Li Shimin hurried to Beijing to meet his father when he received the war report from Jiangnan. On the one hand, he wanted to point out the seriousness of the situation to his father. The Tang Dynasty must respond. On the other hand, he wanted to reconcile with his father. At the critical moment of the Tang Dynasty, he must put the overall situation first, give up disputes, and unanimously go to the outside world.

The father is in his prime, and who will be on the throne in the end can be put in the future. In the current national crisis, the first thing to do is to protect the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin quickly walked to the door of the Imperial Study Room, and suddenly hesitated. If the emperor refused to accept his reconciliation, he must be placed under house arrest. What should he do?

Although he felt that this possibility was not great, it was possible after all. If the father listened to the prince's advice and took a trick to imprison him, it would be more than worth the loss.

But since it has arrived, Li Shimin couldn't help but. A eunuch went in to report to him and came out for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the Lord will announce your visit!"

Li Shimin calmed down a little, then walked into the imperial room. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three respectfully, "Son of mine, I wish my father a lifetime and a long life!"

Li Yuan looked at this rebellious son with complicated eyes. At this time, he had no resentment in his heart. He thought of his deceased wife. A ray of father-son relationship arose from his heart, and his tone became softer, "Get up, son!"

"Thank you, Father!" Li Shimin stood up and stood with his hands down in front of his father.

Li Yuan asked him again: "Why didn't your third brother come back with you?"

The third brother is Li Xuanba. He has always been with Li Shimin. Li Xuanba is relatively simple in thinking about the problem. He is unwilling to follow Li Jiancheng of the Appeasement faction, but rather willing to follow the second brother of Li Shimin of the war faction.

Li Shimin hurriedly bowed and said, "The third brother is now following General Duan Zhixuan to guard Sensuwara. If the father wants to see him, the son-in-law will send someone to find him back immediately."

"It's not necessary. I just asked casually."

Li Yuan changed the topic and said, "The emperor must have heard of Li Mi's destruction!"

"Reporting to my father, I have heard of this, but I think that Li Mi's destruction is actually inevitable, and it is not surprising."

"Why is this?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"Father, Li Mi's roots are the Wagang Army. The people who supported the Wagang Army were in the Central Plains, but Li Mi gave up the Central Plains and went to Jiangnan. Even if he destroyed Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, he could not get the support of the famous gentry of Jiangnan. Yang Yuanqing was able to occupy the north because of the support of the Shandong gentry, and we were able to sit firmly in Chang'an because of the support of the Guanlong nobles. Li Mi had nothing, just like a rootless duckweed. How could he not fail in the end?"

Li Yuan gradually heard what his son said, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He glanced at the resignation report piled on the ground and asked coldly: "You came here specially. Are you just going to accuse me of giving up the foundation?"

Li Shimin was so scared that he knelt down, "I dare not. I heard about the Guanlong nobles when I entered the palace that the son came from Fufeng. In fact, there were two things to be presented to my father."

"Don't mention any matters that have nothing to do with you."

Li Yuan snorted. "Tell me! What are two things you have to present to me?"

"Father, the first thing is that my son is willing to resign from the position of General Tiance. My son has offended the emperor's brother in the past, and I want to apologize to him in person."

Li Yuan was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he understood his son's implication, that he no longer sought the position of the Eastern Palace, gave up internal strife, and resigned from the position of General Tiance. This is obviously the meaning of this.

In fact, Li Yuan also realized that the internal strife between the two brothers was the root cause of the repeated failures of the Tang Dynasty. He also hoped that the two brothers would no longer compete for power and make concerted efforts to the outside world.

Li Shimin's statement made Li Yuan feel very relieved. The slight displeasure caused by the Guanlong nobles just now disappeared. He smiled and said, "The emperor's statement is the most gratifying sentence that my father has heard this year. I hope you brothers can work together to overcome the danger together."

Li Shimin kowtowed heavily, "My son will never let down his father's expectations."

"Get up and talk!"

Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to get up, and then asked with a smile: "Then what is the second thing you want to say?"

"The second thing I want to say about the situation in Jiangnan is that Yang Yuanqing's attack and destruction of Li Mi is actually just his first step. His next step must be to attack Jingxiang. Now the one who is most worried about is Jingxiang. Nanyang County has Xu Shiji's 40,000 troops. The number of Sui soldiers in Jiangnan is unknown. But if you consider surrendering soldiers and the Xiao Du coalition forces, you think there are at least 150,000 people. In this way, one east and one north, the total force of the Sui army besieged Jingxiang is about 200,000, and Xiaogong only has 80,000 troops. Father, the situation is very critical!"

This is the real reason why Li Shimin was rushing to come to Chang'an. If Jingxiang fails and Bashu can no longer be saved, then the Tang Dynasty will be over.

Li Yuan didn't say anything for a long time. It should be said that Li Shimin's view was consistent with him. He also believed that the Sui army would inevitably attack Jingxiang in the next step, but he was still unsure of his mind about how to deal with it.

"With the emperor's opinion, how should we deal with the danger of Jingxiang?" Li Yuan knew that since his second son Shimin came to talk about this, he must have some ideas.

Li Shimin bowed and bowed, "The child has three strategies to offer his father and emperor, and ask him to decide."

Li Shimin also learned to be smart. Every time his suggestions were never adopted, it was because he was determined to fight. This time he simply offered three strategies. No matter which strategy it was, as long as his father chose one, it was his contribution.

