The royal study was completely silent. Only the heavy breathing of Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji could be heard.
Thousands of waves rolled up in the hearts of the monarch and his subjects. Their thoughts were disrupted by Zhao An's article.
After a long silence, Li Shiming put down the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice,""Wuji, how credible do you think this is?”
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said,"Your Majesty, I don't know."
"If anyone else said that, then this subject would have to give them two slaps and punish them for speaking nonsense.”
"But this Zhao An is Mr. Qin's student. He could write such an article because he was instructed by Mr. Qin. This Mr. Qin is really a little mysterious.”
"I dare not directly deny what he said.”
Li Shi Min was silent for a long time before he said,
"I don't dare to directly deny Mister Qin's words.”
The royal study fell into silence again.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the royal study.
"Your Majesty, bad news!"
Li Shi Min frowned and said in a deep voice,"What happened?"
The door of the royal study suddenly opened and an old eunuch rushed in. When he saw Li Shi Min's gloomy face, he immediately went limp and knelt down, saying in a trembling voice,"Your Majesty, something big has happened."
"The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince are fighting."
"Did Fourth Bro cause trouble again?"
Li Shi Min frowned and felt a wave of frustration.
This child, Li Tai, relied on his love for him and caused trouble every day. Now, he even dared to hit his own brother, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang. He was truly lawless.
Li Shi Min subconsciously thought of the few children he met in Great Liang Village today.
At the same age, the children of a few farmers in the wilderness had already become Elementary Scholars, while his own child, the Fourth Prince of the Great Tang, was still causing trouble all day long. It was truly a comparison of goods!
However, there were more important things to do now. Li Shiming didn't have the time to care about Li Tai's matters. He waved his hand and said patiently,"Lock Fourth up and let him out when he knows his mistake.”
"Yes, sir!"
The old eunuch trembled and thought,""Doesn't His Majesty usually dote on His Highness the most? How could he bear to punish him today?"
The eunuch, who was keenly aware of Li Shiming's mood, quickly retreated.
The royal study fell into silence again. After a long time, Li Shiming suddenly raised his head.
"Go investigate!"
"Zhangsun Wuji, I order you to send someone to investigate immediately!”
"Mobilize the Beacon Towers and all the relay stations to the northern Turkic territories. This emperor wants to know if the snow is truly endless in the north. This emperor wants to know if the Turkic territories are too cold to advance!”
"As long as you find it, you can come back and report to me regardless of whether it is true or not. I don't want to wait for a single one. I don't care how many horses die!”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Shiming's cold eyes and couldn't help but feel the pressure of entering the mountain.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"I'll arrange for the manpower now!"
With that said, Zhangsun Wuji did not dawdle and walked out of the royal study quickly, heading straight for the government office.
Only Li Shi Min was left standing on the spot, looking in the direction of the Great Liang Village and letting out a long breath.
"I can't afford to make any mistakes in military affairs. I'd rather believe it than not!”
"Mr. Qin, I hope your conclusion is wrong. Otherwise, who knows how long our Great Tang will have to wait for this opportunity to counterattack the Turks?”
Zhao An, who was still in school, could never have imagined that the essay he had written under Qin Qi's guidance would cause such a storm. The few most powerful people in the Great Tang were suddenly alarmed by his essay.
