Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 239 Li Tai's Plan Failed
The Tuyuhun bandits harassed Liangzhou, but the news that Li Shimin was going to send general Li Jing to send troops spread quickly.

Of course, the decision on what kind of troops to dispatch, and who to send besides Li Jing to conquer could not be made in a short period of time, but even so, the door of Li Jing's house became lively.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not directly say that non-military meritorious service should not be granted as a marquis, at least before Li Linfu, the Tang Dynasty had an implicit rule, that is, the highest position of a general can become a prime minister. The lifelong pursuit of military generals.

In particular, Li Jing has been sitting all the way from the general to the right servant, and he has set a good example for the middle and lower generals of the Tang Dynasty.

This made the military generals of the Tang Dynasty rejoice if they heard the war, but if they had the chance, they would still be willing to fight with Li Jing.

When Li Tai heard the news, he slowly thought about these things in his heart.

To be honest, this incident is an opportunity for Li Tai.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how much Li Shimin pampered him, it would be impossible for him to be associated with the army.

But this time, he directly picked peaches in order to build a platform for Li Chengqian, so he felt a little guilty about himself.

So can I take advantage of this opportunity and let myself go out with the army once.

Because in Li Tai's view, if he fought with Li Jing, as long as he chose to be obedient, he would not be credited, but at least his own safety could always be guaranteed.

And my purpose is not for the so-called meritorious service, because that thing is useless to me.

After all, no matter how magnanimous Li Shimin was to him, it would be impossible for him to be named a Tiance Admiral and allow him to build a government office.

But it is very meaningful for me to take advantage of this opportunity to meet the grassroots generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Do you really think that my six or seven years of reciting the list of students was wasted!
Now I may not be able to recognize each other immediately after meeting those students, and then have a short chat with the other's parents.

But as long as those students report their names, I can more or less recall the other party's information according to the map, and more or less let them know that their sacrificial wine has not forgotten them, and that I am with them spiritually.

Similarly, when you are in the military camp, you can also start to get to know the grassroots people. Not to mention how good you are with these grassroots soldiers, but it is not difficult to chat with each other and say a few words.

And with the memory that I have specially trained, I should be able to remember these generals at the grassroots level.

Especially when Li Chengqian wanted to implement the "Seed Project", I really didn't think that Li Chengqian could implement it. If something happened, I was afraid that I would have to wipe my ass, and if I didn't do it, I was afraid that Aye would find me again.

Those speech officials would give themselves a comment of disregarding the overall situation, so why bother.

I might as well use this thing to run a little farther, so that I can't see it.

But for this kind of thing, I ran up to Li Shimin and said directly Aye, I want to fight Tuyuhun, Li Shimin is afraid that it is light, so he will give himself a word, if it is serious, will he think that he wants to involve military power!
Although I really want to infiltrate a little bit of military power, this is not the same as Li Shimin thinking that he wants to involve military power!
Li Tai thought of this, and thought about the high-ranking officials around him. Among them, if Fang Xuanling could recommend him to be a simple food supervisor, then Aye would naturally not object, but the reality is that his relationship with Fang Xuanling is not good yet. to this extent.

After thinking about it, I can only go to Empress Changsun. The others are either too low in status, or they can't move!

So Li Tai waited for a few days until Wang Xuance finished writing the idiot farming and animal husbandry manual, and Li Tai entered the palace with the manual.

Early the next morning, Li Tai went to the Zhengli Hall first.

And the two little ones, Pheasant and Sizi, have already woken up. Seeing Li Tai coming, Sizi jumped up and down, and said in a very gentle voice, "Fourth brother came so early today, you want to come with us." Play chess?"

"I came to talk to my mother today about something. Have you two finished your homework? I'll talk to you when I'm done!"

Li Tai pampered his head fondly, then took out the maltose wrapped in oiled paper, "Eat less!"

"Brother Jiu and I will share the food, so we won't be able to eat much!" Sizi said while grabbing the maltose with a smile.

With that said, the two of them went down to finish their daily homework under the guidance of the maid. It's a pity that they will be a little older, and they will be able to enter elementary school by then.

