Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 164 Li Shimin Gets the News

"Yes." The spy replied blankly again.

Li Tai was about to explode when he heard the words, "It's simply too much, it's okay for the father to be so partial, why even the mother has become like this?"

Thinking of this, Li Tai immediately stood up and said, "No, I want to go too!"

"Your Highness." The spy pursed his lips slightly, and couldn't help reminding: "The Supreme Emperor and His Majesty seem to have reconciled, and the atmosphere is strong now. If His Highness goes to disturb the Supreme Emperor's elegance at this moment, I am afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied."

After hearing the spy's words, Li Tai's complexion became even more serious, with a displeasure on his face, "What's the matter, you mean that the Supreme Emperor will lose his mood when he sees this king?"

"Is this king so annoying!"

The spy was startled when he heard the words, and immediately bent down a little lower, and then said: "That's not what I was looking for, it's just..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, I know." Li Tai waved his hand impatiently, he naturally knew the pros and cons of it.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the father-son relationship with Li Yuan, and now it has just been alleviated. If it is really him who disturbed the emperor's elegance by going there, Li Shimin must hate him to death.

He understands the truth, but he is not reconciled!

They are both the queen's sons, so why are they treated differently? Since Li Chengqian already owns Mr. Chu, why should he even be favored by him?
"Okay, you can go down first, you're making me upset." Li Tai frowned and glanced at the secret agent, the crease between his eyebrows getting a little deeper.

"Yes." The spy replied, then turned and retreated.

"Li Chengqian..."

After the spy left, Li Tai squeezed his fleshy palms into a ball, swept away the sundries on the desk in anger, and gritted his teeth: "Sooner or later, I will trample you under my feet and take back everything Things that originally belonged to me..."

"Sooner or later!"

…………

After the four members of Li Shimin's family had a reunion dinner, they each went back to the bedroom to perform their duties.

It's just that Li Shimin had just returned to the imperial study when the young eunuch immediately handed over two secret letters.

"Your Majesty, these are two secret letters from General Hou."

Li Shimin heard that the creases between his brows deepened a little, and his original good mood was completely shattered at this moment.

What he is most afraid of now is to receive Hou Junji's secret letter. Once he receives it, there must be another accident on the Turkic side.

"Bring it here." Li Shimin sat beside the table, rubbing the center of his eyebrows helplessly.

After all, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't stay out of it.

"Yes."

The little eunuch handed the letter to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin opened the two letters, his hands trembled in fright.

Then he got up immediately and said: "Quickly, call Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Chigong, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Li Xuangong, Cheng Yaojin and others!"

"Call everyone in, hurry!"

What he was most worried about finally happened.

After a while, the few people whose names had just been called entered the imperial study together.

"I wait to see you..."

"Okay, don't bow. Come back." Li Shimin waved his hand, with a look of urgency on his face, and then immediately handed the two letters in his hand to everyone for circulation, and then explained: "Quick, you all have a look."

"Hou Junji sent a message that the Turks had fought a battle with him in Bingzhou, and Bingzhou was defeated. Moreover, there are no horses or food now. The situation is very embarrassing!"

Everyone's faces darkened when they heard this, and they looked at each other in confusion and didn't know what to say.

After all, they had expected and discussed what happened today, but there was no result.

Even now, it is still the case.

There is no other way but to fight, and you can't fight...

Seeing this, Li Shimin rubbed his brows helplessly, then sighed softly and said, "If none of you can do anything, I have one, but it's a little risky."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Du Ruhui immediately echoed.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "The problem that our Tang Dynasty is facing now is nothing more than a shortage of troops. Although we don't have any, we can borrow them."

"Borrow?" Du Ruhui frowned when he heard the words, glanced at the minister next to him with some doubts, and then pursed his lips and said, "What do you mean by your majesty, who can lend us soldiers?"

"Gaoguryeo." Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Hasn't Goguryeo always been a vassal to us? Then they can't sit idly by when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble."

"But……"

Fang Xuanling on the side frowned, as if he wanted to say something.

But he was interrupted by Li Shimin in a deep voice, "I know what you are going to say."

"Everyone knows Goguryeo's disobedience. They have been making little moves behind their backs for so many years, and I have never known what they were doing."

"But if we can use it properly here, we might be able to implement a plan that kills two birds with one stone, and we can just wait and reap the benefits."

Yuchi Gong shook his head when he heard the words, and then sighed deeply: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a solution, but this Goguryeo is not a fool, how could it be allowed to be manipulated by us?"

"I've thought about this too."

Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly, and then explained in a deep voice: "Although our Tang Dynasty is now at the end of its strength and has no capital to threaten Goguryeo, the Turks do!"

"Once the Turks defeat Datang, Goguryeo will be the most attractive piece of fat. They will not be unaware of the truth. It will depend on how they choose."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin sighed again, frowned and said: "But if Goguryeo is forced to death by us, and wants to use dangerous tactics to collude with the Turks to attack us, we will be eaten to death. "

After all, rabbits bite people when they are cornered. Borrowing troops is not a trivial matter. If Goguryeo is cornered, it is not sure what the result will be.

After all, they are wolves who have been dormant for a long time, not little sheep who are slaughtered.

Wei Zheng on the side frowned slightly when he heard this, and suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, curious.

After all, most of the time when talking about the war, Wei Zheng just listened silently from the sidelines and rarely expressed his views.

Wei Zheng pursed his lips, then leaned over and said, "I just got the news that Goguryeo has privately occupied a piece of unowned land on the frontier."

"what?"

Li Shimin was startled, with a bit of anger in his eyes.

"They dare to occupy unowned land. They simply don't take our Tang Dynasty seriously!" Changsun Wuji was also a little angry when he heard this and snorted from the side.

Du Ruhui also frowned and echoed: "I don't know how big this land is yet. Is it harmful?"

"That's right, this Goguryeo is simply too bad. On the surface, it bows its head and surrenders, but it keeps making small moves behind its back."
