Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 161 Qin Wang Ce Leaked, Turkic Envoy
The banquet lasted for two hours before the officials slowly retreated. Li Fangchen yawned and was dragged to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Li Shimin.

"Tell me, what are your plans?"

Looking at Li Fangchen, Li Shimin couldn't help asking.

Li Fangchen looked around for a while, and then said: "Father, do you still remember my son's proposal three years ago?"

"Which one are you talking about?" It's no wonder that Li Shimin couldn't think of it. The main reason is that this brat has too many ideas, and all of them are really big strategies that benefit the country and the people. Li Shimin himself can't remember clearly. How much did you contribute.

Um?Could it be that this kid is here to ask for a favor?

That's not right, if he is really utilitarian, why should he show it now.

The questioning eyes were on Li Fangchen, which made Li Fangchen feel a little uncomfortable.

"Father, what I want to talk about is artillery!"

gun?
Only then did Li Shimin understand, and then he said with a smile: "Indeed, the initial results have been achieved."

"Ah?" Li Fangchen said in surprise, "But."

"Why did someone complain to this thing before that it hurt the harmony of heaven?"

Li Shimin, who had expected the question in Li Fangchen's mind, couldn't help laughing out loud, "Yu'er, you are still thinking too simply. This thing destroyed the entire workshop as soon as it was born. How could I abandon such a magical weapon?" Don't you need it?"

Li Fangchen cupped his hands and sighed, "My son thought that so far, there is still no improvement in artillery, and my son is planning to develop it himself."

Li Shimin slapped him after he finished speaking, "If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, it's better to leave this kind of matter to others. You are the King of Qin, why join in the fun?"

Li Fangchen scratched his nose, he couldn't argue with Li Shimin about this kind of matter, otherwise the other party would have a lot of reasons for him.

"I don't understand, this thing has been researched, why didn't it be seen in the anti-rebel army?"

Li Shimin's smile was a bit elusive, "Yu'er, don't you really know?"

Li Fangchen subconsciously shook his head, how do you guess this matter?
"When your King Qin's mansion is ready with troops and horses, I will hand over this artillery workshop to you, how about it?"

Li Fangchen originally planned to agree, but then he thought about it, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, does the emperor intend to test himself?
Eyes flicked left and right, brain quick thinking, said: "No need, I still have a lot of things to do!"

"many things?"

"Ha, my son is retiring, father, please rest early."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away, making Li Shimin dumbfounded, Li Fangchen was so clever that he didn't use the right place, thinking too far away.

If I really want to test you, why should I tell you these things?

It was night, and he couldn't leave the palace, so Li Fangchen could only go to the West Palace to stay for one night. It was a place he was familiar with, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Early the next morning, they were summoned to have dinner together at Kunning Palace.

The eldest grandson Wugou's brows were a little more white, which made Li Fangchen feel a little distressed.

"Mom, you are"

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile: "Why are you still acting like a child? Is it possible that I, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, will cry a lot when I see my mother?"

Li Fangchen shook his head again and again, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my mother."

"Just your sweet mouth!"

After glancing at Li Fangchen, the eldest grandson Wugou slowly got up and arranged for the maid to prepare some pastries.

King Qin is delicious, and the most important thing to lose is his mouth. The eldest grandson Wugou loves his own children, so every time Li Fangchen goes to Kunning Palace, he will ask people to prepare some snacks for him.

Li Fangchen, who was planning to bid farewell to his eldest grandson Wugou, left the palace, suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

So in Kunning Palace, he chatted with his eldest grandson Wugou all the time, making her happy.

Today's morning court is a bit different. Because Qin Wang Li Fangchen did not go to court, he didn't know that an envoy from Turkic was holding him accountable.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, Turkic, have always been on good terms with you. Why do you plan on me, Turkic?"

Li Shimin's gloomy face was about to drip, and some bastard actually passed Qin Wang's policy to Turkic.

You know, it records Li Fangchen's calculations against the Turks and Goguryeo, and the whole process of how to lure the other party into the trap step by step.

If you don't read Qin Wangce, you are not worthy of being an official.This sentence has almost become the mantra of the entire Chang'an officials, and Qin Wangce has recorded a copy in everyone's hands.

At first, Li Shimin felt that this was conducive to the growth of officials, so he didn't stop it much, and even encouraged him in private.

On the civil servant's side, Changsun Wuji stepped out, looked at the Turkic envoy, and asked, "What does the envoy mean? We, the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic are not always friendly?"

"Hmph, my lord, why are you pretending to be ignorant? His Royal Highness King Qin of your country is really disgusting!"

"presumptuous!"

Several people stood up in the rank of generals in an instant, "You dare to humiliate me, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to start a war?"

Even if the Turkic envoys were full of anger, the Tang and Turkic caravans had reached three to four hundred every year, and each tribe maintained a friendly relationship with the caravans.

Some people dared to rob caravans before, but one time after the robbed caravan returned to the Tang Dynasty, no one went to the tribe where the road was located to trade. Turkic people discovered that recklessness could not solve any problems.

In previous years, when the grasslands could not support the population, Khan easily mobilized warriors from various tribes to form an army and invade the Tang Dynasty.

But since they did business with Datang, they found that they could get the food they wanted without fighting.

So the Turkic Khan was a disaster, and if he wanted to recruit troops, he had to get the consent of the patriarchs of each tribe.

People don't want to fight, why do you recruit, once?twice?

When the dissatisfaction reaches an upper limit, what is waiting for the Turks will fall apart overnight.

Li Fangchen himself did not expect this result.

All at the moment Qin Wangce appeared in front of Turkic Khan Jieli, he immediately sent envoys to Datang.

Even if he couldn't really find an excuse to kill King Qin, he still had to give Datang a warning.

"Our Turkic Khan has already started recruiting warriors from various tribes. Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Great Tang, do you want to fight?"

Obviously some swollen faces to support the fat man, but it’s okay not to do this. After all, this is the task that Khan personally explained.

Mrs. Khan, Princess Yicheng's plan was to use the excuse of war to obstruct Datang. It is best to isolate King Qin and even kill him, so as to buy time for Turks.

By this time next year, the Turks will be reorganized internally, and whether to go to war or not will be nothing more than a word from Jieli Khan.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, and the ministers began to whisper.

Go to war?
The Turks were not ready, and neither was the Tang Dynasty, but even so, they couldn't lose their momentum.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Since Jieli wants to start a war, I will accompany you naturally. Messenger, you can get out of Tang Dynasty."

The words were not speculative, so I turned my head and asked Yu'er, there are still too few cannons in Datang, otherwise Li Shimin wouldn't hide them, if there were a hundred, no, fifty , he dared to use the Turkic army to bombard Goguryeo!
