Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

If you object to this, then you are not a man.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to say anything against it for a while.

"That's the end of this matter. You will step back and go back to prepare the conquest plan. After the spring plowing, you will recruit troops to start the war."

All civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of bewilderment and worry.

"This~~"

Many civil officials had no choice but to retreat, leaving only some important officials to look at Li Shimin, and those who asked questions with their eyes would start the next game from time to time.

And Li Shimin glanced at him, frowned and said to the important minister: "If you persuade me, then you don't have to. I am not a person who is not only important."

"That's it for today, I will go back to rest and write up my plan. I will also consider the letter of war and announce it when I pay tribute."

The ministers looked at each other, and it seemed that Li Shimin was determined to conscript himself.

Thinking of this, the ministers had mixed feelings in their hearts, remembering that they were once conquered by his courage and charm. Maybe this is Li Shimin, a self-willed, frank and sincere emperor who understands righteousness and has the world in mind.

"The minister waits to leave!!"

Li Shimin spoke directly, signaling everyone to go down, and all civil and military officials could only resign.

"Hey, it's a waste of time and money again."

"The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and Goguryeo's strength is not weak either!!"

"I only hope that His Majesty can return in triumph."

"···"

After everyone left, Li Shimin and Li Tai walked in the corridor back to the bedroom.

Li Tai was filled with emotion, but he did not expect that Li Shimin would still conquer Goguryeo himself.

Historically, this battle was not easy. Although Li Shimin won, he returned injured. In the autumn, when the food and grass were exhausted, he started the mode of fighting to support the war, and finally returned triumphantly.

"I think it's time for the cannon and the ships to be revealed."

As soon as Li Tai turned his head, the lantern with the red letter on the pillar swayed in the north wind, and the reflected light shone on Li Shimin's body like a layer of blood.

Li Tai had already expected Li Shimin's idea.

"I feel that the time has come. You can tell the civil and military officials to let them see the power, but you can't tell the reason."

Li Shimin nodded and smiled.

"I think so too. Tell the civil and military officials about the ships and cannons, and we will be able to work together to conquer Goguryeo. When the time comes, I will use my troops to build an invincible fleet!!"

With that said, he asked with a serious face.

"And after my personal conquest, the great burden of the world fell on the body of the emperor, and the lives of the millions of households were all in the hands of the emperor alone.

Could it be possible for the emperor to shoulder the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty and the people of Liming? "

Li Tai paused for a moment, and replied without hesitation: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely shoulder the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty and manage the people of Liming well!!"

"Yeah." After hearing Li Tai's assurance, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction: "The emperor is well-informed, and I feel inferior. I believe that the emperor will handle it well."

After paying tribute, let Wei Zheng tell the people of the world what happened, and let the people of the world support me. "

"It's just such a military secret, it's probably inappropriate to tell the world..." Li Tai raised his brows, he was trying to use public opinion to make trouble! !

"Such important events cannot be hidden from the world. Instead of letting the world guess, it is better to tell them openly."

"My son understands!!"

Li Tai nodded, whether it's conscription or grain... people in the world will know sooner or later, and they will be able to see the reaction of people in the world.

At the same time, the ambassador station (the countries that pay tribute live in the station), the residence of Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty was killed by Quan Gaijin!?" Crown Prince Gao Huanquan stepped forward and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible, how is this possible!?"

Just now, Quan Zhiyong took over the caravan and brought news from Goguryeo that his father Rongliu Wang—Gao Jianwu was killed by Quan Gaijin, and he became an orphan immediately.

This made Gao Huanquan, the prince, unbelievable. Goguryeo had an army of 60. How could it be killed by a minister? This is simply a fantasy.

But the fact is in front of his eyes, now the emperor is his uncle, Treasure King, otherwise Quan Zhiyong would not be sent to take over the caravan.

He changed from a high-ranking prince to an orphan overnight, and maybe he will start a wandering life from then on.

