A few breaths ago, Li Shimin was still lamenting that Su Chen was kind-hearted and did not like to kill without reason. He was not only compassionate to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also to the soldiers of other countries on the battlefield.

However, Su Chen suddenly became fierce, and when he said the last sentence, he showed his indifference to life, as if he had a deep hatred with those two countries.

Li Shimin stared at Su Chen in silence for a few breaths, frowned and thought to himself:

'Hiss~! Could it be that this kid had traveled to other countries and made enemies with people? '

'It's impossible! Su Chen is only sixteen years old and has never left Chang'an. ' Li Shimin shook his head slowly, denying what he thought in his heart.

'I must find out the reason. If I get the upper hand in the future, what's the harm in destroying these two countries? The country that can make Su Chen hate it is definitely not a good one and deserves to die! ' Li Shimin made up his mind, with a fierce look on his face, and nodded heavily.

Su Chen frowned slightly, stretched his neck and stuck his head out, staring at Li Shimin who shook his head and nodded.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Su Chen raised his palm and waved it in front of Li Shimin.

"What?" Li Shimin shook his head, shook off Su Chen's palm, and asked: "Boy, which two countries did you just talk about, what hatred do you have with them?"

"Hehe!" Su Chen smiled faintly and returned to his usual nonchalant look.

"Your Majesty, this is a long story. You only need to know that the country is very dirty, from the inside to the outside, with small details but no great justice."

"As for the other country... he is very shameless!"

The muscles at the corners of Li Shimin's mouth jumped uncontrollably, and he looked at Su Chen with contempt, and said in his heart: 'What does it matter to you if they are dirty and shameless? He actually looks like he has a deep hatred! ’

“Yeah? Your Majesty, what’s that look in your eyes?”

“You don’t believe what I said?” Su Chen felt the contempt in Li Shimin’s eyes and was so angry that he wanted to jump up immediately.

Li Shimin still looked at Su Chen with disdain.

Su Chen immediately rolled up his sleeves and decided to give Li Shimin a strong medicine.

“Your Majesty, have you heard of the thousand-year dream?”

Li Shimin’s nostrils blew a few wisps of hot air, drifting in the cold air.

Su Chen ignored Li Shimin’s disdain and continued:

“I tell you, more than a thousand years later, that shameless country spread rumors that your majesty was captured by them and knelt down to beg for mercy.” After saying that, he observed the changes in Li Shimin’s expression.

Seeing that Li Shimin had no reaction, Su Chen said again:

“They also said... that one of your majesty’s eyes was shot blind!”

Sure enough...

The emperor was furious.

He took a step forward and pinched Su Chen's shoulder, "Is it true?"

Su Chen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"How dare you! Which tiny country do you think that shameless country is, and where is it located?"

Su Chen tilted his shoulder to move Li Shimin's hand away, "Well... don't rush about this, that place is a bit far and it will be difficult to attack for a while."

I feel that the joke is a bit too much. If Li Shimin really wants to mobilize the whole country's troops to conquer Silla, the "food, clothing, housing and transportation" that has been slightly improved with great difficulty will be instantly destroyed and restored to its original state.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and ordered in a serious manner: "Fatty, study explosives well. In the future, I will plow the land of that shameless small country."

"Don't let go of even a single earthworm!"

"How dare you slander me like this!"

After venting his "anger", Li Shimin stole a glance at Su Chen. He didn't really believe Su Chen's nonsense just now.

A thousand-year dream?

Who would believe it!

But Li Shimin knew that Su Chen hated that shameless country very much.

This was enough.

"Well... It's windy outside, let's go back first!" Su Chen rubbed his hands and walked towards the manor with his arms folded.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai and whispered: "A thousand-year dream, do you believe it?"

Li Tai shook his head.

Back at the manor, it was almost 3:00 PM

Empress Changsun and the others walked around the manor and returned to the living room early to wait for Li Shimin.

"I will summon the Western Regions envoys to the court tomorrow morning. You must be there!"

Li Shimin had previously cooperated with Su Chen's "Thousand Years of Dreams" for this very reason.

Not only will Su Chen be in the palace tomorrow, but Princess Changle and Li Tai and other princes and princesses will also be back in the palace.

If only the Western Regions envoys were to come to the court, it would be fine to follow the normal procedures. This time, the Western Regions princes and princesses are coming, and as the host, it is reasonable to treat them to a meal.

"I am... Your Majesty, is this necessary? What am I going to do!"

Su Chen was about to refuse before he could think about it, but he saw Li Shimin's "fierce" eyes glaring at him.

"The court is at 7 o'clock, and you have to get up at 5:30. It's probably not even dawn yet. Only a fool would go! It's so cold, isn't it better to stay on the kang?"

SuChen didn't know that Li Shimin had changed the time of the morning court.

"Su Chen, you don't know yet, the morning court is now changed to the hour of Chen, which means it starts at eight o'clock." Seeing Su Chen's sad face, Empress Changsun explained with a smile.

"Eight o'clock! Then you have to get up at half past six!" Su Chen glanced at Li Shimin and felt that he couldn't avoid the morning court tomorrow.

Su Chen accepted his fate and nodded weakly. "Okay, I'll try to get up early tomorrow!"

"Haha, you don't have to get up early tomorrow!" Li Shimin laughed.

Su Chen was delighted: "Your Majesty, don't joke!"

Li Shimin nodded and smiled, "You will go back to the palace with me today and stay in the palace tonight, so you can save the time of getting up early and traveling."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will get up early tomorrow and I will definitely not be late for the morning court at eight o'clock!" Su Chen immediately stood up and promised.

"Staying overnight in the palace? I'd rather get up an hour earlier!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Empress Changsun.

He then looked at Li Tai, "Qingque, you all go back to the palace tomorrow!" Thinking that tomorrow was Monday, "Chi Nu and Li Shen will go to class as usual, so they don't have to go back to the palace."

Li Shimin forgot that Princess Changle also had to go to class tomorrow.

"Yes, father!"

Li Tai didn't dare to refute what Li Shimin said in person.

Then Li Shimin looked at Su Chen again and asked, "In your opinion, are there any other omissions in discussing trade with the Western Regions envoys during the morning court tomorrow?"

Su Chen shook his head. He had said everything he should have said in the imperial study before.

"Your Majesty, I personally feel that the Western Regions do not seem to have any hostility towards the Tang Dynasty, or they have no bad intentions, otherwise they would not be assured of letting the princes and princesses of the Western Regions come to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to talk to them about the transaction, and there is nothing else to be wary of."

"Well, your idea is consistent with what I think." Li Shimin nodded in agreement with Su Chen's idea, and then said: "I will hold a banquet in the palace at noon tomorrow, and you will be responsible for this matter."

Li Shimin assigned Su Chen another task, and Li Shimin would not think it was too much to eat hot pot three times in a row.

"How many tables?"

Su Chen readily agreed.

Li Shimin thought for a while and gestured five fingers, just the number of one hand!

Su Chen gestured a strange hand gesture:

"Okay, I will make sure the arrangement is clear!"
