Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 974 Do you want to learn from Sima Yi?
Under Li Chengqian's suggestion, Zhongshu Shilang-Xu Jingzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Integrity and Government-Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry-Yan Lide and other ministers collectively seconded the court, agreeing to the emperor's personal conquest; trying to realize "Jiuying Dading, only this corner ", taking the conquest of Goguryeo as the last battle to unify China.

Therefore, in spite of the objections of some of his subjects, Li Shimin issued an imperial decree: Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March, Chang He and Zuo Nandang were the deputy chief managers of the Pyongyang Road March, and Ran Rende, Liu Yingxing, Zhang Wengan, and Cheng Mingzhen were the chief managers. The [-] troops of the army set out from Laizhou on [-] warships and crossed the Yellow Sea to Pyongyang.Li Jinghuan is the governor of the Navy, and he governs Hangzhou, Dengzhou, Fuzhou, and Haizhou to cooperate with Pingxiangdao to fight.

At the same time, with Li Ji as the chief marching officer of Liaodong Road, Cheng Zhijie as the deputy chief of the Liaodong Road marching, Zhang Jian, Zhi Shili, Qibi Heli, Jiang Xingben, and Wu Heita as the marching chiefs, led [-] troops from the land route. March to Liaodong.

Li Shimin mentioned the Chinese army himself, with his eldest grandson Wuji, Liu Jie participating in military affairs, Zhai Changsun, Zheng Rentai, Xue Wanshu, Li Hai'an, Li You, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanbei, Li Boyao, Xue Rengui and other generals, with [-] soldiers; first marched to Dingzhou Put it down, and then enter the Liaodong battlefield depending on the battlefield situation.

As for the Xi clan, Khitan and other armies, they will stand by on the outskirts of Yingzhou after they are assembled.Chang'an City was handed over to the crown prince - Li Chengqian to supervise the country, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu and other important officials assisted in handling all important military and state affairs.

After the imperial court was over, Li Shimin took Li Chengqian on a cart surrounded by a group of guards, beat gongs and drums all the way out of the Daming Palace, and went to the Weiguo Palace in Chongrenfang. Li Shimin was never afraid of fighting. What I'm afraid of is the fire in the backyard.

"Pharmacist, my sister-in-law has passed away, and another heroine's soul has returned to Changye. I am also very upset. Before I came to the mansion, I have decreed that your tomb in Zhaoling will be built according to the old rules of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty. It is in the shape of the Iron Mountain in the Turkic territory and the Jishi Mountain in the Tuyuhun territory, in recognition of Qing's military exploits."

"We are all people who have reached the age. This foot is already in the coffin, so we don't have so many scruples. We should worry about the affairs behind us. We two brothers have fought together for half our lives. Righteousness, as well as fellowship, you have to be a neighbor even after you die, so let’s talk about this feeling!"

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the edge, smiled and leaned against Li Jing and said with a smile, without blinking his eyes, he kept staring at Li Jing, and the faces of the two old men were filled with not-so-sincere smiles.And it has been like this for 19 years. Li Chengqian has watched the games of these two old men enough. To be honest, it is really not interesting.

"Hey, we are all old brothers who have bonded by destiny, so don't be so polite! Pharmacist, you pacified Wuhui in the south, cleared the desert Turks in the north, and stabilized Tuyuhun Murong in the west. Only Goryeo in the east was not conquered. What do you think?", Li Shimin took the tea presented by his son and said calmly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Jing immediately understood, rolled down from the couch and knelt on the ground, only to see that the veteran over seventy years old expressed his willingness to follow suit even though he was sick, and cupped his hands and said: "The old minister used to rely on your majesty I have made a small contribution, and now I am old and weak, so I should follow this expedition. I am just afraid that if I die on the way, I will implicate Your Majesty."

En, nodded, Li Shimin sighed, bent down to stare at Li Jing and said: "Sima Zhongda also said similar things back then. He deceived the two generations of monarchs Cao Pi and Cao Rui, and finally took control of the power of Wei State. Sun also replaced Wei with Jin under such circumstances, don't you think so!"

This is the emperor's heart-breaking words, and it has already pierced the last window paper. Neither Li Jing, the person involved, nor Li Chengqian, who was on the sidelines, thought of this; He kowtowed continuously, and after a while, he kowtowed on his forehead, but Li Jing didn't seem to feel it, and continued to kowtow, and Li Chengqian gasped for watching.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister never dares to be disobedient, the old minister never dares to have it! The old minister is loyal to Datang and His Majesty, and he must never have any dissent. Since Your Majesty does not despise the old minister's crippled Exorcism, the old minister requests to go out with the army in case of illness."

After a while, the emperor, who had been staring at Li Jing with a straight face, suddenly laughed, and helped him up himself, while dusting off the dust, he said: "Pharmacist, I'm just joking, don't you need to be so serious? Too young to take a joke."

"However, I heard that your two sons have frequent contacts with some idle clans, since they like to associate with clans so much, why don't they ever go to the East Palace for a sit-down!
Could it be that my prince, my future emperor of the Tang Dynasty can't compare with them?So don't blame me for being overhearted, I'm also doing it for your own good. "

"The prince is also a person who likes to form good karma. I brought him today to hope that Qing's two young masters can go to the East Palace to assist him; when there is nothing to do, talk about the law and dispel the hostility in him. This kid If you win many battles and kill many people, you can't always control your emotions, which is a great taboo for a ruler."

Li Jing sent the emperor out of the palace with blood on his head, barefoot, and wearing an underclothes. He was in a mess, and the prestige of the Hussar General was completely disgraced this time.

However, Li Chengqian was sure that the two sons of his family who liked to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha must be worse than the general. If they didn't lie in bed for a few months, they might not be able to go to the ground.

"Gao Ming, do you think it's not worth the loss to criticize the general because of two old dudes, even at the risk of tearing his face!" On the way back to the Daming Palace, seeing Li Chengqian remained silent, looking deep in thought, Li Shimin smiled asked a question.

That's right, Li Jing's two sons are not a few years younger than the emperor, and they also belong to the ranks of old men. In terms of age, the emperor is suspected of taking advantage of them; but the relationship between the clan and nobles is nothing more than normal. Well, even if the emperor wants to find fault with Li Jing, wants to beat Li Jing, he doesn't need to find such a poor excuse!
"Hey, let me tell you, Li Jing is the headline dragon. Even though he is old and his eyes are blurred, it is still the same; I will tell him clearly today, even if he is Sima Yi, you are not Cao Rui, Wei. It depends on what he does!" After speaking, Li Shimin spread his hands and put on an innocent look.

This explanation made Li Chengqian unable to answer, so he could only reply: "In case the general makes a mistake, will he kill his two old dudes?"
