Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 591 An Audience at the Zichen Palace

What Du Ruhui was worried about was not unreasonable. Chang'an City said it was big or not, and it was not small. And out of control.

However, Li Chengqian didn't care that much. Whether it's the royal family or the relatives, there are many embarrassing things happening every year. These things are just the talk of everyone after dinner. When there is new news, people's eyes will shift there. After going, who can always hold on to one thing.

In Li Chengqian's view, there is actually no difference between the memory time of humans and fish. They are both forgetful. As long as no one dies, it is controllable. die.

After the Ministry of War handed over the seal, Li Chengqian came to the Zichen Palace. He knew that the emperor and the empress had been waiting here long ago. His parents were not far away, and it had been more than half a year since the expedition. Other parents with multiple siblings.

After entering the palace, Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped down to the steps and paid respects: "I will see my father and queen mother. I have been away for more than half a year. Your two elders are in good health!"

Okay, okay, after saying three good words in a row, Empress Changsun walked down the steps, helped her son up and began to look him up and down.Although the military newspaper said that the prince was only in command on the front line and did not go into battle, but this kid has always been a character who reports good news but not bad news, so he is always worried if he doesn't see it for himself.

Seeing Empress Changsun raising her hand and turning around while her son was being pulled like a puppet, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and said, "Guanyin maidservant, take a break and turn around again. I'm going to faint. Didn't Chengfan and the others talk about it? You still have nothing to worry about."

Regarding the emperor's words, Empress Changsun really didn't take it seriously, she continued to look at it, and replied: "Your Majesty, King Jiang Xia and the others have their mouths blocked by this bastard, how dare they say anything. Besides, didn't the deputy chief executive, Su Dingfang, also go into battle shirtless?" What kind of coach is there, what kind of general is there, don't you know this truth?"

Li Chengqian's eldest grandson believes everything, but she doesn't believe a word about the battle formation. The sun comes out in the west.

"Gao Ming, hurry up and talk to your mother, she has complained that my ears are almost callused in the past six months!" After speaking, Li Shimin took a sip of tea happily.

To be honest, when Li Daozong and the others first said it, he didn't really believe it. Since this kid commanded the Sixth Commander, he has always been in front of the battle, and he is the first to defend against the enemy. If everyone agrees, he will have to believe it.

You must know that the vast majority of them are his confidants, and they will not tell lies to deceive him.This Western Expedition has three joys for Li Shimin. The first is to publicize the prestige of the country and let all the countries in the world know that the Tang Dynasty will always be the Celestial Dynasty and is irreversible.

Second, it completely changed the situation in the southwest, consuming a lot of the vitality of Tubo, so that the tiger entrenched on the plateau had to retreat back to inflict that hideous wound.Moreover, my Tang army even occupied a large area of ​​land such as Jiangyuan as an outpost, forming a countermeasure against Tubo.

The third and last point is that Gao Ming can act according to the situation and know how to protect himself well. This can be regarded as a result of experience, and he can rest easy when commanding the army in the future.

"No", after replying, Li Chengqian helped his eldest grandson back to sit down again, and then replied respectfully: "In the past, in battles, my sons and ministers were either supervising the army or a general manager. The murder weapon is also capable of injuring the enemy as well as oneself, so the ministers have to bow down and do it themselves, and dare not pretend to be in the hands of others.

But this battle is different after all. As the commander-in-chief of the 20 Tang Army, I dare not be negligent, so let the people below do it.Besides, Erchen is already a father, and this fat boy has not been hugged yet, and he is a little afraid of death, so he can only stay in the Chinese army. "

After hearing Li Chengqian say that he was afraid of death, Li Shimin and his wife laughed along with them, especially the empress Changsun hit her son a few times before she got angry.They all know that Li Chengqian has a tenacious character. Yu Guo has made a lot of contributions to the battlefield for many years. If he is really afraid of death, he can just stay in the palace. There is no need to personally risk Shishi. It's just to make them happy.

"Okay, okay, Gao Ming, come, sit here." After pulling his son over, Li Shimin put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let the horses fight bloody for several months, wipe out ten enemies." Tens of thousands of people, my son's military achievements are not inferior to any famous generals in the world, and I am honored as a father. I must reward you, just tell me, if you have any request, I will not deny it."

The battle was won, but Li Shimin knew that Donggong Liu led a lot of generals and soldiers who lost the backbone in this battle, not one out of ten suffered the most damage.These people have followed Gao Ming for many years, and the generals and soldiers have a deep relationship, but in order to encourage all the ministries to move forward bravely, Gao Ming had to let them set an example.

Li Shimin was born as the emperor, so he naturally knew what the generals were thinking when they returned to the court. The other troops have rewarded them, but the sixth rate was left at the end just to hear his opinion. It should be rewarded a little.

The emperor's words touched Li Chengqian's heart. To be honest, he was about to say this, but he was afraid that the emperor would think that he was proud of his achievements and leave the impression of being a soldier. Now that the old man said it himself, there is no need to hide it. Tucked in.

So, Li Chengqian got up and knelt down, took out a sackcloth bag from his arms very solemnly, then opened it carefully and presented it up, and said in a deep voice: "Father, this is the bag that I picked from the upper and lower eight villages and Yasong city." Some of the suicide notes that came out contained their last wishes, they sacrificed themselves for the victory of Songzhou's self-defense counterattack and served the country, and I beg my father to read it!"

Seeing his son's seriousness, Li Shimin's expression also became serious. He knew that this was a business, and he couldn't laugh at it. The eldest grandson empress beside him also became curious, and got up and walked to the emperor's side, staring at the emperor's hand to look at it. Got it.

"Father, mother, my son can't go back, so tell Sanniang not to wait for her son, and find a good man to marry. You two elders are getting old, and you can live a good life with the court's pension. Don't think of me as an unfilial son. "

"Rou Niang, I killed fifteen Tubo barbarians in this battle. Ce Xun has turned five, so I can bring up the three children in the family. And the cow in the family must be taken care of. It is yours. The capital for the mother and child to settle down and live."

"Second boy, I can't go back, you have to take care of your father and mother at home, don't gamble, otherwise I will be a ghost and I won't be able to spare you.".
When Li Shimin was reading these suicide notes in vernacular, Li Chengqian said with sadness on his face: "When the war was fierce, everything that could be dismantled in the fortress was demolished, and everything that could be eaten was eaten up. To attack, the soldiers had to burn their flesh and blood and jump into the enemy army and fight until they were burnt."

After putting down the suicide note in his hand, Li Shimin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "Gao Ming, I understand what you mean, and I will not treat those brave men who are loyal to the country badly.".
