Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 322
"His Royal Highness, the veteran came today and brought you a gift, I hope you can accept it!"

As Niu Jinda spoke, he motioned to the servants behind him to bring a birdcage to Li Fu. Li Fu could see clearly that the birdcage was not a plaything like a canary, but a young eagle!
Niu Jinda introduced to Li Fu: "His Royal Highness, this is a young eagle that the old minister hunted on the grassland. I heard from people on the grassland that this eagle can be commanded by His Highness as long as it is properly trained."

Li Fu frowned, and looked at the young eagle in front of him. The little eagle in front of him was small and huddled, but his claws could be seen clearly. A burst of zoom in.

"This is actually Hai Dongqing!" Li Fu muttered to himself.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness also knows eagles, so it's easy to handle!" Seeing that Li Fu liked it, Niu Jinda smiled suddenly: "The old minister said the same thing when he asked the people on the grassland to recognize him, saying that this little guy has grown up and is extremely It's fierce, the prince must take good care of it."

Li Fu smiled, he will naturally take good care of it, after all, this is Costin!
Haidongqing on the grassland is a famous ferocious falcon. Because of its ferocious temperament and rare numbers, it is a totem worshiped by many tribes on the grassland.

With this thing, there is no need to worry about being attacked when fighting outside in the future. As long as this falcon is released, everything within a hundred miles will be invisible. Of course, Li Fu likes such a gift.

"His Royal Highness, there is no news from Beidi yet. The old minister has an unfeeling request, and I hope His Highness can agree!" Seeing that Li Fu accepted the gift, Niu Jinda made a request to Li Fu, which made Li Fu slightly surprised .

On the second day, in the Tai Chi Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and Niu Jinda and Li Fu were all in court.

Seeing Niu Jinda's wounds, the generals were filled with righteous indignation, screaming that if they wanted to destroy Gaochang Kingdom.

But Niu Jinda remained silent. Li Shimin waited for everyone to finish shouting, and then said: "I have already said that it is absolutely unacceptable to jump to conclusions and rush to send troops before the Northern Army report arrives!"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the weather in the Northland. It's not like our frontier army has never experienced it. For a country as small as Gaochang, if you give me [-] soldiers, I will definitely crush it within a month!"

"You don't need [-], just give me [-] horses and horses. I am willing to issue a military order, and I will definitely slaughter the city of Gaochang and destroy the country, and vent my anger for General Niu!"

The military generals clamored one after another, each outrageous than the other, but Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, and Li Ji, the Duke of England, remained silent.

As for the civil servants, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, at the head, never spoke up. They had all heard Li Shimin's previous verbal order that no military affairs should be discussed before the Northern Army Report arrived in Chang'an.

But in their hearts, they were quite dissatisfied with Li Shimin's caution.

But in the main hall, when Niu Jinda was about to bear the excitement, Li Fu accidentally held Niu Jinda back.

Niu Jinda became impatient. He originally begged Li Fu to speak for himself in the main hall today, and told Li Shimin not to rush to use troops against Beidi, but he didn't expect Li Fu to stop him.

Just when Niu Jinda was in a hurry, there was a long voice from the guards outside the hall: "Report, Duke Wu'an is back to court!"

The Duke of Wu'an County was Xue Wanche, and all the officials were stunned, and Niu Jinda was also stunned. Then he looked back at Li Fu's expression that seemed to be a half-smile, and he suddenly realized it.

Xue Wanche went up to the main hall in a hurry, came to the center of the main hall and knelt down to salute Li Shimin, and immediately reported.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have already verified that there was a sudden blizzard in Gaochang three days ago, the snow was three feet deep, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death. I have led the army to retreat to the border town. Please show me!"

Xue Wanche's words rang out in the main hall, and the generals who were still screaming just now were dumbfounded.

No one expected that there was really a blizzard in the Northland, and even Xue Wanche had to lead his troops to retreat to the border town. This shows how serious the snow disaster in the Northland must be.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xue Wanche's words. He had expected such a result, but it was not until he heard Xue Wanche say it with his own ears that he was completely relieved.

Of course, deep down in Li Shimin's heart, he still wanted to destroy Gao Chang as soon as possible, but the current situation did not allow Li Shimin to make such a decision.

So Li Shimin said to the officials in a deep voice: "Masters, you should have heard what the Lord of Wu'an said clearly. It is snowing in Gaochang. It is really unwise to attack Gaochang at this time. Therefore, we will discuss the matter of attacking Gaochang after the snow melts next year." .”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, none of the generals had any objections. When they heard the blizzard in the North and the snow in Gaochang was three feet deep, they were already scared. Who didn't know what the consequences would be if they marched under such circumstances!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Guogong Li Jing stepped forward and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, our army would have suffered heavy losses at this time, so our army should enter the winter training to prepare for the conquest of Gaochang next year!"

In Li Jing's words, it can be regarded as a decision on the matter of Gaochang, and the officials no longer entangled in this matter. This winter, Datang can finally have a stable new year.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and it finally snows heavily in Chang'an City. In such weather, it is naturally impossible for Li Fu to run around.

He is now inventing and creating in the East Palace in a different way. Myopia glasses and presbyopic glasses have been adjusted for him. Shen Wansan's shop has two more monopoly businesses.

However, Li Fu made a telescope out of this, which was deeply loved by Li Shimin, especially when he learned that Li Fu had listed the telescope as a prohibited item for military use, so he turned a blind eye to his son's means of making money. up.

But when Li Shimin heard that Cui Daohuai, the second wife of the Cui family, had returned to Chang'an, Li Fu specially invited Cui Daohuai and his son and Cui Xiufang to a banquet, but he did not invite him, but he was quite critical.

So on the day when Li Fu invited Cui Daohuai to the banquet, he came uninvited, Li Fu looked at Li Shimin's hostile look, and couldn't say anything, he could only invite His Majesty Tang into the main hall in a polite manner.

Although Li Fu is relatively lazy, if he really takes it seriously, he is also a master of dancing. Especially his banquets, just serving dishes, are amazing.

Those delicacies, which even Li Shimin had never seen often, were placed on the banquet table, and Li Shimin, who came here with the heart of finding fault, forgot his original intention of coming to the East Palace, and began to feast on it.

The civil and military officials present also gave Li Fu face, and did not deliberately pick on Cui Daohuai and his son.

Li Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, Cui Daohuai was also a sensible person, he didn't take the initiative to provoke Li Shimin, and even smiled and offered Li Shimin a drink.
