.    It was still dark outside the window, and there was still some time before the sun would rise.  Although it is already spring, the nights in Pyongyang are still a bit chilly.  It was still the small living room in Li Min's residence. The stove was burning and the room was very warm. There were several hot and cold side dishes on the table, a pot of wine, two cups, Li Shimin and Li Min's father and son.  The two sat opposite each other.

    Li Min picked up the wine pot, filled Li Shimin's glass first, and spoke first: "Father, what do you think of Silla's suggestion to encourage us to attack Baekje?"

    "Oh? You already know this?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at the son he admired most in front of him with some surprise.

    "Haha, my son is also caught by mistake. The identity of the little maid who left with the queen just now is not ordinary. She is the cousin of the Queen of Silla, named Jin Shengman" Li Min smiled and explained how he found out Man'er's identity.  , and then talked about how the two of them got along in the past few days.

    Of course, he made some small changes in some of them. For example, he did not talk about the embarrassing incident of being bitten. Moreover, Li Min did not say that the idea of ??climbing a tree and stealing yesterday was his own.  Everything was put on Maner's head, and he couldn't help it. In the end, both of them fell from the tree and were injured.

    "Hahaha~, no wonder that Jin Shengman's arms are hanging around his neck, and you are walking a little unnaturally. I was wondering just now, but I didn't expect this to be the case!" Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this, even a little bit  The look of gloating.

    "Father, my son was injured for the country after all. You don't have to be so happy, right?" Li Min said helplessly.

    "Hahaha~. Okay, okay, as a father, just don't laugh!" Li Shimin just finished speaking.  He broke his promise immediately, couldn't hold back his laughter again, and said while laughing: "Liu Lang, as a father, I really didn't expect that you, who have always been known for your intelligence, would suffer such a big loss at the hands of a little girl. It's really true.  It makes people laugh!" After saying that, he laughed again.

    Li Min¡¯s face was full of black lines. Could it be that the laughter points of ancient people were so low? Why couldn¡¯t he feel that there was anything funny?  Although I suffered a little loss, the other party suffered even worse than me.  If you want to laugh at her, you should laugh at that girl Man'er.

    After a while, Li Shimin stopped laughing, and suddenly said in a serious tone: "It's true, Deman, just having her is enough. Why do you prepare a little girl? You are so considerate of me!" Li Shimin said  After finishing, there was also a rare look of aftertaste on his face, obviously he has not completely come out of the gentle land of Queen Seondeok.

    Deman?  Li Min was stunned after hearing this, and then immediately realized that this should be the name of Queen Seondeok.  The girl's name is Seungman, which means that the names of Queen Jindeok's cousins ??all end with the character "man". Now Li Min is not calm because he only remembers that Queen Jindeok's name has the character "man" in it.  , now it¡¯s good, as long as she is a cousin who is older than Queen Seon-deok, she may be the next queen. It¡¯s a pity that she doesn¡¯t know how many cousins ??she has?

    Li Shimin thought about it for a while.  He quickly woke up, looked at Li Min awkwardly, and quickly changed to the topic: "Liu Lang, since you already know Silla's plan, do you think we should attack Baekje?"

    "Father, this must not be done. Although Silla is submissive on the surface, if Baekje is destroyed, they and our Tang Dynasty will be the only ones left in the homeland of the Three Han Dynasties. Although our country, the Tang Dynasty, is at its peak, but once we come here, we are far away from Guanzhong.  It is inevitable that we cannot deploy too many troops. Secondly, no one can guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will not be unable to spare its hands and feet in the future. In addition, Silla is the local leader here and can use the power of the whole country to turn against us at any time.  If the other party finds the right time to take action, then the land we spent countless efforts to occupy will fall into the hands of the other party, and even the Tang Dynasty will be laughed at for making wedding clothes for others!" Li Min objected with an angry look on his face.  , what he said was exactly what happened in the history of previous lives.

    "Haha, Liulang, you really didn't disappoint me!" Li Shimin laughed after hearing this, pointed at Li Min and praised.

    Li Min was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that Li Shimin was indeed a wise king, and could still remain sober in the gentle countryside of the Queen of Silla. He asked eagerly: "Father, in this case, you have rejected Silla's proposal.  ?¡±

    "No!" Li Shimin's unexpected answer almost choked the excited Li Min to death.

    "Father, you"

    Li Min finally regained his composure, and with a look of helplessness, he was about to ask why, when he saw Li Shimin taking a mouthful of food with a smile, chewing slowly and said: "Liu Lang, you have to remember that risks and opportunities go hand in hand.  Students, don¡¯t simply reject them just because you see the risks, but look deeper and find the opportunities within the risks, so that you can make the most correct choice!¡±

    Li Shimin gave a serious lesson, what he said wasSpeaking from personal experience, I think he led an army to conquer the world when he was a teenager, experienced dangers in the court when he was in his twenties, and finally ascended the throne with great difficulty. In terms of life experience, no one in the world can surpass him.  On the other hand, he naturally has his own unique perspective on things.

