"Um."
Wang De looked at Li Shiming and was stunned. He lowered his head, indicating that he had not seen anything.
Li Shi Min laughed for a while and said,"Wang De, go to the Eastern Palace in a while and tell the Crown Prince that this matter has been handled very well. Zhen is very satisfied.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang De nodded. His heart was clear as he thought,"It seems that I have to have less contact with the King of Wei in the future to avoid causing the Crown Prince's dissatisfaction.”
It was obvious that Li Shiming valued the Crown Prince very much. This also meant that Li Tai had fallen out of favor. As Li Shiming's subordinate, Wang De naturally had to correct his attitude.
"What a good day."
Li Shi Min couldn't hide the smile on his face as he walked towards the Dew Palace. He wanted to share his happiness with Zhangsun Wugou.
.......
The Turks!
A sudden plague had caused countless casualties among the cattle and sheep on the grasslands. Seeing that winter was about to arrive, Jili Khan made a decision and sent his troops south.
As a nomadic people, every winter was a severe test for the Turks. In order to minimize their losses, the Turks responded by pillaging the south.
From the Great Sui to the Great Tang, the border passes had been harassed by the Turks every year. For centuries, the Turks of the north had been the greatest enemy of the dynasties of the Central Plains.
"Patriarchs, it's time for the hunt.”
Ji Li Khan gathered Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo, and the other tribal chiefs and said with a solemn expression.
The Turks were just a general term, and they were made up of countless tribes of all sizes. As a result, the leaders of the tribes had very high statuses.
Although Ji Li was a Turkic Khan, he still had to negotiate with the tribal chiefs to decide the distribution of benefits and the number of warriors each tribe would send out to plunder the south.
"That's great, our Huihe warriors can't wait anymore.”
"Everyone, there was a large-scale plague in the grasslands not long ago. This time, we must hunt to our heart's content and return with a full load.”
"Haha, I heard that the Tang Dynasty has changed its emperor. This is a good opportunity for us to attack.”
“.......”
The group of tribe leaders spoke up one after another, their eyes filled with excitement and greed.
In the eyes of the Turks, both the Great Sui and the Great Tang were targets they could slaughter at will. Once a year, they were used to plundering from the south, and every time they returned victorious, they would bring back large amounts of spoils of war.
"Haha!"
Ji Li smiled when he saw everyone's reaction. He was very satisfied. Everyone obeyed his orders, which showed his prestige to a certain extent.
The Turks followed the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak. Benevolence, righteousness, and morality were useless here. Only powerful martial strength was the foundation of everything.
After a round of discussion, each tribe decided on the number of warriors they would send out to battle. After that, they agreed on the time to go out to battle and left one after another.
Ji Li looked in the direction of the Great Tang with a nostalgic expression."The prosperous Central Plains, I'm here. This time, I must take a look at the scenery of Chang 'an.”
Two hours later.
"Rumble!"
Jili Khan led his army south and headed straight for Jingzhou.
.......
Chang 'an Fortress!
On the official road.
"Giddyup!"
A messenger galloped into Chang 'an and broke the peace.""Quickly move aside. An urgent letter from Jingzhou's 800 li radius.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the crowd heard the messenger's words, their expressions changed drastically, and they all dodged to the side.
Eight hundred miles was an urgent mission. This was a messenger that would only be used when the war was critical.
"What's going on? Did the Turks attack?"
"Jingzhou is not far from Chang 'an, and there is only a martial arts barrier between them. If the martial arts fall, Chang' an will be exposed to the Turks.”
"How did this happen? Why couldn't the soldiers at the border hold on?”
“.......”
One question after another appeared in Hundred Believers 'mind, but no one answered them.
......
Imperial Garden!
Li Shi Min sighed and said,""Wugou, I really didn't expect that one day, Wei Zheng would actually lower his head and apologize to me.”
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Li Shiming and shook his head helplessly.""BenGong also didn't expect that the Crown Prince actually had such ability. However, this time, everything started because of you. Why don't we find some time to visit Lord Wei's house?”
"Yes, that should be the case. I'll call a few imperial physicians later and we'll go to Wei Zheng's house together.”
Li Shiming nodded. Although beating Wei Zheng up was very satisfying, it would be bad if something happened to Wei Zheng's body.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhangsun Wugou said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, an urgent letter from Jingzhou.”
Wang De walked up to Li Shiming and said anxiously.
"What?!"
Li Shi Min was shocked and his face turned serious. He said in a deep voice,"Invite all the prime ministers."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang De replied and turned to leave.
