzhu in the south."

"At that time, you will have to travel across the ocean to occupy the American continent."

"I don't have the skills to fight for you."

When Li Shimin saw the world map for the first time, he was surprised.

He didn't expect that Datang only occupied a part of the world, so there are so many places.

In particular, Su Yu said that there are only a few strong enemies around, and the others are weak chickens.

Li Shimin raised his hand and swear to the sky: "I swear to the sky, the Western Turks are the last battle, and we won't fight after the battle."

"Leave the rest to the children and grandchildren, and then I can retire and live comfortably as a salted fish with you."

"If you break this oath, I will be a eunuch, how about it?"

puff.
The emperor as a eunuch?
Su Yu was teased by Li Shimin.

And such an oath is really wonderful.

"Old Li, you don't have to be a eunuch, you can't do it."

Su Yu laughed out loud.

Li Shimin was despised by Su Yu, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, my harem has three thousand beauties, how can you say I can't do it?"

"I will choose another concubine right away to prove it to you."

Su Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't choose a concubine, it hurts nature and justice. How cool it is for someone else's little girl to find a strong young man, who is as soft as your old fritters, what a waste of waste."

Li Shimin jumped up angrily, holding a pipe and yelling.

The three of Fang Xuanling smoked outside.

Seeing Li Shimin jumping up and down, I don't know what Su Yu said.

"What did Su Yu say? Made the emperor so furious?"

Wei Zheng said.

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this is really Longyan's fury."

Fang Xuanling knocked on the table and said, "Don't watch, the gods are fighting, what's the fun we're watching, be careful not to burn yourself."

Wei Zheng said: "It makes sense, let's go out for a walk."

The three of them got up and walked towards the back mountain.

In the room, Li Shimin was half dead by Su Yu's anger.

"I will choose my concubine when I go back, hum."

Li Shimin said angrily.

Su Yu laughed and said, "Why bother with yourself, you're already old."

Li Shimin took a few puffs of cigarettes to calm his wounded heart.

Su Yu looked at the melting ice and snow outside, and said: "The water source of the Western Regions depends on the melted snow water from the top of the mountain."

"When the snow melts and the vegetation recovers, the Turkic cattle, sheep and horses will have fodder, and their vitality will be restored."

"A businessman from the Western Regions who just came to Chang'an City said that last year there was a heavy snowstorm in the Western Regions, and countless Turkic cattle and sheep froze to death."

"Send troops as early as possible. If you delay, they will recover."

Li Shimin was sulking, but when he heard Su Yu say this, he was suddenly ecstatic.

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Li Shimin immediately went out and returned to the palace.

Su Yu said behind him: "Remember, this is the last battle, and I don't care about the future."

Li Shimin happily responded, "It's a deal."

The only powerful enemies around Datang are the Western Turks, so it's good to eliminate them, so as to save trouble in the future.

The most important thing is that the Western Turks provoked Su Yu twice.

Salted fish is not a dead fish, how can it be slaughtered without revenge.

The revenge that should be reported must be reported.

Li Shimin went out, but did not see Fang Xuanling and the three.

"Where's the person? Wasn't he here just now?"

Li Shimin muttered.

Gongsun Lan sat on the tree, giggling and said: "It's in the back mountain, they were watching you joke just now."

Li Shimin said with a sullen face, "Have you heard everything?"

Gongsun Lan made a face and said, "I didn't hear it, but I can read lips."

Li Shimin threatened: "If you dare to speak out, I will beat you up."

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Can you beat me?"

Li Shimin didn't argue with Gongsun Lan, and said: "Call the three of them down for me."

Gongsun Lan stretched out her hand, and Li Shimin took out a gold cake and threw it up.

After receiving the gold cake, Gongsun Lan flew up the back mountain from the roof.

Not long after, Fang Xuanling came down three times.

"emperor."

The three smiled and bowed.

Li Shimin thought to himself: What a joke.

"Let's go back and discuss with me about sending troops to the Western Regions."

Li Shimin said coldly, turned and walked out.

Fang Xuanling was shocked and sent troops to the Western Regions, meaning that Su Yu agreed?
Without thinking too much, the three of them followed Li Shimin back to Chang'an City.
