Chang'an, the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace. The dynasty meeting started from morning to noon. The ministers were already hungry, but the matter was still not discussed.

Li Yuan looked at the bustling ministers in the hall and quarreled fiercely, his face became more and more gloomy.

The Li Tang court faced not only the problem of Fu Gongyou defeating Li Xiaogong, but also the entire northern region was in a panic at this time, and all they received were bad news.

Li Jing, the chief general of Liangzhou, reported that Zhang Hu, a native of Guazhou, Li Tong, joined forces to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, killed He Ruohuaiguang, the chief general of Guazhou, captured Dou Fuming, and established Dou Fuming as the main force, using Guazhou as the base, and attacked from all sides. Just when Li Jing was about to lead the Liangzhou army to quell the Zhanghu rebellion, Turkic enemy appeared in Lanzhou. In order to prevent the Turkic invasion, Li Jing saw that the enemy was unknown and did not dare to be careless.

At this time, not only Turkic enemies appeared in the Liangzhou General Administration of Northwest China.

On November 19th, the Turks invaded Fengzhou; on Yiyou (the eleventh day), they invaded Shuozhou again. Li Gaoqian, the general manager of Shuozhou, was defeated by the Turks, and the Turkic army attacked Shuozhou City, and led his troops to repel it for the deputy general manager of the army, Niu Junda.

On November 1st, Gao Kaidao attacked Youzhou and repelled Li Shiji, the Protectorate of Andong.

At this time, not only the north is in a turbulent state, but even the native leaders of Lingnan and other places are ready to move. At present, the Tang Dynasty has a huge difference in the issue of north and south, first south and then north. In fact, the differences are mainly concentrated on Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

A faction of ministers believed that Fu Gongyou's rebellion was unpopular and could be resolved through political means, and the Turks' desire to destroy the Tang Dynasty was clear and they had to be prepared for it.

However, another sect minister believed that it was cold and the land was frozen at this time, and it was inconvenient to transport food and grass north, and the supplies and armor were transported. Moreover, it was necessary to stabilize the internal situation when fighting against foreign countries. Now the Tang Dynasty is unstable, how can we go north and resist the enemy with peace of mind?

The ministers of the two factions started a crazy fight, citing scriptures and refuting word by word, and the ministers on both sides quarreled.

Just when Li Yuan's patience was about to be exhausted, King Li Yuanji of Qi suddenly roared: "Shut up!"

Li Yuanji's energy was strong and he roared so hard that the hall was filled with dust.

However, since this, Li Yuanji scolded these ministers at once.

The ministers looked at Li Yuanji in confusion.

Li Yuanji roared with red eyes: "What's the point of being a mere Jianghuai Army? If the court pacified it, it only needs to send an envoy to a general and lead three or five subordinates to pacify it within more than a month. However, the Turks are the strong enemy of our Tang Dynasty. Although the national strength of the Turks is slightly weak, they are strong in their troops and horses, and their light cavalry come and go like the wind. Moreover, the Hu people fear power but not virtue. If the Tang Dynasty retreats, the Turks will inevitably become rich and will not destroy the Turks. The northern border of the Tang Dynasty will never have peace!"

"Your Highness of the King of Qi is such a bad thing!" At this time, Feng Deyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, made a list and retorted without hesitation: "The Turkic bandits have always invaded the Central Plains, which is a disease of tinea scabies. The Jianghuai is a problem of the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and the disease of tinea scabies can still be cured. However, it is difficult to treat the big troubles of the heart and confidants."

Speaking of this, Feng Deyi quietly observed Li Yuan's reaction and carefully said, "Your Majesty, I think the Turks are not good at attacking cities. They have tens of thousands of troops rushing thousands of miles away, but they have captured several forts. However, Fu Gongyou of Jianghuai plans to rebel and change the order to Tianming. As the saying goes, there is no two masters in heaven and no two masters in earth. If the Tang Dynasty does not destroy this beast, how can he dominate the world? What's more, does Your Highness really think that the Turks are easy to deal with? Once the war is stalemate, Fu Gongyou takes the opportunity to attack Jiaoguang in the south, Qilu in the north, and ruin the world, what should he do?"

Li Yuanji said angrily: "I am afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. So just shrink your head into your pants and be a turtle!"

