Chapter 722 Li Shimin vomited blood when he was angry
After entering the palace, Changsun Wuji went straight into Ganlu Palace to ask for the emperor. Li Shimin was very energetic and had a smooth life during this period. The national situation of the Tang Empire was booming, and the Li royal family had no worries. Once he was in a good mood, his body would naturally follow him.
It is rare that Li Shimin wrote big characters in the hall, laying big paper on the huge desk. He held a large brush and wrote only one character on each piece of paper, big, thick ink.
After writing the word "天", Li Shimin straightened his waist and smiled and said, "How is this word written?"
Shi Zhongchen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty, you have written this word well, it is so powerful that it is very powerful. If I guess well, you should write the word 'slow' in the next word!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I guessed it right. I have to write the word "down" in the next word!"
While he was speaking, a little eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Changsun asked for a meeting and said that there was an emergency military situation. It was an urgent memorial sent from Silla!"
Li Shimin shouted, his smile disappeared, and he said, "An urgent memorial from Silla? Quickly Xuan Wuji enter the palace."
The little eunuch agreed and quickly withdrew.
Li Shimin threw away the brush in his hand and said to himself: "The urgent memorial sent by Silla means that it happened in Goguryeo. If it were Baekje, Silla would not ask for help."
Shi Zhongchen quickly packed the table and whispered: "I wonder how His Highness of the King of Wu is. Didn't he go to Yingzhou? It's very close to Goguryeo."
Li Shimin said excitedly, "Yingzhou is on the west side of Goguryeo, and Silla is on the east side of Goguryeo. There is a war in the east, and it has nothing to do with the west side." As he said that, he sat on the dragon couch.
Changsun Wuji stepped into the hall and bowed: "The old minister met the emperor. The Secretariat just received the letter of nationality sent by Silla, and he was asking for help. The old minister did not dare to delay and immediately sent it to the emperor!"
Shi Zhongchen trotted over, took the memorial and submitted it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin opened his eyes and said, "It's true that Goguryeo attacked Silla. That Yuan Gaisuwen is really not at ease, and she is causing trouble for me again."
The urgent memorial sent by Silla said that Goguryeo sent troops eastward and captured two cities in Silla. Silla sent troops to resist the enemy. When the war with Goguryeo soldiers, Baekje sent troops to help Goguryeo and sent troops to bite Silla hard, causing Silla to be attacked on both sides and defeated on both sides.
Changsun Wuji said: "Emperor, Goguryeo and Baekje are in good terms. Whenever I use military force against Goguryeo in the Central Plains, Baekje always needs to intervene, so that Goguryeo can attack and retreat and defend, and there is always room for maneuver. The old ministers thought that they should increase their support for Silla and let Silla hold Baekje to hold Baekje so that they cannot support Goguryeo. Only then can I concentrate on dealing with Goguryeo and destroy this country of dirt."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is of course, but there is no hurry. Let Silla fight with Baekje Goguryeo first. When it can't be fought, it will not be too late for us to send reinforcements."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "The emperor is wise, this is the case. Maybe there is no need to send troops to help. If a few wars continue, Goguryeo and Baekje will retreat. The Silla soldiers are still very good at fighting. Besides, if they really attack their capital, then they will have to fight to the death. It is normal for a war to delay for two or three months."
Li Shimin said: "That's not the case. We wait. When Silla can no longer support it, we will surround Wei and rescue Zhao and attack Goguryeo from Liaodong. Goguryeo can only withdraw troops from Silla. There is no problem with Silla dealing with a Baekje. The small country in Baekje is not worth mentioning."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. Only when these foreign countries are weak will they be closer to our Tang Dynasty. If they become stronger, there will be more troubles. If Silla continues to be strong, who knows what will happen in the future? You must be careful."
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were both scheming people. They really expected it right. When Silla became powerful, they really became a demon, but they were soon suppressed by the Tang army. This is a story later.
Li Shimin said: "There is no hurry to do this, wait and see. The child of Ke'er went to Yingzhou and there was no news. He is in Yingzhou. How can he have news about him? Why has this child not written a memorial for so long?"
Changsun Wuji thought to himself: "I am afraid that the news about him will be sent to Beijing in a few days, but it is definitely not good news." He said: "No, when the King of Wu went to Yingzhou, he was like a bird entering the forest, and there was no news."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Wuji, why do you describe this? Even if Ke'er is ignorant, he will not have any special actions. Maybe he just arrived in Yingzhou and had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to write a memorial. Just send someone to urge him to see if he has any difficulties. If he should help, he is your nephew. You should live in harmony and save me some worries."
