When Li Xiuning went to see his father, Li Shimin's face in the imperial study had a hint of deep thought, and his eyes fell on the map in front of him.

This map is marked with some information about the outside of Liaodong, which is also mixed with a lot of alien forces.

Among them, what Li Shimin cares about the most is a place on the map, which is none other than Goguryeo.

To know that Yang Guang's three expeditions failed, Li Shimin watched all this, and even had a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Sooner or later, I will step on Goguryeo!"

Li Shimin clasped his hands and muttered softly, obviously not at peace in his heart, if he could complete what Yang Guang did not do, then his prestige would also rise significantly.

If there are several things that Li Shimin cares about the most, then there is naturally fame.

After knowing about Xuanwumen, Li Shimin is very concerned about his reputation, after all, his position is a bit unjustifiable.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Shimin pays more attention to the issue of his reputation, and has always wanted to make some achievements.

The most obvious of these is defeating these aliens, which is a shortcut, but it can be expensive.

Of course, on the one hand, it is also a threat from Datang, so investment must be indispensable, and now Li Shimin is bent on starting a war.

Fortunately, Li Shimin also knew that the time was not yet right, and he wanted to know that he put Xue Rengui in this position against public opinion, hoping that Xue Rengui could quickly become an army.

After all, the hundred people under Xue Rengui before had all been investigated, they were all ordinary people, and they had never been trained before.

So Li Shimin took a gamble, and in addition to that, there was also the reason for his own father.

According to Xue Rengui's answer, these are all taught by the teacher, which is also a reason why Li Shimin made up his mind.

To know whether the things in the hands of this sub-father can be ordinary, it must not be ordinary, the world says that An Xuangong is unparalleled in talent, even Li Shimin has to admit this.

Obviously, this father didn't have any experience in leading troops, but he had a guard that even he envied.

also taught a Xue Rengui, even if he is at this Xue Rengui's age, maybe he can't compare.

Although Li Shimin will definitely not admit that it is inferior, he still has a clear understanding of it.

"I hope this kid can bring me some surprises."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he muttered softly, he couldn't wait to declare war.

After all, there is no shortage of money and food in Datang now, so naturally Li Shimin will not forget the humiliation of the year.

As for this map of Liaodong, Li Shimin carefully collected it.

There was a lot of relief on his face, and Xiuning still did a lot of things in Liaodong.

.........

Lizhou

Zhenguan was originally a permanent place for Li Xiao to be stationed before, but all this changed after the matter of the eldest grandson Anye was exposed by Shu An.

And the person who was sent here by Li Shimin was none other than Wu Shitong, a former old minister.

You must know that Wu Shi Tong is a henchman of the Emperor Taishang, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, although he did not take these people.

But basically these people are idle at home, and after Li Xiaochang's incident, Wu Shitong was sent to Lizhou by Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to reuse these old ministers, after all, at that time, he was still worried about his father's comeback.

However, there were not many people who made the entire Datang Dynasty alone at that time.

There are not many children born in the family, and even the positions occupied by those born are some ordinary official positions.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not be so angry with the clan chronicles, none of these people in the family have been official over the sixth grade.

It is precisely for this reason that in the end, Li Shimin can only send this samurai.

After the army was raised from Jinyang, Wu Shitong has always held an important position, and Li Shimin is still obvious to all in terms of ability.

However, the only problem that worries Li Shimin is the loyalty of the warriors.

After arriving in Lizhou, the samurai immediately showed his ability and issued a series of instructions.

Recruit the dead and rebel, take care of the old and weak, relieve their need, and open their heads.

In a short period of time, Lizhou has settled down again, and you must know that it is only half a year now.

However, even the stability of Lizhou still did not make this old minister from the dragon happy, but there was a lot of gloom.

In the Lizhou Governor's Mansion, a middle-aged scribe in his fifties sighed on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't you know how you're okay?"

A soft murmur sounded, and Wu Shi Tong missed Li Yuan a lot.

"Step, step!"

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, causing the samurai to frown.

However, when a middle-aged man dressed as a butler came in, the samurai Tong had some doubts on his face.

Because he is a housekeeper, he naturally knows that if there is no hurry, he will definitely not be in such a hurry.

Could it be that something is going on in Lizhou again, Wu Shi Tong can only think of this.

Fortunately, the samurai didn't doubt it for long, because the butler had already told the story.

"Master, there is a secret decree!"

"What, Secret Decree!"

There was a hint of seriousness on the face of the warrior Tong, and he exclaimed softly, although he still agreed with the emperor a little more in his heart.

However, Samurai Tong is also not a fool, and he will not resist this new emperor.

After all, the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism had a profound influence on the samurai.

It was for this reason that he naturally did not dare to ignore this secret message.

Samurai's eyes flickered, and he did not hesitate to take the secret decree in the butler's hand.

Just by looking at the samurai, he knew that this secret letter was true, not a fraud, and of course he had some apprehension in his heart.

Although the samurai took the secret letter, he hesitated to open it.

After all, he knew that the new emperor was not very friendly to these old men.

If this letter was for his life, even the samurai seemed to have to admit it.

If the new emperor wanted his own life, then how could he refuse.

Fortunately, his thoughts were only flying for a while, and Wu Shi Tong also calmed down, because he knew that if the new emperor wanted to know his life, he would have taken it as early as Chang'an.

Naturally, it will not be left at this time, and after thinking of this, Wu Shi Tong finally opened this secret decree.

After reading the content, Samurai Tong first breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting this to be the case.

And it seems that it is still the handiwork of Empress Changsun, and after thinking about the cause and effect, the samurai Tong is clear in his heart.

"Maybe it's not a bad thing."

Wu Shi Tong's gaze fell on the direction of Chang'an, and he thought silently.
