Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1459 Worry
Chang'an, Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin lying on the queen's phoenix bed.

Empress Changsun put her jade hand on Li Shimin's waist lightly, the bedroom was still silent, and in the dim candlelight, Li Shimin was quietly lost in thought, as if he didn't notice the queen's little movements.

"Is Your Majesty tired?" Empress Changsun asked softly.

Li Shimin was awakened, and asked suspiciously: "Ah? What did you say?"

"The concubine asked if His Majesty was tired of dealing with the court affairs today?" Empress Changsun asked with some doubts, she was also thinking silently in her heart, did any major events happen in the court today?
"Ah, I'm a little tired." Li Shimin said vaguely.

In fact, nothing major happened in the DPRK, but Li Shimin received a reward from Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou.

Although Li Daoyan did not dare to send people close to Xinghai City, he also sent people to investigate far away. He heard the sound of artillery from Xinghai City in the distance, which meant that the Tubo people had begun to attack Xinghai City. .

When he first received the news, Li Shimin was very happy, which meant that Su Cheng's plan to lure soldiers was successful.

However, after that, he began to worry about Su Cheng again. Although Su Cheng is a genius, he really doesn't have much experience in leading soldiers, let alone defending cities. sky.

Li Shimin was busy dealing with political affairs during the day, and Li Shimin didn't have time to think about it, but when he was free at night, all kinds of distracting thoughts came to him.

To him, Su Cheng is not just a courtier, nor is he just Changle's son-in-law, he really regards Su Cheng as his beloved nephew.

Therefore, he now regrets that he should not have agreed to Su Cheng and let Su Cheng take the risk of being a bait.

Defeat Tubo first, and then slowly figure it out. Although it will take a long time, Tubo can be restrained in the end.

"Your Majesty, is there any embarrassing event in court recently?" Empress Changsun asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin withdrew his mind after hearing this, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no!"

No?Then why does the emperor cry tired?Isn't this inconsistent?Empress Changsun straightened her body, showing infinite spring, and looked at the emperor without blinking her phoenix eyes, and said softly: "Is there something your Majesty is hiding from your concubine?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, don't think so much, just rest!"

The more she heard what the emperor said, the more suspicious Empress Changsun became, but she didn't continue to ask, but lowered her head slightly, with an aggrieved and sad look, and sighed quietly: "It turns out that concubines are no longer worthy of your majesty's trust. "

Although it was not the first time seeing the queen like this, Li Shimin immediately became numb and had no power to resist it.

Li Shimin quickly said: "Nothing, nothing, how can I not trust you? Even if I don't trust everyone in the world, I won't distrust you."

"I have received the military information from Li Daoyan. The army ahead has discovered the enemy's situation. I am inevitably a little worried. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried too."

It sounded reasonable, but the woman's intuition told her that something was wrong. After living together for more than 20 years, Empress Changsun was too familiar with her emperor.

Empress Changsun put away her aggrieved and sad look, and thought: "The last time Zhang Liang led the army, His Majesty was never so worried. This time the leaders are Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Su Cheng. It can be seen that Your Majesty You have already made complete preparations, so His Majesty should be happy when you discover the enemy situation, so why worry?"

Empress Changsun was thinking and analyzing while talking, and suddenly her face turned slightly, she stared at the emperor and asked, "It's not because of Su Cheng, is it? Your Majesty said that Su Cheng was guarding grain and grass in Xinghai City, is it true? Su Cheng will not be sending troops. Right? He is young and energetic, so he went deep alone?"

With such a smart queen, sometimes it is indeed a headache. Li Shimin couldn't help but rubbed his brows. Now the queen has already guessed about this aspect. If he keeps hiding the truth from the queen, it will only make the queen think more wildly.

If it affects Changle because of this, it will be even more troublesome.

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "How could it be possible for Su Cheng to send troops when he was ordered to guard the grain and grass? He must still be guarding the grain and grass in Xinghai, but..."

After hearing the emperor's explanation at the beginning, Empress Changsun was a little relieved, but she couldn't help but raised her heart when she heard the latter.

"But what?" Empress Changsun asked hastily.

Li Shimin coughed dryly and said: "Li Daoyan reported that some scouts heard the sound of rumbling artillery in Xinghai City."

Empress Changsun couldn't help turning pale when she heard this, and said in a lost voice, "The sound of rumbling artillery?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said: "Well, there is the sound of artillery, it is very likely that the Tubo people took the opportunity to attack Xinghai City!"

At this moment, Empress Changsun understood why the emperor was restless. It turned out that the Tubo people were attacking Xinghai City.

Although it was said that Su Cheng leading the army to guard the food and grassland might go to war, but when this happened, Empress Changsun was still a little upset.

Li Shimin quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Su Cheng is a genius. The muskets and cannons of the Shenji Camp are very suitable for defending the city. Su Cheng almost emptied the warehouse of the Firearms Supervision when he was on the expedition. The ammunition is definitely enough. Food and grass are also piled up like a mountain, so Su Cheng can hold on even for a year or so!"

"Of course, it's impossible for Su Cheng to guard Su Cheng for a year or so. Before going to the battle, I told Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong that they must ensure Su Cheng's safety, even if they sacrificed the war. To ensure Su Cheng's safety, they must be returning to help now. It won't be long before Xinghai City will feel that the inside and outside will cooperate and defeat the Tubo people!"

The artillery and muskets of the Shenji Battalion are really powerful, and Su Cheng is both civil and military, and has three large armies returning to aid. Empress Changsun also understands that the possibility of Su Cheng being in danger is very small.

But who can predict what will happen on the battlefield?Although Empress Changsun was relieved a lot, she was still unavoidably worried, and said worriedly: "But Su Cheng is young after all, and lacks experience in defending the city. If, just in case..."

Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Changsun and said in relief: "Isn't there Xue Wanche? He has been battle-hardened and has the courage to be undeserved. Although Su Cheng is usually gentle and elegant, he is also superb in martial arts, and his horse is better than him. My BMW still needs a godly horse, even if the city breaks down, with Xue Wanche helping him, he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement."

Empress Changsun said in a daze, "I'm afraid that he will commit a crime..."

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said: "No, Changle is still pregnant."

After hearing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but glared at the emperor: "Your Majesty also knows that Chang Le is pregnant? So why not let Su Cheng go out?"
