Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Yes, I am talking about him. Zhi loses his mind. Why is he in Xue Yantuo? Shouldn't he be stationed at the Anxi Protectorate? To resist Yanqi."

Li Shen asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, this minister is not clear. Chang'an has not received the transfer order, and we cannot monitor the military camp in Anxi." Wang Xuance replied.

"It seems that Aye's attack on Xue Yantuo was a secret order given by Zhi Husili, otherwise the news would not have spread.

Is this to conceal the fact that Yanqi deceived Xue Yantuo? Or deceiving others? Li Shen asked.

"Your Majesty, there is actually another possibility. It is a document written directly by a subordinate, not an imperial edict. Not many people will know about this kind of thing."

Analysis by Wang Xuance.

"Well, well, it's not that important to us to hold on to our thoughts.

However, I guess that if there is civil strife in Xue Yantuo, our products may be affected.

How do you think we can recover the losses? "Li Shen touched his chin and started thinking.

"My lord, I don't know this. Since they are in civil strife, it must be unsafe, and the caravan generally won't go." Wang Xuance shook his head.

"They have several khans now, and they will definitely attack each other. By the way, Xuance, do you know what is the most profitable in the world?" Li Shen asked.

"I don't know."

"Weapons and armor. This is a hugely profitable thing." Li Shen said mysteriously.

"My lord, you are not going to sell the sword to Xue Yantuo, are you? If the censor finds out about this, my lord will be in great danger.

This is contraband and a serious crime. "Wang Xuance was surprised that his own prince was so courageous.

"Well, what you said makes sense. The danger is too great. We need to find a backer." Li Shen nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, you don't want to cooperate with His Majesty to sell weapons, do you?"

"Huh? Xuance, what a great idea. You are right. Our palace is cooperating with Aye to sell weapons.

Xuance, you are really resourceful. "Li Shen clapped his hands.

"..." Wang Xuance suddenly felt that he was in danger now, and he doubted whether His Majesty would kill him if he found out.

"Let's go, I'll go to the palace. Xue Yantuo is not far from death. We must let them shine in the final death."

Li Shen rushed to the palace as soon as he had the idea. He was worried that if he was too late, he would make a lot of money.

What he needs most now is money.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji is outside asking for an audience." Li Shimin was reading a book, drinking tea, and living a leisurely life in his greenhouse.

Now all non-essential matters are left to the prince.

"Let him come over." Li Shimin said.

After a while, Li Shen walked into the greenhouse. This is a greenhouse specially built by Li Shen for Li Shimin. It is surrounded by glass and has a flue underground. It is used for local heating. It is very warm inside.

"See you, Aye." Li Shen said in his heart.

"Well, are you here for business?" Li Shimin didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Aye, I miss you so much. Come and take a look." Li Shen said sincerely.

Li Shimin's health is now very good. Li Shen predicted it in advance and asked Sun Simiao to nurse him back to health.

"Okay, how can I not know your virtues? Tell me, if you have anything to do, don't delay my reading." Li Shimin remained unmoved.

"Well, Aye, I want to get a deal, and I want to cooperate with Aye. I wonder if Aye is interested?" Li Shen said cautiously.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Li Shimin put down the book in his hand and looked up at Li Shen.

"This is the first time you have actively approached me for cooperation. Could it be that the sun has risen from the west? Or are you thinking of some crooked idea to defraud me of my money?"

"No, no, I definitely didn't lie to Aye." After hearing this, Li Shen waved his hands repeatedly, regretting that his image was so bad.

"Haha, tell me what business you have?" Li Shimin said with a sneer.

"Aye, I heard that there was a great victory in the north. Our Tang army was so powerful that our horses trampled on the barbarians on the grassland to show the power of our country. It frightened Xue Yantuo Khan Duomi and fled. This is really..."

"Tell me the important points!" Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's flattery and asked him to tell the important points.

Li Shen smiled awkwardly and could only get straight to the point and continued:

"Yes, yes, I want to say that they must be in civil strife now. Why don't we, the Tang Dynasty, take this opportunity to continue to sow discord, expand their conflicts, and let them fight on their own first?

After both sides suffer losses, we, Datang, will take action to clean up the mess. "

"Humph, it's this strategy again, why don't you change it? Sow discord, create conflicts, and reap the benefits. You are quite skillful in using these." Li Shimin said with disdain.

Li Shen has always had this routine, and nothing else.

"Aye, no matter what his plan is, as long as he tries it every time, it will work, and we can also benefit from it." Li Shen argued.

"Profits, what interests are you talking about?"

"Aye, I want to contact some of their little khans, sell them weapons, and let them fight first." Li Shen replied.

"Buy weapons?" Li Shimin frowned. Isn't this valuing the enemy? What if their civil strife ends and they attack the Tang Dynasty with weapons from the Tang Dynasty?

"Do you know what the consequences of selling him weapons are? Have you ever considered what would happen if they hold weapons to resist our Tang army?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

"Aye, of course the iron they sell is not the kind of iron used by our Datang Army, as long as it has the same strength as their own weapons.

Their iron-making technology is so far behind that of our Tang Dynasty, and they cannot break through our armor at all.

We can exchange them for a large amount of cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver, and iron ore. "Li Shen persuaded hard.

"Let me think about this." Li Shimin said, this matter must be considered carefully.

But Li Shen couldn't wait any longer. One day late would be a day late to make money.

"Aye, if we do this, we can not only let them fight to the death, but also bring us huge profits, why not do it?

Aye, think about Xue Yantuo's horses. Wouldn't it be good for us to buy back some more and expand our cavalry? "

Li Shen persuaded.

"Did you know that the ministers in the DPRK may not agree to this matter, and even if they agree, it will be done by the court and you will not be allowed to do it.

You should know that people from aristocratic families have been targeting you, how could they let you do this? Li Shimin said,

What Li Shimin said was true. What Li Shen was doing now should have been done by the imperial court.

"This..." Li Shen was stunned after hearing this. He was so excited that he forgot about this. Even though he is a prince, he does not represent the court.

The courtiers could veto this matter on the grounds of distrust, but just saying that they were afraid of Li Shen colluding with Xue Yantuo would not pass.

Li Shen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. However, he had a bad idea, so Li Shen whispered:

"Aye, how about we do it secretly."

(There is a transition between these two chapters and we begin to sort out the materials from the 20th year of Zhenguan.

And I discovered something. When I looked up information on the Internet, what came up was actually my own novel.

It's crazy.

Also, the defeat of Xue Yantuo is true and has historical records. )
