The slices of lamb were sizzling on the iron plate, and Li Shimin whispered: "I asked Li Daliang to guard the Northeast and help manage the Youzhou area."

Li Zheng put vegetables on the edge of the iron plate, "The meat was just slaughtered in the morning, and the vegetables were just picked in the fields, clean and hygienic and pollution-free."

Li Shimin whispered: "When Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo and Liaodong, the whole of Liaodong is still in chaos."

Li Zheng carefully flipped the barbecue and said, "With the skills I have learned, it is not only delicious but also healthy."

Li Shimin picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth and ate it, "Li Zheng, can't you think of anything else in your heart except eating, drinking and having fun?"

Seeing Li Zheng eating barbecue with a puzzled look, Li Shimin put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Can you study the food so novel, don't you have any opinions on political affairs in your heart?"

Li Zheng put the lettuce on the iron plate and scalded it, and ate it with a barbecue. "Your Majesty, I don't really understand the facts of politics."

"Don't understand very much? What did you think of the Western Turks and Eastern Turks? You still said you don't understand?" Li Shimin was so angry that he almost slapped his hand on the iron plate, and then withdrew his hand angrily, "You kid are so humble."

"Your Majesty is joking. You can only do some business. The Western Turks and the Eastern Turks have become like this and it has nothing to do with you."

Li Shimin smiled coldly, "Li Zheng, you can definitely live a long time."

Li Zheng bowed and said, "Borrow your auspicious words."

It may not be much to help the emperor get into trouble.

It is different to help the emperor deal with national affairs. If you don’t handle it well, you will lose your head.

So it is better to follow the emperor to cause trouble than to help the emperor with advice easily.

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Zheng whispered: "I see that His Majesty has blood in his eyes and his face is a little yellow. Have you not had a good sleep recently?"

After a change of topic, Li Shimin was stunned and said, "Indeed, I haven't had much sleep well recently."

Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty may take a hot bath before going to bed. Soak your feet in hot water and soak them for a while. It will be helpful for sleep."

Li Shimin sighed helplessly, "If the country is prosperous and the people are safe, how could I not sleep? In the past, Yang Guangdong fought against Goguryeo, and recently there were words in the market that I was not as good as Yang Guang."

After saying that, Li Shimin saw Li Zheng with a suspicious look on his face.

Li Shimin whispered: "Don't you believe it?"

Yang Guangdong failed to conquer Goguryeo, and Li Shimin also wanted to conquer Goguryeo?

Goguryeo has been an affiliation to the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty.

During the Han Dynasty, the three counties of Goguryeo were planned as the three counties of Han.

However, the Central Plains have been ups and downs for hundreds of years, and the ownership of the three counties of Han has always been related to the strength of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains were so peaceful and the Central Plains were powerful, so the three counties of Han were naturally taken back.

The Central Plains were in chaos and they lost control of the three counties of Han.

It is said that Qin was used as a wedding dress for Han people. Since the foundation of the Han Dynasty was founded, the identity of the Han people became the identity of the Central Plains people.

The unification of Qin and the long-term rule of Han made the originally chaotic seven kingdoms unified, and everyone was a Han Chinese.

The emperors of all dynasties were also Han people.

The Central Plains was constantly in chaos, and many later emperors were proclaiming to regain the Han territory after ascending the throne.

There are many statements about why Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo for the sake of his expedition.

Later people were speculating on Yang Guangdong's real motive for the expedition to Goguryeo.

Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty will not be inferior to Yang Guang. It is already great just to regain Yinshan and Hexi Corridor."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yang Guang has also done these things."

Well, it seems that Li Shimin doesn’t want to be the second Yang Guang, and he does better than Yang Guang.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "Does Your Majesty want to do better than Yang Guang?"

Li Shimin nodded, "That's natural."

Li Zheng said again: "Your Majesty wants to fight against Goguryeo?"

A cold wind blew, and Li Shimin looked towards Chang'an and sighed, "If it's just settled today, the Tang Dynasty has only been in the footsteps for many years. I think that the world can be peaceful and the people can rest."

He was serious, did Li Shimin still want to fight against Goguryeo?

Now it is just a reason why Li Shimin needs an expedition to Goguryeo.

Li Zheng said helplessly: "Since this is the case, Your Majesty, it is better not to think about the East Expedition to Goguryeo."

"Is that true?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with suspicion.

"Since His Majesty said that he needed to recuperate his national strength, it would be better not to go to the east."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and wanted to wave his sleeves to leave. When he turned around, he looked at Li Zheng with a comfortable look, "What if I want to go to Goguryeo?"

Li Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I wish Your Majesty a victory, but there must be many people in the court opposing Your Majesty's Eastern Expedition. Your Majesty should give up this idea as soon as possible."

"So you don't want the Eastern Expedition?"

Li Zheng sighed with emotion, "Of course not. Goguryeo is the eastern defense line of the Central Plains. As long as it is unified east of Goguryeo, there will be no threat. If possible, it is best to even accept Japan. If I am Your Majesty, what I want is not a place like Goguryeo."

Li Shimin sat down again and looked at Li Zheng, "I didn't expect that your kid's ambition was quite great."

"If you can get more, you can get more. The geographical location of Goguryeo is very important to the Central Plains, and in a certain sense it is our Dongdae Gate."

Li Shimin nodded with a serious face, without objection, "Since you have the same idea as me, I still want me to give up the idea of ​​the Eastern Expedition."

Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "But now is not the time, so wait a few more years."

This is true. The Central Plains have only been stable for now, and the world is in chaos during the Daye period.

In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty quelled civil strife and resisted foreign enemies.

The Tang Dynasty needed to cultivate national strength very much.

In the two years from the Daye period to the early Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains almost put all young and middle-aged people on the battlefield.

How many families have separated?

Of course, Li Shimin knew in his heart that he should cultivate national strength and even more that now is not the best time to go to war.

"I am going to go to war, and there will definitely be many voices to stop me."

"Especially the older generation of civil officials, right?" Li Zheng said holding the thermos.

"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.

"In fact, it is very simple to find a motive to go to war."

"I have been thinking about it for so long but haven't figured it out. It's so simple for you?"
