In the imperial study room, Li Shimin was listening to the report of eunuch Wang. The secret organization of Liushemen is like a huge eight-clawed spider, with its net cables everywhere, monitoring every move of the temporary capital Xiangyang.

Li Shimin was a commander who once commanded thousands of troops and fought countless victories. He knew very well that only by knowing one's own and his opponent could he be able to win a hundred battles.

To understand yourself, you must also understand the enemy, and of course, you must first know who the enemy is.

Li Shimin can know about rumors inside and outside the court, gossip news on the streets of the city, and even the private complaints of some princes and nobles at home. The six doors are getting easier and easier.

What Li Shimin is most concerned about now is who is in the same heart as him.

From the time he decided to support Li's reform, he knew that a war without guns had begun. The war was full of fog, and it was not easy to distinguish who was the enemy and who was the friend.

There are six doors of eyeliners in teahouses, brothels, gambling houses, streets and alleys, and even the palaces of officials. They collect countless information and finally summarize it into the six doors. There are many specialized personnel there, summarize the information one by one, then analyze and check it, and finally summarize it and report it.

Li Shimin finished listening carefully.

“So many people are against it?”

He knew that there would be people who would oppose the reform, but so many people would oppose it, but it was beyond his expectations. The princes and nobles were complaining, civil officials and generals were complaining, and the pen officials were complaining, as well as the Kanto gentry, landlords, and merchants seemed to be complaining.

It seems that there is no one in the world who is complaining about the new law.

Li Shimin was a little confused.

Was he wrong? Was Li wrong?

He may not care about the opposition of some people, but he cannot go against the whole world. Even if he is an emperor, it will not work.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat.

When everyone starts complaining and opposing, it is already extremely dangerous.

He shook his head.

Sighing in my heart.

Not long ago, Li was praised by the people of the world.

The people called Li the prime minister of the time to save the suffering, especially those in the north, thanked Li for helping them in the once-in-a-decade famine.

They even set up a tablet of immortality for Li at home and thanked him sooner or later.

Scholars in the world also respect Li and call Li the great master. They admire Li's knowledge and talent, admire Zizhi Tongjian compiled by Li, and call this book a masterpiece of historians, which is parallel to the Records of the Grand Historian. These two books must be read by reading history, otherwise they will not be worthy of learning history.

Li's poems were also praised by them. They even called Li's poems a frontier poem, saying that Li was the founder of the frontier poems. After scanning the palace's erotic poems, they created a very impressive new poetry school.

Poetry about the frontier, war, and military dynasties are regarded as treasures by scholars.

There are also Li Ming's printing technology, Li improved papermaking technology, Li promoted the world's newspapers and publications,

The dictionary, dictionary, and the pinyin symbols of the Tang Dynasty reading sounds and music symbols made the world prosperous, allowing countless people to read books and buy paper.

Li runs many schools and the education he promotes is also praised.

In the past, even the merchants were grateful to Li, feeling that Li had been speaking for them in the court and fighting for rights and interests.

But overnight, the wind direction changed.

Now everyone says that Li has changed.

He became the Shangshu Ling, and the new policy reforms he presided over made everyone dissatisfied.

Some people say that Li Heng charged a heavy tax.

Some people say that Li is arrogant.

In short, many people are now doubting Lee and questioning his new policy.

It is said that the censors of the Censorate are planning a move to impeach Li together.

If the censor collectively impeaches Li, Li Shimin can protect Li.

But impeachment by the censor will only be the beginning.

If officials in the court impeach Li together, can he still protect Li? If the public opinion today is scolding Li and opposing the new law, what will he do as the emperor?

What Li Shimin is most worried about is those who have ulterior motives who will take advantage of this momentum to make trouble. Then they will threaten public opinion, which is terrible.

Is the new law going to be abandoned halfway?

Li Shimin was unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, the military information in the north." The eunuch outside came to the hall to report.

When Li Shimin heard the urgent report from the Northern Army, he waved quickly.

Military information has been sent, and there is still a sealing wax that has not been opened.

Check it out and open it.

The more Li Shimin looked, the worse his face became. Goguryeo attacked Youzhou.

Goguryeo, when the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian and Yang Guang and his son conquered Goguryeo several times, they spent a lot of money and food, and how many soldiers and horses were injured and killed in Liaodong, which eventually led to the destruction of the Sui Dynasty.

However, although the Sui Dynasty died due to the conquest of Goguryeo, Goguryeo was also severely damaged by the Sui Dynasty. If it weren't for the reason that it was caused by the incident several times, Goguryeo would have been defeated by the Sui army by luck.

Although he survived by luck, his vitality was severely damaged and his country's foundation was shaken.

Fortunately, the Central Plains was in chaos, and heroes from all sides competed for hegemony and fought for the Central Plains. No one paid attention to Goguryeo anymore. Goguryeo was able to rest and recuperate, and even took the opportunity to steal the opportunity to occupy western Liaoning again.

