After Ashina Simobi left, Li Jiancheng looked at the gift list set by the Turkic Lili Khan in silence, and did not speak for a long time, Mingyu's father-in-law stood beside Li Jiancheng, and did not dare to say a word, the surrounding courtesans and dancers were still playing music, and Li Jiancheng felt that it was noise in his ears:

"Get out, get out of here!" Mingyu's father-in-law hurriedly signaled those courtesans and dancers to run out, and then, he also hurriedly took the eunuchs and palace maids waiting around him to prepare to go out, and Li Jiancheng called Mingyu's father-in-law:

"Mingyu!"

"The little slave is here!"

"Spread my will, and order the civil and military officials of the imperial court and the royal family to gather in the Xuanzheng Palace, and I have something to discuss with the secretaries! Remember, don't make a big fuss, but secretly send someone to summon secretly! "If you want to quickly gather the civil and military officials, as well as the royal family and clansmen, you only need to beat the drum on the imperial city, but according to the etiquette system, only when the new monarch ascends the throne and the old monarch dies, as well as major affairs of the imperial court, you can knock it, but Li Jiancheng hopes that this matter will not be too public.

"Yes! Little slave understands! After Mingyu's father-in-law received the recruitment, he immediately sent his eunuchs to summon the people from the major yamen and the major clan residences in Chang'an, and after about an hour, the hundred officials of the imperial court and Li Tang's imperial family immediately gathered at the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, and everyone discussed:

"Lord Fang, Lord Du, you have long been the old minister of the Son of Heaven, and you are the new secretary of the military department of the current dynasty, do you know what His Majesty is waiting for me to meet this time?"

"Lord Wang, Lord Eldest Sun, although we are the old ministers of the Son of Heaven, we have just taken up our new positions, besides, one of the princes is a relative of Li Tang, and the other is a relative of the court, don't you have any news!"

"Hey! You also saw it, isn't that Lord Pei Lone? There are also several adults such as Wu Shiyi, Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, etc., aren't they waiting for the Emperor Taishang in Renshou Palace? Also, Dazong Zheng Li Shentong Li Wang Ye has also arrived, it seems that this discussion, I'm afraid this matter is not small......"

"Yes! In addition, I heard that the Eastern Turks have sent people again, and at this time, His Majesty summoned me to wait for the emperor to deal with it, I am afraid it has something to do with this matter......" At this time, Mingyu's father-in-law came out of the palace to proclaim:

"The ministers enter the palace and meet the emperor!" After Li Jiancheng saw the ministers enter the palace:

"It's all here! Ladies and gentlemen, take a look! Li Jiancheng asked Mingyu's father-in-law to send the letter of the Eastern Turkic Lili Khan to the hands of the important ministers for circulation, whether it was Li Shentong, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Pei Lian, Changsun Shunde and other old ministers of the previous dynasty, or Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other upstarts of the current dynasty, or Di Zhixun, Wei Zheng, Xu Jingzong, Wang Gui, Li Gang, Yu Zhining and other old people in the old mansion, all were silent, only the eldest grandson Wuxian, Li Ji, Li Yi (Xu Shiji and Luo Yi have been given the surname Li by Li Jiancheng) Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and other military generals spoke:

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Turks are deceiving people too much!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Although at the beginning, the Eastern Turks entered Guanzhong to plunder, but it was our dynasty and the rebels colluded with the Eastern Turks to leak a secret passage in Guanzhong, which made the Eastern Turks successfully attack. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, at the beginning, Your Majesty and the Eastern Turkic Thief Chieftain were expedient, but now I can't imagine that this thief chieftain has taken it seriously. Please refuse it to your majesty! Looking at the generals present, they were surging one by one. Only Li Jing shook his head at Li Jiancheng:

"Pharmacist, what is your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being blunt, for now we can only make peace with the Turks, not war!"

"Tell me what you think!?" As soon as Li Jing's words were spoken, the generals present all looked at Li Jing quietly:

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, although our dynasty has unified the Central Plains, but, not as strong as the previous dynasty, the former dynasty is strong, our dynasty has just been unified, and has experienced many times of chaos, the national strength is not as good as before, moreover, our army is defending, the Turks are attacking, although our dynasty has the Great Wall natural danger, the Great Wall is too big and too long, and it needs to be heavily defended, and the heavy troops are stationed, it needs money and grain supply, and the grain is transported from the Central Plains, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and ten stones of grain are transported on the road, and eight stones will be eaten on the road, although His Majesty solves it by the method of salt and sugar introduction (Li Jiancheng ordered, transport one stone of grain, You can exchange a pound of salt and snow sugar in the production area for a pound of salt and snow sugar), however, a drop in the bucket, it doesn't help! The Turks are all cavalry, and they only attack our Great Wall a little, and once they break through a little, the gate of our Central Plains will be opened. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, in order to prevent future troubles, only to send troops to the grassland, however, the grassland must need a large number of war horses, the former Sui was able to divide the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi from each other, has obtained a large number of war horses from the Turks, and then the former Sui Emperor Yang Guang used Pei Ju's strategy to divide the Turks and the Western Regions, not only the army is full of war horses, that is, the people, but also the horses are sufficient, and my dynasty is different, since the former Sui split, the princes around the country are divided, not to mention the war horses in the army, that is, the civilian business horses, have also been swept away! War horses are not better than ordinary horses, first of all, they must have big bones, strong bodies, and long-lasting endurance, and they also need adult horses over two years old, and they need a lot of pasture and pasture land to raise adult horses. Your Majesty, don't you want to be on the grassland?! Wei Zheng also agreed with Li Jing's opinion:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Pharmacist, what he said is reasonable!"

