"Stop everyone!"

Li Shimin's eyes opened wide, and his majestic voice echoed in the side room, making several people's eardrums buzz.

These two beloved generals are both passionate people, but it is really inappropriate for them to make noise like ordinary people.

"What does it look like when two great generals quarrel?"

His brows were furrowed, his eyes full of majesty and dissatisfaction, and his gaze fell on Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde as if it were real.

"You two are my loyal ministers, both unrivaled in valor and courage, and have made remarkable military achievements for the Tang Dynasty."

"Cheng Yaojin, you are both brave and resourceful. Although you may seem reckless, you are actually quite meticulous. Your impetus on the battlefield is unmatched. You are a killing god on the battlefield."

"Yuchi Jingde, you are both loyal and brave, and you are a master of martial arts. You have protected me countless times, and your skills are unmatched in the army. But what you did today, if others saw you, would disgrace the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin's sudden reprimand made Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde quiet down like ducks with their necks strangled.

They were like two children who had made a mistake, and they suddenly forgot about the late emperor, oh no, His Majesty was still here.

They lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, and just listened to Li Shimin's stern reprimand.

Yuchi Jingde felt a little aggrieved, his lips trembling slightly as he murmured in a low voice, "Your Majesty, that was a battle worth 50 million coins!"

There was a glint of desire in his eyes, as if the fifty million yuan war was the most dazzling treasure in his life.

"If I, Yuchi Jingde, could fight this, I would die with my eyes closed!"

His voice rose slightly, with a hint of determination.

"We can't fight this battle. I, Yuchi Jingde, will go to the grave with my eyes open!"

Hearing Yuchi Jingde say this, Cheng Yaojin also said in a wronged tone, "Me too!"

His big hands, like a palm-leaf fan, kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, and his eyes were full of longing for the great battle.

After listening to the words of the two old brothers, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and put his hand on his forehead.

"I know, I know everything. I can't even think about fighting for 50 million yuan, let alone you!"

A hint of bitter memories flashed in his eyes.

"Think carefully, the two of you. What haven't I experienced in my life? I finally conquered the world, but every time I spend money, I have to be scolded by that old guy Wei Zheng!"

A wry smile appeared on his face.

"What's so interesting about being an emperor?"

Li Shimin walked slowly in the side room with heavy steps.

"Think about it carefully, both of you. Has my life been miserable?"

After hearing this, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Yuchi Jingde was even more indignant and stood up for Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I remember you once walked your bird."

There was a hint of anger in his eyes as he described it vividly.

"When you met that old fellow Wei Zheng, you hid the bird in your arms because you were afraid he would scold you."

As he spoke, he imitated Li Shimin's actions at that time.

"But that old fellow Wei Zheng was full of evil intentions! He spent an entire hour reporting on trivial matters!"

"After he left, Your Majesty, the bird in your arms was suffocated to death!"

Yuchi Jingde's face was full of anger.

"I was extremely angry at that time!"

He looked at Li Shimin, his eyes full of loyalty.

"Your Majesty is the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with taking your bird for a walk?"

Listening to Yuchi Jingde's words, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"It's good that you understand my suffering! I will always remember your loyalty to me. Yuchi Jingde, you are upright and have never said anything wrong to me."

"Cheng Yaojin, you are honest and cute, and you are my happy pill. But this time, you must not be so willful again."

He straightened his back and his expression became firm.

"My meaning is very clear. I have fought for most of my life. Can't I go out and enjoy myself?"

"None of you can go on this expedition, I have to go!"

When they heard Li Shimin's words, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

But Cheng Yaojin then relaxed, touched his head and grinned.

"Your Majesty, you are already 'passing away'. How can you lead the troops to fight? Leave this opportunity to me and Brother Yuchi!"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin smiled confidently, with a hint of cunning in that smile.

"Li Ji, when you go to war, give me the title of personal guard. It won't be a problem if you take me with you, right?"

Li Ji listened to Li Shimin's words and had a vague feeling of foreboding. He frowned and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, if you risk your life in person on the battlefield..."

Li Shimin waved his hand with disdain and interrupted Li Ji.

"Li Ji! Don't try to fool me, you old man. I'm the General of Tiance."

He patted his chest with a proud look.

"you understand?"

Hearing that Li Shimin even brought up his identity as the General of Tiance, Li Ji had no choice but to accept it.

"Of course you can, Your Majesty!"

He sighed helplessly and groaned inwardly.

Li Shimin patted Li Ji's slightly wrinkled right hand with a smile on his face.

"Li Ji, you really got it easy this time!"

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had already seen victory on the battlefield.

"You can rest in the big tent when the time comes. I will help you command and will definitely fight this battle beautifully for you!"

He laughed triumphantly.

"All the credit is yours! I'm working for you! Just be happy!"

