Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After seeing the power of gunpowder, Li Shimin put all his thoughts on mining saltpeter after returning to the palace.

Some of the students in Lanxiang School were old, and Li Shimin found them out and appointed them as the directors of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for saltpeter mining.

Sujiazhuang sent [-] soldiers to Lao Chen to command.

Assist Su Yu in making gunpowder.

Li Shimin and Li Jing and a group of generals re-prepared weapons and equipment for the conquest of Goguryeo.

The original heavy weaponry was things like trebuchets.

Now it has been changed, and it has become Thunderbolt.

Moreover, with gunpowder to open the way, the number of planned conscription was also greatly reduced.

Li Shimin wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, but Li Jing and the others wanted to destroy Goguryeo as soon as possible, and then waited for Li Shimin's reward to pay off the debt.

Everyone is anxious.

However, the key to the success or failure of the conquest of Goguryeo lies in whether Su Yu will go or not.

This is what troubles them the most.

Li Shimin and Li Jing both wanted to ask Su Yu to come out of the mountain.

But this salted fish was sticking to the pot in Sujiazhuang, and it didn't move.

Dozens of monarchs and ministers plotted in the imperial study all day long, thinking about how to drag Su Yu out of Sujiazhuang.

But the final conclusion is: we are thinking about farts!

Lizheng Hall.

Li Shimin came in with a sad face.

The queen got up to greet her and asked, "Is there still no result in today's discussion?"

She knew that Li Shimin was playing tricks in the imperial study and wanted to get Su Yu out.

"Hey, there is no way. After discussing for a day, the final conclusion is still not good."

"The previous so-called ingenious strategies were slapped in the face by Su Yu, and I was scolded twice."

"It seems that it is impractical to invite Su Yu out of the mountain, so we should think of other ways."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

Li Shimin almost gave up, there is no good way this time.

The last time Su Yu was dragged to Yangzhou City, it was because of Old Chen.

Su Yu and Lao Chen have been together for so long, almost like brotherhood.

He was going to look for relatives, so it was impossible for Su Yu not to go.

This time there is no such good reason.

It is absolutely impossible to trick Su Yu out.

"Since the emperor has gunpowder, why bother Su Yu?"

the queen asked.

With an artifact like gunpowder, as long as you are not a fool, you can win battles.

Li Shimin can say that his whole life has been spent in military affairs, and he is good at fighting by himself.

What's more, a group of founding generals under his command are still available.

Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Chai Shao, Yu Chigong, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yaojin
With so many people, fighting is enough, so why not let Su Yu go.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I asked Su Yu, how about the conquest of Goguryeo this time?"

"He told me that the first expedition can kill the enemy and destroy the army, but it cannot destroy the country."

"There must be a second conquest, and then Goguryeo will be destroyed."

"I don't want to send troops twice, causing turmoil in the world and disturbing the people."

"If Su Yu can be dragged there, it will definitely destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop and save a lot of things."

Li Shimin had already asked Su Yu when to send troops and where to attack.

According to historical records, Su Yu told Li Shimin the route of attack.

But in history, although Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo for the first time and returned with a great victory, he did not kill the grass and roots.

Hit it again the second time.

Li Shimin didn't want to fight twice, so he wanted to pull Su Yu over to give command.

"So that's the case. No wonder the emperor tried every means to pull Su Yu over."

The Queen nodded.

It turns out that you can't win all at once.

Fighting two battles will indeed cause great harm to the people.

"Hey, this kid is good at everything, but he is too salty."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

The queen pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine has a plan, maybe it will work."

Li Shimin quickly asked, "Let's listen."

The Queen whispered, "Just so so"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "A wonderful plan."

Sujiazhuang.

Gongsun Lan held a short sword and was practicing sword skills in the yard.

Changle and Xiaosizi are bored, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, and eating every day
I don't have to do anything, I feel a little boring.

Li Shimin and the queen walked in.

Changle and Xiao Sizi stood up to greet them.

"Father, Queen Mother, didn't you say that you have something to do these days? Why are you here again?"

Chang Le asked.

A few days ago, Li Shimin was busy conspiring with the ministers, so he didn't have time to come here.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Come and see you."

Xiao Si pouted and said, "What do we have to see?"

The queen sat down and held the little si in her arms.

"Jinyang, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about getting married."

The queen laughed.

Speaking of getting married, Xiao Si blushed and said, "What kind of getting married, I don't want it."

He said so, but his eyes were fixed on Su Yu.

Princess Changle knew that Xiao Sizi was going to marry Su Yu in the end, so she didn't object.

"Don't want to get married, don't want to marry that brat?"

Li Shimin said.

"If so, then I will promise Jinyang to others."

The queen laughed.

Little Si got anxious and said, "No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going here."

Since following Su Yu, Xiao Si's dream is to marry Su Yu when she grows up and stay here for the rest of her life.

Even if it gets boring sometimes.

The queen laughed and said, "He said he didn't want to get married, so he wanted to marry Su Yu."

The little si fell into the queen's arms and said coquettishly, "Queen, what are you talking about?"

The queen hugged her little son, and suddenly said in embarrassment: "Jinyang, the queen mother knows that you like Su Yu, but Changle is already married to him."

"Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent of two princesses marrying a consort together."

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to convince the ministers of the court about this marriage."

This is not false.

I've never heard of two of the emperor's daughters marrying a son-in-law at the same time.

It's not proper.

The little si got anxious and said, "I don't care, if there wasn't one before, there wouldn't be one."

"As long as I get married, won't I have it in the future."

Xiao Sizi is quite daring to be the first.

I don't care what the ministers and others think.

Li Shimin frowned and shook his head and said: "This is not right, two princesses marrying a son-in-law, I will be scolded down the spine by historians."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, very embarrassed.

The little sizi burst into tears and cried, "If I can't marry Brother Su, I will become a nun or Taoist nun."

The queen hugged her little son and said to Su Yu: "My son-in-law, don't you want to say a few words?"

Su Yu heard clearly from the side, and thought clearly in his heart.

He knew that Li Shimin and the queen were acting.

But this method is too extreme.

He actually used Xiao Sizi to threaten and lure him to go to Goguryeo.

Su Yu said: "Old Li, you are so cruel, you threatened me with your little son."

Little Si didn't understand, and asked, "Brother Su, why did you say you were threatening you?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Si is still too young to understand how deep Li Shimin's routine is.

The queen said: "If you want to shut up the ministers in the court, you can only convince the public by letting your elder brother Su establish an inexhaustible honor."

Li Shimin took the opportunity to say: "For example, destroy Goguryeo."
