Chapter 820 Changes in History

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

Li Shimin naturally understood this truth, and he would not be too fussy about thanking for small things, but this matter is related to disaster relief, if someone dares to reach out, he will definitely not be polite.

"Yes."

Those who can become Li Shimin's confidants are not stupid people. It is certainly impossible for all of these people to be the kind of people who are dedicated to the public, but they know very well what not to do.

"Your Majesty, I believe that a prince should be sent to supervise. This will not only prevent corruption, but also stabilize the hearts of the people," said the admonishing doctor Gai Wenda.

Li Shimin looked at Gai Wenda with a puzzled look on his face. Usually, the crown prince or the ministers of the court were sent to inspect things like this on behalf of the heavens.

Gai Wenda now proposes to send a prince there, but the prince is not in Chang'an, and the only adult prince in Chang'an is Li Tai.

Li Shimin knew that Li Tai was very popular with the scholars of the Chongwen Museum because of his literary talents, but he did not expect that even Gai Wenda, one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, would take refuge in Li Tai.

Just about to refuse, Li Mu walked up to Li Shimin and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and said: "Gai Qing is right, the prince is already on his way back, and he will arrive tomorrow. When the prince comes back, let the prince go."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Gavenda's face, and he said, "It is most suitable for the prince to go."

……

Jieli Khan was an Eastern Turkic Khan, and he brought Li Shimin the shame of the Weishui Alliance. After being captured alive, Li Shimin held a grand captive offering ceremony.

Li Shimin did this to humiliate Jieli Khan, and let out his bad breath at the beginning.

Tong'e assumed that he was not the Khan of the Western Turks, so Li Shimin naturally didn't bother to make such a big fuss.

It's just that he was made a marquis by decree, and he didn't even see anyone.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who looked firm and mature, and was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Gao Ming went to work hard, I wonder if you have learned why?"

Li Chengqian said respectfully: "I have heard that the Tang soldiers were invincible since I was a child, but I have never seen the cruelty of war. Although I have not seen the battle on the battlefield, I have seen the wounded soldiers. Today's stability is maintained by countless soldiers with their flesh and blood."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Great Tang belongs to my Li family, it was defeated by countless soldiers with their lives. You can't enjoy it with peace of mind just because my Li family has won the world, understand?"

"I will always remember my father's teachings." Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said, "Floods occurred in Shandong and Henan, and a large number of people were displaced. Have you heard about this?"

"I naturally know that I request to reduce the cost of the East Palace to help the victims. I know that this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for the victims, but this is my wish." Li Chengqian said.

As a prince, he can't even compare with a prince in terms of money.

As long as the prince is crowned king and has a fief, he will have income.

But Li Chengqian, the prince, has no income at all, and all expenses come from the supply of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Have a heart."

Not to mention reducing expenses, even if all of Li Chengqian's expenses were used, it would not be of much use to the floods in the two places, but Li Shimin was still very satisfied with Li Chengqian's attitude.

"Every disaster relief is accompanied by a lot of corruption. I am going to let you go to Shandong and Henan to inspect. Once you find lax and corrupt officials, you will be severely punished!" Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin in astonishment. Previously, rewarding the army represented the morale of the army, but this time the disaster relief tour represented the morale of the people.

As long as he does a good job and is praised by the people, his position as the crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Go, go back and have a good rest, and leave tomorrow." Li Shimin said.

"My son retire!"

……

Silla and Baekje received the edict from the Tang Dynasty, and after some discussions, they went to the border with Goguryeo to increase their troops.

When Li Yuan was in power, Goguryeo was preparing to annex Silla and Baekje. It was Li Yuan who reprimanded Goguryeo, so Goguryeo did not send troops.

Silla and Baekje need to rely on Datang, so naturally they dare not offend Datang.

But they didn't dare to really send troops to attack Goguryeo, they could only pretend.

Silla and Baekje together had more than 20 troops, while Yuangai Suwen took away 20 soldiers and horses, and Goguryeo had only [-] soldiers and horses.

Except for the troops stationed in some necessary places, the actual number of troops that can be used is less than [-].

Gao Zun was just a puppet, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Yuan Gai Suwen.

When Yuan Gai Suwen received this news, his expression was gloomy.

After his hard work, Yuan Qi and Yi Nan were almost persuaded to send troops together to attack the Tang army.

If he can defeat Tang Jun, he will have a chance to capture Lin Xuan alive.

As long as you can catch Lin Xuan and get the formula of Liuli and Immortal Drunk, you can get endless wealth.

With money, he can develop his strength, destroy Silla Baekje, and when he becomes stronger, he can even send troops to annex Datang.

However, all of this was broken by Silla Baekje's sudden dispatch of troops.

Yuan Gai Suwen hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to bet.

He had just launched a coup, and Goguryeo was unstable internally. If someone took refuge in Silla and Baekje, Goguryeo was really in danger of being destroyed under the combination of inside and outside.

If something happens to the base camp, how will his ambition be realized?
"Two Khans, Silla Baekje suddenly sent troops to invade our border with Goguryeo, so I have no choice but to withdraw." Yuangai Suwen said.

"What?" Yi Nan said with an ugly face: "Silla Baekje is just a tiny place. It is impossible to attack Goguryeo in a short time. Ben Khan has already decided to send troops together to destroy the Tang army."

"That's right, we will send troops together, and it won't take much time to destroy the Tang army," Yuan Qi said.

Yuan Gai Su Wen sneered endlessly in his heart, Yi Nan and Yuan Qi were clearly moved, but they kept refusing to agree, they just wanted to get some more benefits.

Although his goal was Lin Xuan and he didn't pay much attention to the others, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of Yi Nan and Yuan Qi, he dragged on for so long.

If they agreed earlier, Tang Jun might have been wiped out by them now.

"I'm sorry, but I have to obey the order of the king. Let me go!" After Yuan Gai Suwen finished speaking, he turned and left without looking at the expressions of Yi Nan and Yuan Qi.

……

Mukun Tribe
At this time, it has become the barracks of the Tang army.

Not long after Li Chengqian left, the spies found out about what happened in Goguryeo.

Lin Xuan knew what happened in Goguryeo, and he had to lament how powerful the inertia of history is.

Although there are some differences between what happened in Goguryeo and the history, the result is not different.

Instead, it was many years in advance.

Could it be because of the flapping of his little butterfly's wings?
Lin Xuan didn't know whether it was good or bad.
