Chapter 84 Li Shimin is very injured

"Please give a clear understanding of the general of the country!" Ma Mengming said sincerely: "The lord of Gaochang is kind-hearted and has been working hard since he succeeded to the throne. He has been safe in the territory and the common people are rough. He only wants to protect himself. Gaochang is in a corner and has no intention of competing for the world. Now the lord of Tang is wise and the world is returned to his heart. Gaochang is not left behind. He plans for the common people and decides to surrender himself to the vassal states, and he will do good deeds to the Tang Dynasty and to stop the troops and the people. In the future, the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang will be harmonious and will abandon military power forever..."

Chen Ying sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Watching Ma Lingyin is also a person who is familiar with poetry and books. How could he not know that under the sky, whether it is the king's land, or the king's ministers? Since ancient times, the Western Regions have been the territory of our China, and the gods are inviolable. The Qu family has been guarding Gaochang and is not changed to Hu customs. If the Hu surname is not changed, it will be of great significance. My emperor is kind and will definitely not kill them all. He can protect the Gaochang lineage and inherit the inheritance of the king. Since he wants to surrender, he should not play any writing games in front of the general!"

Qu Wentai looked as if he was ashen, broke free from Ma Mengming's pull, and rushed towards Chen Ying.

How could Ma Mengming let Qu Wentai be arrogant in front of Chen Ying? Once Chen Ying annoys, he will send troops from Gaoche City and will definitely be able to reach Gaochang City within three days. At that time, people will inevitably suffer.

Chen Ying looked at Qu Wentai coldly and motionless. In fact, in Gaoche Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Ying was stationed with a total of 300 guard infantry regiments, not to mention that there were masters such as Ashinasmo, Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang beside Chen Ying at this time.

Not to mention a mere Qu Wentai, even if he was asked to assassinate Chen Ying, the most powerful general in Gaochang Kingdom, to the future, he would definitely come in and lie out.

Ma Mengming pulled Qu Wentai in a crying voice and said, "Your Highness, please calm down your anger!"

In fact, Ma Mengming was a rat in the bellows at this time, and he was in a dilemma. He neither dared to offend Chen Ying nor dared to offend Prince Qu Tai.

Qu Wentai looked at dozens of sharp arrows with cold light in the field and aimed at him, especially dozens of Tang army soldiers looking at him with murderous aura, making Qu Wentai dare not move.

Ma Mengming looked at Qu An and said to Chen Ying: "Gaochang State surrendered to Tang, and it was sincere. Gaochang State was willing to serve Tang with loyalty. I hope that I, Tang, would treat Gaochang State with a kind heart, and do not cause weapons to cause destruction in the world... There is no country in the world that will not perish for a thousand years. For a grand career, it will cause suffering to thousands of people. It is not a blessing for the people, but a sinner for the ages... There is no one in the world who will not perish for a hundred years. If the Tang State wants to force Gaochang State with force, then the upper and lower countries of Gaochang State will be united from the king to the people, and they will unite and laugh at them all, which will bring shame to the world for generations."

"Everyone is a city, and everyone will fight... Haha." Hearing this, Chen Ying's smile became stronger. He turned to Su Dingfang and said, "General Su, I ordered you to be the vanguard general, and lead the 9th Zhaowu army to join the army. He will set up the camp tomorrow morning and the troops will be sent to Gaochang!"

Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard this, and clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"

As he said that, Su Dingfang carried the Pojian knife and the bow and arrow on his back, walking towards the door.

Looking at this scene, Ma Mengming wanted to slap himself in the mouth. His so-called unity and fighting is just a remark. He never thought that Chen Ying really issued an order to send troops.

Ma Mengming knelt in front of Chen Ying with a pounce, and said in tears: "Gaochang State surrendered to Tang to stop the war and nourish the people. He is also the king of Tang, who is a benevolent and virtuous ruler, and he will not treat the people of Gaochang so he has a heart to return home. Now Gaochang is obedient and submits to his subordinates, hoping that I, King Tang, can respect the king of Gaochang as father and son, and will always be harmonious and not start the war. Otherwise..."

Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and said lightly: "Ma Lingyin, you have a very sharp word. Do you want to say that Gaochang has been very benevolent for decades of benevolent policies, and now the desert is natural and dangerous, hundreds of thousands of people are relied on, Gaochang City is strong, and the ministers are relied on, and even though the Tang army is strong, there is no need to be afraid."

Ma Mengming had already sweated coldly as he heard this.

Chen Ying looked down at Ma Mengming and said, "Ma Lingyin, I am a honest general. He is always open-minded and never hides it. Even if you say that the world is broken today, it is useless. Since I am here, I will not come empty-handed. If I surrender, I will protect the four counties and 18 counties of Gaochang State. If I do not surrender, I will see if your Gaochang State is united and the king and ministers are united."

Only then did Ma Mengming realize that Chen Ying was determined to destroy Gaochang Kingdom. This was the sorrow of a small country and the most helpless choice.

...

If you have no choice, it is Li Shimin who is also helpless. He was determined to lead the army to fight and make achievements, but Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng did not allow him to lead the battle, but only gave him an official position as the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling. This Secretary of the Shangshu Ling was the de facto prime minister in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. However, Li Shimin, the Shangshu Ling, was empty. First of all, whether it was the Three Provinces or the Six Ministry, since Liu Wenjing's death, there was no foreign aid in Li Shimin's court.

