Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 66 Li Ke's Resentment
Chang'an Lantian County Military Industrial Zone
"Your Highness, you want too many crossbows, but I don't have that many in my hand," Du Gou said with a look of embarrassment.

Li Chengqian looked at the bundles of crossbows, stretched out his hand and took out one to examine carefully: "Brother Fumin, crossbows have always been one of the necessary weapons for defending the city.

With the continuous innovation of equipment, the demand will also increase. I know that it is difficult for you, but it is not difficult for the brothers on the front line.It was because of the shortage of crossbows that the defenders of Minzhou were not allowed to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, and the whole army died in the end.We are fighting on the mainland, and we always send troops to stay in the cities we conquer. This is also the difference between us and those nomads. "

"Mobilize the people in the nearby counties to make arrow shafts for a fee, and 100 million arrow shafts must be delivered within half a month."

"Promise, I will start to do it now." Accompanied by Du Gou, Li Chengqian then inspected the production of equipment in the military industrial zone. In terms of quantity, it was far from meeting the needs of the Tang army.But Li Chengqian believes that one day this small seed will grow into a towering giant tree.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Li Chengqian was nervously preparing for the battle, but here Li Ke kept smashing things in the study, and his long history Quan Wanji saw that this was not going to work, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Cen Wenwen.

When Cen Wenwen arrived, Li Ke had smashed everything in the study to pieces, while he himself was sitting on the ground panting heavily.

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" Cen Wenwen casually picked up the chair beside him and sat down and asked.

"Teacher, why can Li Chengqian go out to fight? Why can't this king not do it when he wants to fight the Turks? He's just biased."

Hearing Li Ke's words, Cen Wenwen smiled, stood up and helped Li Ke up and said, "Your Highness, it's just a moment and a moment, and Turkic and Tuyuhun are not the same, and the prince's trip may not be so smooth.

Although the minister is a civil servant, he still knows a little about military affairs since he was on a mission with His Majesty. Fighting a war is not an easy task.

Especially with few enemies, Tuyuhun waited for work with ease, gathered in the city and defended, even if Qin Shubao and Hou Junji were famous generals in the world, so what.There is a huge disparity in strength, there are 10,000+ enemy troops on the front line of Minzhou, and a bloody battle is inevitable.

Minzhou is close to Longxi, His Majesty will not let anyone go to the place of Li's ancestral hall to cause trouble.As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, does His Highness only care about personal interests?If this goes on, the gap between you and the prince will only get farther and farther. "

Cen Wenwen's words made Li Ke very embarrassed. He knew that his teacher was a national scholar, and in the teacher's mind, the interests of his father and Datang would always come first.

"But teacher, do we still want to let the East Palace succeed? In the past few years, we have repeatedly taken care of the overall situation, but what have we got? As for the East Palace, the power is growing day by day. Will there be anything that can be cured in a few years?"

"Your Highness, the last time you helped His Majesty to form an alliance with Tuli, after returning to Beijing, you were appreciated by the Right Guards and Your Majesty, isn't that enough?"

In Cen Wenwen's view, the gap between Li Ke and Li Chengqian is not very big, but Li Ke's overall outlook and heart are indeed much different.

Cen Wenwen's words hit the point. After returning from the grassland, Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Ke changed a lot. Not only did he hand over the military power of Youtunwei to him, but he also rewarded him with meals in the palace every now and then. This is the treatment of a son-in-law. .In short, Li Chengqian and Li Tai have some, and his Shu Palace will not be in short supply.

Cen Wenwen knew that this meant that the gap between the legitimate son and the concubine would never be resolved.If the emperor put them at the same height, then the concubine would feel that he was still a short concubine just like Li Ke.Only when they are raised a little higher than the sons of the concubines, will the sons of the concubines feel the same height.

"Your Highness, it's too late."

"But teacher, don't you think that the emperor's father has done too much? Did Li Chengqian give "big favor" to the important ministers without authorization? Did His Majesty take care of him? Did the emperor take care of him by changing his clothes and increasing the military salary without permission?
Father Huang took advantage of the natural disasters to buy people's hearts wantonly and sealed off Guanzhong. How many people ginseng him, but Father Emperor just got angry in Luoyang and let it go.Isn't the father afraid of having an elbow and armpit problem? The matter of King Zhao Wuling is not far away, isn't it? "

Li Ke became more and more excited as he talked, but Cen Wenwen frowned frequently when he heard it. Li Ke was jealous, but Li Chengqian was the prince chosen by the emperor himself after all, so what can you do if you are jealous.

"Is this what His Highness thinks every day in the mansion? Why Your Highness still can't figure it out. Many of the things the crown prince has done are deviant, but that matter is unreasonable. How wise and powerful Your Majesty is! , doesn't he know what the prince is doing?
No, there is only one result, that is, what he did was ordered by His Majesty, even if he did something wrong, he was still right. "

"The locust disaster minister in Guanzhong can see clearly that Rong Chen said something disrespectful, even if it is His Majesty, it is probably the same. Your Highness does not have the kind of vigorous and vigorous governance methods."

Li Ke admitted that Cen Wenwen was right, but he didn't want to admit that he was worse than Li Chengqian, so he said stiffly: "The teacher thinks too highly of him."

After hearing his words, Cen Wenwen shook his head: "Your Highness, you have never seen how the crown prince supervises the country, and Changsun Wuji is indeed a genius.

In just a few years, a weak prince has been trained so well.Instead of mourning and complaining, can't we work hard? "

"Excuse me for being stupid, what can I do now, sir, please teach me."

Cen Wenwen smiled: "Tuyuhun is only a disease of scabies, and the Turkic is the problem of the elbow and armpit. According to the minister, His Majesty's patience with Xieli has only lasted for a couple of years. The Northern Expedition to the Turkic is the real opportunity for His Highness to make meritorious deeds. At the same time Wouldn't it be beautiful to train a large number of civil and military personnel in the army.

If you don’t believe me, look at it, this group of civil and military officials from the Northern Expedition to Turks will surpass the former ministers of His Majesty in the Wude period in less than three years. "

Of course Li Ke wanted to cultivate his own power in the army. Although Chai Shao and the others supported him, how could they use it for themselves?Just look at the father, if there were no generals in the Qin Palace, how could he defeat Prince Yin.

"But teacher, isn't the prince going?"

"Your Highness, this is different from the battle of Tuyuhun this time. If you want to fight with Jieli, it will be a big war, a national war. No matter how big your appetite is, the crown prince will not be able to eat such a big cow. At that time, His Highness will have a lot to do.

As for the King of Yue, there is no need to worry about it. He has always been good at writing and has not had much contact with the generals and schools in the army, so it is impossible to make a difference in this national war.If there is no army in hand, then his threat will be small.
