The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1397 is Deterrence
Immediately afterwards, there are memorials from various state capitals, reporting the happy events that happened in various places in the Tang Dynasty this year. It's time to show your face and show your presence in front of His Majesty Li Er.

It was noon on the first day of the Great Dynasty, and there were still banquets in the palace. Compared with Taiji Palace, the palace of Xingong was more spacious.

After three rounds of wine, three rounds of food and five flavors, when everyone was relatively relaxed during the banquet, Li Chengqian, Xuan Shijing and others also sat together.

"The military parade that Lao San and Xiao Jing made today is really enjoyable." Li Chengqian said while holding a wine glass. Although as a prince, he has been in the deep palace all day, but Li Chengqian also has a horse and a whip to conquer the world. My heart is also a restless master. Seeing the majestic appearance of Datang's army today, the fire in my heart burned instantly.

But now, the only way to get over the addiction is by drinking.

After all, he is the son of the Li family, and the blood of the Li family is the same. The thoughts and thoughts of Li Chengqian and His Majesty Li Er are almost the same.

"That's it, Xiao Jing also said that there are many flaws." Li Tai said with a smile: "It's all about this matter that was concealed before, but look at the reaction of the courtiers today when they saw the army in front of the Danfeng Gate. It's interesting."

Speaking of this, Li Tai lowered his voice and said to the three of them: "Have you seen the faces of those foreign envoys? They are shocked and frightened. I guess I have mixed feelings in my heart."

Li Ke nodded and said: "I have paid attention, if this is the case, then the goal this time will be achieved."

The four of them are not fools, and the meaning contained in this can be understood if you think about it carefully. On such an important day as the Yuanri Dynasty, they showed off their power in front of the foreign envoys and showed off the military power of the Tang Dynasty. What is the purpose? , It is not a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Let the envoys from all over the world feel awe and even fear of Datang in their hearts, and when they go back, they tell their masters that not everyone in Datang can come to get a beard, no matter whether they are capable or not.

Those who have no ability have long been obediently attached. Those who are capable and ambitious, and those who offend Datang, have been trampled by the cavalry of the Datang army. I have to pee and use it as a mirror to take a good look at myself.

As for those who have the ability but hide their ambitions very well, after seeing the military parade in front of Danfeng Gate today, they should also weigh themselves carefully. If there is no chance of winning, don't waste their efforts in vain.

It is also good for the neighbors to know the strength of the Tang Dynasty. It is still the same sentence, without a war, the soldiers will be defeated. Without a war, the government can take a good breath, so that it will not really use up the treasury for the sake of war. The remaining sliver of foundation has been beaten, which is of no benefit to Datang.

"From this point of view, this is a wonderful move." Li Chengqian also said with emotion.

"Whether it's a wonderful game or not, you'll find out when you look back." Xuan Shijing said, "If it really works, then within a few years from today, there will be no more wars in the Tang Dynasty."

"Then what are your plans for this year?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Since there is nothing important, let's hurry up and develop the academy on Zhuangzi, and the engineering college in Chang'an City. Datang is constantly on the uphill road and making continuous progress. The technological innovation of the engineering college must also make continuous progress. For example The firearms that are being researched, as well as the weapons in the army, are also being researched, so we can’t just keep walking in place.”

There were quite a few people who got together in twos and threes to talk at the Yuan Ri Great Court Meeting. Therefore, Xuan Shijing and the others did not attract too many people's attention when they got together. Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, isn't there an emperor on top of the crown prince? ?It is much more useful to get along well with the emperor than to be close to the prince now.

And not all officials are suitable to be close to the prince, for example, Xuan Shijing is suitable, Li Ke and Li Tai are suitable, not the officials of the East Palace, nor the elders, just ordinary courtiers, this is not suitable.

The prince is still the prince. Before the prince ascended the throne, these foreign ministers had to avoid suspicion. The prince's affairs were not within the scope of their duties. If they wanted to please the prince, it would only increase His Majesty Li Er's displeasure towards them. .

"I always feel that Xiao Jing is not interested in the affairs of the court now." Li Chengqian said: "At any rate, you are the prince Zhan Shi of my East Palace."

"His Royal Highness, don't forget that the position of deputy head of this academy is still yours. Prince Zhan Shi is working for His Royal Highness." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Li Chengqian thought for a while: "Yes."

Li Chengqian had heard from His Majesty Li Er about the Dongshan County Academy. In front of Li Chengqian, His Majesty Li Er had a very high opinion of the Dongshan County Academy, and bluntly told Li Chengqian that the academies run by Xuan Shijing would become his It became a great help to Datang, allowing Li Chengqian to devote some of his thoughts to the academy in his busy schedule.

Even his own father said so, the academy that Zhuangzi went to in Dongshan County, can it be unimportant?
The academies that Zhuangzi went to were all Xuan Shijing's worries, and as the prince, he was almost reaping the benefits of a fisherman, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Therefore, whether Xuan Shijing is pure Xuan Shijing, Duke of Jinyang, or Crown Prince Zhan Shi, what Xuan Shijing did, now it seems, is to help Li Chengqian and pave the way for Li Chengqian's future .

Li Chengqian knew this, so Li Chengqian strongly supported Xuan Shijing's affairs behind his back.

Although there is no place where Li Chengqian can be used, but sooner or later he will be used.

After the end of the Yuan Ri court meeting, Xuan Shijing felt extremely tired. Now he just wants to go home and have a good sleep. He didn’t sleep well before Yuan Ri. I had a New Year's Eve dinner at Zhuangzi the night before, and I rested for about an hour and a half, and then I had to rush to Chang'an, and I had to arrange the military parade in the morning, and then I had to force myself to deal with it at the Dachao meeting. Dachaohui.

Therefore, Xuan Shijing didn't even touch the drink at the banquet after the end of the court meeting. He was afraid that once he touched the drink, he would relax and fall asleep on the spot.

It's just so exhausting.

When Li Chengqian sat with Xuan Shijing, he could also see the tired look on Xuan Shijing's face, so before the end of the banquet, Li Chengqian sent the Imperial Forest Army in the palace to drive a carriage to send Xuan Shijing back. I went to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County.

Anyway, it's not just once or twice that Xuan Shijing left the table early.
