Section 468
Li Shimin's eyes were now bloodshot, and his temples and chin were covered with stubble.
His hair was already in a mess.
During this period of time, Li Shimin had never rested since he received urgent war reports from the border every day.
Especially when he saw the war report saying that the Turkic army had completely broken through the Weishui area and it would not take long for them to directly penetrate the inland, waves of regret appeared in Li Shimin's heart.
"Damn it!!! Damn it!!!!"
"Why did it become like this!!!"
"How could things be out of my control like this!!!"
"Originally everything should be fine! What kind of mysterious power does the Turks have? Who is helping them to destroy my Tang Dynasty?!"
"Why can't Wuming and the six warriors stop a few ordinary people!!!"
"What did I do wrong? I just want to prove myself to the people of Tang Dynasty! What did I do wrong!"
"Why did God do this to me!"
Looking at the war report in his hand, Li Shimin couldn't help shouting in his heart.
If Li Shimin now regrets sending troops to the Northern Song Dynasty, he actually does.
But as an emperor, Li Shimin will never admit this matter. Emperors will never make mistakes. This is the consensus of all the kings of the empire!
Looking at Li Shimin who has become so haggard, Empress Changsun also showed a strong look of reluctance in her eyes.
Especially in the middle of the night, when Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin's dejected look and felt the powerlessness emanating from him, Empress Changsun also regretted why she didn't stop Li Shimin from sending troops to the Northern Song Dynasty?
In fact, when the situation of the Tang Dynasty was very good and the Tang army's battle situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was also very perfect, Empress Changsun felt uneasy.
But when she saw Li Shimin full of confidence, she didn't dampen his interest. After all, since the appearance of the Tiandao list, Empress Changsun rarely saw Li Shimin as happy as he was at that time.
Looking at Li Shimin's embarrassed appearance now, Empress Changsun wanted to persuade him, but after some thought, she didn't try to dissuade him.
Because Empress Changsun knew Li Shimin's temperament too well, even if she went up and said it to the sky now, Li Shimin in this state would never listen.
Although Empress Changsun was very reluctant to admit it, she knew clearly in her heart that in Li Shimin's heart, his love for the country was greater than hers.
Then Empress Changsun went directly to the temple in Chang'an City to pray for Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty.
Empress Changsun understood that if she wanted Li Shimin to get better, she had to let the Tang Dynasty successfully overcome this difficulty, otherwise Li Shimin would not listen to anyone.
And Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince of Wei Li Tai were naturally very uncomfortable when they saw Li Shimin's current appearance.
They had gone to their mother, Empress Changsun, to ask Empress Changsun to persuade Li Shimin.
But when Li Chengqian and Li Tai found Empress Changsun, before they finished speaking, Empress Changsun just said:
"With your father's current state, he will not listen to anyone's words."
After saying this, Empress Changsun left directly.
After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were very helpless, and then they wanted to find Li Shimin themselves.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince of Wei Li Tai felt that as Li Shimin's children, they must do something at this time.
Although their mother Empress Changsun had said that this trip was useless, they still wanted to give it a try.
Then the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince of Wei Li Tai of the Tang Dynasty slowly walked into the palace where Li Shimin was.
Looking at Li Shimin, who was like a madman now, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were stunned at first. After a while, Li Tai slowly walked towards Li Shimin, who was sitting on the ground with his head blocked by the military newspaper.
"Father, I don't think you need to do this now."
"Those Turkic trash will never get in."
"There are countless talented people in our Great Tang, and there are several peak powerhouses in the realm of land immortals. Why should we worry about those uncivilized Turkic people?"
"The reason why the Turkic people can enter the Weishui area so quickly is just because those Turkic bandits suddenly attacked our army and our army did not react for a while."
"After what happened recently, the troops of all parties in our Great Tang have already entered a state of preparation for war. With just a few Turkic tribes, they will definitely not be able to make any progress!"
"Now we just need to wait for the uncles and uncles in the Northern Song Dynasty to bring back their troops, and then counterattack the Turkic people."
Seeing that Wei Wang Li Tai was talking to Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, as the prince, would naturally not miss the opportunity to show himself.
Then Li Chengqian walked straight to Li Shimin and said softly:
"Father, your brother is right. You can't treat yourself like this now!"
"The Tang Dynasty is in turmoil right now. If something happens to you at this time, it will be a major event that will shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Besides, since your father came to the throne, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty has greatly improved compared to before. Even now that we have lost that part of the Wei River, it is absolutely impossible for the Turks to advance further into the depths again!"
