The cold wind blew, and the hands and feet were numb.


    The strong man''s breath warmed his cold hands.


    The next second, the drumstick with the thick and thin forearm was held in his hand. The man blushed and swung his arm round. The drumstick hit the cowhide drum face in the wind.


    With the vibration of the big arm muscles, the dull drum sounded throughout the Taiji Hall Square.


    Beat the drum in the daytime.


    It''s the war report from the southwest border!


    Li Tai, standing proudly on the steps of the Tai Chi hall, heard the drum and the sound stopped suddenly.


    Your highness, hundreds of ministers and generals looked out of the hall.


    Your majesty, it is today that the war report comes!


    Li Tai was also a little excited and nervous.


    With the ministers looking out.


    The scouts galloped in and knelt down in the hall.


    "Your Highness, the southwest frontier war report."


    After that, in the attention of the crowd, the Scout held up the bamboo tube.


    At this moment, this small bamboo tube carries the hope of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty and their deep concern for the king of the Tang Dynasty.


    Li Tai''s Adam''s apple wriggled gently, slowly stretched out his hand, and said with an excited vibrato.


    "Read it."


    Father-in-law Rong, who was beside him, could not wait. He hurried forward with broken steps and took over the exquisite bamboo tube.


    Remove the fire paint, unfold the soft white paper, and introduce a line of cursive font into the eyes.


    Father-in-law Rong''s voice was clear, and his long, sharp voice rose slowly from the hall.


    "Master Wang has arrived in Liangzhou and killed more than 20000 enemies in the first battle."


    The war report is short, and the description of the war is even more general, which has been carried with a few strokes.


    Looking at the war report with a few numbers, father-in-law Rong frowned slightly and his voice stopped abruptly.


    With a touch of doubt, Grandpa Rong looked at Li Tai and said.


    "War report, that''s it."


    After listening, all the ministers present whispered.


    "Whether this war report is too concise is also a few words for the future layout, which is not very clear."


    As soon as the question was raised, people in the court began to talk.


    "There is still a war in the southwest. General Li is in charge, and general Niu, who has conquered Tuyuhun, is sure to be safe."


    "Such a war report is just to report peace to the imperial city and make a solid plan."


    Once these remarks were put forward, many people also agreed one after another.


    After all, in the Tang Dynasty, those veterans who can give advice are all around your majesty this time.


    However, this explanation has also been questioned by others.


    "The war reports have always been clear. Is it because the front-line war is tight and the two sides are deadlocked?"


    The voice of doubt is also reasonable.


    For a time, the whole Tang Dynasty hall was full of noise and chaos.


    Li Tai''s eyes twinkled, and one by one he swept the faces of the people under the steps.


    More than half of the people in the court were puzzled and questioned the war report.


    Some of them were worried and obviously did not believe that the war would be as easy as the war report.


    Unconsciously, Li Tai glanced at Gao Shilian standing at the head of the general.


    In the eyes.


    Gao Shilian''s old face was full of dignified, slightly hung his head, his eyes were bright and dark, and his face was sad.


    Seeing this scene, Li Tai sighed in his heart.


    Gao Shilian, as a representative of military generals, must have a more thorough interpretation of the war than ordinary people.


    From this look alone, it is not difficult to see that the war is not optimistic.


    Gradually, the atmosphere above the hall gradually became dignified and dull.


    Li Tai waved slightly and motioned the ministers to be quiet.


    With a deep look at Gao Shilian, Li Tai said slowly.


    "Your Majesty, it''s a blessing to fight in person and annihilate the enemy in the first battle."


    "I''m waiting thousands of miles away. If I have a heart in time, I''m powerless."


    "If you are not alone, you will temporarily replace your father, pray for the bloody soldiers on the border, and pray for your father''s king to return early."


    Li Tai''s move is also a helpless move.


    A few days ago, the Queen''s funeral had already cast a cloud over Chang''an city.


    If the ministers who have not yet fully emerged from their grief are affected by the war, the whole court will be cloudy and lifeless.


    Hearing this, sun Wuji glanced at Li Tai on the stage and guessed what Li Tai thought.


    Slowly, the eldest sun Wuji walked out of the crowd, stood on the hall and bowed his hands.


    "Worship and pray for blessings, which is a great event to secure the country and benefit the people."


    "Build up kindness and morality for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be a good start in the coming year."


    After listening to sun Wuji''s support, Li Tai took a grateful look, his eyes shifted slightly, looked at Gao Shilian and said.


    "What about the general will of the state of Shen?"


    On Shen Guogong''s gloomy face, his eyebrows stretched slightly and said.


    "Very good!"


    "Your Highness''s kindness is also a blessing for the country."


    Even with the support of the two humeral ministers, Li Tai smiled and said.


    "Even so, I''ll bother you both."


    "I hope you two can handle this matter."


    For these two royal confidants, Li Taiyan is kind and modest.


    Many ministers nodded slightly when they were praised by the two.


    The whole court meeting is also coming to an end.


    Looking at the crowd scattered towards the hall and the body shape of those humeral ministers about to go out.


    Li Tai said.


    "Everybody, please stay."


    "As a young man, I want to ask for some advice about war."
