The next day.
Purple Mansion Hall.
The sound of hanging thighs, the sound of rites and music, and the horn of longevity eulogized the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It was a brand new day, and all the officials came to court early as usual.
But what was different from the past was that the King of Wei had returned!
Li Tai stood in front of the ministers, on the same level as Fang Xuanling and the others. His back was facing the ministers, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
However, from the moment he entered the door until now.
No one dared to take the initiative to speak to the King of Wei.
Before Li Tai went to Mount Yin, his future was bright.
But because of their urging, Li Tai gave up Yin Mountain and went straight to Luoyang.
However, no one expected this.
In the end, Taizong actually let Li Ke lead the army!
This sudden change instantly put Li Tai in an awkward position.
As a result, the Yin Mountains were not well, and they could not go to Youzhou.
He returned empty-handed.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment before looking at Li Tai and sighing.
"Your Highness, this matter…I have dragged you down.”
Fang Xuanling's words attracted the attention of the other ministers.
Indeed, if they hadn't made the decision, Li Tai would never have returned empty-handed.
Li Tai's eyes narrowed as he turned around with a smile.
"Prime Minister, what are you saying?"
"How can I be a burden? This king is able to have today all because of your help.”
"This time was just a small accident. Moreover, it might not be a bad thing for my imperial brother to be in command.”
"To him, it's also a good experience.”
The ministers were surprised.
Not only did the King of Wei not blame them, but he even thought for the King of Shu.
The ministers began to admire the King of Wei's magnanimity.
No wonder the King of Wei was Taizong's most favored prince. His conduct made even the old generals feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling was relieved and nodded.
It could be said that Li Tai had won the favor of the ministers with just these few words.
Not long after, Emperor Taizong, dressed in a dragon robe, walked out, and the ministers all fell silent.
Li Shi Min seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as he sat on the throne, he smiled and said,
"Dear ministers, I have good news to announce today.”
With that, he took out a secret letter and handed it to the eunuch.
Just as the ministers were curious, the eunuch opened the secret letter and began to read it out in a thin voice.
"Li Jing, the general of Youzhou, reports to Your Majesty.”
"The first battle at Youzhou has been won, and the Goguryeon army of one hundred thousand has been repelled.”
"His Highness the King of Shu has made great contributions. He ordered General Cheng Chumo to kill the disciple of Goguryeon Grandmaster Fu Cailin and rouse the entire army!”
"Peace, Your Majesty."
After the eunuch finished reading, he quietly put the secret letter back and waited at the side.
The officials below were already boiling over.
"Cheng Chumo? He killed Fu Cailin's disciple?"
"The King of Shu deserves the greatest credit…So it's the King of Shu's merit?”
"His Highness the King of Shu has such talent!”
"That's amazing!"
……
The ministers discussed animatedly.
He was truly stunned by the King of Shu.
Who was Fu Cailin?
A Goguryeon martial grandmaster!
His status was on par with the number one player in the Chinese server, Ning Daoqi!
Would his disciple be an ordinary person? Obviously not.
The fact that Cheng Chumo was able to kill him could be described as a divine weapon!
The one who was most shocked was Cheng Chumo's father, Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin rubbed his stomach and thought, When did my son become so powerful? It seemed that His Highness the King of Shu had commanded well.
Li Tai smiled and was the first to come out to congratulate him.
"Imperial Brother's achievements are truly the fortune of our Great Tang!”
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others were also very gratified and congratulated him.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to His Highness the King of Shu.”
After everyone congratulated him, Li Shimin felt even more proud of Li Ke.
But at this moment, Minister Hou Junji suddenly stood up and asked in confusion,
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu suddenly attacked Fu Cailin's disciple and made a great achievement.”
"But this Fu Cailin is a Jianghu person, why would he follow the army to attack Tang Guan? Could it be that they are here for someone?"
Hou Junji's words were a bit hazy.
But thinking about it, the first half of his sentence mentioned the King of Shu, and the second half mentioned the Jianghu people. The meaning was self-evident.
The officials muttered to themselves. Hou Junji was still brooding over this.
Compared to His Highness the King of Wei, this kind of magnanimity was like heaven and earth.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, frowned.
Hou Junji's words suddenly reminded him of the Heavenly Demon Tower.
At that time, the five-thousand-odd demonic sect disciples had also died mysteriously, just like Fu Cailin's disciples…
Li Shi Min shook his head slightly and threw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
"Your Majesty, even though we've won the first battle at Youzhou, the Goguryeon army cannot be underestimated." Grand Marshal Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward.”
"Once upon a time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty used a million soldiers to conquer Goguryeo three times, but all of them ended in failure.”
"This tough bone can't be gnawed down with just one victory. It still needs to be slowly broken down.”
"I implore Your Majesty to inform the King of Shu to strictly guard Youzhou and not underestimate the enemy!”
As the number one official of the dynasty, Zhangsun Wuji was knowledgeable and had a comprehensive plan.
Li Shi Min agreed with this point. Goguryeo was only a tiny place, and it was only natural that it had its own unique traits to be able to dominate the chaotic world.
Li Shiming had already made plans for a long campaign, with Youzhou as the center to weaken Goguryeo's strength.
Until he completely conquered it!
