Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 553 Your Majesty, Do You Remember Your Cousin?

For Li Chengqian, today is a good day. He is always holding back in Chang'an City, but sooner or later he will make people nervous. There are battles to be fought, and he can enjoy different scenery. This is not much more interesting than competing with officials every day.Being familiar with the road, he asked Fang Du and others to discuss specific issues such as soldiers, horses, money and food in Shangshu Province, and reported to the emperor for approval after handling these trivial matters.

For the same thing, different people naturally have different moods, which corresponds to the saying that some people are happy and others are sad, especially for a stubborn old man like Wei Zheng. After waiting for the first class, they went to the Zichen Palace to persuade the emperor to change the commander of the Southwest battlefield. He could be replaced by anyone, but the prince could not be used.

Many of the courtiers currently in power have experienced the two dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and saw with their own eyes how a powerful country like the Sui collapsed in such a short period of time, and became a unified dynasty that died like the Qin Dynasty.The emperor and his cousin Yangdi had too many similarities in the way they behaved. In Wei Zheng's words, they also had an unrestrained tiger in their chest.

Such a monarch can build meritorious deeds for the country, and can also lead the country to destruction. Then the country's destiny is really a wonderful use, with one heart in mind.As those who have witnessed that turmoil, Wei Zheng and the others don't want to go through it again, especially if they still train the prince according to the tossing method. In this way, the next generation will not be able to stop.

Someone once made such a comparison between the emperor and Yang Guang. Not only did the courtiers think it was reasonable, but when it was heard by the emperor, he himself laughed it off.First, both of their thrones came from wrong paths, they both robbed their elder brother's throne.

Second, both of them made great military exploits before becoming emperors. When Yang Guang was the general manager of Yangzhou, he led Han Qinhu, He Ruobi and other famous generals to attack Chen in the south, and successfully destroyed the Chen Dynasty, realized the unification of China, and set a new record Immortal merit.And Li Shimin is not bad at all. He fought in the south and north in the troubled times of the end of Sui Dynasty, and put down Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heitai and other separatist forces.

Third, both of them are very talented. Yang Guang is not only a politician, but also a good poem.Many of his poems have been extolled by later generations, especially the line "The jackdaw flies to count, and the flowing water circles the isolated village".In addition to being good at Feibai, Li Shimin is also good at writing poems and poems. Xiao Yu once passed on the poem praised by the emperor to everyone on different occasions.

Fourth, both of them had surrendered to the Turks. Both Yang Guang and Li Shimin sent troops to expedition to Juemo, which frightened the Turks.Yang Guang toured the Western Regions and made the Turkic Qimin Khan bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal.And Li Shimin was regarded as "Heavenly Khan" by Turks, and created the prosperity of Zhenguan Dynasty.

Fifth, both of them were born in Guanlong, and they both have Xianbei blood. Both Yang Guang and Li Shimin were born in the Guanlong aristocratic group in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.Yang Guang's grandfather was Yang Zhong, one of the Twelve Generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Li Shimin's great-grandfather was Li Hu, one of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Sixth, both of them are talented and ambitious. Yang Guangying built Luoyang, the eastern capital, and built the Grand Canal to run through the north and south, moving the country's economic and cultural center of gravity to the east and south.And Li Shimin strengthened the imperial examination, realized ethnic exchanges, and created the rule of Zhenguan, which laid a solid foundation for the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

These two emperors have so many things in common, it's strange that the ministers can sleep soundly, so it's not unusual for them to look at him in the same way.

Zichen Palace, after getting the intention of Wei Zheng and others to come, Li Shimin looked solemn, put down the memorial in his hand, and said with displeasure in his voice: "Xuancheng, the Tubo king has already given his name and surname. Shrinking your head like a turtle? If you really can’t even fight a battle, then he doesn’t want to be the crown prince, and I don’t want to be a wimp to inherit the great Tang Dynasty.”

It is the emperor's strong point to see the stitches in every corner, so of course it is impossible for him to tell Wei Zheng and the others that their father and son had discussed it a long time ago, and if they don't use such a ready-made excuse now, then wouldn't I have failed Songtsan Gampo's intentions in vain.

Besides, Li Shimin knows the role of his little bastard all too well. He is a person whose bones itch when he hears the sound of knives and guns. This is not as good as fulfilling him.

"Your Majesty, soldiers are dangerous. As the country's foundation, His Royal Highness, every single hair is related to the peace of the country. There is a saying that the son of a thousand gold can't sit down. What should we do if something goes wrong on the battlefield! The court cultivated a It is not easy to be a qualified heir, and this kind of risk cannot be taken, so I implore Your Majesty to change the coach."

After Chu Suiliang finished speaking, Yu Shinan took the words again: "Your Majesty, I have an inexhaustible supply of generals who can recruit and fight well. Why does Your Majesty have to use the crown prince? Although His Highness is different in martial arts from Ordinary people have strong talents, but after all, this battle at a young age is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, should we choose a mature and prudent veteran to go there?"

Hearing that the two men were going to change commanders, Li Shimin couldn't help smiling, took a sip of tea slowly, held the teacup, and said lightly: "Gentlemen, this is not the first time Gao Ming has led an army to an expedition, isn't it? Is he fighting well? If he is not a prince, but a son of an ordinary Xungui family, and has made so many military exploits, I will definitely give him a third-rank general."

Li Shimin was just picking on the blind, if the sons of Youxungui's family were as shrewd as this kid, the first thing Li Shimin would do would be to kill all his family members.Leaving such young courtiers is like breeding tigers and causing endless poisoning. There are many such examples in the past dynasties. Li Shimin will never let this happen in the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the two teammates dragged the topic away, Wei Zheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes. What you said was far from what we were talking about.

Therefore, Wei Zheng further said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the prince was allowed to join the army to let him understand the importance of military affairs. Now that you have allowed the prince to lead the army to conquer and form a habit, then my Tang Dynasty will be more powerful in the future." An emperor who likes to conquer.

Although the domain is large, if you are warlike, you will forget it. If you develop a bad habit of fighting everywhere, then the Tang Dynasty will never have peace.If the common people don't have a rest, they will complain and rise up, and the lessons of the previous Sui Dynasty are right in front of them.Your Majesty, have you forgotten your cousin? Do you want Tang to follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty? "

Hearing Wei Zheng's rebellious words, he even compared the prince who has made great contributions to the country to the king of subjugation. Isn't this cursing the death of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin's forehead was green and violent, he stood up, pointed at Wei Zheng and shouted loudly: "Tian She, believe it or not, before the country is destroyed, I will kill your family first!".
