At the end of the year, Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace, and study room.

"Your Majesty, Changsun Sikong is asking for a visit." In the study, Li Shimin was practicing writing with the recent new Wang Xizhi's "Leyi Theory". The nearby servant outside the palace entered and reported.

"Oh? The auxiliary machine is here, hurry up." Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had a close relationship. Before they could even wait for the eunuch to report, they went to the outsider.

Changsun Wuji was the elder brother of Empress Changsun and his uncle of the dynasty. He even met Li Shimin a young man. Unlike others, he heard Li Shimin's summons in the study and walked in according to his order.

When Changsun Wuji entered, Li Shimin asked, "Is there any important thing to do when the auxiliary machine suddenly entered the palace?"

Changsun Wuji replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the urgent report from the Northern Line."

When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Before spring began, the northern desert was still cold and the march was not good. At this time, whoever dared to attack the enemy of the Northern tribe dared to move the war, and if anyone moves, he would first lose 800 people.

The border urgent document in his hand handed over to Li Shimin: "Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Xiangzhou, ordered someone to send a letter to the Ministry of War. After the winter of this year, Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan's son Dadu set up troops to travel south, leading more than 30,000 troops to hunt Nozhenshui, which seemed to be provoking."

The Nuozhen River is located on the north side of the desert and is connected to the ancient Dingxiang City. It was originally the former land of the Turks. However, with the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the troops destroyed the Turks, and the southern part of the desert was owned by the Tang Dynasty.

The desert has already left Hetao, and the grassland is vast, and the Tang army does not have as many troops to garrison everywhere. The Tang Dynasty only deploys troops in Dingxiang City. In addition, the Tang Dynasty did not care much about these grasslands, so the Tang Dynasty had no military strength in Nuozhenshui, which was considered an air defense place. But even so, Xue Yantuo was able to lead troops south at will, which was considered to be a rule.

Li Shimin quickly glanced at the urgent matter in his hand and said to Changsun Wuji: "This year, Xue Yantuo has become more and more presumptuous."

Changsun Wuji said: "Since the sixth year of Zhenguan, Xue Yantuo has integrated the nine Tielite tribes, and the troops have been to Akawa, and the Cun tribes, all Mobei has been owned by Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo often provoked Beiguan and entered and exited Yinshan. However, before that, most of them were just thousands of cavalry going south scattered, and this time the movement was really a bit louder."

Li Shimin snorted lightly and said, "Xue Yantuo is testing me. If I ignore this move by the generous, I am afraid that Xue Yantuo will not be so simple as hunting in Nuozhenshui next step."

Changsun Wuji also said, "I think this example cannot be opened. If this example is opened, it may not take three years before the Baidao River north of Hetao, the Baidao River will no longer be owned by our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin asked: "What does auxiliary machine mean?"

Changsun Wuji said: "My meaning is the same as that of Governor Zhang. No matter what Xue Yantuo means, you should first let Governor Zhang go north to patrol the border to show our Tang Dynasty's intention to promote martial arts, and then issue an order to Xue Yantuo to hurt the male spy."

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the martial arts won the world. Most of the ministers in the court, whether civil or military, were tough on border issues. Since Xue Yantuo dared to shed his horses and went south, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty would never give in.

What Changsun Wuji said was exactly what Li Shimin said. Li Shimin nodded and said, "The words of the servants are deeply convinced by me. This matter will be based on your words. After the spring of the next year, Zhang Gongjin will lead his troops to the north to patrol the border, and then order the Secretariat to draft an edict to injure the rebuke of the Yinan."

"No." Changsun Wuji responded immediately after hearing this.

Li Shimin looked at the urgent matter in his hand and suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Where is Ashinasmo?"

Changsun Wuji replied truthfully: "Ashinasmo, under the order of His Majesty, the former subordinates of Jie Li lived in Beikaizhou."

Li Shimin then asked, "How is Ashinasmo lately?"

Changsun Wuji seemed to have guessed what Li Shimin meant and replied: "Although Ashinasmo lives in Hetao, he seems not very accustomed to the scenery of Hetao. He has sent a letter to the Ministry of War more than once, please transfer another place."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment before nodding, "Sinasmo stayed in Hetao for a long time, as he said, after the beginning of spring next year, 200,000 former troops of Jie Li's military and civilians went north and across the Yellow River, and lived in the north and south of Yinshan."

Changsun Wuji asked, "Your Majesty wants to use the Turks as the barrier of the northern line of our Tang Dynasty to block Xue Yantuo?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, I ordered them to cross the Yellow River north and return to their hometown to enrich the land in order to intimidate Xue Yantuo, and strengthen our Tang Dynasty's defense."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji unconsciously showed an unconcealed smile on his face and smiled at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty is wise. The Turks are the Hu tribe. It is not a good idea to live in Hetao for a long time. It is appropriate to make them cross the Yellow River north and guard Yinshan."

Although Changsun Wuji was the uncle of the country and met Li Shimin a young man, he always acted rudely, even if he reported in private, he rarely lost his composure, let alone laugh like this today. Changsun Wuji reported to Li Shimin about the court affairs, and Changsun Wuji laughed inexplicably as he said that, how could Li Shimin not notice it?

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and asked curiously: "I asked Asanasmo to go north, why do you laugh at the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji's behavior today was intentional, and this was also one of the purposes of Changsun Wuji's entry into the palace this time.

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin's question, he first pretended to be frightened and apologized to Li Shimin: "It was not because of the affairs of Ashinasmo when his subjects lost their manners. I hope Your Majesty will forgive him."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are not ordinary monarchs and ministers, how could they be punished by Changsun Wuji for this little detail? Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's okay, I look at the auxiliary machine and I am happy, but there are some happy events recently."

Changsun Wuji replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and once you guessed, it is a happy event for me to add a child to the eldest son of my house. I suddenly thought about it and lost my manners for a moment."

As a Sikong, Changsun Wuji was an important official in the court. It was naturally not worth it when he was in a state of disrespect. The child he mentioned was naturally his descendants. However, Changsun Wuji was in his forties, and his wife was about the same age as him and had not been born for several years. Today, when he laughed, it was not his wife who gave birth to a child. The biggest place was that Changsun Wuji had a grandson.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Oh? But the auxiliary machine has added a grandson?"

Changsun Wuji replied: "It was the son of the dog, Changsun Huan, who had a son and added a eldest grandson to his family."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The auxiliary machine is so lucky. I am only four years older than me, so I have to enjoy the joy of my grandchildren. I feel very jealous."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why is your envy? The King of Wei has already been engaged, and the King of Chu has also met with the little lady of the Warriors' family. He will be hired soon. At most, His Majesty will be a grandson for another year."

Changsun Wuji's words came to Li Shimin's ears. Li Shimin looked surprised and asked, "When did Ke'er talk about the little lady of the Warrior Family?"

Changsun Wuji also looked surprised and asked Li Shimin: "The warrior brought his wife and daughter back to the capital, and the imperial concubine and the King of Chu went to the Martial Palace to visit. This matter has long been known to everyone in Chang'anfang. Does Your Majesty still know?"

"What happened?" Li Shimin said in surprise.

Concubine Yang once mentioned the little girl from the Xiao family in Lanling to Li Shimin. He had never heard of this little girl from the Wu family. He was inevitably surprised to hear about this from Changsun Wuji.

However, if Li Ke married, Li Shimin would be happy after all. Li Shimin paused and smiled at Chang Tu who was serving beside him, saying, "Chang Tu, you can order someone to pass on your life quickly and decree to the King of Chu and the Imperial Concubine Ganlu Palace."
