Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

After returning to Taiji Palace, Li Er hurriedly summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other old ministers.

He slightly modified Li Nian's plan to conquer the Turks and supplemented it with his own understanding. After all, although Li Nian's plan was perfect, it could only be regarded as a strange plan. It needed to be improved to be implemented.

Li Er was a real emperor on horseback, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and was well versed in the art of war. He only made some minor supplements and improvements and read them out in front of all the old ministers.

After stating for a long time, Li Er picked up the hot tea, moistened his throat, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"My dear ministers, what do you think?"

Listening to His Majesty's words, which were favorable in terms of time, location, and people, every word hit the nail on the head.

The old ministers were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.

"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan!"

Below, the burly general Li Jing clapped his hands and said,"Last year, when Chai Shao wiped out Liang Shidu, I went to Shuofang City to see"

"The height of the city is about 33 feet. Liang Shidu has been working here for several years and has reinforced the city to be very strong."

"If we station troops and store food in this city and march north to conquer the Xiongnu, the pressure of food supply will be much less!"

Gao Shilian, who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, also said:"Some time ago, there was a severe drought in Longxi, and the Sitiantai also reported that this year Longxi will have a cold winter that has not been seen in ten years."

"I only thought about how to provide relief to the victims, and never thought about the situation of the Turks."

"Thinking about it this way, your Majesty is still thoughtful. The Turks are especially north of Longxi, so wouldn’t it be even colder? The Turks’ winter days are probably worse than our Tang Dynasty’s!"

Fang Xuanling was also unwilling to be left out, and said,"Your Majesty, whether the Xueyantuo and other tribes will assist our Tang Dynasty in attacking Jie Li, this matter still needs to be discussed.""

"But this method is definitely feasible!"

"Jie Li is a stubborn and self-willed man. The Turkic tribes have long been dissatisfied with him. If the Tang Dynasty offers generous gifts, this matter may be accomplished!"

Several old ministers spoke one after another, becoming more and more excited. They almost knelt on the ground in court and asked Li Er to send troops to conquer the Turks immediately.

Seeing that the ministers who were stubborn and opposed to conquering the Turks before were now like chicken blood, Li Er was also full of smiles.

"Fang Xuanling, I order you to befriend the Xueyantuo and Tuli tribes and win their support."

"I obey your order!"

"Li Jing, I order you to reorganize the army and be ready to fight the Turks at any time!"

"Haha, I obey your order!"

"Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, I order you to lead the officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to be responsible for the food and fodder of the army, and do not delay the army's northern expedition!"

""I, your honor, obey your command!"

After arranging everything, Li Shimin stood up ambitiously, waved his sleeves and said,"Everyone, how should we fight this battle?"

"Destroy the Turks and capture Jie Li!"

All the civil and military officials stood up suddenly, bursting with high morale.......

At 5 pm,

Li Shimin came to Lizheng Hall with great satisfaction, and was proudly telling Empress Changsun about the results of the afternoon meeting.

Empress Changsun was doing embroidery while listening to Li Er's story.

"Queen, if we win this battle, then I can sleep peacefully!"

Speaking of this, even Li Shimin couldn't help being moved.

His road to the throne was paved with blood and killing. As soon as he came to power, the Turks broke through the pass and went south, looting countless money from the Tang Dynasty treasury. This was a huge shame for him.

In order to prove to the people of the world and to future generations that he is a wise monarch throughout the ages, he urgently needs a political achievement.

It's not easy to be an emperor. If you come to power, the people don't live well, and you can't win foreign wars, it's in vain no matter how much you brag.

For an emperor like Li Er who has a strong sense of self-esteem, he has an extreme desire for political achievements.

Therefore, he was so excited at this moment.

Empress Zhangsun glanced at him and said with a smile:"I congratulate your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

"So how do you reward Kuan'er?"

"......"

Li Er's mouth twitched, and then he laughed and said,"We should give something to Kuan'er. If we destroy the Turks this time, Kuan'er will be the first to make the contribution!"

Empress Zhangsun was very satisfied, blinked her eyes, and said,"Then restore his status and let him enter the palace!"

"Look at you, here you go again!"

Li Er gave a helpless smile and said,"I can take care of this matter, don't worry."

"By the way, what are you doing? I haven't seen you do this needlework for many years."

Looking at the robe in Empress Changsun's hand, Li Er asked curiously.

Thinking back to when he was the King of Qin, he fought everywhere, killing people during the day, and only when he watched Empress Changsun sewing clothes in the barracks at night could he calm down.

However, this scene has not happened for a long time.

Seeing her again today, I can't help but miss her a little.

"This is for Kuan Er, what do you think?"

Empress Chang Sun smiled and spread out the robe, saying proudly,"I am not like you, stingy."

