Li Shimin in the hall was talking furiously, as if Xue Yantuo was a piece of loose sand. The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did nothing, and then they saw it suddenly collapsed. ↗

Li Su heard a trace of unusual smell, carefully looked up at Li Shimin's expression... Well, the expression was very subtle.

A flash of inspiration in Li Su's mind suddenly figured it out.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Xueyantuo in the north and Tubo in the west have always been a major concern of the Tang Dynasty. It was not possible for Li Su to have a small plan to work.

The recommendation of the empowerment is just a dose of medicine. What really works is probably the cause of Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials behind the scenes.

The ambitions of the big and small princes of the Zhenzhu Khan grew. They secretly sent people to contact the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. In the past few months, various tribes frequently launched rebellions, and the tribes' powerful people took sides to make trouble. The whole country was in chaos from Khan to herdsmen. These results were probably not something that could be achieved by just a mere conspiracy.

Recalling the comments against Li Shimin and Fang Qiao when they were searching for him in a low-dress manner, Li Su immediately understood.

Look at Xue Yantuo's current situation. He ignored the current situation of his butt, and obviously used the effect. It seems that Li Shimin still listened to his words. Not only did he listen, but he also did as he did. No wonder Li Su always felt that everything that happened in Xue Yantuo was familiar. It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty sent spies to incite, bribe, form alliances, and join forces. The Tang Dynasty's spies had a lot of fun in Xue Yantuo.

Bad guy! I don’t say I’m rewarding dozens of cents of money for praise after using my intellectual property rights, I don’t care about it…

…………

Li Su stood in the hall and listened to Li Shimin's words, blinking non-stop.

Of course I understand the meaning, and I also understand why the monarchs and ministers in the Tai Chi Palace gathered together today. Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty would not be as simple as laughing at the fun. Anyone in front of me was a traitor and slick old fox, who planned the country, people and money, and made a mess. Xue Yantuo had such a big deal. If the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty just watched the fun, it would be too naive. God gave a good opportunity. If God didn't plan his old neighbors, God wouldn't spare himself.

Typically, you will take your life while you are sick.

Li Su felt that she had accidentally fallen into the wolf's den, and was filled with the howling of wolves, her hungry eyes flashing with faint green light staring at a little rabbit that accidentally sprained her leg...

There is no doubt that the poor little rabbit is Xue Yantuo.

I understand, but Li Su still doesn't understand... Why are you plotting against you?

"God-given opportunity!" Li Shimin laughed.

The ministers in the hall also laughed one after another. Among them, Cheng Yaojin and the generals of Li Ji laughed the loudest, and even the old monk's internship Li Jing also smiled with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was indeed a good opportunity for the Xueyantuo to be in civil strife. As a friendly neighboring country, the Tang Dynasty must do something for the peace and stability of the Xueyantuo situation.

Although the Tang Dynasty is a period of vigorous national strength and military strength, the inner sage and outer kings have become the basic national policy, and the Tang army has shown its strength and shook its neighbors timidly, this does not mean that the Tang Dynasty has rested. The Western Turks in the north, Xueyantuo, Shiwei, Mohe, Goguryeo in the east, Tubo in the west, etc., for the Tang Dynasty, these neighbors are not easy to deal with. While everyone maintains superficial peace, there are also many frictions. Generally, more than 70% of them are sure that the Tang army has already killed them and picked them up.

Now something happened in a neighboring country. The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty expressed their favor and agreed to it, and at the same time they reached a consensus that we cannot just watch the fun. We must have a motivated spirit to make things difficult for our neighbors and also take advantage of it.

The main issue discussed by the monarch and minister today is how to make trouble for this unlucky neighbor.

Li Su was very happy, and his sense of national pride was instantly bursting out. He didn't know what Hu was excited about. Anyway, he was just happy. He was obviously doing something to put down the wrongdoing, and a group of old and unconventional people laughed happily.

"Li Su, thanks to you who gave me a favor, the Tang Dynasty has only gained the opportunity to make profits today. Those who plan for the country are half because of human affairs and half because of God's gift. God does not take it, but instead suffers guilt. Now Xue Yantuo is in a civil turmoil, how can I not take it? What do you think?" Li Shimin stood up and exuded a stern emperor domineering spirit.

All the ministers said, "It's very good."

No matter the famous generals or moral gentlemen of the world, no one opposed Li Shimin's decision.

Morality and compassion are only for the people of our country and for foreign countries and neighboring countries. What the Tang Dynasty needs is to make them king. Only by storing all the land and population of neighboring countries in one's own territory can those suffering people escape from the sea of ​​suffering and ascend to the Pure Land of the Tang Dynasty...

Li Shimin set the tone, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace began to discuss. There were many issues discussed, including the name of the Tang army sending troops. Should we directly conquer Xue Yantuo, establish the Tang Dynasty's Protectorate Palace on Xue Yantuo's territory, or support puppets, and indirectly control and manipulate Xue Yantuo. If we directly conquer, who should be appointed as the commander? If we support puppets, we should choose which of the three fathers and sons of the Khan family, or simply choose another one among the tribes of the country...

