Let us say that as soon as Li Shimin returned to Daming Palace, Queen Changsun and others followed him.
Don't wait for him to be sad.
But a telegram was delivered.
The person who submitted the telegram was an eunuch.
He handed over the telegram respectfully with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this telegram was sent back from Yingzhou two hours ago. Please read it!"
That is when Li Shimin left, the telegram came.
Where Yingzhou is located is the borderline with Goguryeo.
At this time, Yuchi Jingde was arranged to guard the territory of Datang there.
To the northeast, there were troops from Goguryeo, Silla and Japan stationed there. These clowns are so annoying!
These people claim to be practicing military exercises, but everyone knows their true intentions.
At this time, it would definitely not be a good thing if a telegram came from there.
Therefore, Li Shimin couldn't care less about his sadness.
Picked up the telegram directly.
At this sight, everyone was stunned.
"What! Goguryeo doesn't take me seriously! It's so courageous! There are also Japanese people, I'm so angry! These small countries dare to do this! They are so courageous! I really don't want to live. Yet?"
"Your Majesty, would you like me to take a look?"
"Give!"
Empress Changsun was also surprised at this time. She took the telegram and took a look.
At the same time, he was also shocked.
"I didn't expect that they actually built fortifications on the border! It looks like they are going to fight for a long time! But they ignored my determination! They must be cleared!"
Concubine Yang said: "The Japanese people took advantage of their location and faced the sea, and their navy was stronger than other countries. They thought that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to do anything to them, so they did this. It was really the work of a villain. .”
Because Li Shimin had punished the Japanese pirates before, which made them hold a grudge, so he did this. This kind of behavior makes people angry! It turned out that they were at fault in the first place! But this was detrimental to Datang!
It turned out that this telegram was written by Yuchi Jingde.
It is said that Goguryeo and other countries built fortifications on the border of Yingzhou.
There are suddenly these things that were not there before. Does this mean they want to go further?
As mentioned above, Goguryeo and other countries gathered a large number of soldiers and conducted military exercises every day.
It seems that he is preparing something.
At the same time, another thing was mentioned.
That is to ask Li Shimin to allocate money to strengthen the city walls, build fortifications, train soldiers, and even use money to recruit soldiers to enhance defense strength.
Naturally, Li Shimin would not directly finalize such a major matter.
Also think about it and ask other people for their opinions.
So he ordered.
"Send the order, and in half an hour, all officials will go to court!"
This matter is no small matter and must be handled as quickly as possible.
Half an hour, although it is very urgent, but it is also a last resort.
…
As soon as the order was given, everyone started to move.
Within half an hour.
All the civil and military officials came in a hurry.
At this time, Li Shimin also allowed Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang to go to court together.
This is imitating what Li Min did. This is what he wants to do, to reuse two women and make himself relaxed.
But it has to be said that the talents of these two women are naturally not weak.
Compared to five women, it might not be much different.
All civil and military officials were puzzled as to why Li Shimin suddenly asked them to go to court.
Seeing his frown, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Until he said: "I received a telegram from Yingzhou!"
Everyone roughly understands what's going on.
It must be about the telegram.
What did the telegram say?
"Come on, read!"
So, a eunuch read out the contents of the telegram.
When the civil and military officials heard this, they all also frowned.
So...
This is no small matter.
Everyone started talking about it
Li Shimin then asked: "Everyone has listened, so what do you think next?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, if we build fortifications, the cost will naturally not be small. We just built nine hospitals some time ago, and invested a lot of money for people's livelihood. We also invested in building railways and other things." , this year the court has spent a lot of money, if we spend more money, I am afraid that the financial support will not be able to support it!"
Yes, in this case, Li Shimin was cheated of a lot of money by Li Min to invest in people's livelihood.
But this money was not taken by Li Min, it was used for the construction of Datang.
The money will pay off, but the gains may take longer.
The problem now is that financial support cannot be sustained.
But some people said: "Your Majesty, I think this fortification must be built! Otherwise, once Goguryeo and others invade, our border will not be peaceful and the country will be ruined!"
"I agree! There must still be money in the treasury now, and Shengtang Group can contribute a lot of tax revenue in a month. Use that money to make corrections!"
Some people also suggested: "Do we have to build defense? How about upgrading weapons! How about making more weapons?"
More people have the same idea as Fang Xuanling.
That’s because it’s too expensive to build this thing.
It takes time and is not flattering.
It's better to make weapons faster.
But some people have said that if you build this thing, it will be useful in the future, but you can’t just leave it alone.
At the same time, Wei Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Sixth Prince and see what he decides? Maybe he can have a better solution?"
Li Shimin was unhappy when he heard this.
"He can do business, but let him fight? You think too highly of him!"
Looking at this situation, Li Shimin is going to do it himself.
At the same time, he also looked down on Li Min. How could he do this about the war?
But he was wrong.
Li Min's power was beyond his imagination.
As long as the time is right, he can even destroy a country by himself.
It's all possible.
The ministers said no more.
Li Shimin asked again:
"What do you think, Queen?"
All civil and military officials were shocked.
Just now they thought that the two women were just here to listen, but they didn't expect that Li Shimin would ask them what they meant.
Of course, when the emperor asked the queen what she meant, it was just for reference and not necessarily implemented in this way.
Therefore, everyone can only talk silently in their hearts.
Your Majesty is wise.
Queen Changsun was also a little puzzled.
How did Li Shimin allow himself to answer the question?
She never thought that Li Shimin was stimulated because Li Min had five women helping him, but he had no one to help him.
It was also because Li Shimin didn't raise it.
Now he does.
But it makes people feel surprised.
At the same time, I was a little scared.
But she still said: "I think that Wei Guogong is right, fortifications are difficult to build!"
"What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Li Shimin asked Concubine Yang again.
At this time, he knows how to listen to other people's opinions, but he still has his own ideas on how to do it.
"I thought... I thought..."
"Why?"
Concubine Yang hesitated, making Li Shi anxious.
This made the civil and military officials even more anxious.
