Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 927 Father and son in this life, enemy in previous life!
What Ma Zhou said is correct. Even if Datang is right, he must learn to restrain himself. If he treats countries that have an affair with Gaochang in the same way under anger, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. Win the ambition to be the king of the Western Regions.

When dealing with the countries in the Western Regions, including the Western Turks, we should maintain the policy of fighting as much as possible, talking as much as possible, and wooing as much as possible. We can't kill them all with one stick, otherwise Datang will inevitably be charged with the crime of relying on the strong and bullying the weak. , This also turns the teacher from the famous into the teacher from the unknown.

As soon as Ma Zhou's remonstrance came out, it immediately won the support of the important officials in the palace. Li Shimin also felt that it was very reasonable. As for the mobilization of troops and military supplies needed for combat, there are precedents and fixed models. There is no need to discuss it in depth. When it is decided how many troops to use, there will be a corresponding quota issued.

But when it comes to who will be the commander-in-chief of the army, everyone seems a little absent-minded when leading the army to fight, and most of the candidates recommended are unsatisfactory. Fang Du and others are afraid that the emperor will implement the idea of ​​personally conquering Goguryeo on Gaochang, while other courtiers are concerned. He looked at the prince habitually. After all, since the Battle of Songzhou, the large-scale battles of the Tang army were all handled by the prince.

After the emperor and his son saw this situation, they shook their heads helplessly. Everyone was afraid of getting the name of disobeying the emperor and disobedience, so they had to put the matter on the court meeting in the future. You can go back and do errands.

At this moment, only the emperor and his son were left in the palace. The father and son looked at each other and laughed loudly. The father and son have fought together, can you be so unhappy?After shaking his sleeves, Li Shimin smiled lightly and said, "Oh, people say that father and son in this life are enemies in previous life, and it's not often that the father and son get together! Gao Ming, don't you think so!"

"What the father said, how dare the sons and fathers compete with the emperor. It's just that Gaochang is different from Goguryeo. The thousands of miles of desert and rolling yellow sand are really not suitable for Luan to visit lightly.

Moreover, Gaochang was supported by my son-in-law, so it is inevitable that there will be a crime of negligence. The son-in-law is willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, and personally leads the army to attack Gaochang, captures Qu Zhisheng and presents it to his subordinates. "

Seeing that his son was acting like a good boy when he got a cheap price, Li Shimin couldn't help but laughed and scolded: "Your thought is beautiful, Qu Zhisheng defeated my plan of the Eastern Expedition and made it difficult for me, and I still let you lead troops out to have fun? What a joke, I tell you don’t even think about it, not only there are no doors, but there are no windows.”

"I'm stuck in Chang'an and can't get out. Just stay here with me. Don't even think about going anywhere! You don't have enough errands, are you busy enough? That's fine, I will ask the Zhongshu Department to transfer all the documents to Mingde Hall Go, anyway, you are young and vigorous, and you have a lot of energy." Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at him, shirking responsibility very unkindly.

"Don't, don't, you should keep those memorabilia, I don't dare to step over for no reason, it's not the rules, and it's easy to cause gossip.

If you let Erchen lead the army to go out, Erchen promises to win the 46 towns in Gaochang in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, open up the east-west traffic hub in one fell swoop, and occupy the Tianshan South Road and the North Road. "

Gaochang has a special geographical location, and its country is also the hometown of car masters.It is connected to Henan in the south, Tanghuang in the east, Kucha in the west, and Chile in the north, and has already experienced the rule of four Han royal families. Occupying Gaochang can not only ensure the safety of commercial roads.

The 46 towns under its jurisdiction, including Jiaohe, Tiandi, Gaoning, Linchuan, Hengjuan, Liupo, Weilin, Xinxing, Youning, Shichang, Dujin, and Baili, have been Sinicized for a long time. Promote Sinicization there, and firmly drive a nail in the Western Regions.

Moreover, Gaochang's neighbor West Turkic, Li Chengqian still controls the [-] cavalry army of Ashi Nabuzhen. With the support of this new force, the Tang army with the smallest number can be used to achieve the greatest victory. This is not very good something?
Today's result was inevitable. When Qu Zhisheng let the Tang army's training personnel withdraw from Gaochang, Li Chengqian planned to launch another coup d'etat, to support the young Qu family as king, and use his name to kill Qu Wentai. Kick Qu Zhisheng down.

But the emperor said that to instigate a coup in a neighboring country for no reason would be demeaning, and it would easily leave the impression of being a bully to other countries, creating a rebellious mentality. up.

"Don't talk about these useless things with me. I have fought all my life, and I still don't know the benefits of capturing Gaochang? Such a small country, my generals can pull out any one of them to fight, so I won't bother you. The crown prince personally conscripted."

In fact, for Li Shimin, it doesn't matter whether Li Chengqian or anyone else is sent; but he doesn't want Li Chengqian to go, why should something go wrong whenever he makes a move, and Li Chengqian always fights for the sake of it? It's so unfair, even my own son can't do it.

"Father, please listen to my son's explanation. You can see that the picture is very clear..." Li Chengqian, who still didn't give up, took a topographic map of the Western Regions, and brazenly sold his combat ideas, but Li Shimin didn't think so at all. Listen, squinting your eyes is holding your arms and shaking your head.

"Your Majesty, what are you father and son talking about? People outside don't even dare to deliver meals. If the concubine hadn't come to see, I wouldn't know that you didn't eat!", Empress Changsun saw the weird behavior of the father and son. , asked curiously with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, the Guanyin servant girl came just in time. Come, I will tell you that your precious son wants to go out again." He waved to Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin told the story of his plan to lead the army to capture Gaochang .

Seeing Empress Changsun's brow tightening, Li Chengqian shrank his neck quickly, and his "disdain" towards the emperor grew even more in his heart, did he do that?If you can't say it, just find your parents, and treat your old man as a husband!
In line with the principle that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and 36 tricks are the best plan, after saluting the two supreme beings, Li Chengqian turned around and fled the hall in a hurry. He didn't want to be picked up by the eldest grandson empress here, it would be too embarrassing.

Looking at the back of Li Chengqian running away, Li Shimin couldn't help but joked: "Guanyin maidservant, I've always heard people say that a loving mother is more than a child, but you, kindness is enough, but it also scared Gao Ming enough! You know Our eldest son has experienced great storms!"

"Your Majesty, don't make jokes. This child is filial, so he is very respectful to his concubines; hey, the son is too old, he is also the father of five children, and the concubines can't hold his ears like before, yes It’s time to show him some face.”

Li Shimin knew in his heart that Empress Changsun didn't say she liked or disapproved of the prince's battle in Gaochang, but she didn't want to. It was only due to the rules that the harem should not interfere with important military affairs, so she expressed her attitude very vaguely.

"Guanyin maidservant, don't worry, this time the scene is not big, I won't let Gao Ming play." After speaking, Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun's hand to reassure her. .
