Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"The news of our army sweeping Goguryeo has spread throughout the country. At this time, the country is rising. Why don't we take advantage of this good opportunity to send an army to sweep Xue Yantuo and completely remove this hidden danger?"

"Master Cheng," Fang Xuanling said loudly, but did not back down, "It is true that the army swept Koguryo, but you know that these repeated expeditions are about to endanger the foundation of the treasury? Now that the treasury is empty, it is difficult to support the army to go on an expedition again. !"

Cheng Yaojin said carelessly: "I don't care about this, I don't care. It's natural to spend money and food to go on an expedition. If you don't have it, do you want the army to drink the northwest wind?"

Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile: "I mean we have fought too many times in a short period of time! This has resulted in an empty treasury and it is difficult to support the expedition here!"

"Now that I have settled the world at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and I have conquered Tubo and Goguryeo, this matter should be as His Highness the Prince said, and we should hurry up and build it... How do you say that? Strengthen the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty, and only then can you become a true heavenly emperor. country!"

"What the hell... eh?"

Cheng Yaojin said casually, but suddenly he seemed to realize something and asked, "Wait, who did you just say?"

"Of course His Royal Highness said it." Fang Xuanling covered his face with a wry smile.

"Oh, then I have no objection."

Cheng Yaojin saluted, and then returned to the group of ministers and officials.

"..."

Fang Xuanling knew that Cheng Yaojin admired Li You very much, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

His Prime Minister's words, even in His Majesty's opinion, have the weight of "Fang plotting and eradicating", but at this moment, it is not as effective as an absent His Royal Highness, Fang Xuanling was a little dumbfounded for a while.

There was also a wry smile on Li Shimin's face, and he waved his hand and said, "If all the Aiqings have no objection, then it's settled, and let Xue Yantuo go for the time being."

Li Shimin said so, in fact, very unwilling.

It's like seeing a small gangster keep provoking you, but because of the shyness in your pocket, you can only let him humiliate and can't fight back!

Therefore, Li Shimin suddenly missed Li You very much in his heart. If only he could advise him by his side... Then, where did Li You go at this time?

Li You, dressed in a golden robe, quickly returned to the East Palace.

"Your Highness, you are back!"

The maid Xiao Zhu was waiting for Li You's arrival at the main entrance of the East Palace with a group of guests.

"Your Highness, is this battle going well?"

Zhao Yun stepped forward and grabbed the reins for Li You.

Li You smiled and said: "Fortunately, although there are obstacles, how can Goguryeo stop Gu?"

Li Youfei dismounted and entered the gate of the East Palace surrounded by Menke Yangyouji and Niu Xiaoer.

"Ah, it feels so good to be home!"

Li You closed his eyes and howled loudly.

"teacher!"

Turning around the gate of the East Palace, Wu Zetian ran out of the study and was very happy when he saw Li You's figure.

0

But because she was quite concerned about the affairs of the state, she still asked in confusion: "Don't you have to go to court today?"

"The court? It doesn't exist! Today I, Li You, are going to perform a live performance and skip work!"

Li You rubbed Wu Zetian's face with his hand, and said with a smile, "Besides, I'm exhausted both physically and mentally with my father on the expedition to Goguryeo. What if I don't have a good rest for a while?"

"Case Gu's order, only ask Fengyue, not trivial matters!"

……

In the palace of the King of Shu.

Li Kegao sat on the Taishi chair and tapped the handle of the Taishi chair with his fingers.

There was a faint glimmer of brilliance in his black and white eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts—Prince Li You is back, with the great achievements of sweeping Goguryeo, Da Po Xuan Doucheng, and capturing Yuan Gai Suwen.

……

Although I did my best in the court while Li You was away in Chang'an, and more or less created a reputation as a virtuous king in the courtroom, these were not enough!

Compared with what Li You has done in the past, and his credit for sweeping Goguryeo to open up the country for the Tang Dynasty, it is naturally incomparable!

"Clap clap clap..."

The speed of tapping his fingers slowly accelerated, and the more Li Ke thought about it, the more he felt that he was not as good as Li You, and for a while, he was extremely irritable.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu," a maid said softly outside the study, "Yin Hongzhi, my lord, please see me."

"Come in quickly!"

Li Ke took a deep breath and turned his face into a calm one again, unable to see how irritable he was just now.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, how are you doing?"

Yin Hongzhi entered the study with a smile on his face that made people look like a spring breeze.

"Lord Chengyin Ji Yan, this king is very good."

Li Ke said with a smile, and then ordered the maid to serve tea quickly.

"You are so bold... His Royal Highness has been in court for two days, yet you are still so calm?" Yin Hongzhi said with a smile.
