Chapter 338
At the end of the year, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace, study room.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Sikong asks to see you." In the study, Li Shimin was holding the new Wang Xizhi's "Le Yi Lun" to practice his pen, and the servants outside the palace came in and reported.

"Oh? The auxiliary machine is here, fast forward." Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had a close relationship, and even said to the outsider without waiting for the servant to inform him.

Changsun Wuji is the elder brother of Empress Changsun, the uncle of the court, and even met Li Shimin as a young man, different from others, he heard Li Shimin's summons in the study, and walked in as ordered.

When Changsun Wuji entered, Li Shimin asked: "The auxiliary machine suddenly entered the palace, is there something important?"

Changsun Wuji replied: "Report to Your Majesty, an urgent report from the northern line."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

It's not yet spring, and Mobei is still in the cold, and it's not easy to march. At this time, the enemies of the northern tribe dare to use weapons, and if they do, they will hurt themselves by eight hundred.

Changsun Wuji handed over the border urgent letter in his hand, and said to Li Shimin: "Zhang Gongjin, governor of Xiangzhou, ordered someone to send a letter to the Ministry of War. After the winter of this year, Xue Yantuo, the son of Zhenzhu Vija Khan, set up troops southward, leading more than [-] troops. , hunting Nuo Zhenshui, seems to have the intention of provocation."

Nuozhenshui, on the north side of Monan, is adjacent to the former Dingxiang City. It was originally the hometown of Turks. However, with the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were wiped out, and Monan was owned by the Tang Dynasty.

Monan has gone out of Hetao, the grassland is far away, and the Tang army does not have so many troops to garrison everywhere. Datang only deploys troops in Dingxiang City. In addition, Datang does not care much about these grasslands, so Datang is in Nuozhenshui There is no military force, so it can be regarded as an air defense place, but even so, Xue Yantuo sent troops south at will, which is considered an overstep.

Li Shimin quickly glanced at the urgent mail in one hand, and said to Changsun Wuji: "This year, Xue Yantuo has become more and more presumptuous."

Changsun Wuji said: "Since the sixth year of Zhenguan, when Xue Yantuo integrated the nine tribes of Tie Le and conquered the tribes of Adao and Yu, Xue Yantuo owned Mobei. Most of them are just thousands of riders going south sporadically, this time the movement is really bigger."

Li Shimin snorted softly, and said: "Xue Yantuo is testing me. If I ignore Dadu's move, I'm afraid Xue Yantuo's next step will be more than hunting in Nuozhenshui."

Changsun Wuji also said: "I also think that this case must not be made. If this case is made, I'm afraid that within three years, the north of Hetao, the whole Baidao River and the whole river will no longer be owned by our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin asked: "What do you mean by auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji said: "The minister's meaning is the same as Zhang Dudu's. No matter what Xue Yantuo's intention is in this matter, you should first send Zhang Dudu to patrol the border north to show my intention of promoting martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, and then issue an order to Xue Yantuo to hurt the barbarians. .”

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the world was dominated by martial arts, and most of the ministers in the court, whether civil or military, were tough in border affairs. Since Xue Yantuo dared to herd horses south, the Tang monarchs and ministers would never give in.

What Changsun Wuji said was exactly what Li Shimin meant. Li Shimin nodded and said: "The words of the auxiliary machine are deeply in my favor, so I will follow your words. Hit Shuxing to draw up an imperial edict, hurting the barbarians."

"No." Changsun Wuji immediately responded when he heard the words.

Li Shimin looked at the urgent mail in his hand, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is Ashina Simo?"

Changsun Wuji replied truthfully: "Ashi Nasimo is ordered by His Majesty, the former Tongjieli Department is currently living in Beikaizhou."

Li Shimin then asked: "How is Ashina Simo doing?"

Changsun Wuji also seemed to have guessed what Li Shimin meant, and replied: "Although Ashina Simo lives in Hetao, he seems not very used to the scenery of Hetao. He has written to the Ministry of War more than once, please transfer him to another place."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then nodded his head and said: "Since Ashina Simo will stay in Hetao not long ago, according to what he said, after the spring of next year, 20 of the former Jieli army and people will go north, cross the Yellow River, and live in Yinshan. North and South."

Changsun Wuji asked: "Does Your Majesty want to use the Turks as a barrier on the northern line of the Tang Dynasty to block Xue Yantuo?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, I ordered them to cross the Yellow River north and return to their hometown to enrich the land of Monan, deter Xue Yantuo, and strengthen our defense in the north of the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji listened to Li Shimin's words, and unconsciously revealed an unconcealable smile on his face, and said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, the Turks are Hu people, and it is not a good idea to live in Hetao for a long time. Let them cross the Yellow River north and guard the Yinshan Mountains." It's just right."

Although Changsun Wuji is an uncle of the state and met Li Shimin when he was young, he has always acted upright, even in private, he seldom loses his composure, let alone laughing like he is today.Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin played against the court affairs, Changsun Wuji laughed inexplicably when he said it, how could Li Shimin not notice it.

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson Wuji, and asked curiously: "I sent Ashina Simo to go north, why is there any auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji's behavior today was intentional, and this was also one of the purposes of Changsun Wuji's entry into the palace.

Seeing Li Shimin's question, Changsun Wuji pretended to be terrified at first, and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty's disrespect was not due to Ashina Simo's incident. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are not ordinary monarchs and ministers, how could they blame Changsun Wuji for such a trivial matter, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's okay, I see that the auxiliary machine looks happy, but there is something happy recently."

Changsun Wuji replied: "Your Majesty is wise, I guessed it right, and it is a happy event that the long house has a new addition to the minister's house recently. The minister suddenly thought about it, and then lost his manner for a while."

Changsun Wuji is Sikong, an important minister in the court, and ordinary things are naturally not worth making him lose his temper in front of the emperor. The Tianding he talks about is naturally his descendants, but Changsun Wuji is already forty years old, and his eldest wife is also He was about the same age and hadn't given birth for several years. He laughed before the king today, it should not be his wife who gave birth to a child, the most likely is that his eldest grandson Wuji gave birth to a grandson.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Oh? But the auxiliary machine has a grandson?"

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "It is the son of the dog, the eldest grandson Huan, who has a son, adding an eldest grandson to the minister's mansion."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The auxiliary machine is very lucky. It is only four years older than me, but it has to play with Sun Zhile. I am very jealous when I see it."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why do you envy me? The King of Wei is already engaged, and the King of Chu has also met the young lady of the warrior Yu's family. She will be hired soon. Your Majesty will also have a grandson in a year at most."

The words of Changsun Wuji reached Li Shimin's ears, Li Shimin showed surprise, and asked: "Warrior Yu's young lady, when did Ke'er mention the warrior's young lady?"

Changsun Wuji also looked surprised, and asked Li Shimin: "The warrior Xun returned to Beijing with his wife and daughter, and the noble concubine brought the king of Chu to pay a visit to Wufu. This matter has already been known to all women and children in Chang'an Fang. Does your majesty not know about it?"

"There is such a thing?" Li Shimin said in surprise.

Concubine Yang had mentioned to Li Shimin about the young lady of the Xiao family in Lanling, but he had never heard of this young lady of the Wu family, so it was hard to avoid being surprised to hear about it from the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, if Li Ke marries a wife, Li Shimin will still be happy after all, Li Shimin paused, then smiled at Chang Tu who was serving beside him: "Chang Tu, please send your orders quickly, and order the king of Chu and the noble concubine to meet you at the Ganlu Palace. "
