Do you wish to recall Wang Gui?
If they hadn't been in the main hall, if Xiao Yu hadn't asked.
Li Shi Min would have slapped him long ago.
Wang Gui was Li Jiancheng's most trusted aide.
Li Jiancheng was about to leave.
Wei Zheng was the only civil official in the court who had taken a fancy to him, but Li Jiancheng hadn't left yet, and he wanted to get Wang Gui back? Then wouldn't Li Jiancheng's power grow a little stronger?
However, Li Shiming only dared to think about these words in his heart.
If he said it, he would probably be the one to suffer.
Li Shi Min knew that he couldn't stay silent for too long, because he was sitting on the dragon throne, and everyone's eyes were on him. The pressure was also on him.
He had to give an answer immediately.
Li Jiancheng stood there with his hands casually placed by his side.
He understood.
No matter what Li Shiming chose, he would at most be able to draw with Li Shiming if Li Shiming couldn't see the trap.
In that case, he would win this battle.
Call back Wang Gui.
Li Shimin seemed to be thinking of the Great Tang, but Wang Gui had returned to court.
If you don't recall him.
For example, he would offend Xiao Yu and his loyal ministers, and they would question Li Shimin's ability to govern.
Perhaps it was even more threatening than not recalling Wang Gui.
After all, Wang Gui was still alive. There was still a long way to go. If he couldn't get him back this time, it would be fine the next time.
Li Jiancheng seemed to understand Li Yuan's thoughts.
The battle between the two of them should not be a battle between swords and knives at the Black Tortoise Sect.
They were fighting for the interests of the Great Tang.
No matter what choice he made, the Great Tang would always be the most advantageous.
And the person who would benefit the Great Tang the most was naturally the Crown Prince.
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng's respect for Li Yuan increased even more. The little bit of hope he had just had was instantly wiped out.
Li Shiming tapped his fingers on the table. He subconsciously mimicked Li Yuan's actions, then raised his eyes to meet everyone's gaze and said with a smile,"Minister Xiao, since you've already affirmed Wang Gui's intelligence, I'm sure you'll be able to do it.”
"Then this king has no objections. If Wang Gui has the ability to control the Ministry of Agriculture, then this king will ask His Majesty to issue an edict ordering Wang Gui to return to the capital in a few days.”
Xiao Yu's expression also relaxed a little. He looked at Li Shimin and said,"With these words from the King of Qin, this old minister can rest assured.”
"The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture is a major event. After this old minister left the court, I began to prepare.”
"The earlier it is, the better it will be for the people of the world.”
Li Shimin nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Yu."Thank you, Minister Xiao."
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and left.
Li Shi Min looked at everyone and said,"Do you have anything else to report? If there's nothing else, this king will withdraw.”
Li Shi Min stood up after he finished speaking.
Eunuch Lin shouted with a sharp voice,""Retreat."
All the officials bowed and sent Li Shimin off.
Li Shi Min walked to the side hall and felt his legs go weak. It was Eunuch Lin's quick reflexes that helped Li Shi Min up so he didn't make a fool of himself.
Li Shi Min looked at Eunuch Lin and said gratefully,""Thank you."
Eunuch Lin began to help Li Shi Min change his clothes and said,""Your Highness, this is what this old servant should do. His Majesty asked this old servant to tell you.”
"After the court is dismissed, he wants you to wait outside his hall.”
"If the King of Qin has no other arrangements, then follow this old servant.”
Li Shi Min was stunned, but he didn't dare to delay. He immediately changed into his official robe and followed Eunuch Lin.
Her legs had gone soft when she was in court just now.
It was just that he had relaxed under that kind of huge pressure. With his martial arts and physical strength, the time to change his clothes had been reduced a lot.
He did not dare to delay Li Yuan's orders.
However, as soon as he arrived outside Li Yuan's bedroom, he saw Li Jiancheng already waiting there. Li Jiancheng heard the footsteps and looked at Li Shimin with a smile,"Second brother, you're here."
Li Shi Min also called him big brother and stood beside him.
Eunuch Lin walked to the front door of the hall and knocked lightly. Then, he slowly pushed the door open and walked out.
