Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 32

back to the palace.

And on the way back to the palace.

The news that Li Jianbai "slept" his eldest grandson Youqing has already spread.

The person who released this news was naturally the eunuch who had come to invite Changsun Wuji to discuss the military plan.

The internal eunuch reported the news immediately.

His Majesty, King Tang of the Imperial Study, knew all of this right away.

"what!!"

When Tang Wang heard the news, he was surprised, happy, and angry!
"Hmph, he really is my good son, this rebellious son is really getting more and more out of tune and unreliable in doing things!!"

The sudden news made King Tang wonder how to evaluate his son.

However, King Tang didn't take this matter to heart, instead he thought it was a good thing.

The daughter of the eldest grandson's lineage, the eldest grandson Youqing has a relationship with the sixth son, which means that in the future, not only will she be the one to watch over this kid.

The eldest grandson's lineage will also keep a close eye on Nizi!

But what really makes King Tang a headache now is the military situation on the border of Tang State!

The five Hu tribes have been completely integrated, forming a whole of their own, and they are united to the outside world, and now they have caused tremendous pressure on the border of Tang State.

The Xiongnu Dynasty also stared at Tang.

A pack of wolves came around, and the surrounding borders of the Tang Kingdom were not at peace.

This is still the second thing. Within the Tang Kingdom, several princes began to compete in secret, and rose to fight for power and profit on the surface.

It seems that he no longer takes himself, the king of Tang, seriously.

However, in recent years, King Tang also intends to let his sons compete against each other. As long as they each rely on their own abilities, whoever can be better will own his position.

Because of this, Tang Guo fell into internal friction.

It is precisely because of this that the frontiers are also more unstable. Neighboring countries, large and small, have also seen this clearly within the Tang State, so they are unscrupulous.

And now.

Tang was unstable at home and abroad, and wars broke out frequently, and the king of Tang was depressed and irritable, especially at this time.

The Xiongnu Dynasty took advantage of the fire to loot.

Yesterday, the Huns sent envoys to Chang'an City.

It is said that the two countries form an alliance, but in fact they are here to stab Tang Guo!

The Xiongnu mission came to Chang'an, under the banner of an alliance, to marry the two countries and marry the nine princesses of the Tang Dynasty.

And who is the nine princesses?

She is the daughter of King Tang and Empress Changsun, the treasure of King Tang and the heart of his eldest grandson.

Obviously this is maliciously making things difficult, marrying the nine princesses, saying it is an alliance, but the lion opened his mouth wide, and he opened his mouth to see ten thousand war horses, ten thousand taels of gold and silver!
Tang is now consumed at home and abroad, and is on the brink of war.

The Xiongnu Dynasty deliberately did this, wanting to hunt Tang's military supplies, treasury gold and silver from it!
Obviously, his heart can be punished!

However, King Tang couldn't refuse directly!

After all, the power of the Xiongnu Dynasty was not weaker than that of the Wuhu Kingdom, or even superior, and it had always been a big worry for the Tang Dynasty!

If you refuse directly, it is obvious that you will not give the Xiongnu dynasty face, and it is very likely that the two countries will become hostile, or even war.

Many people can see that now, both the Xiongnu Dynasty and the Wuhu Kingdom are provoking Tang's bottom line.

They are all waiting for Tang Guo to make a mistake, and the famous master will go to war!
In the imperial study.

The lights were bright, and the seven or eight ministers in the room were silent, and the ministers bowed their heads in thought.

On the dragon chair in the room, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty frowned several times, and his face was abnormally ugly. It was obvious that the Tang Kingdom had fallen into a stalemate.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. The Xiongnu and Wuhu have invaded the border of our Tang country several times in the north, and now they are deceiving people too much!" A minister who was in charge of the battle stepped forward to ask for a fight.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the call for war from the northern soldiers is becoming more and more fierce. If there is no further expression and patience, the Xiongnu and Wuhu will become more arrogant, and it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers guarding the frontier."

"No, no, once the war breaks out, it will be out of control, and tens of thousands of people will be displaced. What's more, there are signs that the neighboring countries are joining forces. Once the war starts, our Tang Dynasty will suffer from the enemy."

Many people are aware of this.

The Xiongnu, the Wuhu, the barbarians, and the remnants of the previous dynasty...

Once a war breaks out, Tang's current situation will be difficult to deal with.

"Hmph, if we keep forbearing and appease and raise traitors, I'm afraid it will make the Wuhu Kingdom go too far. I, my son of the Tang Dynasty, is brave and good at fighting. How can I be afraid of several tribes joining forces?"

"..."

Some people advocate war, while others advocate peace.

The aged Tang Wang was weak-willed, less decisive, and a little suspicious.

Once the war starts, the military power will be dispersed, and the power of the central court will be greatly weakened. At that time, his princes will definitely fight for power.

The seven or eight ministers, veterans, and military generals in the imperial study are all concerned about the situation on the border of the Tang Kingdom, and the stability of the Tang Kingdom.

But Tang Wang was a little suspicious, afraid that he would not be able to control all parties and lose his balance!

in the room.

The arguments among the ministers were extremely fierce. No one would give in if you said something to each other. The main battle and the main peace, there will be no decision for a while.

Hesitation flashed in Tang Wang's eyes on the dragon chair. It is really not an easy decision to send troops or not.

"Is Master Changsun here?" Just as he was hesitating, King Tang shouted and interrupted the quarrel of the crowd, wanting to hear Changsun Wuji's thoughts.

Changsun Wuji, as a military commander, is also a civil servant.

He can fight when he is on a horse, and he can be safe when he is off a horse. He has always been one of the most important ministers of the Tang State, and he is Wuyou's elder brother. The King of Tang trusts him very much.

"Return to Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is on his way."

Soon.

The eldest grandson Wuji is here, and the sixth prince, Li Jianbai, is also here.

"I have seen the father and the ministers."

"His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji and Li Jianbai each greeted the people in the imperial study and saluted.

"Hmph!" King Tang glanced at his son, the sixth son, and snorted coldly, but now that he was discussing state affairs, he did not scold Li Jianbai.

And Li Jianbai shrugged indifferently.

"Master Changsun, Your Majesty is waiting for you." A minister urged him when he saw Changsun Wuji coming.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. It's because I have a family matter, so the delay." Changsun Wuji deliberately looked at Li Jianbai when he was speaking.

Obviously, this is a secret accusation against Li Jianbai.

Tang Wang also knew the situation, took a deep breath, and said: "It's okay, just come, Ai Qing should know that the matter is urgent."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said: "I probably know that the borders of the Tang Kingdom have been repeatedly invaded by the Huns and the Huns, and now the Huns are even using the pretext of marriage to humiliate the Tang Kingdom and rob our country. Crack it, my country of Tang must be weaker, and other small countries will join the camp of Wuhu and Xiongnu at that time, thinking that my country of Tang is easy to bully and shameful!"

"Aiqing sees it clearly. Now, the most urgent task is how to dispatch the missions of the Hun Dynasty?" King Tang asked.

But Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, and said: "I haven't found a way to solve the matter of the Xiongnu mission for a while, but I have a candidate, and I think this person will be able to solve it easily."

"Who?" Tang Wang hurriedly asked.

Changsun Wuji approached Li Jianbai slightly, and pushed Li Jianbai to let him take a step forward.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is extremely intelligent, quick-witted and quick-witted. There must be no problem breaking the Xiongnu mission."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji gave Li Jianbai a slap in the face!

"Ok?"

King Tang and seven or eight ministers in the room looked at Li Jianbai at the same time.

And the boy in white bowed his head and cursed secretly: Damn it!
