I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Yuan nowadays is quite old, but he raises flowers and plants in the palace every day, reads books, drinks wine from time to time, and gradually gets used to it. It has been a Zen figure for years.

After Li Shimin entered, he saw Li Yuan in the hall. Today’s Li Yuan is neatly dressed and said solemnly: “Emperor, I heard news from Western Regions has come back. What is the situation.”

Although Li Yuan has eyeliner, what is the specific situation? Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and the others know that under the current circumstances, Li Yuan is temporarily unaware.

Li Shimin sat down and said: “Father Emperor, Hou Junji led a fifty thousand army and clashed with Du Qi. In the end, Hou Junji’s army was defeated, and Hou Junji was captured by Du Qi.”

Li Yuan heard the words, shook the head.

When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan’s appearance, he felt a little frustrated. He always wanted to prove his abilities in Li Yuan’s place. In addition, Great Tang is prospering in recent years, the situation is getting better and better, and the people’s life is getting more and more stable. When Li Shimin sees Li Yuan, he can also proudly say that he has never lost Li Yuan’s face or disappointed Li Yuan. I have never apologized to the Li people in the world.

It happened this time that Hou Junji’s defeat made Li Shimin faceless in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan continued: “The emperor, you are in conflict with Du Qi to deprive Du Qi of power. In fact, from the perspective of the emperor, I don’t think there is anything. It’s normal to let others snore on the side. But since I chose to use Du Qi and didn’t have spare no effort, I’ve lost it now. That’s a bad thing!”

Li Shimin listen However, he couldn’t stop him, he could only let Li Yuan continue to nag.

Li Yuan’s eyes were deep and he slowly said: “Of course from the very beginning, I am opposed to war. Because Du Qi, the youngster, although in Western Regions, he has always respected me and respected me. Human.”

“If you don’t move him, everything is easy to say, nothing will happen. But if you want to deal with him, you will inevitably encounter the most intense reaction. Under this premise , It’s not wise for you to fight Du Qi.”

“Back then, I didn’t see through Du Qi’s means, and I don’t know how much Du Qi left behind. Now so many years have passed. , Du Qi’s strength has long been further strengthened.”

Li Yuan said solemnly: “If you don’t let Du Qi sit up, you shouldn’t promise to give him Fiefdom. You promised it, you have to take it back, and I want to deprive him of everything. It’s you, would you accept such a condition?”

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, opened the mouth and said: “Father Emperor called me, could it be for Do you blame me?”

“Of course not!”

Li Yuan shook the head, saying: “I am very old now, and I don’t have this leisure. The reason why I call you I’m here to ask you about your next response.”

Li Shimin didn’t hide it, he said directly: “Father Emperor, the son has already discussed with the courtiers and decided to send troops to fight against Du Qi. He wants to ask what happened. In this campaign, I personally bring troops into battle, and Li Jing accompanied the army. During my departure, Crown Prince supervised the country, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were in charge of assisting.”

Li Yuan said:” The emperor, have you ever considered, what if you fail again in this crusade against Du Qi?”

Li Shimin looked confident and said loudly, “Father Emperor, the children will not fail.”

Li Yuan continued: “I think that when the Great Sui was handed over to Yang Guang in the past, how strong is it? Yang Guang just used it for himself, believes oneself infallible, and believes that the world is under control, constantly conquering Goguryeo, again and again , Again and again, finally lost the national fortune of the Sui Dynasty.”

“Goguryeo is not comparable to Du Qi’s Western Regions four states. Gao Zhouli’s strength is not comparable to Du Qi. If you want to fight Du Qi now, you are also facing great danger. “

“Once you fail in the crusade, and don’t mention whether anything will happen to your leader personally bringing troops into battle, even if you come back. But in the case of defeat, the situation in Great Tang may have just stabilized, and once again all split up and in pieces. “

Li Yuan asked: “Emperor, do you really want to crusade Du Qi?” “

Li Shimin sighed: “Father Emperor, you said so much, but don’t you actually hope that the children will not attack Du Qi?” Speaking of which, I am your son. Du Qi is closer to you than me. Great Tang wants to conquer Du Qi, send 100,000 troops, and then recruit tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat Du Qi, it will not be difficult. “

Li Yuan said: “After all, you still want to crusade. You never thought about it. Can you not afford the consequences?” Han Xin’s person, success and failure are also Xiao He. Once the people of later generations, there will be another you Li Shimin, Du Qi will become Du Qi, but Du Qi will be a bit ironic. Great Tang is now on the right track. Are you sure you really want to send troops? “

In Li Yuan’s heart, he does not want to send troops.

Li Yuan’s temperament is more stable.

Because of the peace of Great Tang now, come It’s not easy. As for Du Qi in the Western Regions, the four states of Western Regions do not belong to Great Tang at all. Du Qi used his own power to beat them down, so Li Yuan does not have much covetousness for the Western Regions states.

Li Shimin fell silent after listening to Li Yuan’s words. After a while, Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor, no matter what, I will send troops. Great Tang, no provocation is allowed. even more how Du Qi Here, I want Du Qi to give an explanation. Great Tang Civilian Court Official General, a galaxy of talent, can’t be afraid of Du Qi. “

Li Yuan shook the head, Li Shimin didn’t listen to persuasion at all. In Li Yuan’s view, Li Shimin was so stubborn. He always had his own opinion and did not listen to persuasion.

Li Yuan sighed, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Li Shimin’s hand, and said, “The name on this letter, you arrange for a bad person to stare at it. Once they change, kill it. “

Li Shimin spread out the letter and saw the names on it. Many of these people were known to Li Shimin, some were in the palace, some were in Eastern Palace, and some were in There are Cháng’ān government offices, as well as from all over the country.

There are a lot of people, more than 50 people.

When Li Shimin saw the name, he was very puzzled:” Father Emperor, what do you mean? “

Li Yuan said: “You are the emperor, and Great Tang is in your hands. It can only prosper, not regress.” I, Great Tang, will never be a great Sui, and I will never repeat the mistakes of the great Sui. Part of these people belonged to me, and part of them belonged to the former Crown Prince. They all survived the Xuanwu Gate change, and then they did their own things. “

“You are the emperor, and you are in control. The past has long since disappeared with the wind, and there will be no impact. Because you are going to battle, it doesn’t matter if you win. Once you lose, it may cause turmoil. “

“So, you arrange for people to look after these people. “

Li Yuan said: “Once they have any movement, directly Execute without any mercy. In addition, after you set out on the expedition, arrange for unscrupulous people to take my palace to death, and no one is allowed to enter and exit to avoid disturbances. “

Li Shimin heard Li Yuan’s words, his face showed shocking hospitality.

Li Yuan is helping him.

Li Yuan cares His.

At this moment, Li Shimin’s eyes were faintly moist. Because he never thought that Li Yuan would give him the list he had in his hands.

Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor, thank you. “

Li Yuan shook the head, indifferently said: “Don’t thank me, I did this not for you, but for the long-term peace of Great Tang. What happened in the Great Sui cannot happen to Great Tang. I, Great Tang, must not repeat the same mistakes. Today, stability should be the first priority. “

Li Shimin said: “No matter what, many thanks Father Emperor. “

Li Yuan waved his hand, no longer had the thought to speak any more, because he had already given the one that should be given to Li Shimin. Li Yuan didn’t want Du Qi to have an accident, but he didn’t even want Li Shimin has something wrong, especially I don’t want Great Tang to be turbulent.

Great Tang is not only Li Shimin’s Great Tang, but also his Great Tang.
