Chapter 59: Those who are not of my race must have different minds!
"Father, what we eat is hot pot, and it's delicious!"
Princess Ankang said excitedly.
"Father, you will definitely like it if you try it." Princess Xiangcheng also said.
Concubine Yin slapped Li You, "You'er, your father is here, why don't you salute quickly? How can you be so rude?"
But Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to salute. You'er has been working hard recently, so no courtesy or courtesy! Haha."
kindness!?
Li You was stunned for a moment.
[Hey, why is this Li Er suddenly so easy to talk to? 】
[Could it be that you were bribed by just half of our leg-stretching pills? Is it that easy? 】
[Well, no matter what, it seems that Li Er is still very good, keep up the good work. 】
[It’s too troublesome to salute. Aren’t you tired of saluting every day? It’s better to eat two more pieces of fatty beef if you have this time!]
While complaining in his heart, Li You raised his head and gave Li Shimin an approving look, as if to say: Li Er, you are very good, I am very optimistic about you!
Naturally, Li Shimin heard this, his face twitched slightly, and he smiled helplessly.
What's the "Stretching Legs and Staring Eyes" Pill? Isn't it Dahuoluo Pill? Forget it, my gout has been cured, no matter what its name is.
Concubine Yin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have been working hard recently. Please sit down and have something to eat. This hot pot invented by Youer is really novel and tastes very good."
Li Shimin nodded, and then sat next to Li You, "This copper pot is divided into two, one red and one white. It looks like Tai Chi, symbolizing the harmony of yin and yang. It has a profound meaning!"
Concubine Yin: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! I also think this copper pot is not simple, so that's what it is!"
Wang Ling: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Junxian: "After listening to His Majesty's explanation, I suddenly became enlightened!"
Hearing the words of Concubine Yin, Wang Ling and Li Junxian, Li Shimin was very helpful and a smile appeared on his face.
Li You rolled his eyes at Li Shimin.
[Damn it, it’s just a hot pot, and it’s just explained the Yin and Yang Dao. It’s really nonsense.]
[We also have a Jiugongge hot pot. I will replace it next time. I want to see what you can analyze? 】
Ahem.
After hearing Li You's complaints, Li Shimin took a sip of water and almost spit it out.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you were choked?"
Concubine Yin saw that Li Shimin looked a little unhappy and quickly asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm just too happy." Li Shimin waved his hands quickly to avoid embarrassment.
"My Lady Yin, there has been no war at the border between our country and the Turks during this period. The people on the border live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty is naturally very happy." Li Junxian explained from the side.
"I see, then we really should have a good celebration." Concubine Yin nodded and said with a smile.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "As long as the Turks no longer invade our borders with the Tang Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty can develop well. In addition, with the presence of potatoes and other magical things, it won't be long before there is a great harvest, and then our national strength will be complete." Conquer the Turks!"
[Haha! And you want to completely conquer the Turks? The Turks will come soon, plunder the borders, and kidnap tens of thousands of people in our Tang Dynasty to serve as slaves! 】
[If we remember correctly, the Turkic Operation will take place within the next month. The border defense capabilities cannot stop the Turkic army at all, and many important border towns have been breached! 】
[Although the Turks did not penetrate deeply into the Central Plains during this invasion, they caused the displacement of countless border people, tens of thousands of people were kidnapped, their wealth was looted, and the border areas were completely in decline!]
boom!
Li Shimin, who was still complacent at first, was stunned when he heard Li You's inner complaints, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.
Li Shimin was completely stunned!
He just signed the Weishui River Alliance with the Turk Jieli Khan, and he has to pay tribute to the Turks every year. How dare the Turks invade our Tang Dynasty border!!
Wait, didn’t I send Fan Xing, the director of the Baiqi Division, to guard the border? Why didn’t he discover such an important thing?
Or...
Li Shimin looked at Li You, but the suspicious look in his eyes soon disappeared.
Although what Li You said in his heart sounded a little unreliable every time, it was a perfect prediction every time!
Fan Xing is far away in the border area, and the news is blocked. Li Shimin is more willing to believe Li You at this moment!
Originally, he thought that by signing the Weishui River Alliance, he would not have to worry about Turkic invasion in a short period of time. Even if the Turks wanted to invade the Tang Dynasty, they would have to wait for a year, but he never expected that the Turks would be so eager and disobedient. Covenant!
Don't look at it. This invasion was not a full-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty by the Turks, but a plunder of border cities and abduction of the people.
But this is even more dangerous!
Since ancient times, the northern nomads have had the habit of plundering the south. If they are not taken seriously, they will face constant encroachment, and the consequences will be huge. A large number of people will lose their lives in the war, and the number of people who will be kidnapped will be The Tang Dynasty often had to spend a lot of money to redeem them, and the wealth of the border cities was looted. This time, almost double the money was lost... What's more important is that the border areas are not safe. There will be no people to settle there.
Once there are no people, even if they have the best potatoes and farming tools, it will have no effect!
The border city will inevitably be defeated. How will the army be supported by that time? How will the city walls be repaired?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was extremely anxious.
Concubine Yin continued: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the world will have great prosperity in the coming year, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment!"
Under normal circumstances, Li Shimin would have been extremely happy when he heard this, but now that he heard about the Turks' invasion of Xinjiang, he couldn't be happy at all.
[Mother, it’s a little early to congratulate Li Er now. When the news of the Turkic invasion reaches Chang’an, Li Er will probably be furious! 】
[Hey, Li Er still overestimated the Turks and expected them to abide by the covenant. He was really naive. He was not from my race, and his heart must be different. Not to mention that the Turk Jieli Khan was also an ambitious man, and his biggest wish was to join the army. Lord of the Central Plains! If I can take a bite of your flesh, I will definitely not just touch you!】
[Li Er also has problems of his own. He can’t keep calm. He wants to show off when he sees some achievements. 】
[There must be something wrong with the show now. I’m too lazy to say anything more. I just quietly watch you pretending to be cool and then get slapped in the face by yourself. 】
[When the Turks invade, I will watch Li Er jump on his feet.]
Li You kept muttering in his heart.
Li Shimin listened to every word without missing a word.
After hearing this, Li Shimin panicked!
He really wanted to beat up Li You!
This guy knew clearly that the Turks would invade the border, but he deliberately didn't say anything!
That’s not true!
If you really want to take it seriously, this is completely a charge of treason!
But the anger returned, and Li Shimin quickly calmed down his emotions.
During this period, Li You brought him too many shocks!
Therefore, even under such circumstances, Li Shimin is willing to believe in Li You!
Now that he knew that the Turks were going to invade the border, things would be much easier to handle. He also wanted to hear Li You's views on this matter.