Meanwhile, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were still standing on the steps outside the hall.
Li Shiming, who had been acting like a king just a moment ago, was now like a child who had made a mistake. He was being punished and did not dare to complain at all.
Li Jiancheng was the same. He looked at Li Shiming and said in a low voice,"Shi Min, do you know why Imperial Father asked us to come here?”
"I don't know." Li Shiming shook his head slightly and said,"Eunuch Lin asked me to come."“
Li Jiancheng blinked and thought of what happened in the morning court."Shimin, you weren't angry when I suggested Wang Gui return to the capital, right?”
"After all, Yang Wengan was indeed guilty in the first place.”
Li Shimin smiled when he heard Li Jiancheng's words,""Big Brother is speaking for the Great Tang.”
"Moreover, this Agriculture Department is something that Imperial Father personally instructed me to do, so I naturally wouldn't dare to be careless.”
" The ability of the Grand Secretary Wang is recognized by all the officials in the court. Two years of exile is already a waste. Now that he has returned to Chang 'an, he can serve his father better.”
Li Jiancheng patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said,""It's good that you're not angry. I was worried that you were a little unhappy just now. I'm going to the border in two days.”
"You also know that I have ignored the war in the court for many years.”
"Do you have any experience to tell me? I heard that you fought with that Jie Li Khan several times. I wonder what kind of person he is.”
Li Jiancheng's first few words were still teasing.
Towards the end, he asked seriously.
Even Li Shimin and Li Jing did not dare to underestimate Jieli Khan, and now that his army far surpassed the Great Tang, he naturally did not dare to underestimate it either. Otherwise, he would truly be defeated.
Li Shi Min did have a lot of authority over the Jie Li Khan. He looked at Li Jiancheng and said,"Big brother, this Jie Li Khagan is naturally suspicious, and he's a little timid in his bones.”
"I've fought him several times. If he didn't have the advantage in numbers, he wouldn't have dared to fight me.”
"Moreover, when I set up an ambush or ordered people to lure him, he wasn't greedy. This is what makes him different from the other Turkic generals.”
"He is obviously very greedy, but he is able to resist when faced with a huge temptation. This might cause him to lose many opportunities, but when two armies are fighting, this is a very valuable quality.”
"Even if he is an enemy, I have to admit this.”
Li Jiancheng's face turned serious as he listened to Li Shiming.
Clearly, his understanding of Jie Li Khan was completely different from what Li Shi Min had said. The news was probably fabricated.
If the people of the Great Tang didn't understand the Turks, they would find it very real.
If he hadn't heard Li Shi Min's words, he would have suffered a great loss. He had also made up his mind to ask Li Jing for his opinion after he left.
However, he had no intention of taking advantage of her in return.
Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said,"Shimin, if you hadn't told me, I'm afraid my impression of Jie Li Khan would still be that kind of brutal Turkic."”
"However, the Great Tang will definitely begin to mobilize its soldiers for my trip to the border city.”
"As you oversee the court, you have to coordinate the supply of troops, grain, and even cotton clothes. I have written a single book about this before.”
"If you don't mind, I'll order someone to send it to your residence later. If you think it's okay, you can take a look.”
Li Jiancheng said lightly.
Li Shi Min swallowed his saliva. He had thought that he was invincible and that it was mostly his credit.
He understood that war was simple.
However, a soldier's warhorse, armor, food, and warhorse's food were as precious as humans. It was not just a handful of hay.
There was also salt, coal, cotton clothes, and coordinating with the doctors to avoid diseases such as malaria. In the war, there were a few mistakes.
It would lead to defeat.
At first, he had thought that these things were only natural, but now he understood that these things were complicated and not as simple as fighting a war.
Li Shiming also cupped his hands and looked at Li Jiancheng,"Big brother, I've long heard of the book you wrote. If I'm lucky enough to read it, I'll definitely treasure it.”
"Shi Min thanks big brother, this will save me a lot of effort.”
Li Jiancheng nodded slightly."It's nothing. The most important thing right now is defeating the Turkic army of two hundred thousand. Everything else can be put aside."”
Li Shi Min also nodded and said,"Yes, 200,000 troops are unstoppable."”
