Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 447

It is a dream for all the generals in the Tang Dynasty to worship Li Jing as their teacher. Just look at Hou Junji, and you will know that only by learning the seventeen strategies of war from this old guy, you will become a scornful man. Shuai Cai, there is a general who doesn't want to have such an opportunity as him!

Just like what Li Jing himself said, his art of war is the enemy of ten thousand people. Anyone who learns it can make meritorious deeds. Li Chengqian was taught by him when he was in the army, and he really benefited a lot.

But there is a problem. The generals who want to learn the art of war with Li Jing have to get the permission of the emperor. This is the case for Hou Junji, and it is even more true for Su Dingfang. Take a bite by yourself, isn't this stealing the chicken but not losing the rice?
But Li Chengqian is already a prince, and he doesn't need to rack his brains and work hard like a courtier to compete for official position and wealth, so it doesn't matter whether he learns the art of war or not, as long as he knows how to control generals.

Besides, isn't the emperor worried about Li Jing all the time?Why did he send him to the East Palace? Could it be that he wanted to see if he would feel rebellious when he had a minister like Li Jing?
Full of doubts, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the Mingde Hall, he saw Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong chatting and laughing.

It just so happened that I was worried that no one would answer my questions, so stop laughing and get headaches with me, that old thing is a hot potato!

After Li Chengqian finished talking about what happened in the Chengqing Palace, Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong's happy faces disappeared in an instant.

If an ordinary prince gets a teacher like Li Jing, he will definitely dance with joy and respectfully invite him back as his father.It is a trivial matter whether to learn his art of war or not. The key is to get Li Jing's support, which is equivalent to gaining his influence in the army.

But there are always exceptions. Li Chengqian is different from other princes, or he is different from the princes of all dynasties. He is a prince who independently owns tens of thousands of tigers. There is no need to use Li Jing's name to consolidate his position.

"His Royal Highness, you should try your best to refuse. Li Jing is a hornet's nest. This old boy is full of suspicion. There are a lot of people following him no matter what he does. Now, to avoid suspicion, he almost took off his clothes and slept in front of the mansion."

Xu Jingzong is by no means alarmist. Some time ago, Shi Tang Fengyi, the governor of Guangzhou, wrote to the emperor that Li Jing was going to rebel, and listed the corresponding "evidence".The emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Integrity to conduct a thorough investigation. Finally, it was determined that Tang Fengyi had committed false accusations and died, and he was exiled in Yazhou to serve as a slave to the army.

In addition, many people thought that the matter between his two sons and the king of Changle, Li Daoxing, was Li Jing's but their intention to make money. Naturally, their intentions went without saying. Since these two incidents happened, Li Jing has closed the door Self-defense, put an end to guests, although relatives are not allowed to enter.

Now that the emperor sent him to the East Palace, not only would it not bring any benefits to the Crown Prince, but it would make people associate him with the Crown Prince. This would affect the entire East Palace. I really don't know what the Emperor thinks.

"It's useless. I have no reason to disagree with His Majesty when I choose a master for my son. I don't do bad things at ordinary times, I don't fear ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and I don't worry about those gossips. The only thing I don't understand is what is Your Majesty thinking?" "

It was a fact that the emperor did not trust Li Jing. Not only Li Jing himself knew it, but also the bystanders, so no matter how much sincerity Li Jing showed, in the eyes of everyone, he had reasons and conditions to rebel.

Besides, is the rebuttal useful?Just before he arrived at the Chengqing Hall, the emperor had already sent someone to the Duke of Wei's mansion to deliver an edict.

"Your Highness, the old minister thinks that things are not as bad as the Yan family thinks. If the minister's thinking is correct, His Majesty should mean this."

Changsun Wuji analyzed the emperor's intentions from two aspects. On the one hand, since the emperor had guaranteed him to serve in the Tang Dynasty, there were too many doubts about Li Jing, which made any monarch feel uneasy.

From assisting Li Xiaogong to pacify the south, the generals and schools of the Tang army and the auxiliary army he strangled, from excluding Yuchi Jingde, to helping Zhang Baoxiang at the end of the Northern Expedition, and wanting to continue the Western Expedition with the army in hand.

And every time he was sent to battle, there would be a story. Let’s talk about the second battle of Tuyuhun. His actions in the army were too suspicious, so he was exposed by Tang Fengyi, who went out with the army.As for whether what Tang Fengyi said is true or not, it is unknown. In the world, only the emperor himself may know.

The reason why he was not moved was because Li Jing was a man who could be restrained. Even if he couldn't prove his loyalty, he couldn't do anything to the hero of the Zhu Kingdom. The Taishi is the best choice.

On the other hand, it is time to talk about the emperor's test of Li Chengqian. The most difficult thing to be an emperor is to control the generals. The generals of the guards in the court are not civil servants. They are very different from the generals in the Eastern Palace.

It's true that Li Jing is a hot potato, and he is also the most difficult person to control among the ministers. If the crown prince can manage such people well, then he will naturally have nothing to worry about in the future.As for the people in Li Jing's lineage, it's up to the prince to deal with it. It doesn't matter whether he accepts it completely or takes the best of it. It's a reward for the time being.

"Ah, uncle, you said that." Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Fang Xuanling and Shangguanyi walked in. After seeing the ceremony, Lao Fang took out a notebook from his sleeve and handed it to Li Chengqian. .

I don’t know if I don’t read it. After reading it, Li Chengqian gave Changsun Wuji a thumbs up. He guessed right, the emperor dumped this big burden on him. On the day he became the prince and grand master, he completely cut off the source of income for the Duke of Wei.

No, the imperial court confiscated all the spices and money hoarded by Li Dejian and his brothers on the grounds that officials should not compete with the people for profit, and at the same time issued a huge fine to the Duke of Wei according to the law.

But the Duke of Wei couldn't afford the money, so the emperor wrote in the canonization decree that the teacher was in trouble, and the disciple accepted his labor, which made Li Jing owe Donggong a big favor, and Fang Xuan Ling and Ling happened to come to the East Palace to collect the bill.

"Fang Xiang, if Gu is crying poor now, isn't it too late!"

"His Royal Highness, it's just a matter of saving money and avoiding disaster. Who made Li Yaoshi your teacher!"
