The old foxes didn't mention Li Shimin's question at all, what should happen if Jiannan Dao wins, and they don't believe that Jiannan Dao will win against Tubo.

You talk to me in the court, but there is a somewhat false scene of joy and harmony.

Frowning, Li Shimin didn't express his opinion in a hurry, he kept on controlling the temperature of the pot of old wine in his heart, and seeing that the two factions were about to argue again, he opened his mouth and said,

"What Ai Qing said is exactly!"

"As for rewarding Jiannan Dao, you must not be stingy, don't let me, Tang Dynasty, make others talk!"

"I am very pleased that several lovers have contributed to the country and the people!"

"In order to prevent the hearts of the people in the world, I have made a decision!"

"Organize personnel to collect donations for the frontline soldiers, walking [-] horses, millions of gold and silver, and thousands of livestock!"

"Since it's a donation, there is no need to go through the procedures of the household department. This matter will be supervised by Aiqing Changsun Wuji personally!"

"Five days later, report all of them to the Chang'an General Chamber of Commerce!"

Lu Shou stopped talking, his old face collapsed, Changsun Wuji frowned, feeling uneasy, rewarding Jiannan Dao with more than ten times more than he expected, and not reporting directly through the national treasury Chamber of Commerce?

The civil and military officials above the court are smarter than each other, and they have done nothing less than empty-handed white wolves. If they want to contribute money and effort, it must be more difficult than reaching the sky. If they can't spend so much after five days, wouldn't they still have to die? The aristocratic family to fill the vacancy.

Changsun Wuji was about to refuse, he wanted to do something thankless, and he didn't know what kind of trouble His Majesty was having today, he was more worried than the battle in Jiannan Road.

Ugh!

A sigh interrupted Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin's thoughts moved, he supported his head and said in grief: "Sacrificing a few people from Jiannan Dao can save my Great Tang Dynasty for a hundred years!"

"I have no choice but to feel sorry for him!"

"What do you think Changsun Aiqing wants?"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was about to speak, stopped his desire, and frowned to express his panic at the moment, whether it was a hemorrhage in exchange for the death of the enemy in his heart, or he should hold back this impulsive behavior and cut off his own tail.

The words have been uttered, no matter whether you do it or not, you have already been caught by His Majesty, and you regret it temporarily. It is undoubtedly difficult to gain His Majesty's trust in the future.

Just like Tuyuhun, Changsun Wuji was afraid of the first marriage and two defeats.

Nothing but three.

Gritting his teeth, Changsun Wuji lowered his head, begging for wealth and wealth, and gambled.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your minister must do his best, and die only after death!"

Li Shimin didn't talk nonsense, and after nodding, 280 waved his hand.

"Come on!"

"Purpose!"

When the imperial decree is issued, this matter is already a certainty, and no one dares to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and get away with it.

Changsun Wuji and the other two looked at each other, all three of them had the same pained expressions, but they thought that Lin Hao would die in the future, and the wealth gained in Jiannan Road would not have to be lost as much as today, so they were relieved.

The three of them are worthy of being senior old foxes in the officialdom. They calmed down quickly and exchanged eye contact with each other with a smile, but they forgot one of the most obvious facts.

No matter how straightforward His Majesty's promise is, it must be based on the premise that Jiannan Dao cannot resist.

When Changsun Wuji watched the little eunuch walk into the palace with a cat in front of the palace gate, he felt a little bad in his heart.

When the little eunuch reported to His Majesty that Yuchi Baolin had asked to see him, the three of them frowned at the same time.

Thinking about the good, the general who led the [-] reinforcements returned to the palace at this moment, only the fact that Jiannan Road was defeated and Yuchi Baolin came to ask for help.

Thinking about the worst, it's not the case that Changsun Wuji and the others are willing to go deep, but dare not go deep.

After getting permission, Yuchi Baolin stepped into the palace, and he did not miss the early court, and he did not see the happy scene just now, where Li Shimin's brother-in-law was playing tricks on his uncle.

Yuchi Baolin, who did not look sideways, strode forward with bright armor and a victor's haughty posture. When he walked to the middle of the main hall, Changsun Wuji, who was in the corner of his vision, twitched all over his body, and fell into Lu Shou's arms with a pale face. Eyes fainted.

What kind of bloody investment is this to regain the hearts and minds of the people of Jiannan Road?

The loss went to his grandma's house. ......

298: This world is mine

Li Shimin turned his back, and there was no unnecessary emotional fluctuation on his face, whether it was the decadence of Changsun Wuji, the shock of all the civil servants and generals, and the complex expression of Li Daozong.

