When Li Shimin returned to the Qin Palace from Tai Chi Palace, it was already time to hold the lamp. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all looked forward to it.

Seeing Li Shimin returning safely, Changsun Wugui quickly came forward and asked with concern: "Second brother..."

Li Shimin gave Changsun Wugui a look of relief, then picked up Li Chengqian and tied Li Chengqian's little face with his beard. Li Chengqian looked disgusted.

Li Shimin deliberately said with a stern face: "Boy, how dare you dislike me?"

Li Chengqian was made of Li Shimin crying. Changsun Wugui tactfully picked up Li Chengqian and walked behind the inner hall.

Li Shimin ordered Lei Yongji: "Come some wine and food, I'm hungry!"

Lei Yongji turned around and left.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin nervously and said, "Your Highness..."

Li Shimin smiled slightly and sat heavily on the main seat and said, "The affairs of Jieyuhe are over. Qin Qiong wrote to him that the Eastern Turks suffered a drought. I believe they will definitely go south to attack the border in winter. We defeated the Turks last year, so we cannot be careless... We must stabilize Hedong and Hebei. Next, we will do something on stabilizing the border defense, and strive not to let a Turkic person break through the pass, to calm the emperor's heart, and let the court and the people take a look at the ability of our fellow Qin Wang Mansion."

Fang Xuanling interjected from the side: "Your Highness of the Qin King, the drought in the south of the desert is even worse than that in the north of the desert. If this is the case, it may not necessarily be the Turkic tribes going south. I am afraid that the tribes such as Tiele and Xueyantuo will go south. It is probably not easy to ensure that Hedong is foolproof!"

Li Shimin explained: "Wuji, the Ministry of Personnel is planning to plan you to go to the Western Regions to serve as the chief of the Protectorate!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji's face changed drastically: "Your Highness..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I know what you are worried about. In fact, you can think about it. The chief of the Protectorate is himself a function of restraining the Protectorate. He is a third-rank official. How can he kill him just by saying that he is killed? Unless Chen Ying dares to die with you!"

Changsun Wuji thought it was true. When he was in charge of the Western Regions, would Chen Ying really dare to kill him? Unless Chen Ying wants to rebel now. Rebellion now is simply seeking death. With the purging of the south of the Tang Dynasty and the Da'an of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty can now free up its hands, and the 300,000 to 400,000 troops are worried about nothing to do.

Li Shimin said: "I guard Taiyuan, which means the next three or five months. I want to take this opportunity to let the emperor know that we can stabilize Hedong and develop the local area. At that time, even if the King of Hejian takes office, rectify the Hedong officialdom and do some things, it will only follow and pick up people's wisdom. As long as the emperor no longer regards the Eastern Palace as the hope of Hedong, the dispute between the central government will have a result.

Du Ruhui turned a deaf ear to the discussion between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and picked up his pen and wrote words on the desk.

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Ruhui's back and said, "Keming is really different. Qingliu is born and pays attention to practice. It seems that His Highness, the King of Qin, has been praised for his life over the years, and its effectiveness is obvious."

Du Ruhui raised his head and asked lightly: "Your Highness of the King of Qin, Wuji, how many acres of land has the Western Regions Protectorate reclaimed this year? Will the harvest be affected by the drought?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Changsun Wuji said: "A few days ago, I received a report that Chen Dadu Dudu reclaimed about 2.5 million mu of land on Xizhou Road. Together with the number of land reclamation last year, it should be no less than 3.5 million mu. I admire Chen Dadu Dudu Dudu for this. He never slacked off. He gathered refugees and placed them properly."

When the wine and food came up, Li Shimin and the people in the Qin Palace were having wine while discussing.

As time went by, Li Shimin became clearer and clearer as he drank, but his face became paler. Unconsciously, he recalled the scene of drinking with Xue Renguo in prison.

Li Shimin and Xue Renguo were drunk and drunk. Xue Renguo looked at Li Shimin and asked, "There is something that I'm very puzzled!"

Li Shimin said: "You said!"

Xue Renguo stared at Li Shimin and said, "When it comes to martial arts, you are not inferior to me; when it comes to military strategy, you are better than me; when it comes to courage, you are the only hero I have ever seen... Especially this, I don't understand what your son is thinking?"

Li Shimin looked at Xue Renguo and said, "What do you mean?"

Xue Renguo said: "I mean, why isn't the prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin was dumbfounded and speechless. After a long time, Li Shimin shook his head and said with his tongue: "I am the second son... the second son... do you understand? You are the eldest son, so your father has established you; my eldest brother is the eldest son, so naturally he is the crown prince, and he has established the legitimate son, and has been the case since ancient times!"

Xue Renguo shook her head and said, "Although I am the eldest son, my father made me the crown prince, it is not because of this, but because I can fight! Lieutenant Generals and Austrians all listen to me. Some people can't even use my father, so of course my father can only make me stand!

Li Shimin sighed and said, "You have a good fortune, everyone in your family will accept you. I have a bad fortune. My father, elder brother, and third sister all treat me as children. I insist on letting them see, I am not a child!"

