Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 734 Some things cannot be shared
Chapter [-] Some things cannot be shared

When Li Shimin returned from Taiji Palace to the Qin Palace, it was already time to light the lanterns.Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other people in Prince Qin's residence were all looking forward to it.

Seeing that Li Shimin came back safe and sound, Changsun Wugou hurried up to meet him, and asked with concern: "Second brother..."

Li Shimin gave his eldest grandson Wugou a reassuring look, then picked up Li Chengqian, and tied Li Chengqian's face with his beard, Li Chengqian looked disgusted.

Li Shimin said with a straight face on purpose: "You brat, how dare you despise your father?"

Li Chengqian was made to cry by Li Shimin.The eldest grandson Wugou picked up Li Chengqian knowingly and walked towards the inner hall.

Li Shimin ordered Lei Yongji: "Get some food and wine, I'm hungry!"

Lei Yongji turned and left.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin anxiously and said, "Your Highness..."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, sat heavily on the main seat and said: "The matter of Jieyuhe is over. Qin Qiong wrote a letter saying that the East Turks were hit by a drought. They must go south to invade the border in winter. We defeated the Turks last year. We can't take it lightly... We have to stabilize Hedong and Hebei. Next, we will make a fuss about stabilizing the border defense, trying to prevent a Turk from breaking through, and let the government and the public take a look at it in the heart of the emperor. , the ability of my comrades in the Qin Palace to do things."

Fang Xuanling interjected from the side: "His Royal Highness, the drought in Monan is severe, and it is even worse in Mobei. If this is the case, I am afraid that it may not be the Turkic clan who will go south. I am afraid that Tie Le, Xue Yantuo and other tribes will go south. If you want to ensure that there is nothing wrong with the river , I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

Li Shimin explained: "Wuji, the Ministry of Officials is going to draw up a history for you to go to the Western Regions to serve as the Chief Protector of the Metropolitan Government!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji's face changed drastically: "Your Highness..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I know what you are worried about. In fact, you can think about it. The Chief of the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government is the function of restraining the Protector of the Metropolitan Government. He is a dignified third-rank official. How can he kill him at will unless Chen Ying dares to fight with him?" You will die together!"

Changsun Wuji thought about it for a second, that was indeed the case. When he came to the Western Regions, would Chen Ying really dare to kill himself?Unless Chen Ying wants to rebel now.Rebelling now is simply asking for death.With the pacification of the south of the Tang Dynasty and the great security of the Central Plains, now that the Tang Dynasty is free to take action, the 40-[-] army is worried that there is nothing to do.

Li Shimin said: "This king will guard Taiyuan, that is, the next three to five months. I just want to use this opportunity to let the emperor know that we can stabilize the east of the river and develop the place. At that time, even if the river King Jian came to office, rectified the officialdom in Hedong, and did some things, but it was just following the same steps and picking up the wisdom of others. As long as the emperor no longer regards the East Palace as the hope of Hedong, the center dispute should have a result.

Du Ruhui turned a deaf ear to the discussions between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and picked up a pen to write on the case.

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Ruhui's back, and said: "Keming is really different. He came from Qingliu and pays attention to practical affairs. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin has been giving orders from others all these years, and the effect is obvious."

Du Ruhui raised his head and asked indifferently: "His Royal Highness, Wuji, how many acres has been reclaimed by the Protectorate of the Western Regions this year, and will the harvest be affected by the drought?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Changsun Wuji said: "A few days ago, I received a report that Chen Dadu reclaimed about 250 million mu of wasteland on Xizhou Road. Adding the amount of land reclaimed last year, it should not be less than 350 million mu. I really admire Chen Dadu for this. He never slacks off. Gather the refugees and arrange them properly."

When the food and wine were served, Li Shimin and the people in Prince Qin's residence were having wine and discussing with each other.

As time went by, the more Li Shimin drank, the clearer his head became, but his face became paler and paler.Unknowingly, he recalled the scene of drinking with Xue Renguo in the prison.

Li Shimin and Xue Renguo were drunk, Xue Renguo looked at Li Shimin and asked, "I'm really puzzled by something!"

Li Shimin said: "Say it!"

Xue Renguo stared at Li Shimin and said: "When it comes to martial courage, you are not inferior to me; when it comes to military strategy, you are better than me; when it comes to courage, you are the only hero I have ever seen in my life... Especially so, I don't understand, you Father, what do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at Xue Renguo and said, "What do you mean?"

Xue Renguo said: "I mean, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, why not you?

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, unable to answer. After a long time, Li Shimin shook his head and said with a big tongue: "I am the second son...the second son...do you understand? You are the eldest son, so your father appointed you; my elder brother is the eldest son. So it is natural that he is the crown prince, establishes the heir and establishes the eldest son, this has been the case since ancient times!"

Xue Renguo shook his head and said: "Although I am the eldest son, my father appointed me as the prince, but it is not because of this, but because I can fight! Lieutenant generals, all listen to me, and some people even order my father to order If I don't move, of course my father can only set me up!

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Your fate is good, everyone in the family obeys you, but my fate is not good. Dad, elder brother, and third sister all treat me like a child. I just want to show them that I am not a child." !"

Xue Renguo was also a little drunk. He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said, "I've heard that you have a nickname, Tang Tong... the boy of Datang..."

Li Shimin sighed and cursed angrily: "Fuck it... it's all that old boy Wang Shichong... When I return to Chang'an, I will lead my troops to find his bad luck..."

