Datang: I was tricked by the system

"Wait, let someone call Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng to me."

When the chief servant was about to leave, Li Shimin stopped him again. In the current situation, it is better to call more people to discuss countermeasures.

Li Shimin rubbed his sore brows, a little exhausted.

"The minister waits to see the saint."

"My dear friends, you don't need to be formal. I think you already know the purpose of asking you to come. Now let's talk about it. How should we deal with the current situation?"

drought.

The riots of the people.

Turkic attack.

Li Yi's rebellion.

Every pile of piles made Li Shimin anxious.

"Saint, I think, Yi... Li Yi, we should adopt a soft policy." Du Ruhui was the first to speak.

He has been waiting for an opportunity to plead for Li Yi these days, but he didn't expect to wait for the news that Li Yi occupied Youzhou today.

This made him both shocked and worried.

Now Datang can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, and the inner anxiety of their courtiers is no less than that of Li Shimin.

"What is Huairou?" Li Shimin asked indifferently.

"I think that Li Yi's rebellion this time has his last resort. The saint should make an imperial decree and send suitable people to lobby. Li Yi is willing to rebuild the relationship between father and son with the saint. If not, he must be persuaded to put aside personal grievances for the time being. , unanimously external..."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, "My old Cheng agrees with Cai Guogong's suggestion."

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"What are you all looking at me, old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin said with his eyes wide open.

Li Shimin frowned, how could he not understand, Du Ruhui's so-called soft policy was to make him admit his weakness, say good things to Li Yi, admit his mistakes, after all, he was the one who forced him to rebel.

But...he is also the king of a country after all, and Li Yi is still his son in name. There is no reason in this world for an old man to be in love with his son.

"I don't agree with this matter. It is true that Li Yi was framed, but he obviously had the evidence at the time, but he finally chose to commit treason by cutting off his blood. This shows that he has long had the intention of treason in his heart."

"There are no wrong parents in the world, only children who do something wrong. There is absolutely no reason for a father to admit his mistakes to his son."

Wei Zheng's words touched Li Shimin's heart.

He nodded in agreement.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and looked troubled, "There is a saying that chooses the most important of two benefits and the least of two evils. Chang'an City's troops are limited. If you have to choose between Li Yi and Turkic, I think Li Yi should be chosen."

"After all, with the door closed, Li Yi is still from the Tang Dynasty, while the Turks are from a foreign race."

It's not a shame to lose face in your own family, but it's really a shame to lose face in front of others.

Fang Xuanling has been in touch with Li Yi many times, and knows that he is a person with his own principles and will not distinguish between right and wrong.

Li Shimin's face was a little stiff, no matter whether he was in love with Turk or Li Yi, he was unwilling, but...

"As for the drought in Guanzhong, I have a solution."

"Say it!"

These few things, no matter which ones, are very troublesome for Li Shimin, if one can be solved, then there is one less thing.

When Hebei was in drought before, it was Li Yi who asked for rain. Now that they have broken up, they can't go to Li Yi anymore.

As soon as Fang Xuanling said that there was a solution, everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Before Li Yi left, he took away the villagers of Anju Village and the land of several nearby villages, and left there a lake with the largest area so far. If we dig a river channel and build a dam to divert the water there Guanzhong, this problem will naturally be solved.”

"The method Fang Qing said is feasible, but..." Li Shimin was very moved by this method, "Chang'an has insufficient troops, what should we do?"

Not to mention the need to mobilize troops to resist the Turks, even the current riots of the people need troops to suppress them. If you want to build water canals, I'm afraid no one will be available.

In this way, this method is useless.

After all, it was all because of insufficient troops. If he had sufficient troops, he would not be afraid of Li Yi or Turks.

Fang Xuanling nodded, "This question has also been thought of, we can mobilize the people to help, or go directly to the people to collect corvees."

"At present, this is the only way to do it."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said, "Du Ruhui, I will leave Li Yi to you. Tomorrow, you will go to Youzhou with my will to persuade Li Yi."

"Wei Zheng, you are in charge of building the dam, and the people in Guanzhong can count on you."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui said at the same time.

Then Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing again, "On the Turkic side, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin will lead the troops to resist."

"Datang, I'll leave it up to you all."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"The minister must fulfill his mission."

On that day, everyone started to take action.

……

Youzhou!

After Li Yi took down the Dongyi Protectorate, he took all the surrounding counties under his control in one go.

Of course, Li Yi's goal is not just Youzhou.

But there is no hurry now, the first thing is to find a place to release the people in the universal portable space.

"Master, there are a few deserted villages eighty miles away from here, which are just right for the villagers to live in."

After receiving Li Yi's order, Hualian asked people to search for it, and soon brought back news.

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work." Li Yi nodded and said, "Take me for a walk."

"Yes."

Hualian asked someone to bring the horse, and the two got on the horse and went straight to the deserted village.

After Li Yi observed the terrain and made sure that it would not affect the normal life of others, he released all the people, places, and houses in the universal portable space.

As soon as the villagers of Anju Village came out, they saw Li Yi, and immediately chattered.

"Hey, where did you go just now? Why can't we find you?"

"That's right, where are the pursuers? They withdrew?"

"Are you all right?"

Li Yi smiled, because the surrounding environment has not changed, and the villagers in Anju Village don't know that they have come to Youzhou from Chang'an.

Seeing that they were all concerned about him, he explained: "Don't worry, everyone, the chasing soldiers can't come here."

"That's good, then we can rest assured." The villagers patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shan Xian and Shan Ling'er had already arrived in front of Li Yi at this time, Shan Linger's eyes were red, she looked Li Yi up and down, and after making sure that he was fine, she was relieved.

"Young master, how can you do this, how can you hide us, you bear the danger alone!"

They have been with Li Yi for a long time, and they know a little about Li Yi's miraculous methods. They are absolutely sure that the young master hid them.

Li Yi flicked Shan Linger's nose lightly with his finger, "If you don't hide, why don't you stay outside as cannon fodder?"
