In the great hall, there are already important civil and military officials from the Imperial court. This was notified by Wei Zheng in advance. After all, when it comes to Tibet’s invasion of the border, Great Tang is in danger and needs to be discussed.

As soon as Li Shimin entered, everyone got up and saluted. After Li Shimin took his seat, he looked around at everyone. He was just about to speak, but his stomach called gu gu. After all, he hadn’t eaten for two days and his stomach was so hungry that gu gu called gu.

Li Shimin asked the Yushan Fang to bring food. He said while eating: “Today we discussed two things. The first thing is still dealing with Xia Country Du Qi’s attack. The matter is Tibet’s invasion of the border. You have any ideas, and you all speak freely and talk about how to deal with this matter.”

“His Majesty, the minister suggested to Xia Country for peace.”

Among the officials, some people stood up.

This person’s name is Kong Yingda, he is a descendant of Confucius, and he is a clear streamer in the Imperial court. Although Kong Yingda is not the chief official of various ministries, nor is it an Imperial court Prime Minister, Kong Yingda’s own reputation is not simple. He holds the position of Imperial College of Supreme Learning Libation Chancellor. He has no real power in the Imperial court, but he is the leader of Qingliu.

When Kong Yingda spoke, it represented the opinions of many people.

Li Shimin frowned.

Seek peace!

This is equivalent to surrendering to Du Qi.

It’s something Li Shimin doesn’t want.

Be aware that Du Qi once was just a courtier of Li Shimin and a junior of Li Shimin. But now, as the lord of Great Tang, Li Shimin wants to make peace with Du Qi, which is tantamount to sweeping Li Shimin’s face. You must know that if Li Shimin wanted to kill Du Qi, it was just a matter of one sentence, crushing Du Qi to death is like crushing an ant. But now, Du Qi is riding on Li Shimin’s head.

When Kong Yingda saw Li Shimin’s appearance, especially seeing Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, he knew that Li Shimin must be angry, but Kong Yingda didn’t care and continued Said: “His Majesty, the reason why the minister said so, the reason is very simple, Great Tang now does not have enough energy to deal with internal trouble and outside aggression. If Great Tang does not have the danger of borders, and there is no chaos everywhere, then Great Tang can Fight to the end with Du Qi.”

paused, Kong Yingda continued: “With Great Tang’s strength, it is absolutely possible to fight to the end with Xia Country, and continue to compete with Xia Country. But now, Great. Tang itself is already exhausted and does not have enough strength to deal with it. If at this time, he would forcefully start a war with Du Qi, the consequences would be disastrous.”

As Kong Yingda spoke, some other officials followed suit. The opening goes along. Because this is indeed a problem at the moment, Great Tang does not have enough strength to deal with it.

Li Shimin was reluctant in his heart, but he had to admit that Kong Yingda’s words made sense. Li Shimin breathes deeply, looked towards Li Chengqian, who followed to participate in government affairs, and said: “Crown Prince, what do you think?”

Li Chengqian said: “Father Emperor, I think, this Tibet’s Danger is just a hidden danger that’s all on the border. It’s not enough to be afraid. If Tibet is invading the border, I’m afraid. On the contrary, it seems that Great Tang is too timid. The child minister still holds the previous attitude and suggestions. The Imperial Court issued an edict and called for it. The people of insight recruit the people on their own and organize forces to go to the border to resist the invasion of Xia Country.”

Li Chengqian strongly said: “As long as someone can pull strongly against a crazy tide and stop the attack of Xia Country, then I Great Tang, you can treat me favorably and give enough treatment. It is not a problem to entrust the king and the public. This is the fundamental solution to the problem. Peacemaking will damage our Great Tang state system.”

“His Majesty , The minister opposes!”

Kong Yingda said abruptly: “His Majesty, Great Tang can’t stand the toss now! Please His Majesty think twice.”

Many people agreed.

Many people support peace.

As for those who support Li Chengqian, they belong to the line of Li Chengqian Crown Prince Eastern Palace. Among those who oppose the war, in particular, Wei Zheng is also a clear-cut opponent of Li Chengqian’s proposal. with. As a result, the call for peace is actually higher. The two parties are arguing, but instead hand over the decision-making power to Li Shimin, who has to rely on Li Shimin to make the decision.

a pair of vision, both looked towards Li Shimin.

