Capital Datang

In the study next to the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace.Li Shimin was looking at the map of the newly established Xizhou and Tingzhou at his desk. He rejected Li Yin's opinion at the meeting today and insisted on escorting Hou Junji back to Chang'an. Now he is thinking about the various impacts of this move. In particular, how will the countries of the Western Regions and the Western Turks react?

But just at this moment, a big eunuch suddenly reported outside the door: "Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi begs to see you!"

"Liulang? Let him in!" Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this. He had been informed by the palace servants that Li Yin had left the imperial city after staying with Concubine Yang for a while, but why did he come back at this time?

When Li Shimin put away the map on the table, he looked up and saw Li Yin coming in.It's just that Li Shimin's face was startled at this time, because Li Yin's expression was very strange, not to mention happiness and worry, as if mixed with a trace of inexplicable weirdness.

"I pay homage to my father!" Although Li Yin had a strange expression on his face, he did not forget the etiquette. The latest news, you will be very happy to hear one of them, as for the other..." Capital Datang 178

When Li Yin said this, the weird expression on his face became even more intense, "Cough...Father, let's talk about the first news first!"

Li Shimin didn't know what Li Yin was doing, but when he heard the news about Silla and Baekje, his heart was moved, because he thought of the Queen of Silla that he still couldn't forget.At the beginning, he withdrew his troops from Pyongyang and handed over all the affairs of Silla and Baekje to Li Yin. Now it seems that there is finally some news.

The first news is for Datang.It is indeed good news. At the beginning, Li Shimin deliberately lost the homeland of Goguryeo east of Pyongyang to Silla and Baekje, but the hatred between the two countries has accumulated for hundreds of years. This keeps a tense balance between the two countries. Now that Goguryeo is gone, Datang not only doesn't care.And it also secretly provoked, so the relationship between the two countries is increasingly tense, especially in the newly occupied land.There is almost constant conflict.

According to the news that Wu Meiniang passed on to Li Min, both Silla and Baekje are now in a state of preparation for war, and the young men in the middle and middle schools are in the slack time.They must receive military training, and at the same time, the two countries are also actively contacting the surrounding Datang states, hoping to purchase some ordnance and food.And according to Wu Meiniang's estimate, after the next year's autumn harvest at the latest, a fierce national war will break out between the two countries.

"Okay!" Li Shimin clapped the dragon case happily after hearing this, stood up and walked back and forth a few times, and then excitedly said to Li Yin, "Silla and Baekje have a deep hatred, if the two countries go to war, they will definitely use Go all out. Although Baekje's strength is weaker, there is a Japanese country next to it to help, so it is really hard to predict who will win in the end, but one thing is certain, that is, the war between the two countries will definitely not be in a short time. It’s over. Play by ear at that time, you will definitely get the most benefits from it, and it’s not impossible to even destroy the two countries in one fell swoop!”

"My father is wise, and my son thinks so too. A Goguryeo came out of the land of the Three Hans, which posed a great threat to our Central Plains dynasty. Although Goguryeo is destroyed now, the remaining Silla and Baekje may not be able to become the next generation." One Goguryeo, so these two small countries must not stay!" Li Yin said with a rare expression of ambition.

"Fortunately, the national strength of these two small countries is too weak, and it takes a long time to prepare for a war. If it is really as we expected, the war will not break out until the next year's autumn harvest, and you will have time by then. Wait for them After a few months, you will be able to return to Dengzhou to sit on the battlefield yourself, as for what effect you can achieve, it all depends on your means!" Li Shimin looked at Li Yin's expression, but showed a satisfied smile Said.

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely not have any country that threatens our Tang Dynasty in the land of Sanhan!" Li Yin also showed strong confidence, for Silla, Baekje, and even overseas countries. Wa country has already been listed by him as a country that must be destroyed.

After talking about the good news, it was time for Li Yin to say the second thing, but the expression on his face was hesitant and somewhat embarrassed, and after a while he said: "Cough~, father Emperor, do you still remember the Queen of Silla?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback, looked around with a guilty conscience, and found that there were only their father and son in the study, he was relieved, and said with some blame: "Liu Lang, don't mention that matter in the palace from now on!"

He didn't want to mention the grievance in Li Yin's heart, but something went wrong there!

"Father, I have to mention it, because a strange incident happened in Silla during this period, and it was related to the queen!" Li Yin said with a wry smile.

