No one noticed that Changsun Wuji quietly entered Chengqing Hall after the court meeting.

In previous years, as a family member of my mother, it was reasonable for him to go to pay New Year greetings to Empress Changsun.

But now that Empress Changsun has passed away for a long time, he can only meet Emperor Li Shimin when he enters the palace.

On such a special day, just to greet the New Year, will the two son-in-law and son-in-law chat in private?

"Assistant, I'm here to tell you who is the candidate to send troops to Gaochang." After Li Shimin sat down, he went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

Changsun Wuji did not speak in the court, but he could not escape this "catastrophe". What should be said should be said. As Sikong of the dynasty, he always had an attitude towards major events.

Changsun Wuji whispered: "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind to start a war with Gaochang?"

"What else?" Li Shimin's rhetorical question completely illustrates his attitude.

Changsun Wuji said: "The Gaochang Rebellion should be attacked, but this battle requires a lot of troops to be mobilized!"

"I have already thought about it. To ensure food and grass, I am afraid that more than 10,000 troops can be mobilized." Li Shimin sighed: "The troops are limited, so the generals who lead the troops are crucial and quite tricky."

"Does Your Majesty have a preliminary candidate?" Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice, with the intention of turning against the enemy.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Slippin, you can count with your fingers. How many people can take on this important task?"

"Uh... Your Majesty said this, it's true." Changsun Wuji said: "Li Ji may not be able to leave in Bingzhou. Prince Jiangxia needs to be on guard against Xue Yantuo in Lingzhou. Xue Wanche is a little older..."

"So he is the only one!" Li Shimin frowned and said, "I have to let me tell you first. Do you need to hide it so much between you and me, and be polite and hypocritical?"

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji was still timid, but he still didn't mention who to send troops.

Li Shimin was not really angry, and said casually: "Hou Junji is a military general. He is a brave man. He has only made a temporary stopgap solution to the Ministry of Personnel. He did a good job in rectifying the administration of the officials, but he offended many people for this. I am sorry to him.

It is logical that he should be given some compensation, but Gao Chang is a tough guy. Perhaps no one else can take on this important task except Hou Junji, so he is definitely wronged."

Changsun Wuji agreed and said, "Duke Lu is one of the best military generals in our dynasty. I believe that the officialdom and military forces are truly suitable for him, and I believe that he is willing to share his worries for His Majesty."

Li Shimin said: "Well, even though that's the case, I still have to talk to Junji. I don't want to use an edict to suppress others, so that the ministers will feel resentful."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

"Hmph!" Li Shimin pretended to be unhappy and said with a look of expression: "I heard that Chengqian and Qingque both gave you a New Year gift?"

"Yes, all the princes are filial. I remember that my uncle, not only the crown prince and the king of Wei, but also the three princesses of Jin, Chengyang, Hengshan and Jinyang, also gave gifts to each other. Your Majesty rested on your mind, and I have prepared generous New Year's money."

"Hmph, don't go around with me. You should give your nephews New Year's money. Would I worry that you treated your nephews badly?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "As for your nephews, it's all right to respect you, but the things given by the Chicun and the princess are really meager. How can you compare to Chengqian and Qingque?"

Changsun Wuji said: "The courtesy is inferior to others, and the nephews (daughters) are satisfied no matter how important they are."

"Come on, is he interesting to you?"

"Your Majesty, your hands are full of flesh. They are all your sons and nephews." Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said a seemingly inexplicable answer.

But Li Shimin understood. After hearing this answer, he was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said: "If it was a commoner's family, I would naturally be willing to treat everyone equally, but they were born in the royal family. This country of thousands of miles..."

"Your Majesty, this is why you need to be extra cautious." Changsun Wuji hurriedly advised him.

"I know what I know." Li Shimin said: "If it were not forbidden, how could I cause trouble for myself?"

"His Majesty Yankangfang has gone to make a reservation?" Changsun Wuji asked carefully.

"Of course!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "I went to my son's house to sit. Is there any problem?"

"Okay!" Changsun Wuji pondered: "Your Majesty, go to the East Palace to sit when you have time!"

"Slippery!" Li Shimin complained and pondered: "You can handle a bowl of water equally, but I don't have to worry."

Changsun Wuji's heart was shocked. Li Shimin's seemingly calm words were heard strange. His Majesty the Emperor was hinting himself. As for the content of the suggestion, Changsun Wuji, who was a mature man, naturally understood it.

His Majesty Li Er is not allowing himself to intervene in the princes' struggle, especially the Eastern Palace and the Wei Palace. Why?

Are you afraid of being a uncle? Are you worried that you helped a nephew? Or are you because you were worried that you would help someone? Or for some other reason?

Anyway, Changsun Wuji knew in his heart that waves were stormy, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

If you only talk about yourself, you might go home and drink a hundred cups and then burst into tears, but when you think of the situation that might occur in the future, Changsun Wuji felt a burst of uneasiness.

The same goes for the words, the palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and they are all his nephews of Changsun’s family. It is hard for him to imagine what would be like if his sister was still alive in the world and seeing the current situation?

What can I do? Who let them be born in the royal family?

Furthermore, no matter which prince is the biological son of His Majesty the Emperor, he can make up his mind. What else can others not accept?

"Yes, I obey the order!" Changsun Wuji bowed and made an answer and promise to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Auxiliary machine, Guanyin maid is gone. If you have time, let Changle go back to the palace to see more. I am too busy. My young brother and sister have to trouble her, the elder sister, to help take care of her."

Changsun Wuji understood that this was another hint, and the focus was on the words "young younger brother and sister". Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both adults and could not use Changle's care. What does this mean?

Changsun Wuji, who was as clear as a mirror, nodded immediately and said, "I understand. I will tell Princess Changle to know after I go back."

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "You know about the Honglu Temple and ask them to send people to Tuyuhun to discuss joint troops; and then send someone to inform Li Ji and Li Daozong, guard against Xue Yantuo and others to avoid taking advantage of the situation.

The matter of Gaochang must be concluded as soon as possible. Xie Yi did not say it today, but we should all understand that Gaochang is behind the Western Turks. If they cannot curb them this time, they will become more and more serious in the future."

"Yes, I obey the order." Changsun Wuji immediately accepted the order.

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Well, after the completion of the work, let's go home. Let's talk about the New Year with peace of mind. No matter what, you will have to do serious actions after the fifteenth." (To be continued.)