But soon, Quan Zhiyong handed over a letter and said arrogantly with disdain on his face: "This is a letter from King Treasure, requesting a change of strategy towards Datang."

"Change?" Gao Huanquan opened the letter, and was stunned when he saw it, and said with a sad face: "If I do this, I will definitely die without a place to die!!"

When King Rongliu was alive, his attitude towards Datang was actually cowardly. This was because Li Shimin actually wiped out the Turks, so he was afraid of sending them away directly.

But this time, the prince was sent to pay tribute to express his full love.

"This is the king's order now. I can't help myself. If you don't want to, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Quan Zhiyong looked at Gao Hengquan unremittingly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and slowly pulled out the knife.

But Gao Huanquan's face was full of despair, but he had nowhere to escape: "You can't kill me, I'm the prince of Goguryeo!"

"The king said that there is no need for a useless prince!"

As he said that, Quan Zhiyong ruthlessly wiped Gao Huanquan's throat with a knife, and blood gushed out like a spring.

Gao Huanquan clutched his neck in disbelief, he couldn't speak, and fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe that he would end up like this until he died.

At the same time, the Silla people also looked at the news in disbelief, panicking, only feeling a big danger word on their heads.

"No, I have to quickly ask the Emperor of Tang to save our country, otherwise Silla will perish."

······

The first day of the first lunar month.

Li Shimin's schedule is always pinched. First, he has to pay homage to the ancestors of the Taimiao, then he worships the gods from all walks of life, and finally he eats breakfast with his family and writes down New Year's blessings...

After the sound of "Fu Shou Wu Boundless" New Year's greetings, the opening ceremony of the tribute began.

The orchestra in the imperial palace played "Qin Wang's Breaking the Array Music" outside the palace, accompanied by dozens of bands, and hundreds of drums shook the sky, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles.

"May the Tang Dynasty prosper and prosper forever."

"May the Tang Dynasty prosper and prosper forever."

The civil and military officials were very excited when they saw it, and they were extremely excited.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is really extraordinary..."

"Oh Mai Kar, every time I see it, I can't help but want to dance together."

"···"

And many foreign envoys will dance together. (This song is about Li Shimin's experience, but it's a pity that the music only exists in Wa Kingdom.)

After the song and dance, an eunuch announced: "There is a Tang Dynasty in Zhaozhao, and the heavens serve all nations. The ancestors obeyed the orders, and the four sects obeyed the rules. Shenxi has no boundaries, and the ancestors have the same virtue. Great-grandchildren follow the order, enjoy the gods and match them..."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin sat on the main hall and looked at the tribute from the subordinate country with a solemn expression, while all civil and military officials watched the tribute from the subordinate country together.

A representative of a country stepped forward to salute Li Shimin and said, "The kingdom of ghosts, the king greets the Holy Emperor. This time, I will make offerings and dance... the elf god tree..."

As soon as the words fell, a group of white-haired girls with white hair, big eyes, and beautiful looks appeared in front of everyone and started dancing...

The country of ghosts here is probably the country of geese in modern times. They also believe in religion and believe that every tree has its own soul.Tap it to get the blessing of the tree spirit.

Every year, a lot of lightning strike wood and other wood are offered, except for the white-skinned white-haired girl, which is not exotic.

It's a pity that all civil and military officials couldn't appreciate it, only Li Tai watched it with relish.

"En!" Li Shimin nodded, looked at it symbolically, and then said, "Give the glazed tree... thousands of "Mahayana Buddhism"."

"Glass tree??"

"It's terrible, Datang is really rich with such a precious thing."

"Yeah, I don't know if our country can change to Liuli."

Many envoys talked a lot, and they were very happy with Li Shimin's generosity.

And the Liugui Kingdom even made a five-body throwing salute and said: "Thank you for the gift of the Holy Emperor." After finishing speaking, he took the gift and left with a smile on his face.

But only Li Shimin and Li Tai looked at each other and smiled silently.

If it was necessary to return gifts in the past, such as gold, silver, silk and satin.