"Oh, it has something to do with Deman?" Li Shimin showed a look of surprise on his face. Although he and the Queen of Silla are just a dewy couple, after a few days of getting along, if there is no half-hearted friendship, then Absolutely deceiving.

"Father, according to the information obtained by the subordinates, the Queen of Silla has not summoned the ministers for more than two months. The usual government orders are all given by her cousin, the one we saw last time who pretended to be a maid." The little girl communicated to the outside world that she will not be seen by anyone who asks to see her." When Li Yin said this, he stopped and looked at Li Shimin, hoping that the other party could guess something.

Li Shimin heard that the Queen of Silla hadn't shown up for such a long time, and there was a look of anxiety on his face. After walking back and forth for a few steps, he suddenly asked, "Liulang, did Deman get killed?" She is under house arrest, that's why she hasn't been able to come forward. After all, she is the king of a woman, and there must be many people in the country who oppose it. In addition, the battle of Goguryeo left Silla's domestic troops empty. Deman is now attracted by Baekje. Keep all your attention, if those who oppose her take the opportunity to attack, then it is likely to succeed!"

Hearing such a 'reasonable' conjecture from the other party, Li Yin despised it in his heart. This was obviously Li Shimin's occupational disease as an emperor. He only thought that others would usurp power, but he didn't think in other directions at all.

"Father, although your conjecture is very reasonable, it has been ruled out through the investigation of my subordinates, because several ministers in Silla who opposed the queen did not make any changes during this period, and the queen's freedom It wasn't restricted, and my people were also very "confused" at first, but they didn't get any accurate news until they bought a doctor who was close to the queen." Li Yin raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, Then he continued, "The Queen of Silla is pregnant, and she has been pregnant for six months so far!"

"What?" When Li Shimin heard the news, he almost lay down on the table in shock. Counting the days, he and the Queen of Silla did have a spring breeze six months ago, and he also knew clearly that Queen Kinderman was a A woman who is clean and self-sufficient, even when she met herself, the other party was still a virgin, but now she suddenly became pregnant. Apart from him, there is probably no second object of suspicion.

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and then asked Li Yin in embarrassment: "Liu Lang, do you think this child belongs to me?" Capital Datang 178

Li Yin rolled his eyes after hearing this, thinking that you have done a good thing yourself, but now you ask me who the child is, how should I answer this?Although he thought so in his heart, Li Yin naturally didn't dare to say so, hesitated for a while and said with a wry smile: "Father, you must also know that the Queen of Silla has always had a good reputation in China, and since the fall of Goguryeo, our People have been paying close attention to the country of Silla, and during this period, they did not find out that the queen had any relationship with any man, and after counting the days, I am afraid that there will be no one else except you!"

In fact, Li Shimin already believed in his heart that the child in the queen's womb must be his own. The reason why he asked Li Yin was just to hear the other party's affirmative answer.However, Li Shimin is a generation of emperors after all, and things are more complicated to consider. After knowing that he has another child who is about to be born, he can't help but feel very troubled, because Kinderman is the queen of Silla after all. After the child is born, what to do with it is another very difficult problem.

Regarding the Queen's pregnancy in Silla, Wu Meiniang didn't pay much attention to the news after receiving the news. After all, in her opinion, the Queen's pregnancy is just the other party's private matter and has little impact on national affairs. The intelligence she had analyzed, but she couldn't find the father of the child, made her feel strange, so she passed it on to Li Yin, otherwise Wu Meiniang might have disposed of the information as garbage.

When Li Yin saw the news, he was no less shocked than Li Shimin, because he and Li Shimin had already made plans for Silla, but now the Queen of Silla is pregnant, and the child is still Li Shimin's. Forget it, if it is the prince, it will not be easy to explain in the future.

Fortunately, this incident was provoked by Li Shimin, so after Li Min reported the incident, there is nothing left for him to do. The headache is also the emperor's father's business. Let him decide how to deal with it. Just follow the other party's orders.

I saw Li Shimin walking around in the study room, his brows frowning into Sichuan characters, and he was obviously very distressed by this.However, he is a decisive person after all. Although he attaches great importance to matters of family affection, if it affects the major affairs of the country, he will still put the major issues first without hesitation.

So in the end Li Shimin stopped, turned around and said to Li Yin: "Liulang, what did you plan before, and what to do in the future, don't worry about this child, but..."

When Li Shimin said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then he was obviously a little embarrassed and said: "But Liulang, if there is a chance in the future, can you find a way to secretly send Deman's mother and son to Chang'an? Flesh and blood, I can't bear to let it suffer too much!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