Within the Shangshu Province, he had no one of the 21 key departments, including Pei Ji, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and the six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors.

Li Shimin is a clay bodhisattva in a temple, so Li Shimin was very depressed. Li Yuan proposed that Li Shimin be the general manager of Liangzhou. Li Jiancheng retorted Li Yuan's proposal on the grounds that the Secretary of State, the general manager and the six ministries, and the person in charge of the house must be in conflict and must not leave lightly.

Even if you go to Liangzhou to become the chief supervisor of Liangzhou, it is always thousands of times better than being a decoration in Chang'an City. In desperation, Li Shimin summoned Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xie Yingdeng, Niu Junda, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang and other confidants to drink in Chengqian Palace.

Everyone was very happy to drink and chat. But Li Shimin had something to worry about, and the more he drank, his head became more and more anxious, and his head gradually became turbid. Li Shimin suddenly stood up, walked to the scene, shouted to Lei Yongji, "Go and get my spear, I want to dance my spear!"

Changsun Wugui, who was standing behind the screen, looked at this scene and felt very caring. She ordered the maid beside her, "Go and bring the sobering soup to Your Highness!

A maid responded and went with the soup.

Changsun Wugui winked at Changsun Wuji who was sitting outside.

When Changsun Wuji saw Changsun Wugui wink at him, he quietly stood up and came behind the screen.

Changsun Qu whispered: "Second brother shouldn't have invited these people today, and you won't persuade him!"

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness is depressed. Besides, these people are your highness's old friends. If you don't talk about state affairs today, there should be no trouble!"

Changsun Wugui shook his head and said, "In different troops in the capital, my second brother is now at the forefront of the storm, so it's better to restrain himself. My uncle asked my brother to go to the mansion today to talk."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and the generals who were still drunk, and smiled and said, "Guanyin maid, it's too late today!"

Changsun Wugui's face showed a gentle anger: "No matter how late I am, I will go, my uncle will wait for you!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned.

At this moment, Lei Yongji suddenly rushed into the hall and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Princess Pingyang, please see you!"

Li Shimin danced his spear and was in a state of excitement. He said angrily: "No one will see the king of Japan today!"

Lei Yongji had no choice but to retreat outside the hall.

When Lei Yongji was about to retreat to the gate of the hall, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Who did you say ask to see me?"

Lei Yongji replied: "Report to Your Highness, Your Highness, Princess Pingyang!"

When Li Shimin heard the four words "Princess Pingyang", he didn't have to sober up the soup, and the drunkenness in his head disappeared in an instant.

Princess Pingyang had a very good relationship with Li Shimin, but in the past, since Liu Wenjing bewitched Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng for the position of Prince of the East Palace, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly opposed, and finally turned against each other. Li Xiuning cut off the exchanges between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

Since Li Xiuning got married, Li Shimin hasn't seen Li Xiuning for almost four months. He thought that Li Xiuning must have entered the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble.

Seeing Li Shimin's face unevenly, Cheng Zhijie pushed Qin Qiong, and their eyes touched in the air.

Cheng Zhijie's head was spinning quickly and he reacted quickly. He immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, King Qin, today I have a banquet, thanks to your highness for your hospitality. Now I have the fullest drink, and I will gather again next day!"

Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng also stood up at the same time.

Li Shimin thought it was the same when he met. When they were siblings, they had to say some private words. It would be inconvenient for everyone to be present. They left everyone to meet in the side palace and were also dissatisfied with the guests.

So, Li Shimin followed the flow and said, "It's good that way, let's meet again tomorrow!"

When Li Xiuning took Ma Sanbao and He Yueer, two followers, and walked from outside. When he came to Chengqian Palace, Li Shimin rushed to Li Xiuning in three steps, his eyes fell on Li Xiuning's bulging belly, and his face filled with a smile: "Shimin greets the third sister!"

Li Xiuning was far away and smelled the smell of alcohol emitted from Li Shimin. She suddenly remembered Chen Ying's words in her head that alcohol has a great impact on the fetus. Thinking of this, Li Xiuning reached out and pushed Li Shimin out and said, "Get away from me!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.

Li Shimin never thought that Li Xiuning was afraid that the smell of alcohol on Li Shimin would affect the fetus in her belly, but she really despised Li Shimin.

Li Shimin thought that in the court, he was not only suppressed by the crown prince, but also disliked by Li Xiuning.

Gradually, Li Shimin's eyes turned red, and he didn't know if he was angry or drunk.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin with an awkward look and walked into the hall. Looking at the mess that the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall had not had time to clean up, Li Xiuning took a handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, and turned around and walked towards the side hall.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiuning like this, his fists clenched tightly.

His eyes turned red again.

At this time, Li Shimin was not the Tian Khan of later generations, he was just a twenty-year-old young man.

He is at an age of extreme confidence and conceit. At this young age, if he suffers consecutive setbacks, he will easily be injured. Now Li Shimin is very injured.

Li Shimin wanted to cry, but he held it back.

Li Shimin followed Li Xiuning to the side hall silently: "I don't know what kind of reason is there for the third sister to arrive!"

Li Shimin's tone was not emotional, as if he was a cold machine.

Li Xiuning said in surprise: "You little brother, you dare to have an official voice with your third sister. Are you itchy?"

Li Shimin said lightly: "How dare Shimin!"

Li Xiuning said: "I heard you are leaving Liangzhou!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly turned red: "Sister, are you here to laugh at Shimin?"
