The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 872 Defending Li Chengqian
Just when Li Shimin was happy, a eunuch suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty! The slave has something to report!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me!"

"The homing pigeons that were released from the frontier have returned one by one. The little one is also collecting these letters, please have a look at your Majesty."

After they finished, they submitted letters one by one.

These letters are too many to read.

So, Li Shimin said: "Fang Xuanling, call a few people to take a look for me! And sum it up, let me hear it!"

He was very interested.

Thanks to the fact that the telegram is about to play a role in Datang.

He is naturally very happy.

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling led a group of civil servants to summarize the letters and read them together.

These literati moved very quickly, and it only took a while to complete the summary of these dozens of letters.

Before it was finished, Li Shimin stared at the telegram like playing with a toy, and occasionally leaned over to click it twice.

"Your Majesty, it has been fully summarized!"

Fang Xuanling said at this time.

"Oh? Tell me! How many copies are there?"

"A total of [-] letters came back this time, and all letters expressed support for the telegram. There are also a few letters that are particularly sincere."

"Ok?"

Li Shimin realized that something seemed wrong.

"I asked someone to send 81 copies, and only [-] came back? Whose one didn't come back?"

"It seems to be... is..."

Fang Xuanling said hesitantly.

"who is it?"

"I haven't seen a reply from the First Prince!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he slammed the table.

"What did you say? That kid didn't reply!? What is he doing!"

Logically speaking, shouldn't Li Chengqian help him?
Why didn't you have any intention of supporting yourself?
Fang Xuanling said:

"Yes, there is indeed no letter from the eldest prince here!"

At this time someone said: "Is it delayed on the road? Or is there something wrong with the pigeon?"

"How about we wait a little longer?"

But it was quickly rejected.

"If there was an accident, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, would it?"

"Who knows! What if it was really an accident?"

An accident or not, everyone quarreled.

Li Shimin has his own judgment.

"Enough, I naturally have a conclusion!"

Everyone fell silent.

It seems that Li Chengqian still failed to obey the discipline.

Regarding his behavior, Li Shimin said that it seems that the eldest son is useless.

In other words, he disagreed with his decision to take down the telegram.

Otherwise, how could you not say a word?
But whether he agrees or not.

Li Shimin has to do it.

"Gan'er's priority is to put the telegraph and personnel in place. Also, when the telegraph arrives, he will report what he has done every day. I want to know what he is doing! And, every once in a while, people will be sent to Check there! That kid, I am really worried!"

Since Li Chengqian had this attitude, he felt that he had to be stricter.

Otherwise, sorry for myself.

Li Shimin, who was originally happy, now looks gloomy.

But when he saw these one hundred telegraphs, he felt at ease again.

These things are what he fought for.

"Fortunately, I won these one hundred telegraph machines! Otherwise, I wouldn't know what some people did in private! Now, with these telegraph machines, who dares to mess around!?"

His decision also caused some people to shout directly: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt better.

"Okay, as for the remaining telegraphs, find a time, send an army escort, and send them to the frontier and everywhere!"

"Yes!"

Being so cautious, it can be seen how much Li Shimin attaches importance to this matter.

Directly sent the army to escort it.

Of course, this one cost him a lot of money, so can you ignore it?
If it falls into the hands of thieves, he will not sleep well.

The importance of these telegraphs was centralization.

He had thought about it before, but he couldn't find a suitable way to implement it.

And now?

With it, he can achieve exactly what his heart desires.

This is everything an emperor wants.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin laughed again.

As for the civil and military officials below, they were shocked.

What about the emperor?
Why put it there and laugh?
Was it stimulated by Li Chengqian?
He didn't stop laughing until another message came in.

I saw another eunuch came.

He shouted: "Your Majesty, there is something to do!"

"what happened?"

Why is this happening again?

The eunuch has not yet spoken.

Li Shimin asked again: "Did the letter come from Gan'er?"

It seems that he still cares about Li Chengqian, but he has his support.

"No, no, Your Majesty!"

"What is that, tell me!"

"It's from Tubo... Tubo's place..."

The eunuch spoke somewhat hesitantly.

It made Li Shimin anxious.

"Bastard, tell me! Are you going to die in a hurry?"

"There are people from Tubo."

The news seems to be bad.

Because at this time Li Chengqian went to help Tuyuhun, and Tubo sent people to come over.

Most of them are not good.

"What are they coming for? Where are they? Who is it?"

Li Shimin asked three questions directly.

"Your Majesty, it's Lu Dongzan who is here again! They are heading towards the tenement building now! I don't know what they are doing this time!"

said the eunuch.

Li Shimin was also a little puzzled.

Lu Dongzan just came here last time.

Why are you here again.

This may also be the last time this year.

Why, because it is going to be winter, and the mountains may be blocked by heavy snow, and the road to Datang will become difficult.

It's not that you can't come, but when you go back, it will be a little dangerous.

At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "Could it be that the telegram was exposed?"

This is perhaps the most reasonable explanation.

If this is the case, then Li Shimin was in too much of a hurry.

In fact, he didn't have to tell these people, just let the telegraph and personnel be in place.

But he was so happy that he passed the letter directly by flying pigeons.

Someone else said, "Did they capture the First Prince's carrier pigeon?"

This is also possible.

It is even possible that they got information from Li Chengqian.

That is the so-called infiltration, they infiltrated into Li Chengqian's defenders.

Either way, that's bad.

"This is just your speculation. You can't say anything until the truth comes out!"

Li Shimin finally said this.

Even so, I was still very puzzled.

Then, he said: "Let someone go to Li Min to inquire about the news and see what these Tubo people are going to do!"

"Yes!"

As a result, Li Shimin's spies headed towards the tenement building.

It's a pity that the tenement building is too high, and they can't get in at all.

Can only listen to the side knock.

As for before they arrived, Lu Dongzan had already gone up to the tenement building.
