The Hall of Political Affairs was deathly silent.
Li Shi Min turned around and left the Hall of Political Affairs, with Empress Zhangsun following closely behind.
When the two of them left, it was as if mosquitoes had erupted in the hall.
All the officials gathered in twos and threes and began to discuss.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde, the old officials of the Heavenly Policy Manor, gathered together.
They looked at each other, sighing.
"Damn it."
"Sixth Prince is right."
"How aggrieved! This time, he was really aggrieved! I didn't expect that our Great Tang would have to lower its head in front of the Turks.”
Cheng Yaojin's voice was buzzing as he punched the pillar.
They were generals, and their duty was to fight and protect the Great Tang.
But now, a child was actually going to protect the vast land in their place. They were useless. They really felt extremely useless.
"No marriage alliance, no reparations, no ceding of land, no tribute, the emperor guarding the country gate, the king dying for the country!”
"Phew…I, Fang Xuanling, am truly ashamed of what the Sixth Prince said.”
Fang Xuanling shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Prince Six's words are too beautiful. In all the dynasties, who could do this? To be able to create such a dynasty, how powerful must it be?”
Du Ruhui's expression revealed his yearning.
"The Sixth Prince has such determination at such a young age. If he grows up, he will definitely be of great help to the Great Tang, but…sigh!”Wei Zheng sighed.
"The Sixth Prince's body is weak. Ten years? He has to live in the Turks for ten years.”
Yuchi Jingde was worried.
He smiled bitterly and sat on the ground, leaning against the pillar."I've fought my entire life, and we've fought our entire lives. Isn't it to protect the people of the Great Tang?”
"The Sixth Prince is still a citizen of the Great Tang.”
"But why don't you dare to fight now?”
"In the past, I believe that His Majesty would have fought the Turks to the bitter end without a second word!”
The moment Yuchi Jingde's words came out, the surrounding people all fell silent.
Memories appeared in their minds.
That's right!
What were they afraid of in the past?
Conquering the south and fighting the north!
If anyone was unconvinced, they would be wiped out, but in the face of the Turks, they were so weak?
Were they weaker than before?
No!
They were all dukes now, and their positions were extremely high. They had also become emperors, so their strength should be much stronger than before.
But now, he had to compromise.
In the end, it was because they did not have the heart to advance.
In the end, she actually placed all the responsibility on a child.
The Political Affairs Hall slowly quieted down.
The officials did not leave.
Because later, they had to follow Li Shimin out of the city and send Li Yin to the Turks.
Really, useless!
The crisis in Chang 'an had been resolved.
However, for some reason, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin felt as if there was a huge rock weighing down on their chests.
He couldn't breathe.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
·······
Taiji Palace.
This was the heart of Chang 'an Imperial City. Only emperors could live here.
However, Li Shi Min did not live here.
The master of Taiji Palace was still the first Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Yuan!
Li Yuan slumped on the luxurious bed.
His head was full of silver hair.
Old and decrepit.
After the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, this once-glorious emperor seemed to have aged by more than ten years in just half a year.
A palace maid stood respectfully at the side and told him in detail what had happened in the Political Hall.
Li Yuan's eyes, which were originally as calm as rotten wood, suddenly lit up when he heard the palace maid say," No marriage, no compensation, no ceding of land, no tribute, the emperor guarding the country gate, the king dying for the country."”
Li Yuan waved his hand.
The palace maid left.
"Good child, well said."
"Li Yin, to have such comprehension at such a young age, if he can grow up safely, he will definitely be an extraordinary figure.”
"It's just a pity that I'm going to be killed by the Zhangsun Clan.”
"Hey."
Li Yuan sighed.
Handing a five-year-old child over to the Turks was sending the little fellow to his death.
"Li Shi Min, the emperor of a dynasty doesn't have a deeper understanding of the country than a child.”
"What a good imperial grandson."
Li Yuan closed his eyes. His heart ached.
Although he was no longer the Emperor, this was his grandson, and such an intelligent one at that. He truly couldn't bear to see him die in the Turks.
However, there was nothing he could do now.
He wanted to, but he was powerless!
·········
Time passed quickly.
At noon.
The Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City opened.
There were already many commoners waiting on both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue, and they all craned their necks to see which prince had come to the Turks.
