Chang'an.
After Li Shimin received the news that the Turks were resurrecting in the north, he anxiously summoned his close ministers to discuss how to deal with these matters.
When the generals Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others who had just returned to the capital Chang'an were thinking about how to deal with these matters, Li Chengqian came to the discussion site in a hurry.
"Father, the Turks in the North are resurgent. Is this true?"
Li Chengqian asked anxiously, and Li Shimin nodded here.
"This cannot be done falsely."
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he continued to murmur when no one said anything.
"Could it be that our local Tang army and the Tang people from the north bullied the Turkic talents and caused this situation?"
Li Shimin said to himself that everyone was really not sure what was going on now. They only knew that the Turks in the North were resurgent, and once again, under the call of some people, they began to attack cities and seize territory, leaving thousands of miles of red land in their path.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other generals who had not had time to go to the north quickly clasped their fists and came out to ask for orders.
"Your Majesty, since all the generals have returned, we are asking for orders to lead troops to the north to completely deal with these villains."
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin said this. Those generals who had just returned from the north and had just returned from the New Year were also here to report their fists and march out. ask.
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to go out again. Since we can go out once to quell the Turks, we can go out a second time and easily quell the Turks again."
Many generals asked for orders to go out again, but Changsun Wuji, a shrewd man, did find a problem.
"Your Majesty, are there any intelligence personnel waiting for us in the North? Why haven't any intelligence been sent back? This shouldn't be the case. Even if this Turkic people resurface again, they will still be able to communicate with each other without warning."
When Changsun Wuji said this, Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed.
"this and that……"
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty has withdrawn the intelligence personnel?"
Li Shimin looked at the confidants in front of him and nodded helplessly.
"I have indeed done a stupid thing. I have withdrawn some intelligence personnel. In addition, there are no intelligence personnel left. I can't let them go to the south to keep an eye on the wealthy families and the local officials who I plan to promote auspicious seeds." Let this allow us, the Tang Dynasty, to encounter any unexpected changes in the auspicious seeds of the food shortage."
Li Shimin did this matter very authentically. If the Turkic tribes in the north will not resurrect, there will be no problem. But in this situation, there is nothing to say. We have to make up for it before it is too late.
"Your Majesty should immediately order the general to return north again to take charge of the overall situation."
Ignoring the intelligence officer's question, Fang Xuanling suddenly said this, and everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.
"General? We are all generals. Who of us should be sent?"
But after Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui echoed Fang Xuanling here.
"Your Majesty, we should arrange for General Li Jing and Li to return to the North as soon as possible. General Li has enough majesty to intimidate Xiao Xiao."
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little unwilling.
"Is it General Li Jing again?"
General Li Jing has been returning to Chang'an City for some time after he defeated the Turks. He has always been afraid of his great achievements and shocked the master. He came directly because he has a leg problem and cannot recover at home. He will not meet with you, nor will he participate in these court meetings. , during this discussion, there was no General Li Jing.
When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said this, Li Shimin looked to the north.
“That’s all we can do, come on.
No, it’s better for you, Prince, to go and invite General Li in person. "
But just as Li Shimin finished speaking and everyone was complimenting Li Shimin's sage, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who was about to walk out of the hall and waved hurriedly.
"Forget it, Prince, you don't want to go either."
At this moment, everyone was stunned again. Why did we just talk about you Sheng Ming? Do you want to be a fool and ask the prince to invite a general? This is quite reasonable and reasonable. Why did you suddenly stop going? What do you want to do?
Just when everyone was looking at Li Shimin in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd, Citizen Li said straight away.
"It's better that we go visit General Li together. It's better to discuss this matter in General Li's mansion than to wait here and make random guesses."
When Li Shimin said this, everyone suddenly realized that they were complimenting Li Shimin here.
"Your majesty is wise, with such a wise king, can't our Tang Dynasty, Hechou, prosper for thousands of generations?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard their compliment, but Li Chengqian said it.
"Should we first arrange for a messenger to urgently summon General Yiying to make preparations or order Li Ying of the Anbei Protectorate to prepare?"
On top of this business, Li Chengqian was also a bit responsible. He would not open his mouth or keep silent about what happened to the master, but he still said Li Ying's name.
At this moment, everyone hurriedly turned around. Although Li Chengqian did not say what Li Ying was doing, he still had a high prestige in the North. The Turkic demons were not just talk.
Just when everyone was watching Li Chengqian expressing satisfaction with him, Li Shimin said directly.
"Quickly issue a decree to let Li Ying act expediently in the north, and kill as many Turks as he can as quickly as possible."
After Li Shimin said this, everyone was shocked.
I was surprised at Li Shimin's delegation of power to Li Ying, but also lamented that Li Ying had won His Majesty's trust. Moreover, several generals who had interacted with Li Ying on the battlefield also knew Li Ying's abilities. Here I watched Li Shimin compliment Li Shimin.
