Wang Zi'an hated him and poked Li Shimin on the forehead.
The prodding made Li Shimin raise his head repeatedly and almost fell over from the stool.
Fortunately, Wang Zi'an poked his hand twice and stopped. Then he sat upright in embarrassment, bared his teeth and rubbed his forehead with his hands.
This guy's tricks are really dirty, I hope he won't do anything wrong.
"Besides, what's the point of sending troops this year? Just because Xue Yantuo came to ask for help? Just because Mobei suffered from severe cold and snow?"
Wang Zi'an was so drunk that he simply let down his bun, held the wine glass, walked to the door, and looked at the sky where snowflakes were scattered again.
"I asked you to kill Lao Cheng at the cost of an arm and a thigh. Do you want to do it? Injure the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred. Only fools like Li Er and Du Ruhui would do this... Uh -
—”
Being blown by the cool breeze, I felt so drunk that I couldn't help but vomit all over the floor.
What about Xue Yantuo asking for help, what about Du Ruhui Silly Que...
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojing wanted to ask further, but saw that this guy was already extremely drunk. They could only smile bitterly, and stepped forward to help him back to the bed.
In a daze, Wang Zi'an felt himself being lifted onto the bed by two people. He waved weakly.
"I'm drunk and sleepy, please go away. I want to bring Qin to you tomorrow..."
Then snoring began.
"You are so drunk that you can still write a poem. This poetic talent is truly unparalleled!"
Looking at Wang Zi'an who was as drunk as mud, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
"I'm so drunk that I'm about to go to bed. I'm going to bring you the harp tomorrow. The poem is a good poem. It floats out of the dust, leisurely and has the style of celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It's a pity -"
"What's the pity? Didn't you say this poem is quite good?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head in confusion and looked at Li Shimin with a regretful look on his face.
"It's a pity that he uttered the truth after drinking. It seems that he is unwilling to be an official from the bottom of his heart. I am still thinking that I will find a suitable opportunity to show off with him in the next few days and ask him to help me."
I, it seems..."
We still have to think about it in the long term!
Li Shimin shook his head with a complicated expression, sighed, leaned down, and carefully tucked the prince into bed. Seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, Li Shimin straightened up and let out a sigh of relief.
When he looked up, he found that Cheng Yaojin was still staring blankly at his forehead. Suddenly he felt angry? He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his aching forehead and kicked it.
"You old man? Why don't you go clean the table? Why don't you let me clean it myself?"
"It's like you've never done it before."
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, muttered and went to clean up.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Zi'an who was sleeping soundly. Thinking of what Wang Zi'an said, his eyes darkened unconsciously.
Will Xue Yantuo come to ask for help?
Walking out of the gate of Wang Zi'an's house, Li Shimin looked at the snowflakes that had gradually grown bigger, and suddenly said.
"Zhijie, what can you do about money?"
Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes? He put his hands behind his back and kept walking.
"Did you know that in Wagang? What should we do if we encounter a big deal that one person can't handle?"
"what to do?"
Li Shimin asked subconsciously.
"Of course we will do it together. If we make a big bowl and drink together, if we don't do it well, we will lose our heads together? Eighteen years later? Another good guy..."
Li Shimin looked at the sky speechlessly.
This old man? It’s hard to get rid of his gangster streak!
…
Meeting on the second day.
"My dear friends? If there is something going on, you will come to court, but if there is nothing going on, you will retreat."
Li Shimin was sitting in the Golden Palace, his eyes majestic as he scanned the civil and military officials in the palace, his voice was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger.
"Your Majesty Du Ruhui? There is a memorial. In the early hours of this morning? An envoy from Xue Yantuo's Ministry came to Beijing overnight to pray for an interview with His Majesty? It was said that he had something important to report——"
"Xue Yantuo really has an envoy asking for an audience?!"
Li Shimin leaned forward suddenly and looked at Du Ruhui without blinking.
Du Ruhui was a little confused when asked, "Is this a major military and national event? Is it okay for me to joke about it?"
What he didn't know was that Li Shimin was even more shocked at this moment.
Is everything that that bastard said true? It’s all true. Xue Yantuo really has a messenger asking to see him!
So Mobei suffered severe cold?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a deep breath of air-conditioning.
According to the spy's report, the prince sat at home and never left Chang'an. How did he know?
Could it be that there are really unpredictable ghosts and gods?
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. At this time, the envoy from Xue Yantuo's tribe is waiting outside the palace, waiting for your Majesty's call——"
Du Ruhui suppressed the doubts in his heart and replied in a deep voice.
"It is reported that the envoy of Xue Yantuo has come to see——"
Li Shimin came to his senses immediately, waved his hand and gave the order directly.
Looking at the envoy Xue Yantuo who was prostrate on the ground and prostrate himself to the ground, Li Shimin raised his hand and said in harmony.
"Your envoy has come a long way and has worked hard all the way, so please forgive me——"
"Thank you, Great Tang Tian Khan——"
When Xue Yantuo's envoy heard this, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and then got up from the ground.
"My subordinate, the envoy of Xue Yantuo, has come to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the orders of the leader. He specially presents a hundred horses, a hundred cattle and sheep, and a thousand furs -"
This is very comfortable!
It’s not about the size of the gift!
Li Shimin straightened his back unconsciously, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
"You came here this time, but because our tribe encountered a heavy snowfall that has never happened in a century, the cattle and sheep froze to death?"
"How did your Majesty know?"
The Xiongnu envoy was shocked and dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the news had already reached the ears of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty!
Seeing the reaction of the Huns envoy, the ministers in the court couldn't help but stare.
It really is!
Your Majesty, you all know when you can master pinching!
Seeing the shocked and incomprehensible expressions of the civil and military officials in the palace, Li Shimin felt as if he had drank ice-cold sour plum soup in the summer, and his heart was shaking.
"But that Jieli Khan begged his neighbor, passed on the crisis, and extorted money from you. You couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to join forces with the Uighurs, Ba Yegu, and other Luo tribes to rise up and resist?"
Messenger Xue Yantuo opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a fist into it.
This, this, this is also known!
This matter is the highest secret in our tribe. Except for the tribe leader, no outsider can learn about it.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was thousands of miles away, but he actually knew everything. Could it be that there was help from the gods?
Thinking of this, his legs softened and he fell to his knees with a thud, his face touching the ground.
"The Heavenly Khan is as wise as the sea, and he has no plans left. He is a true god and man! Nothing in the world can be hidden from the eyes of the Heavenly Khan who sees everything——"
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and he pretended to be reserved and glanced at the ministers in the palace. In the past, he had only been criticized by them, but it was rare to receive so many looks of shock and admiration.
"It's actually true..."
"It's incredible..."
"Your Majesty's methods are becoming more and more unpredictable..."
