The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 453 Li Tai's Suspicion (Part [-])
"Why didn't you come to the barracks to see me? Is there something unspeakable?" Li Shimin ignored Cheng Yaojin and asked Li Tai directly.

"Father, why do you think Gai Suwen, Generalissimo of the Goryeo Kingdom, has the courage to openly challenge Datang?" Li Tai asked Li Shimin.

Li Tai's words left Li Shimin at a loss as to how to respond.After all, this is indeed a bit weird, although Goguryeo has already occupied most of the land in Liaodong.

But even so, relying on his Liaodong countries, they want to go to war with Datang.It is no different from hitting a stone with an egg, and defeat is just time.

"Did something happen to you?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"Last time, King Chibi Baokang of Beifan blatantly issued a war letter to his father. My ministers felt a hint of conspiracy. Now that King Gao Jianzhuang has declared war on the Tang Dynasty, this makes my ministers even more suspicious."

"That's why I'm so talented. Mingxiu plank road secretly hides Chen Cang. Now, except for the father and the uncles, no one knows that I'm here in Goguryeo."

"They think that my son is still in Mozhou City, so there are certain things that they will be afraid of. After all, my son's notoriety still has a certain deterrent effect." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

If Li Tai has said this, if Li Shimin still doesn't understand.Then he is not qualified to become a wise emperor through the ages.

"Do you know who has ulterior motives to collude with foreigners one after another. They want to overthrow our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"I don't dare to make a conclusion about who is planning all this now. But I can be sure of one thing, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the two imperial brothers." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.He was really worried that Li Ke, the king of Shu, or Li Chengqian, the prince, had ulterior motives.

"Then who do you think is the most suspicious person? Why hasn't he made any movement until now?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"If my son guessed correctly, this person may have some relationship with Zhang Shigui. This is why Zhang Shigui tried every means to make his uncle He Zongxian a worthy minister of his father, Emperor Yingmeng." Li Tai said.

Although Li Tai didn't, he directly said who that person was.But in Li Shimin's heart, he had guessed who Li Tai was talking about.

Seeing Li Shimin's pensive expression, Xu Mao said openly: "Your Majesty, although King Wei's conjecture is very appropriate, but until now, we have no clue."

"Uncle Xu is right, that's why I have to endure so much." Li Tai nodded and said.

"Then what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue like this forever? I'm afraid one day he will find out that you are no longer in Chang'an City." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father, you can rest assured. Even if he finds out that the minister is not in Mozhou City, the minister will also have a way to make him think that the minister will not be in Liaodong at all."

"And as long as Grandpa Huang is here, he won't make any changes. All he can do is to keep mobilizing foreigners and mobilizing troops against the Tang Dynasty. This will consume the national power of the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Your grandpa is indeed a deterrent to him, but after all, your grandpa has abdicated now. I am afraid that when he is full-fledged, he will no longer take your grandpa seriously." Li Shimin said.

"That's why we have to be in control. This cross-sea conquest. As long as we can contain Zhang Shigui, he won't make any changes." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, since he can be so tolerant, it means that he will never take the slightest risk. If he is not completely sure, he will never do anything." Xu Maogong agreed with Li Tai's thoughts and said to Li Shimin.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't ask you any more. Let everything take its course." Li Shimin said to Li Tai after thinking about it.

In fact, everyone present here understands it in their hearts.What Li Shimin said about letting nature take its course is definitely not that simple.

Don't forget, Li Shimin also has a mysterious Qianniu inner guard.It is estimated that it will not be long before that person will be surrounded by Qianniu inner guards.

His every move will definitely not escape Li Shimin's surveillance.If Li Shimin could not do this, he would not be qualified to sit on the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. We have to leave. If we stay too long, I'm afraid it will arouse others' suspicion." Qin Qiong said to Li Shimin.

"What do you want to do next, you'd better say hello to me in advance. I know you have a way to inform me." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got up and left with Xu Maogong and others.

Looking at Li Shimin and others who left, Li Tai couldn't help but think inwardly: "As expected of an emperor through the ages, Tang Taizong who created the rule of Zhenguan. Just because of his stability and forbearance, he is destined to be famous forever."

……

Early the next morning, the tide finally rose to its highest point.Xue Rengui gave an order to let the gang leader board the small boat and throw all the sand and gravel loaded in the boat into the sea.

As the tide rose, the sunken ship on the bottom of the sea was already pulled up from the sea.Now after unloading the heavy objects, the sunken ship is farther away from the bottom of the sea.

Afterwards, Xue Rengui followed Li Tai's instructions.Order the warship to start dragging the small boat on the sea, and slowly go to the deep sea.

After traveling for half a day, we finally reached the deep sea area.When the ropes were cut, all the shipwrecks sank completely into the sea.

At this time, other warships had already left for the Golden Sands Harbor.Without the obstacle of the sunken ship in the waterway, the warship docked very smoothly.

At this time, Zhang Shigui was not to mention how happy he was, he took his son-in-law He Zongxian and went directly to the handsome hall.Needless to say, everyone knows that they went to impersonate again, and took the credit for Xue Rengui.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, Zhang Shigui, the vanguard officer, is asking for an audience outside the hall." After entering the hall, Huangmen officer said to Li Shimin and Yu Chigong.

Seeing Li Shimin nodded, Yu Chigong said, "Let Zhang Shigui come in."

Not long after, Zhang Shigui brought his son-in-law into the handsome hall, firstly saluted Li Shimin as a monarch and minister, and then saluted Yuchi respectfully.

After saluting, Zhang Shigui opened his mouth and said to Yu Chigong: "Reporting to the Marshal, the general will live up to the Marshal's entrustment. Now all the sunken ships in the Jinshatan Waterway have been cleaned up. All warships have successfully entered the port."

"Okay, the vanguard general made a great contribution to this matter. This commander actually recorded this great contribution for you. When the victory returns to the court in the future, the emperor will definitely reward you a lot." Yu Chigong said happily.

"Marshal, I dare not be ashamed to receive this merit. All of this was done by the general's son-in-law He Zongxian. The general is just helping from the side." Zhang Shigui said to Yu Chigong.

"I didn't expect that He Zongxian would have such a talent. It seems that he really might be the emperor's worthy minister Ying Meng." At this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting beside him, said.