"I...stingy..."

Li Er was a little embarrassed by his wife's words, but he looked at her with envy and said sourly,"I haven't seen you make clothes for me for many years...."

Empress Chang Sun said with a smile:"Your Majesty, are you still short of clothes?"

"lack..."

"The clothes you made for me are now unwearable. No, the clothes you made are still more comfortable. You have to make a set for me too!"

Seeing that Li Er was in a good mood and even asked for his clothes, Empress Changsun said gently:

"Good good good..."

"I will make yours after I finish Kuan'er's."

Li Er said sourly,"Alas, I have been ranked behind him."

For a moment, the hall was filled with sour air as if there were vinegar bottles.

"Queen Mother...Queen Mother..."

The two were talking and laughing when suddenly, Li Chengqian ran in from outside the hall in a panic, his face full of expectation and asked,"Mother, are the clothes ready?"

"Qianer"

"father...Father!"

Seeing that Li Er was also present, Li Chengqian was immediately startled and knelt down to pay his respects.

""I, your son, kowtow to your father."

Seeing Li Er present, Li Chengqian suddenly felt regretful.

His father had been in a bad mood recently, summoning ministers to discuss matters for days, and countless tea bowls had been smashed. Everyone was afraid to avoid him, fearing that they would be criticized if they were seen.

He dodged left and right, but still couldn't escape.

"Get up!"

Li Erxin was in a good mood, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Qian'er, what are you doing?..."

Li Chengqian said hurriedly,"I saw your mother making clothes for me a few days ago. I was very happy, so I came to see it."

Li Er looked at Empress Changsun suspiciously, and when he saw her embarrassed, he laughed secretly.

Well, he had seen that dress on Li Nian before, so he thought his son had misunderstood.

"I...Well, your mother did it for me. If you want it, wait a little longer."

Li Er also covered for Empress Changsun.

"ah..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly waved his hand and said,"In this case, I dare not take it."

"Your Majesty Queen is so busy, how dare I burden you? I hope you take good care of yourself."

"That..." I'm fine now. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Li Chengqian was about to run away.

Li Er frowned, wondering why this kid was acting like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him. He immediately said,"Come back!"

Li Chengqian paused, almost crying. He turned around, tried to force a smile, and said,"Father, is there anything else?"

"It's been a long time since we had a meal together. Since we met at your mother's place today, let's have a meal together!"

Since he had a reunion dinner at Li Nian's place, Li Er immediately liked this feeling.

It happened that he was in a good mood today, so he asked Li Chengqian to stay here to have a meal together.

""Thank you, father!"

Li Chengqian thanked him hurriedly.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

The palace maids brought exquisite dishes and filled the table.

Li Er sat down, waved his hand, and said with a smile:"Everyone, please take a seat. There are no outsiders today. It's family dinner, don't be restrained."

Li Chengqian was a little flattered and sat down with him.

Although the royal etiquette is complicated, and it is important not to talk while eating or sleeping.

But Li Er is an emperor on horseback and half a founding emperor. He has great personal charm, so there are not so many rules.

Besides, there are only three people from the family eating today, so there is no need to follow so many etiquettes.

"Have you been studying hard recently?"

Li Er picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and asked Li Chengqian with concern on his face.

Parents always ask about grades, and even Li Er is no exception.

However, this question directly hits Li Chengqian's heart.

He doesn't like studying. For studying, the old man Wei Zheng doesn't know how many times he has been scolded. He follows him around every day to urge him to study.

"Replying to Father, I have been studying very hard recently."

"oh?"

"Then I will test you..." for���Li Er doted on Chengqian quite a lot. Not only did he make him the crown prince very early, he also equipped him with a team of heavyweight and luxurious teachers.

The members include Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, and Du Zhenglun, all of whom are great people.

If he hadn't committed suicide, he wouldn't have been deposed. He played a good hand of cards badly.

Hearing that Li Er wanted to examine him, Li Chengqian's face turned green immediately, and the rice in the bowl didn't smell good anymore.

Why did he come to this bad luck?

Wouldn't it be nice to eat while watching the little palace maids dancing in the East Palace!

Li Er thought for a moment, and wanted to use the current situation to examine Li Chengqian.

If for nothing else, his adopted son had such vision, he wanted to see what this biological son was like.

(Not a comparison, no, don't get me wrong.）

"Just tell me, what should the court do when the Turks repeatedly plunder the border areas of Longxi?"

Li Er picked up a piece of roasted mutton with chopsticks and spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned. His heart was beating fast.

Recently, the court officials have been arguing over whether to conquer the Turks, and the ministers have no good ideas. Father asked him this question, which really made it difficult for me, Bo Gan, right?
