On this day, the Turks attacked. Even though Li Shi Min had made preparations, the Turks still killed many people along the way. In some places, not a single person was left behind. Corpses littered the ground.
In the palace.
"The Turks have already attacked from Liangzhou and are approaching Chang 'an. What do you think we should do now?”
Li Shi Min sat in the main hall and looked at the ministers, asking,
"Your Majesty, we should immediately send soldiers to stop the Turks.”A minister walked out and said.
" No, we have to defend Chang 'an now. We will then transfer troops from the local areas to Chang' an," another minister said.
After a while, all the ministers in the hall voiced their opinions. Now, the hall was in a mess. All the ministers insisted on their opinions and quarreled.
Li Shi Min looked at these officials and heard their words, his face filled with disappointment. What they were saying was nonsense. Now that the Turks were attacking, one side would send troops to fight, while the other side would hold Chang 'an and wait for reinforcements.
Be quiet, Li Jing. Tell me your opinion."
"Your Majesty, the Turks have already come from Liangzhou. I've seen on the map that we have more than one hundred thousand soldiers, but they're all infantry. If we rashly send troops, we won't be a match for the Turkic cavalry.”Li Jing told Li Shimin his thoughts. Li Jing knew that even if they confronted each other in the Wei River, the Turks would not go back so easily.
"Li Jing, immediately mobilize the soldiers to stop the Turkic attack at the Wei River. Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, listen to Li Jing's orders. You must stop the Turkic attack at the Wei River," Li Shimin ordered. There was no time to delay, and there was no time to make any further arrangements.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
" Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Chang 'an City must not be in chaos. You must make proper arrangements and stabilize the emotions of the people in Chang' an City.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After leaving the court, Li Shimin went to the Empress's bedroom. He was very annoyed, and he didn't know if the Turks could hold off the Wei River.
" Your Majesty, why don't you ask Su Chen if he has any ideas?" Empress Zhangsun thought of Su Chen when she saw Li Shimin's uneasy look. Since Su Chen could guess that the Turks would attack, he should have a way to stop them.
"I wanted to ask that brat last time, but I forgot to ask him because of Zheng Liwan.”Li Shiming was angry when he thought of Su Chen. He had just gotten engaged to his daughter, and he had found a woman in just a few days. Although there was a reason for this, Li Shiming was still a little angry.
"Your Majesty, just go and ask. For the sake of the country, don't be angry anymore. If Su Chen has a way, it means that Your Majesty has found a good son-in-law, right?”Empress Zhangsun was also very angry when she found out that Su Chen had found a woman, but there was nothing she could do. Who knew that their accident on the street would be seen by many people?
"Alright, I'll ask that brat. If he has a way to deal with the Turks, I'll agree to Zheng Liwan and him.”Li Shimin said something to Empress Zhangsun and left the palace to look for Su Chen.
Su Chen was living a carefree life now. Zheng Liwan was in charge of the house, so there was nothing going on outside. Zi Lan Pavilion had already been renovated, but it had not been decorated yet. The tables, chairs, stage, and so on were still being built, and it would probably take another two days to finish.
Su Chen was about to make his choice again.
"System, begin selection."
"Ding, the host can choose one of them."
"1 box of milk
20 sets of Victoria's Secret
30 gunpowder bombs and gunpowder formulas."
Su Chen looked at his choices for the day. A carton of milk. This was something that he had never drunk before in the Tang Empire. Su Chen was excited when he saw the ten sets of Victoria's Secret. Zheng Liwan would definitely look beautiful in them. When Su Chen saw the ten gunpowder bombs and gunpowder formulas, he stood up happily. These things were great weapons. In ancient times, there was no city that couldn't be destroyed with these things.
Su Chen didn't hesitate and chose this option.
"System, I choose 30 black gunpowder bombs and black gunpowder formulas."
"Ding, 10 gunpowder bombs and gunpowder formulas have been placed into the System Space.”
Su Chen did not take these out of the system space. These things were too dangerous. If they were accidentally ignited, it would not be a joke. His home might be finished.
"Qingya, where did Madam go? Why didn't I see her early in the morning?”Su Chen came out of the room and walked around the house but didn't see Zheng Liwan.
"Young Master, Madam has gone to the fields outside the city. It's about time to harvest the grain. Madam wants to see how much grain we can harvest this year.”
Su Chen was speechless when he heard Qing Ya's words. They hadn't started harvesting yet. What could they see now? Besides, how much grain could there be in that 200-odd mu of land? The grain production in ancient times was very low. Zheng Liwan just couldn't stay idle.
"Have the guards followed them? The Turks are about to attack, and there are more and more robbers.”
"Guard Captain Wang Hu brought a team of guards with him. Young Master, don't worry."
"Okay, that's good."
Su Chen didn't care anymore. After all, nothing would happen with the guards following them.
At this moment, Li Shiming came in. The guards didn't stop him, knowing that he was Su Chen's future father-in-law.
Father-in-law, why are you free to come? You officials must be very busy these days, right?"
"I'm just a small official. What's there to be busy with?”Li Shimin looked at Su Chen lying on the recliner and drinking something called Coke.
" My life goal is to sleep until I wake up naturally, count money until my hands cramp, have ten thousand acres of fertile land, be rich, and have beautiful women as many as clouds," Su Chen said and realized that he was like this now. It was as if he didn't have to do anything anymore.
" Don't you have anything you want to do? For example, be an official or something?" Li Shimin listened to Su Chen's words and felt that even though he was the emperor, he was not as carefree as Su Chen. He had endless things to do every day, and he had to get up early and stay up late to deal with state affairs.
"No, what's so good about being an official? A small official has to be bullied by a big official, and a big official has a lot of things to deal with. I'm so busy. It's better for me to do whatever I want now. No one cares about me. Isn't that good? Why do I have to suffer?”
