Soon.

Li Shimin also learned about the plans of these people.

The letter that Li Linfu had just sent out appeared unchanged in Li Shimin's hands.

"Sure enough, they're becoming desperate."

Seemingly not taking these people seriously, Li Shimin smiled lightly.

After all, he was the one who orchestrated the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The actions of Li Linfu and the others were just the leftover tricks he was playing with.

"Remember these names and have someone imitate Li Linfu's handwriting to rewrite a letter of surrender, praising An Lushan's extraordinary bravery. Remember, this letter must be delivered to Zhang Shougui."

Li Shimin said meaningfully.

The administrator didn't understand his intentions and looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

Seeing this, Li Shimin smirked and said, "Zhang Shougui and An Lushan claim to be as close as iron and stone. I want to see if they truly have no grudges."

Meanwhile.

Zhang Shougui and An Lushan, who were far away in Youying city.

Did not exceed Li Shimin's expectations.

These godfather and son were not as inseparable as they claimed.

When they received the letter sent by Li Shimin, which had already been altered to be a "letter of surrender" full of praises for An Lushan, Zhang Shougui was indeed not happy.

Obviously, he was the one who had planned everything.

An Lushan, at best, was just a thug.

How did he become more important when others saw him?

Zhang Shougui was already a suspicious person, and no one had mentioned it before, but now that it was pointed out to him.

He really did notice something out of the ordinary.

"General An is brave and skillful in battle, and has both wisdom and strategy. With General An, everything is bound to succeed!"

Zhang Shougui got angry.

It turns out that he, as a military governor, was just a decoration.

Zhang Shougui did not do what he did before, secretly communicating with An Lushan, and even secretly instructing his confidant to investigate whether An Lushan had any ulterior motives.

In the tightly connected Youying city, a spark has finally been ignited by Li Shimin's letter.

As for Chang'an city.

Under the rampage of the stubborn king Zhang Jiuling, it was turned upside down.

Although they had been secretly colluding with Youying city before.

But now, they were still being tossed around heavily.

And the key was that Zhang Jiuling never did anything big, he only picked those things that were not worthy of death but enough to cause people to die socially.

This morning, he targeted the deputy magistrate of the Dali Ministry.

"Your Majesty, the deputy magistrate of the Dali Ministry, as an official appointed by the court, has been frequenting Qinlou Chu Court and accumulating debts for several days in a row. He should be punished!"

Li Shimin lazily sat on the dragon throne, looking uninterested in Zhang Jiuling's words.

The deputy magistrate quickly said, "Your Majesty, I..."

Before he could finish, Li Shimin impatiently interrupted, "I don't have time to listen to your arguments. You all know how to handle the court officials who linger in Qinlou Chu Court."

With that, he leaned forward and asked, "Is there anything else to report?"

The court officials standing in the hall looked at each other, unsure of what the Emperor meant by this.

Li Shimin yawned.

"If there is no report, then you may leave."

After speaking, he didn't care about the splendid expressions of the court officials and left directly.

Left on the ground, the deputy magistrate thought to himself, "..."

Is this, a conviction?

Li Linfu looked at Zhang Jiuling strangely, "Zhang Commissioner seems in high spirits."

As the truly spirited Zhang Jiuling didn't want to dawdle with Li Linfu, he directly clasped his hands and left.

"You're too humble."

Before the words even had a chance to fall, he had already left the hall.

Li Linfu, who was waiting to argue with him for three hundred rounds, thought to himself, "..."

His mother, has this old man changed his ways?
