Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 65

Chengqing Hall

"I just want those old masters to shut up. It's good for you, you put yourself in it. What's the matter, your wings are stiff, and you want to jump on the battlefield, why don't you go to the sky?" Li Shimin pointed to Li Chengqian loudly reprimanded.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting at the emperor's head, also shook his head: "Your Highness, how old are you? The battlefield is dangerous. If something happens, it will shake the country. Why can’t you remember the truth of the Tang Dynasty?”

Li Chengqian knelt on the ground, seeing that what the two of them had said was about the same, he raised his head and asked, "Father, have you finished your reprimand?"

Seeing his innocent face, Li Shimin was amused: "What are you trying to say?"

"This old guy Gan Yun has no eyesight, and he doesn't know how to get a cushion." Li Chengqian rubbed his sore knee and complained.

"Chengqian, stop making trouble. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. You must know that in all dynasties there was no prince to lead the army." Changsun Wuji saw Li Chengqian's cynical look, and immediately spoke to stop his nephew's nonsense .

"Even without the hint from my father, my son-in-law will stand up today. First: Tuyuhun has repeatedly provoked incidents on our borders, killed my soldiers, and captured my people. The dead old guy is really heavenly.

Second: Regardless of which dynasty or generation those barbarians didn't finish taking ours, they turned around and beat us.Could it be that the money and grain of my Tang Dynasty came from the strong wind, and wasn't it thrown out by the common people in the field?If you can't even protect them, what face do you have to reach out to collect taxes from them?

Thirdly, Erchen is different from them, they are cubs who don't care about Tian Tian, ​​​​and the money of the court does not belong to their family. As for who will be the princess, as long as it is not from their family, it will be fine.The ministers also have sisters, no matter if they are their brothers, they cannot watch their own people being sent to a foreign land to be ruined by those barbarians who want to drink their blood.

Fourth: I don't know if the emperor paid attention to it, but none of the ministers who shouted about etiquette all day long jumped out to object, isn't it strange?Why did Li Yanshou jump out at this time? Didn't he know that the master humiliated the minister to death?They are just trying to make a name for themselves. "

What Li Chengqian said was reasonable. As the brother of those princesses, he would rather fight on the battlefield by himself than his sisters suffer.

The son has done this, what else can he say as a father.Li Chengqian was his eldest son. He was smart and sensible since he was a child. He didn't let him worry about it. Instead, he was always able to share his worries at critical times.

For example, going to Luo Yi's army as a hostage, and the disaster relief in Guanzhong last time.And a man's feelings towards his first son are always different.

Alas, "Go, say goodbye to your mother, and go to prepare to go out with the army. When you grow up, I can't keep you locked up. When you go to the battlefield, you have no eyes, and it depends on your luck to become a dragon or an insect."

After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji also smiled at each other. They were of course optimistic about Li Chengqian's growth.In the past, Li Shimin always felt that Li Chengqian was good at the hands of women in the deep palace. Even though he was more proficient in literature, he was still just a small way.

Wei Zheng said before that in troubled times, military affairs are used to achieve success. Isn't the reason why Li Jiancheng failed because he didn't have military power?After all, the Tang Dynasty established the country with military force. If the future emperor can't fight, how can he deter those arrogant soldiers?

"Auxiliary machine, Li Yanshou, Chengqian said, go down and check it carefully. He was in charge of meals when I was in the East Palace before, and he was diligent in his work.

But these few times when the court discussed affairs, he always relied on his own censor to speak out, and the speaker was innocent, and he was talking nonsense there. Is there something wrong with it? "

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji smiled sinisterly and said, "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of rumors and gossips in Chang'an's world recently. Many people can't sit still, and this Western Expedition can just use this Western Expedition to unify people's hearts. Otherwise, how about the Northern Expedition?"

After bidding farewell to Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian did not return to the East Palace, but went directly to the Six Rate Camp, and told the Six Rate Generals about the expedition to Tuyuhun.

This made the officers of the Six Commanders very happy. Many of them are the children of noble families. They will do nothing in this life, and they can inherit titles, big and small, from their own father, but so what .Great Tang's military merits, is he able to be looked down upon by inheriting a duke?
You can see it from the samurai Xun. He sponsored Emperor Wude to raise troops, and later served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and transferred to the governor of Jingzhou, and he was named Ying Guogong.But who really regarded him as a prince?It's not the old age in that poor place in Lizhou.

Besides, there are two generals Qin and Hou leading the army this time. The Tuyuhun barbarian entrenched in Minzhou is not enough to watch. The brothers are at most running errands behind. ah.

Li Chengqian didn't think of things as simple as they did. After all, it was related to the life and death of eight thousand soldiers. As their coach, he dared not be sloppy.

Immediately, Xie Yingdeng, Luo Cheng, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yizhi and other major generals were recruited to discuss matters concerning the expedition.

"Your Highness, the terrain in the northwest is open and conducive to cavalry operations. Do you want to bring more cavalry this time?" Qin Huaiyu was the first to stand up and answer as the leader of the right guard.

Luo Cheng didn't quite agree with Qin Huaiyu's words, after all, he hadn't fought many battles, so he was still young.Although Xie Yingdeng is also his elder, but after all, it is difficult to say something about his colleagues. It seems that only his cousin said it.
"Otherwise, Your Highness is supervising the army this time. It is impossible for the two generals to let the crown prince of a country fight on the front line. They may not get any battles. Most of them are guarding the city. The general thought that he should bring more defensive weapons. Relatively safe."

"Your Highness, General Luo's words are reasonable. Besides, although the soldiers of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace have experienced some battles, they are still incomparable to the field trip of the Sixteen Guards. It is safer to bring more crossbowmen and Mo Daomen. After looking at each other with Luo Cheng, Xie Yingdeng also followed suit.

Li Chengqian pondered for a while: "Just do what General Luo said, bring more defense equipment, especially crossbows, large shields, and six-rate multipliers. If it is really our turn to defend the city, what should we do if we don't have any in the middle of the battle?" Huaiyu, Izhi, you two will go down to do it right away, and if it’s not enough, transfer it from Du Gou.”

Qin Huaiyu didn't care whether he was ashamed or not, as long as there was a battle, he saluted Li Chengqian, and he followed Fang Yi straight to prepare.
