He ran all the way in the city, allowing the road to open wherever he passed. Soon the gate of the palace appeared ahead. The general guarding the gate was Li Long. When he saw this general, he was stunned and his face was a little hesitant.

There is a reason for hesitation. Because both sides knew each other, Li Long was confused by the order of guarding the Chang'an City, riding a war horse and holding a red feather.

But this doubt only flashed in his mind. After a moment, Li Long's face suddenly changed. He also showed sadness and anger on his face, and he shouted: "Why do you say Wuyi, you are with me..."

This sentence means that he has understood everything. A comrade has left, so the gatekeeper has led him. He has taken over the unfinished responsibilities of his comrade, so he is now holding the red feather in his hand.

"Open the door and let it go!" Li Long shouted loudly and waved his arm down.

The Imperial Guard behind roared to open the palace gate, and then let the two sides of the road open. The general had the opportunity to wipe his tears at this time. He didn't bother to greet Li Long and rushed into the palace directly.

It was early one morning, and Li Shimin was holding a court meeting in Taiji Hall. Two Hong Lingshu sent a hurry to report, but the court was already in full swing.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chaise with a pale complexion. He pointed at someone below and shouted in anger, saying, "Lu Dongzan, do you want to die in Tubo?"

It turned out that the one standing below was Lu Dongzan, the great prime minister of Tubo. Today, the emperor was summoning envoys from various countries to court for a formal meeting. Unexpectedly, he first received an invasion from the Western Regions army, and then heard that Jiannan Road was killed and looted by Tubo. In particular, the other party had actually conquered two small counties. It was obvious that the war had already begun more than ten days ago.

Lu Dongzan stood upright, as if not afraid of Li Shimin's rage and roar, but said with a smile: "I said before that Tubo wanted a noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty to be his wife. If His Majesty the Emperor refused to agree, then Songzan Gampo would take it himself..."

It is a good idea to marry each other on the surface, but it actually means robbing. If you don’t give it to me, you will come and rob it.

Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the dragon throne and roared: "Come on, push it out and kill it!"

Jinwu Guard rushed in at the door and stepped forward to press Lu Dongzan to the ground. Lu Dongzan was still not afraid, but laughed wildly and said, "If you kill me, I will not be afraid. This time, 500,000 troops were dispatched to Tubo, and countless people will be buried with me in the Tang Dynasty..."

"Slay, slash, push and slash!" Li Shimin yelled and kept waving at the Jinwu Guard.

At this moment, the goalkeeper holding a red feather finally arrived on a horse. He suddenly raised the red feather in his hand. Before he got off the horse, he shouted quickly and said in grief: "Hong feather urgently, the Western Turkic army entered the pass. Burned, killed, looted, and corpses were everywhere. General Hou Junji was trapped in a heavy siege. Hong feathers who came to report were dying at the city gate. His comrades were covered in wounds. They should have rushed out of the trapped army..."

These words include the report of the dead Hong Ling urgently, and the speculation of the city guard general. Li Shimin stood in front of the dragon throne and his face changed. After a long time, he suddenly took a cold breath and blurted out: "Three invasions?"

"Hahaha!" Lu Dongzan laughed wildly again and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, do you still want to kill me?"

Li Shimin really dared not to kill him.

If Lu Dongzan is killed, there will definitely be no room for maneuver with Tubo. If it were just the emperor of Tubo’s 500,000 army, it would not be afraid, but now there are three places at the same time, and each place is a powerful enemy.

The West is the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and I think the coalition forces will cost at least hundreds of thousands.

In the southwest, there are 500,000 iron hooves of Tubo, and the person who led the troops was still the Emperor Songtsen Gampo of Tubo.

There are also large invading troops in the northwest now. Although the number of people is unknown, the Western Turks are still very powerful now, and it is estimated that there are quite a few military forces deployed.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and suddenly waved to the Jinwu Guard who pressed Lu Dongzan. He forcibly pretended to be a smile on his face and said with kindness: "Master, you can go to Honglu Temple to rest first. I will visit him in a few days. Now I want to discuss state affairs with all the ministers. I hope that Master will forgive me if I offend you."

As the emperor of a country, he lowered his posture and apologized to an envoy. Li Shimin's face was obviously dark red, and the civil and military ministers in the court looked sad and angry.

Lu Dongzan laughed proudly, raised his chest and leaned over and left. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly looked back and smiled coldly, saying coldly: "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, don't forget that sentence. If you don't give it to us, we will get it ourselves..."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and smiled forcibly, "Let's go slowly, I won't send you off!"

Lu Dongzan laughed and left.

Suddenly, several people set off in the court. The leader was the Great Elder Tuyuhun, and there were envoys from many small countries in the Western Regions. These people were originally meeting with each other today, but at this time, they all became arrogant and suddenly bowed to Li Shimin casually and said proudly: "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, we have also said goodbye. In a few days, I hope your country can reply carefully."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth again, gritted his teeth and smiled, "Everyone, I won't send you off. After that, I will order the Honglu Temple to entertain you, and there will be no shortage of people from the restaurant."

