Although the news of Qin Huaifeng's suspected escape made Li Shimin a little unhappy, he didn't pursue it.
In Li Shiming's opinion, it was uncertain whether Qin Huaifeng, who had left Lianyun Castle alone, could return to Chang 'an safely.
Moreover, even if Qin Huaifeng really became a deserter, Li Shimin would not possibly be unhappy with Qin Qiong over such a small matter.
After all, Qin Huaifeng was the eldest son of the Yi Public House. Li Shimin couldn't possibly want Qin Huaifeng to sacrifice himself in Lianyun Castle!
"If it's confirmed that Qin Huaifeng really ran away, then I'll find another good son-in-law for Changle!”
After Li Shi Min made up his mind, he no longer bothered about Qin Huaifeng's whereabouts and instead discussed the mysterious White Robe Army with his subordinates.
"Dear ministers, please take a look at this battle report…Let's start with Shu Bao!”
Li Shimin tore up the part about Qin Huaifeng in the messenger pigeon and only sent the battle report to the ministers.
Qin Qiong saw that Li Shiming was going to distribute the messenger pigeon to the ministers, and was very nervous in his heart, thinking that his son's reputation was about to be swept to the ground.
When the letter reached his hand, Qin Qiong noticed that there was only a battle report on it, and there was no description of Qin Huaifeng escaping at the last minute. He was instantly stunned…
Soon, Qin Qiong found that the note was torn, and he understood that Li Shiming had secretly protected his face.
Thinking of this, Qin Qiong was instantly moved. At the same time, he secretly hoped in his heart:
"Huaifeng, don't be silly.”
"The Wing Public House is so favored by the Emperor, this deserter can't be!”
……
Immediately after, Qin Qiong seriously read the battle report, and very quickly, his eyes widened." Two hundred people surrounding an army of thirty thousand? How is this possible?"
Qin Qiong had been in the military for half his life and had heard of countless battles where he defeated many with fewer people. He had even fought many beautiful battles where he defeated many with fewer people.
However, two hundred people were trying to kill an army of thirty thousand?
He had never heard of this before!
At this moment, Qin Qiong couldn't help but think of the battle at Lianyun Castle, that mysterious Black Knights that killed 10,000 people.
Could it be that these were the peerless strong armies that His Majesty had secretly trained?!
Thinking of this, Qin Qiong subconsciously probed," Congratulations, Your Majesty. You've obtained another peerless army!”
Li Shiming was stunned when he heard this. He then shook his head and said," Uncle Bao, don't push me! I really don't know the origins of this white-robed army! Let's continue to circulate the battle report!"
Qin Qiong was slightly stunned, and then he passed the battle report to Fang Xuanling beside him.
Old Fang took the battle report and glanced at it. He subconsciously exclaimed," Is this true? Zhishi Sili's 30,000-strong army was surrounded by 200 White-robed soldiers at White Stone Beach?!”
When the old master shouted, all the officials in the Dew Palace knew the contents of the battle report and immediately exploded.
"200 to surround 30,000? How did he do it? This is unbelievable!"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War says that if you want to surround an army of 30,000, you need at least 10 times the number of soldiers, which is 300,000…But this army of white coats has completely overturned the art of war!”
" I can't believe it. Old Fang, quickly bring me the battle report…" The Minister of War, Du Ruhui, shouted at Fang Xuanling without regard for etiquette.
"Wait, don't be anxious. I'll watch it again.”Fang Xuanling was like a child who had just received a new toy. He refused to give it to her no matter what and wanted to watch it again.
How annoying!
Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, and a few other civil officials immediately stopped Fang Xuanling and snatched the battle report from his hands.
Soon, all the civil and military officials had read the battle report, and they were all stunned.
Minister Zuo Pushe Pei Ji suddenly said," Your Majesty, I suspect that this battle report is fake. Please investigate its origins and confirm its authenticity to prevent being misled by the enemy!”
Pei Ji was a person who advocated peace and would always jump out from time to time to disgust people, especially when he saw such exaggerated battle reports.
Li Shi Min snorted and ignored Pei Ji. He knew very well whether this battle report was true or false.
It was impossible for the portion of information he had torn out about Qin Huaifeng to appear in the fake battle report.
"I want to know a few questions now. What was the origin of these two hundred white-robed soldiers? What did it have to do with the mysterious Black Knights that appeared in Lianyun Castle? Who was his commander? Dear ministers, please use your strengths and investigate as soon as possible!”
Li Shi Min ordered.
All the officials received the decree and immediately got busy. They had to use all kinds of methods to find out what Li Shiming wanted to know.
Li Shi Min looked at the battle report in his hand and secretly looked forward to it.
"I hope that the auxiliary army, Apothecary, and Jing De can make good use of this opportunity to fight a few beautiful battles!”
"At that time, even if we have to negotiate peace with the Turks, we can at least preserve the face of the Great Tang!”
……
After the court meeting, Li Shimin left the Dew Palace and walked towards the rear palace.
When Li Shimin arrived at the Hall of Political Establishment, the graceful Empress Zhangsun was teaching Princess Changle how to draw.
Seeing Li Shi Min arrive, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Chang Le immediately stood up and greeted him.
"No need." Li Shimin waved his hand and looked at the painting that Princess Changle had drawn. He found that it was a pair of lovebirds and could not help but joke," Is Changle thinking of getting married?"”
Although Princess Changle was only fourteen years old, she was already of age for marriage in the Tang Empire.
Moreover, the girls of the Tang Empire developed early. The fourteen-year-old Princess Changle was already about the same age as the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls of the later generations. She was slim and elegant, like a hibiscus emerging from the water.
"Imperial Father is joking with me again! Speaking of this, I still want to complain to Imperial Mother!”
Princess Changle pouted slightly and said to Empress Zhangsun," Mother, Father didn't ask for my opinion. He just said that he wanted to marry me off…I feel so wronged!”
Empress Zhangsun naturally knew what Li Shi Min had promised Qin Qiong.
She knew very well that this seemed to be a family matter, but it was actually a political matter.
Therefore, the clever and virtuous Empress Zhangsun ignored Princess Changle's complaint and said with a smile," Silly girl, a man should get married when he's of age, and a woman should get married when she's of age. What's there to be wronged about?”
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Empress Zhangsun's response. He nodded slightly and said with a smile," That's right, Changle, you say it like I'm trying to harm you on purpose!" You haven't even met Qin Huaifeng, and you already feel wronged?”
Princess Changle pouted slightly when she heard this." Father is always like this. He doesn't even ask for other people's opinions before making his own decision…I didn't say that I have any objections to Qin Huaifeng!”
"Okay, okay, okay…Then tell me, what kind of husband do you want?”
Li Shiming asked dotingly," As long as you like it, I will help you find it!”
"This is what Imperial Father said!"
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile," My husband must be a peerless hero! If he can't do it, I won't marry him!”
