The banquet lasted for two hours before the officials slowly retreated. Li Fangchen yawned and was pulled to the Palace of Harmony by Li Shimin.

"Tell me, what are your plans?"

Looking at Li Fangchen, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

Li Fangchen looked around for a while before speaking: "Father, I wonder if you still remember the proposal from my son three years ago?"

"Which one are you talking about?" It's not that Li Shimin can't remember it. The main reason is that this brat has too many ideas, and they are really a major strategy that benefits the country and the people. Li Shimin himself can't remember how much contribution he made to the Tang Dynasty.

Hum? Is this kid here to seek repayment?

That's not right. If he really has utilitarianism, why do you have to show it now?

The questioning eyes were placed on Li Fangchen, which made Li Fangchen feel a little uncomfortable.

"Father, what I want to talk about is artillery!"

gun?

Li Shimin then realized, and then smiled and said, "Indeed, it has already shown some results."

"Ah?" Li Fangchen said in surprise: "But..."

"Why did anyone advise this thing to harm the world before?"

Li Shimin, who had long expected Li Fangchen to question, couldn't help laughing out loud, "Yu'er, you're still too simple. This thing destroyed the entire workshop as soon as it was born. How could I abandon such a magical weapon?"

Li Fangchen bowed and sighed, "I thought that so far, artillery has not improved at all, and I plan to develop it myself."

After saying that, he was slapped by Li Shimin, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Just leave such a thing to others. You, the King of Qin, why are you joining in the fun?"

Li Fangchen scratched his nose. He could not argue with Li Shimin for such a thing, otherwise the other party would have a lot of reasons to press on himself.

"My son doesn't understand. This thing has been studied. Why hasn't I seen it in the rebels this time?"

Li Shimin's smile is a little unpredictable, "Yu'er, do you really not know?"

Li Fangchen subconsciously shook his head, how can he guess this?

"When you have prepared all the troops in the Qin King's Mansion, I will hand over this artillery workshop to you. How about it?"

Li Fangchen originally planned to agree, but then he thought, the emperor was unpredictable. Does his father plan to test himself?

His eyes were jumping left and right, and his mind was anxious and said, "No, I still have a lot of things to be busy with!"

“A lot of… things?”

"Ha, my son, please leave, Father, please rest early."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away, which made Li Shimin laugh and cry. Li Fangchen was so clever that he was not using the right place and thought about everything too far away.

If you really want to test you, why bother to say these words to you?

It was night and could not leave the palace, so Li Fangchen could only run to the West Palace to stay for a night. It was a familiar place, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Early the next morning, he was summoned to Kunning Palace for dinner.

There were a few more white silks between Changsun Wugui's eyebrows, which made Li Fangchen feel a little distressed.

"Mom, you are..."

Changsun Wugui smiled and said, "Why are you still doing something in a child? Could it be that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty still cry when I see my mother?"

Li Fangchen shook his head repeatedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you mother."

"You're just sweet-mouthed!"

He gave Li Fangchen a blank look, Changsun Wugui slowly stood up and arranged for the palace maids to prepare some pastries.

The King of Qin is delicious, and the one who cannot lose the most on weekdays is his mouth. Changsun Wugui feels sorry for his children, so every time Li Fangchen arrives at Kunning Palace, he will ask someone to prepare some snacks for him.

Li Fangchen, who was planning to say goodbye to Changsun Wugui, suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave the palace.

So he chatted with Changsun Wugui in Kunning Palace to make her happy.

Today's morning court was a little different. Because King Li Fangchen of Qin did not attend court, he did not know that an envoy from the Turks was holding him accountable.

"Dear Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, Turks, have always been in good terms with you, why do you plot against me, Turks like this?"

Li Shimin's gloomy face was almost dripping. I don't know which bastard actually passed the Qin King Ce to the Turks.

You should know that it records Li Fangchen's calculations against the Turks and Goguryeo, and the entire process of how to lead the other party into the trap step by step.

If you don’t read King Ce of Qin, you are not worthy of being an official. This sentence has almost become the catchphrase of the entire Chang'an officials, and King Ce of Qin has recorded a copy in his hands.

At first, Li Shimin felt that this was conducive to the growth of officials, so he didn't stop it, and even gave more encouragement in private.

On the side of the civil minister, Changsun Wuji stepped out of the line, looked at the Turkic envoy, and asked, "What does the messenger mean? Haven't we always been very friendly with the Turkic?"

"Hmph, why is this lord pretending to be confused when he understands it? His Highness of the Qin King of your country is really despised!"

"presumptuous!"

The generals stood up in an instant, "Do you dare to insult my King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, may you want to lead a war?"

Even though the Turkic envoys were full of anger on their faces, the number of caravans between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks reached three or four hundred, and each tribe maintained a friendly relationship with the caravans.

Before, someone dared to rob the caravan, but once after the robbed caravan returned to the Tang Dynasty, no one went to the tribe where the road was located to trade, the Turkic people discovered that recklessness could not solve any problem.

In previous years, when the grassland could not support the population, Khan easily dispatched heroes from various tribes to gather together to invade the Tang Dynasty.

But since they started trading with the Tang Dynasty, they found that they could get the food they wanted without fighting.

So the Turkic Khan was in the cup. If you want to recruit troops, you must have the consent of the patriarchs of each tribe.

If someone doesn't want to fight, why should you recruit it? Once? twice?

When the dissatisfaction reaches a limit, those who wait for the Turks will fall apart overnight.

Li Fangchen himself did not expect this result.

The moment King Ce of Qin appeared in front of the Turkic Khan Jie Li, he immediately sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you can't really find excuses to kill the King of Qin, you have to give the Tang Dynasty a warning.

"We Turkic Khan have begun to recruit warriors from various tribes. The respected Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will the Tang Dynasty fight?"

It is obvious that it is a bit swollen and fat man is slapped, but it is not possible to do so. After all, this is a task assigned by Khan in person.

The plan given to him by Mrs. Khan, Princess Yicheng, was to use the excuse of starting a war to obstruct the Tang Dynasty, and it would be best to isolate the King of Qin or even make him lose his life, so as to buy time for the Turks.

By this time next year, the Turkic internal integration will be reorganized. Whether the war will begin or not is just a sentence from Jie Li Khan.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, and the ministers began to whisper.

Start a war?

The Turks were not prepared, and the Tang Dynasty did not, but even so, they could not lose their momentum.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Since Jie Li wants to start a war, I will naturally accompany you. Envoy, you can get out of the Tang Dynasty."
