After hearing Luo Zhang's report, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations!"

"I won't disappoint His Majesty!" Luo Zhang replied quickly, but he was laughing in his heart. Didn't he just want to build a sea ship as soon as possible so that he can search for the elixir of life? You look anxious, you are not very old.

, why are you so anxious? I really don’t understand.

It's not that Li Shimin is anxious, but that Li Shimin has no idea about finding this medicine. Although Luo Zhang is here, he may not be able to find it. After all, Luo Zhang also went there many years ago, and he was young at that time, so he naturally wants to give it to him.

If you take enough time to search, you will have a greater chance of success.

After answering Li Shimin's question, Luo Zhang returned to his seat and sat down.

Okay, don't sleep now, your good dreams have been disturbed, and you still have a bad sleep.

As soon as he sat down, he saw a group of veterans sitting across from him. They gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his good response. Luo Zhang rolled his eyes and ignored these veterans. All he thought about was when this morning meeting would end.

He wanted to go home and have a rest. This is not called morning service at all, this is called suffering.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Just when everyone thought the morning court was about to end, Li Jing stood up and started to say.

Everyone looked sideways, wondering what Li Jing wanted to ask for. You must know that Li Jing's request for a performance was no small matter. He usually didn't speak. Once he spoke, it would herald war. Recalling a poem that His Majesty delivered to the three provinces and six ministries not long ago,

This is what Li Jing is most likely going to start playing.

"What do you want to say?" Li Shimin's face became much more serious after Li Jing spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic armies have repeatedly invaded our territory. I request you to lead the king's army to exterminate the Turks, relieve the suffering of the people in our border areas, and promote the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Jing knelt down on one knee and said.

"Wow!"

The entire meeting hall immediately exploded because of Li Jing's announcement. Sure enough, as soon as Li Jing opened his mouth, it foreshadowed war.

In the ranks of civil servants, Changsun Wuji immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The Turks have not invaded our border now. It is unreasonable for us to use weapons rashly. At this time, we should rest and recuperate. The best policy is

, Your Majesty, please think twice!”

"Your Majesty, the Turks are located in the far north. It is frozen all year round, which is disadvantageous to our Tang army. Attacking the Turks is really a bad idea. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Chu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji's follower, stood up and objected.

Seeing this, some civil servants agreed, some opposed, and some remained silent.

On the contrary, the military attachés all stood up to express their support. Although Li Jing's matter was indeed risky, what they wanted was a war. Only in this way could the military attache's status in the court be reflected. Over the years, military attachés have been suppressed by civilian officials.

It was so stressful that they could hardly hold their breath.

Listening to the discussion below, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Let's discuss this later!"

Li Jing knew how difficult this matter was, so he didn't bother too much. He knew that His Majesty would ask him for detailed inquiries soon. He said that there would be no results until dawn, and all he wanted was to make his own voice heard.

After a while, when no one started to play again, Eunuch Huang waved his whisk and shouted to disperse. Then all the ministers got up and respectfully saw off His Majesty.

After hearing the word "San Chao", Luo Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his legs that were numb after kneeling for several hours, stretched and stood up.

Before Luo Zhang could walk out of the Tai Chi Palace, he was stopped by a young eunuch who asked Luo Zhang to go to the Imperial Study Room, where His Majesty was waiting for him.

Luo Zhang was about to cry in his heart. Your Majesty is playing tricks on me. What time is it? Aren’t you hungry? I only ate two cakes in the morning and haven’t even drank a sip of water yet. You can’t be so merciful as to give up.

Should I go home first and then come back?

This is just a thought in my heart, but I cannot put it into action. This is His Majesty. Even if you and your wife are making a baby, and His Majesty calls you to come into the palace, if you don’t get up quickly, get dressed and run into the palace, if you dare to complain, then stop being around.

.

He followed the little eunuch obediently to the imperial study room. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw several people standing outside. Unexpectedly, besides himself, someone else was also called.

These people are all very familiar, they are the same group of people who were chatting outside the imperial city before.

