Li Shimin has never been a person who is free from vulgar tastes, from his fondness for collecting the wives and concubines of his opponents to the scene before him.

Of course, Li Chengqian himself was unwilling to admit that he had the purpose of showing off when he went to see Jie Li.

"Jie Li, do you still remember the gathering in the ninth year of Wude? I told you that fighting for the world depends not only on swords and guns. You once deployed 300,000 cavalry here, but now you have become a loner. Do you know why?

?"

"It's a pity that I killed too few people here back then. I really should have let those 300,000 cavalry crush Chang'an and razed Chang'an to the ground, so that I wouldn't have to have you bossing me around today."

"Jie Li, you still haven't regretted it until now. You don't have a single soldier or general at your disposal. Do you think you still have a chance to make a comeback? It's ridiculous."

Li Shimin's disdain made Jie Li feel extremely humiliated. This was even more humiliating than when he knew it was Li Chengqian who defeated him.

In his opinion, this once defeated general under him was a typical villain. He just had a few good generals and gave birth to a good son, and what not.

If it weren't for the foolish chiefs' greed for money, I would have killed you in my ninth year of martial virtue.

"Li Shimin, do you think you really defeated me? Otherwise, the little guy behind you is the one sitting in the prison car today. But don't be too complacent. I don't have 300,000 cavalry, but I still have

There are millions of subjects.

If you dare to kill me, my son will use this to call on his troops to recruit another 300,000 cavalry to compete with you in the Central Plains. When the time comes, his cavalry will directly crush Chang'an. Think of Sima Ye. I guarantee that you will be better than

He is ten times disabled."

"Jie Li, do you think I will be afraid of your threat? After I kill you, how about I send this little guy you talk about to deal with your son?

You think I can't beat him, let alone your son who is as stupid as a pig."

Even Emperor Min of Jin moved out, and the toothless tiger did everything he could to save his own life.

Could it be said that a person's mental state deteriorates so drastically after he is captured? With such obvious alienation tactics being used, it seems that Jieli is really at the end of his rope.

"In three days, just wait until you get stabbed in the east city of Chang'an and hit the road." After saying that, he snorted and was about to go crazy. He jumped behind him and muttered Jieli, a Turkic country curse, and led everyone back.

Royal Palace.

"Your Highness, this Jieli cannot be killed. Mobei Chuding, if you kill him, Dingxiang's hundreds of thousands of troops will fall into the quagmire of war, and they will be unable to pull out.

In that case, the imperial court will be dragged down alive, and this great situation will be wasted, and the blood of the frontline soldiers will be shed in vain."

Changsun Wuji pulled Li Chengqian and kept talking, now that the emperor is angry, he might really do this.

"Uncle, I heard from my cousin that you have the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Annals notated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Can you borrow it from my nephew to look at for a few days?"

Hearing that Li Chengqian wanted his heart, Changsun Wuji's face wrinkled into a bun shape.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you there tomorrow. Tell me quickly." After a while of whispering, Changsun Wuji chuckled a few times.

Many years later, Li Chengqian found out that on the day he blackmailed Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong not only received a severe beating but also knelt in the ancestral hall all night...

In Lizheng Palace, the palace people were running around under the instructions of Queen Changsun, and the small kitchen was cooking various dishes that Li Chengqian liked to eat.

Li Chengqian saw Empress Changsun scolding the palace servants who had done something wrong from afar. This scene was so familiar. It had been a long time since he heard the nagging of Changsun, not to mention that he really thought about it.

So he walked a few steps faster and walked to the eldest grandson, saluting him and saying, "I have seen my mother and asked her if she is in good health."

Seeing her son coming back, Empress Changsun grabbed him, looked at him for a long time, and let out a long breath.

"You're not injured, right? They told me after the battle that you personally led the troops into battle again. They were so frightened that they almost fainted."

"My son is protected by Huaiyu and the others. He will be fine."

Perhaps because he was too nervous about his son, Changsun's hand was tightly grasped on Li Chengqian's injured arm. He lowered his head and looked at his hand, which was stained red by a stream of bright red blood.

Seeing her son's wound being pinched open by herself, Empress Changsun burst into tears. No matter what Li Chengqian said, she couldn't stop it.

After some troubles from the imperial doctor, Li Chengqian stood respectfully in front of her again.

"If I had known that you were going to fight on your own, no matter what your father said, I would never have let you go.

You kid, too. There are so many generals on the front line, why are you trying to be a hero? Why did you agree to come when you left?"

Empress Changsun complained while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"When my father was the King of Qin, during the battles at Hulao Pass and the peace battles, Xue Rengao often rushed in front with his sword, and I came last."

"He is him, and you are you. He doesn't have an old lady waiting helplessly at home, but you do."

Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Empress Changsun interrupted him.

Of course he knew that his eldest grandson felt sorry for him. Moreover, his eldest grandson also suffered from Qi disease. He must have suffered a lot for being worried about him. Thinking of Li Chengqian, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"I know I was wrong. I promised my mother that I would never rush ahead or do that thing of licking blood with the blade of a knife. Isn't that okay?"

If this battle is won, the threat from Mobei to our Tang Dynasty can be considered completely resolved, and my father can sleep peacefully."

