Just as Li Shiji and others were discussing how to eliminate Xue Yantuo's 200,000 vitality power, Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an, was also arranged for his personal expedition step by step.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin today specially summoned the Secretary of the Secretariat Yang Shidao, the Secretary of the Secretariat Ma Zhou, and the Grand Secretary of the Chongjiao Hall Zhu Suiliang.

Li Shimin said to the three of them with a heart-warming expression: "Chengqian is trapped in Changze City, and I will also lead the army to personally fight. When life and death are at this time, there are only a few ministers who can stay in Chang'an City to make the country safe."

Yang Shidao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is so important. Your Majesty is awesome. Your Highness is a worldly star of heaven. You will definitely be able to transform danger into a barbarian. Xue Yantuo is just a barbarian who transforms the outside world without knowing the power of heaven. Your Majesty personally conquers the flag and wins the victory. The north and south of the desert are just around the corner. I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty, to be loyal to the crown prince, and to ensure peace in the Tang Dynasty. I will never dare to have two intentions."

Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang also bowed and swore, "I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty, to be loyal to the crown prince, to ensure peace in the Tang Dynasty, and to never have any intentions."

Since Li Shimin had the intention of entrusting his orphans, he must show his loyalty as a minister, otherwise Li Shimin would be in trouble if he thought too much.

Li Shimin stood up with great satisfaction and helped the three of them up one by one, encouraging them: "I entrusted Chang'an to you because I am assured of your ability and loyalty. You just need to do your best."

"I will obey the order!" the three of them said solemnly again.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay! Jingyou and Binwang will go back to the tribe first!"

Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou immediately bowed and said without saying a word. Zhu Suiliang saw them leaving and looked at Li Shimin without saying anything.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and first pulled Zhu Suiliang's hand and patted it gently and asked, "Suiliang thought what happened to Chengqian?"

Zhu Suiliang was shocked when he heard this, but said directly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very talented, but he was trapped by a traitor and was cheated by a traitor..."

Li Shimin waved his hand to signal him to stop when he heard this, and then said with infinite emotion: "Okay! OK! I think so too, but I and the prince are not in Chang'an, so I am afraid that there will be traitors in the court to cause trouble."

Zhu Suiliang's expression turned solemn when he heard this, his eyes ejaculated. It was obvious that if someone dared to make trouble, he would not keep his hand.

Li Shimin saw Zhu Suiliang's expression in his eyes, nodded secretly and said solemnly: "I gave you the Emperor's Sword. If I and Chengqian are not in Chang'an, if someone is planning to betray him, you can make Cheng Zhijie kill him."

When Zhu Suiliang heard that Li Shimin really regarded him as his confidant, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He was cheered up and took two steps back. He gave Li Shimin a big gift with a solemn expression and said to Li Shimin with a trembling voice: "Please rest assured that as long as I have a mouthful, I will never let the treacherous slander succeed."

Li Shimin took a sword from behind and handed it to him. Zhu Suiliang took it with both hands and gave a big gift to Li Shimin again. Seeing Li Shimin waved his hand at him, he took a few steps back and turned away.

Seeing Zhu Suiliang walk out, Li Shimin sat back behind the desk with some fatigue and began to handle official duties.

The left-behind people have decided to think about who to take away.

At a moment, the eunuch came to the palace to report to Duke Li Jing of Guard to come and see him.

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, moved his wrist and said, "Xuan him into the palace!"

At a moment, Li Jing, who was floating in white beard, lowered his head and hunched over, walked towards the hall with a small step. Li Shimin hurriedly raised his hand and said, "There is no need to go to the hall to go to the hall."

Li Jing had already gone to the hall and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "The pharmacist should calm down and give him a seat."

Li Jing bowed again before sitting down on Jindun beside him.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said, "I feel relieved when you see that you are still in good health."

Li Jing hurriedly asked, "Thank you for your concern. The old minister has been very interesting in bringing a group of students in the Military and Political Academy recently. He can eat and sleep, but his body is still the same as before!" As he said that, he stretched out his arms and legs to show that he was in good health.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing with such a emotion, but did not take his words.

Li Jing showed it twice and looked at Li Shimin changing the topic: "I heard that Your Majesty wants to personally attack Xue Yantuo?"

Li Shimin nodded helplessly and said, "Yes! Chengqian was trapped in Changze by Xue Yantuo incompetent. How can I, my master, not stand up for him?"

Li Jing quickly got up and walked into the hall to bow and salute, and said sincerely and enthusiastically: "Since Your Majesty has personally attacked Xue Yantuo, the old minister is willing to follow Your Majesty. Even if you can't be a vanguard general, you can analyze it for Your Majesty for some reason. Please allow it!

