Chapter 262 Speak with force

Seeing the ministers leaving Li Shimin taking a few deep breaths, he picked up Li Chengqian's memorial and looked down. After only a few lines, he threw the memorial on the table in annoyance.

The eunuch in the hall saw this and didn't even dare to breathe. He carefully stood in the hall waiting for the order of the Marquis Li Shimin.

"Go and tell me that Duke Shen and Duke Liang will come to see me!" Li Shimin ordered the eunuch in the hall in a deep voice.

At a moment, Duke Shen Gao Shilian and Duke Liang Fang Xuanling came together. The two saluted Li Shimin and sat down left and right. Seeing Li Shimin with a dark face, they only looked at the little bit in front of them without saying a word.

Li Shimin looked at these two trusted ministers whom he was very familiar with and stopped hiding and said directly: "The two Qing families have also seen it today, and the situation of the prince has been completed."

Li Shimin stopped to see Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling still looked at his nose and nose, as if an old monk had entered into meditation. He then said hatefully: "The Eastern Palace has stabilized the court and stabilized the world naturally with peace. This was originally a good thing, but the prince was too radical in his youth in state affairs. What should he do?"

Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling both sighed when they heard this. Li Chengqian's position as crown prince was still in danger a year ago. They kept silent because they were worried about the turmoil of the court, and even defended Li Chengqian from all sides.

But now, Li Chengqian not only has a firm foothold in the government and the country, but has reached the point where he can compete with Li Shimin on the general trend.

Both of them lost their power in the rise of Li Chengqian. After a year, Li Chengqian has reached an unattainable trend.

After a while, Gao Shilian spoke: "Although the Crown Prince follows Qin Shihuang in many ways, he is not Qin Shihuang after all. As long as His Majesty does not issue an order to recruit civilians, it will not be possible to start either by building the Great Wall or building a straight road.

However, according to what Yuchi Gong said, the Crown Prince summoned all divisions to establish his authority, and it was unknown whether each division either resisted or asked His Majesty to come forward."

Fang Xuanling was secretly shocked when he heard this. Gao Shilian said this calmly, as if he was unable to control Li Chengqian.

But the key point is to remind Li Shimin that as long as he disagrees with everything Li Chengqian said, everything he does will be in vain in the end.

Li Shimin frowned and hesitated and said, "Although this time, Chengqian just made great contributions to destroy Xue Yantuo. If he lost his prestige inside and outside, it would be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty..."

Gao Shilian smiled calmly when he heard this, "I have forgotten that the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, and should not hurt his prestige..."

Fang Xuanling watched Li Shimin's brows gradually spread out and hurriedly said, "After this battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows all his mind and wisdom. As long as His Majesty is firm in his heart, no one dares to act rashly in the East Palace."

"Yes" Li Shimin turned his head and saw Fang smiling and feeling enlightened.

Yes, even after that, he hid Li Chengqianxue in the Eastern Palace. Until Li Chengqian needed to succeed to the throne, no one dared to underestimate Li Chengqian, and the Tang Dynasty was still his.

But if Li Chengqian is allowed to keep making trouble outside, will he follow his father's footsteps?

Although the Chinese New Year has passed, the weather is still cold. The snow before the Chinese New Year has not melted yet, but the leaders from various ministries who came to the Kongduigou Camp to celebrate the achievements have arrived one after another.

With the arrival of representatives of various ministries, Li Chengqian was busy day by day in Kongduigou camp.

However, Li Chengqian was also clear about the ministers who were there collectively opposed his governance of Hetao, but for some reason, Li Shimin refused his edict.

Li Shimin and Xingzai officials were almost indifferent to what Li Chengqian was doing, which made Li Chengqian very confused and asked Xu Jingzong to analyze the matter.

Li Chengqian first told Xu Jingzong about his memorial to Li Shimin and his reaction to Xingzai.

"Sir Xu thought His Majesty was to abide by the Lone King or had other intentions." Li Chengqian asked his doubts.

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and knew that he had an answer in his heart, so he answered truthfully: "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Oh" Li Chengqian became serious. He also knew that Li Shimin could not easily agree with his opinion, but he could not guess the specific reasons and response methods.

Seeing Li Chengqian getting serious, Xu Jingzong hurriedly started to analyze and said, "No matter how much we do, we must nod our heads there. If His Majesty does not nod in the end, we may offend people and become a joke."

When Li Chengqian heard Xu Jingzong say "We" at once, he was Li Chengqian alone. At that time, he really did everything and Li Shimin refused, and he would inevitably be majestic in front of his internal and external ministers.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian didn't realize that his prestige and power had reached a point where Li Shimin was unwilling to be stubborn. He just thought that Li Shimin was dark in his heart. He actually had a conspiracy with his own son, the Crown Prince when dealing with the barbarians in the north.

He himself didn't think about when he had treated Li Shimin as me since he traveled through time.

At this moment, Li Chengqian understood Li Shimin's purpose, and sneered on his face, looking at Xu Jingzong and said, "Give Xue Rengui the order to order him to prepare for breaking through!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Xu Jingzong was shocked and wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed his face again as he looked at Li Chengqian's face.

The Tang Dynasty and the Mobei Grassland combined a total of 300,000 to 400,000 troops confronted and negotiated. It turned out that Xue Yantuo's army besieged Xue Rengui had long retreated to the north of Changze City. At this time, ordering Xue Rengui to break through was actually the meaning of starting a war.

In history, it took several years for the Tang Dynasty to destroy Xue Yantuo. At that time, the tribes in Mobei had been completely destroyed. Facing the Tang Dynasty, there was no room for negotiation. Therefore, when Xue Yantuo destroyed the tribes in Mobei, they rushed to flatter Li Shimin, requested the Tang Dynasty to send officials to govern them, and requested the Khan Road in Chaotian...

Although Li Chengqian had already broken through Xueyantu Khan's tent and captured a group of Xueyantuo nobles, including Yi Nan, the 200,000 coalition forces of each tribe did not suffer any losses. The most important thing is that their foundation in Mobei was also intact, so the tribes in Mobei who followed Bazhuo naturally wanted to sell Bazhuo for a good price.

But although the civil servants want to end the war through negotiations, they have not made any contributions to the armies sent by Li Shimin. How could they easily allow the troops in Mobei to get benefits for free?

This is why the tribes in the northern Mo were not focused on negotiating with the Tang Dynasty until now after Xue Yantuo Khan's tent was broken.

Since Li Chengqian wanted to defeat the disabled Mobei and manage Hetao, he could not hand over all the negotiation power to Li Shimin. But the problem is that Li Shimin didn't ask him to discuss how to negotiate, so he could only speak out with force!
