When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 144 Turks? Labor dispatch company!
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin was trying to stabilize the country and sent some of his trusted confidants to lead troops to various places to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

It also strictly prohibited any large army from entering Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the Turks' southward advance dealt Li Shimin a heavy blow.

In terms of strength, the Turks are no match for the Tang Dynasty.

However, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is now short of military forces.

Other troops wanted to rescue, but they were a little behind in time.

Hear what Li Shimin said during the Zhenguan period.

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Don't think too much about this matter, it must have been done by a noble family!"

Now Wude Tang is also dealing with the aristocratic families. Li Jiancheng also knows the morals of the aristocratic families: "I didn't expect these aristocratic families to be so cruel and daring to let the Turks go south. Aren't they afraid of being stabbed? Especially Li Yi, I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "If something like this happens, the responsibility will definitely be put on the emperor. Even if you want to investigate, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out anything!"

Zhu Ming nodded: "In fact, for the aristocratic families, they like emperors like Li Shimin who came to the throne illegitimately, so that they can firmly grasp the emperor's handle and promote it in the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, when the common people hear that a person who killed his brother and imprisoned his father and took his wife's brother took the throne, no matter what this emperor did, they will have a very bad impression in their hearts. This is not a good person!"

"The Turks are pressing in, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty is empty. We are definitely not going to win by fighting, so we can only swallow our anger and agree to some of their unfair demands."

"A person with questionable morals cedes land or pays compensation as soon as he becomes emperor. Do you think this emperor will still have the support of the people? Then they can use their aristocratic family background to overwhelm the emperor and make him obey. If he wants to turn things around, it will probably be difficult without a few years."

"I have to say that Li Shimin had a difficult time in the first few years of Zhenguan. He wanted to achieve some results, but was restricted everywhere. I guess his decrees were only of some use in the surrounding areas."

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zhenguan, Li Shimin, fought wars in the south and the north and made great contributions.

Except for the Battle of Asamizuhara, the subsequent wars went smoothly without any setbacks due to the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, just after the coup d'état had succeeded, the aristocratic families and the Turks had combined to teach them a good lesson.

Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin could not help but ask: "Since you are from the future, you must know about this crisis. How did the Tang Dynasty survive it?"

Zhu Ming said: "How else can we get through? Empty the treasury, reach an agreement with the Turks, and sign the Weishui Alliance!"

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin covered his chest with his hands and emptied the national treasury, which was a great shame and humiliation.

Li Shimin was proud of his smooth success in the war, but he signed an unequal treaty when he faced a foreign race for the first time after coming to power.

"Damn aristocratic family, damn Turks, how could this happen!"

Zhu Di looked at Li Shimin, who was much more famous than himself in history, with a hint of sarcasm: "Humph, if the same thing happened in the Ming Dynasty, there would definitely be no treaty signed. They would definitely not care about life and death, and just fight if they don't obey!"

Yuchi Jingde said loudly: "Your Highness, what the Emperor said is right. Don't care about life and death. If you don't obey, just fight. It's just a Turk. Do you really think that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty?"

Wei Zheng sighed softly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that even if we know the result, we have no choice but to do this. Those aristocratic families are secretly pushing this matter, and the court can only grit their teeth and accept it in the short term."

Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin frowned and thought: "Emperor Zhu, if it were the Ming Dynasty, what would you do?"

Zhu Di raised his chin and said, "My Ming Dynasty has also experienced this kind of thing. The situation was even more difficult than yours. Even when the emperor who led the army in person was captured, he did not accept any unequal conditions. He confronted the enemy head-on in the capital and eventually drove the foreigners back!"

The Zhenguan trio were stunned.

Li Shimin of the Zhenguan period swallowed his saliva and said, "The emperor was captured while leading the army in person?"

Yuchi Jingde also found it hard to imagine: "How can such a thing happen? What do those generals do for a living?"

Zhu Ming: "This was a turning point in the history of the Ming Dynasty. A large number of generals and ministers who followed him died at that time."

Wei Zheng was a little surprised: "Since they have captured the emperor, they didn't threaten the Ming Dynasty or take the opportunity to blackmail them?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "It's not that the other party doesn't want to, it's just that Daming didn't agree."

"When the news reached the court, it was like a bolt from the blue, and extortion followed."

