Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Sun rise.

Li Shimin came out of the room drunkenly.

Stretch and ask the soldiers at the door.

"Nothing happened last night?"

Before the soldier could answer, Li Zhi came over.

"Father."

Li Zhi held the wash water and waited for Li Shimin to wash his face.

"It's enough to let the soldiers do these things, why do they do it themselves."

When Li Shimin said this, he was very satisfied.

"It is right for sons and servants to serve the emperor."

After entering the room, he helped Li Shimin wash his face, and cleaned up the room again.

"There was no sneak attack last night, right?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Zhi replied: "No sneak attack, but a woman came last night, claiming to be the special envoy of the Queen of Silla."

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "The special envoy of the Queen of Silla? Why didn't you report it?"

Li Zhi smiled, but did not speak.

Li Shimin guessed that it was because he was drunk.

After washing his face indiscriminately, Li Shimin changed his clothes and found Li Jing.

"Li Weigong, where is the Special Envoy of Silla?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Jing said: "Still resting in the room."

Li Shimin sat down and said, "Xuan."

Li Jing immediately went to look for it himself.

At the door, Xue Rengui was guarding.

"General Xue, the emperor wants to see the special envoy of Silla."

Li Jing said.

Xue Rengui kept guard all night, he was afraid of accidents.

He knocked on the door, but the envoy didn't respond.

Xue Rengui pushed the door open and went in, but the special envoy was still asleep, apparently too tired from the journey.

"Special envoy, summoned by the emperor."

Xue Rengui gently pushed the envoy.

The special envoy of Xinluo woke up faintly, saw Xue Rengui, and got up quickly.

"Excuse me, did the Emperor of Tang summon me?"

the envoy asked in surprise.

"Yes, the emperor announces your audience."

Xue Rengui said.

The special envoy tidied up his clothes and did not take them off at night.

Follow Xue Rengui and meet Li Jing.

Three people entered the main hall.

Li Shimin sat in the middle, and all the generals got up, except Su Yu's salted fish.

"Silla's special envoy Jin Shu pays a visit to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

Special envoy Jin Shu paid homage.

The token and credentials are already in Li Shimin's hands.

"Flat body."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Special envoy Jin Shu got up.

"Queen Seondeok only sent you alone?"

Li Shimin asked.

It stands to reason that one emissary should not be sent, and it is not a breakout tip-off.

What's more, it's a woman.

Special envoy Jin Shubai said: "I'm not alone. There were eighteen people when we set off from Jincheng, the capital, but they all died, and I was the only one who arrived."

When everyone heard about it, they sighed endlessly.

It's actually not that far from Jinseong, the capital of Silla, to Anshiseong, but it's really dangerous to cross the enemy country.

"Courage is commendable, I admire it."

"You are a woman who can take on such a heavy responsibility."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

After being praised by Li Shimin, Jin Shu burst into tears.

After all, she is a woman, and only she knows the danger and heartache of completing the task alive.

"Everything that the queen wants to play is in the book of credentials."

"I understand that Silla is surrounded by Goguryeo and Baekje, and there are no generals in the court."

"It's just that I'm fighting Goguryeo here, so I'm afraid I don't have time to do it myself."

Li Shimin said.

Queen Seondeok's letter of credence said a few things. Besides being polite, she also asked Li Shimin to send a general to Silla.The book of state says that Silla has soldiers but no generals. If a general can be sent to lead the Silla army, they can attack Goguryeo from north to south.

This proposal is good, but Li Shimin is very embarrassed.

The one who can command the army of Silla must be a general.

But when the two armies were facing each other, when the fighting was in full swing, Li Shimin was unwilling to send his general out.

Li Jing, Yu Chigong, Xue Rengui...

These are generals, none of them will do.

How about sending Cheng Yaojin there?
Li Shimin immediately dismissed the idea.

Cheng Yaojin didn't do bad things in the past.

He is a fierce general who charges into battle, but he is not a general who commands thousands of troops.

Jin Shu bowed: "Show the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our Silla is also at war with Baekje."

"We don't have a general to lead us, and we are retreating on the battlefield. If Silla destroys the country, Baekje can take advantage of the situation and merge with Goguryeo. I'm afraid the situation will change drastically."

Li Shimin also knew what Jin Shu said.

Goguryeo and Baekje, the two countries are located in the north and south of the peninsula, and were cut by Silla.

Baekje soldiers were not seen on the battlefield because Silla held Baekje back.

If Silla can't stand it and Baekje goes north to join forces with Goguryeo, it will be troublesome.

"Generals, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked.

The generals talked a lot, and some said that they should go, but most of them thought not to go.

"Your Majesty, we are fighting against Goguryeo. We are too busy to take care of ourselves at this time. It is not appropriate to send people to Silla."

"We broke Anshicheng, an important town in Goguryeo. Gaisuwen must counterattack. The big battle is imminent. We should not send people to Silla."

"But if Silla is defeated by Baekje, the combined military strength of the two countries may not be more than 50?"

"What are you afraid of? We have Cannon and Shenji Battalion. Come and kill as many as you want."

Li Shimin listened to their discussion, but he had no idea.

Special envoy Jin Shu heard this very anxiously.

She came here this time to beg a general of the Tang Dynasty to go back.

This was specially explained by Queen Seondeok.

Cheng Yaojin came out, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I, old Cheng, can go."

Li Shimin said with disgust: "Back off."

Cheng Yaojin made fun of himself.

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Duke Lu, Silla doesn't have any good wine, what are you doing there?"

Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly: "My old Cheng ran all the way there just to drink?"

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty and the generals have different opinions, so I ask the son-in-law to make a decision."

When in doubt, ask Su Yu.

Li Shimin said to Old Chen: "Old Chen, go and see if that kid Su Yu is awake."

"According to the order."

Old Chen left the main hall and walked to Su Yu's room.

He didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open and walked in.

Su Yu slept on all fours on the bed, and had no intention of waking up at all.

"Young master, Lao Li is discussing matters in the main hall, please go over."

Old Chen said.

Su Yu opened his eyes, took a long breath, and stretched.

"He discusses matters, none of my business."

Old Chen said with a smile: "A female special envoy from Silla Kingdom said that she wanted to invite a general to command their army."

"Lao Li can't figure out whether he should send someone there."

Su Yu thought for a while, then said with a sinister smile: "Silla? Isn't the queen Queen Seondeok? She also has a cousin, Queen Zhendeok."

Su Yu got excited after thinking about it.

Sitting up from the bed, Su Yu quickly put on her clothes.

The soldiers were asked to fetch water, wash their faces, change their clothes, and comb their hair.

"Let's go and see the special envoy of Silla."

Su Yu went out with a smile.

Li Shimin waited in the main hall for a long time, but Su Yu did not come over.

"Xue Rengui, go and see your son, did you drink too much last night?"

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu walked in from the outside and said, "You think I'm you, you've had too much to drink."

Su Yu sat down next to Li Shimin.

"Are you the special envoy of Silla?"

Su Yu looked at Jin Shu and smiled.

Jin Shu didn't understand who this handsome guy was?It's not easy to answer Su Yu's words.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "This is my salted fish son-in-law Su Yu."