"Yes, the emperor said, the old minister's mind was a little narrow." Changsun Wuji said, but he paused, and he said again: "But the old minister always thought that letting the King of Wu go to Yingzhou to restrain Goguryeo is not the best candidate. The Goguryeo people are insidious and cunning, and they might do something to the King of Wu."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are you talking about assassination? This is possible. You can pick a powerful military force from Beijing and send it to Yingzhou to protect Ke'er, but there should not be too many people to avoid panic in Goguryeo and end the war against Silla early, that would be bad."
He was afraid that his son would make mistakes in Yingzhou, and he did not want Goguryeo to suffer too little damage in the war against Silla. He was really unwilling to end the war early. On the contrary, the longer the battle, the better, and the longer it would be, the more beneficial it would be to the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Wuji agreed and said, "Old minister will go and select soldiers and generals, and you will be able to set off in a few days. Master, do you think a group of four hundred people is enough?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Double it, send a thousand people over. It is better to be strong and powerful generals. Only such generals can protect Ke'er, can I feel at ease!"
Changsun Wuji sighed: "I feel sorry for my parents in the world. The emperor's love for the King of Wu really touched the old minister!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Who is not like this? Wuji, you are the same with your son!"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said nothing else, but thought to himself: "Emperor, the better you are to Li Ke, the more sad you will be when you know his wolfish ambition!"
After talking for a while, Changsun Wuji sued his leave from the palace. Two days later, the letters from the Great Governor of Youzhou were sent to Chang'an, and they were also sent to the Shangshu Province first and handed them over to Changsun Wuji for review.
Changsun Wuji read the letter and was overjoyed. OK, Li Ke, you are really impatient... No, you can't say you are impatient, but the Goguryeo people are impatient. They don't understand the situation of my Tang Dynasty and think that the sooner you use your chess piece, the better. They don't know that it's too early to launch a rebellion now. The rebellion in a mere state wants me to be poor at dealing with it. It's like a dream. The Goguryeo people are too petty and have never seen the world!
He took the letter and went to the palace to ask for the emperor.
Today is a grand dynasty meeting. I have already attended the court in the morning. Changsun Wuji's letter was dispersed. After returning to the Secretariat, he received it. This time he entered the palace, which was the second time in a day.
Li Shimin was surprised to receive the notification from the little eunuch. If there had not been a major change, then Changsun Wuji would have rarely entered the palace twice in one day.
Shi Zhongchen was also surprised and said, "Master, but the war in Silla has changed. Will Silla be unable to support it so quickly?"
Li Shimin felt a little irritated and said, "No, Silla is not a weak country. How could it be that there was an urgent memorial sent in just two days? It was probably something else. Xuan Wuji went to the palace quickly and don't delay it."
Shi Zhongchen ran out in person and welcomed Changsun Wuji in. He asked in advance: "Sir Changsun, is there anything wrong with you? If it is not too important, it's okay to say it later. Today, the emperor is not in good spirits and cannot listen..."
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji shook his sleeves and said, "You have to listen if you can't listen. Otherwise, when things get bigger, what you hear will be even more serious. Just take advantage of the fact that things are still small, and you can settle them as soon as possible!"
Shi Zhongchen said, thinking: "Fixing up? Isn't this word often said by Wang Ping'an? Why did even Wuji's old man follow him!"
Changsun Wuji quickly entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has just received a letter from the Great Governor of Youzhou. The matter is about the King of Wu. Do you listen now? Or should you be steady first and then the old minister will talk about it?"
Li Shimin was shocked and almost jumped up from the dragon couch. He shouted, "Is it a letter from Youzhou? It's about Ke'er? Oh, no wonder Ke'er has been so long and has not sent a letter back. Something happened. Wuji, Wuji, why didn't you send the generals to you earlier, and Ke'er was in danger!"
He thought Li Ke was assassinated by the Goguryeo people. His kind father was very anxious. He had no two eldest sons and could not afford to have no third one!
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The King of Wu was not in danger. On the contrary, he turned Yingzhou into a dangerous place and pushed the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty into a fire pit!"
As he said that, he took out the letter and presented it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took the letter and read it halfway through it. He was shocked. As the emperor, he had never experienced anything. He had hit his father, brother and younger brother, and had been betrayed by his son. He knew everything and knew everything!
However, he did not expect that the son he cared for, Li Ke, whom he said to be the most like him, also betrayed him, and not only betrayed his father, but also betrayed the country!
When his throat turned sweet, Li Shimin poured into his mouth with a mouthful of blood. He forced himself to press it down, but his body shook and fell heavily on the dragon couch. The blood did not press down and flowed out along the corner of his mouth!
Changsun Wuji and Shi Zhongchen were shocked and rushed up together, screaming!
