When Li Shimin returned to the Daming Palace, everything he thought was wrong.
So he said to Cheng Yaojin beside him.
"Zhijie, I want you to go on a long journey."
Cheng Yaojin was depressed.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's obviously unreasonable for him to go on a long trip.
What exactly Li Shimin is thinking in his heart is really puzzling.
So he asked: "What's going on, Your Majesty? Why do you want me to travel far away at this time? Where are you going?"
Li Shimin did not say it directly.
Instead, he said: "I feel very uneasy in my heart."
"Why? Why are you upset?"
Queen Changsun asked.
Li Shimin wouldn't be like this in the past. What happened today? He seemed a little distracted when he came back from Li Min's place. His behavior was against the norm!
At the same time, Concubine Yang was also on the spot.
She just wanted to help Li Min, but she didn't expect that Li Shimin came back. That's why she didn't go out, and he came back with him.
Therefore, Queen Changsun told her all this.
As soon as she said this, she understood that Li Shimin wanted Cheng Yaojin to go out again.
Then, Li Shimin said: "Because I always feel that these Tubo people are very untrustworthy, especially Songtsen Gampo! What if he suddenly launches an attack on our border one day? There are not many troops in the border now, I'm afraid
…”
It is not unreasonable for Li Shimin to be so worried. After all, just now he led tens of thousands of troops and went directly to encircle and suppress Songtsen Gampo.
And put pressure on Li Min, and almost succeeded.
And if Songtsen Gampo hadn't left in a hot air balloon.
At this time, he might have burped himself.
Queen Changsun said: "Your Majesty, I think you are worrying too much!"
In fact, this was Songtsan Gampo seeking death. He did not stay in Tubo, but he came to Chang'an. Li Shimin's reaction was right, everyone would do this, right?
"Impossible, impossible! I am so flustered now! I must prevent him from attacking!"
Concubine Yang asked: "Why is it impossible?"
Li Shimin said slowly: "These Tubo people don't keep their word. It's very untrustworthy! If you let them go, it won't work!"
Cheng Yaojin was about to cry.
Do you really want to go by yourself? That’s not possible!
So he said:
"But Your Majesty, it's winter now. The Tubo people can't get close to our city, and they can't hit us! And we don't need to put the army there anymore. What's important at this time is Goguryeo in the northeast.
Ji, Japan, etc.! These enemies are the most important, aren't they?"
He tried to persuade Li Shimin, but failed! He was very clear about what Li Shimin wanted to do and would not give up. So no matter how much he said, he could not influence Li Shimin.
"I have already said that I am very uneasy! Are you trying to resist the decree? I know you are getting bolder and bolder!"
This would scare people to death.
Cheng Yaojin responded hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, I also think about the Tang Dynasty!"
"Okay, stop talking. Don't try to change what I have decided! I value you so much! If I ask you to go, just go and stop talking nonsense!"
Some people would rather not be valued like this, but they would have to risk their lives! The older Cheng Yaojin gets, the more afraid of death he becomes, and he still has a concubine whom he does not love!
In the end, Cheng Yaojin could only look at Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang for help.
He was very puzzled by Li Shimin's behavior. Okay, why would you do this?
He felt that the Tibetan people would not do this. Especially Songtsen Gampo, who had a deal with Li Min.
Furthermore, if the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, how could Tubo dare to act recklessly?
You know, Li Min's Shengtang Group should have also been seen by Songtsen Gampo.
He will definitely think that the Shengtang Group must also have contributed to the imperial court.
But what he thinks and what Li Shimin thinks determines his future.
It feels very bad to work under Li Shimin.
He could only sigh, but just as he was about to leave Daming Palace.
Empress Changsun asked him not to leave yet.
Only then did Cheng Yaojin stop.
"Your Majesty, I don't think this matter needs to be rushed. If Zhijie is allowed to go to the border, it will make things unforeseeable, and the Tubo people will regard us as their enemies. This will strain the Tibetan people's nerves and lead to war.
Now the railway from Chang'an to Taizhou is about to be completed. That day I heard that Min'er was also building the second railway. If it is completed, wouldn't it be possible to reach the border soon? We can go to the border at any time in the future!
Can you support me at any time?"
Concubine Yang then said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that we don't need to mobilize troops. Moreover, it is winter now, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come in. They will only be trapped in the snow."
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and when he heard it, it seemed to be the truth.
So, he said: "Okay. Let's see if this Songtsan Gambo can provide herbal medicine! If not, let's talk about it!"
Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief.
If so, that would be great.
Li Shimin then added: "Then let's put this matter on hold for now. By the way, let Xiao Dai come in!"
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief.
Are you kidding me, if I go to those places.
Maybe his life is almost gone, and Cheng Yaojin is too old now to withstand the hardship.
He is no longer like the person he was when he fought with Li Shimin to conquer the world.
"Then, Your Majesty, I will go first?"
"No! You keep it! I might have something else to do!"
Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
What happened to Li Shimin?
so be it.
"yes!"
Cheng bites the golden belly discussion.
This guy……
Okay, just stay.
Afterwards, Dai Zhou entered the Daming Palace.
When I saw Li Shimin and everyone there.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen, and Concubine Yang!"
"No need to be polite!"
Li Shimin motioned for him to stand flat.
Then he asked: "How is the state treasury doing recently?"
Some time ago, Li Shimin asked Dai Zhou to handle the treasury affairs.
This prompted the question.
"Your Majesty, the Shengtang Group has recently acquired a few more pieces of land. They said they want to build commercial buildings. I have already distributed them to them. They are already under construction. The imperial treasury has also been relieved to a certain extent!"
Dai Zhou said.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the commercial building.
This is the commercial building proposed by Li Min some time ago.
That is to commercialize buildings.
Originally, this thing couldn't be used as a commodity.
But under Li Min's operation, it turned into a commodity.
Li Shimin also built some buildings accordingly.
But next, he didn't know what to do.
When Dai Zhou mentioned it, Li Shimin remembered it again.
"Tell me about it, what are their commercial buildings like? How many have they sold now? How much did they sell for, I want to know!"
These data are very important.
This is also something Li Shimin has been paying attention to for some time.
Dai Zhou then opened his mouth.
When everyone heard it, it turned out that Li Min had done such things.
