"Don't! Don't tell Yamachō yet! Doctor Sun's medical skills are superb. Who knows, he might be able to help Teacher Wenji recover completely? If you tell Yamachō the truth about the situation here, it will only make Yamachō anxious. Not to mention, His Majesty has given Yamachō such a dangerous mission. We can't help Yamachō, but we can't distract Yamachō, otherwise, Yamachō will be in danger! "
Yanhuang College, Dormitory 001.
Qin Huaiyu advised in a sincere and heartfelt manner.
Yuchi Baolin also nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! Huaiyu is right! My father said before that when masters fight, victory and defeat is often decided in the blink of an eye. If Yamachō is distracted by Teacher Wenji's injury, their chances of winning against Wu Jie will be even lower! "
Among the four people present, Yuchi Baolin had the most right to speak about matters between martial artists. Hearing him say this, Li Tai couldn't help but nod, "Alright then! We won't tell Yamachō about Teacher Wenji's condition for now! "
After saying that, Li Tai lowered his head and began to send a telegram to Li Zexuan, "Yamachō, although Teacher Mo and the two Dugu Generals were seriously injured by Wu Jie, after Doctor Sun's treatment, their lives are not in danger. They just need to rest for a few more days! As for Teacher Wenji, because Baolin acted as a meat shield for Teacher Wenji, Teacher Wenji only suffered some minor injuries. After being treated by Doctor Sun, Teacher Wenji is fine. Please rest assured, Yamachō! "
"Beep, beep, beep!"
On the other end of the telegram, Li Zexuan waited for a long time for Li Tai's message. However, he didn't suspect anything because Li Tai's "typing" speed was relatively slow. After "translating" the contents of the telegram in his mind, Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that everything was fine! As long as the teachers and students of the academy were fine!
This was a rare piece of good news for him!
"Yes! That's it for now! I can't rush back to the academy for the time being. Qingque, have the students prepare for the final exam. We must personally return the humiliation that Yanhuang College suffered today to the Turks! "
After pausing for a moment, Li Zexuan pressed the button of the telegraph machine and used a very firm tone to "speak" to Li Tai.
A moment later, on the other side, Li Tai looked at the translated contents of the telegram. His emotions surged and he remained silent for a long time!
At this moment, Yang Kai couldn't help but think back to two hours ago, when an old man had faced the peerless master Wu Jie, pointing to the Heavens and Earth, fearlessly uttering those words!
"This old man was originally a scholar. I knew the Four Books and Five Classics. I was familiar with the 'Records of the Grand Historian' and the 'Book of Han'. He was penniless with only a few pieces of cloth clothing. I only have a few hundred students, and that is my greatest asset in this life.
This old man respects Heaven and Earth, respects morality, and fears the hearts of the people. You are just a barbarian, how can I be intimidated by you? This old man knows that your martial arts are high and that you are invincible, but today I want to see what you can do to me! "
Riches and honor cannot be swayed, poverty cannot be swayed, might cannot be bent!
The old man had used his lofty and unyielding character to explain to the students of the academy what it meant to be 'might cannot be bent'!
However, although peerless martial arts might not be able to make the old man bow and bend his knees, time was unforgiving!
The old man was already eighty-two years old this year. In this era of underdeveloped medical technology, those who could live to this age were definitely rare existences. How could the old man withstand such injuries at his age? Even if he had Yuchi Bao Lin as a meat shield when he was sent flying by Wu Jie's attack, Li Gang's body still couldn't withstand it!
The reason why he had been so strong before was entirely because he was relying on his willpower to hold on. Later, when Wu Jie left with the academy's confidential information, the old man not only felt guilty, but his willpower had also dissipated. Once the students left, his body naturally couldn't hold on any longer. At this time, he was in Sun Simiao's courtyard for emergency treatment!
"Let's go see Teacher Wen Ji?"
After sending a telegram and agreeing to Li Zexuan's request, Li Tai stood up in low spirits and said to the people next to him.