The hall was noisy and noisy, and the civil officials whispered to each other. The generals patted their chests and rushed to fight. Cheng Yaojin used military force in the hall, kicking Li Ji and Niu Jinda staggered, blushed, jumped into the middle of the hall with a loud voice, shouting at Li Shimin for his commander's seal immediately, otherwise he would hit him to death.

The very warm scene was filled with a strong atmosphere of leaping into the king and his ministers. Everyone strives to be the first, and the country's vitality can see the whole story.

However, there are many people and many ideas, and the messy noise cannot be achieved at all. The other side of the military general was fighting for the marching commander, and Cheng Yaojin had already beaten several people in a row. The smell of gunpowder in the hall became stronger and stronger.

Li Shimin, full of joy, couldn't help but frown deeply.

The atmosphere has changed a little, so it won’t work if this continues. Besides, this is a choice that concerns the fate of the country and cannot be decided rashly.

"You are so quiet and quiet, don't lose your manners!" Li Shimin shouted loudly.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and the civil officials stopped talking, and Cheng Yaojin also withdrew his fingers that were inserted into the nostril of a military general, and sat upright in a panic.

Li Shimin stood up, glanced coldly around, and then said, "You are leaving. If you have any great comments on Xue Yantuo, you might as well write it in the memorial and submit it. Li Su, please stay."

All the ministers bowed and said their backs. Cheng Yaojin shook at him before leaving, not knowing what message to convey. Forget it, just pretend that he didn't see it...

Only Li Shimin and Li Su were left in the hall, and Li Su began to daze again.

After so many people were driven out, what did he do if he was left as a child?

The Ganlu Palace was very quiet. Li Shimin frowned deeply, as if he was hesitating and struggling between sending troops and supporting him. Li Shimin didn't speak, and Li Su naturally didn't dare to speak. So he knelt honestly and sat down for a while, feeling uncomfortable, his calf hurt and numb, and there were signs of cramps. He looked at Li Shimin who was in deep thought. Li Su quietly changed his posture, changing from kneeling to cross-legged, which was much more comfortable now.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak, being dazed is Li Su’s strength. So Li Su started to dazed.

Li Shimin was indeed very hesitant. It was related to the fate of the country and had to be cautious. He was the soul of the Tang Empire and determined the fate of millions of people and the country. To the left or right, if you are not careful in your decision, you will lead the entire empire into the abyss and fall.

The advantage of sending troops is that the territory of Xueyantuo is directly controlled by war and officially becomes the territory of the Tang Dynasty. From a geographical point of view, if Xueyantuo is occupied, the Tang army can form a strategic restraint on the Western Turks, Shiwei, and Mohe and other neighboring countries. The north and south form a horn to eye these neighboring countries, which is beneficial to the future strategic layout of the Tang Dynasty.

Just when Li Su was almost asleep, Li Shimin suddenly spoke and broke the silence.

"Li Su..."

"Boy is here."

"Can the thunder produced by the Firearms Bureau be used for a great war?"

Li Su scratched his head: "It depends on how big the war that His Majesty said is. It may be possible to support it for one or two years..."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What if it was five or six years?"

"It's definitely not enough." Li Su said decisively.

Li Shimin sighed, looking a little disappointed.

It has to be said that the thunder of the sky created by Li Su has encouraged the arrogance of the monarch and his subjects, and he has a certainty in his combat power, so Li Shimin has the confidence to discuss whether to send troops. If there is no such thing as thunder of the sky in the world, Li Shimin might not have considered sending troops at all.

Seeing Li Shimin showing a disappointed expression, Li Su hesitated for a moment and decided to say a few unpleasant words.

"Your Majesty, in fact... the thunder is not omnipotent. This thing seems domineering, but it can be a weapon for combat in siege and village plains, but its limitations are also very large. For example, gunpowder is prone to moisture in rain and snowy days, and it cannot ignite the leads when fighting with the enemy. The danger of transportation and storage is also very high. It can only serve as a tool to assist in combat, but it cannot really determine the outcome of a war..."

Li Shimin's expression became more and more gloomy and sighed: "I know that everything has strengths, there will be some shortcomings. There is no perfect thing in the world, but with this thing, it will undoubtedly increase the winning rate of my king's army. The Xueyantuo Rebellion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. If I miss this time, if I want to go back to the future, I don't know what year or month, maybe I will never wait for this life."

Li Su lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Shimin is telling the truth. If you miss this thousand-year-old opportunity, you may really have no chance in the future.

Li Shimin looked at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Speaking of Xue Yantuo's rebellion today, I have to ask you Li Su to offer advice. The young man is also a country-minded person. Let me tell you, should the Tang Dynasty send troops to attack Xue Yantuo directly, take him into his pocket, or support the prince of the Zhenzhu Khan, so that the Tang Dynasty can control him from afar?"

This is hard to answer. He is not very familiar with His Majesty Li Er and does not know his nature. If he chooses the right one, it is Li Er who is keen on talent and good at accepting good advice. If he chooses the wrong one, he is mistaken by a treacherous minister. There is no doubt that the treacherous minister's surname is Li and his name is Su.
