Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 843 Calling
Li Shimin felt that Gao Shilian was very disappointed.

His originally excited mood was suddenly discounted.

However, Gao Shilian has stood up like this, if he doesn't respond, it's a bit hard to justify.

Li Shimin glanced at Gao Shilian and asked, "Gao Aiqing, why do you think Qin Aiqing is guilty?"

At this time, Gao Shilian didn't seem to realize it and said: "My lord, it is true that Qin Tian assisted Li Jing in destroying the Turks, but don't forget, my lord, there are still tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses fleeing outside, but for these soldiers and horses, Qin Tian But Tian proposed not to pursue and kill them, isn’t this giving the Turks a chance to revive?”

Just now the messenger has already explained all the situation, including the fact that Qin Tian does not advocate hunting down and killing those Turkic tribes. Of course, the messenger just mentioned it briefly and did not describe too much.

At this time, Gao Shilian grasped this point and wanted to impeach Qin Tian.

Don't advocate chasing and killing those Turkic tribes, isn't this tantamount to leaving hidden dangers for Datang?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Qin Tian had ulterior motives.

This is what Gao Shilian meant.

After Gao Shilian said this, many people in the court also frowned slightly.

Originally, what a perfect thing, how did such a side issue arise?

However, although everyone felt that this was a bit wrong, Qin Tian was a person who had made great contributions after all, so everyone did not stand up to impeach Qin Tian like Gao Shilian did.

Here, Li Shimin frowned slightly.

Based on his understanding of Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian probably wanted to kill the enemy. Back then, he led the troops to hunt down Tuyuhun, but he never gave up after chasing Tuyuhun for days and nights.

Now that Jieli Khan has been captured alive, the Turks have been wiped out, and the Tang army still has a lot of troops, Qin Tian will definitely not let the remaining Turkic remnants act recklessly?

The situation was very strange, indeed beyond Li Shimin's expectation.

And it is impossible to say that Qin Tian has bad intentions, Li Shimin knows Qin Tian's character.

But now he doesn't know what's going on. Gao Shilian has such an impeachment, which makes him a little embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said: "I understand what Gao Aiqing means, but I believe in Qin Aiqing. He must have his reasons for doing so, so there is no need to mention this matter."

Li Shimin really believed in Qin Tian, ​​even if he didn't believe it, now that Qin Tian has made great contributions, he can't doubt the meritorious person, otherwise it will chill people's hearts.

If the heart is cold, who will help him do things in the future?
Gao Shilian returned without success, and everyone felt that Li Shimin was right.

If they do something to heroes, they will really despise Li Shimin.

Gao Shilian retreated angrily, and the morning court did not continue. Li Shimin waved his hand and retreated, and the officials left one after another.

However, when Changsun Wuji was about to leave, he was stopped by the palace servants.

"My lord, the Holy Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji smiled lightly, without any hesitation, he went directly to the imperial study.

He knew that Li Shimin was afraid that he might have doubts about what happened today, and wanted to talk to someone.

Sometimes, the authorities are confused.

After arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Turks have been destroyed, my Tang Dynasty is finally proud. This is all thanks to your Majesty."

After Changsun Wuji came, he first put a high hat on Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin knew that this was Changsun Wuji's flattery, he sounded much more at ease in his heart, as if he had less doubts about the court.

However, Li Shimin did not forget.

"Okay, the auxiliary machine doesn't need to say this in front of me. I called you here because I have something to ask you to give to the staff."

"But Qin Tian gave up on hunting down the Turkic remnants?"

Changsun Wuji brought it up, and Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, I don't understand this matter. According to the current situation, it shouldn't be difficult to kill those people, but why did Qin Tian give up?"

There are not many Turkic remnants, only tens of thousands of people. It is not difficult to destroy them.

Li Shimin didn't understand, but Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why did you forget that Jieli Khan was destroyed, but there are still Western Turks, who are close to the Silk Road and control a part of it?" In the Hexi Corridor, my Tang Dynasty now has soldiers and horses guarding Yumenguan, but there are only three thousand. In the future, there will be conflicts with the Western Turks, but the Western Turks are still stable now. If this is the case, there is no chance for my Tang Dynasty to destroy them. Western Turks?"

"It turned out to be like this." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin said oh, he naturally wanted to take action against the Western Turks a long time ago, but he didn't think of Qin Tian's matter.

Now, after being called out by Changsun Wuji, he immediately understood.

The Great Tang eradicated the Turks, and those Turkic tribes had no place to stand on the grasslands, so they could only go to the territory of the Western Turks. It was just that such a force suddenly appeared, would the tribes of the Western Turks be willing?

There will inevitably be some fighting and contention between the two sides.

In the past, West Turkic was a calm river, but after the fleeing Turkic tribes entered, it would definitely cause some ripples.

Western Turks, I'm afraid there will be a good show to be staged.

After Li Shimin figured this out, he burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, Qin Aiqing did a good job, not bad, not bad."

Seeing that Li Shimin understood, Changsun Wuji also showed a slight smile, but in his heart, he was thinking that when Qin Tian came back, he had to tell Qin Tian about this matter.

I have helped him a lot.

After the two ministers said this for a while, Changsun Wuji withdrew.

Chang'an is still hot, but the afternoon is a little quiet, even the cicadas seem to have stopped.

Here in Qinhou's mansion, when the ninth princess was enjoying the shade, his maid hurried over.

"His Royal Highness, good news, good news."

"What good news?"

"Just now there is news that Lord Hou has wiped out the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive, and will return to Beijing soon."

Hearing that Qin Tian destroyed the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive, the Ninth Princess immediately sat up. Although he knew that Li Jing and others were the main contributors, his own husband must also have a lot of credit.

However, the Ninth Princess's excitement was not due to her credit. As a princess, she really didn't take these credits seriously. What she was excited about was that Qin Tian was finally coming back.

It has been almost a year since Luo Yi attacked Youzhou last year. How is it possible to say that he doesn't miss Qin Tian in the empty room he has been guarding for a year?

Not only did she miss him, but Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang must also miss him to death.

"Okay, let people keep an eye on their itinerary. After Lord Hou returns to Chang'an, report it immediately."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged."
