Chapter 484 Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allow the ministers to eat a large amount of food. "It is said that Ji Song has entered the palace!"
In Taiji Hall, Li Shimin said after receiving the report from Baiqisi.
But Chen Shougang came back not long after he left. Before Li Shimin could ask any questions, he heard: "Your Majesty, I am asking for an audience with you!"
"Xuan!"
He said without thinking.
If such a big thing is not reported, Ji Song, a minister, would be derelict in his duties.
He turned out to be a big foodie. Even Li Shimin was deeply surprised when he heard this!
Dashi was more than ten thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and he actually went to Ganzhou. As the controller of this country, he didn't even know it.
What does Li Ji do for food?The Tang Dynasty was restored to the ground after letting these people escape, but they didn't notice it. If Li Ji's loyalty hadn't been confirmed, he would have suspected that they had been let go on purpose.
"My lord, Ji Song pays homage to Your Majesty!" Ji Song saluted.
"Get up!"
Looking at Ji Song, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
I have become much calmer, less aloof from the past and more worldly.
That's right. You, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, don't contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Instead, you spend all day doing nothing and hanging around your wife. What's going on?
I am very good now. I can teach students of Tang Dynasty when I have nothing to do, and I can do my duty as a courtier when I have something to do.
"Tell me, what is going on? With the abilities of your Ji family members, how could they have suffered such a huge loss?"
Li Shimin was also very curious about this, because the family soldier was really impressed by him.
After so many years, this trip to the northwest has refreshed his understanding of elites.
A mere 80 people actually destroyed three tribes with tens of thousands of people. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Even his own Baiqisi suffered heavy losses, and those of his Ji family were seriously injured at best before they met those people, and not one of them died.
But now a big food caravan who doesn't know the details has caused them heavy losses? Ji Song smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect this, and I don't even know how they came to the Fortress of the Tang Dynasty."
"The only thing I can be sure of is that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the countries in the Western Regions or the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu!"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin sat up straight and asked doubtfully: "How can you see it? Why do they do this?"
Ji Song explained: "Based on the penetration of caravans into the Western Regions over the years, they discovered that a Dashi missionary group has appeared in the Western Regions. They hold knives in one hand and scriptures in the other, and are slowly eroding the countries in the Western Regions."
"Most of the nine Zhaowu surnames have been controlled!"
"boom!"
Li Shimin slammed the tea cup to the ground. Chen Shou quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at it, let alone clean it up.
"How dare you!"
No wonder he was so angry. The land of the Western Regions had long been regarded as something he had in his pocket, but now someone was snatching it from under his nose. This meant that he was not taken seriously at all, and Datang was put in the spotlight. In eyes.
"Your Majesty, anger is useless at this time. What is ultimately important now is to find out the purpose of their visit. I guess they must have some purpose in coming to Datang this time."
Li Shimin wondered: "What purpose can they have? Do they still dare to attack the Tang Dynasty?"
When he thought about it, the other party just wanted to preach, and it was not a big deal.
Is there still too little religion in the Tang Dynasty?
Buddhism is also a foreign sect. Isn’t it now subject to the imperial power? The only thing that annoyed him was that these people simply ignored him.
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Ji Song solemnly said: "Your Majesty."
Having said this, Ji Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful!" Hiss. Li Shimin took a breath of air, what kind of sect is this? This reminded him of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was planned in just 20 years. In one move, eight states were shaken and they almost invaded Luoyang.
There are also the cultists who appeared during the chaos in the Central Plains. They are all charged by Bu without fear of death.
No, Datang will never let these people in.
He suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Thinking about it, if these people sneaked into the Tang Dynasty quietly, and with the support of caring people, there would probably be another Yellow Turban uprising in a few years!
"Pass on Li Qi!"
After a while, Li Qi, the commander of Baiqisi, appeared in the hall.
When he saw Ji Song, he just nodded indifferently as a greeting.
"I don't know what orders His Majesty has!"
Li Shimin did not show off and said directly: "How much do you know about the great food countries in the West? Did the Tang Dynasty do anything detailed there?"
Now he knows absolutely nothing about Dashi, but they have already arrived in Datang, which makes him feel uneasy! "This"
Li Qi was stunned and speechless.
"Say!"
Li Shimin said angrily.
Li Qi was excited and said quickly: "Your Majesty, no, Baiqisi has never sent anyone there."
After speaking, he looked at the emperor carefully and said awkwardly: "The big food country your majesty mentioned, which small country can actually make your majesty miss you?"
Then he said happily: "Your Majesty, please order me to lead the troops to defeat him."
"To shut up!"
Li Shimin looked at Ji Song's shocked look, and then looked at his cronies who were about to lead the troops to defeat Dashi. He felt so embarrassed.
"His Majesty."
Li Qi wanted to say something else, but when he saw His Majesty's cannibalistic eyes, he wisely shrank his neck.
"Commander Li, this Dashi is not a small country. It is no less generous than our Tang Dynasty. Are you sure you want to lead your troops to defeat him?"
That one about Li Qi is embarrassing.
If the knife was with him right now, he would be tempted to commit suicide, which would be a shame.
"Now, immediately, immediately, select capable people to turn into caravans and go to the territory of Dashi, so that I can find out the situation of Dashi."
"If you can't complete the task this time, I think you should go back to your hometown to farm!"
Li Shimin said helplessly.
He was really stupid by Li Qi. He was just uneducated and incompetent. As a person of the same age as Baiqisi, he didn't even know how to eat.
If it weren't for the fact that he had shielded himself from the knife back then, just this one thing would have pulled him out and chopped him down.
"The minister promises to complete the task!"
Li Qi quickly promised that he would not dare to say anything big now, and walked outside without looking at Ji Songjiang.
Seeing Li Qi going out, Ji Song looked strange and said: "Your Majesty, should you consider changing someone, this Li Qi?"
After saying that, he shook his head in a pretentious manner, which made Li Shimin's teeth itch! "It's time to change, but I don't have any suitable candidates. But I think you are quite suitable. How about you give it a try?"
Li Shimin said sadly, Ji Song shook his head quickly, are you kidding me? If he agreed to this, his and Ji's reputation would be completely ruined.
