Li Shimin was silent for a moment and did not continue the topic.

He asked Shen Lian: "You have come back from Nanzhao. How is the situation in Nanzhao?"

Shen Lian said: "Your Majesty, the alliance army has been victorious. When I returned, they had pushed through nearly half of Nanzhao's territory."

"Nanzhao is completely unable to resist the alliance army."

"So, no surprise, the alliance army will definitely win this battle."

"And this battle has also made the alliance army feel emotional. In the future, this alliance of countries will be more stable, and my position in the Tang Dynasty will also be more stable!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

He showed a smile and said, "This is the best news so far."

Shen Lian also laughed and said, "Yes, this is indeed something worth being happy about."

"After this battle, the Tang Dynasty's position among the countries has been completely stabilized."

"And with the status of the alliance of nations, Datang has truly become the most powerful superpower in the world!"

"It is definitely not a dream for all nations to come to the DPRK in the future."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up after listening to Shen Lian's words.

His greatest hope in this life is to make the Tang Dynasty have the magnificent scene of all nations coming to court!

If these things can happen, then he can be sure that he will leave a mark in the history books.

This is something that emperors of all dynasties, even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, could not do!

And he did it!

This political achievement is enough for him to make up for the stain of the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the history books!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally felt much better.

The sadness caused by Li Yuanchang's betrayal finally felt better.

He looked at Shen Lian and smiled even more: "You kid, you always surprise me all of a sudden. I don't even know what to say about you."

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Isn't your Majesty happy?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Of course I am happy. You have done so much for me, how can I not be happy?"

He looked at Shen Lian and said: "This is a great achievement. I don't know how to reward you. What reward do you want? I promise you that no matter what reward you are, I will satisfy you."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "I am very satisfied with the current situation."

"Your Majesty trusted me and allowed me to become the Duke of the Tang Dynasty at such a young age. No matter what case I handle, Your Majesty will spare no effort to believe in me and support me."

"All this moved me very much."

"As the saying goes, if you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman, so I don't ask for any reward."

Shen Lian's words were not polite.

But he really doesn't want any reward.

He also had his own personal purpose in going to Nanzhao.

Li Shimin was already very kind to him.

Not only did he make an exception to make him the Duke of the Tang Dynasty and give him enough trust, but he also gave her perhaps his most precious daughter.

Moreover, when Shen Lian was a child, Li Shimin secretly took good care of him.

For Shen Lian, these are all things that Shen Lian needs to remember.

Shen Lian considers himself not a kind person, but he is also a contented and grateful person.

Li Shimin has been very good to him, so he will naturally not be greedy anymore.

However, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.

He said: "You have done meritorious service, and you are not allowed to refuse rewards."

"It's not been easy for you these past few years. You grew up alone and suffered so much hardship. Now your life is better, so don't say no to me."

He thought for a while and said: "I will think carefully about what you lack. When I think of it, I will give it to you directly. Don't refuse."

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you still buy and sell by force, Your Majesty?"

"snort!"

Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "My precious daughter is going to marry you. If I don't reward you with anything more, I'll let my precious daughter endure hardships with you."

Shen Lian naturally knew that Li Shimin was joking.

Princesses have always been supported by the palace. Even if they get married, they still receive monthly stipends. How can they endure hardships?

Li Shimin said: "Okay, don't get involved in this matter with me."

He waved his hand, narrowed his eyes, and his tone became serious again, saying: "Have you ever found the Beidou Society's home base in Nanzhao?"

Li Shimin knew that Shen Lian went to Nanzhao in person, with the purpose of attacking the power of the Beidou Society.

So he wanted to know that Shen Lian was back now, but there were results.

Then, he saw Shen Lian nodded.

Shen Lian looked at him and said, "It's been solved."

"We found the Beidou Society's home base in Nanzhao, and made a big fuss there."

"Then we left there, but not long after, I heard it was empty."

"Everyone from the Beidou Club has left!"

"I guess they knew that Nanzhao couldn't protect them at all, so in order to avoid huge casualties, they fled directly."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

He said: "Assuming they escaped early, otherwise no one would be able to escape once the army arrives."

Shen Lian said: "There is no way around this. Beichen is very cunning and decisive. He will not wait until the army approaches. I went there alone and my power is limited. I can only disgust him and destroy his plan." , but apart from that, there is no way to annihilate them."

"But your majesty can rest assured that Nanzhao is of great significance to the Beidou Society. Now that they have to give up Nanzhao, it will be a huge blow to them!"

"Moreover, I have already obtained a lot of clues. I believe that one day..."

Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "I will destroy it myself!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard Shen Lian's confident words.

He said: "I believe you."

"But don't worry, the Beidou Club has been an organization for many years. It took them hundreds of years to achieve the strength it has today."
