Let us say that as soon as Li Shimin returned to Daming Palace, Queen Changsun and others followed him.
Don't wait for him to feel sad.
But a telegram was delivered.
The person who submitted the telegram was an eunuch.
He handed over the telegram respectfully with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this telegram was sent back from Yingzhou two hours ago. Please read it!"
That is when Li Shimin left, the telegram came.
Where Yingzhou is located is the borderline with Goguryeo.
At this time, Yuchi Jingde was assigned to guard the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
To the northeast, there are troops of Goguryeo, Silla and Japan stationed there. These clowns are really annoying!
These people claim to be practicing military exercises, but everyone knows their true intentions.
At this time, it would definitely not be a good thing if a telegram came from there.
Therefore, Li Shimin couldn't care less about his sadness.
I picked up the telegram directly.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
"What! Goguryeo doesn't take me seriously! It's so courageous! There are also Japanese people, I'm so angry! These small countries dare to do this! They are so courageous! I really don't want to live.
Yet?"
"Your Majesty, would you like me to take a look?"
"Give!"
Empress Changsun was also surprised at this time. She took the telegram and took a look.
At the same time, he was also shocked.
"I didn't expect that they actually built fortifications on the border! It looks like they are going to fight for a long time! But they ignore my determination! They must be cleared!"
Concubine Yang said: "The Japanese people took advantage of their location and were surrounded by the sea, and their navy was stronger than other countries. They thought that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to do anything to them, so they did this. It was really the work of a villain.
."
Because Li Shimin had punished the Japanese pirates before, which made them hold a grudge, so he did this. This kind of behavior makes people angry! It was originally their fault! But it was detrimental to the Tang Dynasty!
It turned out that this telegram was written by Yuchi Jingde.
It is said that Goguryeo and other countries built fortifications on the border of Yingzhou.
There are suddenly these things that were not there before. Does this mean they want to go further?
As mentioned above, Goguryeo and other countries gathered a large number of soldiers and conducted military exercises every day.
It seems like he is preparing something.
At the same time, another thing was mentioned.
That is to ask Li Shimin to allocate funds to strengthen the city walls, build fortifications, train soldiers, and even use the money to recruit soldiers to enhance defense strength.
Naturally, Li Shimin would not directly finalize such a major matter.
Also think about it and ask other people's opinions.
So he gave the order.
"Send the order, and in half an hour, all the officials will go to court!"
This matter is no small matter and must be handled as quickly as possible.
Half an hour, although it is very urgent, but it is also a last resort.
…
As soon as the order was given, everyone started to move.
Within half an hour.
All the civil and military officials came in a hurry.
At this time, Li Shimin also allowed Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang to go to court together.
This is imitating Li Min's approach. It is also what he wants to do, reuse two women to make himself relaxed.
But it has to be said that the talents of these two women are not weak.
Compared to five women, it may not be much different.
All civil and military officials were puzzled as to why Li Shimin suddenly asked them to go to court.
Seeing his frown, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Until he said: "I received a telegram from Yingzhou!"
Everyone finally understands what's going on.
It must be about the telegram.
What did the telegram say?
"Come here, read!"
So, a eunuch read out the contents of the telegram.
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials also frowned.
So...
This matter is no small matter.
Everyone started talking about it
Li Shimin then asked: "Everyone has listened, so what do you think next?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, if we build fortifications, the cost will naturally not be small. We just built nine hospitals some time ago, and invested a lot of money for people's livelihood. We also invested in building railways and other things."
, this year the court has spent a lot of money, if we spend more money, I am afraid that the financial support will not be able to support it!"
Yes, in this case, Li Shimin was cheated of a lot of money by Li Min to invest in people's livelihood.
But this money was not taken by Li Min, it was used for the construction of Datang.
The money will be profitable, but the benefits may take longer.
The problem now is that financial support cannot be sustained.
But some people said: "Your Majesty, I think this fortification must be built! Otherwise, once Goguryeo and others invade, our border will not be peaceful and the country will be ruined!"
"I agree! There must still be money in the treasury now, and the Shengtang Group can contribute a lot of tax revenue in a month. Use that money to make corrections!"
Some people also suggested: "Do we have to build defense? How about upgrading weapons! How about making more weapons?"
More people think the same as Fang Xuanling.
That is to say, it is too expensive to build this thing.
It takes time and is not flattering.
It's better to make weapons faster.
But some people have said that if you build this thing, it will be useful in the future, and you can't just leave it unused.
At the same time, Wei Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Sixth Prince and see what he decides? Maybe he can have a better solution?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt unhappy.
"He can do business, but let him fight? You think too highly of him!"
Looking at this situation, Li Shimin is going to do it himself.
At the same time, he also looked down on Li Min. How could he do this about the war?
But he was wrong.
Li Min's power was beyond his imagination.
As long as the time is right, he can even destroy an entire country by himself.
This is all possible.
The ministers said no more.
Li Shimin asked again:
"Queen, what do you think?"
All civil and military officials were shocked.
Just now they thought that the two women were just here to listen, but they didn't expect that Li Shimin actually asked them what they meant.
Of course, what the emperor meant by asking the queen was just for reference and may not necessarily be implemented in this way.
Therefore, everyone can only chant silently in their hearts.
Your Majesty is wise.
Queen Changsun was also a little puzzled.
How did Li Shimin make himself answer the question?
She never thought that Li Shimin was stimulated because Li Min had five women helping him, but he had no one to help him.
It's also because Li Shimin didn't raise it.
Now he has done so.
But it was surprising.
At the same time, I was a little scared.
But she still said: "I think that the Duke of Wei is right, fortifications are difficult to build!"
"What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Li Shimin asked Concubine Yang again.
At this time, he knows how to listen to other people's opinions, but he still has his own ideas on how to do it.
"I thought... I thought..."
"Why?"
Concubine Yang hesitated, making Li Shi anxious.
This made the civil and military officials even more anxious.
