    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Shimin said, "I summoned you all because of Hou Junji's expedition. I just received the news from Su Dingfang and Gao Shilian that Hou Junji led the army to Guazhou and stationed there  A conflict broke out at Du Qi on the border, and after the two sides fought, Hou Junji was defeated and captured."

    Wow!  !

    When everyone heard the words, they all changed their colors.

    They even started talking and discussing, because Hou Junji was also an important minister in the court, and he was actually captured.

    50,000 Tang elites.

    This is not a small amount, but it lost.

    When Du Ruhui heard this, he paused for a while, stood up, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty. Du Qi is my son. He fought against the court and made a mistake. I implore Your Majesty to come down with the crime.  "

    In front of Li Shimin, Du Ruhui didn't beg for mercy, but directly pleaded guilty.  Although Du Ruhui had expected such a result a long time ago, when facing him now, Du Ruhui was shocked in his heart.

    Not long after Hou Junji left, he was taken down by Du Qi, which shows Du Qi's strength.

    His son is not simple.

    Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Keming, get up, I believe in you, and even more in the friendship between you and me."

    Du Ruhui thanked him, stood up and sat down, but said: "Your Majesty, General Hou and Du Qi have fought, is there any contradiction in it?"

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "According to the letter written by Gao Shilian and Su Dingfang, Du Qi took over my will and appointed Gao Shilian as the governor of the Anxi Dufu, but let Gao Shilian work in Guazhou.  After Hou Junji learned about it, he thought Du Qi was rebellious, so he led his troops to attack, but was finally defeated and captured. Basically, it¡¯s as simple as that.¡±

    Du Ruhui said: "When I get home, I will send a letter to the Western Regions to teach Du Qi a lesson. He is really lawless."

    The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly: "Du Ruhui, what you said sounds nice. Who knows if your father and son have secretly communicated with each other, that's why Du Qi knew the situation of Hou Junji thoroughly, which led to Hou Junji's defeat.  "

    Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and echoed: "Du Xiang, you should reflect on yourself."

    At this time, Li Chengqian made a statement.

    Du Qi rebelled, and Li Chengqian was very happy, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to deal with Du Qi.  So when Changsun Wuji spoke, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to stand up.

    "The minister is guilty!"

    At this time, Du Ruhui knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is Du Qi's father. Du Qi had a conflict with the imperial army in the Western Regions. I beg Your Majesty to agree. I will resign and return home, and will no longer be involved in the government affairs of the court."

    Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian. He didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so reckless after a few years.

    Du Ruhui is an important minister.

    This is the prime minister of a country, who is responsible for the national economy and people's livelihood.  But at this moment, Li Chengqian reprimanded Du Ruhui directly, and asked Du Ruhui to explain clearly.

    How could anyone treat important ministers like this.

    Li Shimin stood up, walked in front of Du Ruhui, supported Du Ruhui himself, and said: "Keming, the friendship between you and my monarch and ministers has been decades, how can I not believe you. The prince is young and impulsive, his words do not represent me. You  He is an important minister of the imperial court, how can he say that if he puts down the pick, he will put down the pick? This matter is absolutely unacceptable."

    Du Ruhui bowed and stood up, saying: "Your Majesty trusts and values ??me, and I am very grateful. But Your Majesty, my son Du Qi is now at war with the court. No matter what, if I stay in the court, it will cause criticism, and even some people will  Question Your Majesty. Therefore, I must resign. During this period of time, I will thank guests behind closed doors and ignore foreign affairs to prove myself. Your Majesty, please arrange for bad people to be stationed outside the palace so as to monitor the news."

    Li Shimin said: "Keming, why did this happen!"

    Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, this is to prove my identity. I have to punish my son for committing a serious crime. Moreover, this kind of behavior is also to prove that I, Du Ruhui, am open and frank. After following Your Majesty for decades, I can be honest with God.  I swear that I have never done anything to offend the imperial court, let alone betray His Majesty."

    Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Keming, I believe in you. You don't have to care about the prince's words."

    Du Ruhui still resigned.

