Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the study next to Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace.  Li Shimin was at his desk looking at the maps of the newly established Xizhou and Tingzhou. He rejected Li Min's opinion at today's court meeting 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 in the Western Regions and the Western Turks respond?

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

    "Liu Lang? Let him in!" Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this. He had received a report from the palace before and knew that Li Min left the imperial city after staying with Concubine Yang for a while, but why did he come back now?

    When Li Shimin put away the map on the table, he looked up and saw Li Min coming in.  However, Li Shimin's expression was startled at this time, because Li Min's expression was very strange, not only happy but also worried, it seemed to be mixed with a trace of inexplicable weirdness.

    "I pay homage to my father!" Although Li Min's expression was strange, he did not forget the etiquette. After bowing and saluting, he stood up and said again: "Father, I have two greetings about Silla and Baekje.  The latest news, you will definitely be very happy to hear one of them, as for the other one"

    When Li Min said this, the weird look on his face became even more intense, "AhemFather, let's tell the first news first!"

    Li Shimin didn¡¯t know what Li Min was up to, but when he heard the news that it was Silla and Baekje, his heart moved because he thought again of the Queen of Silla who he has never forgotten until now.  At the beginning, he withdrew his troops from Pyongyang and left all the affairs of Silla and Baekje to Li Min. Now it seems that he finally has some news.

    The first news is for Datang.  It is indeed good news. Li Shimin deliberately lost the homeland of Goguryeo east of Pyongyang to Silla and Baekje to share equally. However, the hatred between the two countries has accumulated for hundreds of years. In the past, due to the participation of Goguryeo and Datang, the  This maintains a tense balance between the two countries. Now that Goguryeo is destroyed, Datang will not only ignore it.  And they also secretly provoked them, so the relationship between the two countries became increasingly tense, especially in the newly occupied lands.  There were almost constant conflicts.

    According to the news sent to Li Min by Wu Meiniang, both Silla and Baekje have now entered a state of preparation for war, and the young men in the middle school are in their leisure time.  Both countries have to receive military training. At the same time, the two countries are also actively contacting the surrounding Datang states, hoping to purchase some ordnance and food.  Moreover, according to Wu Meiniang's estimation, a fierce national war will break out between the two countries after the autumn harvest of next year at the latest.

    "Okay!" After hearing this, Li Shimin happily slapped the dragon case, stood up and walked back and forth a few times, and then excitedly said to Li Min, "Silla and Baekje have a deep hatred. If the two countries are at war, they will definitely use  Go all out. Although Baekje is weaker, there is a Japanese country nearby to help, so it is really difficult to predict who will win in the end. But one thing is certain, that is, the war between the two countries will definitely not happen in a short time.  It¡¯s over. If we act according to the opportunity, we will definitely get the maximum benefit from it, and it is not impossible to even destroy the two countries in one fell swoop!¡±

    "My father was wise, and my sons thought the same way. There was a Goguryeo in the land of three Koreas before, which posed a great threat to our Central Plains dynasty. Although Goguryeo has been 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 Min said with a rare expression of ambition.

    "Fortunately, these two small countries are too weak. It takes a long time to prepare for a war. If it is as expected, the war will not break out until the autumn harvest of next year. By then, you will just have time to wait for them.  After fighting for a few months, you can return to Dengzhou and take part in the battle in person. As for what effect you can achieve, it all depends on your methods!" Li Shimin looked at Li Min's expression and said with a satisfied smile.

    "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not have any country threaten our Tang Dynasty again in the land of Three Koreas!" Li Min also showed strong confidence in Silla, Baekje, and even the overseas Japanese countries.  It has been listed as a country that must be destroyed by him.

    After talking about the good news, it was time for Li Min to talk about the second thing. However, the expression on his face seemed to be hesitant and a bit embarrassed. After a while, he said: "Ahem~, father."  Emperor, do you still remember the Queen of Silla?"

    Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this, and looked around guiltily. When he found that they were the only two people in the study, he felt 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 Min¡¯s heart, but something went wrong over there!

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

    "Oh, is it related to Deman?" Li Shimin showed a look of surprise on his face, even though he and the Queen of Silla were just a romantic couple.??But after a few days of getting along, it would definitely be a lie to say that there is no friendship at all.

