Chen Zhengtai stood up obediently, coughed, and then said, "Your Majesty, my son is here."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a heartbroken heart and sighed, "I really regret not listening to your words. Otherwise, why are you so today... Then the rebellious son is foolish, but... This evil son is the governor of Taiyuan and is also named King of Jin. I have been too arrogant for years. Since he has been too arrogant, there will be signs of his rebellion, and the people in the world will definitely recruit countless dead soldiers for him. King Wei of Jin led accomplice to the tiger. This Taiyuan city... The walls are high, and I want to send troops to suppress them. I don't know how many people are, because of the behavior of this evil son, I will suffer a lot of disaster. I will do my own thing, causing a huge disaster."

This is also the difference between a wise ruler and a foolish ruler.

If it is a foolish lord, when encountering this situation, the first thing that comes to mind is that I seem to be a little dissatisfied with my face. The guy named Chen Zhengtai said before that Li You would rebel, but now he is really rebel. Doesn’t this mean that I am stupid and incompetent? At this time, Chen Zhengtai must be proud. If he fails, he will have to kill this guy and kill him, and the problem will be solved.

The first thing Mingjun thought of was that he seemed to have made a mistake, and this mistake may have to be borne by countless people.

The Taiyuan soldiers and civilians who were enslaved were about to recruit officers and soldiers to fight against the thieves. At that time, countless people were corpses everywhere and many wives and children were separated. When they thought about this, they would inevitably feel like a knife.

Li Shimin is a little good. When it is time to admit his mistake, he admits his mistake without any ambiguity.

Chen Zhengtai comforted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is because Your Majesty loves his son, and everyone has the feelings of licking his baby. If a person does not love his son, what is the difference between him and a beast? This is because Your Majesty values ​​feelings, but... the sons never thought that Your Majesty's love for his son did not bring Li You's sudden remorse, but instead made him even more arrogant and let down His Majesty's beauty."

Li Shimin sighed, feeling a little confused for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

Because no matter how sad you feel in your heart, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, the harm caused will cause the world that has finally been peaceful and will continue to fall into chaos.

The Tang Dynasty could not withstand civil strife.

So Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked around: "Li Jing..."

"I'm here."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said, "How many soldiers do I need to take down Taiyuan City immediately?"

Li Jing wandered for a moment. If it were someone else, like Cheng Yaojin, he would be afraid that as soon as he spoke, he would make a bold statement. Your Majesty gave me ten thousand soldiers and I would tie Li You to see him.

But Li Jing is different. Li Jing is a person who considers the overall situation and does not fight unprepared battles. He pondered for a moment: "The city defense of Taiyuan was built once when the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor. After that, Li You wrote a letter to request the allocation of money and grain, and then repaired it again. This is a strong city in the world. The food and grass in the city are also very sufficient. If the King of Jin defends his life and our official army wants to seize the city within three months, it is probably not easy. First of all, the food and grass will go first, and there will be a large number of attacks. All the equipment of the city must be prepared as soon as possible, and a large army will be recruited after that. The battle of besieging the city is the most difficult. There are military tactics, so they will surround them ten times and attack them five times. I hope that the enemy will be lenient. After the King of Jin rebelled, all the people in the city will follow the thief. With his guards, the dead soldiers, the cavalry and some of the troops who followed him, I am afraid that the number of people is around 30,000. Among them, there are more than 10,000 people. If the official army wants to encircle and suppress the city, it needs at least 10,000 troops and horses, and advance water and land at the same time before it can be taken down."

Li Shimin frowned. The scene described by Li Jing would be an arduous siege battle.

If you really attack the city, inside and outside the city will be regarded as mortal enemies and will continue to kill.

Li Shimin sneered: "Since this is the case, I ordered Li Ji to be the chief general, and the troops of the Jiuzhou Prefectures of Fahuai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun and Hai were attacked by the Jiuzhou Prefectures."

Li Jing saluted: "Here."

"In March, I will definitely take down Li You. When siege, there is no eye on the sword, so there is no need to worry about whether I will hurt that evil son, regardless of whether I will live or not."

Li Jing saluted again: "The Ministry of War will raise the situation."

After Li Shimin said that, he looked at the silent ministers, and the ministers were silent one by one, which made Li Shimin both anxious and a little embarrassed.

Could it be that I was really wrong when I was in Xuanwu Gate?

So much so, will God punish me like this?

Then he thought of countless people. Such a large-scale war would be a thousand miles away and the bones would be exposed in the wild. So he felt even more anxious, and he wished he could lead the army in person.

But... he held back his complicated thoughts, but then said: "Issue a manifesto and ask the army to attack the government and not hurt the people. But the soldiers and people of Taiyuan know that they were being held captive by the thief, so I will only kill the evildoers, and do not care about the rest."

In fact, Li Shimin knew better than anyone else that this was just a matter of repairing the dead, but it was actually too late.

He has attacked countless cities and knew that the terrible siege battles were terrible. Once the siege began, all men above the wheel in Taiyuan City would have to be organized into defenders to assist in defending the city, and would definitely cause a large number of casualties to the siege army. Once the siege army was too many casualties, the anger in his heart would not be able to be vented. At that time, he would really be red-eyed. Who cares if you are a commoner or not? If you don’t kill a corpse and blood flows into a river, how can you stop?

