Li Chengqian did not give them any long time to think, and directly interrupted them lightly and said, "It should be said that the Lone King is clear, and we can be regarded as a match between the king and the minister. If you are willing to help the Lone King achieve such great achievements, you can naturally win the wife and son in history and leave a name.

If you don’t dare or don’t want to leave tomorrow, you can leave with the Yuanzhou Governor Zhang Kongzhi and return to Chang'an."

When the ministers heard this, they were stunned. This was not an ordinary conversation. This was the great event of the national affairs of the country that had been discussed with them with all their hearts and hearts.

How can you let him hesitate?

Su Dingfang and others quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee at Li Chengqian, shouting: "I swear to follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the death."

Even Xuanzang folded his hands together and bowed and said, "I am willing to spread Buddhism here."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, his eyes flashed across their faces one by one, and finally looked at Yuchi Gong, who was still standing aside in a daze, and said expressionlessly: "What are the plans of Duke E?"

The others also looked at Yuchi Gong and waited for him to answer.

Yuchi Gong was stunned, and then he realized that in this tent, Li Chengqian was the king and he was the minister.

By the way, Yuchi Gong agreed with Li Chengqian's plan very much, and he was willing to follow Li Chengqian to make another contribution. However, he followed Li Chengqian north to Lingzhou this time and was entrusted by Li Shimin. In addition to protecting Li Chengqian's safety, if Li Chengqian did something wrong, he would also report it to Li Shimin in time.

Yuchi Gong thought for a long time before kneeling down on one knee and pondering, "I am serving in front of the Prince's Hall according to Your Majesty's order, and I will be ordered by His Highness to act."

Li Chengqian smiled indifferently, stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Since Duke of E also thinks he should be dispatched by the orphan king, then you should not report to His Majesty what we are discussing today."

"Uh..." Yuchi Gong's face turned red when he heard this, and he was upset and didn't know how to explain.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian felt funny and said to him with a smile: "I know this has nothing to do with rumor and spy--"

"Your Highness, my son..." Yuchi Gong heard the rumor and the spy and hurriedly asked for an explanation, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian's hand.

"It's just that my father doesn't worry about me, so I'll worry more.

But this matter is related to the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty. You have sent too many creed workers, so it would be bad if it is leaked.

But don't worry, this matter is of great importance. The Lone King will report to the father with a password."

"Oh!" Yuchi Gong almost couldn't stand and felt very disappointed.

Considering that this place was not far from Lingzhou, Li Chengqian repaired it on the grounds that the rebellion in Xiazhou had not been put down.

While sending various information to the capital, he commanded the government orders of Chang'an City to be issued as he hoped, while monitoring the Turkic Yuanzhou Department nearby.

----------------

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the hottest time of the year. In previous years, even when Li Shimin arrived at Jiucheng Palace, he would feel stuffy and difficult to deal with, and he would even get sick due to poor spirits.

However, because of the air conditioner box made by Li Chengqian this year, Li Shimin lived in Tai Chi Palace without feeling bitter. He could handle government affairs with all the ministers of the Secretariat in Liangyi Palace every day.

When dealing with government affairs, Li Shimin often missed Li Chengqian who was far away in Yuanzhou. In the past, he went out to fight and Li Chengqian stayed in Chang'an, because Chang'an City was relatively safe, so he didn't care much about Li Chengqian. This time, Li Chengqian went to the north to Li Shimin, but he was really worried about his safety.

Fortunately, I often received news from Li Chengqian, and knew that they were safe and sound, so Li Shimin could handle government affairs in Chang'an with peace of mind.

On this day, Li Shimin and officials from the Secretariat reviewed the memorials in the Liangyi Hall.

The eunuch reported that the Taichang Chief Deng Su, who was sent to Goguryeo, was sent to Chao, and Li Shimin summoned him in Liangyi Hall.

"I'll tell Your Majesty that Goguryeo Gaisuwen is a wolf-like ambition and kills his king to be loyal to national affairs. He will sooner or later be troubled by the Tang Dynasty. I ask Your Majesty to increase troops in Huaiyuan Town to maintain power in Goguryeo."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded and said, "Your family is not worried about it. It is useless to increase the number of hundreds and one thousand troops from Goguryeo away from the Tang Dynasty.

As the saying goes: If people who are far away do not accept it, then they will cultivate their moral character and I will let him go today."