Listening to Li Shimin's arrogant speech, Li Ji could only agree repeatedly due to the other party's status as His Majesty, but he kept sighing in his heart.

His Majesty has intervened. As the commander-in-chief, I won't just be a spectator, right?

After achieving his wish, Li Shimin was very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, like a child who got his favorite toy.

Seeing that His Majesty had really joined, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin hurried forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding Li Ji's arms.

"Brother Li, how about you take me with you? His Majesty is going, so it would be absurd for me, Yuchi Jingde, not to go! His Majesty and I have always been a golden pair!"

Yuchi Jingde looked at Li Ji with anticipation.

"The King of Qin holds the bow! Yuchi Jingde holds..."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Cheng Yaojin interrupted Yuchi Jingde, curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"Nigger, I've heard these words of yours countless times! Aren't you tired of it?"

He patted his chest.

"Brother Li, have you heard of the Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Gang?" His eyes were filled with pride.

"Unfortunately, I, Old Cheng, only know three of these techniques. They were taught to me by an immortal in a dream."

He spoke with great joy, as if he were really the lucky one chosen by an immortal.

“Most people can’t even see it if they want to.”

He winked at Li Ji.

"If you bring me, Old Cheng, with you this time, I will definitely open your eyes!"

"Alright! You're the devil, and you still have the Thirty-Six Heavenly Axes!"

Yuchi Jingde fought back without hesitation.

"I bother!"

He spat in the direction of Cheng Yaojin.

"That clearly means you are just mediocre in martial arts."

"You can only exaggerate your three best moves!" He pointed at Cheng Yaojin's nose.

"What strength do you have!"

"Okay, stop arguing! We are all good brothers!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly, and both of them fell silent.

Li Ji was also relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Both of you should come with me and have some fun. This is a 50 million dollar battle. For you two, not going and seeing the world is worse than death!"

Li Shimin looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.

"Li Ji, is it okay to bring three more personal soldiers?"

Li Ji now felt that his head was swelling, as if countless ants were crawling inside.

"Your Majesty, it's all up to you!"

He replied weakly.

After achieving his goal, Cheng Yaojin sat down somewhat confused and scratched his head.

"That doesn't make sense. I, Old Cheng, submitted three letters of invitation to fight, so why did His Majesty choose you, Li Ji?"

His eyes were full of doubts as he stared at Li Ji quietly. His gaze was like two sharp swords, making Li Ji feel uneasy.

Yuchi Jingde also reacted at this time. He widened his eyes and looked incredulous.

"Old Cheng, you only submitted three? I wrote a full six! His Majesty didn't choose me!"

He was so angry that he was spinning in circles.

Hearing both of them addressing Li Chengqian as "Your Majesty", Li Shimin could only cough twice to maintain his dignity. The cough was particularly abrupt in the quiet room. Unfortunately, the two careless people seemed not to hear it.

"Li Ji, how many letters have you written?"

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde asked in unison.

Li Ji's face flushed red, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged out, like little green snakes wriggling.

He argued, "Writing a letter of request for battle doesn't count as writing... a request for battle!... Can military matters be considered writing?"

Then came some difficult to understand words, such as "the general is always poor" and "the fighter". Everyone in the room burst into laughter, and the air was full of joy.

……

Seeing Li Ji hesitating like this, Fang Xuanling did not give Li Ji any face at all.

He narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Li Ji sent a whole stack. I counted them and there were thirty-two letters of request for battle!" A kind smile appeared on his face, but there was a hint of ridicule in that smile.

.........

"By the way, Xuanling, is there anything else? Xueyantuo's attack on the border isn't a big deal. Why is the Tang Dynasty's reputation about to be exposed?"

Li Shimin looked curious. He tilted his head and looked at Fang Xuanling, his eyes full of questions.

When Fang Xuanling said this, his face became serious. He frowned slightly and looked serious.

"Tibet may go to war with the Tang Dynasty!"

His voice was low and solemn, like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart.

The four men had been drinking all day and were completely unaware of the news about Tubo.

Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly, his face full of worry.

Li Shimin was even more confused. He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Tibet wants to go to war with my Tang Dynasty? That doesn't make sense! Didn't that Tibetan envoy pass my six marriage tests last year and become a legend?"

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"How come even though I've already agreed to allow Princess Wencheng to enter Tibet to deepen the friendship between our two countries, Tubo still won't give up?"

At this point, Li Shimin's tone became cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, as biting as the cold wind in winter.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. It seems that I have given Tubo too much favor!"

His fists clenched unconsciously.

"So much so that these Tibetan barbarians still want to take advantage of us?" He stamped his foot violently.

"I must let them know that the Tang Dynasty today is not the same as it was then!"

He exuded a powerful aura, like a lion about to become angry.
