Li Jing took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"explain!"

"Whether Tuyuhun really attacked Liangzhou City or it was a misunderstanding, the Tang Dynasty must warn Tubo that it is best not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will kill him even though he is far away."

"Immediately send an envoy to warn Songtsan Gampo and ask him to withdraw his troops immediately, otherwise the Tang Dynasty's 500,000-strong army will definitely accompany him to the end."

The Minister of Rites immediately bowed and said: "I will send people to Tubo immediately to scold Tibet for its rude behavior."

Li Jing continued: "Tuyuhun is double-dealing. Since the Tang Dynasty has come forward this time, we must not let them off lightly. I believe that the number of war horses can be doubled from the original 30,000 to 60,000."

"

Li Shimin nodded, thinking that this in-law and he would go together.

It must be 60,000 horses. This is the best opportunity to deceive Yuhun. I cannot let the three hundred soldiers die in vain.

"Qing Honglu Temple, you should negotiate according to this. If Tuyuhun does not agree, you will withdraw immediately. I am not prepared to negotiate."

Fang Xuanling then said: "Your Majesty, there are only 20,000 garrison troops in Liangzhou City now. Is the garrison strength a little thin? I think we should send another 20,000 elite troops just in case."

Li Jing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"

Li Daozong, Wei Zheng and others also stood up and said: "I second the proposal."

Li Shimin nodded: "Who do you think is the most suitable person to send?"

Li Daliang is the general who guards Liangzhou. If he sends another person there, he must get along with Li Daliang, otherwise something will easily happen.

Li Jing said: "I think Qin Qiong is the most suitable. General Li Daliang is brave and strategic, and General Qin Qiong is a veteran. The two of them have fought many big and bad battles together. I believe they can handle Liangzhou's military affairs well."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jing, why has this old boy changed? He has become cunning!

A very upright person in the past actually spoke up for Qin Qiong today!

Who doesn't know that Qin Qiong's illness was cured by the medicine given by the King of Shu, and Qin Qiong also had a good relationship with the King of Shu.

Your old boy is also the father-in-law of the King of Shu. This is obviously to gain influence for the King of Shu.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, General Qin is seriously ill and has not been on the battlefield for many years. It is bitterly cold in the northwest. I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the bitter cold in the northwest and will worsen his newly recovered condition...

…”

"At that time, if something unpredictable happens on the border, the general will fall ill..."

"Your Majesty, I do not agree to send Qin Qiong as the general heading to the northwest."

Li Daozong also bowed and stood up. He had a feud with Qin Qiong and had no good impression of the King of Shu, so he said: "I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal..."

Seven or eight people immediately stood up and rejected Li Jing's proposal.

Li Jing was shocked. He just tried it out, but he didn't expect so many people to reject his proposal. It seemed that the popularity of the virtuous son-in-law was really bad.

Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong, there is nothing I can do.

Those who are in court today are all civil servants, so who to send can only be decided by these civil servants.

Li Shimin also didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so big.

"This matter is put aside for further discussion."

"I asked Uncle Bao to come and ask his opinion."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

The prince's heart was also tight. His father was already leaning towards Qin Qiong. If he was leaning towards Qin Qiong, he was leaning towards his third brother.

Everyone also understood that His Majesty had already chosen Qin Qiong in his heart.

"Li Aiqing, you first prepare food and fodder for the 20,000-strong army and go ahead. Once the leader is finalized, let him set off for Liangzhou immediately."

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

Li Jing felt relieved. It seemed that His Majesty agreed to his proposal.

"Everyone, the situation in the northwest changes every day, so start preparing now!"

"I'll take my leave."

Li Shimin stood up and walked towards the resting area at the back, and the ministers also left.

Li Shimin had to choose a general who was close to the King of Shu, and he was about to send Li Ke to Longxi to deal with the border smuggling problem.

As for the smuggling problem, it seems that there are several powerful people, so Li Shimin is not at ease if Li Ke goes alone. He is afraid that Li Ke will not handle it well and will be killed instead.

Therefore, sending Qin Qiong, who is close to Li Ke, is the best choice.

After all, Qin Qiong is relatively stable and cautious, which can make up for Li Ke's impatience. After all, Li Ke is too young.

Changsun Wuji and Prince Li Chengqian walked out of the hall side by side.

The two of them walked like this without speaking.

After a long time, Li Chengqian finally called him uncle.

"Hey, Prince, why can't you calm down? You shouldn't talk about Nancheng today."

Li Chengqian frowned and asked: "Why can't I say it? I am the prince and I have obligations and responsibilities. There are places like hell at the feet of the emperor. Going further, aren't the people of the Tang Dynasty living in dire straits?

"

"The time is such a thing, the reason is such a thing, but can you solve this problem?"

"I haven't thought of it yet." Li Chengqian said.

"No matter where in this world there is heaven, there must be hell."

"Those kinds of places cannot be cured. As long as people have desires, those kinds of places will exist."

Li Chengqian also sighed and asked: "Is there any way, uncle? If I can provide you with strategies, my father will be able to take me seriously."

"Uncle, you also saw today that my father is partial to his third brother."

"Qin Qiong is a good friend of his third brother. He didn't say it openly, but he was already sure in his heart that the person leading the army is Qin Qiong."

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji was also helpless.

Although he has entered the imperial court now, His Majesty no longer uses him in any important terms.

"Your Highness, do you know that in the next step, Your Majesty will send the King of Shu to Longxi to quell the smuggling problem at the border?"

"Um?"

Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji. He really didn't know about this and had no way of knowing. He had been banned from the East Palace before!

"I also heard about it from the queen."

"However, if this matter is done well, the King of Shu is considered to be capable, but if this matter is messed up, the King of Shu will be in trouble."

"Your Highness, please stop taking any action now and concentrate on studying in the East Palace. Do whatever His Majesty wants you to do. This is the best."

"Move closer to His Majesty..."

"Yes, my nephew listens to his uncle."

"It's just that my nephew is very confused. Can the third brother mess up the border issue? As long as those smugglers are caught and given severe punishment, they will not dare to do it."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

"Prince, you underestimate the situation in the northwest and who are the smugglers at the border. But those people are not chickens, let alone monkeys. They are the wealthy nobles who are supporting us."

hiss!

Li Chengqian took a breath of cold air.

"They...they dare to do this? They are not afraid that their father will confiscate their homes and destroy their ancestors. This is a serious crime of treason."

"Hahaha, if they were afraid, they wouldn't do it."

"Your Majesty asked the King of Shu to kill the Zheng family in Xingyang. Those people were afraid that they would follow the same path as the Zheng family in Xingyang, and they have already begun to make plans."

"this……"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "But what are you afraid of, Prince? With your uncle here and the entire Guanlong family supporting you, those wealthy families don't want the King of Shu to come to power and kill them."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, this is the truth!

However, he was still convinced that these people were traitors to the country and their crime was unforgivable.
