Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Changan.

in the palace.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were proceeding at top speed. Not long ago, they received an imperial edict at the same time, asking them to go to the Imperial Study Room as quickly as possible to have an audience.

When everyone met in the palace by chance, they all saw the surprise on each other's expressions, but soon they all understood that it was definitely news from the front!
To know.

Ever since Li Jing and Yu Chigong set off with their respective armies, Li Shimin has been waiting for news all the time, and basically entrusted them with other affairs in the court.

At such a time, asking them to enter the palace suddenly and so anxiously would only mean that there was a major problem ahead, or the plan had succeeded, and Li Jing and Yu Chigong surrounded the Turkic army!
Or...the plan failed completely!
"Everyone, please don't speak so easily, everything is still waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to express his opinion. At this time, don't do any reckless behavior!"

"Your Majesty's temper should be very clear to you, so don't you need to say more?" During the march, Changsun Wuji suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the crowd with deep meaning and said in a low voice.

It is still unknown what exactly happened. If they rashly bring up the battle ahead, it is very likely that the emperor's worries will be aggravated.

If Long Yan gets angry at that time, they will suffer a lot!

The rest of the people stopped one after another, looked at Changsun Wuji and nodded in agreement.

In fact, people like Fang Xuanling knew that he didn't need to remind Fang Xuanling that at such a critical moment, no one could easily mention the war against the Turks in front of the emperor!

It's not because this matter is sensitive, but because it concerns the fate of Datang. Before the result is determined, who is willing to use this as a talking point?
After a brief conversation, everyone entered the imperial study room cautiously. As soon as they entered, they saw Li Shimin with a gloomy expression, holding a letter in his hand!
"Meet Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji and the others looked at each other and immediately saluted respectfully.

When they saw the emperor's face, everyone understood that they might have guessed right!
"Get up..." Li Shimin waved his hands feebly.

"Your Majesty, after receiving the news, I entered the palace as soon as possible. Is there anything important?" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth fiercely, stood up and asked with hands clasped.

He already knew that the situation was likely to be bad, but he was the only one who stood up first.

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Li Shimin with great concern, especially the letter in his hand, and paid attention to it for quite a long time.

"This is a handwritten letter from Li Jing!" Li Shimin waved the letter in his hand, instantly making the atmosphere quite tense.

The sound of heavy breathing could be heard continuously from the people in the imperial study room. Changsun Wuji, who was the first to speak, couldn't help but clenched his fists and his heart was beating wildly!

He knew it would be like this!

"Our plan has already failed. Li Jing was ambushed by the Turks just after he dispatched troops, and the main force was almost wiped out!"

"Thanks to the appearance of an army called the Anxi Army, he escaped from danger and destroyed the plans of the Turks!" Li Shimin said in a low voice, almost word by word.

There is silence in the royal study...

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, and they all saw strong shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Shimin continued to explain in great detail what Li Jing had sent, especially the part about the Anxi Army.

"Our plan is quite meticulous, and it can be regarded as seamless. How could we be ambushed by the Turkic people? Logically speaking, it should be impossible?"

"Which force is the so-called Anxi Army? How did they appear at such a critical time? Are they here to help us, or do they want to reap the benefits?"

"According to General Li, the army that suddenly appeared this time has amazing fighting power and is obviously well-trained. We must be prepared to face enemies on both sides!"

"The problem now is that the pre-prepared plan has failed. It is impossible to break the Turkic main force. Now we should withdraw the troops and come back immediately. If the main force suffers losses, Datang will be really in danger!"

Everyone started talking in low voices, their expressions full of worry.

Although they also want to know who this mysterious army is, the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the border of the Tang Dynasty, and never let the Turks drive straight in and attack Chang'an!
"This mysterious army is so well-trained, and its ability is even stronger than that of the Turks. The strength behind them cannot be underestimated!"

"It is very likely that there is an existence that is more dangerous than the sudden situation. After this battle is over, we must do our best to investigate and see if there are other threatening existences!" Li Shimin said coldly after listening to everyone's discussion.

Ever since he received Li Jing's letter, he has been thinking about this question.

Just this time the army has such a strong combat effectiveness, it is conceivable how powerful the forces behind it are.

In case the other party appears not to help them, but to reap the benefits of fishing, then the threat to the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty will be even greater!

Hearing the emperor's words, Fang Xuanling immediately became anxious.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about these things. The background of that mysterious army is not important now. The key is where our army will go!"

"Since the original plan has failed, the troops should be withdrawn immediately to ensure the vitality of the main force. Otherwise, when the Turkic army recovers, Datang will be in real danger!"

It never occurred to him that the emperor hadn't discovered the crux of the problem until now.

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others also stood up and expressed their complete agreement with Fang Xuanling's opinion, and now the focus should be on this war.

As for the mysterious army that suddenly appeared, we will naturally be able to find out when the time comes!

"Your Majesty, there is a question that I haven't figured out yet!" Before Li Shimin could respond, Wei Zheng, who had remained silent all along, suddenly said.

"At the beginning, our plan was discussed seamlessly. Even if there were some flaws, it shouldn't be like this. According to the contents of General Li's letter, the Turks have already made preparations!"

"If this is the case, it means that the news was known to the Turkic people in advance. Not many people participated in this plan. Why did the Turkic people know about it?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone's expressions changed almost at the same time!
The meaning of these words is obvious. Since the original plan was leaked, it means that there are traitors in the imperial court!

Those few people participated in this plan, and it happened that they were all present today...
