Some people who have small thoughts are even more worried. As for what they are thinking, it is unknown.
"What do you want when you come here today?"
Li Shimin was in a good mood, and even his attitude became much gentler.
"The chief of my family and the leaders of various tribes, please your Majesty to uphold justice and send out heavenly troops to march across Mobei to jointly attack the cruel and unkind tyrant Jieli..."
Really asking for help!
Li Shimin nodded calmly.
"This matter is of great importance and needs to be considered in the long term. You have come a long way and it has been a hard journey. Go down and rest first."
After Xue Yantuo's envoy exited the hall, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and asked in a deep voice.
"Now Xue Yantuo's tribe has come to ask for help. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know where your Majesty got the news from, but I believe that before verifying the information, you must not act rashly, let alone rely on the words of the envoy Xue Yantuo and his family to prevent fraud!"
Du Ruhui left the class and answered in a deep voice.
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal..."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal..."
…
Li Shimin nodded calmly. Military and national affairs must not be decided rashly.
"Your Majesty - I dare to ask Your Majesty, how did you know about this incident in Mobei? Could it be that the envoy Xue Yantuo has contacted the internal guards privately?"
Your Majesty's behavior today is really strange. He and the envoy Xue Yantuo sang in harmony, just like singing a double act.
Isn't this a deliberate request to send troops to Mobei?
This bold idea came to Wei Zheng's mind, and he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Oh - this matter..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yaojin and found that this guy was looking at his nose and heart, as if he hadn't heard anything. He suddenly understood.
This old man is probably unwilling to expose Wang Zi'an's affairs for the time being.
That would be easy to handle.
Thinking of this? Li Shimin coughed slightly and straightened his waist. He stood up from the dragon chair and looked down at the hall full of civil and military ministers.
"I can see this from the price..."
"Price?"
Everyone is confused. How can we see so many things in prices?
"I recently discovered that since the beginning of winter, the price of cattle, sheep and horses has increased abnormally. So I know that Mobei must have encountered a severe cold that has not been seen in a century. I am afraid that countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death. Compared with the same period last year, the price of salt, iron and fur has exceeded two
If it is twice as much, then you know that there may be a war in Mobei."
Li Shimin's voice sounded in the hall calmly, and the whole hall was filled with gasps.
Your Majesty is becoming more and more unfathomable!
"Yes, your Majesty did ask me for a questionnaire on price fluctuations in Chang'an recently..."
Tang Jian added subconsciously.
When everyone looked at Li Shimin's eyes, everything changed immediately.
"Your Majesty? Mobei and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart? As far as I know? There is no relevant news from the border yet? How did your Majesty know that Xue Yantuo and other tribes wanted to rebel against the Turks and start a war with Jieli?"
Hou Junji frowned, puzzled, and couldn't help but subconsciously leave the class to ask Li Shimin for advice.
The eyes of other ministers in the hall also gathered together. They all wanted to hear Li Shimin's explanation.
"Good question!"
Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji with satisfaction. According to the boy Wang Zi'an, this guy is very comfortable.
"I see that Jieli Khan, who is called a hero? He is actually just a selfish villain. Under such natural disasters, in order to preserve his own strength, I predict that he will definitely increase his aggression against Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other affiliated tribes.
Exploitation.”
Are you talking about this? Li Shimin paused and then said slowly.
"Xue Yantuo and other tribes suffered from natural disasters and were already in dire straits. Jieli's move will definitely overwhelm them. They will take desperate measures to survive. But with their strength, they are definitely no match for Jieli. Therefore, I conclude that they will not be able to survive in the future."
They will come to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty..."
"Your Majesty is wise and wise as the sea, and I bow to you all!"
Even Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Li Xiaogong and other generals could not help but be convinced. His Majesty's wisdom became more and more unfathomable!
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others, who were known for their strategic wisdom, couldn't help but admire Li Shimin who was talking eloquently and taking things lightly.
You can see the subtle details, but you can see thousands of miles clearly!
"Your Majesty is wise! However, this matter is serious. I think that for the sake of safety, it is better to wait for the news from Mobei before making a decision..."
Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the hall.
"Report - urgent report at the border - eight hundred miles urgent -"
Urgent report at the border, urgent for 800 miles!
Could it be that the Turks invaded the border?
All the officials in the hall suddenly looked solemn and looked back. Only Li Shimin's face showed an imperceptible fluctuation.
Counting the days, the captain he sent out to check the situation at the border should also arrive.
After a while, a captain with tired lips and chapped lips stood in the main hall with a cold air.
"Report - Your Majesty, as your Majesty expected, there was a snowstorm that had not happened in a century in Mobei. Countless cattle and sheep froze to death. Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes could not bear the exploitation of Jieli's troops and were ready to start a rebellion. There were already signs of rebellion.
"
Looking at the emperor sitting on the throne in the main hall, the military lieutenant colonel who had just returned from the border pass had a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
His Majesty is truly unpredictable.
Even though we were thousands of miles away, we knew the situation in Mobei very well, as if we were witnessing it with our own eyes.
Looking at his captain, with an expression of crazy admiration in his eyes, Li Shimin felt as if he had drank a cold drink on a hot summer day. He felt so comfortable that even his voice became much gentler.
"Is there any movement in Jieli?"
"Your Majesty's God, you can see thousands of miles away! As your Majesty expected before, Jieli's troops are gathering troops and moving towards the border. There seems to be signs of large-scale use of troops..."
I got tricked by that kid again!
Li Shimin suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded slightly.
"My dear, it's been a hard journey. Go down and rest."
The captain turned around and exited, and the hall was already in an uproar.
The news is really shocking.
Mobei suffered a snowstorm, and the Turkic tributaries Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes took the initiative to contact the imperial court and planned a rebellion, while Jieli reorganized their military equipment and planned to use troops against the Tang Dynasty.
However, compared to this news, what shocked everyone more was the ability that His Majesty suddenly showed today.
It can no longer be described as foresight, it is simply like divine help!
Some people are ecstatic, while others are worried.
As one of Li Shimin's most trusted team members, Du Ruhui suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately stood up and made suggestions in a deep voice.
"Wei Chen believes that this is a God-given opportunity. We should immediately dispatch a large army and send out Turks troops to unite with Xue Yantuo's tribes internally and externally to give Khan Jieli a head-on attack!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't accept God's gift, you will be punished. I thought that I should take advantage of this opportunity and immediately send troops to attack the royal court in Mobei to avenge the shame of the Wei River!"
