Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 339
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, on the thirteenth day of the seventh month, the city of Chang’an was drizzled, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be suppressed, and the depressed people could not even breathe.Li Chengqian sat in the Chengqing Palace with his eyes closed and meditated. The emperor couldn't see things because of wind disease, so the burden of ten thousand catties had to be added to him.

But this year is destined not to be a quiet year. There was a solar eclipse in May, and Li Chunfeng said that the country would have a bad omen of disaster, which made people in the court flustered.In Li Chengqian's view, this was a normal phenomenon, but the earthquake in Longyou completely shut his mouth.

Sitting in the hall, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Li Ke, Li Tai and others all had sad faces. The performances here today were originally caused by natural disasters, military disasters, internal and external troubles, this care Once you get to the east, you can't go to the west.

The most important thing is that without the emperor's imperial decree, none of the sixteen guards can move. Hou Junji and Li Daliang have already fought hard, and they will not be able to defend if they don't send troops.

At this moment, Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang, who went to Cuiwei Mountain to ask for an edict, walked quickly to the crowd, immediately took out the imperial edict in their sleeves, and said: "I have been sick for a long time, and I can't think about it for a long time. Order the crown prince Li Chengqian to hold the imperial seal and ascend to the Chengqing Palace, to divide the affairs of the common people, and to manage the army and supervise the country. Everything that the hundred ministers have played, will be decided by the crown prince. Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will hear about it."

After Wei Zheng finished reading the imperial decree, Chu Suiliang, who was holding the jade seal, stepped forward and presented the jade seal with both hands, which made Li Chengqian extremely at a loss.

So he asked with a dark face: "Wei Xiang, I asked you to ask for a military order. Look, what did you do wrong? Did the father misunderstand?"

"Your Highness is worrying too much, but the ministers didn't say anything. This decree was directly given by His Majesty. Your Majesty said that in the past when His Highness supervised the country, some places were often restricted, and no one dared to block the temporary use of the seal. Do as His Majesty wishes."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, all the officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. The crown prince has always managed the government in a stable manner. Today, the emperor can delegate power to this point, and the court situation will not be chaotic. It is a blessing for the country.

"Your Highness, you have always acted swiftly and resolutely, why are you so cautious today. Since it is His Majesty's order, you should obey it!"

As the leader of the army, Du Ruhui stood up and said something appropriately, expressing the attitude of the army.When Li Chengqian supervised the country before, Du Ruhui controlled all military deployments, and then invited the emperor directly.

Nonsense, can you not be cautious?In the past, when he was young, no matter what he did, the emperor would think that childishness was nothing to worry about.But it's different now, I'm an adult, and I'm going to get married soon, so I have to pay attention to everything I do.What the hell, after this incident is over, I have to find Sun Simiao to find a way to cure the emperor's old problem.

"Okay, that's the next one, Minister Chu, Yuxi is on the case, how tiring it is to hold it." After speaking, Li Chengqian got up and walked to the map, staring at the boundary of Tuyuhun with his arms folded.

"Your Highness, to the east of Xiaoshan Mountain, south of the Yellow River and the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, heavy rains caused disasters and floods. "Floods between Shandong, Henan, Huai, and the sea." Fan ethnic rebellion.

The country is already in chaos, and it is too late to provide relief for the famine, so how can they provide so much military supplies. ", Cen Wenwen has always been praised for his overall view. The country has been messed up by a third, and he can't care about Li Ke and his own little thoughts.

The memorial books of all the Daozhou states were handed over by him. There is already Qianlize country there. If the army is mobilized now, the country will not be able to make ends meet, and the achievements of the past few years will be in vain.

"Your Highness, what Cen Zhongshu said is true, don't use weapons if you can't use them. The old minister thinks it's better to send envoys to appease us. After we settle the disaster in the country, it's okay to deal with them next year.", Who doesn't know the prince Like his father, he is a master who is happy when he hears the war, but now is really not the time.

Hearing what the two said, Li Chengqian in front of the map turned around and asked indifferently: "Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, what's your opinion?"

"The Tuyuhun's invasion of the territory this time must be due to Tubo's lack of climate. Its purpose was to test the bottom line of our dynasty. The veteran believes that the earthquake in Longyou is their confidence."

What Fang Xuanling said is correct, the Central Plains dynasties have always followed the national policy of keeping the home in order to fight against the outside world, and they will never go to war easily unless they clean up the house.

Tuyuhun and Tubo wanted to take advantage of Datang's illness this time to kill Datang and completely restore the land that Tuyuhun lost in the previous war.

"Your Highness, I believe that this battle should be fought. As the saying goes, if there is no destruction, there will be natural disasters everywhere. Therefore, in order to boost the people's hearts and morale, we must severely attack Tuyuhun's arrogance, so that they will no longer dare to spy on the Central Plains.", Du Ruhui slapped the teacup in his hand on the table fiercely, and said with gritted teeth.

Hehehe..., after listening to Du Ruhui's words, Li Chengqian laughed heartily, no loss to the Prime Minister of Military Affairs, this bone is hard to get. "Everyone, I know that you are all loyal ministers of the imperial court, and your thoughts and concerns are all for the country and the people.

However, Tuyuhun's habit of taking advantage of the fire and robbery cannot be used to it. With such a head, who can guarantee that these foreign countries around will not stick their noses in the face!Don't be afraid to break these pots and pans. If they are broken, we can rebuild them again. "

During the conversation, Li Chengqian took out the token and handed it to Changsun Wuji: "In order to show the solidarity between the army and the people of the Tang Dynasty, I decided to dump all the treasury of the East Palace to fund military supplies and civilian use.

In addition, the money allocated to Dianzhong Province a few days ago will be recovered together, and it will be assigned to the household department, the house minister, and uncle. You two will be responsible for this matter. "

Hey, hearing what the prince said, all the ministers in the hall gasped. Who didn't know that the prince usually lives a simple life and has an industrial zone in his hand, so the money in his hand is astronomical. In this way, The money for the Western Expedition will be settled, and there is no need to fry oil on those suffering people.

Since there is no need to collect so much military expenditure, a fight is not a big deal. Wei Zheng and Cen Wenwen also looked at each other and then stopped talking.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward, he could move any money, but the money saved in the palace could not be moved.Then he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, then, that is the money His Majesty approved for your wedding. The prince's wedding is a national ceremony. This, this is delaying the auspicious time selected by Qin Tianjian. Besides, the Crown Princess Dugu Shi, gentle, dignified, quiet and Yifang, how do you face her by doing this?"

The household department was in charge of the eldest son Sun Wuji, and no one knew better than him where every money went. After hearing his reply, everyone stood up and tried to persuade the prince.Didn't do that, Datang is not poor enough to use the money from the prince's wedding to fight wars and provide disaster relief.

"Okay, don't say any more, just do what Gu said. The concubine of the Tang Dynasty is not so easy to be. This truth should be clear to her on the day she receives the imperial edict. In addition, the Duke of Dai and the Duke of E Please come, it seems that this time I have to work hard for them.".