"You have to know that once you agree to the other party's request, their appetite will become bigger and bigger."

"The ministers made a prompt decision, respected the emperor from afar, supported the new emperor, and continued the fight!"

"The situation was similar to yours now. In terms of strength, the other side was no match, but they were short of troops and could not provide rescue in a short time."

"Faced with the siege of the capital, the Ming Dynasty fought to the end and eventually defeated the enemy!"

Yuchi Jingde shouted, "Okay, that's how it should be, Your Highness. Let's fight them to the bitter end. I don't believe that the Tang Dynasty can't defeat the Turks."

Wei Zheng made a suggestion: "It's possible. I believe those noble families would not dare to let the Turks occupy Chang'an. It's easier to invite gods than to send them away. The Turks are not so particular. Once they occupy Chang'an, they might turn around and confiscate the property of these noble families."

"Of course, in case the situation changes, it's best to designate a successor first!"

Zhu Di chuckled:
"Li Er, you should know that your capital is in Chang'an, and the Turks came a long way. At that time, my capital was in Zhuo County, which was very close to the border. I could easily run into the territory of foreign tribes if I was not careful."

"That's it. I, the Ming Dynasty, have never been scared!"

"Our Ming Dynasty is the only country that has been established for more than a hundred years and has not signed any unfair treaties!"

"No marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country!"

"This is the soul of my Ming Dynasty!"

Yuchi Jingde cheered with the help of wine: "Great, great! No marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country!"

"If I have the chance, I really want to see the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Shimin, who had been fighting wars for many years, was very encouraged by what he heard. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Well, if the Ming Dynasty in the future can defend the capital, I, Li Shimin, can too. Cheers!"

If it were in the past, Li Yuan would have advised him kindly, saying that you are still young and this is gambling with the fate of the Li family. If you are not careful, the Li family will be finished. What's the harm in being patient? Your father endured Yang Guang for decades, and in the end, didn't I take revenge?
Now, Li Yuan said with appreciation: "Well, this is my Li family son!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Second brother, you are still brave. It's just a Turk. Don't worry, as long as you dare to fight the Turks, I will support you. Apart from anything else, I can still take out hundreds of thousands of troops!"

Wude Li Shimin stood up and said, "Well, can I lead an army? I haven't fought in a war for a long time."

The Zhenguan trio was a little confused.

Li Shimin couldn't help but said: "Thank you, brother, but we are not from the same era after all."

"Oh, right, how am I supposed to get back to the Tang Dynasty? After all, the Turks are very close. If I don't show up, there might be trouble."

Zhu Ming chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!"

The Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty
The ministers gathered together.

"Is there no news from His Majesty yet?"

"Damn it, where did he go? I can't find him in the entire palace." "He just ascended the throne. Could he have heard that the Turks were coming and ran away?"

"It's possible. After all, if he is captured once the city is breached, his reputation will be ruined. He will be the only emperor who was captured right after ascending the throne."

"It shouldn't happen. You don't know our new emperor. He has been fighting smoothly for so many years. How could he run away?"

"Why else would it suddenly disappear?"

The palace maid Zhangsun Wugou was anxiously searching the harem.

There is no trace of him at all.

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Little sister, is there any woman outside the palace? Is it outside the palace?"

Zhang Sun Wu Gou shook his head: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? His Majesty has no one outside the palace."

"No one can go anywhere. We have been looking for it for so long, how could it suddenly disappear?"

"Could it be that he was taken away by Prince Yin's men?"

"Impossible. Yuchi Jingde was with us at the time. Even if we were attacked, there wouldn't be no trace left!"

The entire Tang Dynasty was anxiously searching for Li Shimin during the Zhenguan period.

Little did they know that Li Shimin had already traveled through time and space and arrived fourteen hundred years later.

At this time, Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin was in ecstasy.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

Li Jiancheng shook off Zhenguan Li Shimin's hands: "Second brother, don't look at me like that."

"I'm afraid you don't know that Wude Tang spent almost no effort from its establishment to its unification. It was with the help of Brother Zhu's ability that reinforcements were invited from several other dynasties!"

"Now the aristocratic families are being eliminated."

