    ?

    When Li Shimin returned to the main hall, he immediately called Fang Xuanling into the palace.  Fang Xuanling had just left for a while, and just returned to the office, thinking about what he had discussed with Li Shimin before, his buttocks were still hot, and now he was summoned by Li Shimin, so he had to rush to the hall immediately to see him.

    Li Shimin said directly: "Sit down, there is no need to be polite."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Fang Xuanling lifted up his robe and sat down after expressing his thanks.

    Li Shimin said directly: "Fang Qing, I have already made a decision."

    Fang Xuanling said: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

    Li Shimin said: "I have decided to fight Du Qi to the end. He wants to threaten, and I will accompany him to the end. I will not release the merchants of the Xia Kingdom. Even, all the businesses of the Xia Kingdom will be seized."

    Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face became even more stern, and he said: "Since we have already started a full-scale war with Xia Guo, then this time, I will accompany you to the end."

    Fang Xuanling said: "I obey the order!"

    In fact, he felt that it was difficult to choose between the left and the right. Now that Li Shimin had made a decision, Fang Xuanling immediately agreed.

    "Report!"

    Just at this moment, a servant entered.

    The servant bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Pei Qingsong is asking to see you outside the palace."

    Li Shimin raised his brows, with an expression of surprise on his face.

    Pei Qingsong is the oldest person in the Pei family, already in his eighties and nearly ninety years old.  A person of this age is like a human being in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Pei Qingsong comes from the Pei family of Hedong, and is also a master of Confucian classics.

    Among the scholars, Pei Qingsong has great influence.

    Although Pei Qingsong's influence is not necessarily that of Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, it should not be underestimated.

    Li Shimin ordered: "Xuan Pei Qingsong enters the palace."

    The servant immediately went to deliver the decree.

    Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Pei Qingsong seldom goes out. Now, he is nearly ninety years old and has come to Chang'an. I'm afraid there must be something important."

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "You'll know when you see it."

    Fang Xuanling suddenly asked: "Could it be related to Du Qi and Xia Guo?"

    Li Shimin said: "It's not yet known."

    Fang Xuanling had a solemn expression on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "I think it is very likely that it has something to do with Xia Guo. Although His Majesty has decided to fight Xia Guo to the end, he will not release the merchant. But what does Pei Qingsong have?"  Please, if there are any remonstrances that may even make His Majesty angry, His Majesty, please be careful."

    After a pause, Fang Xuanling continued: "On the one hand, Pei Qingsong is from the Pei family in Hedong, with great influence;  The old senior in the middle school. Therefore, no matter what, you must give Pei Qingsong some face, and you cannot directly slaughter Pei Qingsong."

    Li Shimin nodded.

    Not long after, I saw an old man with a bright head stepping in.

    He is Pei Qingsong.

    He was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes, his thinning and gray hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin, and he walked with a cane and a hunched back.  When he entered the hall, his steps were steady and he did not appear old at all.

    Pei Qingsong stood still and said: "Old man, see His Majesty the Emperor."

    Li Shimin said: "Pei Gong doesn't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, Pei Gong has been recuperating in Wenxi County, Hedong. Now the weather is getting hotter. Why did Pei Gong come to Chang'an?"

    Pei Qingsong said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this old man came to Chang'an because of the arrest of a businessman from Xia Kingdom."

    Li Shimin's complexion suddenly darkened.

    Sure enough!

    Sure enough, it was because of the businessman of Xia Kingdom that he was arrested.

    A mere businessman from the Xia Kingdom was arrested, but the Pei family from Hedong, as one of the great families in the world, stood up for the people of the Xia Kingdom, and even brought out old antiques like Pei Qingsong, which is really surprising.

    Li Shimin said: "Did Mr. Pei come to persuade me to release him?"

    "yes!"

    Pei Qingsong answered directly.

    Li Shimin said: "What if I don't let him go?"

    Pei Qingsong shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty is a wise man who truly benefits the people, and he will not let people go."

    While talking, Pei Qingsong had already taken out a letter from his sleeve.  This letter is quite thick, with a thickness of two inches. He held the letter in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is the letter of Wanmin.  do business??: "That's good."

    A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "We are now waiting for the news from Persia. Once Persia sends troops, we will send troops quickly. It is only in the direction of Jiuquan, Suzhou. I hope Li Ji can delay as much as possible."

    Fang Xuanling said: "Li Ji is a person who is good at planning, he will arrange it. After all, His Majesty has already informed him before. So now, His Majesty just needs to wait and see what happens."

    After a pause, Fang Xuanling said again: "However, it is still necessary to send a letter to inform Li Ji and make him ready to stand firm. Because if Persia does not take action for a long time, Li Ji may not be able to guard for such a long time. In short,  Let Li Ji make a decision on the fly."

    Li Shimin nodded and said: "You arrange it."

    The two monarchs and ministers talked about the frontline war, and they also had expectations.

    Everything is ready, just waiting for news from Persia.

    Although the turmoil in Datang continued, after the region stabilized, Jiuquan in June was even hotter.

    Li Ji, who guards Jiuquan, is under more and more pressure.

    During this period of time, he has been guarding.

    After all, he never played.

    And Du Qi's side never attacked.

    For Li Ji, Du Qiyue did not attack, but Li Ji was actually under tremendous pressure.  On the contrary, if Du Qi attacked, because Li Ji was well prepared and could use the city wall to resist the bombardment, his strength of about 60,000 troops would be enough.

    On this day, on the tower.

    When Li Ji was inspecting the defense on the tower, it was the soldiers who came to inform Li Ji that Changsun Wuji invited him to go.  Li Ji could only interrupt the patrol, and went back to the room directly.

    Li Ji looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Duke Qi, you told me to come back, but what's the matter?"

    Changsun Wuji said: "Director Li, there is news from Chang'an. In the territory of Tang Dynasty, His Majesty has arrested merchants from the Xia Kingdom wantonly, and His Majesty has already summoned an army of more than 200,000. When the Persian side sends troops, His Majesty will  We will send troops to fight Du Qi again. Your Majesty's message now is to try to delay as long as possible, the longer the better. Of course, if we really can't hold on, and there is no movement in Persia, then we have to find our own way out.  "

    Li Ji nodded and said: "It's okay right now, after all, we can persist. Right now, there is still enough food and so on."

    Changsun Wuji said: "In short, we must also prepare for the way back."

    Li Ji nodded.

    He and Changsun Wuji discussed carefully and planned the follow-up arrangements.  Since it is to be arranged, it is natural to arrange everything properly to ensure that there will be no unexpected situations.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
