    ?

    In the main hall, there are already important civil and military officials from the court, which Wei Zheng notified in advance.  After all, when it comes to Tubo's invasion of the border, Datang is in danger and needs to be discussed by everyone.

    As soon as Li Shimin entered, everyone stood up and saluted.  After Li Shimin sat down, he looked around at the crowd. He was just about to speak, but his stomach was growling. After all, he hadn't eaten for two days, and his stomach was already growling from hunger.

    Li Shimin asked the imperial dining room to bring food, and he said while eating: "There are two things to discuss today. The first thing is still to deal with the attack of Xia Guodu Qi. The second thing is that Tubo invaded the border  One thing. If you have any ideas, each of you can speak freely about how to deal with this matter."

    "Your Majesty, I suggest asking Xia Guo for peace."

    Among the officials, someone stood up.

    This person's name is Kong Yingda, he is a descendant of Confucius, and he is a Qingliu in the court.  Although Kong Yingda was not the head of any ministry, nor the prime minister of the court, Kong Yingda's own reputation was not simple.  He holds the post of Jijiu in Guozijian, and he has no real power in the court, but he is the leader of Qingliu.

    When Kong Yingda spoke, it represented the opinions of many people.

    Li Shimin frowned.

    Summation!

    This is tantamount to admitting defeat to Du Qi.

    It was something Li Shimin was unwilling to do.

    You must know that Du Qi used to be just a subject of Li Shimin, just a junior of Li Shimin.  But now, Li Shimin, as the lord of the Tang Dynasty, wants to ask Du Qi for peace, which is tantamount to sweeping Li Shimin's face.  You must know that in the past, if Li Shimin wanted to kill Du Qi, it was just a matter of one sentence, and crushing Du Qi was like crushing an ant.  But now, Du Qi was riding on Li Shimin's head.

    When Kong Yingda saw Li Shimin's appearance, especially when he saw that Li Shimin had put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, he knew that Li Shimin must be angry, but Kong Yingda didn't care, and continued: "Your Majesty, the reason why I said that is because  It's very simple, Datang is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and does not have enough energy to deal with it. If Datang has no border dangers and chaos everywhere, then Datang can fight Du Qi to the end."

    After a pause, Kong Yingda continued: "With the strength of Datang, it is absolutely possible to continue to fight Xia Guo to the end, and continue to compete with Xia Guo. But now, Datang itself is exhausted and does not have enough strength to fight against Xia Guo."  Respond. If you forcefully start a war with Du Qi at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

    Following Kong Yingda's words, some other officials echoed.  Because at the moment, this is indeed an existing problem, and Datang does not have enough strength to deal with it.

    Li Shimin was reluctant in his heart, but he had to admit that Kong Yingda's words made sense.  Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at Li Chengqian who followed him to participate in government affairs, and said, "Prince, what do you think?"

    Li Chengqian said: "Father, my son believes that the danger of Tubo is just a hidden danger on the border, and it is nothing to be afraid of. If it is because of Tubo's invasion of the border, I will be afraid. On the contrary, it seems that I, Tang, are too timid. My son still  With the previous attitude and suggestion, the imperial court issued an edict to recruit people of insight to recruit the people on their own, and organize forces to go to the border to resist the invasion of the Xia Kingdom."

    Li Chengqian said forcefully: "As long as someone has the ability to turn the tide and prevent Xia Guo from attacking, then my Tang Dynasty can treat me favorably and give enough treatment. It is not a problem to be crowned king or duke. This is the root of the problem. Sue peace  , It will damage our Datang state."

    "Your Majesty, I object!"

    Kong Yingda said righteously: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty can't stand the torment now! Please think twice, Your Majesty."

    At this moment, among the civil officials, many people echoed.

    Many people support summation.

    As for those who supported Li Chengqian, they belonged to Prince Li Chengqian's East Palace lineage, but among those who opposed the war, Wei Zheng, in particular, also clearly opposed Li Chengqian's proposal and agreed to seek peace.  So much so that the call for peace was even higher, and the two sides were arguing with each other, but the decision was handed over to Li Shimin, who had to make a decision.

