I'm a marquis in Datang

If I can survive for a while, I will go there in person.It's just that you ask for a sum, what conditions can you give? "

Li Shimin was silent for a while, and said: "Father, the condition I can give right now is to give up Suzhou and admit that the lands of Suzhou, Shazhou and Guazhou belong to Du Qi."

"not enough!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Shazhou and Guazhou have been captured by Du Qi, and the place where you fought is already here in Changbaipo.

Even the old man knew the news, let alone Du Qi.If you were Du Qi, you have seized most of Suzhou and occupied an absolute advantage. Would you accept such a condition? "

Li Shimin said: "My father thinks, what should I do?"

Li Yuandao: "In addition to giving up Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou, I will also hand over Changsun Wuji to the old man. In this way, the old man will show his old face and let Du Qi rest."

"impossible!"

Li Shimin shook his head and answered.

Changsun Wuji was his eldest brother-in-law, and Li Shimin could barely accept Changsun Wuji's apology. After all, it was just an apology and it didn't involve his life.But handing Changsun Wuji to Li Yuan is tantamount to handing Changsun Wuji to Du Qi to vent his anger. Under this premise, Changsun Wuji must be in a situation of death but not life.

Li Yuan said: "Emperor, Changsun Wuji is the key. Every time you have fought Du Qi, at the end of each war, it was Changsun Wuji who calmed down Du Qi."

Qi's anger, without this condition, it would be absolutely impossible. "

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Father, Du Qi is not without hidden dangers in the rear now. In the territory of Du Qi's Xia Kingdom, people from my Tang Dynasty stirred up chaos and contributed to the civil strife in Xia Kingdom. The west border of Xia Kingdom is even more dangerous. There was an attack from Persia. Although Du Qi sent troops back to help, he faced the counterattack of Brahmans and Kshatriya nobles in Xia Kingdom, as well as the attack of hundreds of thousands of Persian troops. Even if he wanted to guard it, he couldn't defend it. We don't necessarily have to bow our knees and ask Du Qi for peace."

Li Shimin continued: "Abandoning Suzhou, Guazhou, and Shazhou is already my bottom line. I don't believe it. Du Qi dares to attack aggressively if he doesn't solve the problems in the rear. Our Tang Dynasty is unstable internally, and Xia Guo is similar."

Li Yuan didn't speak for a while after hearing it.

thinking about things.

After a while, Li Yuan continued: "Emperor, your idea is good. But I ask you, if Xia Guo, Du Qi's internal

The problem has been solved, how should you deal with it? "

Li Shimin said: "Impossible!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Impossible is not applicable to Du Qi. Once, did you think that Du Qi would become an independent country, but instead attack the Tang Dynasty? You definitely thought it was impossible; once, you would think that, Will you fight against Du Qi, and lose again and again? You must think that it is impossible; once, you would think that a kid in his teens would create a foundation in a short period of time, and even make big Tang

Back and forth?You still think it's impossible. "

A series of words made Li Shimin speechless.

Li Yuan continued: "Emperor, it would be the best if the Persian side could win. It would be the best if the internal affairs of the Xia Kingdom were really chaotic, and it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble. The problem is that no news has been released yet. .Obviously, neither the Persian Kingdom nor the Xia Kingdom have been successful at the moment. I don’t even know what the specific situation is.”

"You are the emperor, you should think about things clearly, you must first

Consider the worst case scenario. "

"If Du Qiping rebelled."

"If Du Qi defeated Persia."

"what should you do?"

Li Yuan said: "When the time comes, how are you going to seek peace with Du Qi. So in everything, you must at least be prepared for the worst. When it comes to the point where Du Qi has the upper hand, you really want to fight with Du Qi to your death, regardless of the rear?"

Li Shimin is also quite talkative.

This time, he was dumbfounded.

Don't know what to say.

Li Yuan said: "This person is most afraid of being too confident in doing things. Too confident is not self-confidence, but conceited. You are a person who came out of the battlefield, so you should understand this truth. Well, the old man and you will not Nonsense. Changsun Wuji will be handed over to this old man, and this battle will lead to peace talks between the two sides."

Li Shimin did not respond.

Because at the moment, giving up Zhangsun Wuji is tantamount to cutting off his own arm.

Li Yuan propped his hands on his knees and stood up slowly. He still hunched his back, lowered his head slightly, looked at Li Shimin who was silent, and said in a deep voice, "I am not discussing with you, but just telling you about this matter." matter."

Li Shimin looked up at Li Yuan and said, "Father, it's impossible

.The auxiliary machine is not only my relative, but also my courtier of Datang.If he had given up the auxiliary machine, how could the son-in-law have the face to meet the Guanyin maidservant, and how to face the civil and military officials.An emperor who can't even protect his own subjects is in vain as a monarch. "

Li Yuan had already turned around to leave, but when he heard Li Shimin's words, he said calmly: "If you want to save Changsun Wuji, then the old man will be killed in the camp when he walks out of this camp. You don't want this Da Tang, anyway Da Tang It's going to be messy, so the old man will take a step first. In case you see

The appearance of Datang being captured. "

brush!

Li Shimin's complexion changed drastically.

He looked at Li Yuan, his cheeks twitched slightly, and the expression on his face was constantly changing. After a while, Li Shimin said: "Father, don't force my son."

At this moment, Li Shimin felt a little hesitant.

Even more helpless.

The emperor who used to be arbitrary, now fell into an unprecedented embarrassment because of the war with Xia Guo, with his father on the one hand and his grandson Wuji on the other, Li Shimin lost ground.Especially this problem was raised by Li Yuan.Moreover, Li Yuan did this not for his personal rights, nor for Li Yuan's own interests, but for Datang.

Li Yuan has reached the end of his life, he may die of illness at any time, and even walk unsteadily, but he still came to the front line.what li yuan did

Everything is selfless, just like this, Li Shimin can't refute Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Li Shimin, do you know why you were estranged from Du Qi at the beginning? From the beginning, you were Du Qi's elder. In the end, there was a gap between you and Du Qi."

Li Shimin said: "Because my minister is the emperor."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Well said, because you are the emperor, you can't consider personal feelings, you can only proceed from the overall situation, you can only consider

Consider the overall situation of Datang.That's why you and Du Qi have everything you have today.In all of this, you can't say that you are wrong, only that time is fate.Now, when it comes to Changsun Wuji, you have to forget that you are the emperor's duty, do you have to consider personal emotions? "

At this time, Li Yuan was more severe than ever before, and he almost scolded: "You are the emperor, you should put the overall situation first. The emperor is a loner, and he can give up everything for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If necessary, you can throw out even the father of the old man. As long as it can protect Datang, the old man will not

complain.So now when it comes to grandson Wuji, don't act like a son and daughter, and let the old man look down on you. "

Li Shimin had already made up his mind after listening. He looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, I understand. Now, I will go to the auxiliary machine and tell him about it."

"No need!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "You don't need to go in person, anyway, you are the monarch. This old man is going to do evil things. Now, you only

Need to sit in the tent and wait for the result.Old man, I will do my best to stop Du Qi's army. "

After finishing speaking, he hunched his back and walked out.

At this moment, Li Yuan, although his back was hunched, was already thin and weak. In Li Shimin's eyes, he was extremely tall, and even Li Shimin had an illusion that his father, the emperor, would face even more serious problems. For the most difficult difficulties, you can also face danger without fear, without any panic.
