Datang: I was the champion in high school, but was persuaded to quit by the court

Chaos suddenly broke out in the court, and everyone couldn't care less about discussing the current affairs. The eunuch in front of Li Shimin received a signal, and immediately ordered His Majesty to be carried back to the palace, and the imperial doctor was called, and the battle in the temple was finally calmed down.

Li Shimin, who pretended to be sick and returned to the bedroom, waved away after the imperial doctor came to check that there was no serious problem, and walked back and forth in the room alone, angrily smashing many delicate objects, and frightened everyone outside the door. All the court ladies, everyone is in danger and keeps silent.

Li Shimin, who planned to see no one, finally met the eldest grandson empress who came to comfort him, but he still didn't have a good face to see.

"I implore Your Majesty not to blame elder brother. Elder brother is also thinking about the great Tang Dynasty~!"

After finishing the salute, the queen immediately defended her grandson Wuji. Li Shimin, who was already upset, became even more angry at this moment, and his tone was much stricter than usual.

"Brother! Brother!"

"It's your brother!"

"I want to marry my daughter to Tubo!"

"What face do you have, come here to intercede for him!"

Maybe it was because the words were a little heavy, or maybe it was because of the emotion, Empress Changsun's eyes turned red, and she lamented: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"No matter who the candidate for a distant marriage is, he is the concubine's heart!"

"Although the concubine is the master of the harem, she is also like an ordinary mother!"

"I will also be reluctant to part with my own daughter. The concubine is not defending my brother!"

"This time it's my brother's fault, I implore Your Majesty!"

"Don't listen to your brother's advice!"

"You can act according to your Majesty's will!"

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the woman who had been lying with him for many years. Her face had long lived up to her former glory, but she was still as young as she was when she first met her. She was intelligent and impartial. It was selfish to plead for the eldest grandson Wuji. Please, Your Majesty. Doing what you want is for the public.

What's more, there is a mother's identity in her body, I am afraid that the grief in her heart is not less than ordinary people.

"Get up quickly!"

Li Shimin spoke softly, helped the queen to sit beside him, and said sadly: "There are many civil and military officials, so I don't know that it is not appropriate to go to war at this time!"

"I can exchange my princess for Tang Heping, but I can't do it!"

"Guanyin maidservant, you can tell me about the grievances of the world!"

"Who should I tell my grievances to?"

Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's hands, not as warm as imagined, but piercingly cold, showing anxiety in her heart.

"Erlang, don't worry!"

"There are still some days before the mission comes to Beijing!"

"Maybe think about it again if there is a way to crack it!"

"If not, it is impossible!"

"It's also the fate that one should have as a princess of the Tang Dynasty!"

The tender voice of Guanyin's servant girl shook her head, which gave the emperor a lot of comfort. Li Shimin finally sighed, and that was all he could do.

The few days of silence failed to relieve the Tang emperor's inner depression, but intensified it. Li Shimin, who had just returned to Beijing from Guan County, hadn't thought about what to do if this matter fell into Lin Hao's hands.

But no matter where he entered the game, Jiannan Dao has no reason to help Datang with advice. Although Lin Hao has a good impression of Li Dingtian, he may not be able to contribute to the court for the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Impossible, adding insult to injury is more enjoyable.

Ugh!

Li Shimin sighed, if relying on Lin Hao's talent and Jiannan Dao's strength to join hands with Datang, he might not be able to gain a chance of life from it.

Reluctantly, good fortune tricks people's hearts. Datang has already chilled Jiannan Dao. How can he be helped by this at this moment? Could it be that he can only sue for peace?

Li Shimin laughed at himself, his thoughts wandered far away unconsciously, with memories in his eyes.

That day Wangjianglou faced the Tubo marshal, how high-spirited, Li Shimin, Lin Hao, and Li Daozong, the three of them played Nagarqinlin around, and finally let him be sold without knowing it, which is not like the current rotten situation. people's hearts.

There is also his beloved daughter Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, who wholeheartedly accompanied her father to visit Guan County, and was pregnant with the emperor, Li Daozong's beloved daughter...

Li Shimin suddenly stopped the thoughts in his head, and after a few seconds of sluggish expression on his face, he immediately changed into a variety of extremely complicated expressions, including shame, doubt, anger, unwillingness, and finally he mouthed Panting heavily, it is both fear itself and extreme crazy excitement.