Li Shimin was thinking about personally rushing Goguryeo, and it was not advisable to make it public now, so he went through it vaguely.

Deng Su had already reported on the mission, and when he saw that his opinion was not adopted, he retreated.

Li Shimin also dealt with many government affairs today and was about to scatter the court and go to the back garden to appreciate the lotus, but saw the eunuch coming in to report: "I will report to Your Majesty, and Yan Shigu, the Grand Secretary of the Chongjiao Hall, has submitted a memorial from His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Shimin was happy when he heard this and said, "Hurry up and announce him to enter the palace."

At a moment, Yan Shigu entered Liangyi Hall. After the ceremony, he presented the memorial written by Li Chengqian. After reading it at a glance, Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "What a group of unfamiliar wolf cubs."

The ministers below looked at Yan Shigu in surprise and doubtless, before Yan Shigu could speak, Li Shimin signaled the eunuch to pass on Li Chengqian's memorial.

Yang Shidao, Ma Zhou and others looked at each other after looking at each other. Yang Shidao said carefully: "The rebellion of the Lanshan tribe of the Turks has been quelled, and His Highness the Crown Prince has also been guarded by the Sixth Order of the Eastern Palace. It seems that it is not appropriate to give the power to control the governor's offices in the northern part."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. He just saw that the Turkic Lanshan tribe dared to rebel and attack Li Chengqian, so he was so angry that he was so angry that he came.

They all forgot that the key content of Li Chengqian's writing of this memorial was to have the military power of the Lingzhou Grand Governor's Office in Hetao, Yuanzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and thirteen small Governor's Offices.

When Li Shimin heard that Yang Shidao actually disagreed with Li Chengqian's control of the governor's offices to protect himself, he immediately said angrily: "The Crown Prince's State's Deputy Secretary is extremely safe, and it is natural to control the local soldiers wherever he goes."

Seeing that Yang Shidao did not say the key points, Ma Zhou hurriedly went out and added: "As Your Majesty said, if anyone commits rebellion, the prince's carriage is in danger, the army should go to the rescue according to the prince's order. If he dares to delay, he should be punished by his clan, so there is no need to give the prince another right to control his power."

Ma Zhou said it very clearly where Li Chengqian was in danger, and the military and civilian governments should try their best to protect him, so there is no need to give Li Chengqian the right to control himself.

When Li Shimin thought about it, he realized that when Li Chengqian left Chang'an, he brought five or six thousand troops. The general Central Governor's Mansion was not as many as his. With these elite soldiers, he could withstand for a while no matter what danger he encountered, and then ordered the dispatch of troops to rescue the troops, who dared not to go?

Although he could figure out these things, Li Shimin did not doubt that Li Chengqian had other purposes for military power.

He said, "I will think about this matter again."

But you don’t have to worry too much. The total number of soldiers and horses in the Governor’s Office of the various states is only tens of thousands. Could it be that Chengqian dares to attack Chang’an?”

This made Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou dare not reconcile. They were just worried that Li Chengqian would get military power to cause trouble in the north, and did not doubt that Li Chengqian dared to rebel.

Li Shimin was in a very bad mood when he received such news. He stood up and was about to walk out, but when he saw the eunuch hurried in, he said unhappily: "What's the matter?"

The eunuch was frightened and said, "Go back, your Majesty has an urgent matter to the Ministry of War. Li Shangshu asked for a meeting."

When Li Shimin heard that Li Shiji had something urgent, he felt a slump and hurriedly sat down and said, "Let him come in."

As soon as Li Shiji walked into Liangyi Hall, he was about to salute Li Shimin and shouted: "Don't hurry up and say anything."

Li Shiji quickly stood up and said, "I heard from His Majesty the Ministry of War today that he received a memorial from Li Simo because it was a serious matter. The minister had to ask for a rash look."

When Li Shimin heard that it was Li Simo's memorial, he was angry and opened his eyes wide and said loudly: "He still has a memorial on his face and apologizes, and take it to me to see..."

The eunuch hurriedly handed Li Simo's memorial to Li Shimin. When Li Shimin took the memorial and opened it, his chest was undulating and his breathing was heavy. He was obviously very annoyed by Li Simo.

But as he watched, his emotions changed, especially when he saw Li Chengqian ordering Cheng Wuting to behead a thousand Lanshan generals and their families and even those who looked vicious, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Although Li Shimin came out of the battlefield with mountains of corpses and blood, killing the enemy during war is completely different from killing the surrender after defeating. From his actions against the Turks and Xueyantuo after surrendering, he does not like to kill the surrender.

