Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Isn't he the one who took down the seven cities in Western Liaoning?"

"To have such a god of war descended from heaven is the greatest blessing of your Datang."

"It's also the last person we want to see."

"Master Gao, as long as you can convince the king of Youzhou to send troops to help."

"I promise you, except for the gold, silver and jewelry presented to Datang."

"I will also give you, especially you King Youzhou, a richer amount of gold and jewels."

"what do you think?"

Speaking of this, Gao Jifu smiled slightly.

"King Rongliu, I will tell you the truth."

"Our King of Peking has a very high vision, and has always been highly rewarded by His Majesty and the court."

"It is not said that there are mountains of gold, silver and jewels at home, but there are not many business trips."

"At the same time, he has always loved soldiers like a son."

"He may not be able to see the gold, silver and jewelry you gave."

"Especially, it is even more impossible to take the lives of many soldiers in vain just because of some money."

Gao Jifu's words, go around and around, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Hearing that, King Rongliu was also furious.

This is the case with the officials of the Central Plains.

Talking and doing things are very subtle and cryptic.

"Master Gao, you should not stay here for too long."

"Lest the partition wall has ears and cause danger."

"Judging from what you said, there should be a chance for this matter to be accomplished."

"Whatever you want, you might as well say it and listen."

Hearing this, Gao Jifu also nodded.

"King Rongliu, our Majesty and King Beiping are people who care about the world and love the people like their own sons."

"This time I came to Goguryeo, and along the way, I met too many poor Central Plains people who stayed here during the Sui Dynasty."

"They have stayed here for more than [-] years, and it is hard to leave their homeland. They are looking forward to returning to their hometown one day and night."

"If you can agree to send them all back to their homeland, I think this matter can be discussed."

Chapter 816

Listening to Gao Jifu's words, King Rongliu hardly thought about it.

He nodded very simply in agreement.

"Master Gao, I promise you this condition."

"As long as you Da Tang help me stabilize the situation."

"When your army is withdrawing, those people left by the Sui Dynasty will leave if they are willing."

"You can take them all back."

"At the same time, as long as the matter is completed, I promised to give you, Mr. Gao, and you Youzhou King a generous gift."

"It will still be offered in full."

Hearing King Rongliu's words, Gao Jifu was also very happy in his heart.

Without further ado, after two days, he finished his mission and returned to Huaiyuan City in a hurry.

In order to feed back this important information to Li Qiu and His Majesty in Chang'an City.

……

Inside Chang'an City, East Palace.

After drinking the grassland "wonderful medicine" given by Xinxin.

Li Chengqian's legs and feet are getting better and better.

You can even ride a horse alone, up and down freely.

For his improvement, Li Shimin and the ministers of the East Palace were naturally overjoyed.

However, this medicine has greatly cured Li Chengqian's foot disease.

But at the same time, it also brought great changes to Li Chengqian's mind.

In the past, Li Chengqian was worried and troubled all day long.

Worried about his foot disease, worried about not being able to inherit the great line.

But now, what little ambition he had seemed to have been polished away.

Turned into a hobby of singing and dancing, wine and food.

The cost of supply and demand is extremely extravagant.

He also became obsessed with hunting on horseback.

In the huge East Palace, it was like playing flowers.

The only thing is that he is indifferent to state affairs, government affairs, and his own wife and children.

But in his heart, the fear of Li Shimin has not diminished.

Because he was worried that his father would know what he did on weekdays.

First, with the assistance of Xin Xin, he cleaned and replaced the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace.

They have all become very confidantes of their own.

to prevent disclosure of secrets.

At the same time, he was outside the East Palace, or when he was meeting Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda and other confidant ministers.

The word loyalty and filial piety cannot be separated from the mouth.

When it comes to being moved, I still have to squeeze out a few tears.

After returning to the inner courtyard of the palace, he continued to have sex with the group of young people.

There is a saying that what is good at the top is good at the bottom.

In order to please Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanchang, king of Han, and Qin Ying, a Taoist priest, changed their ways to help Li Chengqian think about their daily fun.

It made Li Chengqian enjoy playing it even more.

One of Li Chengqian's favorite games is to divide the people in the Eastern Palace into two teams.

The prince and Li Yuanchang each unified one.

Being covered with felt armor and holding hands, Bu Chen shouted to fight, stabbed and bled, thinking it was entertainment.

When it was time for joy, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Let me be the son of heaven today, and tomorrow I will set up a camp of ten thousand people in the garden, and divide the generals with the king of Han, and watch him fight. Wouldn't it be fun!"

"If there are admonishers, they will be killed, but only a few hundred people will be killed, and everyone will decide for themselves..."

Those confidant ministers still heard about what the prince did on weekdays.

But every time there is someone who wants to remonstrate, Li Chengqian first guesses what it means.

Noir greets and worships, sits in fear, takes blame and blames himself, argues with words, and the courtiers are too busy to answer.

The secrets in the East Palace are unknown to outsiders, so they are in the eyes of everyone outside.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also earned some fame.

……

Right now, it's summer.

Compared with previous years, it is unusually hot.

Especially in the imperial city, where Li Qiu and others work.

It's even hotter.

Even Li Qiu, who was young and strong, felt a little unbearable.

Not to mention that Fang Xuanling waited for some years.

Another one is Tang Jian.

With his weight and figure, he was like a stove when he sat there.

Sweat rained down.

Seeing that he was suffering too much, Fang Xuanling was kind.

Tell him to go home and rest at noon, so he doesn't have to come.

Anyway, Li Qiu's government affairs are on the right track.

No matter how much Cheng Mingzhen came to help him as a secretary, Tang Jian didn't come for a long time, and it didn't have any substantial impact.

Of course, this Tang Jian is also a fastidious person.

He leaves before noon every day.

Come back every time the sun is westward.

Work overtime until midnight when it is cool.

It's not a delay either.

On the other hand, Li Shimin was too hot in the palace.

Simply take the eldest grandson empress to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

This kind of thing, which is related to the pain of the Holy Majesty, naturally, the officials pretended not to see it.

But Wei Zheng still spoke up, thinking that now is the critical period of many battles.

His Majesty went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

It is such a long time, it will definitely delay the state affairs.

Is something wrong?

Regarding Wei Zheng, Li Shimin also sighed lightly.

"Wei Zheng, I deeply agree with your words."

"It's just that I have qi disease, and I often play in summer, so I avoid it."

Seeing that Li Shimin had said this, Wei Zheng naturally had no reason to stop him.

For him, Li Shimin also felt a little guilty.

He directly rewarded Wei Zheng with fifty bolts of silk as a reward.

Generally, Wei Zheng would do this kind of thankless work that would easily anger the Holy Majesty in the entire court.

But now, there is another Yushi Ma Zhou in the court.

After Li Shimin insisted on going to Jiucheng Palace, Ma Zhou went directly to Jiucheng Palace to admonish him.

"Your Majesty, your bedroom is in the palace city, and the Da'an Palace is to the west of the palace city."

"Compared to His Majesty's palace, the scale is still small, and it is not enough for viewing and listening from all directions."

"Also, the Supreme Emperor is now in his prime. As a son of man, His Majesty should watch food day and night."

"Jiucheng Palace is going to the capital for more than three hundred miles. The Supreme Emperor may miss His Majesty from time to time. Why is Your Majesty going there?"

"Also, Your Majesty is driving here to escape the heat."

"And the Supreme Emperor is still staying in the summer, while His Majesty lives alone in Beijing, and the ceremony of warming the Qing is not safe."
