Li Shi Min's roar came from the Political Announcement Hall.
"Calm down, calm down. Chang 'an is almost gone. How do you want me to calm down?”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling raised their heads in tacit understanding." Your Majesty, General Yuchi is guarding the Wei River. It won't be easy for the Turkic army to cross the Wei River.”
The latter also remonstrated." Lord Zhangsun is right. Chang 'an still has 8,000 black-armored soldiers. All of them are guarding Chang' an at each city gate.”
Not to mention Li Shiming, even they themselves felt uncertain about this, because this was the only reasonable reason.
"Imperial Father, your son thinks that if we send out soldiers who can fight, we can rely on the natural barrier to stop the Turks at the Wei River. Even if we can't win, we should at least delay them for a few days until reinforcements arrive."”
"Your Highness, you can't do this. The Turks outnumber the Great Tang by three times, and even with their geographical advantage, three days is the limit."”
"Besides, if we mobilize all the troops, what about His Majesty's safety?”
Li Shi Min was very hesitant about this suggestion, he didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that I don't know if I should say it or not," said Senior Pei Ji slowly.”
Pei Ji had followed Li Yuan to conquer the world and was the first Prime Minister of the Great Tang.
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up as he urged,"If you have any suggestions, as long as it can solve the current crisis, it doesn't matter.”
Pei Ji said solemnly," Move the capital!”
Li Shi Min immediately fell silent.
The ministers were all silent out of fear. If this suggestion was carried out, the Great Tang would be humiliated.
Half a month after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was actually forced to move the capital by foreign enemies.
Where was his face?
Just as the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point, a notification came from outside.
"Yi Nation Duke Qin Qiong pays his respects…"
Immediately after, Qin Qiong strode to the front of the hall and knelt down to pay his respects." Greetings, Your Majesty. I just received Lord Li Jing's message and has already led a 100,000-strong army to reinforce!”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min was overjoyed and quickly said,"My dear minister, quickly get up. Where is Li Jing now?”
" We must reach Chang 'an within three days!"
"Three days…"
Halfway through his sentence, Li Shi Min fell silent again.
Given the current situation, it would be difficult for them to defend Weishui River tomorrow.
The officials were relieved when they heard that reinforcements were coming, but this time, their hearts were on tenterhooks again.
"What should we do?"
Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, fell into deep thought.
It was absolutely impossible to move the capital. If he moved the capital, where would the emperor's face be? Where was his dignity?
But if they didn't retreat, they would have to face the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers.
He was completely caught in a dilemma.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian stood out and said in a clear voice,""Father, your son is willing to lead the troops to reinforce the Wei River. I will definitely hold on until the reinforcements arrive!”
"I'm also willing to go with the Crown Prince!" Qin Qiong said.”
Many generals stood out and requested to go to the Wei River.
Li Shiming's face was calm, but the gratification in his voice could still be heard." Alright, I will order the Crown Prince and my beloved ministers to lead 4,000 black-armored soldiers and 6,000 Chang 'an defenders to guard the Wei River. The future of the Tang Empire will be handed over to my beloved ministers.”
"Your son (your subject) will obey!"
The dragon was overjoyed, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
To the Crown Prince and the other ministers, this was a chance. As long as they could hold on until reinforcements arrived, they could defeat the Turks.
Then they would be considered the founding fathers of the country, and even Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince would be more stable.
Suddenly, Li Shi Min found an empty seat and asked coldly,""Where is Prince Ning?"
No one answered for a long time.
King Qi Li You said with a trembling voice,"Reporting to Imperial Father, we haven't found Imperial Brother.”
Li Shi Min was a little dissatisfied. At such an important time, his son didn't even come to help him.
Soon, the officials left the Hall of Political Announcement.
Those who returned to their residences returned to their residences, and those who went out to battle prepared to go out to battle.
Li Shi Min ordered the chief eunuch,""Get someone to investigate what Prince Ning did today.”
“嗻。”
…………
After leading Dian Wei and Xu Chu out of the Illusion Music Workshop, Li Ruizhen's reek of alcohol dissipated." It's Zi Lan Xuan's turn tonight."”
Violet Orchid Pavilion.
Three years ago, it appeared in the dance studio in Chang 'an and became one of the top places in a short time.
Especially at night, many high-ranking officials and nobles would come.
Li Rui still didn't restrain himself. He threw down a bag of gold." Where's Miss Purple Girl? Why haven't you come out to welcome me?"”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman in purple clothes and purple hair came down from upstairs. She was graceful and graceful.
It was Violet Lady, the owner of Violet Orchid Veranda.
"Purple Girl greets Your Highness Ning Wang. The private room is ready."”
Li Rui nodded and walked upstairs under the envious gazes.
The quiet atmosphere on the first floor was once again noisy.
A rich merchant who was drunk was extremely jealous." Who is so grand that Miss Violet Girl has to personally welcome him?”
"Shh! That's His Highness Prince Ning!"
" The one who booked the entire Happy Red Courtyard at eleven…"
"Shut up!"
The merchant was halfway through his sentence when his friend covered his mouth.
However, Li Rui's hearing was still very clear.
He was really speechless.
Before he transmigrated, Li Rui was a proper playboy. An eleven-year-old kid booked the largest brothel in Chang 'an at that time.
He had become a joke in Chang 'an. Even Li Yuan, who doted on him, had grounded him for three months.
But now, Li Rui had to take the blame himself.
The Violet Maiden's charming eyes darkened slightly as she turned around and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
After they went upstairs, the blabbermouth wealthy businessman was thrown out.
In the best private room in Purple Orchid Pavilion, Violet Maiden personally poured tea for Li Rui.
"Master, there's an insider news. The person from the palace sent someone to investigate your whereabouts today.”
Violet Maiden, Li Rui's subordinate, one of the founders of Quicksand.
He operated the Purple Orchid Pavilion in Chang 'an City, using the name of a brothel to hide his identity. In fact, he controlled all the intelligence networks in Chang' an City.
Li Rui shook his head and laughed." They actually sent bad people to investigate me."”
Violet Maiden covered her mouth and laughed." The Graywolf King is now the second-in-command of the bad guys. Master can control the bad guys at any time."”
After saying that, he slowly walked behind Li Rui and gently massaged his shoulders.
The Graywolf King was ranked third among the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand.
In just three years, he had gained the trust of the bad commander and became the second-in-command with his strength.
Creak.
A man and a woman pushed open the door and walked in.
There was no need to knock on the door because Li Rui had sensed it the moment they appeared.
"Greetings, Master!"
The man was dressed in white and had a refined temperament. The woman wore a simple and elegant long dress, and her face was gentle.
They were Bai Feng, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand, and Zither Nongyu, the top actress of Violet Orchid Pavilion.
Glancing at the two of them, Li Rui was well aware of the plot between them, but he did not point it out.
"No need to be so polite, Bai Feng. How's the matter I asked you to do?"”
Hearing the question, Bai Feng smiled confidently and promised,""Master, don't worry. The hundred thousand men of sacrifice are ready. We'll launch an all-out attack on the Turks at midnight.”
"We must bring back Jie Li Khan's head to Master!”
