005
In Chang 'an, a single horse left the dust.
Soon, an urgent letter was sent up.
Taiji Palace Dew Hall.
Li Shi Min gripped the letter tightly.
He stared at her intently.
The King of Wu, Li Ke, was out hunting and was intercepted by the Eastern Turks. He fled into the Eastern Turkic territory during the chaos and was shot in the back. His life and death were unknown! This is a matter of the overall situation. The garrison does not dare to act rashly. Your Majesty, please make a decision!
Below the hall.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Shiming in the eye.
Everyone had different expressions in their eyes.
The King of Liang, Li Yin, was anxious and couldn't help it.
"Imperial Father, your son earnestly requests that we immediately send people to search and rescue third brother!”
Li Ke and Li Yin were brothers from the same mother. Their brotherhood was deep and they really cared about each other.
Li Shi Min's gloomy face eased a little.
Although he could never have it again.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who was seated at the head of the princes, also stepped forward.
"Imperial Father, your son also feels that Third Brother's life is at stake and that the Great Tang's reputation is at stake.”
Li Shimin was satisfied with the brotherhood and consideration of the Great Tang's reputation.
Li Chengqian, who was observing his expression, was secretly delighted. He had finally started a conversation this time.
Behind him, the King of Wei, Li Tai, narrowed his eyes at him.
"Your son also requests Imperial Father to order the troops stationed in the Dark Cloud Prefectures to rescue Third Brother. At the same time, send an envoy to negotiate with the Eastern Turks!”
Li Tai gave a concrete plan, which was one step further than the Crown Prince.
Li Shi Min nodded slightly.
This made Crown Prince Li Chengqian's expression slightly gloomy. Li Tai's words were always slightly better than his.
However, what made him most wary was that Li Tai had mentioned the Nether Cloud Prefectures, which meant that not only did he want the Serenity Plains to send people to help, but also the Cloud Plains next door.
Was it to increase the rescue efforts, or did he see something?
His gaze could not help but tilt towards the leader of the row, Zhangsun Wuji.
As if sensing something, Zhangsun Wuji stepped out.
"Your Majesty, I'm very worried about what happened to the King of Wu. But I don't understand why the King of Wu would risk his life to enter the Eastern Turkic territory for the sake of hunting and entertainment when the relationship between the two countries is tense.”
Old Zhangsun's sinister words changed the tone of Wu Wang's matter.
On the dragon throne, Li Shi Min leaned forward and stared at him.
"You mean, Ke 'er asked for it? Don't we have to save him?"
The anger in the Emperor's tone made Zhangsun Wuji lower his head hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I also think that the Crown Prince is right. This concerns the descendants of the royal family and the face of the Great Tang. We must rescue the King of Wu. However, in order to prevent the relationship between the two countries from going into a complete conflict, the emissary's negotiation was the most important.”
Zhangsun Wuji's words brought out the Crown Prince's benevolence and wisdom. After all, they were the Crown Prince's faction.
But he didn't approve of sending reinforcements, fearing an all-out war with the Eastern Turks.
At this moment, the civil officials echoed.
"Censor Zhang Quanling agrees with Zai Fu. We should put the overall situation first!”
"I, Imperial Censor Li Wenbo, agree with Zai Fu. Sending troops must not be allowed. It will bring the two countries into war!”
“......”
Zhangsun's might was average.
At this moment, Wu Xun was somewhat dissatisfied. Wasn't this weakening his prestige?
The leader, Duke Wei, Li Jing, walked out with his head held high.
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that the Turkic barbarians have long since harbored disloyalty and have repeatedly provoked us. In the end, there will be a time for a battle.”
Cheng Yaojin immediately followed up.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing is right. Whether it's the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, if they dare to start a war, we'll kill them!”
Yuchi Gong was unwilling to be left behind.
"Old Cheng has finally been tough this time.”
"Bullsh * t, ask that person. When have I not been hard?”
With Wu Xun's ruckus, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
Zhangsun Wuji snorted coldly.
"Duke Wei, peace has not been easy. In recent years, the Great Tang has been at war, and the people have suffered.”
Before Li Jing could reply, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned red.
"Old man Zhangsun, that Turkic barbarian wants to ride on your head and pee and shit.”
"You, how preposterous!”
The main hall became a quarrel between the civil officials and Wu Xun.
However, no one mentioned Li Ke's safety anymore. The King of Liang, Li Yin, had to speak up for his brother again.
"Imperial Father, we can't just count on those Turkic barbarians. It's better to send troops to rescue them!”
Li Shi Min's face was gloomy as he looked at the noisy crowd.
"Draw up a decree to send people to the Eastern Turks. At the same time, station troops in Youzhou to rescue the King of Wu.”
