At this time, Li Shimin suddenly reacted.
Yes, tomorrow is the Yuan Dynasty meeting.
Hundreds of officials go to court, and ministers pay tribute.
As long as they are the ninth-rank or above Beijing officials, they must go to court, and the local state capitals are the envoys sent to Beijing to attend the meeting.
There were even candidates from the Imperial College and local prefectures and counties taking part in the imperial examinations of the Ministry of Rites, as well as envoys from surrounding foreign countries entering the dynasty.
And this boy is now the Marquis of the founding county. If he had no official position in normal times, he would naturally not have to go to court.
But now, where is the reason for not going to court?
In other words, this kid wants to enter the palace tomorrow!
"Why, you are Dr. Zhongsan. You have to take care of me tomorrow. I haven't entered the palace yet. Don't let others laugh. Also, do you think...can I see Li Er?"
Immediately, Tang Sufan patted Li Shimin on the shoulder again, as if you were the eldest brother and I was the younger brother.
Take, give your grandma a leg.
I will still be sitting in the Tai Chi Hall tomorrow, how can I take you with me?
or……
Think of a way to keep this kid from going? After finishing the Lantern Festival, I will make plans to reveal my identity.
But if I don’t go, the noble family will naturally have thousands of reasons to sue this boy. When the time comes, won’t the trouble still be mine?
But is there a showdown now? At this moment, Li Shimin hesitated.
In the end, Li Shimin said a few vague words, and his mind quickly became clear and his face straightened.
"By the way, has your boy's seal been delivered to you by the Royal Ceremony Department?"
"Seal? Royal uniform? What is that?"
Tang Sufan looked confused.
It turns out that this kid doesn't know anything, so it's easy... to explain.
Li Shimin then puffed out his chest and said calmly.
"Although your boy has been granted the title of Marquis now, it will naturally have to be reviewed by the Zhongshu Province, and then recorded by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Rites will then make the seal and nobility uniform according to the production. You have just been considered a marquis. Now you don't even have the seal and nobility uniform. How to enter the palace?"
Then Li Shimin said as if I was doing good for you: "Fortunately, I stopped you. If you go tomorrow, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"It just so happens that you are too lazy, so you will save a lot of effort tomorrow."
This dog emperor really can't control him.
Tang Sufan complained speechlessly in his heart.
Li Shimin had already climbed into the carriage and brought a lot of good things with him.
Slipping away...
Seeing Li Shimin's carriage hurrying away, Tang Sufan curled his lips.
Then he turned his head and glanced directly at the fence blocked by the shack at the corner of the alley.
It was originally a small fence, but just now it hid a person.
When the emperor goes on patrol, he naturally has secret guards.
Nowadays, Tang Sufan, whose body mechanism has changed greatly, is still unknown. Not only that, Lao Li, the dog emperor, must have buried some people around him.
Okay, just think of it as a free bodyguard, that's fine.
So I walked back to the yard with lazy steps~
…
The next day is the new year.
Zhenguan three years.
The north wind blows over the ground, and Chang'an is covered with snow.
Today's snow, set against the sun that has finally appeared, is like auspicious snow.
Today, in the imperial city, hundreds of officials come to court and foreign countries offer gifts.
Under strict etiquette standards, Taiji Hall held the first court meeting of the year, the Shangyuan Dynasty Meeting.
But it just happened that today, military intelligence came to report.
The Turks invaded the border, and an army of 30,000 troops approached the northwest border, Suizhou.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty was furious and frightened the foreign envoys who came to the court into silence.
It seems that the two countries are about to go to war.
We, small countries, should just shut up and save our lives as soon as we go back.
Go up to the court, Emperor Tang immediately reported
He said, "You are unkind, you tear up the covenant, you violate our border, and everyone and God are angry!"
Immediately, he directly announced to the world that the Tang Dynasty directly sent the heavenly army to fight in Mobei to attack Jieli and defend the power of the Tang Dynasty!
It can be said to be logical and reasonable.
So, after the big meeting ended.
Naturally, there were many people holding small meetings in Chengqing Hall.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and so on were all there.