    "Father, according to the news obtained by my subordinates, the Queen of Silla has not summoned ministers for more than two months in a row. Normal government orders are issued by her cousin, the one we saw last time pretending to be a maid.  The little girl is telling the outside world that she will not be seen by anyone who asks to see her." After Li Min said this, he stopped and looked at Li Shimin, hoping that the other party could guess something.

    When Li Shimin heard that the Queen of Silla had not shown up for such a long time, there was a trace of anxiety on his face. After taking a few steps back and forth, he suddenly asked: "Liu Lang, is it that Deman has been under house arrest, so that's why he hasn't been able to show up?"  After all, she is the king as a woman, and there must be many people in the country who are opposed to it. In addition, the battle in Goguryeo left Silla with a lack of domestic troops. Deman is now attracted by Baekje. If she opposes  If her people take the opportunity to attack, they are likely to succeed!"

    Hearing such a 'reasonable' conjecture from the other party, Li Min felt contempt in his heart. This was obviously a recurrence of Li Shimin's occupational disease as emperor. He only thought about others usurping power, but did not think in other directions at all.

    "Father, although your conjecture is very reasonable, it has been ruled out through the investigation of my people, because several ministers in Silla who opposed the queen have not made any changes during this period, and the queen's freedom  There were no restrictions, and my people were very confused at first, but it was not until they bribed an imperial doctor around the queen that they got accurate information." After Li Min said this, he looked up at Li Shimin and then continued.  Then he said, "The Queen of Silla is pregnant, and she has been pregnant for six months now!"

    "What?" Li Shimin was so shocked when he heard the news that he almost fell on the table. Counting the days, he and the Queen of Silla did have a romantic relationship six months ago, and he also knew clearly that Queen Kinderman was a  A clean and self-sufficient woman, even when she met him, the other person was still a virgin, and now she suddenly became pregnant. Apart from him, there was probably no second suspect.

    Li Shimin hesitated for a long time, and then asked Li Min awkwardly: "Liu Lang, do you think this child is mine?"

    Li Min rolled his eyes after hearing this, thinking that you have done a good thing yourself, but now you ask me whose child is my child, how should I answer this?  Although he thought so in his heart, Li Min naturally did not dare to say so. He hesitated and said with a wry smile: "Father, you must also know that the Queen of Silla has always had a good reputation in the country, 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 has been dating any man. If I count the days, I am afraid that there will be no one else except you!"

    In fact, Li Shimin had already determined in his heart that the child in the queen's belly must be his. The reason why he asked Li Min was just to hear the other party's affirmative answer.  However, Li Shimin was an emperor after all, and things were much more complicated to consider. After knowing that he had another child about to be born, he was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but be very troubled, because Kinderman was the queen of Silla after all.  What to do with this child after he is born is another very difficult problem.

    Regarding the Queen of Silla's pregnancy, Wu Meiniang didn't pay much attention to it after receiving the news. After all, in her view, the Queen's pregnancy was just a private matter of the other party and had little impact on national affairs.  After analyzing the information she had, she could not find the father of the child, which made her feel strange, so she passed it on to Li Min, otherwise Wu Meiniang would probably have disposed of the information as garbage.

    When Li Min 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 Li Shimin's. If it is a princess,  That's okay, if it's a prince, it won't be easy to explain in the future.

    Fortunately, this matter was caused by Li Shimin, so after Li Min reported the matter, he had nothing to do with the rest. The headache was also the emperor's father's problem. He had to make up his mind on how to deal with it. He only needed to  Just follow the other person's instructions.

    I saw Li Shimin walking around in the study, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", obviously very troubled by this.  But he is a decisive person after all. Although he values ????family matters, if it affects national affairs, he will still put major matters first without hesitation.

    So in the end, Li Shimin stopped, turned around and said to Li Min: "Liu Lang, whatever you planned before, you will do whatever you want to do in the future. You don't have to worry about this child, but"

    When Li Shimin said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said with obvious embarrassment: "But Liulang, if there is a chance in the future, can you find a way to secretly send Deman and his son to Chang'an? After all, if they are really mine,  Bone and blood, I don¡¯t care eitherI don't want to let him suffer too much!  "
