The first free king of Tang Dynasty

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly reacted.

That's right, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Grand Court Meeting.

Hundreds of officials go to the court, and the officials enter the ceremony.

As long as they are above the ninth rank, the capital officials must go to court, and the local state capitals are the envoys sent to Beijing to participate in the meeting.

There are even candidates from Guozijian and local prefectures and counties participating in the imperial examination of the Ministry of Rites, as well as envoys from surrounding foreign countries entering the court.

And this kid is now the county magistrate of the founding country. If he had no official position in normal times, he would naturally not have to go to court.

But now, where is there no reason to go to court?

In other words, this kid wants to enter the palace tomorrow!
"Why, you are a Zhongsan doctor, you have to take care of me tomorrow, I haven't entered the palace yet, don't let others laugh at me, and, tell me... can I see Li Er?"

Immediately afterwards, Tang Sufan patted Li Shimin's shoulder again, as if you were the elder brother and I was the younger brother.

Take, take your grandma for a leg.

I will still be sitting in the Tai Chi Hall tomorrow, how can I take you?

or……

Think of a way to keep this kid from going?After the Shangyuan Festival is over, I plan to reveal my identity.

But if you don't go, the gentry family will naturally have thousands of reasons to blame this kid, won't the trouble be my fault then?
But is it time for a showdown?At this time, Li Shimin hesitated instead.

In the end, Li Shimin said a few words in a vague way, and immediately became alert and his face straightened.

"By the way, did the Royal Clothes Department deliver your boy's seal to you?"

"Certificate? Imperial uniform? What is that?"

Tang Sufan's expression darkened.

It turns out that this kid doesn't know anything, so it's easy... easy to explain.

Only then did Li Shimin speak unhurriedly with his chest out.

"Although your son is now a Marquis, you will naturally have to pass the examination and approval of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and then the Ministry of Household Affairs will record it, and the Ministry of Rites will then make a seal of honor. You were just considered a Marquis. Now you don't even have a seal of honor. How to enter the palace?"

Immediately, Li Shimin said as if I was doing my best for you: "It's a good thing that someone stopped you. If you go tomorrow, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"It just so happens that you are tired and lazy. Tomorrow, I will save a lot of effort."

This dog emperor really can't control him.

Tang Sufan complained speechlessly in his heart.

Li Shimin had already got into the carriage directly, bringing a lot of good things with him.

slip away...

Seeing Li Shimin's carriage hurrying away, Tang Sufan's mouth twitched.

Then he turned his head and glanced directly at the fence blocked by the shack at the outer corner of the alley.

It was originally a small fence, but just now a person was hidden.

When the emperor went on tour, he naturally had hidden guards.

Now that Tang Sufan's body mechanism has changed greatly, he doesn't know where, not only that, but Lao Li, the dog emperor, must have buried some people around him.

Okay, just treat it as a free bodyguard, that's fine.

So I walked back to the yard with lazy steps~

……

The second day is the new year.

Zhenguan three years.

The north wind swept across the land, and Chang'an was covered with snow.

Today's snow, reflected in the sun that finally showed its birth, is like auspicious snow.

In today's imperial city, hundreds of officials come to court, and foreign countries come to offer sacrifices.

Under the strict etiquette system, Taiji Hall held the first court meeting of the year, the Great Court Meeting of Shangyuan.

But just today, the military intelligence came to report.

The Turks invaded the border, and an army of [-] was approaching the northwest border, Suizhou.

The Tang emperor was furious at the court, and the foreign envoys who came to the court were so frightened that they were silent.

It seems that the two countries are about to go to war.

Those of us small states and small countries should shut up quickly, and return to our lives as soon as we go back.

Up, Tang Huang immediately reported
It is said that Xieli is inhumane, tore up the covenant, violated our border, and the people and gods are all angry!

Immediately announced to the world directly, the Tang Dynasty directly sent the heavenly army to fight against Mobei, crusade against Jieli, and defend our prestige of the Tang Dynasty!

It can be said to be logical and reasonable.

So, after the Great Dynasty will end.

