Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 1 The objection is invalid, I want to sign the Weishui Covenant!

"You bastard Turk! Such harsh conditions, but also to send a prince to them, they! Do they really think that there is no one in my Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, I implore you to send me Cheng Yaojin's two thousand troops. I will go out of the city to slaughter these Turks! Let them know that this is my territory of the Tang Dynasty, not their shabby grasslands! When you come, you have to fight!"

"Don't be impulsive when you want gold. At present, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops have arrived at the banks of the Weishui River. How can you break the siege with two thousand soldiers? I'm afraid you won't even be able to hear the sound after you send them out to fight."

"Hmph! Then you can't agree to Turkic conditions. My old Cheng has been fighting for so many years, and I have never been so angry!"

"......."

A group of civil servants and generals discussed the withdrawal conditions given by the Turkic Khan in front of the Weishui River.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of haze, and he sat quietly in the main seat.

But this is only superficial calm.

In my heart, the sea is already turbulent.

This year, he has just launched the Xuanwumen Change and won the promise of the great Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Before I had time to celebrate, before my butt had time to warm up, those Turks came to the door.

Hundreds of thousands of troops!
Rushing all the way, destroying and destroying everything, we have reached the bank of the Weishui River!
If it is not handled carefully, soldiers will come to the city of Chang'an in the future!

There are only a few defenders in Chang'an, how can they resist the Turkic army?
Chang'an!At stake!
It's at stake!
Because of this, Li Shimin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around and discussing countermeasures, and finally had a face-to-face conversation with Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan said that it is okay to ask them to withdraw their troops.

After the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of grain, grass and materials, such as cattle and sheep, servants, etc., were paid in tribute every year, which is a shocking amount.

Every Tang Dynasty person would clench his gums in anger when he saw even the illiterate people, eager to fight with the Turks.

Can…….
So what can I do?

Chang'an Wubing, and even some die-hard loyalists of eldest brother Li Jiancheng, haven't had time to deal with it yet.

Internal and external troubles.

How to contend with the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands.

I can only agree.

Li Shimin sighed, and looked at the civil officials and military generals who were holding their own opinions. Most of the military generals wanted to go to war, while the civil officials were more inclined to negotiate peace.

Especially Changsun Wuji, who would reason with anyone who wanted to fight, until he had nothing to say.

[Thank you for your hard work, auxiliary machine. 】

Li Shimin couldn't help but be filled with gratitude.

Sure enough, he had to be his childhood playmate.

"Stop arguing."

Li Shimin stretched out his hand.

In an instant, the originally noisy lobby fell silent.

Civil and military officials all looked at him.

There is anger, heat, calmness, shame….
There are so many different things.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of determination, and he already had an idea in his heart.

"This matter is the Weishui Treaty."

"I have decided to promise Jieli Khan, and I will send an envoy to discuss the details with him later."

As soon as this word comes out.

Some are happy and some are sad.

"What, Your Majesty! No, no! This treaty of kneeling on the ground, what do future generations think of us? We will become sinners throughout the ages!"

"No, what kind of eternal sinner? Your Majesty is wise! The current situation is not in our Tang Dynasty. We can only recuperate and recuperate in the future before we can avenge today!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your life. I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

"......."

Seeing that it was getting lively again and was about to quarrel again, Li Shimin waved his hands quickly.

"I have decided on this matter."

"My dear friends, don't continue to argue. Now, it's better to discuss which prince to send to Turkic."

Thinking of this prince candidate, Li Shimin rubbed his head with a headache.

The Turks, while demanding a lot of supplies and food, also wanted to take away a Tang prince.

It is said that the prince is allowed to live in Turks, experience the beauty of Turks, and promote the friendship between the two countries.

Well said!

Li Shimin knew that this was actually used to bring the prince back to show off his might.

Look!
This is Li Shimin's son, hahaha, I can't even keep the son Li Shimin beat!
So wait and see.

Li Shimin can figure it out.

Therefore, this prince actually went to the Turks to suffer.

In the future, even if he killed the Turks and avenged the Weishui River today, Li Shimin would not bring this prince back to the Tang Dynasty.

Because every time he saw this prince, he would think of the current history of humiliation. The existence of that prince would also shame the pride of Li Tang's royal family.

What a shame for such a great royal family and such a great Tang Dynasty that a prince grew up in Turks!
and so.

This is an abandoned piece! !

Throw it over to Turkic, the abandoned son who will never be seen again! !
Li Shimin didn't have an idea yet which one to look for.

First of all, his own queen, that is, the heir of the eldest grandson queen, would definitely not work.

And Jieli Khan knew Datang very well, and he also knew Li Tang's royal family. If he sent a concubine, he was afraid that he would offend Jieli Khan, thinking that Datang looked down on him and sent an insignificant person.

Thus, tearing up the treaty.

This is a result Li Shimin cannot bear!

He has fought in the battlefield for several years, and he knows that tearing up the Weishui Covenant now means that the city of Chang'an will be broken, and the Great Tang will be destroyed step by step.

and so!
To send a prince with a pivotal position, so that Jieli Khan can't find fault!

And this is where it gets difficult.

Except for the heirs of Queen Changsun, Prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he could no longer find any of his more famous sons.

Well, what should I do?
Is it difficult....
Really want to send Li Tai?
"His Majesty."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the first one on the far left, thought of an idea: "I think the old minister thinks there is one suitable candidate for the prince."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered: "Oh? The auxiliary machine, please tell me quickly!"

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Such a topic made those generals who opposed the Weishui Treaty feel ashamed, and some generals simply left here.

And now.

Li Shimin saw it and didn't bother to care.

He just wants to know.

Which prince is more suitable to send to Turkic!
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji with fiery eyes.

Not only him, but most civil servants, including some military generals who agreed, looked at Changsun Wuji expectantly.

Facing everyone's eyes, Changsun Wuji smiled slowly: "That is, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, King Chu, Li Kuan!!!"

King Chu, Li Kuan!
In an instant, all the officials were shocked.

They never thought of such a candidate.

Li Kuan, king of Chu, was very mediocre in the past few years, and even died of illness at one time.

Available someday.

He recovered from that illness, and not only that, he seemed to be a different person from then on. He was very smart and helped Li Shimin a lot. Even in this year's Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chu King Li Kuan made a contribution and shot Qi King Li Yuanji.

He is much more powerful than the other princes, and all the ministers can see that he is far more capable than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