After a while, Li Shimin took Li Simo's memorial to the ground and said, "Look at him, he is still slandering Chengqian!"

The eunuch quickly picked it up and sent it to Yang Shidao. Yang Shidao looked at it with a glance and said in his mind that it seemed like something that His Royal Highness could do.

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly after reading it. Li Chengqian's own memorial only said lightly: After the army broke into Lanshan tribe, the chief evil was beheaded, and the followers went to Jiannan Jiaowang to control the logging and shipbuilding.

Of course, Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou would not say much about these things that Li Chengqian had done. The point is that Li Chengqian directly took the remaining two or three thousand herdsmen of the Lan tribe under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

This court must have a statement, otherwise the Turkic nobles who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty must have ideas.

At this time, Li Shiji also read the memorial of Li Chengqian and said in a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty thinks that the people in the northern part of Qiang and Hu are strong, and the prince's status is noble and should not stay for a long time. I also ask Your Majesty to surrender and decree to the Prince to return to the court."

Ma Zhou: "I will discuss it!"

Master Yang said: "I will also discuss it!"

Li Shimin saw Li Shiji and the other two feeling embarrassed. He was also thinking of using Li Chengqian to destroy the marriage between Datang and Xue Yantuo. How could he recall Li Chengqian now?

But he was also a little worried that Li Chengqian would make trouble in the north and ended up being out of control.

"Your Majesty must not do this!" While Li Shimin was hesitating, Liu Shi, the clan's servant, stood up.

Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Xian, but Liu Xian didn't care. Seeing Li Shimin signaling him to continue, he continued: "Your Majesty and the Turkic clan have surrendered to our Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. They have raised strong soldiers and horses on the border of the Tang Dynasty over the years. However, they only resisted Xue Yantuo for our Tang Dynasty for three years, and then retreated to the south of the river on the excuse, which shows that their loyalty to our Tang Dynasty is limited."

When Li Shimin heard this, he remembered what Li Chengqian said before leaving, and could not help but nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Shi looked at the others proudly before continuing: "Although His Highness the Crown Prince dealt with the rebellion of Lanshan tribe this time, this is also a way for Lanshan tribe to kill him. If the Turkic tribes have to fight against the Tang Dynasty, then it will be amazing to keep them."

"What Liu Zhongshu said is reasonable, but the safety of His Royal Highness should not be underestimated. You should first return to the court and then make a decision." Li Shiji still insisted on his own point of view.

Liu Shi said tit-for-tat: "The safety of Your Highness of the Crown Prince is of course important, but I think that you should increase your troops at this time and not summon Your Highness to return to the court. Otherwise, the Turks would think that our Tang Dynasty would not dare to touch them, and they would be more restrained."

Li Shimin was very confused when he saw everyone. For the sake of Li Chengqian's safety, he was the best choice to recall him now.

Because even if Li Chengqian has no problem with his life safety, it would be bad if he failed to do this matter.

But firstly, Li Chengqian was obviously unwilling to return to the court, and secondly, Li Shimin himself did not want Li Chengqian to lose his prestige in front of the Turks, so he was in a dilemma.

Yan Shigu, who had been standing next to him, came out at this time and said, "Speak to Your Majesty, and His Highness the Crown Prince also sent back a memorial written in a password. When I came to Tai Chi Palace, I had already handed it over to Eunuch Bai. Eunuch Bai will be sent immediately after the memorial was translated. Your Majesty might as well read His Highness the Crown Prince's memorial before making a decision."

Li Shimin heard this and said, "Then let's take a look."

Not long after, the old ghost came to Liangyi Hall and presented Li Chengqian's password memorial. Of course, the content inside was not what he said to Yuchi Gong, who wanted to deal with the entire Turkic clan.

Instead, he made it clear that he would appease the Turks in the future, and then after he gained the power to control the governor's office, he forced the Turks to fight with Xue Yantuo and planned to win over the Qiang people of Shangdang.

After reading Li Chengqian's plan, Li Shimin thought it was feasible, so he silently handed the memorial to Li Shiji.

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin understood that Li Shimin had agreed to Li Chengqian's request in his heart. Although he was still worried that Li Chengqian would make trouble, he did not dare to say more.

So on that day, Li Shimin issued an order to control the troops of the seventeen governors' offices from Lingzhou as the crown prince.
