Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

“In this crusade against rebellion, not only did Cheng Yaojin’s testimony come into play, but various signs also showed that Henan Province was already breaking away.”

"And I have a lot of secret reports from the Qianniu Guards in my hands, all of which tell me that Chu Xin has become rebellious, and may even have taken Gao Ming hostage, and wants to use Gao Ming to raise troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and spoke slowly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Shimin's words.

Only Changsun Wuji heard the meaning of protecting Li Chengqian in Li Shimin's words.

The reason why he and the Queen went to such great lengths was not to delay the matter and to get His Royal Highness out of this matter.

Now I see that Li Shimin has given in, which is really an unexpected surprise.

So, just when everyone was thinking about what evidence His Majesty had in hand, Changsun Wuji suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, since there is evidence that that witch Chu Xin has kidnapped His Highness the Crown Prince, we should not hesitate any longer and immediately send troops to put down the rebellion."

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall instantly became silent. Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Changsun Wuji did not show any cowardice at all. Instead, he said with a righteous look:

"Your Majesty, it's not too late. Now His Royal Highness has fallen into the hands of thieves. I am worried about his safety, so I kindly ask Your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible to wipe out the thieves."

This time, everyone heard Changsun Wuji's words very clearly. After making sure that they heard correctly, many people took a breath, wondering why the other party's attitude changed so quickly.

Only Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling knew that Changsun Wuji agreed to send troops because he saw that he also wanted to protect Li Chengqian.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then Du Ruhui stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, now all the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government have agreed to send troops. I hope that your Majesty will make a decision soon."

Hearing Du Ruhui's reminder, Li Shimin immediately came to his senses, and while the ministers were still shocked by Changsun Wuji's change of attitude, he announced directly:

"Now that the foreign barbarians have not been cleared away, internal troubles have arisen again. I am issuing an order today to order Li Xiaogong to be the vanguard and Li Jing to be..."

Just as he was about to say that Li Jing would take charge, he suddenly thought of Li Zhenying and that lawless scoundrel, so he immediately changed his words:

"Li Jing temporarily serves as Minister of War and stays in Chang'an to coordinate all military affairs."

"In addition, after I go out with the army, Li Tai will supervise the country, and Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui will be responsible for assisting."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked again.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. You have a body of ten thousand gold, how can you leave the capital so easily? What's more, you are the emperor's commander personally conducting the expedition, but you allow the King of Wei to supervise the country. This is against the rules of etiquette. You must not do it."

Changsun Wuji was completely confused after hearing this. His original intention was to protect the prince.

But the emperor now wants a prince to supervise the country. Does this mean that the other party has the idea of ​​​​changing the throne?

Seeing Chang Sun Wuji jump out to stop the others, they immediately joined in with him.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers also looked at each other, wondering why Li Shimin did this.

In fact, Li Shimin's decision to let Li Tai supervise the country was just a temporary move.

Originally, he was thinking that after he left Beijing, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui would supervise the country.

But when he thought that Li Chengqian was so unbearable, he would actually get involved with Chu Xin, and now he had made such a big mess. If he didn't warn him, he didn't know what kind of treacherous and unethical things he would do in the future.

So, as soon as his mind changed, he came up with the idea of ​​​​pulling Li Tai out to stimulate the other party.

Now that he saw Changsun Wuji, who didn't understand what was going on, jumped out to stop him first, Li Shimin's lips curled up slightly, wondering if the uncle's intentions were a little too obvious.

"Wuji, I know what you are thinking, but now, apart from Gao Ming, the only person under my knee who can be very useful is Qing Que. Why, could it be that there is someone in your heart who is more suitable for supervising the country than Qing Que? Candidate?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji suddenly woke up and knew that he had crossed the line and violated a taboo. He immediately defended himself:

"No, Your Majesty, I just feel that Qingque is now young and it is inappropriate for him to supervise the country."

"Isn't it true that you three ministers of the humerus are here to help? No matter how young Qingque is, I am still very relieved to have three of you assisting me."

After saying that, he stared at Changsun Wuji coldly, wanting to see if the other party would say anything inappropriate again, so that he could beat him again.

Changsun Wuji's ability to reach his current position in the court was naturally not all due to his relationship with Queen Changsun. He was also a master in the court.

At this time, when he saw Li Shimin looking at him with cold eyes, he understood that if he had any objections, I was afraid that he would be among the quota for the army.

So he immediately changed the subject and said:

"Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I will devote myself to it and die."

Seeing Sun Wuji retreating, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then began to discuss with the ministers the list of people who would accompany the army, as well as the arrangements for the court after joining the army.

Soon, the news that the imperial court was going to send troops once again blew through the entire Chang'an City like a whirlwind.

Especially when the news came out that Li Shimin asked Li Tai to supervise the country, all kinds of rumors and rumors sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Chu Mo was also stunned when he heard the news that Li Shimin asked Li Tai to supervise the country.

But what he was more concerned about was that Li Shimin was so eager to send troops, who would provide his logistical support.

You know, last year's unusual drought and the frost disaster before the autumn harvest left the imperial treasury unable to make ends meet.

Later, the food provided to the victims was still stolen from himself.

As the saying goes, food and fodder must go before troops are deployed. Now that the imperial court is launching such a large-scale military operation, can the logistics really keep up?

In other words, the reason why Li Shimin launched such a large-scale military operation was to frighten the surrounding barbarians, as well as himself?

If the truth was really what he thought, then Chu Mo would have to observe a few minutes of silence for Li Shimin.

Chu Xin is not as weak as she seems on the surface.

In Chu Mo's eyes, Chu Xin has mastered technology that is beyond this era. Even if the troops are not as large as Li Shimin's, as long as the muskets are fired and the cannons are fired, the fight will be like chopping melons and vegetables.

What's more, looking at Li Shimin like this, he should make a quick decision. Such an unwise decision, in Chu Mo's opinion, the other party is going to kill him.
