Is it a coincidence?

Li Shimin didn't believe it was a coincidence. He had thought that this would be Li Mu's plan. On the one hand, he made Wang Ou disappear in the world, on the other hand, he also pretended to be kidnapped, and then the two ran away together. But he quickly denied this conjecture, because Li Mu's family was still in Chang'an, his mother, his wife, concubine, and his unborn child. He knew Li Mu's character. He once killed his mother because a censor mentioned his mother, and he completely ignored his life. And his feelings for Bai Qiaoqiao, that can be called obedient, just for Wang Ou, to let him give up all this. Li Shimin didn't believe that Li Mu would pay such a great price.

Then, it's just a coincidence?

However, how could a relationship be born overnight? The two must have been in contact for a long time.

Li Shimin seriously recalled his past, but he didn't think so. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that there were too many similar "coincidences" in the past. For example, Wang Ou often went to and from Li Mu's house, in Jingdongji, and in the valley, and she seemed to be there often.

Also, when Li Mu was watching the show in Lichunyuan, she was also there when Li Mu rectified Chang'an City and arranged the "four pillars and eight pillars".

Li Shimin recalled all the things and felt that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry. Li Mu, Li Mu, you kid are too brave. In front of me, to my woman - if Li Mu was present at this time, Li Shimin was really not sure if he would draw his sword and chop him up.

But now, Li Mu's life and death are uncertain. Li Shimin's anger is full of nowhere to be resolved. Two thoughts in his mind are fighting each other. In terms of emotion, he wishes to cut Li Mu into pieces immediately. However, in terms of rationality, he is really worried about Li Mu's safety. Without considering emotional factors, Li Mu's importance to the Tang Dynasty is no longer replaceable. One month after Li Mu left Chang'an, there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the Interior Department. Although Changsun Chong, Xu Ji and others were talented, they were limited to the things taught by Li Mu. They struggled to deal with strange things, and some of them could not handle them.

When Li Mu was there, he was domineering and unreasonable. People from the three provinces and six ministries kept a distance from him. They never dared to argue with him for the same things. Although they were not in line with the rules, they had to admit that his unreasonableness brought a lot of convenience to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was obvious that Changsun Chong, Xu Ji and others did not have such treatment. Even Changsun Chong, as the emperor's nephew and the eldest son of the uncle, few people would give him face. To put it bluntly, it was not qualified.

The same thing is for Li Mu, and the people from the three provinces and six ministries do not even have this idea, because they know that Li Mu has a hundred ways to punish them, take revenge on them, and kill them, and it is inevitable that they will be in chaos. The time when the Censorate offended him and was thrown into feces, the whole of Chang'an was filled with "ye fragrance". Now when I think about it, I still feel chill.

"Forget it, even if you want to kill him, you have to find someone first."

Li Shimin made up his mind, opened his eyes, and said, "High-ranking officials, I will give you an order. Today is the morning court, and let the three provinces and six ministries come to Tai Chi Hall to discuss matters."

"promise."

Eunuch Gao went to pass the imperial eunuchs to serve Li Shimin to wash up. After washing up, breakfast was brought up. Three provinces and six ministries also arrived. Li Shimin gave each person a breakfast meal. Everyone was not polite. They picked up a spoon with Li Shimin and started drinking porridge with snorting.

The breakfast was quiet. Li Shimin shook his hand and took the remaining soup down. He looked at the three provinces and six ministries and spoke, "Is there any news about Li Mu coming back? How are Bingzhou and Dingxiang?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji said, "General Hou Junji set out the day before yesterday, and the vanguard camp will reach 3,000 people in another three days. And the Bingzhou people will arrive today."

“How many people have gone to Bingzhou?”

"Ten thousand people."

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Ten thousand people are just a drop in the bucket. If the Western Turks really advanced eastward, at least 100,000 cavalrymen. Li Jing, what do you think?"

"I agree with Your Majesty's view." Li Jing said, "After defeating the Eastern Turks, Li Ji and I had specially collected news about the Western Turks. According to the nobles, merchants, and merchants from the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks have been strong this year. Their Khan commander Ye Hu claimed to have led hundreds of thousands of people who control Xian, and they merged Tiel in the north, rejected Persia in the west, and joined the south, and dominated the Western Regions. They moved to the royal court to Qianquan in the north of Shi Kingdom, and awarded the title of "Jie Lifa" of the kingdom of the Western Regions, and sent one person to Tutun to supervise and collect tribute. They have become the co-lord of the Western Regions. If he had not been incompatible with his uncle Mohedu and was killed by him, he would have taken the lead before the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks."

"After Mo Hedu killed Tong Ye Hu, he and his son Siye Hu broke out in a battle for power. With the help of Ashina Nishu, Mo Hedu was defeated and killed. In order to prevent Nishu, Siye Hu broke out another civil strife, which delayed the time. Now Nishu has fled to Yanqi, and Siye Hu has completed the unification. It is a time when the troops and horses are strong and the momentum is strong. In this Eastern Expedition, he will definitely exert the power of the country, with at least 100,000 cavalry, far exceeding the momentum of the Eastern Turks."

After hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin felt his head hurt even more and murmured: "Hou Junji led 30,000 imperial guards and 10,000 Li Ji's side, only 40,000 people. There is no danger to defend near Dingxiang. Dingxiang City is a new building and will inevitably not be able to withstand the 100,000 cavalry attacks. Besides, they can bypass Dingxiang and go straight to Hanzhong or Bingzhou. At that time, the Tang Dynasty needs to be prepared for not only the Western Turks, but also whether the tribes of the Eastern Turks will rebel or not-"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing. Li Jing understood what Li Shimin meant and took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, I can go to war at any time."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Love, I don't mean this. What I mean is that if Dingxiang City is broken, I will personally lead the army. At that time, you will be my deputy general and take charge of Hetao to prevent trouble from the Eastern Turkic tribes. At that time, I will bring all the soldiers and generals who can conquer and fight to the battlefield in Longxi. You have no good generals and no strong soldiers, but you must defend for me and cannot let me be attacked from both sides. Do you understand what I mean?"

"His Majesty--"

When everyone heard Li Shimin say this, they left the seat in panic. Wei Zheng said seriously: "Please take back this sentence! As the emperor, your majesty should be in charge of the center. How can you easily say the word "individual expedition"? This is the saying of the destruction of the country. Your Majesty must take back this sentence!"

"Wait for me-"

"Shut up!"
