After leaving Concubine Yang's bedroom, Li Er wanted to rest, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. This made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Preposterous!"
In the middle of the night, Li Er got up and paced back and forth in his room in his pajamas.
In the end, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more she couldn't fall asleep…
"I am the chosen one. Now, the Central Plains is under my control. The remnants of the Sui Dynasty are all hidden and dare not show themselves!”
"The Great Tang is thriving under My rule.”
"We clearly have the strength and confidence to bring the Great Tang to its peak. We are confident that we can create a golden age!”
"But you, Li Qiu, are going against me in every way. This is simply…preposterous!”
Li Er was alone and cursed repeatedly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he could not hold it in anymore.
"Men!"
"Inform Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, Qin Shubao…to enter the palace to discuss matters.”
"Take off my clothes and head to Taiji Palace immediately!”
……
Late at night, Li Er rushed to Taiji Palace. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were all drenched in cold sweat.
Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, and the other important officials were also startled awake from their dreams. They could only rush to Taiji Palace, whether they wanted to or not…
"Everyone loves the piano!"
Li Er looked at the dozen or so important officials in front of him, who were also his true confidants, and said earnestly,"You are all the people I trust the most.”
"There are some things that I won't hide from you.”
"This time, the School of Philosophers founded by Li Qiu has the help of the Mo family. It's like adding wings to a tiger!”
"Moreover, he currently occupies the Western Regions and Tubo. If he is allowed to develop, he will only become a major threat to Us and the Great Tang for a period of time, becoming another Jie Li Khan!”
"Therefore, I called all my beloved ministers here late at night.”
"It's to resolve this matter and come up with a feasible solution!”
Li Er's expression was solemn.
He really couldn't relax…
"Li Qiu and the Western Regions…indeed need to be dealt with.”Zhangsun Wuji frowned. He wasn't unhappy that Li Er had called him over in the middle of the night, but he was also wary of Li Qiu.
"This child is young but mature. His style of doing things is difficult to fathom. However, he has faced many incidents in the past. He is not a stupid person!”
"This time, he established the School of Philosophers with the help of the Mo family.”
"It would be best if…we could destroy them and capture them all!”
"It's not that simple."
Fang Xuanling shook his head." Your Majesty, I'm a civil official. I don't know much about military affairs, but the Western Regions is far away. Moreover, Li Qiu's subordinates are quite powerful.”
"If we want to fight from such a distance and annihilate Li Jiancheng's remaining party, the Great Tang's rations and military pay are still lacking. We need to think about it carefully…"
War? Of course he could fight.
But the problem was that he did not have the capital!
They had enough heroes and minions, but they didn't have that much gold. How could they fight?
"Indeed…"
Qin Shubao agreed,"It was unwise to send a large army to attack the Western Regions.”
"How can I not know?"
Li Er looked at everyone and slowly shook his head."Not only that, I have not ascended the throne for long. Many people in the world still have a deep opinion of me.”
"The Great Tang seems calm, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.”
"Mobilizing an army to attack the Western Regions is naturally not feasible in the short term.”
"However, what I mean is that we can't let Li Qiu develop at such a high speed!”
Li Er's thoughts were very simple…
Growth?
Yes, but your growth speed cannot be faster than mine!
Otherwise, even if I can still kill you, won't the price I have to pay be even higher?
No matter how you look at it, it's my loss! If that's the case, I might as well kill you in one fell swoop!
However, doing so would be a bit of a loss…who knew what trouble it might cause? In that case, was there any way to hold Li Qiu and the Western Regions back while not pressuring the Western Regions army? Slow down their growth?
If that's the case, wouldn't I benefit from it?
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, everyone present finally understood his thoughts.
Wei Zheng nodded and made his own suggestion...
"It is unwise to engage in a direct confrontation. Rashly pressing the border with an army and ignoring the domestic situation, although victory can be achieved, it is also a foolish move.”
"In my opinion, why not…pay an acceptable price and cause some trouble for Li Qiu!”
"Oh?"
Li Er's eyes flashed as he vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but he was still a little short. He couldn't help but ask,"Minister Wei, you mean…"
"Your Majesty, why don't you give up some worldly possessions and kill with a borrowed knife?!”
Wei Zheng stopped as soon as he arrived.
Li Er, however, instantly understood and was enlightened…
That's right!
Why can't I kill with a borrowed knife?
Moreover, even if this saber can't kill people, can't I borrow another one? If he borrowed a few more, there would be a 'saber' that could succeed!
Even if those sabers were all bent and couldn't destroy Li Qiu and the Western Regions, they would definitely cause great trouble for Li Qiu.
After all, there were many small countries near the Western Regions.
Amongst them were the Rongri Dynasty and the Western Turks, countries that even the Great Tang would have to take precautions against…
"This plan is very good!"
Li Er was overjoyed.
This was the best of both worlds, alright?!
He had paid some of his worldly possessions to secretly ally with the small countries and have them act against the Western Regions and Li Qiu…
Even if they couldn't kill Li Qiu and destroy the Western Regions, they could at least slow down the development of the Western Regions.
In other words, no matter what the result is, I won't lose out!
Isn't this the perfect plan I've always wanted?
Li Er almost laughed out loud…
But then, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the people present, especially the generals, and hesitated…
"This plan is indeed good, but it requires a brave and resourceful existence with extraordinary strength to act as the leader and contact them.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that those small countries will take advantage of us!”
Of course, such a big matter had to be handled by someone with outstanding abilities.
If he sent a " stupid pig " over... wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?
Then, who should he film?
Li Er's gaze swept across Zhangsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the others…
However, in the next second, he ignored Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
They?
He was brave enough to lead troops to war, but he still needed to use his brain to ally with others?
Something would definitely go wrong if they were to find them!
And after eliminating them, there weren't many targets to choose from…
