Just when Li Shimin was happy, a eunuch suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty! This servant has something to report!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
"The carrier pigeons sent out to the frontier have returned one after another. I also collected these letters and asked Your Majesty to read them."
After finishing, he presented letters one after another.
There are so many letters that it’s hard to read them all.
So, Li Shimin said: "Fang Xuanling, ask a few people to come and take a look for me! And summarize it for me to listen to!"
He was in great spirits.
Thanks to the telegraph, it will soon play a role in Datang.
He was naturally very happy.
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling then led a group of civil servants to summarize the letters and read them uniformly.
These literati moved very quickly, and it only took a while to complete the summary of dozens of letters.
Before finishing, Li Shimin was like playing with a toy, staring at the telegram endlessly, and occasionally leaning forward to click it twice.
"Your Majesty, the summary has been completed!"
Fang Xuanling said at this time.
"Oh? Tell me! How many copies are there?"
"A total of eighty letters came back this time, and all letters expressed support for the telegram. There are also a few letters that are particularly sincere."
"Um?"
Li Shimin realized something seemed wrong.
"I had eighty-one copies sent out, but only eighty copies came back? Whose one did not come back?"
"It seems...is..."
Fang Xuanling said hesitantly.
"who is it?"
"I haven't seen a reply from the eldest prince here!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he slammed the table.
"What did you say? That guy didn't reply!? What is he doing!"
Logically speaking, shouldn't Li Chengqian help him?
Why don't you have any intention of supporting yourself?
Fang Xuanling said:
"Yes, there is indeed no letter from the eldest prince here!"
At this time someone said: "Will it be delayed on the road? Or something happened to the pigeon?"
"How about we wait a little longer?"
But it was quickly rejected.
"If there is an accident, it won't be such a coincidence, right?"
"Who knows! What if it's really an accident?"
Something unexpected or not caused everyone to quarrel.
Li Shimin has his own judgment.
"That's enough, I will naturally come to a conclusion!"
Everyone fell silent.
It seems that Li Chengqian still failed to obey discipline.
Regarding his behavior, Li Shimin said that it seemed that the eldest son was of no use.
In other words, he disagreed with his decision to take down the telegram.
Otherwise, how could you not say a word?
But it doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not.
Li Shimin has to do it.
"Gian'er's place will give priority to getting the telegraph machine and personnel in place. Also, when the telegraph machine arrives, he will be reported every day on what he has done. I want to know what he is doing! And, every once in a while, someone will be sent there. Patrol there! I'm really worried about that boy!"
Since Li Chengqian has this attitude, he feels that he needs to be more strict.
Otherwise, I feel sorry for myself.
Li Shimin, who was originally happy, now turned gloomy.
But once I saw these one hundred telegraph machines, I felt at ease again.
He fought for these things.
"Thankfully I fought for these one hundred telegraph machines! Otherwise, I don't even know what some people are doing privately! Now, with these telegraph machines, let's see who dares to mess around!?"
His decision also caused some people to shout directly: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin felt better after hearing this.
"Okay, as for the remaining telegraph machines, find a time to send troops to escort them and send them to the border and other places!"
"yes!"
Such caution shows how seriously Li Shimin takes this matter.
The army was directly escorted.
Of course, this one cost him a lot of money, so how could he ignore it?
If it falls into the hands of a thief, he will have a restless sleep.
The importance of these telegraph machines was centralization.
He had thought about it before, but could never find a suitable way to implement it.
And now?
With it, he can achieve exactly what he has in mind.
This is everything an emperor wants.
When he thought of this, Li Shimin laughed again.
As for the civil and military officials below, they were all shocked.
What is this emperor like?
Why are you laughing there?
Were you stimulated by Li Chengqian?
He didn't stop laughing until another piece of news came in.
I saw another eunuch coming.
He shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Why is this happening again?
The eunuch hasn't said anything yet.
Li Shimin asked again: "Is it Qian'er's letter?"
It seems that he still cares about Li Chengqian, but he has his support.
"No, it is not, Your Majesty!"
"What is that? Tell me quickly!"
"It's Tubo... Tubo..."
The eunuch spoke a little hesitantly.
This made Li Shimin anxious.
"You bastard, tell me! Are you trying to kill me?"
"People from Tubo are coming."
The news seemed ominous.
Because at this time Li Chengqian went to help Tuyuhun, and Tubo asked people to come over.
Most of them are not good.
"What are they here for? Where are they? Who is here?"
Li Shimin asked three questions directly.
"Your Majesty, it's Lu Dongzan who is here again! They are heading towards the tenement building right now! I don't know what they are doing this time!"
said the eunuch.
Li Shimin was also a little puzzled.
Lu Dongzan just came last time.
Why are you here again?
This may also be the last time this year.
Why, because winter is coming, the mountains may be blocked by heavy snow, and the road to Datang will become difficult.
It’s not that I can’t come, it’s just that it will be a little dangerous when I go back.
At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "Could it be that the telegram was exposed?"
This may be the most reasonable explanation.
If this is the case, then Li Shimin was in too much of a hurry.
In fact, he didn't have to tell these people and just let the telegraph machine and personnel be in place.
But he was so happy that he passed the letter directly.
Others asked: "Did they capture the eldest prince's carrier pigeon?"
This is also possible.
It's even possible that they got information from Li Chengqian.
That is the so-called infiltration. They infiltrated into Li Chengqian's defense.
Either way, that's not good.
"This is just your guess. Until the truth is revealed, nothing can be said!"
Li Shimin finally said this.
Even though I said this, I was still very puzzled.
Then he added: "Let people go to Li Min to inquire about the news and see what these Tubo people are going to do!"
"yes!"
As a result, Li Shimin's spies headed towards the Tanglou.
It's a pity that the tenement building is too high and they can't get in at all.
I can only listen and make side comments.
Before they arrived, Lu Dongzan was already on top of the Tang Tower.
