Chapter 603: The ruler and the minister meet(2/2)
Because at this time, Li Shimin was afraid that he would be surrounded by the people in the market.
After walking a while, Li Shimin let out a sigh and couldn't help but say, "This Chen Zhengtai is very skilled in martial arts and has great skills in Wenzhi. I look at it all the way, so I feel so touched."
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but say: "It seems that if our Tang Dynasty adds several states here in the future, it will make this place of Liaodong and Lelang never rebel."
Li Shimin said: "Yes, the most worrying thing about this border is that people are dissatisfied with each other. If they are inclined to rebel, even if they take over, they will not be able to last long."
As the two said, they continued to move forward with their guards and approached the domestic city, but they saw many laborers repairing the roads. Soon, the domestic city finally arrived.
The entire domestic city was peaceful. Although there were many signs of fire burning, people began to repair their houses one after another.
At the city gate, there are announcements, which are mostly for the people to safeguard the people. In addition, there are people who have suffered losses due to the war and given some compensation. In addition, some refugees who have no homes anymore, so they use labor-for-relief methods and spend money to hire them to repair roads.
Zhang Qian was already moving quickly and headed into the city first.
After a while, Chen Zhengtai and the generals came towards him in a hurry.
Chen Zhengtai was extremely intimate when he saw Li Shimin.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and turned over and dismounted.
The father-in-law and son-in-law have not seen each other for a long time, but they fight each other. In less than half a year, too many things have happened. When we meet at this time, it seems like we are reuniting after a long separation.
Chen Zhengtai saluted: "Son-in-law..."
Li Shimin grabbed his arm: "Stop talking, don't tell me these polite conspiracies, I'm doing... ready?"
"Uh... I'm sending someone to someone..."
Li Shimin shook his head: "I am also a soldier. I am easy to support. I can have rich clothes and food, and I can also eat simple food. I am in Liaodong, but I have been eating steamed cakes for three months... So, there is no need to make anything, I can live in a place."
Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, saying that, if he didn't clean up today, who knows when the old debt will be brought up?
Chen Zhengtai said, "If this fails, Your Majesty is a daughter-in-law, how can you do it at will?"
A few greetings.
Li Shimin immediately said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Ah?" Chen Zhengtai said: "What's going on."
Li Shimin angrily said, "You deceive the emperor and the emperor, can you still dare to hide it now?"
Chen Zhengtai felt guilty and hurriedly said, "Please move your Majesty to the palace first."
The rubble of this palace has long been cleared. Some of the well-preserved palaces have become Li Shimin's temporary residence.
Li Shimin entered the hall, sat down, and Zhang Qian poured tea.
Chen Zhengtai and Changsun Wuji stood on the left and right.
Li Shimin took a sip of tea: "You really sold Goguryeo people's heavy armor?"
Chen Zhengtai nodded honestly: "Yes."
"How many deputy?" Li Shimin couldn't help asking.
Chen Zhengtai stretched out five fingers.
Li Shimin said in surprise: "There are five hundred pairs?"
Chen Zhengtai shook his head guiltily.
"What?" Li Shimin widened his eyes: "Five thousand? Do you know what... 5 thousand pairs of heavy armor mean? To put it bluntly, isn't it different from the capitalist thieves?"
"Your Majesty." Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Shimin deeply: "Actually... it is fifty thousand mates!"
Obviously...poverty restricted Li Shimin's imagination.
Just five hundred and five thousand, Li Shimin was about to stamp his feet, but when he was about fifty thousand, he was actually calm. After all... the stimulation was so great that he made his nerves a little confused.
"Fifty thousand pairs of heavy armor, why didn't they report in advance?"
"Because the matter is of great importance, my son is afraid of the leak. Of course, my son is not afraid of the leak of His Majesty, but rather..." Chen Zhengtai glanced at Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian: “…”
"In addition..." Chen Zhengtai said: "This Goguryeo is a detailed work in Chang'an. If you want to do a fake show, you must seem that the Chen family has been acting secretly. If Your Majesty knows, then the Chen family will be unable to do it and be nervous. This matter is too big. If the Chen family has a slight flaw and is seen through, then... it is very likely... to eventually terminate the transaction. This transaction... is of great importance and is related to Goguryeo's strategy. Your Majesty still remembers that the son-in-law promised His Majesty that within half a year, the son-in-law will definitely break Goguryeo. So... all this revolves around Goguryeo."
Li Shimin said suspiciously: "Selling heavy armor has something to do with breaking Goguryeo?"
He still couldn't understand.
This also includes Zhang Qian and Changsun Wuji.
Chen Zhengtai smiled and then said, "Of course it has a significant relationship. Because... if facts have proved that it is difficult to break through military affairs if you want to win a country like Goguryeo. Throughout the years, all dynasties have secretly occupied this place and occupied the mountains as kings. The Central Plains dynasties have no choice but to deal with them. On the one hand, it is because the place is bitter and cold. On the other hand, it is because it is far away from the Central Plains. The climate, geography, and folk customs here are only based on simple military affairs, unless the court makes up its mind to raise troops to scoop the country, regardless of cost, there is a possibility of victory. Emperor Yang of Sui has proved this."
