Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

The queen said that she was terrified, and she was naturally worried about a coup d'état in Chang'an City.

"The last time I felt this way was during the Xuanwu Gate."

said the Queen.

She knew that Li Shimin didn't want to mention the change of Xuanwu Gate, so she never said it.

She has been really restless these days.

Li Shimin pondered, "Don't worry about Guanyin's maid, the crown prince is under house arrest in the East Palace, and the guards outside belong to Shubao."

"For this expedition, I deliberately left Shubao to lead the imperial army, as well as the guards of Chang'an City."

"With him here, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Also, if the bad guys don't follow the expedition this time, they will keep an eye on Chang'an City in the dark."

"Don't worry, there are people watching inside and outside."

Qin Qiong is one of Li Shimin's most trusted ministers.

After Xuanwu Gate killed Li Jiancheng, Qin Qiong had nightmares at night, and it was Qin Qiong who guarded the gate.

The Xuanjia Army and Yulin Army in the palace are now under his command.

As Li Shimin's confidant and important minister, and has led the army to fight for many years, with Qin Qiong in charge, there will be no chaos in Chang'an City.

At least, Li Shimin thinks so.

Especially bad people, watching every move of the ministers in the dark.

After hearing this, the queen felt a little more at ease.

"The concubine wishes the emperor a victorious battle and an early triumph."

said the Queen.

Li Shimin took the Queen's hand and said, "Don't worry, with Su Yu here, this battle will definitely be won."

The queen also knew that with Su Yu leading the troops out, it was only a matter of time before the Western Turks were wiped out.

"That's good."

the queen said softly.

"The concubine cleans up for the emperor."

The queen got up, called Mo Yu in, and helped Li Shimin prepare things together with Eunuch Gao.

While he was busy, Wei Zheng took his eldest son Wei Shuyu to the door.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong and Wei Concubine are asking to see you."

Eunuch Gao said.

Li Shimin let them in.

"My minister pays homage to the emperor and empress."

The two prayed at the same time.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Let's be flat, we are all one family."

Wei Shuyu married the princess, so it can be regarded as a family.

However, this is just polite talk and cannot be true.

Except for Su Yu, the son-in-law Niucha, the other son-in-laws are all courtiers.

Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu thanked Pingshen.

"Why are you here?"

Li Shimin asked.

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I request that the dog go out with the army and contribute to the Great Tang."

Last time, Cheng Yaojin gave Wei Zheng an idea, saying that when Su Yu went to the Western Regions, Wei Shuyu would follow him in the battle, and get a little credit for the title.

Now that the time has come, Wei Zheng is here.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Duke Zheng, everyone says you are upright and upright, no matter what you learn, you can learn like Cheng Mangfu."

Li Shimin saw through Wei Zheng's attempt at a glance.

Now that it was revealed, Wei Zheng was not embarrassed, and simply said it directly.

"Your Majesty, the two sons of Yi Guogong and Cheng Mangfu both have military merits."

"The calculation of the three son-in-laws means that my son has no military exploits."

"I think back then, their son also got an advantage by following Su Yu on the expedition to Liaodong."

"This expedition to the Western Regions should also bring some honor to this humble minister."

Wei Zheng said bluntly.

The Queen smiled and said: "That's not bad, the two of them took advantage of it, and it makes sense to let Zheng Guogong go this time."

Wei Zheng hurriedly climbed up the pole, and said: "The Queen's Majesty has learned a lesson."

The queen said good things for Wei Zheng, and Li Shimin was not good at taking the queen's face.

"Then let him go out with the army, go back and get ready, and report to Beidaying on the fourth watch tomorrow."

Li Shimin said.

Wei Zheng was overjoyed, and bowed: "The emperor is a sage, the emperor is the most enlightened emperor and lord beyond the ancient and modern."

This wave of rainbow farts came out of Wei Zheng's mouth, which made Li Shimin get goosebumps all over his body.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Li Shimin is not used to it.

Wei Zheng took Wei Shuyu to leave.

The queen laughed and said, "It's rare for Zheng Guogong to say good things, why doesn't the emperor like it?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "He should say some nasty things."

The queen continued to pack her things.

Early the next morning, when Li Shimin came out of the palace, He Meng escorted the car and drove to the camp in the north of Chang'an City.

Li Jing has rectified the army, the generals are Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui, Xu Shiji, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao.

All the civil and military ministers in the court came to see them off.

Li Shimin came riding on a horse, wearing a golden armor and holding a carved bow.

"The last general, Li Jing, pays homage to the emperor."

Li Jing paid a marching salute, and the others followed suit.

Li Shimin took a glance, Li Zhi and Wei Shuyu were also in the army.

"Who are you?"

Li Shimin asked, pointing to a general in his 40s.

This man was very majestic, with a murderous look in his eyes.

This person came out and bowed: "The last general Su Dingfang pays homage to the emperor."

Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Su Dingfang?"

Li Shimin was not very impressed.

Li Jing bowed and said: "Qizou the emperor, this person is a general under the last general's tent, and he once broke through the Jieliya tent with the last general."

Li Shimin asked strangely: "Then why didn't I know?"

It stands to reason that such a powerful general, he should know.

Su Dingfang replied: "Ashamed, there are too many generals in the court, and the last general is no more than the light of a firefly."

This is not a modest polite statement, it is true.

Su Dingfang is very powerful, but there are too many strong players in the early stage, so he is not conspicuous enough.

"It's because I don't know people well, and I failed Ai Qing."

Li Shimin said happily.

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Xu Shiji are all old, and Xue Rengui is the only young general.

Now that there is one more Su Dingfang, how could Li Shimin not like it.

Li Jing reported: "This time Su Dingfang was sent to the battle, it was appointed by the son-in-law. He said that Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui would make great contributions in this battle."

Originally, Su Dingfang hadn't planned to join the battle.

Su Yu specifically told Li Jing that Su Dingfang must be allowed to join the battle.

At that time, Li Jing was a little surprised why Su Yu singled out Su Dingfang.

Li Shimin was even more surprised, and pulled Su Dingfang to look carefully.

"Okay, General Zhifeng, you and Xue Rengui will follow King Jin together."

Li Shimin said happily.

Su Dingfang was secretly happy, and said: "The last general takes orders."

Needless to say, Xue Rengui, Su Yu's direct descendants made great contributions in the battle of Liaodong.

Li Shimin juxtaposed him with Xue Rengui, and they both followed Li Zhi, which was self-evident.

Li Zhi said: "I thank my father, my son."

All the ministers saw in their eyes and knew that Li Zhi had won another general to assist the country.

Li Shimin stepped up to the general platform, and said to the ministers and soldiers below: "Western Turks repeatedly invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty, and last time they assassinated in Chang'an City."

"Such heaven-defying thieves, the sky will destroy them."

"Today, I obey the order of the heavens and send troops to the Western Regions, and I swear that I will destroy them."

"All the officers and men should move forward enthusiastically and establish immortal achievements."

The soldiers below shouted long live, and the armor reflected the sun.

Li Shimin waved his whip and pointed, and the army marched to the northwest.

Li Shimin got on the horse, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui rode horses and rode side by side, Li Shimin asked in a low voice along the way.

The three of them traveled 30 miles before returning to Chang'an City.
