Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"My dear friends, the Tubo envoy has left, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Shimin laughed.

Finally, the Tubo envoy was sent away.

According to Su Yu, a potential crisis was prevented, and Songtsen Gampo was foreshadowed for his early death.

From now on, Tubo will be divided and will not pose a threat to the Central Plains.

Li Daozong was baffled by Li Shimin's operation.

What does this mean, king?
Replace courtship with an old monk?

Only then did Li Jing realize that the order to send Niu Jinda to enter Songzhou last night was originally for the foreshadowing of today.

Wei Zheng came out and bowed, "Your Majesty, we have rejected Tubo's marriage proposal. I'm afraid they won't let it go. I think we should send troops to Hexi to prepare for war."

Generally speaking, what Wei Zheng said is correct.

But Li Shimin already knew the outcome, so he was calm and didn't care at all.

"The Great Tang and Tubo are good neighbors. How can we send troops to Hexi? It will only increase suspicion, which is inappropriate."

"If there is nothing else, let's retreat."

Li Shimin smiled and got up and walked back.

This made Wei Zheng anxious, and shouted: "Your Majesty, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger. How can you not send troops because of good neighborliness?"

I really don't understand why Li Shimin became like this.

Stupid?
Li Jing pulled Wei Zheng and persuaded him: "Duke Zheng, don't talk about it, the emperor has never miscalculated."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng suddenly came to his senses.

The emperor has made arrangements long ago, why didn't he say anything on purpose?
"Humph."

Wei Zheng was unhappy again.

Li Jing knew that he, Wei Zheng, was kept in the dark and was upset.

Flicking his sleeves, Wei Zheng walked out of the court angrily.

Cheng Yaojin put his hands on Li Jing's shoulders, and said with a naive smile: "Li Yaoshi, do you think Wei Zheng looks like a little daughter-in-law?"

Li Jing laughed and said, "Like, really like."

back to the harem,

Li Shimin is in a good mood.

He plotted against Tubo, and took revenge on Minghui Bald Donkey.

Su Yu's strategy is really vicious.

"The emperor is so happy? I think Tubo has dealt with it."

the queen asked.

"It's been dealt with. It's a pity that Songtsan Gampo was ordered to die by Su Yu at a young age. He was 34 years old, and he will not live for a few years."

When Li Shimin mentioned this, he felt a little creepy.

When the date of death is told, the days to come are like waiting to die.

"52, 52"

Li Shimin repeatedly muttered about the date of his death, and his scalp tingled just thinking about it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Didn't Su Yu say that, as long as you follow him, it's not a problem to live to a hundred years old."

Queen comforted

Ever since Su Yu said that Li Shimin's longevity was broken last time, he was often restless, and only felt safe in Sujiazhuang.

"Let's go to Sujiazhuang. I always feel uncomfortable in Chang'an City."

The two changed their clothes and took Shangguan Yun to Sujiazhuang.

Half a month later,

Li Shimin is in court, discussing this year's spring plowing and the promotion of the three major crops of corn to the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I think that a new agricultural promotion order should be established to be responsible for the promotion and planting of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, so as to ensure that all major states and counties of the Tang Dynasty can be planted this year."

"In the coming year, it is guaranteed that the entire Tang Dynasty can be planted."

"If that's the case, within three years, the family will be able to provide enough."

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, pays homage to him.

Last year, the harvests in Guanzhong and Luoyang were bumper, and the Hanjia warehouse and Luokou warehouse could not hold them.

In winter, Li Shimin ordered people to build ten large granaries to store grain.

Having tasted this sweetness, this year Li Shimin will promote it to the entire Tang Dynasty.

"That's right. This matter cannot be delayed. It must be done before the spring plowing."

"The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hotter than in Chang'an. It's early in the summer, so we must hurry up."

"The matter of pushing the agricultural order is approved, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will discuss it."

"Pushing the agricultural order is no small matter. I designate myself as the first rank to push the agricultural order, and the officials of the state and county are better than the prefect."

Li Shimin raised the level of pushing the farming order, so that there is pressure.

Today's emperor takes the lead, who dares not to do it.

"Emperor Shengming."

Wei Zheng saluted loudly.

Such a sudden voice made Li Shimin tremble with fright.

This farmer's voice was so sudden that it almost gave me a heart attack.

"Did Zheng Guogong not say anything?"

Li Shimin said tentatively.

Now the two of them are digging holes for each other in the court hall.

Wei Zheng guessed that there was an expert behind Li Shimin, so he was very cautious every time, and dug a hole for Li Shimin from time to time.

Li Shimin also knew that Wei Zheng's mind had changed, so he was cautious every time he asked him.

"This is the work of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and I have no objection."

Wei Zheng paid homage.

Li Shimin is very satisfied, Wei Zheng is very sensible today.

"However, where did these three crops come from? I have been asking for two years, but the emperor still hasn't told me."

Wei Zheng is here again.

I have been holding on to one thing for two years.

Li Shimin really wanted to say: Su Yu gave it to him, how about it, Mr. Tian She!

When Li Shimin was in a dilemma, he sent it to eight hundred miles outside to expedite it.

"Report, hurry up at [-] li in the west of Hexi."

Soldiers rushed in.

Li Shimin received the urgent report, and when he opened it to read it, his expression was cloudy and uncertain.

The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot, not knowing what happened.

"Could it be that Tubo attacked?"

"It could also be Tuyuhun."

"It might be Ashina Helu, that fellow threatened to rescue Jieli from Chang'an City."

Li Shimin reported the battle to Li Jing.

Eunuch Gao picked it up and walked down to Li Jing.

Cheng Yaojin ran over to look, and squinted his eyes for a long time.

Wei Zheng was anxious, and pushed Cheng Yaojin away: "I don't know Dou Da's characters, so why join in the fun."

"Tian Sheweng, what are you writing?"

Cheng Yaojin was not angry, because he was not very literate.

Wei Zheng was shocked when he saw it: "Tubo gathered [-] soldiers and horses to attack Songzhou."

The ministers of the DPRK and China are fried.

Songzhou is not a big place, but it can cut off the Hexi Corridor.

This Songtsan Gampo was really smart, and he chose a very tricky location to attack.

"Your Majesty, if Songzhou falls, I will not own the land of Hexi."

Changsun Wuji said.

"Your Majesty, please send [-] troops and [-] horses to Songzhou."

Xu Shiji asked for a fight.

According to the fact that Tubo has [-] troops, Datang needs [-] soldiers.

When the number of troops is equal, Datang will surely win.

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty was generally one to ten.

In Anxi Dufu, according to the records of "Tang Liudian", there are [-] permanent soldiers, which is enough to deter the Western Regions.

That's why Xu Shiji said that he wanted [-] soldiers.

While others were discussing, Li Jing didn't say a word.

Sure enough, the emperor guessed again.

It's just that this time the emperor only asked Niu Jinda to lead 600 soldiers to guard Songzhou, isn't he too confident?

600 elite soldiers fought against 10 Tubo soldiers, and this time the Tubo Prime Minister Nei Bao personally led the troops.

I'm afraid it's not good.

"Li Weigong, you are Minister of the Ministry of War, why don't you speak?"

Wei Zheng questioned Li Jing.

At this moment, it was Li Jing who should be most anxious.

Li Jing gave the battle report to Wei Zheng and said, "The emperor has already made arrangements for this matter."