Qin Huaiyu hesitated and said, "It's almost four o 'clock now. If we go and Teacher Wen Ji wakes up, he will definitely blame us! The old man's body isn't good, so we should try to minimize his mood swings as much as possible! "
Hearing this, Sun Zifan nodded and said, "Huaiyu is right, let's take advantage of lunch tomorrow to visit Teacher Wen Ji!"
Li Tai also felt that the two's words were reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Good! We'll visit him tomorrow! As for now … let's all go to sleep! "
… … …
The next day, early morning, outside Tai Ji Palace!
Although it wasn't time for the morning court yet, many civil and military officials had already gathered outside Tai Ji Palace. Although the Yun Mountain Scripture had caused an uproar last night, there hadn't been much movement in Chang 'an City. At most, there might be some movement when Zhao Song led more than two thousand imperial guards and three hundred cavalry out of the city. Therefore, the civil and military officials living in Chang' an City didn't know that Yun Mountain had experienced a life and death crisis last night!
"It's time for the morning court! All officials, enter the court for an audience! "
As the red clouds of dawn began to appear in the eastern sky, a eunuch walked out of Taiji Palace and shouted at the officials at the foot of the stairs.
The civil and military officials immediately quieted down and walked up the stairs to Tai Ji Palace!
After entering Tai Ji Palace and greeting each other, the officials realized that something was wrong. Today's morning court seemed to be more depressing than usual, and the source of this depressing feeling came from Li Er!
Li Er's entire body seemed to emit a gloomy aura. Some of the braver generals, such as Cheng Yaojin, couldn't help but secretly look up at Li Er. They saw that Li Er's face was dark as if someone owed him money. What surprised Old Cheng even more was that Li Er's eyes were as dark as a panda's. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night!
"Could it be that His Majesty and the Empress are at odds?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
However, he could only think this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. Old Cheng still knew the severity of the matter!
"Today, in front of all my beloved officials, I announce an important matter!"
There was no such thing as "Officials, if you have something to report, court will be dismissed." After the officials finished greeting each other, Li Er directly spoke with a solemn face.
Although the officials had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask. They could only say in unison, "We are all ears!"
Li Er looked around and then said something shocking. "I have decided to officially declare war on the Turks. The officials of the six departments of the imperial court will enter a state of full preparation for war. The officials of the six departments should work together and clean up an army that can go to war at any time in the shortest time possible!"
Silence!
The moment Li Er finished speaking, the hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone's breathing quickened and their eyes widened. This news from Li Er's mouth was truly too explosive!
The Turks! Li Er actually wanted to make a move against the Turks at this time!
After the silence, there was a fierce debate. The officials in the hall whispered to each other, and then Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Tang's Guanzhong region is currently being ravaged by locusts, and the imperial court is focusing all its efforts on disaster relief. At this juncture, how can we still have the manpower, material, and financial resources to fight to the death with the Turks? Your Majesty, please reconsider your actions! "
It had to be said that Zhangsun Wuji's thinking was still very clear. At this time, the Great Tang's internal calamity had yet to be completely resolved. It was already good that the Turks didn't take this opportunity to attack the Great Tang. However, Li Er actually wanted to take the initiative to start a war between the two countries. Wasn't this' branding '?
Thus, as a subject, Zhangsun Wuji felt that he had the responsibility to help Li Er eliminate this dangerous idea!
The Turks were powerful, and they had millions of soldiers. How could it be so easy to defeat them?
"Duke of Zhao is right! Our Great Tang's internal calamity has yet to be resolved, so how can we take the initiative to provoke external enemies? Besides, a war between countries not only requires the mobilization of manpower, but also a huge amount of resources and financial resources. These aren't things that can be done in a short period of time! Thus, I hope that Your Majesty will reconsider the matter of declaring war! "
Fang Xuanling also stood out and clasped his hands towards Li Er.
"We agree!"
"We agree!"
Then, a group of officials followed behind and seconded the motion.
