In the Imperial Palace.
In the royal study.
Li Shimin did not even have time to change his clothes when he returned to the palace.
Cheng Yaojin, who was waiting at the side, looked confused.
He had never seen Li Shi Min like this before.
It must be something big.
Li Shi Min calmed himself down after sitting down.
Tell me why.
Cheng Yaojin shouted in a hoarse voice,"Really? Your Majesty, where did you hear the news?"
"Will Xue Yantuo really rebel?"
Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin.
"I have my own sources of information. What you need to do is to investigate the authenticity of this matter and not make any mistakes.”
"You have to speed up. Zhen wants to hear the report as soon as possible!”
"Your Majesty, please!”
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he hurriedly gathered his men.
......
Ten days later.
A fast horse is convenient for Chang 'an City.
The soldier on the horse was in a sorry state as he raised the Lu Public House token.
"Quickly open the city gates, no one is allowed to stop you!”
Who could afford to provoke the devil king Cheng Yaojin?
Once his temper flared up, he even dared to not give face to the Emperor.
The guards guarding the city didn't dare to ask.
They welcomed them as quickly as possible.
The warhorses galloped along the street, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was pacing back and forth in the residence.
He was still cursing non-stop.
"Did these little brats die on the road?”
"It's been a few days and there's still no news. I'm the most active when I eat!”
Cheng Yaojin was muttering to himself and waved his hand." No, I still have to go outside the city gate to take a look."”
At this moment.
A soldier holding a scroll stumbled in.
Before he could stand firm, he bumped into Cheng Yaojin and fell to the ground with a thud.
Before he could speak.
Cheng Yaojin pulled him up like a little chick.
He took the scroll from his hand.
It spread out.
"Good!"
Cheng Yaojin excitedly slapped the soldier's shoulder, almost sending him back to the ground. "Bring the brothers to receive the rewards. All of them will be heavily rewarded!”
At this time, Li Shiming was frowning in the study.
Zhangsun Wuji also had a worried expression on his face.
Recently, he had been listening to Li Shi Min's story about Lin Fan.
He felt his scalp go numb.
? If he hadn't seen how amazing Lin Fan was, he would have suspected that Li Shi Min was joking with him.
Not to mention anything else, just based on that seven-character poem.
Zhangsun Wuji admitted that he couldn't write it.
"Wuji, do you think this matter will succeed?”
Li Shi Min suddenly said.
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and said hesitantly,""Your Majesty, I feel that as long as we can prove that Xue Yantuo has the intention to rebel, Lin Fan's plan will work!”
Li Shi Min nodded.
He thought so himself, but the report from this border pass had not yet arrived in Shangjing.
He didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty, Duke Lu requests an audience." The guard's voice came from outside the door.
Li Shiming slammed the memorial in his hand shut.
Clang!
The door was pushed open from the outside.
The guards behind him were dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to stop him or not.
Li Shi Min waved his hand and dismissed them.
Cheng Yaojin took three steps forward and said excitedly,""Your Majesty, look!"
Li Shi Min took the scroll and opened it with both hands.
"Jie Li Khan was cruel and tyrannical. Xue Yantuo's leader Yi Nan joined forces with the nearby nine families, Tiele, Huihe and other tribes to resist.”
Li Shimin read it word by word several times, his hands trembling with excitement.
He handed the scroll to Zhangsun Wuji.
"This matter hasn't been leaked, right?”
Cheng Yaojin patted his chest." Don't worry, Your Majesty."”
Zhangsun Wuji was equally shocked when he saw it.
This Lin Fan was really godly!
Being in Chang 'an, he actually knew what was going on thousands of miles away.
What he said was exactly the same.
This is a god!
Li Shi Min swept his gaze across the crowd and stood proudly." From today onwards, I confer Yi Nan the title of Pearl Pijia Khan and establish the Xue Yan Tuo Khaganate!”
"Zhangsun Wuji, listen up!"
"Your subject is here."
"I order you to send someone to deliver the edict safely. Remember not to leak any information to avoid alerting the enemy!”
"I accept your decree."
Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands, unable to hold it in any longer.
"Your Majesty, when should we start? An is willing to personally lead troops to battle!"
"There's no hurry to raise an army." Li Shi Min waved his hand.
When Cheng Yaojin heard that, the smile on his face disappeared.
She raised her voice and glared at him.
"What do you mean? If we don't fight now, when will we?"
Li Shi Min clenched his fist and placed it against his lips, coughing lightly.
Zhangsun Wuji saw this and went forward to pull Cheng Yaojin.
"Tuli and Jie are constantly fighting amongst themselves. If we rashly send out our troops, with a great enemy in front of us, the two of them will definitely unite against the outside world.”
"At that time, our Great Tang soldiers will suffer heavy casualties!”
"Now that we have Xue Yantuo on our side, we only need to wait for them to break out in internal strife and for Xue Yantuo to send troops to disrupt the situation.”
"At that time, we can send troops to sit and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. Wouldn't that be beautiful?”
Cheng Yaojin was stunned by Zhangsun Wuji's words.
It took him a long time to understand.
He slapped his thigh.
"Lord Zhangsun, what a brilliant plan!"
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said,"This is what His Majesty wants."”
Li Shi Min put his hands behind his back and sighed.
"The Turkic brat insulted us Han people. It's time to wash away the shame.”
"I will make them pay with blood!”
......
Outside the palace.
Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji had just left the palace.
"Lord Zhangsun, please wait." Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"What is it, Duke Lu?"
Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a long time before finally waving his hand and saying,""I won't beat around the bush with you. What's the situation with the tavern that His Majesty always goes to?”
"Is it really that delicious? Even His Majesty is unable to forget it?"
Seeing this,
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled." If Duke Lu is curious, I'll go with Your Majesty next time to find out the secret."”
"It's not that the dishes are delicious, but that the wine is delicious.”
With that, Zhangsun Wuji returned to the sedan chair with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and face as he looked at the sedan chair that was getting further and further away.
He didn't understand what it meant for a long time.
"Wait a minute! Make it clear, I don't want to chat with you guys. I don't know how to talk properly!”
"What wine is this!"
