"okay."
"Forget it this time."
"Whoever dares to commit another crime in the future will be killed without mercy."
Li Shimin gave a few words of training.
After banning rumors about Murong Shun's rebellion, he was driven to...
"Everyone go back."
The friends lined up to leave Tai Chi Hall.
"Shu Yu, please stay for a while."
At this moment, Li Shimin called out to Wei Shuyu.
Listen up, friends.
It’s over.
Your Majesty is going to teach your elder brother a lesson again...
what to do?
Brother, please wish yourself well.
The friends quickened their pace and disappeared in a flash.
Wei Shuyu stood obediently behind Lao Wei.
"Let's talk about it. How should we solve this problem with Yang Tong?"
After all the close confidants were left in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin looked a little ugly...
"Just hit it!"
Cheng Yaojin came out of the queue and replied generously: "Your Majesty, you give me one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and I will crush Tuyuhun for you!"
"Nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up and retorted: "The Southern Liren and Liu Shuyi are not at peace. How can the Tang Dynasty mobilize so many people?"
Datang's million-strong army.
Basically, there are tens of thousands and tens of thousands guarding various places in the Tang Dynasty.
For example, Zhang Liang, as the governor of Xiangzhou, was stationed near Xiangzhou.
Li Shimin will not be transferred unless necessary.
Like this thing about sheep...
Even if it's transferred, it's too late!
"Furthermore, Jingde went to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and already took 50,000 troops with him!"
"If you take another hundred thousand away, who will guard Chang'an?"
Changsun Wuji reprimanded him mercilessly.
Not only because Cheng Yaojin had just refuted his face, but also because this was a fact.
Chang'an must keep troops and horses!
Whether it is to prevent foreign invasions or to prevent princes from various places from rebelling.
"So what?"
Cheng Yaojin said ruthlessly: "I knew that Tuyuhun was not good and he had to be beaten!"
Cheng Pifu!
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly.
Ignoring Cheng Yaojin, he bowed to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the matter of Tuyuhun be handled in a prudent and serious manner."
Several people present couldn't help but nodded.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Shimin asked.
Today, Tuyuhun's power is not small.
Li Shimin was unwilling to start a war without complete assurance.
Tuyuhun is also part of the Silk Road.
You must kill the opponent in one go.
Otherwise, it will affect Datang's image as the hegemon among the countries in the Western Regions.
"I still recommend fighting!"
Hou Junji bowed and said: "There are fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty on the border of Tuyuhun."
"Datang can cooperate with Yangtong to attack Tuyuhun!"
As soon as this statement came out, the attitude of all the ministers was different.
Some nodded in agreement, while others frowned in thought.
"No."
Wei Zheng stepped out and objected: "Since Tubo has reached an agreement with Tuyuhun."
"Songtsen Gampo will not ignore it."
"If we send troops rashly, we may end up losing our battle and Tuyuhun."
The ministers frowned again.
The general is not afraid, but what if...
Losing is a small matter.
Losing the Tang Dynasty's deterrent power in the Western Regions would be a big deal!
"His Majesty."
Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Songtsen Gampo has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to order him to Chang'an."
"As long as he is in Chang'an, I don't believe they dare to touch Yangtong!"
The ministers nodded in agreement.
It's a ploy.
"What a bullshit order..."
Cheng Yaojin retorted carelessly: "He has already set his sights on Yang Tong, how can he come back?"
"When the time comes, I can just find an excuse. I'm sick, my mother is dead, my second uncle died suddenly..."
"What can we do with him?"
The ministers were stunned again.
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Songtsen Gampo is not stupid.
How could it be possible to put a sheep in the tiger's mouth again?
"It doesn't matter if I fight, it doesn't matter if I don't fight, so what should I do?"
The ministers began to make suggestions again.
Probably the military commander supported the fight against Tuyuhun.
The civil servant felt that he should win with wisdom...
While the ministers were discussing endlessly, Li Shimin glanced at Wei Shuyu, who was squinting and sleepy.
"Shu Yu, everyone has spoken, do you have any good ideas?" Li Shimin asked casually.
"ah?"
Wei Shuyu suddenly woke up.
"Be bold!"
Changsun Wuji scolded: "We are discussing state affairs here, but you are wandering around in the world!"
"His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji bowed and said: "I sincerely ask Wei Shuyu to be driven out."
"..."
Lao Yin than.
You really never miss an opportunity to hit me.
"Shuyu, do you have anything to say?"
Li Shimin ignored it and asked again.
Wei Shuyu didn't speak, but that didn't mean he had no ideas.
There were all uncles and uncles of Wei Shuyu present, so it was understandable that Wei Shuyu didn't have the chance to interrupt.
"Words..."
Wei Shuyu glanced at several ministers and said, "I guess so."
"What does it mean to have it!"
Changsun Wuji started to attack again: "If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it."
"..."
Wei Shuyu was speechless: "Changsun Wuji, I just want your son to be unable to become a princess."
"Are you going to watch and smell my fart?"
When several ministers heard this, they all suppressed their laughter.
Even Li Shimin looked strange.
Cheng Yaojin wanted to laugh...
But when he thought that his son's wife was gone, he immediately glared.
Wei Duzi's son is not a good person.
"What else are you talking about?"
Changsun Wuji's old face turned red: "We are discussing important matters now. Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, I have……"
Wei Shuyu thought for a while: "But my ideas are different from yours..."
"Tell me about it."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "This is not a court meeting. Even if you say something wrong, I will forgive you."
"promise."
Wei Shuyu bowed and agreed, then straightened up immediately.
"Your Majesty, please let me know..."
"Why do we want to protect the sheep?"
"It is just a vassal country. If it is gone, it will be gone. It doesn't seem to matter, right?"
Um?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled.
"fart!"
Changsun Wuji sternly scolded: "Yangtong is our vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. If we ignore it, how will the countries in the Western Regions view us?"
Everyone nodded.
"Can you keep it?"
Wei Shuyu asked in return: "Even if Datang survives this time, can it survive the second time?"
"Songtsen Gampo's ambitions are not small. He will not allow an unruly sheep in his territory."
"Your Majesty..."
"Will you allow a force that does not obey you to exist in the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin frowned.
It’s definitely not allowed!
"Then what do you mean..." Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"My intention is very clear."
Wei Shuyu bowed and said: "The sheep are both between Tubo and Tuyuhun."
"Even if I, the Tang Dynasty, want to help, we are beyond our reach!"
"He is too weak!"
"We can't contain Songtsen Gampo either..."
"Since he will be lost sooner or later, why not give me Datang some benefits while he still exists!"
Everyone seemed to be waking up.
Yangtong is indeed of little use.
Moreover, he was not the territory of Datang, so why did Datang go through all the trouble to save him?
"What can Yangtong exchange for?"
Fang Xuanling opened her mouth and asked several people what they were thinking.
"Tuyuhun!"
