In Li Shiming's heart, his supreme imperial power and the stability of the emperor's position.
It was even more important than the safety of the country and the glory of the Great Tang.
As for Chu Qiu, through his past experience, Li Shiming was absolutely convinced that he would not dare to give Li Jing a direct order.
This was Li Shi Min's biggest taboo.
Chu Qiu was a smart person.
Moreover, Li Shi Min knew his abilities like the back of his hand.
As a substitute, he did not have the ability to make himself a figurehead.
From now on, he still firmly controlled the situation in the court and the military and political power.
It could be seen that
Chu Qiu was just a stand-in.
Then, the problem now must be Li Jing.
He actually dared to not report at all and actually dared to make the decision to start a fight?
Does Li Jing still have an emperor in his eyes?
……
Beside Li Shi Min, the masked leader of the Shadow Guards seemed to understand Li Shi Min's thoughts.
Therefore, he reported everything he knew.
After hearing the report from the leader of the Shadow Guards, Li Shi Min frowned.
The furious expression on his face slowly returned to normal.
Li Shi Min immediately said:
"Even if he has already grasped all the movements of the Tibetan army and knows the mountainous terrain of the Tibetan army like the back of his hand, and has set up an ambush, he is confident of victory…"
"Shouldn't you have reported to me in advance the moment you ordered the attack?”
"He still doesn't have this emperor in his eyes…"
Li Shimin replied to Li Jing.
He really loved and hated her.
Back then, he and Li Jing had split into two groups to conquer the various dukes.
Half of the Great Tang's empire had been conquered by Li Shi Min, and the other half by Li Jing.
However, Li Jing had always been loyal to Li Yuan and supported Crown Prince Li Jiancheng.
Although he had succeeded in his position, there seemed to be an estrangement between Li Shi Min and Li Jing.
Li Shi Min would never be able to treat Li Jing like how he treated his direct descendant Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong.
He couldn't trust Li Jing like he trusted Cheng Yaojin, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
However…
Li Jing's prestige and ability were there for all to see.
The Great Tang War God's strategy and commanding ability.
No one was unconvinced.
Li Jing's existence was a deterrent to the enemy country.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Li Shi Min had no choice but to use him.
This was truly a thorny matter.
"But this time, didn't he deliberately embarrass me?!”
"He's gone too far!”
Li Shi Min sighed deeply in his heart.
……
The leader of the Shadow Guards said,
"General Li has already escorted the Tibetan King Songzan Gambo back to Chang 'an.”
"It is said that General Li has already expressed his intention to apologize in front of His Majesty for launching an attack without authorization.”
" His Majesty's 'Shadow' is already preparing to receive Li Jing back to the court…"
All the Shadow Guards, regardless of their position, would use 'Shadow' as their code name when they mentioned Chu Qiu.
Most of the low-level Shadow Guards didn't even know the real name of Shadow.
Although the leader of the Shadow Guards knew Chu Qiu's name, he still addressed Li Shi Min as 'Shadow' when he was around him.
Li Shi Min laughed, his face was filled with disdain as he said sadly,
"Now that he has destroyed Tubo and captured Songzan alive, he has obtained the credit of the Great Tang's destruction. His military might is at its peak, so why is he carrying a bush to beg for forgiveness?! He's using my army…"
Li Shi Min's expression suddenly became anxious and angry.
"I dare to punish him? I'm afraid that the next day, I will be drowned by the saliva of the commoners and courtiers…"
"If zhen were to punish him, it might even lead to a mutiny.”
"But he attacked without permission and did not put me in his eyes. How can I swallow this?!”
As he spoke, Li Shi Min's eyes darted around.
As if he had thought of something, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Li Shi Min suddenly thought that he wouldn't go see Li Jing personally if he came to beg for forgiveness.
It could be considered as successfully avoiding an awkward situation.
"How's Chu Qiu?" Li Shi Min asked.”
