The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1065 Use the concubine's money?
When Li Shimin was lost in thought, someone suddenly opened the door and broke in.

It's an old eunuch.

Such rude behavior made Li Shimin very angry.

Why is this eunuch so reckless!interrupted his own thinking.

"What are you doing? So reckless?!"

Then he said:

"Don't you know who knocked when you came in?"

The eunuch was terrified, and quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Damn your Majesty's villain! Be careful is unintentional!"

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Li Shimin sat down and asked!He was still angry.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, there is a big event in the northeast of Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin jumped up when he heard it!

Isn't the northeast of Tang Dynasty the place adjacent to Goguryeo?
There are troops from Japan, Goguryeo and other countries.

Now that there is a big event, it must be a very important event.

No wonder the eunuch rushed in so recklessly.

"What! What happened? Tell me!"

he asked anxiously.

"A letter from General Yuchi! Said that the Japanese are approaching the northeast! There are [-] troops, and the strength is still increasing. The situation is very urgent!"

Li Shimin was silent!

How to do?Now Xue Rengui has just set off, and it is not yet known whether he can defeat the Wa Kingdom in the future!

I don't know if I can make them retreat.

Now another Japanese army is advancing.

So what to do?what should I do?In Li Shimin's mind, these three words kept repeating.

How to do?
Before investing a lot of money to strengthen the frontier.

Looking at it now, he felt it was the right choice.

But how long can those things last?
Li Shimin asked: "External forces have gathered in the northeast, and it's still freezing and the mountains are covered with ice and snow. Why did they suddenly act again? Did Yuchi Jingde say anything?"

The eunuch said: "General Yuchi said it. Because the heavy snow in the Northeast this year has melted a little faster than in previous years, and now the thickness of the ice and snow is decreasing. They gathered the performance of the army. According to General Yuchi's guess, these people must be looking for an opportunity to ask for help." Attack!"

If these people are entrenched in the Northeast all year round, the consumption will be very high.

In addition, the ice and snow melted, so they wanted to take the risk and try it. After all, once they entered the land of Tang Dynasty, there would be less ice and snow.

You can also get supplies.

"This, let me think about it!"

In the end, Li Shimin couldn't think of a way out.

Directly ordered: "Come on, come to court!"

After receiving the order, the eunuch went out to summon the officials.

At the same time, the news about Wa's upcoming attack spread directly throughout the court.

All officials are starting to worry.

But no one dared to spread the news.

I am afraid that the people will panic.

They were called to Daming Palace.

Everyone's expressions became panicked.

At the same time, they were also discussing that Li Shimin called them over because the Wa country was about to attack.

And when Li Shimin appeared, everyone kept silent.

Until he sat on the dragon chair.

All salute him.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Li Shimin's complexion was not very good, and he could feel that he was very tired.

After all, when this happened, whose face would be good.

All civil and military officials dared not speak.

Until Fang Xuanling asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you summoned us to enter the court at this time?"

Li Shimin sighed.

Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.

He is straightforward.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, tell me directly, and let the ministers solve your problems for you!"

Many other officials have expressed their concern.

"I just received a piece of news that the coalition forces of the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo are now approaching the northeast of our side. I am very troubled now. Can all my loves help?"

Cheng Yaojin said at this time: "The enemy army is about to invade our Tang Dynasty. This is undoubtedly provoking our Tang Tianwei. I think, let Yuchi Jingde conquer them! Otherwise, let me go! Let me lead the army Go and teach them a lesson!"

So did the other generals.

They are scrambling to fight for Li Shimin!Fight for Datang!

This made Li Shimin very pleased.

But there is a huge problem in front of them.

Li Shimin said: "How much money is in the treasury now?"

Dai Zhou came forward and said: "There are not many left! Because of the Chinese New Year, all major merchants are closed, production is also stagnant, and taxes are pitifully low!"

It's common sense that you can't fight wars without money.

This is also one of the things that Li Shimin is worried about.

But Cheng Yaojin came out and said: "Your Majesty, I can donate 100 million taels to fill the treasury!"

He made a lot of money with Li Yin.

When Datang is in crisis, he will also contribute money.

This is one of the reasons why Li Shimin trusts him.

Fang Xuanling also said: "I can also donate 100 million taels!"

More and more people are joining in.

But the total number of these people is less than 1000 million taels.

You know, taking the previous incident as an example, Li Shimin spent [-] million to repair the line of defense.

What can this 1000 million taels do?
It can only be maintained for a short period of time. When the money is gone, there is nothing left.

This is the terrible thing about war, because there are more people and more consumption.

This is also the reason why Datang took many years to restore its national strength when it was established.

Because it cost too much money to overthrow the Sui Dynasty at that time, and many people died.

War brings endless suffering to people.

Those who can make peace don't want war.

"Your kindness, I appreciate it! But this money is still a drop in the bucket for the war! Moreover, it is your wealth, so I can't take this money!"

Li Shimin refused.

At this time, an old man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I remember that when the son-in-law entered the court, he brought a lot of money..."

Xue Rengui brought in a lot of money at that time.

In addition to Xue Rengui's shares in Shengtang Group, he has a lot of money.

So, someone was after his money.

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yaojin was upset.

"Master Yang! Those are the money that the sixth prince gave to the son-in-law, how can we think so? After all, you are also the emperor's son-in-law, right? Why don't you pay!?"

That old man is exactly Yang Shidao!The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the youngest son of Yang Xiong, King Guande of the Sui Dynasty, and the younger brother of Yang Gongren, the Ling of Zhongshu.

Yang Shidao was born in the Guanwangfang of the Yang family in Hongnong.Pure goodness.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he defected to Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, married Princess Guiyang, and worshiped Yitong and his son-in-law Duwei.

At this time, Xue Rengui came out because the court had no money.

If you can borrow money from the concubine, then you can use your own money, why not?
But because of this, Cheng Yaojin was hard-pressed.

But Yang Shidao said: "I don't have any money! It's not as rich as the son-in-law, and he is backed by the Shengtang Group! If you can pay, then as a son-in-law, it's perfect!"

No, his idea actually aroused the approval of some people.