He sat down and suddenly remembered something: "There is a man named Di Renjie... This person reported in advance, saying that he had discovered the rebellion of King Jin?"

"Your Majesty, this person is Di Renjie." Chen Zhengtai said.

Li Shimin said: "A young man, so desperate, and no one in Taiyuan discovered the intention of King Jin? I don't believe it. All of this is my fault. Those who discovered that King Jin's rebellion knew that I and King Jin were father and son, so naturally they did not dare to report to the court, afraid that I would punish him. As a result... it was a young man who told the truth. Where is this man named Di Renjie?"

Chen Zhengtai said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, he stays at my doorstep all day long."

"Huh?" Li Shimin said suspiciously: "What is he doing at your doorstep?"

"He hopes that his sons can save the people of Taiyuan."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "The military and civilians in Taiyuan are no longer saved."

When he said this, Li Shimin felt abrupt again. As the emperor, he should be excited at this time, rather than saying such depressing words.

Chen Zhengtai coughed: "Actually... I did send someone to Taiyuan and want to give it a try."

"What?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai.

In fact, many people in the court's civil and military affairs were already extremely anxious.

You know... Taiyuan is not a small place, it is a place where dragons rise, so... there are many aristocratic children who travel to Taiyuan. What's more, there are also many royal families and royal relatives in this Taiyuan city... Not to mention, some disciples and old officials have been in Taiyuan long ago.

Taiyuan is in danger now, and God knows how many of the ten people in it can survive.

Now that I heard that Chen Zhengtai had made preparations in advance, many people who were depressed suddenly became energetic.

"So you have planned it a long time ago. Tell me quickly how many soldiers you sent?" Li Shimin was like a man who fell into the water and grabbed the life-saving straw.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Two were sent."

"Two military horses?" Li Shimin frowned: "Why didn't I get a report in advance?"

"No, how dare I transfer troops? Even if I eat Xiongxin and leopard courage, I will not dare to mobilize a soldier easily. The two people sent by me..."

"Two...people..."

A needle suddenly fell in the hall and it smelled.

The person who originally looked at Chen Zhengtai with hope immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.

Li Shimin was speechless.

"But... these two are amazing, one of them is called..." Chen Zhengtai cheered up and couldn't help but want to report.

"Okay, I'm not energetic today, so I'll leave the court." Li Shimin waved his hand, and waved his hand lazily.

All the officials had already scattered.

The monarch and ministers are not interested now, so they all left in an instant.

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

I haven't finished speaking yet.

These assholes.

Don’t you give me any face?

Looking at the empty hall, Chen Zhengtai was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he didn't know what happened to Wei Zheng and the others now.

This is going deep into the tiger's den, God knows if there will be any danger.

So Chen Zhengtai was very concerned about their safety, and even Chen Zhengtai hoped to talk to the chief manager Li Ji at that time, so that when he was attacking the city, he must pay attention to Wei Zheng and Chen Aihe in the city. Although this trip was dangerous, it was still necessary to rescue him.

Chen Zhengtai walked out of the hall, but saw the ministers disperse one after another. Many people seemed to be eager to return to the mansion, wanting to ask their family members, whether anyone among their relatives and children was in Taiyuan.

There are many relatives and many disciples and old officials, so there are too many people to care about... there are too many people.

Chen Zhengtai also quickly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and headed all the way to the Tai Chi Gate.

But I saw someone in front of me in a daze, lowering his head, looking deaf, and just burying his head forward.

This person is Hou Junji.

Hou Junji's face today was very bad.

When he heard the news of Li You's rebellion, he was so scared that he was scattered.

He is now appointed as the Minister of Personnel. This is Li Shimin's courtesy to him and also expresses his trust in him.

And the prince has always regarded himself as his confidant.

Originally, for Hou Junji, this was a good deck, and no matter what, he would not lose his wealth.

But this time... he smelled a crisis approaching.

I was ordered to investigate Li You and went to Taiyuan, but I just took a quick trip.

In fact, this is understandable. Your Majesty doesn't want to investigate his son at all. He just wants to calm the rumors and let himself go.

Hou Junji speculated on the emperor's heart and naturally knew His Majesty's psychology. So he made a circle very "smart" and returned to Chang'an to prove that Li You had never rebelled.

But who knows... Li You turned against... This bastard, his mind was really turned against him.

Your Majesty did not pursue this matter today.

But this matter... will come out sooner or later.

After all, everyone is concerned about suppressing the rebellion now, but when the accounts are settled in the autumn, they will inevitably have their own share.

And at that time, will Your Majesty still trust himself?

He was in a daze and looked up in confusion, but saw Chen Zhengtai passing by him again.

At this time... Hou Junji had a strange thought.

Why... Chen Zhengtai can succeed every time he crow's mouth?

Chen Zhengtai clearly felt the gaze projected by Hou Junji, so he turned around and looked at each other.

Hou Junji said restlessly: "Your Highness."
To be continued...
