They walked out of the tavern.
The sky was slowly darkening.
Li Shimin swept away his good-natured look and looked up at the dark red sky in the west. He asked calmly, "Official Wei, do you think it's feasible?"
"Your Majesty!"
"I think it's feasible!"
Li Shimin was silent.
However, in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of madness flashing.
This was too crazy.
If he didn't take this step properly, the Tang Dynasty would fall into an abyss of no return!
But if he succeeded, he would become an existence that surpassed the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor!
This was an unparalleled honor for every monarch!
This was what a Son of Heaven should do!
This was the courage an emperor should have!
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had refused in the imperial court today, Tubo would have made a move in desperation! What would happen to the Tuyuhun and Turks who were watching?
He didn't dare to think about it!
If they didn't come up with a plan after the imperial court today, what would happen now?
Li Shimin admitted that he didn't think as far as Zhang Feng!
Although Zhang Feng kept saying how wise he was, only he knew that he couldn't do all this!
Li Shimin wanted to say his idea today. He wanted to get all the food from Tubo in one go. But before he could say it, Zhang Feng vetoed this idea.
And he even told him the consequences of doing so!
At that time, Li Shimin was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If he did that, in five days, the Tang Dynasty's border would break out into war!
And it would be the Tubo, Tuyuhun and Turks' allied army!
Could he resist them?
He couldn't!
The Tang Dynasty was recuperating now. There were 300,000 soldiers guarding Youzhou, 100,000 patrolling Chang 'an City, 200,000 in Tongguan, 500,000 in Longyou Road, and 200,000 in the south. Other than that, the Tang Dynasty didn't have a single soldier!
If a war were to break out now, then …
Would his army of 1.3 million be able to stop the blossoming battlefield?
When he entered the palanquin, Li Shimin looked in the direction of the small tavern with a complicated expression and sighed in his heart.
"Thank you!"
… …
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, around Taiji Palace, squads of Golden Guards were patrolling the area. In the imperial study of Taiji Palace …
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling sat restlessly with serious expressions on their faces.
"Brother Fang, do you know why His Majesty summoned you?"
Fang Xuanling sipped his tea leisurely. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know, but it must have something to do with Tubo's visit!"
Du Ruhui frowned.
"Haven't we already discussed this matter? Don't tell me … His Majesty went to the tavern? "
Fang Xuanling didn't say anything. He just nodded lightly.
"No wonder! No wonder the Golden Guards are patrolling so intensely. His Majesty left the Imperial Palace again! "
"Then according to what you said, it was the emperor who summoned us outside?"
"His Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, Xiao Guizi's shout came from outside the Imperial Study. The two hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground.
"These old officials Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui respectfully welcome His Majesty!"
"You may rise!"
Li Shimin hurried into the Imperial Study. Behind him, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin stood with frosty expressions.
After entering the Imperial Study, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Official Cheng, take my token and personally guard the Imperial Study!"
Cheng Yaojin also knew that he wouldn't understand if he was asked to participate in this matter. He hurriedly bowed and took the token from Li Shimin.
"This official will not let a single bug in!"
After that, Cheng Yaojin left with a heart full of joy.
After Li Shimin sat down, he waved his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down. He said, "This time, we've come to a conclusion about how to deal with Tubo!"
"Wei Zheng, tell them everything. Then we'll come up with a plan!"
"Yes!"
Wei Zheng bowed and told them everything that had happened.
"This is what happened. Today, we followed His Majesty out of the Imperial Palace and went to a small tavern. In the tavern …"
As Wei Zheng explained, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were shocked.
What kind of operation was this?
Selling the blueprints to Tubo at a normal price? Wouldn't that benefit Tubo?
How could they do such a thing?
However, as Wei Zheng spoke, the faces of the two men swiftly turned ghastly pale.
When they heard that the Turks had entered another calamity, Fang Xuanling was so agitated that his body trembled.
He almost knelt down and asked for help.
However, at this time, Zhangsun Wuji pressed his hand and also joined in.
Li Shimin was still excited when he heard it for the second time.
Although this was the tavernkeeper's plan, Li Shimin felt that if this plan was carried out, the Great Tang at that time would be something that all the other countries could only look up to!
All the countries would come together!
What kind of scene would it be?!
Li Shimin did not dare to think about it.
After half an hour of explanation from Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were trembling with excitement, and said in a serious voice, "You know how serious today's matter is. If even a little bit of it is leaked out, it will bring a great disaster to the Tang Dynasty!"
The four were shocked.
They hurriedly knelt down.
"We will keep our mouths shut!"
Li Shimin waved his hand. "Now, I want an answer!"
