King Zhen La sent Li Shimin away.
The smile on his face slowly turned into desolation.
At this moment, looking at the pitch-black palace, he felt incomparably terrified.
It was like a huge cage.
Not only was this huge dragon looking down on the common people coldly, but it would also extend its sharp claws and teeth at any time.
And he was a chess piece crawling at the feet of this huge dragon.
It was very sad.
But this was his true situation.
He had to choose a faction to rely on. Otherwise, what awaited him would be complete destruction!
Tubo. There was no need to think about it. This was a hungry wolf that ate meat without spitting out the bones.
And India?
It was the same.
Previously, King Zhen La was still wavering. However, after receiving the letter from his son, he made up his mind. Since they all forced him, he would take everyone away!
He knew that the Tang Dynasty.
He had also looked up to it before.
He didn't know if the bet this time was right or wrong, but he had to consider Zhen La's future.
The Tang Dynasty was his last backer.
"Father?"
Unknowingly, King Zhen La had returned to that cold cage.
At the door, the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort were looking forward to it.
Although it was already late at night, their eyes were full of rewards.
King Zhen La waved his hand, indicating for the Princess Consort to go to sleep.
Then, he closed the door and sat quietly in the dark room with Crown Prince Shiva.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
It was as if the two of them had fallen asleep in the darkness.
It was also as if there was no one in the darkness.
After an unknown amount of time.
King Zhen La asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you saying that all of Zhen La's treasures were told to you by that master called Zhang Feng? Is he really just the shopkeeper of a small tavern? "
"Yes! He is indeed a shopkeeper! "
"In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't go to a small tavern!"
"Yes, I understand."
The room was silent again.
No one knew what King Zhen La was thinking.
But at this moment, in Li Shimin's bedroom.
Li Shimin was still awake.
"Guanyin Maid, do you think we are being merciful to King Zhen La this time?"
Li Shimin told Empress Zhangsun everything that had happened just now, as well as what had happened in the tavern today.
At this moment, his mood was slightly better.
At the very least, it was confirmed today that Zhen La had no intention of rebelling.
"Second Brother, isn't the current crisis starting to be resolved?"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun in surprise.
Empress Zhangsun pursed her lips and said, "Originally, I shouldn't have interfered with Second Brother's decisions, but I feel that now, we have already made a counterattack!"
"The people of Tubo and India probably still don't know that Your Majesty knows about this matter. Moreover, the moment King Zhen La left, I had already cleaned up the mess. This matter won't spread for the time being!"
"And now, the first stage of Tubo's probing has passed. Although Zhen La is helping the evildoers, he has revealed everything tonight. This is a good thing for Second Brother. Second Brother can wholeheartedly solve the problem of Tubo."
"The root of the problem is still Tubo's drought!"
"But I feel that at this time, we should give them a little warning!"
"What kind of warning?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed as he asked.
He knew the key point of this matter.
As long as they firmly controlled Tubo and Tuyuhun, the Turkic people's desire to join forces and invade the south would collapse. Moreover, as long as the cooperative was established, as long as there was a steady stream of economic recovery, they would naturally not have to worry about their probing.
After all, none of them could afford to waste time!
Now, as long as they dealt with Tubo, would the Turkic people and India be able to cause a ripple?
No!
Under the situation of being exhausted, everyone knew that it was a military taboo. Moreover, Xue Yantuo, who was watching the Turkic people, did not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, why would he need to join forces with other countries?
After thinking through all this, Li Shimin's expression could not help but soften.
He could not help but smile bitterly. "In the end, the Tang Dynasty is still short of money. If the country is rich and the people are strong, who would dare to act rashly?"
"Second Brother, there's no need to worry too much. No one dares to carelessly start this war. Just as Zhang Feng said, whoever starts this war will be the country that will perish. What they're doing now is simply putting pressure on the Great Tang!"
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
Hearing this, Li Shimin's interest was aroused.
He wanted to see who dared to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty!
"Tubo!"
"Except for Tubo, there is no one else."
"Second Brother, have you forgotten the last negotiation? They dared to cause trouble in Chang 'an City. Do you think they will let it go this time?"
"Last time, Second Brother, you asked them for 40 million gold. They went back and advertised vigorously, but they could not produce it. Obviously, they have realized that they have fallen into a trap. Second Brother, what do you think you will do if you are in their shoes?"
Li Shimin put his arms around Empress Zhangsun's slender waist.
"Guanyin Maid, you are really my good wife!"
Empress Zhangsun blushed and said coquettishly, "Second Brother, don't be happy first. There is still one thing that needs to be done."
"What is it?"
"A show of force!"