They didn't know what had gotten into Li Er today to suddenly do such a thing, but everyone knew that this wasn't a good time to start a war with the Turks. Thus, the officials all bowed and seconded the motion, hoping that Li Er would 'change his mind'!
"This old subject agrees!"
Cheng Yaojin grinned. Although he really wanted to fight, he never wanted to lose a battle! In the current situation of the Great Tang, if they rashly started a war with the Turks, they would definitely lose!
Thus, Old Cheng, this' warmonger ', also stood out at this time!
"Hmph! Everyone knows that this isn't the right time for the Great Tang to attack the Turks. That's why the Turks dared to brazenly sneak into Yanhuang College, injure the guards, teachers, and students of the college, and steal many precious books and manuscripts! "
The more Li Er heard, the angrier he became. When he saw that even Cheng Yaojin stood out to persuade him not to start a war, he finally couldn't help but slap the table and roar angrily!
Weng ~!
This was truly a case of one wave rising after another. Those officials who had been immersed in the shock of hearing that Li Er was going to attack the Turks were now completely dumbfounded by Li Er's other piece of news!
"What? Turks actually sneaked into Yanhuang College? "
…
Li Er's entire body seemed to emit a gloomy and cold aura. Some of the bolder generals, such as Cheng Yaojin, couldn't help but secretly look up at Li Er. They saw that Li Er's face was dark, as if someone owed him money. What surprised Old Cheng even more was that Li Er's eyes were as dark as a panda's. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night!
'Could it be that His Majesty and the Empress had a quarrel?'
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
However, he could only think such words in his heart and didn't dare to say them out loud. Old Cheng still knew the severity of the matter!
"Today, in front of all my beloved subjects, We announce an important matter!"
There was no such thing as' all my subjects, if you have something to report, court will be dismissed '. After all the officials finished their greetings, Li Er directly spoke with a dark face and a serious expression.
Although the officials had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask. They could only say in unison, "We are all ears!"
Li Er looked around and then said something shocking. "We have decided to officially declare war on the Turks. The officials of the six departments of the imperial court will enter a state of full preparation for war from today onwards. The officials of the six departments should work together and clean up an army that can go to war at any time in the shortest time possible!"
Silence!
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, the hall immediately became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone's breathing quickened, and their eyes widened. This news from Li Er's mouth was really too explosive!
Turks! Li Er actually wanted to attack the Turks at this time!
After the silence, there was a fierce debate. The officials in the hall whispered to each other. Then, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Tang's Guanzhong area is currently wreaking havoc. The imperial court is focusing all its efforts on disaster relief. At this juncture, how can we still have the manpower, material, and financial resources to fight to the death with the Turks? Your Majesty, please reconsider your actions! "
It had to be said that Zhangsun Wuji's thoughts were still very clear. At this time, the Great Tang's internal calamity had yet to be completely resolved. It was already good that the Turks didn't take this opportunity to attack the Great Tang. However, Li Er actually wanted to take the initiative to start a war between the two countries. Wasn't this' branding 'them?
Thus, as a subject, Zhangsun Wuji felt that he had the responsibility to help Li Er eliminate this dangerous idea!
The Turks were powerful and had millions of soldiers controlling their bowstrings. How could it be so easy to defeat them?
"Duke of Zhao is right! Our Great Tang's internal calamity has yet to be resolved. How can we take the initiative to provoke external enemies? Furthermore, a war between countries not only requires manpower, but also a huge amount of resources and financial resources. These aren't things that can be done in a short period of time! Thus, I hope that Your Majesty will reconsider the matter of declaring war! "
Fang Xuanling also stood out and clasped his hands towards Li Er.
"Your subjects agree!"
"Your subjects agree!"
Then, a group of officials followed behind and seconded the motion.
They didn't know what had gotten into Li Er today to suddenly do such a thing, but everyone knew that this wasn't a good time to start a war with the Turks. Thus, the officials all bowed and seconded the motion, hoping that Li Er would 'change his mind'!

"What? There were Turks sneaking into Yanhuang College? "
