Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 237 Questioning
Qin Tian and Princess Nine stopped by.

When going back, he happened to meet Cheng Yaojin who came to look for Qin Tian.

This made the three of them very embarrassed, and naturally remembered what happened on the kang that day.

Princess Nine's cheeks flushed slightly, she raised her whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, and then quickly ran to the front.

Qin Tian smiled wryly, but Cheng Yaojin pulled him off.

"You kid is getting bolder and bolder. How dare you take the princess away all night? Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"

Cheng Yaojin was a bit earnest, so Luo Yi was not easy to offend. At the beginning, Emperor Sui Yang couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only appease him, and now Datang can only appease him.

If Qin Tian dared to pick on his daughter-in-law, if he got angry, I'm afraid this Tang Dynasty would be unstable again.

Qin Tian had a look of grievance.

"Lu Guogong, I really have nothing to do with Your Highness the Princess. I went hunting yesterday and Her Highness was captured by an assassin from Tuyuhun. We managed to save our lives."

"Tuyuhun assassin?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the ninth princess to be kidnapped by the Tuyuhun assassin.

"Is this true?"

"Of course it is true. There are still the corpses of those assassins in the ruined temple."

Cheng Yaojin's expression moved slightly, as if he realized something, so he stopped talking to Qin Tian and rode away directly.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin like this, Qin Tian became more and more suspicious.

But now he can't control so much, let's go home first.

However, as soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they saw Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang standing one on the left and the other on the right. Tang Rong's expression turned pale with coldness.

Qin Tian sighed softly in his heart, why did everyone misunderstand him and the Ninth Princess?

I have to explain it again.

"You two ladies, in fact, the matter is like this..."

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuan revealed that the Ninth Princess was kidnapped by the Tuyuhun assassin.

"My dear friends, Tuyuhun dared to kidnap my Princess Datang. According to your words, what should I do in the Tang Dynasty?"

As soon as Li Yuan asked, an official stood up: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun dared to send people to kidnap my Princess Datang. In my opinion, I must not let them go."

"That's right, we should send troops to teach Tuyuhun a lesson so that they can remember."

"I also feel that we should send troops..."

The officials of Tang Dynasty are very bloody, the princess was bullied by others, so she can't just let it go.

Therefore, many people advocate sending troops.

Li Shimin stood in the crowd, but didn't say a word, just watched these officials speak.

And just when these officials said the same thing, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs stood up and said: "My lord, we don't have enough food and grass in the Tang Dynasty now, so it is not suitable to send troops. This matter should be discussed in the long run."

If troops are sent, the household department will be under great pressure, so the household department does not really want to send troops to fight.

After the Ministry of Household Affairs told the situation, the voice in the court advocating sending troops became weaker. Li Yuan frowned slightly and said: "But if you don't send troops, I will put the face of Datang there. If you don't teach them this time, then the other The country sees me as a bully, so I'm afraid they will come to harass me from time to time, right?"

After all, Li Yuan is the emperor who came out of the war, and he has blood.

After he finished speaking, Pei Ji walked out from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has to be resolved. It is enough to send the envoys to Tuyuhun and ask them why they kidnapped me, Princess Datang. Tang's face is also saved, and when I, Datang, accumulates strength, I will defeat Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, so that they will never dare to be enemies with me from now on."

Even a temporary retreat is only for the opportunity and strength to destroy you in the future. Datang has always been like this. Sometimes they don't care about temporary gains and losses, as long as they can succeed in the end.

Pei Ji's words were quickly approved by the officials, and Li Yuan also felt that this move was feasible, so he hired an official to act as an envoy to question Tuyuhun.
-
After the morning court ended, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Tang's envoys questioned Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun would be angered, and Tuyuhun was looking for an opportunity to attack Qingzhou at this time, which just gave them an excuse.

As long as Tuyuhun goes to war with Datang, then Li Shimin will have a place to use his skills.

To fight a war, in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for him, Li Shimin, who else has this ability?
And as long as there is a war, Yu Chigong, Qin Shubao and the others will be able to gather together again. At that time, he will be one step closer to implementing his plan.

All he needs to do now is wait for the war between the two countries to start.

Although it is cruel to do this by yourself, these situations are inevitable for those who do great things.

Li Shimin left the palace and returned to his residence, but Li Jiancheng didn't take it seriously at the East Palace.

It doesn't matter whether it is fighting or not, as long as he is still the prince now.

He just wanted to make his crown prince more secure.

However, not long after Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, Song Gongqing hurried over.

"His Royal Highness, something is wrong."

Li Jiancheng was puzzled and asked, "Why is something bad?"

"My Tang Dynasty is going to question Tuyuhun, I'm afraid a war will start."

Li Jiancheng curled his lips: "Get up right away, I, Tang, are still afraid that Tuyuhun won't succeed?"

Song Gongqing said: "His Royal Highness is confused. If there is a real war, how can we resist the Tuyuhun people?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"His Royal Highness, as long as the war breaks out, there will be a very high chance that His Majesty will use His Royal Highness King Qin and his generals. At that time, His Highness King Qin will once again control the military power. Can you still sit in the position of Prince?"

Song Gongqing's words were like thunder, and Li Jiancheng stood up from the kang immediately: "This...how can this be done, the prince will enter the palace right now, and persuade father to take back his order."

"It's late, the envoy has already set off, and King Qin will definitely protect him secretly so that he can reach Tuyuhun safely. Moreover, the matter of kidnapping the princess, the Holy Majesty will not let it go."

"This... this... what should I do, Mr. Song, what should the crown prince do?" Li Jiancheng was a little anxious, he absolutely couldn't let Li Shimin take power.

Song Gongqing pondered for a moment, and said: "His Royal Highness, if a war really breaks out, the Holy One is afraid of you, and will definitely not let you lead the army, but you can not lead the army, but the person who leads the army must not be the King of Qin. Otherwise, it would be very bad for us.”

"Can't be Li Shimin's person?"

"That's right, it doesn't matter if it's not ours, but it definitely can't be Li Shimin's. As long as it's not Li Shimin's, His Royal Highness still has hope."

Li Jiancheng nodded, he already understood Song Gongqing's meaning.

"Don't worry, even if the prince can't lead the army, he will never let Li Shimin or his people lead the army." Regarding this point, Li Jiancheng is still very confident.

However, Song Gongqing sighed softly.