The envoys laughed wildly and made an appointment to leave together. The elder Tuyuhun had a little bit of virtue. Before leaving, he solemnly bowed to the emperor and smiled: "Your Majesty, be tolerant. Compared with the throne of the Yangtze River, some humiliation can be borne. I am actually unwilling to force Your Majesty, but this time it is an alliance of various countries..."

Li Shimin slowly breathed, but as the emperor, he bowed to the other party.

The Great Elder Tuyuhun nodded, then walked away from the court. There was a Jinwu Guard who was in charge of leading the way outside, and he left the palace with envoys with all the envoys on his face.

Li Shimin's face turned pale and kicked the dragon cavalry angrily. Suddenly, his hands were struggling forward with all his might and overturned the table with a loud bang.

At this moment, Wang Zhao of Taiyuan suddenly stood up from the court. The old man smiled and bowed slightly to the emperor, yawned, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your crime. The old minister felt a cold last night. Now I am asking to retire from the court in advance to recuperate..."

Before he finished speaking, a large number of people suddenly stood up in the court. Most of these things were from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but many people came from other families. After everyone stood up, they also said, "Your Majesty, I wish to retire from the court to cultivate!"

Li Shimin was furious and stretched out his hand to accuse him, but his arms kept trembling, and it was obvious that the anger in his heart had been suppressed to the extreme.

Wang Zhao laughed and went out without caring about it. He snorted coldly, "A few days ago, the Qujiang Festival, Your Majesty asked me to expel my Taiyuan Wang family. The feng shui changed and finally arrived at my house. Today, you don't need Your Majesty to expel you, so I will go..."

I smiled at the sky and left.

Three or four hundred ministers behind him also raised their feet and went out, but before leaving, they did not bow to Li Shimin.

After these people went out, they gathered in groups. Wang Zhao suddenly shouted out the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were leading the way, and then looked anxiously and said to everyone: "It's done, you can do it."

Everyone was filled with joy, and many were dancing. A minister from a middle-class family looked flattering and said flatteringly: "It is worthy of being the Wang family in Taiyuan, with amazing work. I didn't expect that this time the prince and the prince would contact three powerful aids at the same time. With them raising an army to invade, we can do it."

Wang Zhao stroked his long beard with a gratitude and looked at the man proudly, and said leisurely: "More than three, but five. The monks of the Buddhist sect have entered the pass, and the bandits in the Green Forest are about to rebel. Let's wait and see. In less than three days, the entire Tang Dynasty will be filled with war smoke..."

The minister was full of surprise and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "There are actually ambushers, which is really good!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the Tai Chi Hall behind him, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Li Shimin has been in the throne for six years, and now it's time to change his seat."

Everyone laughed and went to the palace gate leisurely.

At this time, there were still a group of ministers left in the Tai Chi Hall, and most of the people who could be left were royal confidants. At this moment, everyone looked ugly, and some of the hot tempers were already cursing.

Li Shimin's chest kept rising and falling, and he kept slashing with the Emperor's Sword in his hand. The ministers below were persuaded not to persuade him, so he could only stand in the court with a wry smile on his face.

Li Shimin was angry for a long time, and suddenly his tiger's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

All the ministers were stunned, and several generals from the Ministry of War were stubborn and said, "Your Majesty, you should discuss the war..."

Li Shimin didn't even look at them, and roared again, shouting loudly: "Retreat!" After saying that, he rushed off the dragon throne and ran back with anger on his face.

The ministers frowned, and many sighed.

Suddenly, Li Shimin shouted loudly and said loudly: "Li Ji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, Gao Shilian, you will follow me to return to the palace!"

The ministers' eyes lit up and they couldn't help but nodded. Li Shimin called out five important officials, obviously wanting to go to the deep palace to discuss. It seems that although His Majesty is furious, he is not fainting yet. As long as he is willing to deal with any difficulties, he can get through it.

The five important officials who were named quickly left work and ran back around the dragon throne and the hall pillar.

The ministers who stayed behind looked at each other and suddenly said, "We should go back and discuss and prepare according to our duties. If Your Majesty wants to fight, we must ensure that we can mobilize troops at any time..."

Everyone nodded and left with all their hearts. Everyone frowned, feeling that things were difficult to handle.

Just after all the ministers left the hall, footsteps suddenly sounded behind the hall, but when Li Shimin saw that he had walked out of it, the emperor clearly followed the five ministers who had just chased him.

Among them, Li Jie's eyes flashed, and he suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, is there anyone here?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, turned to the dark place and shouted: "Report it!"

Someone suddenly spoke in the corner of the hall and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, there is no one in the hall. Not only is there no one in the hall, but there is no one within a radius of fifty feet."

Li Shimin laughed and nodded, "It's great!"

Li Ji then let out a sigh and smiled, "Your Majesty is powerful, and things are done. As long as you act according to the plan, you will be done once and for all..."

"Ah hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed to the sky and said proudly: "It was all calculated by the stinky brat."
