Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 973 Is there such a game?

In Mingde Palace, there are only Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji in the huge palace, and the servants beside him were kicked out by the not-so-beautiful prince, and even Changsun Wuji had to make tea himself.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's contented appearance of "a major event has been decided", drinking tea in a leisurely manner, Li Chengqian also wanted to ask him about how to cultivate Qi. The emperor played so much this time, how could he still sit still? live!

"Uncle, looking at you like this, needless to say, you are the accomplice of the emperor, and the imperial decree to enshrine the grandson is so experienced, I am afraid it was drafted by you after realizing it!"

"Hey, don't think that if you don't speak, you don't know what it means. The Eastern Expedition is not impossible. Let's take a breather for another two years. Gu promises that after two years, we will never stop him. Whoever objects, Gu will take the place of the father." Go solve it!"

"Uncle, tell me, what should I do if I let Gu go now? Do you want to force the officials and let the emperor go to war? What will others think of Gu? For the sake of the throne, do you even disregard the safety of your father? die!"

Li Chengqian didn't expect the emperor's action. The grandson's book, let alone the advantages, the disadvantage is that Li Chengqian fell into a dilemma and was roasted on the fire. No matter what he did, it was wrong. Where can he reason? go!

Hehe, after hearing Li Chengqian's complaints, Changsun Wuji smiled, put down the tea cup, and said with a light smile: "Prince, Gao Ming, don't be impatient when you are a little bit safe, don't be impatient when you are a little bit safe, it is a good thing for the whole world to register a grandson, no As for worrying like this."

"Let's just talk about this tea. The older it is, the more mellow it is, and the aftertaste is endless; as for ginger, the older it is, the hotter it is. Your father has fought battles for half his life. He can't figure out what battles he can fight and what battles he can't fight." Is it? You, like those ministers, are blinded!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Chengqian, who was sitting on top, couldn't help but raised his eyebrows: "Uncle, please advise!" He really wanted to see what kind of tricks his father and him had come up with!
To be honest, if the emperor hadn't mentioned it, Changsun Wuji would not have thought of it. Now he is just a sounding board, so he has no choice but to follow the example and learn from his nephew for the emperor.

As we all know, all the palaces near Chang'an, including the Xinggong, are guarded by the Xuanjia Army. The number is quite objective, and they are all composed of experienced veterans. It is too wasteful for such an army to guard the palace. up.

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to use this army as the backbone. He recruited the soldiers from Henan and Hedong Roads to form the main force of the Eastern Expedition, and then transferred the three naval divisions of Dengzhou, Fuzhou, and Haizhou to cooperate in the battle. Finally, he ordered the Xi clan of Tang Dynasty to serve And the Khitan and other ministries sent [-] troops as servants, and the problem of the army was solved.

The vacant palace ban can be completed by the guards who are resting. They are not resting there. While resting, they are guarding the palace ban. I donated it!
Money and food are not a problem for Datang. The weather has been good year after year, and the food can’t be eaten up. The price of Doumi in Guanzhong has always been three to five yuan. The battle of the Western Regions also captured so much gold. Take some out, not at all. affect the normal operation of the court.

As for ordnance, the stocks of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are not so large, but there is still some stock in the military industrial area. It should be able to meet the needs of the army if the treasury is exhausted; when the war comes, it can be produced while supplying. Datang is full of confidence in the ability to manufacture weapons.

"Oh, according to what you said, uncle, there are quite a few generals who are idle in the court. Instead of letting them cause trouble in Chang'an City all day long, it's better to go to the battlefield and take a walk, don't you worry?" Helplessly, Li Chengqian rubbed his head and replied.

"That's right, Your Highness is indeed astute. Many generals have never had the chance to fight when the imperial court has used troops abroad. After so many years of holding back, something went wrong. Your Highness is also a leader of troops. He knows that this tiger is easy to hurt people if it is locked up for a long time. It is better to hurt the enemy than yourself, His Majesty's plan is just like this!"

Seeing Changsun Wuji nodding, Li Chengqian stopped doing it immediately, and immediately replied: "What's right! Uncle, can this be the same thing! They didn't fight, but did the court treat them badly all these years? Hurt people? Who do they want to hurt? Who can they hurt? It’s against them.”

"As for your plans to mobilize troops, I don't think so. If Li Ji's words are true, sows will climb trees. How did Qingque's legs break, and how Zhang Liang was played to death! Have you forgotten all this? Is it reliable to borrow the cavalry from the Xi clan and other tribes?"

"Uncle, you have been in the army, and all the generals who have fought in battle understand that one should not only focus on the pros and cons in front of one's eyes, one must look as far away as possible, and calmly face the cause and effect of the past, so I disagree. This plan!"

Seeing Li Chengqian's decisive attitude, Changsun Wuji sighed for a long time, and then said: "Gao Ming, uncle knows that you are out of filial piety, and your Majesty knows this in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't be enshrined as Xiang'er." Too grandson."

"But you have to think about it for His Majesty. Time is not forgiving. He has suffered a lot of war injuries. He has been in the palace for many years. His body has already been overdrawn. In two years, if his wind disease becomes serious, If you can't get on the horse, don't you have to regret for life."

"As for Li Ji, he can't be completely trusted, that's why His Majesty wants to take him away. There are uncles in the army watching, so I forgive him for not being able to play any tricks; as for Chang'an, with you and the six leaders and four houses of the East Palace here, come out. No matter how big a mistake is, it can be overcome.”

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji got up again and came to the steps, and whispered next to Li Chengqian, telling him in detail what the emperor showed him the imperial edict in Songzhou. I have done everything, and being a son shouldn't make my father regret it.

Regarding this matter, the emperor also specifically told Changsun Wuji not to tell Li Chengqian, and to show him just to reassure him.But seeing that his nephew disagreed, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to reveal this secret between the monarch and his ministers as one of the conditions for persuasion.

Alas, to be honest, Li Chengqian didn't expect that his father would handle the edict of passing on the throne so early, let alone hand over a copy of the edict to his eldest grandson Wuji; he was afraid that if something happened to him, If Li Chengqian still leads troops away, Guozuo will not be able to pass on smoothly.

Intentions are good, and when the son listens to it and says that there is no fluctuation in his heart, it is a lie.Therefore, after pondering for a while and weighing the risks of this battle, Li Chengqian stared at his eldest grandson Wuji and said in a low voice: "Father has such good intentions, what can I do as a son alone!"

"It's not impossible to ask Gu to agree, but we must add [-] Eastern Palace soldiers to the Chinese army, and the commander of King Qi will guard His Majesty! Navy, three are not enough, Hangzhou Navy must also be added to increase combat power, otherwise Gu can't rest assured !"