    All eyes were on Li Shimin.

    Waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision.

    The atmosphere in the hall was quite stalemate.

    "Report!"

    At this moment, another servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the grassland."

    The servant handed over the letter.

    After Li Shimin opened the letter and read the contents of the letter, his complexion suddenly changed.  He slapped the letter on the desk with a slap, and said in a deep voice: "The Turkic people on the grassland suddenly started rebelling, and they no longer obey our control. These people,?Successfully killed the officials in Turks and burned the established Dudu Mansion.  "

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Although Jieli and other major Turkic aristocrats are all detained in Chang'an, the people in the Turkic tribes have rebelled on their own. Now my Tang Dynasty is really precarious, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes come out.  gone."

    Everyone heard the words with awe-inspiring expressions.

    The hearts of each of them sank even more.

    The situation is very bad!

    Even Li Chengqian, who had saved himself to start another war, lost his persistence in his heart.  On the Tubo and Turkic side, they all suddenly attacked and made trouble. It is impossible to sit idly by and ignore anyone who poses a great threat to the Tang Dynasty.

    "Your Majesty, Liaodong urgent report!"

    At this moment, another servant suddenly entered and handed over a letter about Liaodong.

    There was even more worry in Li Shimin's eyes. He took the letter, browsed it quickly, and looked even more angry after reading it, and said: "Goguryeo also suddenly launched a rebellion and attacked the border of Tang and Liaodong. Tubo, Turkic and  Goguryeo and others suddenly made trouble, could it be Du Qi's arrangement?"

    In fact, this is really not Du Qi's arrangement, and he would not say that it will rely on the joint attack of Tubo and Turks.  For Du Qi, he disdained to do so.  It's just that the Tang Dynasty was precarious, and everyone had an idea, so Tubo, Turkic, and Goguryeo each took action to take advantage of the fire, and finally they all gathered together.

    Everyone in the court looked even more solemn, and in the eyes of many people, there was even more anxiety.  The original Great Tang was thriving, but now the Great Tang is in decline, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, so everyone also has a feeling of precarity.

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that the only way is to seek peace. If there is another war, the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies from all directions, and it cannot withstand so many attacks."

    At this moment, Li Shimin sighed.

    Even more depressed.

    He was unwilling to beg for mercy from Du Qi and admit defeat. The problem was that Li Shimin couldn't stand the current situation, which was really too bad.  So Li Shimin can only ask Du Qi for peace now.

    Wei Zheng asked: "Your Majesty, how should we seek peace now?"

    Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, and said: "I will not set specific conditions for this campaign to seek peace, and it is subject to the stability of the Xia Kingdom. This time, Wei Zheng will be the envoy and Kong Yingda will be the deputy envoy. The two of you will lead the team there.  At the border, seek peace with Du Qi, and stop the war."

    Wei Zheng looked a little embarrassed.

    Unexpectedly, he became an envoy.

    The same is true for Kong Yingda.

    Because such a peace envoy is not easy to do, it is not something that can be done easily.

    Li Shimin said: "Why, you don't want to?"

    Wei Zheng said: "I am willing to go!"

    Kong Yingda also said: "I am also willing to go."

    The two of them knew that there was no room for rejection at the moment, so they agreed directly.

    Li Shimin turned his eyes, looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "Fang Qing, mobilize the army and quickly go to the border to suppress the situation. Although Tubo, Goguryeo and Turks are in trouble, we still have gunpowder, while the other party does not. This is our advantage.  , can win.¡±

    Fang Xuanling said: "I obey the order!"

    Li Shimin quickly arranged things one by one, and arranged a lot of government affairs. After everything was dealt with, everyone retreated. Li Shimin began to review the government affairs. After all, these two days were immersed in the grief of the death of his grandson Wugou.  During the process, some government affairs were detained, which needed to be dealt with immediately.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