"You..." Feng Deyi was so angry that his neck was so angry that his blue veins raised, as if he was a disgusting earthworm.

When Li Yuan saw that his confidant old minister was almost angry with Li Yuanji, he shouted: "Sanhu, shouldn't he be arrogant and ruthless, why don't he apologize to Shangshu Feng?"

Li Yuanji dared not to give Li Yuan's face. However, Li Yuanji has always been this kind of personality. On the surface, he bowed to Feng Deyi and said, "Feng Shangshu, Yuanji offended you. You are not careful about villains. Forgive Xiao Wang this time!"

Although the words were words of apology, there was no sign of apology in his tone.

Feng Deyi was so angry that he turned his back too much and ignored Li Yuanji.

After all, Li Yuanji is a famous donkey-tempered person and a famous bastard. Not to mention him, even Li Yuan still contradicts him.

If Feng Deyi was angry with him, he would seem a little petty.

In desperation, Feng Deyi had to pretend not to be angry, but the anger in his heart could not calm down at all.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and saw that Li Shimin seemed to be like an old monk entering into meditation, with an ancient look on his face.

Li Yuan thought to himself: "King Qin, finally grown up!"

In fact, Li Yuan did not know that Li Shimin was not interested in the Turkic people who came and went like the wind. It was not that he didn't want to fight. The key was that it was easier to fight the Turkic people than to fight Fu Gongyou. The Turkic people were rats. As long as there was a little bit of trouble, they would slip faster than rabbits. Unless they were willing to fight to the decisive battle, they would not be able to find them at all.

However, the Jianghuai Army is different. Although the Jianghuai Army has tens of thousands of troops, unfortunately there are only a few cavalrymen. He only needs 30,000 Black Armored Iron Cavalry to be dispatched and he will definitely be able to win.

At this moment, Chen Shuda said: "Dear colleagues, have you ever thought that Zhang Shan'an could use it? If we send people to contact him, reward officials or give him a title as a condition. Will he cooperate with our Tang Dynasty? Now Zhang Shan'an is the pseudo-Song Southwest Xingtai Shangtai Pushe, holding heavy troops and spanning more than a dozen states. If we can convince him to mobilize troops to attack Fu Gongyou, Yunuo will help him with his strength, work together to seize Jianghuai, and entrust him to the King of Chu..."

Before Chen Shuda finished speaking, Yang Gongren retorted: "Is Zhang Shan'an so easy to fool? Besides, when the alliance has been decided, I'm afraid the opportunity has been missed. Moreover, winter and spring come, the Turks will inevitably rest and recuperate, and Fu Gongyou can also take this opportunity to gain a foothold in the Jianghuai River and pacify the rebellion of the Jianghuai River for a long time. There are food and grass all over the key passes in the southern expedition, and there are also maps of the mountains and rivers of the Jianghuai River. They know the troops stationed everywhere in their place. They can use this southern expedition to unify the world and relieve their worries. At that time, careful preparations for the northern expedition will be a safe plan. Otherwise, once Fu Gongyou and the Turks unite, our Tang Dynasty will start a war on both sides, which will greatly damage our vitality."

Li Yuan heard the two factions of people arguing, and saw that Li Jiancheng was standing in the class for a long time and said, "What does the prince think about this?"

Li Jiancheng calmly left the squad and stood still, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my son thought that if he fought against the Turks at this time, it would be speculative and there was not enough preparation. In this severe cold season, the northern country was ice and snow, and the supplies were difficult to continue. Once our army was cut off from the rear, the consequences would be dangerous. In the right time, place, and people, this battle was too dangerous without sufficient preparation. Moreover, because Fu Gongyou's rebellion, Lingnan, southern Fujian, Ningzhou, and Guizhou were always rebellious. Therefore, my son thought it was suitable for the south... not the north."

"The prince's words hit me very much!" Li Yuan smiled and said, "Since I have come to the north to fight against the Turks, there is no need to discuss it anymore. I ordered all the states and general offices in the northern border to be on high alert and not give the Turks the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The court organized a large army to prepare for the Nanding Fu Gongyou!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Who can be the commander in the military affairs of Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong!"

At this moment, Li Shimin, who had originally closed his eyes slightly, suddenly said, "I'm willing to go!"

Before Li Yuan could react, Li Yuanji spoke at the same time: "My son is willing to go!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and still said: "My son is willing to relieve his worries for the king and father!"

Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said, "Pei Qing, what do you think?"

Pei Ji nodded and said, "The old minister thinks that the prince is responsible for supervising the country, and now the court cannot do without the prince!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Pei Ji with some surprise. He did not expect that Pei Ji would become Li Shimin's person.

In fact, Li Jiancheng really wronged Pei Ji because he was not Li Shimin's person, he was the real Li Yuan's person. He had already seen that Li Yuan was playing with power again at this time. Li Jiancheng returned to the court with the great contribution of quelling the rebellion of Liu Shishan in Hebei. Compared with the two, Li Shimin was weaker at this moment. Li Yuan was worried that Li Shimin could not balance Li Jiancheng, so he smiled and said, "Erlang, you should go to the battle!"

Li Shimin was suddenly overjoyed.

Li Jiancheng felt a little disappointed.

At this moment, the Zhongchangshi shouted loudly: "The General of the State is here!"

The ministers' eyes involuntarily looked towards the direction outside the hall gate. At this time, Chen Ying was wearing regular clothes and walked in slowly.

Chen Ying politely said to Li Yuan: "I am here to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in peace!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Retreat the court!"

Originally, Chen Ying thought that Li Yuan summoned him to ask for advice, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.

When the officials left the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace one after another, only Chen Ying, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were left in the hall.

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying and said, "Is Sanniang's illness better?"

"Okay...a little!" Chen Ying said.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Sanniang is a miserable child, you must treat her well!"

Chen Ying bowed and said, "I understand!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's good..."

Chen Yingzhi said tactfully: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first, and I will have to accompany Sanniang to have dinner!"

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying with a aggressive look, and sighed for a long time: "That's good, too!"

...

The Qi Prince’s Mansion, on the martial arts field.

Bang bang bang-

Amid the dull and huge sounds, the sharp arrows, with the sound of breaking through the air, shot one by one on the target, and the arrows penetrated into the bull's eye, with fierce force.

Far from the center of the field, Li Yuanji held a huge bow and kept beating his bow and arrows, looking cold and even terrifying.

The surrounding guards of the Prince Qi Mansion, Xie Shufang and others were waving their weapons not far away, but their eyes were always looking at Li Yuanji's direction, and they were perfunctory.

Li Yuanji pulled out three arrows at a time from the arrow bag, all of which were placed on the bowstring, and shot them out at one time.

Three arrows hit the bull's eye accurately, and a burst of cheers immediately came from a distance.

Li Yuanji suddenly turned around and stared at the cheering Uncle Xie and others fiercely.

The cheers came to an abrupt end and everyone was silent.

Li Yuanji suddenly threw the big bow to the ground, turned his head and walked towards the war horse strolling beside him, turned over neatly, and jumped onto the horse's back.

Li Yuanji squeezed his legs and his horse's belly, and the horse trotted, rushing out of the martial arts field, gradually accelerating.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly appeared in front of Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji tied the reins in shock.

Sigh--

The horse neighed, raised its front hooves, stopped in front of Li Jiancheng, and kept sniffing.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Come out and ride a horse, you didn't even call me..."

Li Shimin glared at Li Jiancheng with lingering fear and shouted angrily: "Why did you run over like this? I'll kill you!

Li Jiancheng was stunned by the roar, and his face, which was originally smiling, froze.

Li Yuanji suddenly woke up, then pressed his head in pain, and leaned on the horse's back and moaned.

Li Jiancheng said: "Sanhu, just cry if you want to!"

Li Yuanji said in a harsh voice: "This is so dangerous, why are you here for?"

Li Jiancheng took a step forward, raised his smile again and said, "I forgive you for yelling at me."

As he said that, Li Jiancheng waved to the guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion beside him. A guard walked to Li Jiancheng with a divine war horse. Li Jiancheng turned over and sat upright on the horse's back and said, "Sanhu, let's compete, who is faster!"

Li Yuanji shouted: "Okay!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode their horses and were immersed in the fun of galloping on horseback, especially the cold wind whistling in his ears.

The guards behind Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji insisted on chasing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

On the frozen Weibian River, Li Yuanji jumped off his war horse, rushed to a willow tree, kicked at the willow tree, and with the crackling sound, the snow on the willow tree fell down in a sensation.