"However, I gave so much grain, tea, cloth, gold and silver to the Eastern Turks for the sake of a woman, and I am a little unwilling!"

"Your Majesty, in the past Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue was humiliated by the slaves sent by the king of Wu, tasted the pain of feces, and then lay down to taste the gall, and then destroyed the Wu country in a war, and now, please Your Majesty temporarily endure a little humiliation, and when our army has enough horses, then do the thing of going out of the jam!" Hearing this voice, Li Jiancheng looked - oh! It turned out to be Chu Suiliang! After Chu Suiliang successfully passed the imperial examination, he was transferred to Wei Zheng as a subordinate and served as the imperial historian, but Li Jiancheng still had a little unpleasant look at Chu Suiliang in his heart - what? Now that he is learning from Wei Zheng, he has also begun to pretend to be a minister of advice.

"Chu Aiqing! Since you agree, tell me your opinion! ”

"The minister doesn't have a high opinion, but I just think that the folk marriage still needs to be hired with a lot of colorful gifts, not to mention, now it is not me who married the princess or the people's daughter, but the Eastern Turks are willing to marry the princess, the emperor, you will give up some gold and silver wealth, and you can be regarded as having some face!?"

"Wait a minute, stand down! Just wait outside the palace, Mingyu, order the inner mansion to prepare meals, and all of you will rest in the palace! Let me think about it! Just when Li Jiancheng was thinking with the ministers of the imperial court, an incident happened in Chang'an, which made Li Jiancheng make up his mind early. In a tavern in Chang'an City, several Turkic followers of Ashina Simobi were drinking in the tavern.

"Hey! This time is really happy, I can't imagine that with a humble princess, I can exchange so much food, cloth, silk, salt, tea and other things! There is no need to use swords, there is no need to work hard, I must participate in such good things in the future. ”

"Yes! If there had been such a good thing a long time ago, without burning, killing and looting, you would have been able to exchange for so many things, and I hope that there would be more such good things and so many people would not have to die......" After hearing about this, a few drinkers in Chang'an next to him immediately questioned the Turks:

"What? Say it again! We, Li Tang, want to marry you Turkic barbarians. You guys are talking nonsense! ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, this is what your emperor personally promised with us on the Weishui River that day, and now we are begging for relatives, how can it be nonsense!?" When Ashina Simobi special service came to Chang'an, he told his subordinates many times, ordering his subordinates not to cause trouble in Chang'an, so those Turks spoke politely.

"Nonsense, I told you to talk nonsense......" For a while, the tavern shouted and killed. Messes everywhere. Just when Li Jiancheng was thinking, Mingyu's father-in-law ran into the hall panting:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Chang'an Mansion Yin came to ask for a meeting! ”

"Xuan!"

"Your Majesty! Chang'an City was in chaos, several Turkic envoys clashed with several common people in a tavern, and then the people of Chang'an heard that His Majesty was going to marry the Eastern Turks, and one by one they were indignant. At this time, Mingyu's father-in-law ran in again:

"Your Majesty, outside the palace gate, a large number of Chang'an people gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate, and they asked to see Your Majesty!" When Li Jiancheng heard this, he stood up anxiously:

"What?" Outside the gate of Taiji Palace, a large group of people knelt in front of the palace gate:

"I beg Your Majesty, don't marry the Eastern Turks, Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty, don't marry the Eastern Turks!" A few people who looked like scholars also shouted in front of the Taiji Palace:

"Your Majesty! My royal blood is noble, and we must not be defiled by the blood of the barbarians! Your Majesty, you must not admit the women of the barbarians into the harem! Your Majesty, please think twice, and advise the grass people! Your Majesty! The gate of Taiji Palace was closed, and the palace gate guard stood on the imperial city wall and watched, shaking his head all the time:

"General, you say, this majesty is too, how did you think of marrying the Turkic barbarians!"

"Be bold, don't talk nonsense, stand your post well! Delusional king, how many heads do you have. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The small ones are mouthy, the small ones are mouthy! The guard general looked at the city and the royal street in the distance, wondering what Li Jiancheng should do? In the Xuanzheng Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng frowned tightly - hum! Lao Tzu wants to strictly block the news, but he is afraid, this person is too talkative, and when the people are in turmoil, it is good now, it is really chaotic, hey! Forget it, you have to come! Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng stood up from the dragon seat and walked outside the hall, and the civil and military ministers and royal relatives in the court saw Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, what is your will!?"

"Everyone, go to the Suzaku Gate with me to solve the civil unrest!"

"Ahh Your Majesty, this ...... "Some of the ministers wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng not to go, but Li Jiancheng didn't give them a chance and walked directly to the Suzaku Gate!"
