"Winter has entered the grassland early, and the grassland has been covered with heavy snow. The livestock froze to death and starved to death. In order to cope with the shortage of food, the Turkic Jieli Khan convened the leaders of the eighteen grassland tribes to discuss plundering the border. There will be action within the month, Baiqi Si Fan Xing!"
When all the ministers saw the secret report from Baiqisi from the grassland, they were all shocked!
Even Li Shimin is like this!
Although Li Shimin trusted Li You extremely, he had no conclusive evidence!
Now that the evidence is in front of my eyes, I am naturally shocked!
"You'er really didn't lie to me!" Li Shimin murmured in a low voice, "Fortunately, You'er reminded me, otherwise it would be too late by the time the Turkic army takes action!"
"What did your Majesty just say?"
Changsun Wuji was closest to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's voice was too low and he didn't hear it clearly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Shimin quickly waved his hand.
By this time, all the ministers had recovered from the shock.
"Your Majesty's prediction is so accurate! I never thought that the Turks would be so treacherous!" Fang Xuanling said with a cupped hand: "Now that we know that the Turks are very likely to invade our country, we must take action immediately and make careful arrangements. The Battle of the Weishui cannot be allowed to happen again!"
"Your Majesty! Give me an army of 100,000 men for Old Cheng. As long as the Turks come here, I will make sure he never comes back!" Cheng Zhijie said loudly.
"I, Wei Chi, respectfully wish to be the vanguard!"
"Ahem, my minister Qin Qiong applied to fight!"
"The Turkic army is at its peak, but our Tang Dynasty has been in war for many years, and the national and people's strength has not been restored. There are still many rebels in the country who have not been surrendered, and there is no way to spare excess troops!" As the Minister of War, Du Ruhui said to him The current military strength of the Tang Dynasty is best understood.
"Your Majesty! Holy Ming! Let us know in advance that the Turks have the intention to invade! However, how to solve this crisis is a huge problem!"
Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty has discussed with us in the previous court meeting that now is not the best time to deal with the Turks. If we forcefully accept the challenge, I am afraid that we will still suffer the most serious losses in the end! I even suspect that the Turks want to attract I, the main force of the Tang Dynasty, will fight in a decisive battle and eat them all in one go!"
Cheng Zhijie said angrily: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Are we just going to watch the border areas being plundered by Turks, and the people on the border areas falling into dire straits?"
Changsun Wuji: "We must protect the safety of the people on the border no matter what! If the Tang Dynasty can't even protect its own people, then how can we talk about creating a prosperous age! Maybe the people will riot when they see the court's inaction, and things will get worse by then. Bigger!”
Li Shimin stood on the edge with his hands behind his back, but he remained silent, smiling as he watched the ministers discuss.
The attentive Qin Qiong noticed Li Shimin's expression and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Seeing that you are so calm and calm, can it be said that you already have a plan to deal with it?"
Other ministers also reacted and looked at Li Shimin one after another.
"Your Majesty, I have been confused in my heart and want to ask Your Majesty for advice." Du Ruhui asked, cupping his hands.
"Keming, if you have something to say, just say it. We, the monarchs and ministers, don't have to be so polite before!" Li Shimin felt that he was about to make a brilliant debut, waved his hand and said boldly.
"Your Majesty! I remember that when you discussed the situation of the Turks with me a few days ago, you were still very determined that the Turks would not take action in the short term. However, in just a few days, you changed your mind and concluded that the Turks were about to invade!"
"I would like to know how your Majesty learned about all this?"
Du Ruhui asked this question, which was also what the other ministers wanted to ask, and they all looked at Li Shimin!
Everyone is very curious as to why Li Shimin has become so powerful recently!
Although they knew that Li Shimin was one of the best in the military in the entire Tang Dynasty, being able to predict the Turks' actions in advance was beyond the scope of an outstanding military strategist!
Li Shimin smiled slightly.
Faced with the inquiries of the ministers, he certainly could not say that he had obtained a copy of Li You's diary and could hear Li You's thoughts with the copy of the diary!
After thinking about it, Li Shimin decided to make it up at will.
"Ahem, recently I got to know an unparalleled genius. He is not only resourceful but also knowledgeable! This person can see the sky and predict floods, and he can predict the fate of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I had a great time chatting with him and benefited a lot from him. However, this person is not far away from becoming an official, so I can only recognize him as my teacher and ask for advice on everything!"
"During this period, the heavy rains near Chang'an, the suppression of Hu Shice, and the current Turkic invasion were all told to me by this person!"
Hiss~
Hiss~
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others suddenly took a breath of cold air!
I was secretly shocked that there was such a person in Chang'an City?
But they didn’t hear even a hint of wind!!
Changsun Wuji immediately praised: "If this is true, this talent must be a person who has learned from the past and understood the present, and has made plans for the ages. He has a talent that knows the world! It is not an exaggeration to call him an emperor's teacher!"
Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "He is indeed worthy of the title of Imperial Master!"
Li Shimin indeed gained a lot from Li You!
The value of these things is definitely worthy of the title of Imperial Master, but my son is his own teacher. This... always feels obedient, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, Changsun Wuji and the others don't know who the Imperial Master is, so they just brag about it. Well, according to Li You, this is just building a vest and creating a personality for the vest.
Du Ruhui once again raised his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder where this imperial master is now? Can I have the honor to pay you a visit?"
Li Shimin waved his hand quickly, "The Imperial Master doesn't like to meet strangers, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by others, so you should not go."
What if he really told these ministers that the imperial master he was talking about was the incompetent King Yan Li You in their eyes!
These ministers will be shocked instantly!
"Okay, that's the end of this matter. The Emperor's Master is not something you can just meet if you want. Don't even think about asking in private. If I find out, the consequences... humph..." Li Shimin looked at the surrounding ministers with a threatening look, "If the time comes, the Imperial Master will naturally meet you."
Faced with Li Shimin's threat, the ministers naturally did not dare to disobey, but they were murmuring in their hearts!
Hearing Li Shimin's praise of this imperial master, all the ministers felt that this imperial master hidden behind Li Shimin must be very powerful!
Whether it is civil servants such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, or military generals such as Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, and Yuchi Gong, they are all talented people in the world. When they meet a great talent who is countless times more powerful than them, they naturally want to fight with them. See the previous one.
However, His Majesty seemed unwilling to introduce them to him, so they had no choice but to suppress this idea for the time being.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Didn't Qin Qiong just ask me if I have any countermeasures? Not to mention, I really learned the countermeasures from the emperor's master!"