But this year is different. The sand is not worth much at all, but the colored glaze made of it is very valuable, and it can be said to be a win-win for returning gifts. They don’t need the treasury to bear too much, and they are also very happy.

At that time, the civil and military officials didn't know the formula, and they all showed embarrassment, feeling sorry.

"Such a big glazed tree, I'm afraid it will be worth a lot!!"

"The emerald green color, the texture of the leaves... are really ingenious."

After many countries returned their gifts one by one, it was finally the turn of Silla and other countries.

As soon as he came up, the envoy of Silla came with a big gift, and cried bitterly: "I beg His Majesty the Holy Emperor to be the master of the next country!!"

Chapter 147 Misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding

As soon as the Silla envoy opened his mouth, he begged Li Shimin to be the master, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"This envoy from Silla kneels downright!"

"The conquest of the four countries, if it were changed, no one would want to be the people of the subjugated country."

Although surprised, the civil and military officials expressed that they could understand the simplicity of the Silla envoy's kneeling. After all, in the current situation, Li Shimin is Silla's only life-saving straw.

On the other hand, the unknown foreign envoy looked at this scene with a puzzled face, talking a lot.

"What's going on with this Silla envoy?"

"Isn't the business a few days ago quite prosperous?"

Among the foreign crowd, Goguryeo and Waguo, who knew the inside story, tried to look at each other with cold expressions, looking at them with disdain.

Li Shimin looked around, took a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and asked pretending not to know.

"Why is the Silla envoy Ha giving such a big gift?" The Silla envoy looked up at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin must know the news about Goguryeo, just asking, what does it mean?

He couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow Li Shimin's words.

"The Kingdom of Silla regards the Great Tang as its superior state, and has always kept its duties to itself, and lived in peace with many vassal states without aggression against each other."

"In October, Goguryeo blatantly violated the treaty and joined forces with Baekje, Wa, and Fuyu to attack our country, and now it has captured more than ten cities in our country.

Xiaguo implored the Holy Emperor to send troops to support him. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin remained calm and pretended to think. Although he had decided to send troops, he couldn't just agree so easily.

"No wonder, Silla is about to destroy the country, so this is the last chance of life."

"Goguryeo, Waguo and Baekje attacked Silla, but if you count on the Tang Dynasty, you may not be able to count on it."

"So, isn't Silla doomed to perish?"

"However, I don't seem to have seen Baekje's envoys!?"

"It seems that I didn't see the prince of Goguryeo either!?"

And countless foreign envoys talked a lot, and turned their eyes to the envoys of Goguryeo and Wa, leaving a circle of open space.

The Silla envoy burst into tears and was extremely sad. He kowtowed his head heavily, and when he got up again, his forehead was already bleeding, and he pleaded.

"This agreement was made by you, the Holy Emperor. They blatantly violated and attacked Silla. The loss of ten cities in Silla is small, but the Holy Emperor's face is great!

Xiaguo implores the Holy Emperor to send troops to teach Goguryeo, who does not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, that Silla, our country, is willing to be a vassal forever, serve the kingdom of heaven, and pay ten times the tribute! ! "

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't answer, the Silla envoy made the request here, but this time it meant a little kidnapping.

The implication is that the two brothers Goguryeo and Baekje took the lead in the rebellion, you have to send someone to teach them a lesson, otherwise you will lose face in front of these more than 200 brothers.

As soon as the words fell, more than 200 foreign envoys were discussing and having different expressions.

"Ten times the tribute? To be a minister forever, I am afraid that no amount of tribute will be in vain."

"Heh, Goguryeo has 60 troops, plus Baekje and Wa Kingdom, I'm afraid there are nearly a million troops!!"

"The events of the previous dynasty are still vivid in my mind. Now that the Tang Dynasty is recuperating, I am afraid that the strength will not be able to defeat that Goguryeo!"

"It's hard to say, Shangguo conquered the Turks. A few years ago, Goguryeo gave a map of its territory as a gift to the Holy Emperor after listening to it!"
