Chapter 802 Stubborn Li Shimin
Outside Dingzhou city.
Chinese army camp.
Li Shimin held the tin jar and happily spit the foam from his mouth.
Since Li Jing presented the toothpaste and toothbrush, he has completely got rid of the days of gargling with coarse salt.
Whenever this cool feeling slips through his mouth, it can keep him in a good mood all day long.
But today is obviously different.
When the sky turned pale, a disheveled servant, led by Liu Jishu, came straight to Li Shimin.
"Slave Peng Su pays homage to Your Majesty!"
The servant knelt down on his knees skillfully, his body pressed tightly against the ground.
This kind of kneeling ceremony that loses personal dignity is not popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Unless it is the day of the New Year's Eve, or the person performing the ceremony has committed a heinous crime, no one will ever do this.
Seeing this, Li Shimin suddenly felt uncomfortable, squinting his eyes and asked indifferently: "Peng Su, why did the queen send you here?"
Hearing this, Peng Su looked up, kowtowed hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, seven days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of bad people according to His Majesty's order.
His Highness was worried about the government, so that night he led [-] unscrupulous officials to Pingkangfang to arrest the imperial court criminals.
But who would have thought that when searching the Cangxiang Pavilion, it was discovered that this was the chief rudder of the White Lotus Sect.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered a bad person to be a small official..."
"Asshole!!!
How dare Li Gaoming do this! ! ! "
Peng Su detailed everything.
Li Shimin shouted angrily when he heard this.
He could tolerate Li Chengqian taking the opportunity to make trouble, and he could tolerate Li Chengqian disregarding his father and son's family for the sake of the throne.
After all, this is what he taught Li Chengqian about the way of the emperor, and he also set an example in this way.
But no matter what, he would not allow Li Chengqian to collude with the barbarians.
It will not allow Li Chengqian to disregard the overall situation and conspire with Goguryeo and other countries to overthrow the Tang Dynasty when he personally led the army to destroy the country.
If he had been in the capital when the incident happened, Li Chengqian must have been decapitated by now.
No matter how reluctant he is, he will never allow outsiders to think about his own things!
"Peng Su, you are the person next to the queen.
You tell me truthfully, this matter was really done by Yue King Li Chengqian?
Li Siyuan and Wang Junkuo really were ordered by Yue King Li Chengqian to secretly meet with the Tubo Prime Minister and the rebellious White Lotus Sect? "
Li Shimin took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked with a gloomy face.
Peng Su nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and replied timidly: "Return to Your Majesty.
This is what the people in the capital saw with their own eyes, and the Empress also sent people to check it afterward.
The common people all said that when His Highness the Crown Prince searched the Zangxiang Pavilion, Doctor Wang, Chief Li, Tubo Prime Minister, Goguryeo and Japanese envoys, and the leader of the White Lotus Sect met in the building.
When General Cheng led the search, he was indeed attacked by the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, resulting in the death of dozens of unscrupulous officials on the spot.
If His Highness the Crown Prince had known about this earlier, he would never let his soldiers die in vain.
Therefore, the empress asserted that His Royal Highness did not know the truth at the beginning, and the search of the Cangxiang Pavilion was also to blackmail military expenses.
It's just a coincidence that His Highness inadvertently smashed through the good deeds of the White Lotus Sect! "
"Humph!
Happened to crash a good thing? !
I don't believe in such a coincidence! "
Li Shimin snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Liu Jishu and asked, "Is there a cable for Baiqisi?
Was this really the work of Gao Ming, or was it plotted by the thieves behind the scenes? "
Liu Jishu shook his head when he heard the words, and said bitterly, "Return to Your Majesty.
Since your expedition, Baiqisi has used carrier pigeons to communicate with slaves and servants whenever there are major events.
But just seven days ago, the empress suddenly ordered that pigeons are not allowed in the capital.
The servant girl didn't know why the empress was like this, so she specially sent people back to the capital to investigate.
Now it seems that the empress was worried that Tubo and other countries would also use carrier pigeons to send messages, so she blocked the connection between the capital and the outside world. "
"No carrier pigeons allowed?!
