Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, couldn't wait to see the intelligence in the southwest, of course, more about Annan.

"Has it caused a dispute between the two great clans in Vietnam?"

Li Shimin muttered softly in his eyes, although Annan is now under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, only a small part of the places under the jurisdiction are located.

Most of Annam's regions were autonomous, with the titular King of Annam in control.

However, in fact, it is controlled by the four big families of Annan, namely the Nguyen, Lê, Wu, and Tran families.

Even if Li Shimin didn't have much interest in Annan before, he didn't know if he didn't know about it, but he was shocked when he understood it.

I didn't expect such a small place and so many complicated relationships.

Knowing the information does not mean that you can take action immediately, and there are various reasons.

If you want to completely incorporate Annan into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, instead of being as far away as it is now.

Then this matter must be inseparable from one person, that is, Qiu He, the governor of Jiaozhou.

Guarding the gateway of Annan for many years, Qiu He is undoubtedly the person who knows Annan best, if it is not for his help, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"Let people summon the eldest grandson and others into the palace."

"And let the hundred horsemen inform the father of this matter, and see if he has any ideas."

Li Shimin was the first to speak, but later added another sentence.

Now we need to discuss a reasonable method, and Li Shimin may still have a lot of burdens before.

But there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and now for the sake of Datang, Li Shimin has only one way to go dark.

.......

The ministers soon gathered in the imperial study, including civil ministers and some military generals.

After the New Year, most of the generals have returned to the places where they are stationed, and the current Datang does not want to be easy.

On the side of the Chinese ministers, the words were headed by Changsun Wuji, and on the other side, the military generals were naturally headed by Li Jing, the Shangshu of the military department.

Of course, except for some ambitious people, most people on the military generals side don't care about the head of the generals.

The reason why Li Jing stands in front of him is mainly because he has the most meritorious deeds.

In addition to the veteran battlefield generals, Xue Rengui also appeared at the end of the generals' team, but there was a lot of wry smiles on his face.

"There shouldn't be anything for me this time."

Xue Rengui thought silently while observing the people around him, he was still self-aware.

Because of some irresistible reasons before, he made such a great feat, but it is estimated that there is only one such thing.

In the next words, I must give others some opportunities, and you must know that there are many people in the ranks of military generals.

Among them, there are those he knows, and there are those he doesn't know, such as this military secretary who has just been transferred, Xue Rengui has never seen it at all.

"What do you think about this?"

Li Shimin's eyes swept over everyone present and said solemnly, when facing business.

This emperor always has a hint of majesty, less of his usual gentleness.

"Your Majesty, maybe we can send someone to contact King Annan."

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to speak, with a hint of confidence in his words.

If you want to occupy the righteousness, then there is no doubt that it is more righteous than this one king of Annam.

"Your Majesty, now we should get ready."

"Yes, one of the sergeants should be the first to gather in the southwest."

......

With the eldest grandson Wuji taking the lead in exporting, many civil and military generals expressed their opinions.

The people who can stand here are basically people who know about Annan, and naturally they will not have the slightest soft-heartedness.

Of course, some people spoke, and some of them did not speak, and Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Jing.

"I wonder what the pharmacist thinks?"

Li Shimin's voice sounded, and in an instant, the eyes of everyone present fell on Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know that this time it was for the land of Annan!?"

Li Jing was the first to ask out loud, with a hint of inquiry in his words.

"Not bad!"

Li Shimin replied without hesitation.

Just as the monarch and the ministers were answering, Xue Rengui also secretly looked at this military department secretary.

Unlike other generals, this Li Jing looks more like a middle-aged scribe, and the aura of a famous general on the battlefield is restrained.

Even Xue Rengui couldn't help but sigh secretly, people can't look good, but what makes him care more is the idea of the existence of this meritorious person.

"If it is handed over to the minister, then the minister will let the king of Annan be killed and blame the four major families of Annan."

"Originally, there was already a gap between the four major families, and at that time, they would inevitably suspect each other, and even want their own people to sit in the position of King of Annam."

"At the same time, control the descendants of King Annam, and then let the army enter Annam under the pretense of these descendants to find out the truth."

"The next situation is completely under your own control, the army enters Annan, and the rest depends on the choices of some of the four major families."

Li Jing's strong voice sounded in the imperial study, and his words seemed to have included Annan in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Poison!"

At this time, the first reaction of everyone present was this one word, even they didn't expect this military department secretary to be so vicious.

Especially Xue Rengui, who was standing at the back, secretly sighed that if this strategy was used, whether it was righteousness or control of the Annan region, it would be simple and clear.

Although he didn't go on, Xue Rengui knew that there were not many roads left for the four major families of Annan.

Because when the time comes, the army will definitely detain the death of King Annam on these four families.

Even if the four major families knew about it, there was no possibility at all except for the rebellion.

If there is a rebellion, then it will give the army a chance to sweep away Annam in one fell swoop.

The people present were naturally not fools, and they quickly understood the possible results of Li Jing's strategy.

"The pharmacist really has a lot of ideas."

Li Shimin's eyes showed a hint of appreciation and said, although he did not agree on the surface, but in fact he agreed.

No matter how poisonous the strategy is, Li Shimin is not an indecisive person.

What's more, what Li Shimin needs is a stable Annan, a stable Annan that can provide food to Datang.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others on the side also showed a wry smile on their faces, but they didn't expect that the limelight was snatched away by this Pharmacist Li in the end.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji also secretly said in his heart, it seems that he is still not ruthless enough.

The current Zhao Guogong is only thirty-five years old, and there is still a short distance from the future scheming.

Fortunately, Li Shimin's strategy against Li Jing began to be perfected again, and with the help of so many people, a complete strategy also began to take shape.

Of course, there is no such thing as Xue Rengui in this, but Xue Rengui can also see that His Majesty is cultivating himself.
