"Your Majesty, it was His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince hired a group of merchants from the Nine Sogdian Clans. Not only did these merchants monopolize the business in the city, but they also acted as spies for the Xueyantuo, leading to the fall of Shuozhou City!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a wave of dizziness. Fortunately, Yuchi Jingde caught him, otherwise he would have fallen off his horse.

"Heavens... what sins have I committed to give birth to such a useless child!"

Where is Li Zhi?

"I want to kill him!"

"Your Majesty... His Highness the Crown Prince has been captured by Bazhuo Khan of the Xueyantuo... Bazhuo Khan said that as long as Your Majesty acknowledges him as the Khan of the Steppe and allows him to govern Dunhuang, the former Turkic lands, as well as the Uyghur, Western Turkic, and Gaochang regions on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, he will forever be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Otherwise, he will kill the crown prince..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin roared as if he had gone mad.

"Let him kill me!"

"If he doesn't dare to kill me, I'll skin him alive!"

"Yuchi Jingde, convey my order: command the rear guard to advance at full speed and catch up with me before nightfall!"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde glanced at Li Jing with great annoyance. Seeing Li Jing nod, he hurriedly went to relay the order.

In Yuchi Jingde's view, this was an almost impossible task.

After all, the rear army is at least a hundred miles away from His Majesty, how could they possibly catch up in a day?

Li Jing knew this, but he knew even better what Li Shimin was feeling at that moment.

If we remind His Majesty now, not only will he not appreciate it, but he will also vent his resentment on them.

Therefore, rather than angering His Majesty, it is better to comply with His Majesty first and then offer advice after His Majesty has calmed down.
