Li Shimin was in Mozhou City, and after playing for a few days, he left Mozhou City and returned to Chang'an City with satisfaction. However, while returning to Chang'an City, Li Tai was also brought with him.

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City and held a grand court meeting the next morning. I saw Li Shimin sitting in the middle, three provinces, six ministries and four major courtiers, and hundreds of civil and military officials were listed left and right.

"I'm going to add another part to the six, called the Ministry of Transport. The secretary of the Ministry of Transport was held by Li Tai, the king of Wei. The Ministry of Transport is not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces, but is under the direct management of me. Li Shimin opened his mouth and announced to everyone.

Li Shimin's sudden establishment of the transportation department outside the six departments really made others a little foggy. So Wei Zheng published and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what this Ministry of Transportation is under its jurisdiction. ”

"This ministry is responsible for the construction of roads and mining in the world. Everywhere they go, state officials must cooperate. Li Shimin said.

Although everyone still doesn't quite understand what the function of this transportation department is. However, no one spoke out against it, because it did not involve important matters of the DPRK.

So they naturally think that it is Li Shimin who is finding some work for his naughty son. lest he go about causing trouble.

Just when the civil and military officials nodded their heads one by one, Li Tai came out of class and said: "Father, let the sons and daughters serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Transport, and the sons will definitely do their best." However, the officials needed by the Ministry of Transportation do not know where to mobilize. ”

"The entire Ministry of Transport is in charge of you, and the officials are naturally selected by yourself. The official positions are set up according to the other six departments, and after they are sorted out, they can be handed over to the Imperial Review for approval. Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

Just when Li Tai had just stepped aside, he heard a report from the Yellow Gate official. The Huangmen official entered the Jinluan Hall and knelt under the grade stage, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there are tribute envoys from the Qi country, waiting for the decree outside the palace. ”

Hearing that a foreign race from Fanbang came to pay tribute, Li Shimin's mood was even more comfortable. So he announced loudly: "The envoys of the Xuan Buqi State have entered the palace." ”

After a short time, the envoys of the Buqi State entered the Jinluan Palace. Kneeling under the grade stage, he saluted Li Shimin and said: "The dragon of the Heavenly Pilgrimage Lord is on top, and the envoy of the small state Wang Biao is driving, may the Holy Lord live forever!" ”

When Li Shimin saw the kneeling person, he opened his mouth and said: "You are Wang Biao, the envoy of the State of Qi, I don't know what treasure you will send to me this time." ”

Wang Biao said: "Your Majesty, please look at the dedication table to understand." After speaking, he handed over a dedication form to the eunuch and forwarded it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the offering table and opened it to take a look, only to see that it was written: "The minister is not the king of the country, and he is the first day to make a pilgrimage to the lord." Because there are no strange treasures in a small country, there are only three despised things, namely a red gold inlaid crown, a white jade belt, and a yellow python suit. A little bit of a subordinate. ”

After Li Shimin saw it, he was happy, and said happily to Wang Biao: "There is Lao Aiqing who has been in the dust all the way, hurry up and offer the treasures, and I will arrange for you to go down to rest." ”

I saw Wang Biao say to Li Shimin with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death." After finishing speaking, he kept kowtowing to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said puzzledly: "Wang Biao Aiqing, it is your credit to send treasures all the way to pay tribute to the court, what else is the crime?" ”

After Wang Biao raised his head, he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the ministers will follow the wolf's will, put the three treasures on the car, and pass through the Eastern Liao Kingdom. met King Gao Jian's generalissimo Gai Suwen. ”

Nagai Suwen learned that the minister was paying tribute to the emperor. He blocked the way and robbed three treasures. The minister begged again and again before he spared my life. ”

Li Shimin heard that King Gao Jian drove the generalissimo Gai Suwen. actually intercepted his gift, and couldn't help but be furious.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Didn't you tell that Gai Suwen that these gifts were given to me? ”

Wang Biao said with a bitter face: "The minister not only said that these gifts were dedicated to the emperor, but also told him that if he dared to rob the tribute, the emperor would definitely send heavenly soldiers to fight." ”

But Nagai Suwen laughed and said to the minister, the Central Plains Flower World, to raise troops across the sea to seize the Tang Dynasty, as if in the palm of his hand. It is rare to unify the mountains and rivers all to him, not to mention these three treasures. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin took the case and said angrily: "The ignorant Fanbang juniors dare to speak wildly and offend me Tang Tianwei. ”

"Your Majesty, Nagai Suwen not only spoke wildly. He also tattooed a war letter on the minister's face and asked the minister to hand it over to the emperor. Wang Biao, the minister of tribute, said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Wang Biao say that there was a war letter tattooed on his face. So he asked Wang Biao to come closer, only to see that his face was written:

Facing the sea and the east of the country, the Eastern Liao general Gai Suwen.

The general urging army is the marshal, and the vanguard is called the horizontal.

Several times raised troops to leave the sea, and three times to Chang'an.

If you don't come to pay tribute this year, you will raise troops in August next year.

Capture Jingde Qin Shubao alive and capture the Chang'an Brigade alive.

The war letter was sent to the Southern Dynasty and passed on to my son Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin saw it, he was so angry that his face turned blue. For a moment, I couldn't even speak.

Li Tai hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Li Shimin, and let him sit on the dragon chair. Then he said to Wang Biao: "You go down to the post house to rest first, and in the coming day, my father will definitely send troops to avenge you." ”

After a long time, Li Shimin said tremblingly: "The bold and arrogant Gai Suwen dares to speak wildly. ”

"Why should my father be angry about this, has my father forgotten that the military advisor interpreted his father's dream for him that day." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai say this, Li Shimin didn't have that kind of atmosphere. So he spoke: "It seems that the soldier's prediction has indeed come true. It's just that I don't know Zhang Shigui, but I have found my Ying Mengxian minister. ”

"Back to the lord, Zhang Shigui has already sent back the newspaper. said that in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, no Xue Rengui was found. ”

"So Zhang Shigui said that the emperor's Ying Mengxian minister is his son-in-law He Zongxian." The secretary of the military department came out of the class and said to Li Shimin.

"Now that Ying Meng Xianchen hasn't found it, then I don't know who can exterminate this Gai Suwen?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked the Chinese military officials of the DPRK.

"The emperor doesn't need to be so worried, the minister dares to assert that this Xue Rengui must be in Zhang Shigui's army. It's just that maybe it's a makeover and a hidden name. ”

"The emperor only has to send troops to the Eastern Liao Kingdom, as long as there is a crisis, Xue Rengui, a virtuous minister of Ying Meng, actually appeared to escort him to solve problems for the emperor." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin when he came out of class.

"Father, even if that Ying Mengxian minister Xue Rengui is in Zhang Shigui's army. But he had just joined the army and had no military achievements, so naturally he couldn't let him lead the army. Therefore, the father also needs to choose a marshal to command the army. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"My generalissimo Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao of the Tang Dynasty have been invincible for many years of fighting in the south and the north. With him in command, he is sure that nothing goes wrong. Li Shimin said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty, Qin Qiong, the protector of the country, has been ill for more than a month, and he has not yet recovered. I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead the army. Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin.