"What we need to do now is to sort out what happened recently, and then let the border guards guard against attacks from various Turkic tribes."
"As long as we can wait until the soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty come back, victory will belong to our Tang Dynasty sooner or later!"
At this moment, something Li Chengqian never expected happened in front of him and Li Tai.
Just when Li Chengqian wanted to continue talking, Li Shimin, who was holding the military newspaper, finally put it down, and then revealed his terrifying eyes that seemed to devour everything in front of him.
Before Li Chengqian and Li Tai could react, Li Shimin raised his arm and hit Li Chengqian in the face.
With just one blow, Li Chengqian flew out directly.
"waste!!!"
Looking at Li Chengqian who was lying on the ground covering his face with his hands and his eyes full of doubts, Li Shimin cursed loudly.
"It doesn't matter if Li Tai is ignorant, you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Why are you so short-sighted!"
"With your current ability, how can you expect me to pass the throne to you with confidence?!"
At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian on the ground with a look of hatred.
When Li Tai saw this, he was frightened and fell to his knees on the ground, never daring to say another word.
At this time, Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at Li Shimin's blood-red eyes, as if they were seeing a devil, and endless chills arose in their hearts.
Looking at the two cowardly sons in front of him, Li Shimin's anger became even more intense.
Especially the current Li Chengqian, Li Shimin doesn't like him no matter what.
Unconsciously, Li Shimin actually compared Li Chengqian, who was kneeling in front of him, covering his face with his hands, with Ying Ziyu.
But at the moment of comparison, Li Shimin felt that there was no comparability between Li Chengqian and Ying Ziyu!
Looking at Li Shimin in front of him, Li Chengqian felt even more aggrieved, and instantly felt that he had been flattered by a horse's hooves! .
Chapter 413: What you can’t get is the best!
Compared with Ying Ziyu, Li Chengqian is like dog shit on the ground and the bright moon in the sky, there is no comparison at all.
In terms of talent, Ying Ziyu is number one on the list of geniuses. In terms of strength, Ying Ziyu once intimidated more than a dozen top land gods and celestial beings on Xiake Island. In terms of wisdom and strategy, Li Chengqian is no match for Ying Ziyu.
Looking at Li Chengqian in front of him, Li Shimin suddenly sighed in his heart:
"How great it would be if my child could be like Ying Ziyu!"
Just when Li Shimin wanted to continue to teach this "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" Li Chengqian a lesson.
There was a sudden burst of light in the sky outside, and then the information on the treasure list came to everyone's eyes.
Looking at the brand new Heavenly List Nine States* Treasure List filled with the power of Heavenly Dao in the sky, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly filled with a hint of hope.
"Perhaps, if I can possess a treasure that is on the list of Heavenly Dao, after my Tang Dynasty receives the blessing of Heavenly Dao, I can naturally overcome this difficulty!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but murmured in his mouth.
If he could get blessings from heaven, Li Shimin would definitely not want to do anything where "man can conquer heaven".
The reason why Li Shimin made up his mind to send troops to the Northern Song Dynasty to conquer the enemy was precisely because he knew very well that even if there were still some places on the famous sword list at that time, there would definitely be no swords that could be on the famous sword list in the Tang Dynasty.
After all, their Datang is different from other empires. Although their Datang is very powerful in terms of culture and military power, it can even be ranked at the forefront of the countries in the Central Plains.
But the shortcoming of their Tang Dynasty is that they have no accumulation. The Tang Dynasty was only the second generation in the hands of Li Shimin.
It is precisely because compared with other empires, the Tang Dynasty lacks the "foundation" accumulated by ancestors for generations, so whether it is the list of geniuses, the list of divine weapons, the list of famous swords, etc., the Tang Dynasty does not have corresponding treasures to be on the list.
But now the appearance of the Nine Provinces Treasure List has once again ignited Li Shimin's desire to be recognized by Heaven.
Moreover, Li Shimin also believes that the reason why he has been so unlucky during this period is because what he lacks now is the blessing of heaven.
As long as Li Shimin can get the blessing of heaven, then he and Datang will be able to have smooth sailing again.
And all the difficulties in front of us are waiting to be solved.
After making up his mind, Li Shimin said softly to his side:
"military adviser."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the empty space around him, and then Li Chunfeng's figure walked out of these ripples.
"His Majesty."
Li Chunfeng said softly to Li Shimin.
After seeing Li Chunfeng coming, Li Shimin expressed his thoughts to Li Chunfeng without hesitation.
"Military advisor, the heavens are boiling now, and a new list has appeared in the sky, the Nine Provinces Treasure List."
