Changle thought of this and no longer hesitated. Although she was young, she was decisive and did not drag things out. This was very similar to Empress Zhangsun's character, and it was precisely because of this.
Li Shi Min doted on her even more.
Chang Le quietly returned to the palace and changed into a set of palace maid clothes. He ordered people to inquire about the news outside while he waited anxiously in the bedroom. At the same time, many figures appeared in his mind.
All of them were bits and pieces of information about Qin Huaiyu. What she had seen today had actually left such an impression in her heart.
She could not be blamed. The impact Qin Huaiyu had given her was too great. The contrast between the two shocked her even more. For a moment, the figure of a young man and the image of a golden-armored man appeared in her mind.
They intersected with each other.
Unfortunately, she did not know that these two figures were Qin Huaiyu.
The palace maid quickly returned and whispered,""Your Highness, General Qin has been brought to Linde Hall by Eunuch Lin for a meal. There are many Golden Guards around and no one is allowed to approach.”
"This servant only knew after asking the imperial kitchen.”
Chang Le sat there, rubbing his hands nervously. Lin De Hall was where Li Shiming invited his ministers to enjoy the singing and dancing, but not everyone had the right to go.
She could guess that the money and the guilty officials in front of Taiji Palace were discussing state affairs.
Those who could be ranked among them must be the important officials trusted by Li Shiming. As for the other officials, they were eating in other halls. They were not qualified to sit with Qin Huaiyu.
She followed Empress Zhangsun and stood far away, not knowing what had happened in Taiji Palace.
She instructed softly,"Continue to keep an eye on him. If Father comes out, come and report to me."”
The palace maid bowed and left.
Chang Le propped his chin with one hand and sat in front of the table in a daze, wondering what Qin Huaiyu in Lin De Hall looked like.
In Linde Hall.
Qin Huaiyu was sitting beside Qin Shubao. It was obvious that he had been given a special seat. Otherwise, he would have been sitting at the innermost seat since he did not have the title of Duke.
He sat down and took a fruit and put it in his mouth. It was still very fresh. He smiled. He was really the emperor. Even though it was almost winter, he could still eat such a fruit.
He was also dumbfounded when he was stopped by a group of princes at Taiji Palace.
If they were really here to cause trouble or humiliate him, then it would be fine. He was not afraid of anyone. However, they were here to bow and apologize, even though Qin Huaiyu did not understand what they were talking about from the beginning to the end.
However, one should not hit a smiling face. After being surrounded for so long, some of the officials were envious. Even if these princes were not Crown Princes, they would still be princes who would be enfeoffed in the future. It would bring glory to their ancestors if they could befriend any one of them. Now, Qin Huaiyu did not take the initiative to befriend him, but the princes rushed to find him.
The bitterness on Qin Huaiyu's face was hidden under his mask, and no one knew. In the end, he was still rescued by Eunuch Lin and brought to Lin De Hall.
Even the princes were unable to enter Lin De Hall, and only Li Chengqian sat below Li Shiming.
Qin Huaiyu swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and palace maids walked in from outside Lin De Hall. They stood in front of them, put down the food, and walked out one by one.
The entire process was actually without the slightest disorder, and there was no sound at all.
Qin Huaiyu tilted his head and looked on.
No wonder it was said that even three generations could not raise a noble. Cheng Yaojin's family could be said to be the top group of nobles in the Tang Empire, but his family was undoubtedly a nouveau riche.
The Qin family was better off, not because of Qin Shubao, but because Madame Qin was educated and reasonable.
Lin De Hall's door closed.
Qin Huaiyu sat there and straightened his body. He could feel a trace of solemnity in the atmosphere.
Indeed.
Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne and said without hesitation,"Everyone, I've thought about today's matter countless times, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.”
"Ever since I ascended the throne, the border Turks have been constantly harassing me, seemingly testing my bottom line.”
" The five surnames and the Seven Wangs seem to be respected, but the people of the five surnames in Chang 'an have never gathered together. Whenever two surnames' patriarchs are based in Chang 'an, the other three surnames will definitely have their fiefs. Obviously, they have formed an alliance.”
"Do you have any objections to the beheading at three in the afternoon?”
After Li Shi Min finished speaking, he picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth, as if it was really just a casual chat at the banquet.
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and was about to stand up when Li Shimin said casually,"There's no need to bow today. Just sit down and talk. This was the situation in the army tent back then.”
Xiao Yu smiled and didn't refuse. He said directly,"Your Majesty, Cui Zhengdao dared to speak out today. He must have received Cui Ting's permission, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts.”
"General Li has already gone to the Five Families and Seven Wangs. I believe they will definitely send people over. They won't care about the lives of these people.”
"This old minister feels that today's matter will definitely cause a backlash from the Five Families and Seven Wangs. They won't dare to do anything against me, but the Turks at the border will. Winter is coming.”
"Even if the Ministry of Rites goes now, it's useless. This battle will happen sooner or later.”
Before Xiao Yu could put down his hand, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly,"Minister Xiao's words are what I like to hear. What's the use of the people from the Ministry of Rites going, they might even be beaten up.”
"To deal with those Turkic wolf pups, we need to beat them until they don't dare to take a single step into our Great Tang.”
"Previously, I said that there was no salary. Now, hasn't Huaiyu personally sent it over? Those hundreds of thousands of strings were enough to fight a tough battle.”
Cheng Yaojin was sitting there with a bold and decisive attitude, eating meat and drinking wine in a slovenly manner. Li Shimin seemed to have ordered the people in the imperial kitchen to remember each of their tastes.
Therefore, the dishes served were not ordinary. Xiao Yu's side had sake and side dishes, which appeared elegant. Cheng Yaojin's side had good wine and meat. They were extremely rough and enjoyed the food.
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Fang Xuanling curled his lips and said,""General Cheng, if you can fight a tough battle, will the Turkic cavalry fight you to the death? This old man has never been on the battlefield."
"But I've also read military books. You said that if the Turks retreat into the steppe, do you want to send people to pursue them or retreat?”
"Once we get entangled, the Turks have thick skin and flesh. Our Great Tang soldiers will not be able to endure the bitter winter and will probably suffer countless casualties.”
Cheng Yaojin sat there and did not answer him.
He looked at Li Shi Min and said,""Your Majesty, what do you say? I, Old Cheng, will listen to you.”
Li Shi Min imitated Cheng Yao's attitude and smiled at Qin Huaiyu,"Qin Huaiyu, do you think we should fight this war?”
