At this time, Li Shimin was sitting on the main seat, with everyone standing below.
After he returned to the government yesterday, he wanted to go back to Chang'an.
But that train only runs once a day.
When he arrived, the train had already left.
If you want to return to Chang'an, you have to wait until the afternoon of the next day.
Even if he gives an order, no one can do what he wants.
Why?
Because the train is moving, there is no way to send the message to the train to order it to stop.
Moreover, this car is carrying a large amount of Shengtang Group's goods. If they want to leave, they can only leave with the goods, which is even more impossible!
Li Shimin is not a shareholder and has no way to influence the movement of the train.
Therefore, he had to stay in Qingzhou for one more day. Anyway, nothing happened for the time being, and Li Shimin was not so angry anymore.
Just as he was getting up, soldiers came over with important news.
The soldier said:
"Your Majesty, we discovered a large amount of thick smoke rising to the north and east of the land of Penglai. After our investigation, we found that there was a fierce war between Goguryeo and Silla!"
"What!"
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this.
Queen Changsun said at this time: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Isn't it that Goguryeo united with Silla to fight Baekje? How come the battlefield is between Goguryeo and Silla?"
"This is obviously against common sense!" Concubine Yang continued.
As for Li Shimin, he murmured: "Could it be said that someone is helping Baekje? Let Baekje rise up against Goguryeo? Or do they have support?"
I have to say that Li Shimin is still very strong in this area, and he guessed this right away.
Apart from this, there is no other possibility.
But having said that, Baekje is very small, almost one-third the size of Silla.
In terms of population and combat power, it was not as powerful as Silla.
And how dare he directly attack Silla and Goguryeo?
Everything happens for a reason, it must be what he thinks!
But who is this person? Who else has strong military strength besides Datang?
He thought about Li Min, but it felt impossible! After all, he knew about some of the big things Li Min did, and he had everything like the port under his control. Li Min wanted to help them? Impossible!
What about female Tang? This is really possible!
As Empress Changsun said, they want Nu Tang’s help!
…
Li Shimin thought for a while and then said: "Let Yingzhou give me information. I want to see what happened there!"
Yingzhou is right on the border with Goguryeo.
You can certainly quickly observe everything happening in Goguryeo through there.
He needs more detailed information!
"yes!"
Now someone is going to do it.
At this time, Xue Rengui came out and said: "Your Majesty, do we want to go and take a look? If Goguryeo wants to harm us, we may be able to respond directly!"
This is the reaction of ordinary people.
He suggested that Li Shimin go and take a look, which would definitely stabilize the morale of the military.
With Li Shimin's appearance, it will definitely be the best.
Otherwise, the people of Qingzhou will definitely know about the war ahead. If they know, the people will be in chaos! The place that has finally developed will start over again!
At this time, Concubine Wang said: "Your Majesty, I think we don't need to go and see it. That's the front line. If there is any danger, who will be responsible for you?"
To put it bluntly, she didn't want Li Shimin to go.
If he goes, everyone must go too!
Your life is at stake at this time!
After all, Li Shimin was also an emperor.
If something goes wrong with him, who is responsible?
However, Queen Changsun had a different view.
She said: "Your Majesty, now the people know that you are in Qingzhou in person. Now that such a big thing has happened here in Qingzhou, I think it cannot be avoided, so I went directly to check it out to give everyone confidence!"
"I think the same thing as my sister!" Concubine Yang continued.
This is for the sake of Li Shimin’s face. It is also for the sake of being responsible to the people!
Moreover, Xue Rengui is still here? What are you afraid of? There are still soldiers from Qingzhou!
After what happened last time, Li Shimin strengthened the troops here. When encountering enemies, they can resist or even destroy them!
And Li Lizhi said.
"Father, you can go there with confidence. Rengui has laid a dragnet in Penglai. If the enemy wants to come to the island, it will be harder than climbing to the sky! And going there will help you know what is happening there!
It’s so easy to respond to developments quickly!”
What she said made sense, and Li Shimin listened.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have also gone to see the Penglai land. Everything you should have is there. Moreover, I think Her Royal Highness the Queen's views are quite right!" Xue Rengui added.
But the Concubine Wang said: "The front line is so dangerous. If Your Majesty goes there, who will be responsible for any mistakes?"
"Wang, if you are afraid, there is no need to go!"
Concubine Yang retorted directly.
You can feel that everyone is trembling when Concubine Wang speaks.
That showed something about what she was worried about.
Concubine Yang's words seemed to hit her point.
She was afraid and did not dare to be with Li Shimin.
Queen Changsun even said: "Actually, Mrs. Wang, you don't have to go. This time, just let me and Concubine Yang accompany your majesty. Just stay in this official residence!"
It's not a question of whether to go or not.
The main reason is that if Li Shimin really goes and something goes wrong, then there will be no guarantee for them to stay in the government.
Take the previous example, Qingzhou was occupied by Japanese pirates for a period of time, and I don’t know how many officials died as a result.
If something goes wrong with Li Shimin, no one will have it easy.
This may be what Wang Guifei is worried about.
As for the other concubines, they didn't feel that way.
Everyone said: "If Your Majesty goes, I should go too!"
"I will also go and support His Majesty!"
Concubine Wang Guifei didn't know what to do.
He was afraid that Queen Changsun had told him right.
There was no rebuttal.
Just stood there and said nothing.
What about Li Shimin?
He seemed to be thinking about what everyone just said.
Finally, he sighed.
"Looking at this situation, I won't be able to go back to Chang'an in a short time! However, now that something like this happens in Qingzhou, I can't leave! So, I have to go to the front line to have a look!"
Li Shimin's decision.
Let everyone call you wise.
This is how you look like an emperor.
But Li Shimin seemed not to have said enough.
He added: "Last time, when I went to Qingzhou, I didn't have anything to fear and just drove away the Japanese pirates. If something happens to Qingzhou again this time, I won't be able to back down!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" everyone said in unison.
Afterwards, Li Shimin became very energetic.
"Okay, Xue Rengui!"
"exist!"
"How many troops can be deployed in the government now?"
"The current available troop strength is 50,000! Hundreds of warships!"
