Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 728 The Truth
Cheng Yaojin left.

When leaving, the whole person was very tangled and uncomfortable.

And just after he left Li Ji's mansion, Li Ji suddenly had a feeling of having succeeded in his evil intentions, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The matter of Li Shimin and Qin Tian is naturally a secret, but it is not really a secret that cannot be told to other people.

But after he said that, Cheng Yaojin might have a very difficult day.

Thinking that he could also make Cheng Yaojin feel bad, he felt particularly refreshed.

Of course, this was done to prevent Cheng Yaojin from asking everywhere. In this case, if the matter was leaked, it would affect Qin Tian and Li Shimin's plan to some extent. Therefore, it is necessary to use this method to stop Cheng Yaojin's mouth.

The first day of the third year of Zhenguan passed like this.

The lively people are still lively, and the worried people are still worried.

But the morning court, which was supposed to start in a few days, started ahead of schedule on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

However, no one raised any objections to this matter, because Li Shimin was assassinated. This is a major event, and life and death can be ignored, let alone going to court in advance.

Early in the morning, the weather is extremely cold.

The ministers stood in the hall, obviously feeling the oppressive atmosphere.

And Li Yuanjing, who was standing in the crowd, tried hard to restrain himself and calm himself down as much as possible, but no matter how he restrained himself, the oppressive atmosphere still made him very uneasy, and his restless legs would tremble.

Li Shimin glanced at the officials, and finally turned his gaze to Qin Tian, ​​and asked, "Qin Aiqing, you investigated for a whole day yesterday, did you find anything out of that assassin?"

"My lord, the assassin has confessed."

"Oh, who wants my life?"

"My lord, it's Luo Yi, the king of Yan. The king of Yan colluded with the Turks before and allowed the Turks to directly enter the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty. This is how the Weishui alliance came into being. But he was always restless and worried, so he photographed the assassins entering the capital. Assassinate the Holy One."

Hearing that the assassin was sent by Luo Yi, many people in the court didn't feel anything wrong, they thought it was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, because if it wasn't for Luo Yi's connivance, how could the Turks attack Jingzhou?

It made perfect sense for him to send someone to assassinate Li Shimin.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help talking, and Li Yuanjing, who was in the crowd, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

From the night of the New Year's Eve, he has been very uneasy. Until this time, the big stone weighing on his heart was finally relieved. It turned out that this matter had nothing to do with him. I was really worried for two days. .

"Dear dears, Luo Yi colluded with the Turks and sent people to assassinate me, so what should I do in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin looked at the officials and asked, Li Ji stood in front, and immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, Luo Yi is like a traitor to my Tang Dynasty when he treats me like this, and he even sent someone to assassinate the Holy Majesty. Attack Youzhou and destroy Luo Yi."

After Li Ji stood up, Changsun Wuji also stood up: "Your Majesty, I think what the British public said is very reasonable. Luo Yi guarding Youzhou should have stopped the Turks. Who would have thought that he would collude with the Turks? Wouldn't it be easy to attack Chang'an City once going south, Luo Yi is a traitor."

Many people also stood up one after another, wanting to crusade against Luo Yi, but Qin Shubao in the crowd had an ugly expression on his face. Qin Shubao was his uncle, who had supported and helped him back then.

Now, when the imperial court wanted to attack Luo Yi, he was naturally a little unwilling and reluctant, but from the overall situation of the imperial court, Luo Yi had done something traitorous, so he had to attack him.

It's hard to do it with a person like him caught in it.

The ministers were still discussing, Li Shimin nodded: "My loves are right, if Youzhou is still guarded by Luo Yi, then the Turkic attack on our Tang Dynasty will be like entering the land of no one. How can this be possible? Ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to lead the army to destroy Luo Yi and take back Youzhou?"

Just now, many people were muttering non-stop, but after Li Shimin asked this question, everyone became quiet again.

Without him, although Luo Yi colluded with the Turks, it was by no means an easy task to attack Youzhou. First, the land of Youzhou was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was not easy to fight. People are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war. They also have many strong soldiers and fierce generals. All these make them uncertain that they can capture Youzhou.

If you are not sure, and you lose after going there, and you lose the battle, then for people like them, the gain outweighs the loss.

Many people are still counting on being able to become marquises and worship generals, but if they lose a battle, it will be difficult to achieve this.

The reason why some people say that Li Guang is difficult to seal is not because Li Guang always loses battles.

In fact, these people admire Cheng Yaojin very much. He is not very capable and likes to brag, but he is lucky and often wins battles, so he was named Duke early.

This is a good thing, from where to envy?
No one is willing to stand up and take on this matter. Qin Tian stood below and did not express his opinion. This matter is difficult to handle. Luo Yi has [-] Luo family troops in Youzhou. Easier said than done?
Therefore, if things are difficult, Qin Tian also wants to avoid them.

"Your Majesty, this matter..." At this moment, Gao Shilian suddenly stood up. As soon as Qin Tian saw him standing up, he felt that something was wrong. This person had tricked him not once or twice.

So, when Gao Shilian stood up, Qin Tian suddenly said: "Master Gao, do you want to lead the army to attack Youzhou?"

Qin Tian suddenly preempted the attack, Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to give Qin Tian this hot potato, but he never thought that this would be the case.

However, just Qin Tian's words are not enough to make him do anything.

"No, no, I, Gao Shilian, are old, and Luo Yi's opponent is there, but you, Young Master Qin, are young and strong, and it is a good time to make achievements. It is a perfect time for you to do this."

After Gao Shilian said this, many people in the court ordered them to stand up.

"It's really appropriate for Lord Qin Xiaohou to do this."

"Yes, Lord Qin Xiaohou has this ability, so it's very appropriate to do it."

"That's right, that's right..."

Many people in the court supported Qin Tian to lead the army to crusade against Luo Yi. Here Qin Tian scolded Gao Shilian a hundred times, and then said: "I am a junior, how can I take on this important task?"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Li Shimin. He helped Li Shimin solve this matter. He had already helped Li Shimin a lot. If Li Shimin had any conscience, he probably wouldn't let him lead the army to attack Luo Yi. When it was time to go to court, there was no hard bone to be dealt with.