Zhu Di said: "Please call me the Three Million Marshal. I have three million soldiers under my command. Needless to say, 300,000 can help you wipe out all the Turks who are heading south. Of course, I can borrow soldiers, but you have to pay for the food and drink. If you don't drink enough, this matter will not be easy to handle!"

Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin was full of surprise: "Three million troops, is this true? Can the Ming Dynasty support three million troops?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "Every dynasty has sent out some soldiers, about three million in total, and now I am the commander-in-chief."

Li Shimin was a little confused: "Aren't you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? How can you lead the army to fight? Isn't there anyone in the Ming Dynasty to take care of it?"

Zhu Ming smiled lightly, "You should know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are different from those of other dynasties. They are basically all eccentric. This is the first emperor who was able to seal the Wolf's Lair. In history, he led five expeditions to the northern desert, which is the Turkic region in your area. I believe you know where he went. Later generations jokingly called Zhu Gaochi the Great Northern Expedition General. Every day he was either on the northern expedition or on the way to the northern expedition! Being an emperor is just a part-time job!"

The Zhenguan trio looked at Zhu Di in shock. It was hard to imagine that an emperor would lead the army in person every day and how much he loved fighting.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng also felt very emotional. They were not in the Yongle Ming Dynasty to govern the country every day, but left everything to their sons, while they were fighting outside. It was really a bit of a waste of time!
During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin took a deep breath and pinched his thighs hard.

Just now he discovered that this liquor from the later times was very strong. After only two or three cups, he was already drunk. "Tell me, how do you drink it!"

Zhu Di grinned and said, "Not much. One cup for 100,000 troops, all in one day. It's a good deal. If you can drink thirty cups, I'll bring three million troops to help you. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of Turks, even millions can help you deal with them!"

Zhenguan Li Shimin nodded: "It's a good deal, wait for me, I'm going to the bathroom first!"

When I cleaned it before, I had a general understanding of how to use the bathroom.

Opening the toilet lid, Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin thrust his two fingers hard into his throat.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, my stomach churned and I vomited out all the delicious food I had just eaten.

A lot of the wine and drinks were also vomited out.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin clearly felt that the taste of alcohol in his mouth had become much less, and even his consciousness had become clearer.

"It really works. This time, I shouldn't have any problems after drinking two more cups. I'll vomit again later. With 400,000 troops, it's enough to deal with the Turks!"

Returning to the wine table, Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin said proudly: "Bring some wine!"

Two cups were poured. Li Shimin picked up one of them and drank it in one gulp. Then he took a few bites of food and picked up the other cup and drank it all.

Then he stood up and said, "Wait for me!"

When I returned to the bathroom, the two glasses of wine I had just drunk were immediately taken out.

"Damn it, luckily I've done it this way before and I'm used to it. Otherwise, it would be hard to dig it out, but it would be a bit irritating to my throat."

After returning, Li Shimin repeated the performance.

Finally, I drank five glasses of white wine!
Zhu Di clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad. You can drink so much liquor for the first time. That's amazing. Five cups of liquor in total. I will lend you 500,000 troops. Don't worry. If a mere Turk dares to set foot on Chinese land, he will never return!"

Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin said excitedly: "I wonder how long it will take for everyone to arrive?"

Zhu Di said: "If it's 500,000, we can do it anytime. I happen to have a defense army over there. It's not used to prevent various emergencies, and it can be taken away at any time."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "We are both members of the Tang Dynasty, and we are facing the Turks. I have to do my part. Yuchi Jingde, five cups of wine and five hundred thousand troops, do you dare?"

Yuchi Jingde looked at Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, I did it!"

"Okay, but don't be like your second brother and go to the bathroom to dig it out!"

"Please rest assured, Prince. I am not such a vulgar person!"

"I've offended you before, so I'll drink eight cups. One is to borrow troops, and the other is to make amends!"

Yuchi Jingde drank one cup after another, he was indeed a fierce general. After drinking eight cups in a row, he felt like his throat was no longer his own.

I tried hard not to vomit.

He didn't go to the bathroom, and soon he fell to the ground.

The food was pretty much the same.

Zhu Ming stood up and said, "Let's go and get some people first. We don't know what the current situation of the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty is like. Don't go back when the Turks attack. Old Zhu and Old Yang are both short of strong laborers, so we can send them to work!"

"This isn't an attack, it's clearly a delivery of labor!"
