Only then did Li Chengqian find out that his father and his brother had started planning this a few years ago.

"I just learned about this matter, but Lao Shi, if the imperial court sends troops to the Japanese country, the Japanese imperial court will definitely notice it.

And it is very likely that they will object and do something against the city. "Li Shimin came to a conclusion after thinking about it.

This is also easy to understand. If other countries stationed troops in Datang, Li Shimin would definitely not agree.

"Aye, Prince Ji's Mansion will handle this matter on its own. As long as our city in Datang is in danger, it is reasonable for us to send troops to garrison it.

If done well, they will most likely ask us to send troops to the island to help them defend themselves against danger? "

Li Shen had already thought about this. The Japanese country was a servile country. Wouldn't future generations also allow people to garrison troops?

"Are you planning to attack Japan?" Li Shimin was surprised after hearing this.

After all, it is a country with a population of more than one million people.

“We need to wait until the intelligence is gathered before we can make a decision on what method to use.

They only have a few people in total, and the number of troops is limited. When the time comes, they will have plenty of solutions.

Aye, although the Japanese country is small, it has an advantageous geographical location and can serve as a gateway for our Tang Dynasty in the East China Sea.

And there are a lot of minerals there. I heard there are mountains of gold and silver.

Wouldn't it be a pity if this kind of place didn't belong to my Datang City, and it was also to avoid any trouble in the future. "

Li Shen used gold and silver to attract Li Shimin. As expected, Li Shimin was very moved after hearing this.

"Well, let's talk about this after Yuan Zheng is over. Planning a country is not something that happens overnight.

You first build the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Yes, Aye, I will plan this matter carefully later."

Li Shen quickly agreed because he was afraid that his father would ask about paying back the money.

Everyone enjoyed the meal happily, and everyone said that the royal chef at Daji Palace was very good at cooking.

After dinner, Li Shen and Li Chengqian left the Daji Hall.

"Brother, how are you doing lately? Are you very busy?"

Li Shen chatted while walking.

"There are a lot more things than before. I finally realize how difficult it is for Aye. I regret not sharing Aye's worries earlier."

Li Chengqian deeply realized how hard it was to be an emperor.

He gets up early every day and works hard every day to take care of everything. There are countless memorials waiting for him to review.

After exiting the harem, the two separated. Li Shen went to the palace gate to return to Prince Ji's Mansion, while Li Chengqian continued to go to Liangyi Palace to handle official duties.

The days passed quickly, and it was December in a blink of an eye.

These days were calm for both the court and the people, and nothing major happened.

In addition to occasionally entertaining the dozen tribal leaders, Li Shen took care of his children at home.

Li Shen loved his two children very much. He played with them every day, and even built a small ice and snow world in the courtyard just for fun.

A carving master was specially invited to carve the ice cubes into various shapes.

"Your Majesty, Wang Changshi has arrived." Shitou came to report.

Today is the day for Chang Shi's report, and Li Shen changed his daily report to one every ten days.

Unless something big happens, there is no need to tell him about the affairs of the court every day.

Li Shen brought Wang Xuance to the study. He first made a pot of good tea, then leaned on the couch and said to Wang Xuance:

"Sit down and talk, there shouldn't be anything going on in the court.

We are about to reach Yuanzheng, it is best to be calm and calm. "

Wang Xuance saluted Li Shen and then sat down and said:

"Prince Qi, it's not a big deal, but the fact that Song Guogong was demoted a few days ago caused quite a stir."

"Song Guogong?" Li Shen frowned and fell into deep thought...

Wang Xuance slapped his forehead, and the prince came again. Looking at his appearance, he knew that King Ji definitely didn't know who Song Guogong was.

So he reminded:

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Song is Xiao Yu."

"Ah~~~ It turns out to be Xiao Yu, Xuance, please don't add titles when talking about people in the future. There are so many princes in the Tang Dynasty, how do I know who is who?

If you just tell Xiao Yu, wouldn’t I know?

how? What did Xiao Yu do to allow me, Aye, to be demoted? He is not an ordinary person. "

Li Shen is right, Xiao Yu is not an ordinary person. He comes from an imperial family.

His great-great-grandfather was Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, his great-grandfather was Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming, his grandfather Xiao Qi was Emperor Xuan of the Later Liang Dynasty, and his father's name was Kui, the Emperor Ming of the Later Liang Dynasty.

Xiao Yu was granted the title of Prince of Xin'an County at the age of nine, and her sister was the concubine Xiao of Jin Wang Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, also known as the famous Queen Xiao.

Because of his sister, he was entrusted with important tasks in the Sui Dynasty and had a close relationship with the later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, Li Shen also knew that Xiao Yu was related to his grandfather Li Yuan.

Xiao Yu's wife is the niece of Empress Dugu of Wenwen.

Li Yuan is the nephew of Queen Dugu of Wenwen, and Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife are cousins.

When the two were officials in the Sui Dynasty, they had a good relationship.

Later, Li Shen's grandfather Li Yuan raised an army and wrote a letter to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

He immediately granted Xiao Yu the title of Guanglu Doctor, the title of Duke of Song Dynasty, and the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

According to what Li Shen knew, Xiao Yu had been dismissed from the prime minister several times. This time he even had his title reduced because he must have committed something.

Wang Xuance also knew that Xiao Yu was not an ordinary person, but this time Li Shimin was really angry.

"Prince Qi, your Majesty is really angry this time, so he dealt with it like this."

"Oh, tell me what he did to make me, Aye, so angry." Li Shen took a sip of tea and prepared to listen to the story.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Song Dynasty has a arrogant temperament and has always had many disagreements with his ministers. This year, when His Majesty was recuperating from illness, he conspired against His Majesty's impeachment chamber.

It is said that the prime minister and the secretary of the house, the officials under the sect have secretly formed cliques and are disloyal to the majesty and have disloyal intentions.

Your Majesty does not know the details, but he has not yet rebelled.

His Majesty was very unhappy after hearing this, saying that Song Guogong's words were too much. Fang Xiang and others were His Majesty's confidants and should be entrusted with important responsibilities with sincerity.

His Majesty said that although he could not guarantee his hearing and eyesight, he was not so confused yet.

He also reprimanded Song Guogong. Song Guogong was very unhappy. Since then, he has disobeyed His Majesty many times.

Your Majesty missed the old relationship and did not punish him. "

"Then why was he punished this time?" Li Shen interjected and asked.

"It's because Song Guogong told His Majesty in the court that he wanted to become a monk, and Your Majesty agreed. However, who knew that Song Guogong went back on his words in public a moment later.

He said that he had considered it himself and could not become a monk because of the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty was very dissatisfied with his renegade behavior in the court. Then Song Guogong claimed that he was too ill to go to court, or he would not go in to see his majesty when he arrived at the court.

Not long ago, His Majesty couldn't bear it anymore and wrote an edict in handwriting, saying that he did not have the talent to be a prime minister. He was dismissed from his position, all titles and titles, and was demoted to the governor of Shangzhou. "