Li Shimin didn't know that as early as four years ago, before Xue Renguo was executed, Xue Renguo had already planted a seed in Li Shimin's heart. This seed, with the passage of time, began to grow wildly in Li Shimin's heart. A seed with magic power has grown into a towering tree, filling Li Shimin's whole heart.

Li Shimin was very unwilling, he was not reconciled.

His fists were tightly clenched, his nails were slowly inserted into the flesh, and the wound was bleeding.

Li Shimin couldn't feel any pain.

Just as everyone was leaving one after another, only Changsun Wuji was left in the entire Chengqian Palace.Li Shimin pondered and said: "It is said in the world that the eight generals of the Eastern Palace, Wei Ting and the crown prince are friends of the general manager, and the relationship is irreversible. First of all, it can be ruled out. Xue Wanche and his elder brother Xue Wanjun came from Youzhou to the Tang Dynasty together, and joined the prince's shogunate. Will be bought. Who will be bought, Feng Li, Li Shiji, or Yang Wengan?"

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "Feng Li was recruited by the prince, and he entrusted him with his heart..."

Li Shimin asked again: "Can Li Shiji and Yu Chigong be bribed?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Although Li Shiji used to be under the crown prince, but in recent years there seems to be a tendency to break away from the core of the imperial court. He seems to be the same as Chen Daduhu and Li Dajun (Li Jing) in that he has no interest in the battle for the East Palace! "

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Who else can buy him?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly realized: "Yang Wengan!"

Li Shimin said: "Just him, you do it, no matter what the cost, you must bring him to our side!"

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Minaval has been in Western State for more than a year.Today, Minaval seems to have forgotten her purpose, and is at ease in front of her primary school teacher, teaching children with yellow skin and black eyes, or white skin and blue eyes, or brown skin and yellow eyes to read and write.

Minerval seems to be doing well, and is a little bit overwhelmed.

However, following an urgent letter from the Sasanian Empire, Minaval became anxious.

When Minaval walked into Chen Ying's room with a charming smile, the Persian girl's smile was so sweet that it almost stunned Zhou Qing, and she didn't even think to stop her until everyone walked in.As for Ashina Simo, this guy has completely become Jacqueline's servant.

Chen Ying didn't actually do any work, he was eating chicken drumstick rice.These rice were brought over from Talas by Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and Chen Ying bought all the more than 800 shi of rice unceremoniously.

More than 800 shi of rice sounds like a lot, but it is really not much to cook.Chen Ying was cooking rice, and when he saw Minaval coming in, Chen Ying was taken aback for a moment, his cheeks were puffed up, and he asked vaguely, "Princess Minavale, why are you here?"

Minaval smiled and said, "You guys are going to fight a big battle, can I come over and have a look?"

She sat down by herself, and said to Chen Ying sincerely: "Your Excellency the Protectorate, congratulations, your army has won an epic victory. Such a great victory against an enemy of the total population of the Samanid city-states is rare even in the Sasanian Empire!"

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly and said: "That only shows that you have little knowledge! In the history of our country, most of the battles that wiped out 10,000+ enemies in World War I could not be completed with a hundred horse-drawn carriages... Tell me, come to me What's the matter?"

This guy is really straightforward in his speech, without any twists and turns. He is used to using beautiful rhetoric to make the other party feel high, and he will lead the topic to the core without any trace, and then tactfully put forward his wishes, and finally reach an agreement.

Facing Chen Ying, Minaval felt a little overwhelmed. She had never seen such a freak before.In fact, negotiating is similar to going to a brothel. You have to find a topic first to create an atmosphere, and when the atmosphere is almost created, you can blow the candle and pull the wax.
She had no choice but to calm down and said, "Actually, it's the same sentence. I'm very interested in your army's weapons and equipment."

Chen Ying spread his hands and said with a slight smile, "And then?"

Minaval said helplessly: "I hope to buy some weapons and equipment from your army, especially the kind of decisive and broken saber. We are willing to give it to you for any amount!"

Chen Ying put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Oh, my beautiful princess, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that our broken sabers are the same as yours, but our opponents are relatively backward. They are holding poor equipment and low-quality leather armor, so in their situation, they will be defeated by our Datang army!"

Minaval rolled his eyes and said patiently: "How could it be the same? Many of your enemies use the Uzi steel weapons of our Sasanian Empire. We can't do anything to the opponent's armor, but your broken saber can Easily break the Uzi steel armor!"

Chen Ying opened his eyes and said nonsense: "That's because we were lucky and happened to hit the seam of their armor!"

Minaval said tit for tat: "Don't you have such good luck with every shot that you can hit the gap between the opponent's armor every time? Your Excellency Chen Daduhu, although I am not a soldier, I don't know much about the army than I do. You little, don't take me for a fool!"

Chen Ying withdrew his hands slowly, looked into Minaval's eyes and said, "You don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Minaval said a little angrily: "I thought we were friends! Can't friends be honest with each other?"

"You are a woman, and I am a man. There is no friendship between a man and a woman except for a relationship of love!" Chen Ying smiled wryly: "Well, let me tell you the truth, we do have some of that kind of powerful saber. But the number is not much... Your Royal Highness, if your Sassanid Empire develops a weapon that is powerful enough to overwhelm neighboring countries and sweep away all the current stage, will you share it with your good friends?"
