Cháng’ān, although it is still prosperous, but at the end of August, Cháng’ān is a little more gloomy and feels like wind and rain. Because Xia Country is now on the edge of Ganzhou, Longyou Dao, Great Tang glare like a tiger watching his prey, and Great Tang is also attacked by Tibet and Goguryeo at the same time. This has caused great pressure on Great Tang.

Regardless of whether it is an official or the common people, there is a sense of anxiety.

All worried about the instability of Great Tang.

Li Shimin has been keeping a close eye on civil news. After all, the unscrupulous people under his command are scattered all over the country and have been monitoring the local situation. Therefore, Li Shimin knows the public opinion.

Even if Li Shimin knew, there was no way. At the moment Tibet, Goguryeo, etc. are attacking, he has arranged to dispatch troops to resist, and the troops on the border have all sent to Gunpowder so that they can fight against the troops of Tibet and Goguryeo. What Li Shimin wants to do now is to stabilize the domestic situation with spare no effort, and to suppress all chaos.

The most critical aspect is Xia Country.

This is the key.

If Du Qi continues to kill, even if Li Shimin wants to stabilize the domestic situation, he cannot do it. The reason is simple, Du Qi’s strength is too strong, and Li Shimin will not try his best, simply cannot resist.

Once Li Shimin tries his best to resist, the domestic situation will continue to deteriorate. As for the adoption of Li Chengqian’s suggestions, the problem is that if Li Chengqian’s suggestions fail to be implemented, in the end, the situation will be even more difficult to contain. Therefore, the most important thing is to seek peace from Du Qi, first stabilize Du Qi, stabilize the domestic situation, solve the border problems, and then compete with Du Qi.

Li Shimin now handles government affairs in the great hall all day long.

No longer in the harem.

Even though there are other concubines in the harem, now he has no intention of pampering them. Ever since the eldest grandson Wugou passed away, Li Shimin felt a lot of emptiness in his heart. Now his mind just wants to stabilize Great Tang first. When Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs, Fang Xuanling hurried in.

Fang Xuanling looked eager. He entered the great hall and hurriedly saluted after seeing Li Shimin, and then said: “His Majesty, from Ganzhou, there is news from Wei Xiang.”

Fang Xuanling handed over the letter while speaking.

Li Shimin took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter and browsed. After he scanned it quickly, his face was completely dark, and his eyes were extremely sharp, scolded: “bully intolerably, Du Qi bully intolerably.”

Fang Xuanling said: ” His Majesty, what are the conditions for Du Qi to agree to peace?”

Li Shimin said: “Du Qi needs the entire Longyou Dao. He wants me to cede Longyou Dao before he agrees to the peace. The whole Longyou Dao, that is the barrier to the west of my Great Tang. Once Longyou Dao falls into Du Qi’s hands, if Du Qi wants to enter the pass, then with no difficulty. For us, this is extremely unfavorable. Even more, this is cutting flesh on my body. Xuan Ling, Du Qi this child, is really very ruthless, I really regret letting him go!”

Fang Xuanling was silent in his heart.

I knew this, why bother.

To regret it is useless now.

Of course, Fang Xuanling said such words impossible. He slowly said: “His Majesty, Du Qi’s condition is indeed equivalent to a cut from the heart. The conditions are extremely ruthless. The promise of Du Qi’s conditions will definitely have a great impact on my Great Tang. But if we don’t agree to Du Qi’s conditions, we will be embarrassed if Du Qi enters Longyou Road. In short, this is a dilemma.”

Li Shimin said: “Fang Qing, how do you make a decision?”

Fang Xuanling said: “The ministers don’t know what to do. It is difficult to agree; it is difficult to disagree! “

Li Shimin raised his head and looked forward, watching the sun shone brightly outside the great hall, and couldn’t help sighing. It is not easy for him to govern Great Tang now. I think that when his Father Emperor ruled Great Tang, Great Tang would calm down, the world would be unified, and everything would be prosperous.

Now he is in charge of Great Tang, and it has only been a few years from the period of prosperity to beacon. Today’s Great Tang is already a house with air leaks on all sides, and the wind and rain are shaking.

Fang Xuanling sat down and didn’t speak, because it was really difficult for him to make a decision when it came to this decision.

So he does not recommend it.

Everything depends on the emperor’s decision.

Li Shimin instructed: “Come on, pass the Crown Prince.”

The servant immediately sent the order.

Not long after, Li Chengqian hurriedly entered. He is now the Crown Prince, but now he is more stable.

After all, at the moment, the domestic situation is unstable, where there is still idle time to fight for power, Li Tai is also a lot more honest, so Li Chengqian’s Crown Prince is a lot more stable. In addition, Li Shimin suppressed Li Tai’s power in order to stabilize the situation in the Imperial Court, making Li Tai impossible to influence Li Chengqian even if he was thinking.

Furthermore, Li Chengqian has been in charge of the country several times now, and he has a group of talents under his command, and Li Chengqian is quite capable in ruling, so Li Shimin is very satisfied with Li Chengqian, and has given Li Chengqian a part of his rights.

Li Chengqian said: “Father Emperor!”

Li Shimin waved his hand to let Li Chengqian sit down, and handed the letter sent back by Wei Zheng to Li Chengqian, saying: “Crown Prince, now In this situation, how do you think we should decide?”

Li Chengqian was angry after reading it, opened the mouth and said: “Father Emperor, the son thinks that in the current situation, we have no choice. Once It is asking Du Qi to cede Longyou Dao. How do the subjects of the world view Father Emperor? How do they view my Great Tang. Since Du Qi wants Longyou Dao, we simply plan for the worst.”

