I'm a marquis in Datang

Called Ming Jun.

But when Li Shimin involved Du Qi, things were difficult to deal with, as if he had lost his mind.

Li Yuan's voice was very hoarse, but when it reached Li Shimin's heart, it was as if a bell was ringing in the morning and a drum in the evening, making Li Shimin's heart tremble.In his heart, he was also thinking about his treatment of the merchants of the Xia Kingdom. Indeed, all the merchants of the Xia Kingdom who were arrested were temporarily detained.The reason why all the people were detained was to cut off Du Qi's eyeliner.

The so-called would rather kill the wrong than let it go.

Therefore, it has evolved into the current situation.

After Li Yuan said something, because he was a little emotional, his breathing was a little short.He paused for a long time before continuing: "Emperor, according to my handling method, it is actually very simple. Right now, Datang is at a disadvantage in the war with Xia Kingdom, so Datang will take the initiative to show weakness."

"It will not be too late to retaliate when the Tang Dynasty has enough strength. In the past, the rule of Wenjing and the brilliant style of writing laid the foundation for the rise of the Great Han. But in fact, did Emperor Hanwen and Emperor Hanjing suffer less grievances? "

"Not at all, the grievances suffered by the two of them are too many, not only from domestic pressure, but also from external pressure from the Huns. Let's not talk about it, let's say that when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the world's heroes were separated. , and the Turks in the north are extremely tyrannical, and no one can stop their cavalry."

Li Yuan said: "Under this premise, it is extremely difficult for the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, it was only at your time that the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks in the north and stabilized the internal situation. Therefore, from the old man's point of view, you should first release the merchants of the Xia Kingdom. Take the initiative to show weakness to Xia Guo. In addition, Du Qi won the two places of Shazhou and Guazhou, so he gave these two places to Du Qi, negotiated peace with Xia Guo, stopped the war, and stopped the war."

After Li Shimin finished listening, he was thinking in his heart.

He admitted that Li Yuan's analysis was reasonable.

But these are not the strategies Li Shimin is willing to adopt, not the way Li Shimin is willing to pursue.

It's not his style.

Li Shimin did not answer immediately, but said: "Father, Rong Erchen think about it."

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, shook his head and said, "Emperor, you are the son of this old man, and I know your temperament. You have always been unyielding. In fact, you came this time not to ask the old man for advice, but to hope The old man's answer is the same as yours. It also uses iron and blood methods to directly suppress domestic inspections and ignore Du Qi's threats. In this way, you will have confidence. It's just that you are the emperor, and you want to obey my government? Here, if you gain confidence, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Li Shimin said: "Thank you, Father."

Li Yuan said: "Thank you for what a dying old man is doing. You came to ask for help, but the old man didn't give you what you wanted. On the contrary, he gave you an answer you didn't want."

Li Shimin said: "No matter what, with my father around, I have confidence."

Li Yuan got up and said: "You can do your work, the old man has gone back."

He knew that he couldn't persuade Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's disposition was actually the same as Li Yuan's in his bones, and it was something he had decided on, so he would definitely not change his mind.

.

Leaning on crutches, Li Yuan got up slowly, and left slowly.

Li Shimin looked at the back of Li Yuan's departure, and there was a look of nostalgia in those bright eyes.Because by now, the situation has gradually become out of control, and even the direction of Datang may not be under the control of Li Shimin.

Everything can only depend on God's will.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

"Ugh…"

When Li Yuan walked out, when he walked out of the main hall and stood at the entrance of the main hall, he couldn't help sighing again.Long sighs and heavy gasps came out, showing Li Yuan's exhaustion.In this sigh, there was a trace of hesitation and uneasiness, because Li Yuan suddenly felt that the more you don't want to see things, the more likely he will appear.

Li Yuan did not want Li Shimin to follow Yang Guang's old path.

I don't want Great Tang II to die.

However, the rise of Du Qi made Datang more and more dangerous, and it is very likely that this situation will really happen.

Li Shimin glanced at the direction Li Yuan was leaving, then looked at Fang Xuanling, and said, "Mr. Fang, you should go back and think about it, and think about what to do."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Fang Xuanling got up to bid farewell and left.

Li Shimin sat there for quite a while, he didn't summon the civil servants and generals under his command, but went to the harem specifically to meet his eldest grandson Wugou.Although Changsun Wugou has always been

Those who manage government affairs don't interfere in political affairs, but people are like this, the more you don't meddle, the more Li Shimin is willing to share with his eldest grandson Wugou.

When Li Shimin arrived in the palace, he waved his hand, and all the maids withdrew.

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson Wugou, and said: "Guanyin servant girl, because Li Xiaogong and his wife disappeared quietly, they were taken away by Du Qi's people. I ordered the arrest of Xia Guo merchants for interrogation, and now Du Qi has arranged for someone to send a letter saying that If I don’t release the merchants of the Xia Kingdom, I will assassinate the officials of the Tang Dynasty. With the current situation, I am also in a bit of a dilemma for a while!”

The eldest grandson Wugou got up, walked to Li Shimin's side, rubbed Li Shimin's temples, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about government affairs. I only know that what Your Majesty does must have a reason There is a reason. No matter what His Majesty does, I will support His Majesty. No matter what, I want to be worthy of my heart and my ancestors. This is enough!"

After Li Shimin heard it, he paused.

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly he burst out laughing, and immediately Li Shimin said: "Guanyin maidservant, you are right, I do things with a conscience, and it is enough to be worthy of my ancestors."

The eldest grandson Wugou also had a smile on his face.

She is Li Shimin's wife, the woman behind Li Shimin, and she only needs to fully support Li Shimin.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou talked, then strode away.

He has already made a decision.

Chapter 1136

fight to the end

When Li Shimin returned to the main hall, he immediately called Fang Xuanling into the palace.Fang Xuanling had just left for a while, and just returned to the office, thinking about what he had discussed with Li Shimin before, his buttocks were still hot, and now he was summoned by Li Shimin, so he had to rush to the hall immediately to see him.

Li Shimin said directly: "Sit down, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Fang Xuanling thanked her, she lifted up her robe and sat down.

Li Shimin said directly: "Fang Qing, I have already made a decision."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, please show me."

Li Shimin said: "I have decided to fight Du Qi to the end. He wants to threaten, and I will accompany him to the end. I will not release the merchants of the Xia Kingdom. Even, all the businesses of the Xia Kingdom will be seized."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face became even more stern, and he said: "Since we have already started a full-scale war with Xia Guo, then this time, I will accompany you to the end."

Fang Xuanling said: "I obey the order!"

In fact, he felt that it was difficult to choose left or right. Now that Li Shimin had made a decision, Fang Xuanling immediately agreed.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant entered.

The servant bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is Pei Qingsong outside the palace asking to see you."
