Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 859 Excited

Empress Changsun was also very curious. Su Cheng actually presented a letter. Whose letter is this?What exactly was written in the letter?What does this have to do with Su Cheng?

Although she was very curious, she didn't read the letter. Although the emperor might not care, she respectfully accepted her duty.

Empress Changsun looked at Su Cheng's face, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

Li Shimin looked at a page with a very disgusted expression on his face, and said speechlessly: "This is a letter for you? It's really disgusting to flatter you!"

Su Cheng was very dissatisfied when he heard that, how could it be called disgusting?Are you not allowed to tell the truth?

Besides, some eulogizing memorials are much more disgusting than this. Don’t you just enjoy reading them?

"Why are you showing me this?" Li Shimin wondered, did he come here to make fun of him?

This is the wrong person. If you want to talk about flattery, who in the world has heard and seen more than the emperor?

Empress Changsun was also very puzzled. With Su Cheng's character, how could he bring such a letter into the palace to show His Majesty?

This is Yuan Gai Su Wen's letter. The first part is Yuan Gai Su Wen congratulating him on the title of Duke of Jin. The latter part is the key point.

Su Cheng coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, please read on patiently!"

Do you have to be patient to read such a disgusting letter?

Are you embarrassing me, Li Shimin?

Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued to read.

Empress Changsun became even more curious, what kind of medicine was sold in Su Cheng's gourd?

Just when Empress Changsun was thinking this way, Li Shimin laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of surprises.

This time Li Shimin learned to be good, we didn't look carefully, but looked down at ten lines at a glance, and quickly found the key point.

Oh, what are you laughing at?

The curiosity in Empress Changsun's heart was like being scratched by a cat's paw. What was written in the letter that made the emperor so happy?

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Shimin said three good words in succession, showing how happy he was.

"What did you write in the letter that made His Majesty so happy?" Empress Changsun finally couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Li Shimin said happily: "This is Yuangai Suwen's letter, Goguryeo is going to send troops to attack Silla!"

Empress Changsun was surprised when she heard this: "Oh? Goguryeo is really going to send troops?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's not that we are going to send troops, we should have already sent troops by now!"

Empress Changsun said a little speechlessly: "Su Cheng, you really know how to fool!"

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "It's not that the minister will fool you, but ambition."

Li Shimin walked around the hall with a look of surprise, while Empress Changsun watched with concern.

Empress Changsun's mood is a bit complicated. On the one hand, she knows that the emperor's dream is to conquer Goguryeo, and she very much hopes that the emperor can realize his dream.

But on the other hand, Emperor Sui Yang's three Eastern Expeditions all failed and caused the Sui Dynasty to perish, which also left a shadow in her heart.

Su Cheng didn't feel worried, because in the history before he came, Li Shimin had launched the Eastern Expedition. Although he didn't finally destroy Goguryeo, he didn't suffer much.

It did not let Datang weaken or perish.

Now because of his arrival, Datang has become more powerful, with cotton clothes to keep out the cold, muskets and cannons, and more food. It makes no sense that the result has become worse, right?

Therefore, even if Li Shimin launched the Eastern Expedition, even if he did not succeed in destroying Goguryeo, the result would not be bad.

Yang Guang marched to the east, and Li Shimin also marched to the east. Yang Guang mobilized millions of troops, while Li Shimin mobilized only 10,000+ troops, but the results were quite different. Why?

In the final analysis, it is not a question of the boss's ability!

Therefore, Su Cheng's mentality was very peaceful. The last time he went to the East was a big victory, and it was not impossible to conquer Goguryeo.

The role of cannons in siege of cities and villages cannot be underestimated.

However, Li Shimin's mentality was not peaceful at all. He was very excited and looking forward to the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, but also a little worried.

But what he is worried about is not failure, he has strong confidence in himself, otherwise he would not regard the Eastern Goryeo as a dream.

Li Shimin stopped and asked: "Goguryeo is stronger than Silla, and the king of Silla is a queen, so he is naturally weak. Of course, fighting depends not only on the strength of the country, but also on the strength of the generals. After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly!"

"Yuan Gai Suwen is very young, do you think he can lead the army?"

Don't you know if it's okay?Su Cheng couldn't help muttering in his heart.

In the original history, it was Yuan Gai Su Wensheng who alone blocked Li Shimin's imperial conquest.

Yuan Gai Su Wenneng fought against Li Shimin and a group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and withstood Li Shimin's three Eastern Expeditions. One can imagine his military ability.

Peninsula No.1 will not be blown out.

Su Cheng nodded affirmatively and said: "Your Majesty, although Yuan Gai Suwen is young, he is extremely talented in military affairs. He is a genius for leading troops in battle!"

"Compared with all the famous generals of my Tang Dynasty, I am not inferior! If Your Majesty wants to march eastward, this person will definitely be the biggest obstacle!"

Li Shimin couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard this, although he had seen Yuan Gai Suwen, he really didn't take Yuan Gai Suwen seriously.

He never expected that Su Cheng would give Yuan Gai Su Wen such a high evaluation!

He even felt that Yuan Gai Suwen was no worse than a famous general in the Tang Dynasty!

With Yuan Gai Suwen leading the army, wouldn't it be easy for Goryeo to break through Silla?

Li Shimin was not surprised but happy, and laughed loudly: "Okay, I am not afraid that Yuan Gai Suwen is too strong, but I am afraid that he is too weak! I would like to meet him for a while to see if he can really compare with my subordinates Famous general!"

"According to what you say, Silla will definitely send envoys to ask for help! It's done!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's time to make preparations!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It is indeed time to make preparations earlier, in fact, I have already secretly ordered to transfer grain to the north!"

"Also secretly ordered the prisoner to make more preparations. However, if I want to continue to transfer grain to Liaodong, I must need a reason!"

Large-scale grain transfer to Liaodong is not something that the emperor can do with just a word. It also requires the cooperation of the three provinces, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry. It is impossible to hide it from others.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other courtiers must be asking, why is there a large-scale transfer of grain to Liaodong?

After all, large-scale grain adjustment is no small matter.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's better to let out a little rumor first. It's not a secret that the minister's caravan went to Goguryeo."

"Just say that the caravan of the minister has received the exact news that Goguryeo has been unstable recently and there are signs of mobilizing troops!"

"It's okay to make some preparations in advance!"

The words are so vague, everyone didn't think that Goguryeo wanted to attack Datang?

Li Shimin clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right, that's it!"