As he said that, he solemnly bowed and never got up again.

Li Shimin has been looking at him since Li Jing entered the palace. At this time, he saw Li Jing asking for battle and staring at Li Jing with both eyes. He slowly stood up and walked to Li Jing with a serious expression. Finally, he saw Li Jing in a bending posture and sighed, and helped Li Jing up with both hands and said, "You have made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Now you are over 70 years old. How can I bear to let you suffer from the suffering of wind and frost again?

Chengqian asked you to come out and preside over the Tang Dynasty Military and Political Academy. This year, students have been recruited. You can watch over there in Chang'an!"

Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said movedly: "Thank you for your compassionateness to the old minister. Your Majesty Don't worry, the old minister will definitely run the Military and Political Academy!"

After saying that, he bowed and quit.

Li Shimin felt relieved when he saw Li Jing walk out of the hall. He murmured at the closed door: I have done this with the utmost kindness and righteousness. I hope you don’t let me down.

It turned out that those few words just now determined Li Jing's life and death. Li Shimin wanted to personally conquer Li Chengqian was not in Chang'an, so he was worried that Li Jing would specially summon Li Jing to meet him.

If Li Jing’s response is inappropriate, at the least he will be led by Li Shimin to conquer Xue Yantuo in the wind and snow, at the worst...

Li Shimin let Li Jing go and he felt relieved. He was not what he wanted to harm the heroes. As long as Li Jing did not rebel, he would be willing to leave a good story about the king and the ministers getting along.

Li Shimin was thinking about the eunuch outside the palace and suddenly reported: "His Royal Highness of Wu is asking for a meeting."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this and did not summon him today. Why did Li Ke suddenly come to see him? Is there something big happening?

He was rushed to come in.

A brisk sound of his boots, and the heroic Li Ke walked into Liangyi Hall. Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with extraordinary behavior and felt a dazed in his heart, as if he had seen himself when he looked down on him.

He said intimately: If Ke'er was the prince, he would never be surrounded by Xue Yantuo.

"Sons meet with the father."

Li Shimin's mind was pulled back by Li Ke. Seeing that Li Ke was more and more liked by etiquette, he said with a smile on his face: "Cheer, please be calm!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"You want to follow me to go to war. If you don't prepare well, why should you come to see me again?" Li Shimin rebuked gently.

"I heard from my father that my son received a letter from His Royal Highness from the Crown Prince in the East Palace today. Because it is of great importance, I hurriedly sent someone to the interpreter to my father himself." Li Ke said as he took out a few pieces of paper and held it in his hands.

When Li Shimin heard about Li Chengqian's flying pigeons, he suddenly stood up and held the desk with one hand, stretched out his fingers with the other, poked out half of his body through the desk and said, "Take it up! Quick!"

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly took it from Li Ke and handed it over to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't sit down after receiving the letter. He held the letter with both hands and started to look when he stood.

Li Shimin quickly finished reading the letter, then laughed and said, "Cheng Qian did not disappoint me."

It turned out that in this letter, Li Chengqian told Li Shimin how he dealt with Xue Yantuo in the north. This was also what Li Chengqian agreed to Li Shimin when he left Chang'an City that day.

When he started the war with Xue Yantuo, he informed Li Shimin of sending troops in advance with a letter from flying pigeons.

It’s just that this letter was sent by Li Chengqian when he arrived in Lingzhou. Therefore, Li Shimin’s participation was limited when he destroyed Xue Yantuo, and the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo was still dominated by Li Chengqian.

However, Li Shimin was very happy to know that Li Chengqian was not surrounded and did not care about this for a while.

Li Shimin sat down and read Li Chengqian's letter several times, thinking that the father and son would defeat Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

After a while, he looked up and saw Li Ke still standing in the hall, so he waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do here. You go back and prepare for the battle!" After that, he looked down at the letter.

Li Ke smiled helplessly when he saw this, then his eyes flashed, and he said worriedly: "I heard that my ninth brother is sick, so I want to see him."

Li Shimin lowered his head when he heard this, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes. He didn't look up but just said "um" and agreed.

Li Ke carefully quit the hall.

Li Shimin looked up at the entrance of the hall with expressionless face and asked calmly: "How is King Jin's illness cured?"

An eunuch walked out and knelt in the middle of the hall, and said calmly: "Go back to Your Majesty, several imperial doctors have shown it. Your Highness, the pulse of King Jin, is peaceful and has no major symptoms."

There is no serious illness, Li Shimin knew this was a euphemism of pretending to be sick.

He snorted coldly, "Transfer my will, and the King of Jin will follow me to fight Xueyantuo." With this will, many ministers who were not in harmony with Li Chengqian were summoned by the court to go on the expedition.