Li Shimin, who was gradually clenching his fists, his thoughts turned sharply, and his mood was so entangled that he couldn't get any better. He stood motionless and meditated for more than half an hour, and finally let out a heavy breath, and looked up and put on a sheet of determination. His face and eyes full of blood red express the mood of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at the moment.

In the early morning of the second day, King Rencheng Li Daozong had just eaten breakfast in the palace, and he received an oral order from the palace, requesting King Rencheng to enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Tang.

Li Daozong put down the book in his hand, thought for a moment, thought that probably the emperor brother was worried about Tubo, and called himself to discuss it together, but without any more thoughts, he immediately changed into casual clothes, and accompanied his father-in-law into the palace!  …

234: One day, the emperor will be sorry for the prince [please order in full]

A chessboard is divided into two ends, the red and black chess pieces are in half, Li Shimin holds the red letter Shuaiqi, the first move, Li Daozong holds the black letter shogi, and the second move.

As soon as King Ren Cheng entered the palace, he was pulled closer by a smiling Li Shimin to play chess. Li Daozong held a piece in his hand to play with, the texture was warm and calm like this moment.

Brother Huang's chess moves are no longer open and close as before, but changed the number of moves and become extremely stingy. Every move has to be calculated for a long time, and every move has to be weighed.

During the interval between the two playing chess, they didn't open their mouths to speak. The atmosphere on the court was a bit dull, Li Daozong was inevitably a little lost, probably because he had been with the emperor for a long time, and looking at the emperor now, he couldn't help but feel that the change was quite big.

Li Shimin, who walked out of the palace twice to go to Guan County, the stern imperial aura on his body is no longer glaring, and he has gradually become more restrained. If the previous Li Shimin was a golden dragon who always exhaled his aura, then the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty It is to restrain his minions who are expensive as golden dragons.

There is a bit more unpredictable temperament, a little dangerous, and it is hard to tell whether it is good or bad.

"Chengfan, it's your turn!"

Li Daozong came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at the emperor who had spoken, and gently pushed the horse in front of him with his slender fingers, leaping forward.

237 Li Shimin calmly pulled the cannon back to the rear, lowered his head and said vaguely with emotion: "But you are thinking about Jiannan Road?"

Li Daozong was slightly surprised, but still nodded, and said in the same complicated way: "I am thinking, Your Majesty will enter Jiannan Road for the second time!"

"A lot has changed!"

Oh?

Li Shimin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, was a little curious, looked at Li Daozong with a smile and said: "In Chen Fan's eyes, I have changed for the better!"

"Or did it go bad?"

Li Daozong, who was fiddling with the chess pieces, raised his head, then shook his head again, and said, "I dare not make false comments on Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin nodded following the words, and heard Li Daozong say: "In the eyes of most people, Your Majesty should have changed for the better!"

Has it changed for the better?

Li Shimin's right hand holding a red chess piece froze in mid-air, a bit of astonishment and hesitation appeared on his face, and various emotions in his bitter heart were intertwined, and complex entanglements were being staged.

"Could it be that Chen was wrong?"

Li Daozong opened his mouth suspiciously, with a bit of uncertainty, Li Shimin, who came back to his senses, put away his emotions and said with a smile: "That's right, I just haven't thought about it!"

"Cheng Fan also has a day of boasting!"

Li Dao (afbe) Zong smiled, but did not answer. The two continued to play chess, deliberately avoiding the previous topic.

It took an hour to play three games. In the end, I was afraid that Li Shimin's chess missed a move. Although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very serious and took every step very carefully, he was still cracked by Li Daozong, who was calm and calm. It's a lose-lose situation.

Ugh!

"When it comes to chess games, I still can't compare with you!"

Li Shimin, who sighed with emotion, made Li Daozong hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The subject is a fluke, thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

Li Shimin sighed again, looked at the emperor in front of him and smiled, "You!"

"If you don't do your best, it will be a humiliation to me!"

"I'm going to be serious next time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daozong frowned immediately. On weekdays, the emperor's brother only loses three rounds, and at most loses three rounds, and he will stop here. Why is he interested today.

Li Daozong, who was thinking hard, couldn't figure out what was tricky. His Majesty had already rearranged the chess pieces, so he could only return to his body again and concentrate on the chessboard.

This time the two didn't let the atmosphere remain silent, Li Shimin said while playing chess, "Chengfan, you are serious about this Tubo incident!"

"What do you think?"

Li Daozong must want to start a war in his heart. This is something that any general in the army wants to do. The chattering of literati and courtiers and the next best thing will not only fail to eliminate the wolfish ambitions of foreign countries, but will encourage their arrogance.

