Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

After the extremely intense treatment by the imperial doctors, Li Shimin's condition improved a lot.

"Empress, Your Majesty's illness is not physical. I hope the Empress can persuade Your Majesty not to be too anxious. His body can't stand the torment!" A gray-haired imperial doctor stood respectfully at the Empress Changsun. in front of.

"I'm sorry..." Empress Changsun didn't say much, she knew better than anyone why Li Shimin was like this.

Seeing Li Shimin lying on the bed with his eyes still closed, Empress Changsun sighed secretly, and immediately ordered everyone to leave.

After all the people in charge of serving had left, she looked at Li Shimin and said softly, "Your Majesty, everyone here has gone out!"

As her words fell, Li Shimin, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

As the person who knew the emperor best, Empress Changsun knew immediately that he had woken up, but it was because there were too many people here and she didn't want to wake up and speak.

and so.

She dispersed everyone in the first place!

"Avalokitesvara, Jian'er is right. I really have no backbone. I have allowed the Turkic people to do whatever they want. Not to mention the common people, even I am quite disappointed!" sighed.

He still can't forget what Li Jian said in that letter.

"If you don't profess to be a minister or pay tribute, the emperor should guard the gate of the country, and the Tang people can't bend their bones!"

These words were quite powerful, and even reached his heart.

If it is not necessary, why does Li Shimin not want to do this?

"Your Majesty, you don't need to think about it. Jane actually didn't have any other intentions. Maybe she was just angered by recent events, so she wrote this letter in a fit of anger!"

"It's about the stability of the world and the imperial court. Your Majesty can't be arrogant!" Empress Changsun took a deep breath and persuaded in a low voice.

They have already come to this point, if the plan is changed rashly, it is very likely to cause unimaginable consequences.

"I understand..." Li Shimin took a deep breath and sat up straight away.

"Jian'er's words are correct. You must not be merciful to the Turkic people, let alone make the people of the world lose confidence in the court and me!"

"Even at the last moment, let everyone see the court's position. If even the court is afraid of the Turkic people, and can tolerate things like robbing people openly in broad daylight, what's the face of me and the court?"

Eliminating the worries in his heart, Li Shimin immediately felt refreshed. He disregarded the imperial doctor's instructions and quickly got off the bed.

"Come on!"

"Call Gao Ming, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui to come and see me immediately!" Li Shimin said loudly while looking outside the hall.

Empress Changsun originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Shimin's extremely resolute expression, she swallowed her words back.

At this time, no matter what he said, the emperor might not listen to him.

not to mention.

She doesn't know now whether what Li Jian said is feasible, whether there is really a problem with the principles they have been adhering to...

……

In the imperial study.

Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others all gathered here.

At such a sensitive time, the emperor was so eager to see them, and they knew very well what they wanted to say. However, the issue of the Turks had already been settled, so what room for discussion was there?
Especially Li Chengqian...

He originally participated in the banquet at the royal family, and was called back directly at the happiest moment. He felt quite unhappy, and, for some reason, after receiving the order from his father, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I've thought about the issue of getting married. I can't just agree to them so easily. If I make a request, I will agree. From now on, wouldn't anyone be able to come to Datang to ask to marry anyone's daughter?"

"Also... from now on, immediately restrict the actions of the Turkic Mission. Everything is based on the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone dares to violate it, they will be punished regardless of their status!" Li Shimin coughed lightly, looking at everyone and said loudly.

This is what he thinks now!
Even if the war does start in the end, even if he personally leads the troops to the battlefield, he will never tolerate these Turkic people acting recklessly and arrogantly.

There was silence in the imperial study room, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. It was completely unexpected that the emperor would make such a decision. Li Chengqian stood up first.

"Father, this is absolutely impossible!" He denied Li Shimin's decision without hesitation.

"If you repent rashly now, it's not just a matter of marriage. Father, as the emperor, should have promised everything!"

"If the Turkic mission is broken, they will have a legitimate reason to fight against us in the future. Most importantly, if they do so, how should the people of the world treat the emperor and the court?"

When he said these words, his emotions were quite agitated, and he had already reached this point, and he must not let this matter be reversed.

otherwise.

The advantages that I have built up with great difficulty will be wiped out in an instant.

After this period of contact, he also understood Zha'er Buhua's character, and once he learned that the marriage failed, he would definitely become angry from embarrassment.

It will even implicate themselves, and the so-called agreement between them will be invalidated.

"Yes, Your Majesty, things have come to this point, isn't it inappropriate to repent now?" Changsun Wuji also stood up and looked at Li Shimin worriedly.

to be frank.

He also didn't want to see Fang Xuanling's daughter marrying a Turkic far away, but things have come to this point, and he can only let nature take its course, if he repents rashly, he will lose all trust in the world.

In the future, the major nomadic peoples, including the Turks, will pay less attention to the Tang Dynasty, and no one will believe what the imperial court says in the future.

This is quite a serious consequence!

Even Changsun Wuji stood up to oppose it, and others also expressed their agreement.

but.

At this moment, Li Shimin has made up his mind, no matter what, these Turkic people should not be taken advantage of.

In comparison, he was still more willing to believe what Li Jian said. If Datang was strong enough, these things could be completely ignored.

In the face of absolute strength, any bells and whistles are futile.

If Datang shows everyone a weak side, not only the Turks will push their noses, but other major nomadic peoples will be ready to move.

If that's the case, Datang will be a piece of fat that can be shared in the eyes of everyone.

"This matter is settled!" Li Shimin waved his hand and made the final decision directly.

"If the Turks want to go to war with Datang, even if I personally lead troops to the battlefield, I will definitely not back down. I really want those Turks to take a good look. Datang is not something they can bully!"