Seeing Luo Zhang coming, Li Jing showed a smile and said: "It's up to you whether you can attack the Turks! I will help you with your matter!"

The promise given by Li Jing made Luo Zhang's eyes light up. All the previous complaints about being tired and hungry disappeared. Complaints? How is it possible, tired? I can still do a hundred push-ups without being hungry? It doesn't exist at all.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Luo Zhang chuckled, causing all the veterans to roll their eyes and secretly thought, can Luo Zhang really have a way to attack the Turks?

At this time, Eunuch Huang came out and saw Luo Zhang coming, so he called everyone in.

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin was drinking tea and resting. He was also a human being, and he would be tired just sitting there all morning.

Seeing the ministers come in, Li Shimin put down the tea cup and wiped his mouth and said, "Let's talk about it. Since we have proposed attacking the Turks, I think you must have thought of a way."

Li Shimin asked directly and straightforwardly. It was much more direct than in the morning, and there were not so many twists and turns.

Since the matter was brought up by Li Jing, it was natural that Li Jing was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I have already deduced that if our army marches in the spring and launches an attack in the summer, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in the autumn!"

Li Shimin was not moved by Li Jing's words, but said calmly: "Have we not tried this before? But what was the result? The Turks relied on the superiority of their cavalry, and our army simply could not catch up. When they fled further north, we would not be able to catch up.

There is no way to deal with them! Don't forget, they are nomads! They have no homeland at all, and they will not stop there for us to attack! When we retreat, they will come back again! Unless you have a permanent solution, otherwise

It won’t work!”

"Your Majesty, Luo Zhang has already thought of a solution, that's why I boldly proposed attacking the Turks. If this method is feasible, I want Luo Zhang to go out with the army as a duty to join the army!" Li Jing bowed.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there was something about Luo Zhang here. He couldn't help but look at Luo Zhang, wanting to hear his explanation.

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him, Luo Zhang couldn't hide behind him, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Li said is indeed true. Wei Chen does have a solution, but that method can only be solved by Wei Chen, and it can only be found in the north.

Available."

"Only you can? What's the use of that?" Li Shimin frowned.

"Your Majesty, the only difficulty in attacking the Turks is that if the Turks cannot defeat us, they will flee to the north. In their view, the cold in the north is something that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cannot withstand, so they can rest easy now. And if I can make them

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of the severe cold. Do you think we can still destroy the Turks?" Luo Zhang said confidently.

"Seriously?" Li Shimin was also surprised at this time. If this is really the case, then annihilating the Turks would be a piece of cake. But is it really feasible?

"How can I break my promise? It's a crime of deceiving the emperor, and I will be beheaded. I don't want to risk my life at such a young age!" Luo Zhang shrank his neck and said playfully.

"Then what do you need?" Li Shimin didn't take it seriously, but asked seriously. His biggest dream in this life is to do what Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty failed to do. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to Gaoguli three times.

, but defeated Gaogouli three times. It was not that the Gaogouli people were so powerful, but that there would be accidents every time. And the last time, Yang Guang even went on a personal expedition, but he was ambushed by the Gaogouli army and died in battle.

Two hundred thousand soldiers fled back to Chang'an in a hurry. At this point, the vitality of the Sui Dynasty was severely damaged, which was also the reason for the decline of the Sui Dynasty.

What Li Shimin wanted was to capture Gaogouli to show that he was more powerful than Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. However, the biggest trouble in capturing Gaogouli was the Turks, and the Turks were not easy to destroy. This has always been the case.

He had sent troops to suppress his heart problems before, but each time they ended in failure. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhang said today that he had a solution. How could he not be serious about this?

"Eunuch Huang, can you bring me paper and pen? Your Majesty will understand after I draw it!" Luo Zhang nodded towards Eunuch Huang.

Eunuch Huang did not dare to neglect, and ordered the young eunuch to put down pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Luo Zhang rolled up his sleeves, picked up the brush, and drew on a piece of yellowish paper. On the side, a group of veterans looked sideways, wanting to take a look.

What exactly was Luo Zhang drawing? Even Li Shimin stood up curiously and walked behind Luo Zhang to watch.
