Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1234 Xue Yantuo
The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly relaxed a lot.

Wei Zheng seemed to be paralyzed on the ground at that moment.

His life was finally saved.

But at this moment, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows at Wei Zheng again, and said, "Although I am conferring on Li Jiancheng, you can be spared the death penalty, but the life penalty is inevitable."

For this, Wei Zheng had already expected it, so he was not particularly nervous.

"The minister is punished by the Holy One."

Li Shimin nodded, and then punished Wei Zheng. This punishment was relatively not very serious, that is, Wei Zheng's official position was lowered, but he was still a speech officer, and he could impeach some things in the court. criticize.

What's more, he was fined one year's salary.

Unlike people like Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng was still in business on weekdays, and he didn't have much military exploits, so his family's daily expenses depended entirely on his salary, and punishing him with one year's salary was not too small for Wei Zheng.

At least during this time, the people in their house are much more frugal.

After this punishment, Li Shimin let Wei Zheng leave the palace.

After Wei Zheng left the palace, he hurried to the mansion.

And not long after Wei Zheng left the palace, the news had already spread in Chang'an City.

The eldest grandson queen of the harem was the first to hear the news.

Hearing that Wei Zheng had returned to the mansion, Empress Changsun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Wei Zheng around, it would not be easy for Wen Rou to confuse Li Shimin.

Whenever Li Shimin looks a little obsessed with women, Wei Zheng will lead people into the harem, right?

Maybe Wei Zheng couldn't help him completely solve Wenrou, but at least he added some difficulties to Wenrou, so that Wenrou had more opponents, so that no one could shake his position in the harem.

When Empress Changsun heard the news, Ruan Ruan had already heard about it.

And when she knew that Li Shimin didn't kill Wei Zheng, and didn't even punish Wei Zheng, her gentle face became a little ugly.

Originally, he thought that even if Li Shimin didn't kill Wei Zheng, he would definitely not keep Wei Zheng in the capital, but now, Wei Zheng is still in the capital and still the spokesperson. In this case, it may still be difficult for him and Li Yuanjing's plan to be implemented.

"Damn, how could this be."

Wenrou can almost imagine Li Yuanjing's angry look when he heard the news.

All their efforts fell short again, and then they were afraid they would have to start all over again.

Li Yuanjing must be angry.

The weather was hot, this afternoon, Cheng Yaojin and the others went to Qin Tian's residence together.

"You boy, not bad, not bad."

As soon as he came, Cheng Yaojin praised Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian who praised Qin Tian felt slightly depressed, as if some danger was about to happen.

"Lu Guogong, where did these words come from?"

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said, "Don't think we don't know, that veteran Wei Zheng was able to leave the prison alive, it must be your help. You let Tang Rong enter the palace, you think we don't know?"

These people are all planted in the palace. It is not difficult for them to know what happened in the palace.

Tang Rong didn't enter the palace very often, but this time she entered the palace suddenly, and then Wei Zheng came back to life. What happened, they didn't have to think about it, they should understand what was going on.

A group of people said to Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian smiled wryly, and suddenly felt that there were some things that were not so easy to hide.

In summer, the weather is hot.

Xue Yantuo in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Yantuo was originally only a small country, and it has always been under the control of the Turks.

To put it bluntly, they are a vassal state of Turks.

However, after the Turks were wiped out by Li Shimin, they got rid of the control of the Turks and gradually became the most powerful country in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Yantuo, like the Turks, is also composed of many tribes, and now their Khan is Zhenzhu Khan.

Zhenzhu Khan did not control Xue Yantuo for a long time, only a few years. During these few years, because there was no control and oppression by the Turks, their development was relatively rapid.

Under the leadership of Zhenzhu Khan, Xue Yantuo's strength can also be said to be unprecedentedly strong. The soldiers and horses of each tribe add up to 10,000+ people.

In Zhenzhu Khan's view, such a force of troops can make a great cause.

Even facing Datang, they don't have to be afraid at all.

But at this time, something happened inside Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo Palace, Zhenzhu Khan's office, a thin man stood beside Zhenzhu Khan, Zhenzhu Khan was a bit fat, in his thirties, he was handsome.

However, his slightly chubby handsome face was full of sadness at this moment.

"Luo Li, although I, Xue Yantuo, are powerful, the strength of the tribes has also increased a lot. The leaders of these tribes are not easy to save fuel. One or two can control them with my soldiers and horses, but If they all turned against each other, I am afraid it will not end well, and now those little khans of them have ambitions, what do you think should be done?"

Xue Yantuo's tribe is powerful, and Xue Yantuo has become powerful. However, after a small tribe becomes strong, they will feel that they are very powerful, and they are not very willing to obey the management of Zhenzhu Khan. They also want more.

This situation has happened several times one after another, but it made Zhenzhu Khan a little uneasy.

Raleigh is one of his advisers, with great ability and resourcefulness.

Now being asked, Luo Li pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty Khan, if you want to unite Xue Yantuo's tribes and control them better, the best way is to launch a war. Once a war breaks out, They can only hug us together, and when the war starts, their strength will also be weakened, we take the opportunity to annex other tribes, gradually become stronger, and then no one dares to disrespect us."

When he said this, Luo Li touched his beard. After hearing this, Zhenzhu Khan felt that it made sense, so he asked, "That's right, that's right, but who are we going to wage war on?"

Raleigh thought for a while and said, "Da Tang."

When the word Datang was said, the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed to freeze, and Zhenzhu Khan's face became a little ugly. After a long time, he finally said: "Datang is powerful, even the Turks are not their opponents. , how could our Xue Yantuo be their opponents, I'm afraid your method won't work, right?"

Luo Li smiled slightly and said: "In the past, I, Xue Yantuo, would not be the opponent of the Tang army, but now Tubo is going to fight against the Tang. How powerful is the Tang, and can it accept the siege of two countries?"
