In Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin put down his last memorial today...

Due to the Gaochang Rebellion, the Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Revenue, as well as the Honglu Temple and generals in the army have delivered many memorials recently. Even during the New Year Festival, they are not idle at all.

The matter of Hou Junji's expedition was decided, and he only summoned him once in Chengqing Hall. Before he could fully explain it, Hou Junji took the lead and volunteered.

However, Li Shimin understood that saying it was taking the initiative was actually forced.

After the summoned order was delivered, Hou Junji realized that he had to go to this trip to Gaochang. Instead of letting the emperor put his face down and said earnestly, it would be better to take the initiative.

This will prevent the king and his ministers from making things difficult for each other, so the face will be better. Of course, the prince will have more guilt.

The people who went to war were selected, and the number of soldiers was also determined, just 6,000 soldiers.

If the number of people is greater, the number of soldiers and civilians transporting food and grass at the Qilian Mountains will need to increase exponentially, which is obviously not what the Tang Dynasty can afford at present.

So I can only hope that Hou Junji will lead these 6,000 elite troops to travel through thousands of miles of Gobi desert and successfully quell the Gaochang Rebellion.

Although Tuyuhun's cooperation has not yet responded, considering the relationship between the two sides, there is no problem.

The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the marching route and the supply of food and grass. When Li Shimin was worried about this, he discovered something very interesting.

Before we knew it, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue suddenly had a grassroots official in Hexi, Longyou, and they all took active action to prepare for the Hou Junji to pacify Gaochang.

This is a bit of a surprise.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he was curious about the identities of these people, when did the officials of the Tang Dynasty have such high awareness and enthusiasm?

Obviously unlikely, Li Shimin did not have such a good self-feeling.

As the emperor, it was easy to find this information, but soon the final result pointed to the Eastern Palace and Li Chengqian.

When Li Shimin saw this final result, he smiled.

His idea was very simple. He felt that Li Chengqian had grown up. He was using this method to share his worries for the court and his own worries. As for his son's silent cultivation of his own power, he also saw it, but he did not react too aggressively.

They all came from the prince. It’s nothing strange if they have some confidants. As long as they are controlled within a certain range, it doesn’t matter.

Li Shimin was quite pleased. He did not expect that his son had a more unpredictable intention. It was not that his emperor's mind was not enough. Instead, as a father, he still had confidence in his son.

The prince has grown up!

Very good! Li Chengqian was secretly happy and felt that his previous practice had worked. Only by increasing the pressure could Li Chengqian be anxious and keep improving.

So this whetstone plan can continue, and Li Shimin subconsciously made up his mind.

Putting down the red pen, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Are you ready to visit the Prince of Wei's Mansion?"

A corner of Chengqing Palace walked out of an inconspicuous eunuch and whispered: "Go back to Your Majesty. The palace is ready, and the Wei Palace is also actively preparing to take over the journey, and there is no mistake."

"Where is the reward? Are you ready?"

Li Shimin asked a little abruptly, so the eunuch was a little surprised and hesitated slightly, "The rewards for His Highness, the princess and the prince are ready. I wonder if Your Majesty has any instructions from others?"

Li Shimin pondered: "Prepare a gift for the elders of Yankangfang, and then prepare a commendation, and announce that the people of Yankangfang will be exempted from taxes for one year on the day of the Wei Palace."

"Yes!" The eunuch's eyelids moved slightly. It was obviously a little surprised, but he agreed immediately. He knew very well what these things mean and what impact they would have in the end.

The emperor was not confused. It was natural to make such an arrangement, so he would not have any doubts, only obey and obey.

"By the way, I heard that Chengqian and Qingque both went to Shaolingyuan today?" Li Shimin suddenly asked in a daze.

The eunuch lowered his head and said, "Yes, there is a polo game, and it is over now. The prince, the king of Wei, and the people of various prefectures have returned."

"What's the situation?"

"this……"

Li Shimin originally just asked casually, but when he saw the eunuch hesitating slightly, he frowned and asked, "But what happened?"

"Yes..." The eunuch dared not hide it. He immediately told the story of the Shaoling Plateau one by one, without missing any details, and was impartial and clear. Although he was not on the scene, his words seemed to be in a state of mind, which surprised his source of information and accuracy.

"Chengqian and Qingque Betting are different? Did the Chingnu also participate?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"Yes, the prince bet the Du family, the King of Wei bet the Wei family, and the King of Jin bet the draw, but His Highness of Jin bet probably to help Xie Changshi rescue the siege." The eunuch was blunt and thought of not hiding anything.

"Chicun, child..." Li Shimin sighed softly, and did not say anything more, but his eyes were particularly deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's going on with the conflict between Xie Yi and the Wei family?" After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin immediately asked about another life.

"It was originally because of a child..." The eunuch then slowly told the situation, and still striving to find details.

"A girl from the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion is involved? Is it also involved?"

"Yes, Princess Jincheng of the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County came forward to protect Wu Er and Miss Xie. Princess Jinyang and Miss Xie have always been familiar with each other, so they also came forward."

Li Shimin continued to ask: "Qingque came forward to protect the Wei family? Didn't he help Yizi?"

"His Highness of the King of Wei made peace, perhaps because he wanted to ease the conflict." The eunuch did not make a decisive decision this time, but instead gave an inexplicable assumption.

Li Shimin hummed lightly and did not respond, looking a little unhappy.

If Li Tai saw this scene, he would definitely be frightened. At that time, he only wanted to protect the Wei family, but forgot something very important.

That is what Princess Jinyang felt, and she even forgot the weight of this mother's sister in the emperor's heart.

It is not wrong to calm down and plead for others, but as a brother, it is wrong to ignore the facts and make aggrieved the younger sister. In addition, the excessive dispute with Li Chengqian is too much.

Li Shimin vaguely felt that Li Tai was not doing well in terms of brothers and respect.

Li Chengqian seemed to have good performance. Perhaps His Royal Highness had no such idea at the time, just to sow discord, but it was an indisputable fact that he inadvertently defended his sister.

This is the situation that Li Shimin hopes to see, and he feels a little more favorable. In addition, today's things seem to be a bit complicated, and there are many things to consider.

For example, Xie Yi, in theory, said that the return of Xue Yantuo was considered to be a meritorious in the country and should be rewarded by merit. But in this situation, Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate. How should he reward him? (To be continued.)