Hehe~”
Li Shimin sneered when he heard the words, and his heart became more and more anxious.
When Li Jing told him about the usefulness of the carrier pigeon, he told him that it was a flying slave.
Except for him, Li Jing, who is called the teacher of the Northern Song Dynasty, no one in the world knows the method of flying slaves to send messages!
At that time, he was full of joy because of this, and imagined that in the future, he would use this method to set a trap to harm the army of Goguryeo and other countries.
But now only a few months have passed, Empress Changsun is worried that Tubo and other countries will use this method to convey news.
Obviously, in the Tang court, there must be many internal traitors who sell their ancestors and seek glory.
And he, Li Shimin, worked tirelessly to drive his own conquest, risking his life to open up territory for the Central Plains Dynasty, and someone behind him dared to disregard the interests of the country and secretly told the surrounding barbarians about such methods.
If he were to know who did this, he would definitely tear his body into pieces to vent his hatred.
"call!"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin let out a long breath, turned his head with an ugly face and asked: "Since Shang Nang went to Chang'an in person, it is obvious that Tubo has the intention to send troops.
Peng Su, how do Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui plan to deal with this matter?
How does the prince plan to deal with it? "
Peng Su secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, raised his head and responded with a smile: "Return to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fang and Prime Minister Du have already ordered the summoning of Taoist soldiers in the pass.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say it clearly, the empress guessed that His Highness should have the intention of leading the army. "
"Um?!"
Li Shimin's face changed when he heard it, and he said in a deep voice with a headache: "This rebellious son!!!
I ordered him to supervise the administration of the country, but he actually thought of leading the army to go out!
Throughout the ages, has it ever been heard that the emperor and the prince of a country went to war at the same time?
Does he really not know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and all kinds of evil things are possible! "
"His Majesty!!!
Now that you personally lead the army to conquer Goguryeo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not lead the army.
Otherwise, once things change, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger, and the country and society will be in danger! ! ! "
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from the tent.
Li Shimin raised his eyes when he heard the words, and saw Changsun Wuji walking quickly in his coat, rather out of composure.
Apparently, someone had already informed the old fox about the matter just now.
Facing such a critical moment full of crises, the old fox didn't care about protecting himself wisely.
"Ugh!
How can I not know the words of the auxiliary machine?
But you also know that the prince has always been bold and cunning like a fox.
Even if I immediately order him to stay in the capital, he will definitely have a way to lead the army secretly.
That being the case, instead of forcing him to act hastily, it is better to give him trust and make him fully prepared.
Otherwise, once Tubo really invades the whole country, the prince may be hard to resist! "
Li Shimin shook his head with a sigh, a rare hint of exhaustion was revealed in his words.
Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty!
Now that the situation is critical, it is better to suspend the conquest of Goguryeo and lead the troops back to Beijing first.
It will not be too late to send troops to destroy Goguryeo after the Tubo and Linyi countries are pacified in the future! "
"No!!!"
Li Shimin flatly refused when he heard the words.
Then he looked into the distance with a cold face, gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I heard that the prince often teaches Qingque: There is no turning back when you shoot a bow!
Now that an army of one hundred thousand is going out with me, how can we give up halfway and humiliate my Datang momentum!
And I believe in the prince, he will never go out without preparation.
And in his Su family's dock, there must be a hole card to save his life.
Otherwise, how dare this rebellious son fight against me again and again! "
"Hehe~
What His Majesty said is absolutely true! "
Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and echoed, "However, Your Majesty, this incident is extremely dangerous.
Weichen thought it was better to stay all the way to guard Youzhou, and the rest of the army should rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible! "
Li Shimin shook his head resolutely when he heard the words, waved his hands and said firmly: "I believe in the prince, he will not let me down!
But there is some truth in what you said, Tubo must be guarded against.
Immediately order the army to pull out the camp and set up the camp, and order the army from all walks of life to send troops immediately!
After three months, I want to invite all my lovers in Anshi City! "
"This……
The minister obeys the order! "
