The generals couldn't disobey Li Jing's intentions, they could only follow him with the army and continue to chase Jieli Khan who fled in a hurry.

of course.

Li Jing did not insist on going his own way, but wrote his intentions and thoughts in the letter in detail, and reported it to Li Shimin in great detail.

He believes that the emperor should be able to understand his own thoughts. In a sense, this can be regarded as a big gamble, and there is no other good choice.

Since receiving information from Li Jing last time, Li Shimin has been restless.

Not only because he was worried about the battle ahead, but more importantly, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him, staring at him all the time.

Li Shimin was very sure that there was definitely a traitor hidden among them, but that person was hiding too deeply, and he couldn't be caught in a short time.

It was at this time that he received a letter from Li Jing again and learned about the current situation of the army in detail.

After getting the exact news, just as Li Jing thought, Li Shimin understood and supported his decision very much.

Now is the critical time for them to confront the Turks. Even if they lead their troops back to the border defense, they will still not be able to change their passive situation.

In many cases, throwing everything at one basket is an extremely risky decision, but now it should be able to produce unexpected results, which requires a lot of luck!
Not only that, Li Shimin himself, including everyone in Chang'an, has to pay a considerable price for this, that is, risking his life and wealth!
To know.

Once Li Jing or the battle ahead fails, the Turkic people will drive straight in, and will soon come to the outside of Chang'an City. At that time, the major families or the traitor will play an important role.

to be frank.

Li Shimin can't even imagine now, what kind of situation it will be like when it really comes!
He sat alone in the imperial study for a long time, and finally decided to cooperate with Li Jing fully, even if he failed in the end, he would bear the result together!

then.

Li Shimin once again summoned his confidants, including Empress Changsun, to the imperial study...

……

Everyone gathered here again, looking at the rare Empress Changsun, whether it was Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling, they knew in their hearts that the situation might be very bad!
really.

When Li Shimin appeared in front of them, his face was ugly like never before!
"I asked you to come here today because I have an important announcement to make!" Li Shimin took a deep breath and said straight to the point as he watched everyone.

His eyes especially paid more attention to Empress Changsun, revealing strong reluctance and a little regret!
"The battle ahead is quite pessimistic now. I will personally lead all the remaining troops in Chang'an to defend with all my strength. No matter what happens, I will never take half a step back!"

"Just in case, I have to make a will in advance. Even if I am gone one day, Datang will still have successors, and will not perish because of this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the complexions of everyone in the room changed drastically, especially Empress Changsun, who was closest to Li Shimin, her eyes instantly became moist.

Actually.

When everyone came here, they had some guesses in their hearts, but they never thought that Li Shimin would actually do such a big thing!

joke.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a thing. The dignified emperor actually wants to make a will in advance. If the news spreads, it will definitely shake everyone's confidence.

The key point is that Li Shimin's thought has already shown that he is ready to fight to the death. Is the situation really so bad?

"What nonsense is your Majesty talking about?" Empress Changsun couldn't stop crying soon.

"No matter what happens, we will face it together, Your Majesty, please don't think about it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter what happens, the ministers will face it together with His Majesty. Now is not the time to say such frustrating words!" Changsun Wuji also stood up quickly, his expression full of worry.

He had never seen Li Shimin behave like this before, that ambitious emperor seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment!
Not only Changsun Wuji, but everyone else present showed strong worries.

If even the emperor loses confidence, then there is no hope of winning this battle!

"It's not that I'm desperate, but I have to prepare the way ahead. Datang must not take the risk of extinction!" Li Shimin shook his head slowly.

Of course he understood everyone's thoughts, but he did it just in case, and prepared for the worst!

At this time, Li Shimin thought most of Li Jian.

After this period of investigation, he has already determined that his son has the ability to take over the Tang Dynasty, which is much stronger than the current prince Li Chengqian!
"All of you must remember what I said next. If any accident happens, everyone present today will be witnesses!"

"If the Turkic people really hit Chang'an, I will definitely live and die with Chang'an. At that time, the position of emperor will be handed over to Sheng Wang Li Jian!"

"Everyone here today must do their best to help. As long as Jian'er is there, Datang will still have the hope of recovering!"

Following his words, Empress Changsun burst into tears. He could imagine how difficult it was for Li Shimin to make such a decision!
Before that, she still had a deep grudge against Li Jian being the emperor, because Li Chengqian was the rightful prince. After the experience of this period of time, and Li Shimin's determination now, Empress Changsun also let go of everything and accepted it all!
Changsun Wuji and the others fell silent, silently listening to the emperor's orders!
As for Li Jian's ability, everyone can see it. Datang will definitely be more prosperous in his hands, there is no doubt about it!
"Your Majesty, if that time really comes, all the ministers are willing to stay and live with Chang'an and Your Majesty!" After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji knelt down on the ground very respectfully with everyone.

Their faces showed determination, if Chang'an was breached, they would have no reason to live anymore!
"No..." Li Shimin shook his head resolutely again.

"At that time, all of you must leave, especially to ensure the absolute safety of the empress. Chang'an alone is enough!"

"These words just now are orders, do you remember them all?"

Changsun Wuji and the others slowly raised their heads and saw Li Shimin's incomparably resolute expression, while Empress Changsun was already sobbing and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

After a while, everyone nodded silently. This is the emperor's order, and it can be regarded as his entrustment...