Naturally, there were many more people holding small meetings in Chengqing Palace.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, etc. were all there.

It was supposed to be a good first day of the new year, but when this happened, all the giants of the Tang Dynasty had to work overtime.

As for Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, his positive expression was relaxed at the moment, and the corners of his mouth even rose for a moment.

Where is the look of the wrathful face just now.

After waiting for you for so long, it's finally here.

Let me explain in advance, but now he, Jieli, wants to fight, not me, Li Shimin.

Sending troops now, no matter whether it is facing inward or outward, is a matter of course and a matter of course.

This is what Li Shimin has always wanted, the so-called wish come true.

So after the court, he quickly called a group of his confidants Humerus, and hurriedly came to discuss the military situation.

"Your Majesty, this time, Xieli didn't go directly to Jingzhou to defeat martial arts, and went to the Weihe River again. Instead, he went to Suizhou on the northwest border. There must be something mysterious~"

Fang Xuanling tugged at his beard, looked at the marching map in front of everyone, frowned and said deeply.

Li Shimin also slowly frowned, this Jieli gave him a reason to send troops, which is naturally good.

But the most important thing right now is the military situation in Suizhou, so we should wait for the battle.

Back then, Su Fan's strategy of Shuguan Qingye, which had already shown the enemy's weakness, also worked impressively.

All the ministers looked at the marching map in front of them, thinking deeply.

If the Turks wanted to attack Chang'an, the best route would be to take Jingzhou as the leader, go straight to martial arts, go down the Weihe River from Gyeonggi Province, and attack Chang'an directly.

But this time, I went to Suizhou in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention farther away from Chang'an, it seemed like a half-circle.

This Jieli Khan is good at using intrigues. In the ninth year of Wude, he went straight to Chang'an with a thunderous force and forced Li Shimin to form the Weishui alliance.

But now the military situation, the monarch and the ministers have to think twice.

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji had a sense of judgment in his heart, so he spoke just now.

"Your Majesty, does this Jieli... want to merge gradually, fight a long-lasting battle, and consume the power of Tang Dynasty? Besides, this Suizhou is a place in the northwestern border. I really can't figure out why I invaded Suizhou. !"

So the important ministers were surprised and suspicious again, and they talked a lot.

But at this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, give my old Cheng [-] soldiers and let me go meet him!"

A bunch of cowards, isn't it over?

"Don't be in a hurry, the battle is naturally fought by you, but how to fight it will depend on the time!"

Li Shimin got up slowly, turned around and asked Li Jing, "Pharmacist, what do you think?"

Afterwards, everyone looked at Li Jing, the current military god of the Tang Dynasty, with piercing eyes.

At this time, Li Jing, who had been silent all this time, just opened his mouth, stood up and bowed slightly, and then walked to Jun Yutu.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Turk is trying to encircle me!"

The ministers echoed: "Siege with dots?!"

Li Jing's words did confirm what some people thought, but at first they were not too sure and dared not speak out.

"Oh? Tell me, Aiqing!"

"The reason why the Turks did not adopt the previous line of Jingzhou martial arts, but instead attacked Suizhou, there is a great mystery in it, and the defense of Suizhou's border is weak, and there are only 7000 people in the city. Now the Turkic army of [-] is attacking Suizhou. The state has not been conquered for a day, so there is something strange about it!"

"Could it be that what Li Shuai meant... This Turkic wanted to wait for the support of our other troops in the Tang Dynasty, and the nearest army was Jingde who guarded Jingzhou? This Jieli wanted to wait for the battle and reduce the defense of Jingzhou , and then two ways down, and then from

Jingzhou, go straight to Chang'an? "

At this time, Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.

This morning Li Jing was conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, commanding 200,000 soldiers and horses to compete in Mobei.

The Turks surrounded and attacked slowly, a frontier land where [-] troops could not attack for a long time, Qin Qiong naturally discovered this a long time ago.

That's 30,000 people, a gap of more than five times, even if it is defending the city.

But with the power of the Turks, if they really wanted to attack, what they received this morning was not the Turkic invasion, but the military report of the fall of Suizhou.