Xue Renguo was also a little drunk. He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said, "I have heard that you have a nickname, Tang Tong... The boy from the Tang Dynasty..."

Li Shimin sighed and scolded indignantly: "Fuck it... it's all that old boy Wang Shichong... When I return to Chang'an, I will lead my troops to find his bad luck..."

Li Shimin didn't know that four years ago, before Xue Renguo was executed, Xue Renguo had already planted a seed in Li Shimin's heart. As time goes by, this seed began to grow wildly in Li Shimin's heart. Now this seed with magic has grown into a towering tree, filling Li Shimin's entire heart.

Li Shimin was very unwilling to accept it, he was unwilling to accept it.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his nails slowly penetrated into the flesh, and the wounds were bleeding.

Li Shimin couldn't feel any pain.

Just as everyone said goodbye, only Changsun Wuji and the other two were left in the Chengqian Palace. Li Shimin pondered: "Everyone said that the eight generals of the Eastern Palace were said to be, Wei Ting and the Crown Prince are friends of the general lords, and their relationship is close. First of all, it can be ruled out. Xue Wanche and his brother Xue Wanjun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty from Youzhou and joined the Prince's Shifu. They were appreciated and would definitely not be bribed. Who would Feng Li, Li Shiji, and Yang Wengan be bribed?"

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Feng Li was recruited by the prince and asked to be sincere..."

Li Shimin asked again: "Li Shiji, can Yuchi Gong and others be bribed?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Although Li Shiji was once a subordinate of the prince, he seems to have a tendency to leave the core of the court in recent years. He seems to be like Chen Dadu and General Li (Li Jing), and he is not interested in the dispute over the Eastern Palace!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Who else can buy it except him?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly realized: "Yang Wengan!"

Li Shimin said: "Just him, you can do it. No matter what the price, you must bring him to our side!"

...

Time flies, and Minaval has been in the West State for more than a year in a blink of an eye. Now Minaval seems to have forgotten her purpose, and he teaches children with yellow skin, dark eyes, white skin, blue eyes, or brown skin, yellow eyes every day to read and read and read.

Minaval seemed to be doing well and was a little overjoyed.

However, with an urgent letter from the Sassanian Empire, Minavar became anxious.

When Minaval walked into Chen Ying's room with a charming smile, the Persian foreign girl's smile was so sweet that she almost fainted. She didn't expect to stop her until she walked in. As for Ashnasmo, this guy had completely become the minister of Jacqueline's skirt.

Chen Ying actually didn't do much work. He was eating chicken leg rice. The rice was brought by Hu merchants from Talas in the Western Regions. Chen Ying bought all the more than 800 stone rice without hesitation.

More than 800 stone rice sounded a lot, but it wasn't much cooked. Chen Ying was cooking rice. When he saw Minavar coming in, Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, his cheeks were round and he asked in a vague way: "Princess Minavar, why are you here?"

Minaval smiled and said, "You are all going to fight a big battle. Can I just come and see?"

She found a seat and sat down to Chen Ying sincerely: "Hisser Protector, congratulations, your army has won an epic victory. In just a few days, it annihilated the enemies equivalent to the total population of the Samman City State in the rugged mountains. Such a great victory is rare even in the Sassanian Empire!"

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly and said, "That only means you have little knowledge! In the history of our country, most of the battles like this that killed more than 100,000 enemies in one battle can't be pulled through with a hundred carriages... Let's talk about it, what's the matter with me?"

This guy's words are really direct, without any twists. He is used to using beautiful words to hold the other party upright, and he will lead the topic to the core without any trace, then tactfully put forward his own wishes and finally reach an agreement.

Minaval felt a little unbearable when facing Chen Ying. She had never seen such a freak before. In fact, negotiations were similar to visiting a brothel. You had to find a topic first to create the atmosphere one by one. When the atmosphere was almost done, you could blow the lights and pull out the wax. How could you go straight to the topic as soon as you opened your mouth?

There was no choice but to calm down and say, "Actually, I'm still interested in your army's weapons and equipment."

Chen Ying spread his hands and smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Minaval said helplessly: "I hope to buy some weapons and equipment from your army, especially the firm and decisive saber. We are willing to give it to you for how much money!"

Chen Ying put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Oh, Your Highness, Your Highness, Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that our sabers are the same as yours, but our opponents are relatively backward. They all carry crude equipment and inferior leather armor, so under their circumstances, they will be defeated by our Tang Dynasty army!"

Minaval rolled his eyes and said patiently: "How is the same? Many of your enemies are using the Uz steel weapons of our Sassanian Empire. We cannot do anything to each other's armor. Your Blade Sword can easily break the Uz steel armor!"

Chen Ying opened his eyes and said lying: "That's because we were lucky and happened to hit the joint of their armor!"

Minaval said tit-for-tat: "Do you have such good luck in every gun that you can hit the gap in the armor of the opponent every time? Chen Dadu Protector, although I am not a soldier, I do not know less about the army than you. Don't treat me as a fool!"

Chen Ying slowly withdrew his hands, looked at Minavar's eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, I can't do anything."

Minaval said a little angry: "I thought we were friends! Can't friends be honest with each other?"
Chapter completed!