Li Daozong, the former emperor's younger brother, was different from the general courtiers of the royal family. He was the only one who knew what Li Shimin did.

The trouble should end it.

Sighing, Li Shimin watched Yuchi Baolin stride into the hall, his heroic appearance was in stark contrast to the limp Changsun Wuji beside him.

Companion is like a tiger.

Now that Changsun Wuji has arrived, even though he can guess the root cause of the matter, it is still difficult for His Majesty to figure out why His Majesty wanted to take the knife on him. Seeing Yuchi Baolin approaching His Majesty, Changsun Wuji struggled to stand up straight, feeling a sudden surge in his heart Nameless fire.

Seeing is believing in everything, but sometimes seeing is untrue?

With the last sliver of hope, Changsun Wuji was thinking about how to maintain a relatively peaceful posture in this established battle situation.

"His Majesty!"

Yuchi Baolin came in front of Li Shimin, stretched out his hands respectfully and presented a Jiannan Dao battle report, the letter from the night before told His Majesty in advance, today's battle report is the magical effect of telling the world.

Even if there is no Li Shimin in the early court today, Yuchi Baolin will still wait for the next morning court to present the battle report in front of civil and military officials. He wants His Majesty to generously admit to the world the great achievements of Jiannan Road.

Li Shimin glanced down for a week with a little deep meaning, and did not speak. After receiving the battle report presented by the eunuch, the expression on his face followed his gaze, and began to become a bit unnatural. He was very good at controlling his emotions.

"Jiannan Dao won..."

Right now, the man in front of the dragon chair above has a very complicated expression, both relaxed after the war and unbelievable doubts, with a bit of unwillingness, he slowly sat on the dragon chair in a daze.

A group of high-ranking officials whispered to each other and their eyes were dark, without doubting the substantive content of the battle report. The fact that Yuchi Baolin handed over the military talisman has proved everything at the moment, and no one is bold enough to figure out His Majesty's intentions. People make it clear.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who suffered the most, was shaking all over. In the warm sunshine of early summer, he felt the long-lost coldness in his heart, and his lips turned purple from the cold.

Li Shimin was indeed taken aback, but he had already learned the exact news the night before. Everyone was scolding Lin Hao for his conceit of guarding a city and a country, and they were expecting him to treat the soldiers of Gyeonggi Province like cannon fodder and disappear. Waiting to see the joke.

Even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who is the king of a country, does not have much hope for this, and 5 people are desperate.Basically, it can be regarded as a loss-making business, but the result is a great surprise.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much was lost in the battle of Jiannan Road~!"

It was Changsun Wuji who spoke out, and he was the only one who hadn't completely given up at the moment. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, Changsun Wuji didn't want to use his own losses to nourish Jiannan Dao.

If Jiannan Dao suffered horrific losses in this battle, it is not impossible to shirk the fact of fundraising with news that does not conform to the common sense of war.

The court hall suddenly became quiet because of the mischief of the eldest grandson. The old, cunning, and noble people had already tasted some sincerity from it, and most of them had a strange feeling of mourning for a dead rabbit and a fox.

"Ten thousand soldiers of Jiannan Province died in battle, and five thousand soldiers of Gyeonggi Province died in battle!"

It was another piece of heavy news, which set off huge waves in an instant. Most people's expressions were dull, they couldn't believe it, they suspected that their ears and His Majesty's old eyes were dim.

After Li Shimin spoke up, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, handed the battle report to the eunuch, and passed it down civilly and militaryly. All the officials who were usually like shrews cursing the street, at this moment were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they all shut their mouths wisely.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the battle report finally reached Changsun Wuji, who was eager to see through it, and hurriedly opened it with his last hope. The black words on it came into view, just like a sharp sledgehammer hitting his mind.

The battle report is true, and there is also a shocking inside story about the recovery of Tubo.

"His Majesty!"

"It must be that Jiannan Dao secretly communicated with Tubo!"

"Otherwise how to recover!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Li Shimin didn't speak, he was a bit sentimental, he was young and vigorous, and whether he was surrounded by literary or martial arts, they all had their own little thoughts, but they were all trustworthy people of the young King Qin. Let's look at his face today.

How could things have turned out like this.

"What Aiqing means is that the [-] soldiers of my Tang Dynasty died in vain!"

"Just now you kept saying that you want me to sympathize with Jiannan Dao!"

"I thought you were really enlightened!"

"I didn't expect to talk nonsense because of my own selfishness!"