The first day of the Lunar New Year was supposed to be a good one, but something like this happened, and all the giants of the Tang Dynasty were forced to work overtime.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in the first place, had a calm expression on his face at this moment, and the corners of his mouth even raised for a moment.
Where is the angry look on his face that was so powerful just now?
I've been waiting for you for so long and it's finally here.
Let me explain in advance, he wants to fight now, but not Li Shimin, who wants to fight.
Now it is logical and natural to send troops, whether it is inward or outward.
This is what Li Shimin has always wanted. The so-called wish comes true.
So as soon as he came to court, he quickly called a group of his confidants and came to discuss the military situation.
"Your Majesty, this time Jieli did not go straight to Jingzhou, defeat Wu Gong, and then cross the Weihe River. Instead, he went to Suizhou on the northwest border. There must be something mysterious about it~"
Fang Xuanling tugged on his beard, looked at the march map in front of everyone, frowned and said deeply.
Li Shimin also slowly softened his expression and frowned. This advantage gave him a reason to send troops, which was naturally good.
But the most important thing at the moment is the military situation in Suizhou, so we should wait for the battle.
The kid Su Fan's strategy of closing the country and clearing the country to show the enemy's weakness was also very effective.
The ministers looked at the march map in front of them and thought deeply.
If the Turks want to attack Chang'an, the best route is to start from Jingzhou, directly attack Wugong, then go down the Weihe River from Gyeonggi Road, and attack Chang'an directly.
But this time we went to Suizhou in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. Not only was it further away from Chang'an, it was like a half-circle.
This Jieli Khan was good at using cunning tactics, which can be seen from the fact that in the ninth year of Wude, he went straight to Chang'an with thunderous momentum, forcing Li Shimin to make the Weishui Alliance.
But now this military situation has made the emperor and his ministers have to think twice.
Afterwards, Changsun Wuji made a judgment in his heart, and then he spoke.
"Your Majesty, could it be that this Jieli... is trying to invade Suizhou step by step and fight a protracted battle to consume the strength of the Tang Dynasty? In addition, Suizhou is a land on the northwest border. I really can't figure out why they want to invade Suizhou. !」
So the important ministers were surprised and doubtful again, and there was a lot of discussion.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, give me, Old Cheng, 20,000 troops and horses, and let me, Old Cheng, go meet him!"
With a bunch of cowards, isn’t it all over?
"Know the rules and don't rush. Of course, you will fight the battle, but how to fight it still depends on the time!"
Li Shimin stood up slowly, turned around and asked Li Jing: "Pharmacist, what do you think?"
Then, everyone looked at Li Jing, the current military god of the Tang Dynasty, with sharp eyes.
At this time, Li Jing, who had been silent all this time, spoke, stood up, bowed slightly, and then walked to the military map.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this Turk is trying to encircle us!"
The ministers echoed: "Sign up with a point?!"
Li Jingzhi's words indeed confirmed what some people were thinking, but they were not convinced at first and did not dare to say it clearly.
"Oh? Tell me, Aiqing!"
"The reason why the Turks did not take the previous line of martial arts in Jingzhou, but instead attacked Suizhou, there is a big mystery in it. The border defense of Suizhou is weak, with only 7,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but now the Turks are attacking with 30,000 troops. Suizhou has not been captured for a day, so there is something fishy!"
"Could Li Shuai mean...this Turk wants to wait for support from other armies of the Tang Dynasty, and the nearest army is Jingde who is guarding Jingzhou? This Jieli wants to wait for the battle and lighten the defense of Jingzhou , then go down both ways, and then from
Jingzhou, go straight to Chang'an? "
At this time, Qin Qiong spoke in a deep voice.
This morning Li Jing was conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition and commanded 200,000 soldiers and horses to fight in Mobei. Now it is not impossible for him to be the commander-in-chief in this palace.
The Turks surrounded and attacked slowly. In a border place, 30,000 troops could not attack for a long time. Qin Qiong naturally discovered this long ago.
That's 30,000 people, a gap of more than five times, even if it's to defend the city.
But given the power of the Turks, if they really wanted to attack, what they received this morning was not the Turks' invasion, but the military report of the fall of Suizhou.
