Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 288 Showdown in the Imperial City

Now the entire Tang Dynasty is in need of money everywhere.

In particular, Li Shimin wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had just signed the Weishui River Alliance with the Turks. The other party would never have expected that he would take the initiative to attack the next year and catch them off guard without any precautions.

Originally, Li Er earned a large amount of money from the grain business and the cooperation with the bank and Chu Xin, and even extorted 1000 million taels of silver from Chu Mo.

I felt my waist was bulging, and I had the confidence to fight the Turks.

He directly ordered Li Jing to start training troops, thinking that after the autumn grain harvest, he would directly send troops to the grassland to fight for the teeth of the Weishui River.

However, he was tricked several times by Chu Mo and lost nearly half of Zuo Lingjun and 800 Xuanjia troops outside Chang'an City, which made him temporarily give up his previous plan.

When Chu Xin mentioned this, the fire of revenge that had been extinguished started to burn again.

Yes, now Li Jing has almost trained his troops, and he has obtained such a large amount of supplies. Not only has the people's livelihood problems in Chang'an City been solved, but his treasury and logistics have also been greatly enriched.

If he didn't take this opportunity to capture the Turks, Li Shimin would feel sorry for himself.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, then laughed and said to Chu Xin: "Miss Chu really has a beautiful heart. If she were not a daughter, I would definitely make her a military advisor."

When Chu Xin saw the strange look in Li Shimin's eyes, her heart immediately tightened, and then she smiled softly and said:

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. How can a common woman, an ordinary woman, win your Majesty's eyes? Moreover, since ancient times, women have not been allowed to be officials, and common women have no desire for officialdom."

"What the women of the people want is nothing more than three meals a day, no shortage of money. As for other things, the women of the people don't dare to think too much."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, as if he believed Chu Xin's words, but also seemed to be thinking about something.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Shimin to speak slowly: "I wonder if Miss Chu has someone she likes now. If not, do you think I..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a hurried knock on the door of the room.

Li Shimin looked at the door with an unkind look on his face and shouted: "Come in."

Seeing that Li Shimin's words were interrupted, Chu Xin felt relieved.

She certainly knew what Li Shimin would say next.

If Li Shimin said those words, it would be golden words.

If it were his previous self, he would definitely be extremely happy.

But since she realized that Li Shimin was wary of her, Chu Xin knew that if she really did what Li Shimin wanted and entered his harem.

Chu Xin believed that it wouldn't be long before she would fall into the endless harem battle.

And Li Shimin, who covets his own wealth, will definitely use various excuses that he cannot refuse to slowly eat away at his own property.

When the time comes, as an orphan, with no one to rely on behind her, and no foundation for a life in her hands, she will definitely throw it away after being drained of its remaining value by Li Shimin.

Thinking of this, Chu Xin's hatred for Chu Mo deepened.

If Chu Mo's loser hadn't suddenly changed his nature and he couldn't control it, it would have been completely impossible to confront Li Er head-on with only their current financial resources.

There was no need for him to give up most of the fat in his mouth to Li Shimin.

If Chu Mo were here right now, he would definitely spit on Chu Xin's face.

What the hell, I'm also a time traveler, and I'm still your brother. Why should I dedicate myself to pave the way for you and be your lackey under Chu Xin?

You are so capable, why don't you achieve your goals yourself?

At this time, the sound of the door opening brought Chu Xin's thoughts back to reality.

Li Xiaogong, wearing armor, walked in from the door, knelt down on one knee and said to Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, two super masters were found confronting each other in the imperial city. According to the predictions of several worshipers, both of them are masters at the master level. They will eventually be incompetent and cannot be expelled. I have come to ask your Majesty to make a decision."

Li Shimin suddenly stood up when he heard that two master-level experts were breaking into the imperial city.

But not only was there no panic on his face, there was even a little bit of joy on his face.

"How long have those two people been in the imperial city? Have they started taking action now? Is there any action from my father's side?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, those two people just entered the imperial city not long ago, and the ministers came in such a hurry that they didn't have time to investigate in detail."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't like Li Xiaogong's way of doing things very much. He didn't have Li Junxian's calmness and calmness at all. He even hurriedly came to report to him before the matter was fully investigated.

"In that case, then you should come back to the palace with me. I want to see which kind of immortal dares to break into the imperial city so openly."

Afterwards, Li Shimin said hello to Chu Xin and left in a hurry.

Seeing Li Shimin's leaving figure, Chu Xin clenched her fists with unwillingness on her face.

After thinking about it, Chu Xin looked at Shi Weitian opposite. After a long time, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and shouted into the room:

"Make some noise tonight so that Li Er can't concentrate on coveting me."

A sudden echo came from the empty room, and then fell into silence again.

When Li Shimin hurried back to the palace, he looked up and saw two figures standing on the roof of Tai Chi Palace.

One of them felt extremely familiar to Li Shimin. When he took a closer look, he saw that the one in white could be someone other than Yang Hongyu.

As for the white-haired old woman opposite her, Li Shimin naturally didn't know who she was.

Thinking of Yang Hongyu suddenly confronting Chu Xin here, Li Shimin felt guilty for no reason.

Could it be that he made this aunt angry by attacking Chu Mo, so the other party came to kill him?

And when he happened to be no longer in the palace, he was stopped by his father's master?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at the old god beside him, Li Yuan, who was lying on a chair watching the excitement. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My son, I have met my father."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan didn't raise his eyelids and had no intention of replying.

Li Shimin has long been accustomed to it and doesn't feel embarrassed.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed all the attendants around him, then took two steps forward and respectfully said to Li Yuan:

"Father, that old woman on the roof is the guardian of our Li family?"

Li Yuan then raised his head, glanced at Li Shimin disdainfully and said:

"Why, you don't know about the person you offended, and now you ask me about it? Wipe your own butt, I won't use my guardian because of an unfilial person like you."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel nervous.

So it seems that these two people have nothing to do with the Li family?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly realized that Chu Xin had said before that there was a way to deal with Yang Hongyu. It seemed that it should be the old woman in front of him.

However, when they were facing each other, why did they choose Tai Chi Palace?