    After Li Shimin tried to persuade Du Ruhui to stay, Du Ruhui insisted that Li Shimin would not keep Du Ruhui and let Du Ruhui leave.  But Li Shimin did not agree to Du Ruhui's request to resign, but just let Du Ruhui go home.

    Li Shimin sighed in his heart when he saw the bleak figure of Du Ruhui leaving with his back slightly hunched.

    Du Ruhui leftThe layout is a thought that I already have.

    It involves Du Qi.

    Du Ruhui was not easy to express his opinion on many things, so it was most appropriate for Du Ruhui to simply leave.

    Li Shimin was also helpless.

    Li Shimin turned to look at Li Chengqian, and scolded: "Prince, you must remember your identity. You are a prince, you must have the heart and structure of a prince, and don't target Du Ruhui just because of your own selfish desires. Du Ruhui is a man, I am  I understand. He will not use his personal expenses for the public, and he will not cooperate with the enemy."

    Li Chengqian's cheeks twitched, he finally didn't have the courage to argue with Li Shimin.

    After all, Li Chengqian did have selfish intentions, and it was because of Du Qi that Li Chengqian deliberately said such things against Du Ruhui, so that Du Ruhui resigned voluntarily.

    However, Li Chengqian did not regret it.

    Li Chengqian had his own thoughts in his heart, but he opened his mouth and said: "The teachings of the father and the emperor, I will keep it in my heart."

    Li Shimin returned to his seat, looked around at everyone and said, "Now that Hou Junji is defeated, let's talk about it, how should we deal with it? After all, it is impossible to ignore this matter."

    Li Chengqian said: "Father, it is natural to send troops to fight. Du Qi's battle wiped out our Tang Dynasty's 50,000 troops. If the court does not respond, it will have a huge impact in the end. Even local officials,  He will weigh the power of the imperial court. So at the moment, no matter what, we must send troops."

    "The minister seconded the proposal!"

    Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with the prince's words, we must send troops. It's just that Hou Junji is also a veteran with rich experience, so why did he lose so quickly?"

    Li Shimin expounded the detailed battle situation, and also talked about the situation of gunpowder, landmines and hand grenades.  Although Li Shimin didn't know what kind of weapons they were, there was no doubt that these weapons played a big role.

    After Li Shimin finished speaking, Fang Xuanling fell silent.

    Fang Xuanling said: "Du Qi didn't show any signs of researching weapons when he was in the Tang Dynasty. It wasn't long before he arrived in the Western Regions. In a short period of time, he actually developed such a powerful weapon. This matter has affected us, but  Even so, I think it is still necessary to send troops. After arriving at the border, I will meet with Du Qi and talk about other things."

    After a pause, Fang Xuanling continued: "When it comes to dispatching troops, I suggest that Duke Wei lead the troops."

    Li Jing is now the Duke of Wei.

    As for the official position, Li Jing has already resigned due to physical discomfort.  Li Jing is well aware of the truth that when water is full, it will overflow. He only has a title, and under this premise, the emperor regards him more highly.

    Li Shimin nodded and said: "Xuanling's words are true, and we will follow Xuanling's arrangement now. This battle will be led by Li Jing, and I will go to Guazhou personally. I want to see what this Du Erlang is going to do."  .¡±

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "When I am not in Chang'an, the crown prince will supervise the country, and Fang Xuanling will assist."

    "My son obeys the order!"

    Li Chengqian became excited after receiving the order.

    This is an opportunity.

    His supervising the country means that there is a lot of room for manipulation.

    Fang Xuanling also responded immediately.

    Li Shimin also arranged many things to send troops, including food, weapons, and soldiers. In general, it was Li Jing who arranged the dispatch. After all, besides Li Jing, there were also many generals in the army who were going to fight, and some advisers also wanted to accompany them.

    After the arrangements were made, Li Shimin waved his hands to make everyone retreat.  After the civil servants and generals left, a servant entered and whispered something next to Tang Zhen.

    Tang Zhen said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor invites you to go."

    Li Shimin nodded, got up and left the palace, and went straight to the palace where Li Yuan was.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