Waiting for Li Shimin’s decision.

The atmosphere in the great hall is quite deadlocked.

“Report!”

At this moment, another servant entered and said: “His Majesty, there is the latest emergency report, which was uploaded from the grassland.”

The servant delivered the letter.

After opening the letter, Li Shimin’s expression changed abruptly after reading the contents of the letter. He slapped the letter on the desk, saying solemnly: “The Turkic people on the grassland suddenly began to rebel and rebelled, and they have disobeyed our control. These people directly killed the officials in Turkic and burned the set up of the governor. Palace.”

paused, Li Shimin continued: “Although Jieli and other Turkic nobles are all detained in Cháng’ān. But the Turkic tribe members have rebelled. Now I am Great Tang, it’s really wind and rain swaying, and all kinds of monsters, ghosts and snakes have come out.”

Everyone looked solemn after hearing the words.

The heart of each one is even more low.

The situation is very bad!

Even Li Chengqian, who originally had to go to war again, lost his persistence. For Tibet and Turkic, all of a sudden, all of them came into chaos, and who had a great threat to Great Tang was impossible and ignored them.

“His Majesty, Liaodong Express!”

At this moment, another servant came in and delivered a letter about Liaodong.

Li Shimin’s eyes are even more worried. He took the letter and scanned it quickly. After reading it, he looked angrily and said: “Goguryeo also suddenly made chaos and attacked me Great Tang Liaodong border. Tibet, Turkic, and Goguryeo, etc., all suddenly messed up. Could this be Du Qi’s arrangement?”

In fact, this is really not Du Qi’s arrangement. He would not say, Rely on Tibet, Turkic and other joint attacks. For Du Qi, he disdains it. It’s just that the Great Tang wind and rain faltered, everyone has an idea, so Tibet, Turkic and Goguryeo all have their own actions to profit from somebody’s misfortune, and finally they are all concentrated together.

Everyone in the Imperial Court looks even more solemn, and even many people’s eyes are even more nervous. The original Great Tang is flourishing, but now Great Tang is going downhill and the situation is getting more and more dangerous, so everyone also feels like wind and rain are precarious.

Li Shimin said solemnly: “Now it seems that there is only a way of peace. If it is to fight again, Great Tang all directions are enemies and cannot hold so many attacks.”

At this moment, Li Shimin sighed.

It is even more depressed.

He is unwilling to beg Du Qi for mercy and admit defeat. The problem is that Li Shimin can’t stand the current situation. It is really bad. So Li Shimin can only seek peace from Du Qi.

Wei Zheng asked: “His Majesty, how do we sum up now?”

Li Shimin looked towards Wei Zheng, and said: “Here, I don’t set specific The conditions for this are based on the stability of Xia Country. This time we are seeking peace, with Wei Zheng as the principal envoy and Kong Yingda as the deputy envoy. You two will lead a team to the border to make peace with Du Qi and stop fighting.”

Wei Zheng looked a little embarrassed.

Didn’t expect, he turned out to be an official.

Kong Yingda is the same.

Because this summation makes Small Official things difficult to do, not easy things to accomplish.

Li Shimin said: “Why, you are not willing?”

Wei Zheng said: “The minister is willing to go!”

Kong Yingda also said: “Chen I would also like to go.”

The two knew that there was no room for rejection at the moment, so they both agreed directly.

Li Shimin turned his gaze and looked towards Fang Xuanling: “Fang Qing, mobilize the army and quickly go to the border to suppress the situation. Although Tibet, Goguryeo and Turkic are in trouble, we still have Gunpowder, and the other party No, this is our advantage and we can win.”

Fang Xuanling said: “Chen abides by the order!”

Li Shimin quickly arranged one by one. After all the government affairs were arranged, everyone was allowed to retreat after everything was processed. Li Shimin started to review the government affairs. After all, he was immersed in the sadness of the death of his grandson Wugou in the past two days. Some government affairs were detained immediately. Dealt with.