Li Shimin said: “What’s your plan?”

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: “This plan of the son-chen is based on the previous arrangement and still does not change the previous plan. I am Great Tang, recruiting knowledgeable The man, went to Longyou Road to resist the soldiers and horses of Xia Country. Only this time, the rewards have changed. However, anyone who can block Xia Country and those who can defeat Xia Country, the Imperial Court will be crowned Longxi King and Longyou Road As his Fiefdom, he was allowed to inherit his inheritance in Longxi, Yongzhen Longyou Road.”

Fang Xuanling complexion slightly changed.

He has an incredible look in his eyes, because Li Chengqian’s arrangement is actually quite vicious, even very strong. If under this condition, it can block Du Qi, it is tantamount to driving the tiger and the wolf, and there is no problem.

However, once this plan fails, the situation in Great Tang will become more and more dangerous, and even fall into a world enemy situation. Because of Xia Country, Tibet, Goguryeo and other countries, impossible to give up attacking Great Tang.

It depends on whether this plan can be maintained, but Fang Xuanling’s heart does not hold much hope. The reason is simple, the entire country cannot resist Xia Country, let alone some other people?

After listening to Li Shimin, he was thinking.

Even a little moved.

In Li Shimin’s view, the situation has deteriorated extremely, and it has already deteriorated to this point. Even if it deteriorates again, it is impossible to deteriorate to a worse degree, so Li Shimin somewhat agrees with this plan.

“Report!”

At this moment, a servant entered.

After the internal waiter station settled, he took out the letter and put it in his hand, saying: “His Majesty, a sentry sent back the latest news about Longyou Road.”

Li Shimin said:” Submit it.”

The waiter delivered the letter, and already turned and left. Li Shimin opened the letter, the complexion slightly changed, and said: “Du Qi this child, really a thief. He arranged People spread the news in Longyou Dao Realm to promote the news of our Great Tang’s request for peace. At the same time, they said that Great Tang is likely to cede Longyou Dao for peace. Now this news has spread in Longyou Dao, making people were alarmed.”

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: “Du Qi is really hateful, Father Emperor, Erchen always thinks that reaching an agreement with Du Qi is to seek skin with a tiger, which is absolutely impossible. Because Du Qi is untrustworthy, because Du Qi impossible suffers.”

paused, Li Chengqian continued: “So now, we have no other choice but to fight Du Qi to the end. Rumors are flying in the air, and Imperial is needed. Court came forward and cleared the source and cleared up the rumors.”

Li Shimin nodded, but he has not made a decision yet, but looked towards Fang Xuanling and asked again: “Fang Qing, Crown Prince’s suggestion, do you think How?”

Li Chengqian said: “Father Emperor, why is there any hesitation.”

Li Shimin scolded: “Shut up!”

Li Chengqian shut up and said nothing.

Li Shimin’s gaze fell on Fang Xuanling, because Fang Xuanling is resourceful, even Fang Xuanling lacks decision, but Fang Xuanling can analyze the pros and cons of the situation so that Li Shimin can make decisions Decided.

Fang Xuanling thought a little, and said: “His Majesty, in fact, the proposal of His Royal Highness Crown Prince is not without exception. Indeed, as His Royal Highness Crown Prince said, the situation has reached this point. It’s okay to take out a reward for the heroes of the world.”

“Of course, the Imperial Court must also prepare for the worst, that is, once in accordance with the arrangements of His Royal Highness Crown Prince, a reward for the influence of the world, once blocked In the end, Xia Country’s army quickly seized Longyou Road. Under this premise, negotiations with Xia Country would be different. The situation will be even more unfavorable and more difficult.”

Fang Xuanling’s heart is still worried.

Li Shimin said: “It’s true, the pros and cons are obvious. Fang Qing, I decided to fight again with Xia Country, telling the world, who can recruit troops by themselves, blocking the strength of Xia Country, I allowed him to be king in Longyou Road, and the Imperial Court was named the King of Longxi, hereditary.”

Fang Xuanling said: “The minister will arrange it immediately.”

Li Shimin Said: “Go.”

Fang Xuanling got up and left.

In the great hall, only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian father and son are left. Li Chengqian said: “Father Emperor is wise, I am Great Tang. I am not afraid of Xia Country. I just want to fight Xia Country to the end. Now that Longyou Road is ceded, the people of the world will be disappointed with Great Tang, and the people of the world will be disappointed with the Father Emperor. So right now, the struggle is right.”

Li Shimin said: “Crown Prince, the situation is now down. Nothing is right or wrong. What can be done now is to block the army of Xia Country. No matter what the method is, it is good to be effective.”

paused, Li Shimin continued: “If I really can’t stop the army of Du Qi. I might adopt a strategy of seeking peace. Because under this premise, the safety of Great Tang can be ensured and Great Tang can be kept. For me, as long as the final result can be achieved , There is nothing that can’t be adopted. It’s just that the strategy you proposed can take into account both Great Tang and Great Tang’s decentness. So now, I have adopted your suggestion.”

Li Chengqian Wen Yan, quite shocked.

Because of what Li Shimin said just now, he was a little surprised.

Li Shimin said: “Okay, I’m busy with you.”

“Yes!”

Li Chengqian got up and withdrew.

Li Shimin sat alone in the great hall, and his heart actually hesitated to adopt Li Chengqian’s advice. It also involves the lives of Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, and things are a little more complicated.

“It’s fixed!”

Li Shimin sighed.

The hoarse voice reverberates in the great hall, and finally there is no more sound.

Li Shimin is the only one left sitting.