"You kid, let me tell you something good about you, why don't you know how to cherish yourself? If you dare to lie to me again, I will chase you to the battlefield and drag you back by your ears."

After coaxing his mother, Li Chengqian had a delicious meal in Lizheng Palace. Extremely exhausted, he fell asleep early after returning to the East Palace.

Compared with him, Li Shimin was not so relaxed. He couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the documents sent from Hongwen Palace filled with documents requesting Jie Li's death.

He didn't want to kill Jie Li at all. What he said during the day was just to show the attitude of a winner.

But if he doesn't kill Jieli, what will the civil and military officials think, and what will the people of the world think? So these words must not come out of his mouth.

Tai Chi Palace in Five Days Later

After some greetings, Changsun Wuji was the first to walk out of the class.

"Your Majesty, I think it is better not to kill Jie Li." As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of the ministers in the palace buzzed like a swarm of bees flying by their ears.

It seems that the key is that my uncle is still sensible in the future, but today is different from the past, Li Shimin has no choice but to pretend that he is not.

"Auxiliary machine, didn't I make a decree? Why do you still want to protect him? You must know that Jieli is the source of trouble for the world."

Li Shimin's expression was very serious, and his tone was also very stern. People who didn't know him well would have thought that the emperor was angry, but Changsun Wuji heard something different.

Jie Li was indeed a scourge before, but now, how can a toothless tiger fight against Li Shimin, the real dragon emperor?

"Your Majesty, Jie Li's life and death is related to whether the Tang Dynasty can conquer the hearts of the grassland people. I think it is better to be cautious.

In our eyes, Jieli is a prisoner, but in the eyes of those grassland people, even if he fails, he is still the supreme khan.

At the beginning of Mobei, many of Jieli's old troops are waiting to see the court's attitude. If the court can treat Jieli with kindness, then these people will definitely put down their swords and guns and sincerely join Wang Hua."

"Mr. Zhao Guogong, are you worrying too much? Our army is the absolute overlord in Mobei. How big a splash can those small fish and shrimps make?"

Li Ke is very tough now. He has achieved military exploits during this expedition. Not to mention how powerful he is in the army, he has also established a good relationship with Tu Li and others. When he saw Changsun Wuji trying to protect Jie Li, he ruined his own affairs.

, then he can watch it.

"Father, Jie Li repeatedly raised troops to invade the south, killed my soldiers, occupied my city, and resisted my people like cattle and horses. It is really difficult to describe. How to kill without killing, how to explain to the soldiers and civilians who have died in vain for many years, and how to explain to the people of the world.

And the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Mobei Grassland, can they agree?"

Seeing Li Ke's righteous look, Li Shimin gave him a dead look. He seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy. What is it? He still hasn't figured it out yet.

"Well, the King of Shu is aware of the subtleties. He must kill a scourge like Jieli. Auxiliary machine, do you understand what I mean?"

Before Changsun Wuji could answer, the fat boy Li Tai stood up immediately.

"Father, I thought that Jieli had to be killed. From the martial arts to the present, how much property has Jieli robbed of us and how many families have been ruined? Has anyone kept statistics on this? We have won now. If Jieli had defeated us,

If we win, will he let us go?"

Li Tai and Li Ke's words were immediately approved by many courtiers in the palace, and they all went out to ask the emperor to kill this scum Jie Li.

Especially Wei Zheng, he even threatened that if he didn't kill Jie Li, he would be betraying his ancestor, Li Xu of this dynasty, and everyone would kill him.

His words made Changsun Wuji very angry. If he considers the country, he is a traitor. Do they have to stop talking arrogantly in the court if more people have to die?

After taking a breath, Changsun Wuji saluted the emperor again and said: "Now Jieli has no army, but he still has millions of people.

Even though the prison car escorting Jieli was protected by the army, it was attacked by herdsmen every day. Doesn't this illustrate Jieli's prestige among the herdsmen?"

"Zhao Guogong, you are too good at alarmism. Although the Hu people are numerous, they are still ordinary herdsmen. My hundreds of thousands of soldiers are looking at everything they are pointing at."

Having tasted the sweetness, Li Ke continued to criticize Changsun Wuji. He didn't care whether Changsun Wuji had any face or not. Whether it was for his own great cause or to vent his bad temper for many years, he had to say it today.

"Who said that all the people's hearts are towards Jie Li? So don't the many tribes that have come to join me in the Tang Dynasty represent the hearts of the people?"

What Li Ke said is also reasonable. During the battle of Dingxiang, Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Ba Yegu, Tongluo and other tribes all turned to the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, they jointly submitted a letter requesting Li Shimin to become the co-owner of the Mobei Grassland. After the news reached Chang'an, the emperor was excited for a few days.

"After all, Jieli is the co-owner of the grassland, so how many people can he represent? Didn't Chai Shao and the others just let Ajinasimo get entangled in the grassland? If they were really unpopular, would any herdsmen help them?

Since the ninth year of Takeori, nearly 130,000 of our troops have been killed in Yu Jieli's battles. If Jieli is killed at this time, then this number will be just the beginning.

By then, the Tang Dynasty will be deeply immersed in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Father, if you don't kill Jie Li, it will be difficult to intimidate the grassland tribes. I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to have Jie Li sentenced to death."