Li Tang raised an army in Taiyuan and entered Guanzhong. After that, he fought with the Western Qin for Longyou, fought with Liu Wuzhou and Hedong, and fought with Dou Jiande and Shichong to the Central Plains, then swept away Jianghan and seized Lingnan, and fought with Tuyuhun Turks several times in the middle.

It has been eight years since the founding of the country, and it has been difficult for the Central Plains to unify.

The Tang Dynasty took over Longyou, Hexi, Shuofang, Hetao, and Daibei, but it has not yet recovered western Liaoning.

Because the Tang Dynasty did not take action, since the Tang and Goguryeo have always been in peace, then the Tang Dynasty did not want to fight Goguryeo before they decided to win or lose with the Turks, and they were unwilling to make another enemy.

The court was preparing to divide the north, the east and the south, first defeat the Turks, then conquer Goguryeo, then Tuyuhun, etc.

But unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty did not want to fight Goguryeo now, and Goguryeo couldn't stand the loneliness.

Tongye Hu suffered a great loss in Monan and returned to Mobei to make a fuss. As a result, the Yiman there always played hide-and-seek with him. At this time, the Tang Dynasty set Yu She to the prisoners and persuaded him to surrender, and brought a large number of people to the Central Plains to move inward.

When Tongye Hu heard this news, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

He was disgusted by the means of the Tang Dynasty.

He wanted to turn around and go south to start a war with Tang, but Yi Nan was still playing hide-and-seek with him. If he didn't deal with Yi Nan, he wouldn't be safe from going south.

However, it is not impossible for Tongye Hu to be the leader in the Western Regions.

The Tieler people obviously received support and instigation from the Tang Dynasty, so they dared to play with him like this. Tongye Hu followed suit and sent someone to go to Goguryeo with generous gifts, talked to the Goguryeo people, and analyzed the situation with them.

It is nothing more than that the Tang Dynasty now unifies the Central Plains, which will sooner or later become a big problem. If they become stronger in the future, they will definitely go to Goguryeo to find the place that was lost to the Sui Dynasty back then.

Instead of waiting for them to get on the horse, it would be better to join forces to destroy the Tang Dynasty before they even stood up. Tongye Hu even gave a very tempting condition. If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, they would divide the Tang Dynasty in the north, Hebei and Henan would return to Goguryeo, and Hedong and Guanzhong would return to Turks.

Of course, the Goguryeo people actually don’t believe in this condition, or they don’t care at all.

They mainly felt that the Turkic people's words of the Tang Dynasty to seek revenge sooner or later were very reasonable. When Ye Hu promised that they would send troops south at the same time as Goguryeo, the Goguryeo decided to send troops to Hebei.

The best defense is offense. It is said that this is what the war god of the Tang Dynasty said, and the Goguryeo people were extremely respected after hearing it.

So, while the swamps in western Liaoning had not yet thawed and the rivers in the north had not yet thawed and flooded, the Goguryeo soldiers were out of their way.

There are not many soldiers, 50,000.

But the Goguryeo soldiers chose very well, and they gathered quietly in western Liaoning.

When Ye Hu ordered Yugushi, who was in the south of the desert, went south and crossed Yinshan, attracting the attention of the Tang army. When the Tang army dispatched troops to Datong Pass and the army was defending reinforcements, Goguryeo talents suddenly set off.

Now, Yugushua brought 50,000 Turkic troops across Yinshan, entered Daibei, and besieged Datong Pass. While Goguryeo's 50,000 people were also attacking Yu Pass.

Yuguan is the Shanhaiguan of later generations.

But at this time, this pass city did not have the title of the world's number one pass.

The city of Guancheng is not as majestic and dangerous as it was built, and it is not even located in the Shanhaiguan in later generations, but is still further west.

Because the Tang Dynasty mainly defended against the Turks before, the key cities of Guancheng were all on the northern front line, and Yuguan in the east was only in the construction and reinforcement plan.

There was Li Ji, the commander-in-chief of the former army, Yuchi Gong, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army, and Qin Qiong, the commander-in-chief of the Hetao Shuofang.

With these three generals in the 100,000 Turkic Goguryeo coalition forces, they should be able to stop them.

Sighed a long time.

The Goguryeo people finally came in, and there was another foreign enemy in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Turks and Goguryeo joined forces, and the defense situation in the north became even more serious.

At this time, if the court becomes in chaos again, it is afraid it will be out of control.

Maybe, you should adjust it first at this time.

Li Shimin pinched his chin and thought hard.

Suddenly, his inspiration flashed. Perhaps he should have ordered Li to go to Hebei and command the defense and war in the north.

In this way, if Li leaves the court temporarily, this storm may be avoided.

"Call the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat to come over and draft an edict."

The next morning court.

The censors were eager to try, they were ready, and they were going to go to court today, and they would collectively impeach Li.
To be continued...