Li Yuan nodded, "Tell me! What three strategies do you want?"

"At present, we have a total of 200,000 troops in Guanzhong and Guan. We can divide our troops to fight. The best strategy for Erchen is to concentrate 100,000 troops to attack Hedong. As far as I know, the 100,000 Sui army guarding Hedong and Taiyuan are all new recruits. As long as we have a rapid offensive, we will advance to Taiyuan in one go while Qin Qiong is not able to return, even if we cannot conquer Taiyuan, it will inevitably shock the Sui Dynasty. Yang Yuanqing will have to give up his plan to attack Jingxiang."

This time, Li Yuan was indeed carefully considering Li Shimin's plan. He walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and then turned around and asked, "What is Zhongce?"

"Reporting to my father, my son's minister's Zhongce also divided his troops into two groups, one with 30,000 troops heading south to defend Bashu, and the other with 70,000 troops supporting Jingxiang, so that the Tang army's strength of Jingxiang reached 150,000. The two sides fought against Jingxiang. If the Tang army wins, we will take the opportunity to capture the entire south with one spirit."

Li Shimin did not stop and continued: "Another talk about the worst strategy, my minister's worst strategy is to give up Jingxiang, withdraw his troops back to Bashu, and do his best to protect Bashu."

Li Yuan walked to the window and he could accept all three plans. But he couldn't accept them either. He gave up Jing Xiang and fled back to Bashu, but he couldn't accept them, but he ran out and fought with the Sui army. He was not mentally prepared for a long time. He sighed and said, "Let me think about it again!"

Li Shimin bowed, "The son of the son will not disturb the father's deep thoughts."

After saying that, he also glanced at the resignation report piled on the ground. He wanted to persuade his father, but reason told him that if he mentioned this matter again, he would be wasted all his efforts. Li Shimin had no choice but to bow and retreat.

Li Shimin walked out of the imperial study room, looked up and happened to meet Prince Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng's face darkened. He snorted heavily, turning his head to ignore him.

Li Shimin stepped forward and gave a deep bow, "Shimin apologized to the emperor!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned. He didn't react and said coldly: "What else can we say between us?"

"In the past, Shimin was wrong, and he always wanted to think about something that did not belong to him. Now Shimin has repented and apologized to the emperor's brother. I will fully support the emperor's brother in his performance of the prince's power."

After saying that, he bowed deeply again. Only then did Li Jiancheng understand what he meant. It turned out that he wanted to reconcile with him. Li Jiancheng was not as easy to be blinded by father-son family affection like his father Li Yuan. He was quite calm and knew his brother very well. He knew that his second brother was cruel and scheming, so he would never give up fighting for the throne with him easily.

However, the Tang Dynasty is in danger now, and if the two brothers can reconcile temporarily, it will only be beneficial or harmless to the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng smiled faintly and said, "Do you want to go back to Fufeng now?"

Although Li Jiancheng did not explicitly say things like both sides holding hands to make peace, his attitude was obviously a kind of reconciliation. Li Shimin certainly understood. He quickly bowed and replied: "I am naturally following my father's arrangement. If my father doesn't let me go back to Fufeng, I will stay in Chang'an."

"Um!"

Li Jiancheng nodded, "You go first! Let's talk about it if you have time another day."

"I will take my leave first."

Li Shimin bowed and turned around and left. Li Jiancheng looked at his back, his heart full of confusion. Did his brother really regret it?

At this time, a eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Lord, you can go in."

Only then did Li Jiancheng take back his thoughts and walk into the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, Li Yuan's mood was obviously much better. He asked with a smile: "You should have met Shimin at the door, right?"

"Yes! He actually apologized to his son."

Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, "That's what he deserves. I'm very pleased. As long as he can stop his horse, I can forgive him."

Li Jiancheng had a change of mind. He would not seize the military power of the Qin King, so he would just leave it alone! But he didn't dare to say this, so he had to ask: "Did your second brother come for the Li Mi incident in Jiangnan?"

"That's true, he proposed three strategies to deal with the Jingxiang crisis, and I was undecided for a moment."

Li Yuan then said Li Shimin's three strategies and finally said: "I prefer the Zhongshou. I have not violated the treaty between the two sides, and can also seize the south with the flow. What do you think about the emperor?"

Li Jiancheng glanced at the resignation statement on the ground. He came to discuss the resignation of the Guanlong nobles, rather than dealing with the Jingxiang crisis. But since his father asked him, he was not good at not expressing his opinion. After thinking about it, Li Jiancheng said: "Father, it is better to convene a meeting of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss with the prime ministers."

A sentence reminded Li Yuan, and he nodded, "What the emperor said is very true, I almost forgot about the Political Affairs Hall."

Li Jiancheng gave a deep courtesy, "Father, emperor, son minister came to resign for the collective resignation of the Guanlong nobles."

Li Yuan's face became solemn, and he said a little displeased: "Are you going to let me bow to them?"

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Father, now we cannot have civil strife. My son will take responsibility for this matter. My son will persuade Prime Minister Duhu and Prime Minister Dou, telling them that the father was not planning to tour the south, but was preparing to personally enlist in Jiangnan to eliminate their misunderstandings."

Having said that, he actually lowered his head in disguise. Li Yuan's face became more ugly. Finally, he said coldly: "Well! Stop this matter first, and I will deal with them one by one in the future."
