Chang 'an City, Tang Empire, Taiji Palace.
All the officials came to discuss the matter here.
Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Great Tang, sat on the Dragon Throne. He was not angry, but he was imposing. With a wave of his hand, the imperial aura enveloped the court.
"Your Majesty, we've already spread the news of the Eastern Turkic Great Khan Ashina Tuli's death as you requested.”
"According to the reports from the four armies, Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, and the Western Turks have all deployed their troops at the Eastern Turkic border."
"There's a big fight going on."
Hearing the reports from the officials, Li Shiming smiled.
"Dear ministers, it seems that this method is quite effective.”
"Now that all the factions have surrendered to the Eastern Turks, our Great Tang has a chance to breathe.”
After he finished speaking, the civil and military officials nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, yeah"
"Your Majesty is right."
"The Eastern Turkic Khagan's death has stirred up the various factions, giving our Great Tang a chance to breathe."
Li Shi Min laughed and looked around. He gripped the throne tightly and said with ambition,
"Dear ministers, in my opinion, this is indeed a chance to breathe."
"But it is also an opportunity for the Great Tang to develop.”
He suddenly stood up and pointed in the direction of the Turks.
"In my lifetime, I will definitely completely resolve the crisis of the Turkic barbarians!”
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Li Shi Min's imposing manner, the crowd couldn't help but be convinced. They bowed and said in unison,
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty and uphold the dignity of the Great Tang.”
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty and uphold the dignity of the Great Tang.”
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty and uphold the dignity of the Great Tang.
Li Shiming nodded as he looked at the reactions of the officials.
At the same time, he cast a sidelong glance at a group of old ministers who belonged to the Retired Emperor. These old fellows had become more cautious ever since they were reprimanded by him last time. They could be considered a source of trouble.
However, Li Shi Min was confident that he would take care of these old guys one by one. They wouldn't be able to escape.
......
"Your Majesty, General Yuchi has arrived."
At this moment, a eunuch quietly walked up to Li Shi Min, bowed respectfully, and said in a low voice.
"General Yuchi is waiting outside the main hall.”
The Tang Emperor Li Shi Min's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out,
"Quickly let him in."
A moment later, Yuchi Jingde walked over from afar, clad in armor. He walked to the entrance of the hall and placed the saber at his waist into the hands of the armored soldier in front of the hall. Only then did he respectfully walk into the hall.
In Taiji Palace, Yuchi Jingde bowed to Li Shimin and said,""Your Majesty, I have returned."
"Good!"
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed as he looked at Yuchi Jing De and said,"Jing De, where is Bai Lie? Could it be that he is also waiting outside the hall?"
"Quick, quick, quick, let Bai Lie in. Let me take a look at this white-robed Divine General who has shaken the Ying Province.”
He said,
All the officials in Taiji Palace looked out of the palace.
After all, Bai Lie's reputation was too big now.
The current Marquis Champion was simply too honorable.
They also wanted to see what the white-robed Divine General who had killed Ashina Tuli looked like.
"Ahem."
Yuchi Jingde smiled awkwardly.
Facing the expectant gazes of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and all the officials, he scratched his head and replied,"
"Your Majesty!"
"Bai Lie did not return with me.”
"What?"
He didn't come to Chang 'an?"
After Yuchi Jingde finished speaking, a clamor suddenly broke out in the court.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Even the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin, was stunned. Bai Lie didn't come back with Yuchi Jingde?
According to the etiquette of the Tang Empire, after he, as the emperor of the Tang Empire, issued the decree, the marquis had to return to Chang 'an to receive his seal and household register from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.
And now, Bai Lie had not returned?
"Eh, what exactly happened?”
Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at Yuchi Jingde.
Yuchi Jingde smiled bitterly and said helplessly,"
"The reason why Bai Lie didn't come back with me, Yuchi Jingde, is because"
"Your Majesty, he refused to accept your decree."