As long as Li Ying takes action, he can definitely reduce the losses caused by the resurgence of the Turks in the North to the greatest extent.
However, just as this decree was speeding towards the north, a group of close relatives of the emperor Li Shimin, led by Li Shimin, appeared at the residence of Wei Guogong Li Jing.
The door of Duke Li Jing's residence opened. After Li Jing demolished the screen wall of his residence, he rested boredly in the main hall, reading there with a book, completely showing that he had no disobedience. .
The meaning is very simple. I am so honest. Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me.
After Li Shimin and other civil and military officials came to Li Jing's door again, they couldn't help but look at each other in awe when they saw the appearance of Li Jing's mansion.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui whispered to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, this Duke of Wei is so straightforward. I hope your Majesty will not make things difficult for him."
After the two said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but glare.
"What do you think I do? Are you going to make things difficult for your general? Isn't this too ridiculous?"
Li Shimin said something to the two of them here. Although the two of them were scolded, they were very happy in their hearts. They were grateful to Li Shimin and saluted. This made Li Shimin very embarrassed and looked at the person next to him. people.
"Do you think that I am so ignorant of good and evil that I will hate them even if I have great achievements in the government? Have you forgotten that I am also a general? Is it a general of Tiance? I have been on the battlefield for a period of time. Now, don’t you have any courage at all?”
While Li Shimin and other generals were muttering here, they had already quickly walked into the residence of Duke Wei.
Li Jing, who was resting in the main hall, suddenly heard the noise at the door and hurriedly turned to look at the door. This was also because Li Jing was too cautious. There were not many guards left waiting for him. Even if there were some, they were doing it for him in the backyard. some food. There was no one to keep his eyes on the front.
When Li Shimin and the others came in, Li Jing was startled, hurriedly climbed up from the bed in the middle of the lobby, and ran out quickly.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing, has met. Long live my emperor."
After Li Jing packed his luggage, he looked at Li Chengqian and shouted again.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing, has met His Royal Highness, Prince."
But before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin stepped forward and pulled him up.
"My General Li, I heard that General Li was unwell, so we came here to visit you. It's just that you are unwell, why didn't you arrange a few people to take care of you?"
Li Shimin just finished talking about Li Jing and turned to Li Chengqian.
"Cheng Qian, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am a little busy and cannot come, so you will come here every now and then to serve General Li."
Li Shimin expressed his feelings in one sentence, which made Li Jing burst into tears with gratitude.
"Your Majesty, how can the veteran He De ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come and take care of me?"
It's just that Li Shimin didn't care what Li Jing said and was here clapping his hands.
"General Li, why can't you be the leader? You are the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty. Only General Li can arrange these 16 guards in a serious manner. General, do what needs to be done.”
When Li Shimin said this, Li Jing became even more frightened.
"Your Majesty is terrified."
Seeing Li Jing trembling here, as if he was going to fall over and show you if Li Shimin said anything again, Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
The scene temporarily came to a standstill due to a few words between Li Jing and Li Shimin. However, the group of generals behind Li Shimin came here because they had important matters waiting to discuss with Li Jing.
It's not the case to be so silent, Fang Xuanling said something.
"Your Majesty, we have business here."
After Fang Xuanling reminded him, Li Shimin reacted and looked at Li Jing talking here.
"General Li..."
Soon, Li Shimin told the situation in Beidi, and Li Jing was shocked.
"What? Such a situation should happen in the Northland, it shouldn't, it shouldn't! Not to mention the Anbei Protectorate, even the scholars like us who arranged to educate sentient beings will not let such a situation happen in the Northland. Although they Those who are full of knowledge are also full of benevolence, justice and morality, but isn’t this the best thing to do to establish our image for them? How could this be so?”
Li Jing was meditating here, and Li Shimin was also a little confused here.
"We don't know what this is about. Aren't we here to ask General Li to see if he can take charge of our Northern Army again? Completely pacify these Turks who dare to cause us trouble. "
Although Li Shimin was talking about comforting, his tone, expression, and actions everyone present knew that this was going to be a bloody scene. How could anyone just calm down the enemy?
Li Jing stood up hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, if you have an order, don't ignore it."
"This is what I, the General of the Tang Dynasty, should look like. Regardless of whether he is unwell or not, when I, the Tang Dynasty, need it, he resolutely puts on his armor and goes into battle again. This is really a role model for me, the General of the Tang Dynasty."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian, "Prince, General Li is not feeling well. Please stay with General Li and accompany him."
This time Li Chengqian was talking happily.
"Father, don't worry. My son will follow General Li closely and won't let General Li have any grievances."
The words of Li Chengqian and Li Shimin made Li Jing feel so grateful here that he almost cried.