    "Please remember, my father, how did you handle this matter?" Li Min knows these principles of life better than anyone else. After all, this is the kind of education that future generations will receive, and the principles are all the same.  But as for practical application, it's not that easy.

    "Haha, in fact, for Silla and Baekje, my father had already made plans before conquering Goguryeo. The key to this problem is the Goguryeo lands east of Pyongyang City that were occupied by them." Li Shimin did not directly  He said, but opened his mouth to remind Li Mindao.

    After hearing this, Li Min immediately fell into deep thought. The land to the east was occupied by Silla and Baekje. Li Min and some young generals in the army were very unfair, thinking that they had taken advantage of the Tang Dynasty. But now after hearing Li Shimin's words,  There seems to be some hidden secret in this that I haven't seen through. Could it be that Li Shimin gave away the land on purpose?

    Thinking of this, Li Min suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Father, I understand, you treated the land to the east like a bone and then threw it to two hungry dogs who were watching eagerly. We, the Tang Dynasty, were just standing by.  He yells "come on," but doesn't actually take action. He waits until the two hungry dogs are tired and disabled, and thenhehe!"

    Although Li Min's metaphor was vulgar, it was very vivid. After hearing this, Li Shimin pointed at his son and laughed. Everyone said that Li Min, the King of Qi, was talented, elegant and modest, but he, the father, knew that Li Min  Min usually talks and does things, but he doesn't look elegant at all.

    Li Min, who was in the excitement, quickly thought of another question. He frowned and said again: "Father, although this strategy is good, the other party is not a fool. What if our intentions are discovered and the two parties remain peaceful?"  manage?"

    "Haha, asking this question shows that you don't understand the relationship between Silla and Baekje at all!" Li Shimin said proudly with a strategizing expression on his face.  When Li Min heard this, he hurriedly asked Li Shimin for advice. He knew a little about Silla, but Baekje didn't know much.

    Seeing Li Min's humbly asking for advice, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and explained: "The grudges between Silla and Baekje have lasted for hundreds of years. When Goguryeo expanded to the east, Silla and Baekje could not  There was no alliance and confrontation. Later, Silla helped Baekje to retake the Han River Basin occupied by Goguryeo. Unfortunately, Silla later became greedy for the riches of the Han River Basin and betrayed its trust and sent troops to seize it. This ended the alliance between the two countries for more than a hundred years.  After that, the two countries fought for the Han River Basin and fought countless wars. Unfortunately, after Baekje lost the richest Han River Basin, its national power was greatly damaged. It has been suppressed by Silla. In order to take revenge, they even did not hesitate to form an alliance with their old enemy Goguryeo.  Until now.¡±

    When Li Min heard this, he was very contemptuous of Silla. No wonder Silla has been clinging to Datang's thick legs. In addition to wanting to use the help of Datang to complete the unification of the Korean Peninsula, the biggest reason is probably that it wants to own itself.  Sure, after all, Goguryeo alone is not something they can resist, let alone a half-dead Baekje.

    Just listen to Li Shimin continue: "Now I have thrown away the land east of Pyongyang, and Silla and Baekje each occupy half. Although that land is not as fertile as the Han River Basin, it is also rare for Baekje.  A good place, as long as they work hard for a few years, their strength will definitely increase greatly. As a feud, Silla will never sit back and let Baekje, its old rival, regain its strength. Therefore, my father concluded that the two countries will definitely fight for the land of Goguryeo in the east.  A war breaks out again, and Deman¡¯s arrival this time just confirms his father¡¯s guess!¡±

    Now Li Min finally understood. In the past, he only knew that Baekje was a poor place with few people, little land, and even less oil and water. Even the slave-catching team was reluctant to go. He didn't expect that he was suppressed by Silla and became like this bear.

    "Father, where is the Queen of Silla, you are" Li Shimin said so much, but still did not say how to reply to the Queen of Silla. At the same time, Li Min was also curious about how he, the emperor, maintained his position in the gentle countryside.  Sober?

    "Hehe, it's actually very simple. The Queen of Silla asked me, the Tang Dynasty, to send troops to deal with Baekje, but I refused on the grounds that the troops would be exhausted during the expedition. However, my father promised her that she would secretly provide military horses and equipment so that  Silla boldly let it go. If Japan dares to help Baekje, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely intervene!"

    "What a good idea!" Li Min understood immediately when he heard it, and he burst out excitedly. Although Li Shimin said nicely, he would intervene when the Japanese country was helping Baekje, but this intervention was just a very vague concept. By then, the Tang Dynasty might  He only made a gesture of intervening, or he might intervene when all three countries were defeated.  Anyway, the initiative will be in the hands of Datang, so how can it be beneficial??How to do it.  Silla, on the other hand, had no choice, either to sit back and watch Baekje recover its strength and grow into a strong opponent, or to take advantage of the moment and push Baekje into the abyss. Of course, this would involve taking great risks.

    "Ouch~" Li Min was so excited that he didn't notice the bite on his arm when he slapped the table. As a result, the wound was suddenly involved. He screamed in pain and his facial features twisted together.  (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
