Li Shen did not accompany them throughout the whole process, and he did not play either.

While the group of old guys were eating, Li Shen took the opportunity to play by himself.

With Xixi and Yangyang, Li Shen played one project at a time.

"Haha, Your Majesty, how did you come up with all these? Such fun things, I have to go back and make one too, it's so fun."

Cheng Chuliang shouted happily,

The extra-long slide, especially the steep one, is undoubtedly very thrilling.

Others also shouted from time to time.

Li Shen also brought his two children to have fun with the playboys.

The sky began to darken slowly. Li Shen originally thought that Li Shimin would return to the palace, but Li Shen waited for a long time and there was no movement.

"Brother, what's going on?" Li Shen leaned close to Li Chengqian and asked quietly.

"What's wrong, Tenth Brother? What's wrong?" Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Li Shen.

He had a lot of fun today and didn't communicate much with Li Shen.

"Of course it's not right. It's getting late. Why hasn't Aye returned to the palace yet? The city gates are about to close."

Li Shen pointed to the sun in the west.

"How would I know this? Why don't you go ask Aye in person? Go ahead. I'll take Juer there."

After saying this, Li Chengqian took Li Jue away.

Hey? What's your attitude? If I dare to ask, will I still ask you?

Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Shen complained in his heart.

"Hey~~? That's not right. As the crown prince, why don't you go back to the East Palace?"

Li Shen suddenly realized that the emperor could not be outside, and neither could you, the prince.

But Li Chengqian had already gone far away.

Li Shen discovered that he was the only one who was not so happy in the whole manor, while everyone else was quite happy.

It's just something you don't care about.

Thinking of this, Li Shen suddenly understood.

"Who cares? What does it have to do with me? Come on, Xixi and Yangyang, Aye will take you out to play."

It was almost dark when Li Shen stood on the embankment and shouted:

"Light the lamp~~~"

"Prince Ji has ordered, turn on the lights~~~~" Immediately a servant shouted from below.

"Light the lamp~~~"

"Light the lamp~~~"

One after another, servants began to convey Li Shen's orders, and ice lanterns were lit one by one.

Colorful, like the rainbow.

In the end, the entire ice and snow city was illuminated as if it were daytime.

"So magnificent~"

"Your Highness Prince Ji is truly a man of great talent."

"How many candles are needed?"

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

Li Shen stood on the embankment, looking at the bright lights below, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

I guess I am the first person to create Ice City.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to make a camera, otherwise he would definitely capture this beautiful scenery.

It seems that I have to ask Wang Xiaoxin to come over tomorrow to paint this beautiful scenery.

After lighting the ice lanterns, people stopped playing and went around to look at the ice lanterns.

The ice lanterns make these ice sculptures even more pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Majesty is calling you over." A young eunuch came over and bowed to report.

"Okay." Li Shen nodded.

Li Shimin was resting in an ice house at the moment.

There was a round table with some dried fruits and tea.

"Father, what do you want me to do?" Li Shen came in and asked.

"Please sit down." Li Shimin pointed.

After Li Shen sat down, Li Shimin personally poured a cup of tea for Li Shen, which made Li Shen flattered.

I thought to myself that this matter might not be a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Aye." Li Shen took it with both hands.

"The Tibetan envoys have submitted their credentials, and they want us to release their princess and prince.

Especially the prince named Gongrigonzan. As far as I know, he is the only son of Songtsen Gampo.

Tubo will take back Gongri Gongzan at all costs."

"at all costs?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Shen showed a disdainful expression.

"Aye, now that our Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful, why should we fear Tubo?

How can they give it to him if they want it?"

"That being said, I don't want to see war. The Tang Dynasty is now strong and the people are living and working in peace.

We will also send troops to the Western Regions this year. If Tubo takes the opportunity to invade, we will have to fight in many places, which will consume a lot of national strength.

This is fundamentally detrimental to the country, and some court officials proposed releasing Gong Ri and Gong Zan. "

Li Shimin expressed his own views.

The Tang Dynasty finally prospered for a few years, and the national strength was on the rise.

War costs money, so some unnecessary wars should be avoided if possible.

Li Shen also understood what Li Shimin meant.

"Aye, there will be a war between our Tang Dynasty and Tubo. It will be either him or her death. Even if we release Gongri and Gongzan, it will not make them change their minds.

Our Great Tang has a vast territory and abundant resources. It is a serious problem in other countries. Our Great Tang is a piece of fat meat.

If they had the ability, they would have taken a bite a long time ago.

So why should we let it go?"

Li Shen still opposed releasing Gongri Gongzan. In his opinion, it would be better to kill him and prevent Songtsen Gampo from having any descendants.

Seeing Li Shen being so radical, Li Shimin was a little unsure.

"How about the plan you mentioned last time?"

Li Shimin thought of Li Shen's secession plan.

"Replying to Aye, I have sent people to contact Li Mijia, the king of Xiangxiong, as well as the Nepalese and Qiang tribes.

There are also some tribal leaders in the Sunboru area.

We have sent them a lot of food this year, but we have not told them about the plan to deal with Songtsen Gampo."

Li Shen reported that he had already arranged for the caravan of Prince Ji's Mansion to do this.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this:

"Well, we can't rush things. We need to take it slow."

"Yes, Aye, I will slowly contact more small tribes in the name of the Western Region Caravan.

Find those tribal leaders who have disloyalty towards Songtsen Gampo and help them grow stronger.

Li Mijia from Zhangzhung is the best candidate."

Li Shimin was quite satisfied with Li Shen's arrangement. At least this son was able to do things. No matter whether things succeeded or not, at least he did it and didn't just talk about it all day long.

“You have done a good job, but you must be careful. It is said that Songtsen Gampo is a man of great ambition and talent.

Don't let him see any clues."

"Don't worry, Aye, the time has come. Even if he can't see it, we will send someone to inform him.

Otherwise, how could they cause chaos?

As long as they attack each other, both will suffer losses.

Our 50,000 elite troops in Qinghai Road can march directly southward with unstoppable force.

Go straight to their capital, Logia."

Li Shen was very confident that the 50,000 troops of Qinghai Road were much stronger than the palace soldiers, and even surpassed the border troops and were close to the imperial guards.

It’s just that their equipment can’t catch up with the Imperial Guards.

When Li Shimin heard what Li Shen said, he was also somewhat moved. Conquering Tubo would be a great achievement.

"Then when we summon the Tibetan envoy in a few days, you can come with him. Gao Ming will send someone to notify you then."

"Aye, my body..."

Before Li Shen could finish, Li Shimin picked up the teacup and said something harsh in a casual tone.

"If you don't go, you will be caned eighty times."

(Some people will definitely say that I am not willing to fight in this article, but there are too many specific reasons, so I won’t go into details.

Looking back at history, we can see that countries were willing to seek peace even when they had a clear chance of winning.

For example, Princess Wencheng was sent away because Songtsen Gampo had conquered Songzhou, although he was later driven away.

However, in order to prevent Songtsen Gampo from continuing to harass them, Princess Wencheng was sent over. At that time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was much stronger than that of Tubo.

Let’s have a lively discussion.)
