The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 917

Let's say that as soon as Li Shimin returned to Daming Palace, Empress Changsun followed behind.

Before he is sad.

But a telegram came up.

It was an eunuch who sent the telegram.

He respectfully sent the telegram with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this telegram was sent from Yingzhou two hours ago, please read it!"

That is when Li Shimin left, the telegram came.

Where Yingzhou is located is the border with Goguryeo.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde was arranged to guard Datang's territory there.

To the northeast, there are Goguryeo, Silla, and Japanese troops stationed there.These clowns are so annoying!

These people claim to be military drills, but everyone knows their intentions.

At this time, it must not be a good thing to send a telegram from there.

Therefore, Li Shimin didn't care about sadness.

Picked up the telegram directly.

Seeing this, the whole person was sluggish.

"What! This Goguryeo doesn't take me seriously! It's really courageous! And the Japanese people, I'm so mad! These small countries dare to do this! They are so courageous! I really don't want to live Yet?"

"Your Majesty let me see?"

"Give!"

Empress Changsun was also surprised at this time, she took the telegram and read it.

At the same time, he was shocked.

"Unexpectedly, they built fortifications on the border! It seems that they are going to fight for a long time! But they ignore my determination! They must be cleared!"

Concubine Yang said: "The people of the Japanese country rely on their own location and are facing the sea, and their navy is stronger than other countries. They think that my Tang Dynasty dare not do anything to them, so they come here. It is really a villain. .”

Because Li Shimin punished the Japanese pirates before and made them hold grudges, so he did this. This kind of behavior makes people angry!It was their fault first!But because of this, it is not good for Datang!

It turned out that this telegram was written by Yuchi Jingde.

It is said that Goguryeo and other countries built fortifications on the border of Yingzhou.

There were all these things that were not there before, and suddenly there are these things. Does it mean that they want to go further?
As mentioned above, Goguryeo and other countries gathered a large number of soldiers and performed military exercises every day.

It seems to be preparing for something.

At the same time, one more thing was mentioned.

That is to let Li Shimin allocate funds to strengthen the city wall, build fortifications, train soldiers, and even use money to recruit soldiers to strengthen the defense.

Naturally, Li Shimin would not directly finalize such a major event.

Also think about it and ask other people for their opinion.

So ordered.

"Send the order, and in half an hour, all the officials will go to court!"

This matter is no small matter, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Half an hour, although very rushed, but it is also a last resort.

……

With the order to go, everyone moved.

within half an hour.

All civil and military officials came in a hurry.

At this time, Li Shimin also allowed Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang to go to court together.

This is imitating Li Yin's approach.It's also what he wants to do, reuse two women and make himself easy.

But I have to say that the talents of these two women are naturally not weak.

Compared with five women, it may not be much worse.

Civil and military officials were puzzled why Li Shimin suddenly let them go to court.

Seeing him frowning, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Until he opened his mouth and said: "I received a telegram from Yingzhou!"

Everyone probably understood what was going on.

It must be the telegram.

What did the telegram say?
"Come on, read!"

Then, a eunuch read out the contents of the telegram.

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all frowned.

So say...

This is a big deal.

Everyone started talking
And Li Shimin asked next: "Everyone has listened, so what do you think next?"

At this time, Fang Xuanling came out and said, "Your Majesty, if we build fortifications, the cost will naturally not be small. A while ago, we only built nine hospitals, invested a lot of money for people's livelihood, and invested in railway construction and other things." , This year the imperial court spent a lot of money, if you spend more money, I'm afraid the finances won't be able to support it!"

Yes, for this matter, Li Shimin was cheated of a lot of money by Li Yin and invested in people's livelihood.

But the money was not taken by Li Yin, it was for the construction of Datang.

The money is profitable, but the income may take longer.

The problem now is that the financial support is not enough.

But some people said: "Your Majesty, I think that this fortification must be built! Otherwise, if Goguryeo invades, then our frontier will not be peaceful, and the country will not be a country!"

"I also agree! There must still be money in the treasury now, and the Shengtang Group can contribute a lot of tax revenue in a month, so use that money to fix it!"

Someone also suggested: "Is it necessary to repair the defense? How about upgrading the weapons! How about building more weapons?"

More people have the same idea as Fang Xuanling.

That is to make this thing, which is too expensive.

It takes time, and it's not nice.

It's better to make weapons faster.

But some people also said that building this thing will be useful in the future, and it is not just to put it away.

At the same time, Wei Zheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Sixth Prince to see how he decides? Maybe he can have a better solution?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he was upset.

"He can do business, let him fight? You think highly of him!"

Judging by the situation, Li Shimin wanted to come by himself.

At the same time, he also looked down on Li Yin. How could he do war?

But he was wrong.

Li Yin's strength was beyond his imagination.

As long as the time is right, he can even destroy a country by himself.

It's all possible.

The ministers did not speak any more.

Li Shimin asked again:
"Queen, what do you think?"

Civil and military officials were shocked.

Just now they thought that the two women were just coming to listen, but they didn't expect Li Shimin to ask them what they meant.

Of course, the meaning of the emperor asking the queen is for reference, and it may not be implemented in this way.

Therefore, everyone can only mutter silently in their hearts.

Your majesty is wise.

Empress Changsun was also a little puzzled.

How did Li Shimin allow himself to answer the question?

She never thought that Li Shimin was stimulated, because Li Yin had five women who helped him, but she had no one to help him.

It is also because Li Shimin did not raise the reason.

Now he does.

But it was a surprise.

At the same time, I was a little apprehensive.

But she still said: "I think that what Wei Guogong said is correct, fortifications are not easy to build!"

"What do you think, concubine?"

Li Shimin asked Concubine Yang again.

At this time, he knows how to listen to other people's opinions, but he still has his own ideas on how to do it.

"My concubine thought... thought..."

"Why?"

Concubine Yang faltered, which made Li Shi anxious.

This made the civil and military officials even more anxious.