"As the uncle of the country, you have no responsibility at all!"

"You disappoint me so much!"

Long Yan was furious.

Li Shimin's roar swept across the court like a wave, and the impacted civil and military forces were on the verge of collapse. Changsun Wuji, who was facing the center of the storm, turned pale, and the anger and pain in his heart was unimaginable.

"' 〃 Do you think the same as Uncle Guo!"

His Majesty spoke again, this time no one spoke, not even the civil servants who usually had a good personal relationship with Mr. Changsun dared to speak.

Most of them lowered their heads in dejection, wondering whether to stand in line again after this turmoil, or...

Stand in line again.

Jiannan Dao privately annexed Tubo, did not go to the court, and did not know the people. It was disrespectful to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The civil and military officials knew it well, and so did Li Shimin.

From Tuyuhun to the present, His Majesty has nothing to do, Jiannan Dao still goes its own way, and under the current situation, it is far better to push the boat with the current than to add fuel to the fire.

Several civil servants came out together, expressing that they have no objection to this matter, and they will definitely do their best to work together to handle the donation matter well.

Then more and more people joined (those who paid money) among them, with the same words to express their attitude, the eldest grandson Wuji who stood alone in the same place became a street mouse that everyone shunned for a while.

"What objection do you have?"

Li Shimin frowned in front of him. It is realistic to cut the flesh and blood of the aristocratic family this time, but the greater benefit is to warn the old foxes who form cliques in the court.

Datang is my world, not yours!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Changsun Wuji trembled, and after the weak words came out, he struggled and fell to his knees. This kneeling was very difficult, his head stuck to the ground, his hands supported him, and his whole body curled up into a ball, buried in his knees Chu's head and face were filled with extreme humiliation.

Retreat!

Li Shimin took a last deep look at the court hall, the first position on the left was a young man who liked to wear red robes before, but unfortunately Changsun Wuji and others have changed, so is King Qin.  …

299: If I don't get rid of this thief, I won't be able to rest in peace【Please order】

The bustling city of Chang'an has recently become the center of a storm. What broke the calm lake surface and brought the storm was the hidden news from the inside of the palace.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the battle between Jiannan Road and Tubo has attracted the attention of all. A little bit of turmoil can make a restaurant storyteller talk about it for several days, let alone the final victory since January.

Therefore, when the disappearance of the great victory in Jiannan Road spread like water vapor, the tea sheds were full, the restaurants were full of seats, and pedestrians in twos and threes crowded the streets. Even Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li next door were able to describe the battle vividly. stop.

This is the happiness that only belongs to ordinary people, and it is far more exciting than the arrival of Zhang's parents, Li Jiashou.

There are many opposing voices, and most of them are pedants who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, as well as shady rumormongers. No matter what era they are, they can't stop these people from appearing.

It's just that when the [-] soldiers who returned to Chang'an appeared in front of them, they wandered the streets and explained the facts, without deliberate embellishments, all from the heart.

The voices of opposition gradually decreased, and the tide of the people overwhelmed those with ulterior motives. Both the country and the people were happy, and it caused a lot of trouble among the people.

Those who have personally experienced it are fueling the flames. The reputation of Jiannan Dao has far exceeded the curiosity of the people about the imperial palace. Lin Hao's name is to be treated with contempt.

Li Shimin didn't have much resistance to this. He was originally the one behind the incident, and he could be regarded as a furnace secretly set up for the great momentum of Jiannan Dao.

Although there is distress in my heart, it is not anger. Lin Hao's state of mind has reached the point of being tempered after several confrontations. less hassle.

As Jiannan Dao annexed Tubo, Lin Hao's power became more and more powerful. Li Shimin was not so dazed that he would not let Li Daozong's beloved daughter marry Tubo. It's okay, he has already beaten him, not to mention Jiannan Dao is a ruthless man who even beat Tubo.

There is no chance of winning this battle.

Said that Cao Cao arrived, and the guards brought Li Daozong soon. After the incident, this was the first private meeting between the royal brothers.

"Chengfan, sit down!"

There was a pot of sake warming on the stove, two wooden rattan chairs, and a small table. Li Daozong sat down opposite the emperor's brother without saying anything.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Li Daozong still has a sharp thorn that cannot be removed in his heart until today, and after letting go of it for a while, he still left a lot of scars, and he treated the former emperor's brother with a neither salty nor light tone.

"There is no need to be strict about etiquette for Cheng Fan, there are no monarchs and ministers today!"

"Only you and my brother!"