But right now Li Daozong was not sure what the emperor wanted, so he couldn't open his mouth indiscriminately, so he could only hesitate and say, "Your Majesty atones!"

"I'm stupid, I don't know how to break the situation!"

The expected answer, if it is in the court, Li Daozong will definitely focus on fighting, but right now there are only two of them, so Li Shimin has already expected the answer.

Li Shimin shook his head, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, don't say it's you!"

"Even I can't get a glimpse of the true face from it, I have to think hard for a few days!"

"Changsun Wuji and others' move to seek peace is the best situation at the moment!"

"Are you saying it's ridiculous?"

Whether it's ridiculous or not, Li Daozong didn't have the courage to open his mouth to talk about it, but the words of the emperor's brother carried a subtle meaning of seeking peace. Could it be that His Majesty really wanted to sacrifice one person in exchange for the continuation of the Great Tang Dynasty for a hundred years?

"Chengfan, if my Tang Dynasty goes to war against Tubo"

"What are the chances of winning?"

Before Li Daozong, who was frowning tightly, could finish thinking, Li Shimin spoke again, pointing to the core of the incident.

Li Daozong put down the chess pieces in his hand, and sighed weakly: "I'm afraid it's less than [-]%!"

It was less than [-]%, and it was still less than [-]% even though Guan County had tested out a lot of military information. Li Shimin did not doubt this veteran who had fought for the Tang Dynasty for many years.

Nor would he feel that Li Daozong was trying to spoil his own prestige with the ambition of others. The situation in the Tang Dynasty was in front of him, and facts speak louder than words.

The more the situation was like this, the more Li Shimin strengthened his mind, sighed and said: "Chengfan, if one day I will let you down!"

"Would you blame me?"

Li Daozong was very surprised, when is it the emperor's brother to be sad, let alone ask such a question to himself.

"I dare not!"

Li Daozong, who couldn't see through Li Shimin, could only hurriedly salute, and didn't even bother to play chess.

Li Shimin laughed at himself, not daring doesn't mean he won't, that is to say, what he wishes in his heart will probably destroy the relationship he has finally repaired with Li Daozong during this period of time.

Li Daozong lowered his head, and from the corner of his eye he looked at Li Shimin, who was in deep thought, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. At first Li Daozong thought that the emperor was asking for peace, but now he asked himself how much it would be like to start a war. Li Daozong immediately thought that the emperor wanted to fight, but why did he put Spare the problem on yourself.

"Don't talk about it, it's all annoying!"

"Continue to play chess!"

Before Li Daozong could finish his thinking, Li Shimin, who had regained his senses, interrupted him, and the two returned to the chess game to play against each other.

This time Li Shimin was very serious, frowned and said nothing, as if he was going to beat Li Daozong in a round, he put all his energy into his body, revealing a desire to win from inside to outside.

Li Daozong was under a lot of pressure even after a losing streak, and his forehead was covered with sweat. In the end game, there were less than half of the chess pieces of the red and black sides. It was hard to imagine that Li Shimin, who had just shown weakness, could burst into such a powerful fighting power in an instant.

Li Daozong looked at his few black chess pieces left on the chessboard, his eyelids twitched wildly for no reason, his heart seemed to be hollowed out under his chest, he didn't know why, but he became more scared and bored.  ….

235: An imperial decree, the whole family weeps

The situation of the end game of the chessboard has become clear, and there are only two generals left for Li Daozong to fight, one cannon, one chariot and two horses!

Li Shimin has two cannons, one horse and three small soldiers in red chess.

No matter how you look at it, Li Daozong has a better chance of winning, but both of them know that the soldiers who cross the river are the truly terrifying existence.

Li Shimin stretched out his finger and middle finger, lightly twisted a red pawn, took a step forward, and placed the checkerboard horizontally between the black horse and the cannon, forming the same horizontal line.

"Chengfan, sometimes I'm thinking about it!"

"Although I am the king of a country, I am no different from ordinary people!"

"When encountering unsolvable problems, you will still weigh the pros and cons!"

"Strive to be the best and be beneficial to the people of the world!"

"But sometimes it's unavoidable to sacrifice something~!"

Li Daozong listened to the emotion of the emperor's brother, and was silent. With his intuition, he could already predict that there must be some hidden decision made by His Majesty to call him this time.

On the chessboard is a typical two-guaranteed-one situation. No matter from what angle you look at it, you should protect the horse.