This thing was invented by Li Yuan, just to make the children of the hero and the royal family get a little more familiar. Of course, it also meant to be a hostage at first.

As for Li Tai, he even studied history books in elementary school for a few days before being kicked out.

"Sit Qingque, are you here to see your mother today? Did you come to see my mother to chat with me, or did you come to complain!" said Empress Changsun.

"If the complaint comes, can my mother seek justice for me?" Li Tai couldn't help but hear what Empress Changsun said.

"If it's a private matter, I will definitely seek justice for you. If it's a business matter, even Yu can't do anything about it!" Empress Changsun said.

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but shook his head and said, "In that case, can mother let me go out to relax?"

"Let's relax..." Empress Changsun relaxed her brows when she heard Li Tai's words, "Where do you want to go to relax?"

"Liangzhou, or Hexi!" Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun, but there was no sign of flinching in his eyes at this moment.

"What!" Empress Changsun heard Li Tai's words and said, "You want to go to the battlefield?! No, absolutely not!"

"Mother, please sit down first and listen to me!" Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun, "I will go to this matter both public and private."

"I really want to know, what is the law between public and private!" Empress Changsun said to Li Tai.

Li Taidao: "With the implementation of the Grass Seed Project in Longyou, the next step will inevitably be to spread to the Xihe Corridor.

What is the situation in those areas, no one knows the situation since Tuyuhun took hold in the west of Liangzhou.

So I need to take a look anyway, see the local aliens with my own eyes, and check the local environment.

Only in this way can we make plans according to local conditions, instead of sitting in Chang'an and dreaming about some plans.

At this moment, when the army is passing through the border, there can be great order after the chaos. Only after the chaos, it will be much easier to govern with the trend.

Therefore, I have to go to Longyou to take a look, otherwise the next step of the plan will be difficult to achieve results! "

"Don't lie to me. When you make every plan, you stay in your Yuewang Mansion. Have you ever seen you go out!"

At this time, Empress Changsun heard Li Tai's words and immediately found a loophole, and refuted to Li Tai.

When Li Tai heard this retort, he said decisively, "Because we are all Chinese citizens and have the same living habits.

But now we have to make a plan in the Hu people's area, and even the living environment is different from ours in China, so we have to go there.

Otherwise, our field of vision can only reach the Western Regions in the west, the East China Sea in the east, the South China Sea in the south, and the grasslands in the north.

After all, the world is so big, the boy wants to go out and have a look! "

When Empress Changsun heard Li Tai's words, Empress Changsun didn't know how true or false what she said earlier, but in the last sentence, Empress Changsun believed that Li Tai was sincere.

At this time, Li Tai said again: "As for selfishness...that is naturally selfish. After all, I originally returned to Chang'an to implement the "Seed Project", but I didn't expect the "Seed Project" to be implemented. I have nothing to do...

So I went back and thought about it for a few days. I originally wanted to propose going back to Youzhou, but now that Tuyuhun is a better place, I naturally wanted to go with the army to see the scenery of Longyou. "

Empress Changsun heard the disappointment in Li Tai's words, and understood that Li Shimin's behavior this time made Li Tai sad.

So Li Tai also wanted to contribute to the crusade against Tuyuhun this time, and of course he also wanted to leave the sad place of Chang'an.

Empress Changsun thought of this, and said to Li Tai, "Okay, I have no objection to your traveling with the army, but you don't need me to convince you, Aye, you have to convince him yourself!"

"Thank you mother!" Li Tai bowed to Empress Changsun after hearing what Empress Changsun said.

"Today, Aye still has to go to court. When Aye goes down, I will go and talk to Aye!" Li Tai said confidently.

Empress Changsun looked at Qingque's confident look, and just shook her head.

To be honest, she didn't think Qing Que could convince Li Shimin, and if she wanted to come to the end, Qing Que was only disappointed.

And the imperial court wants to send troops, even if it is winter, it is not like in modern times that the troops can be dispatched on the same day with a single order.

Needless to say, the order for conscription was sent from the imperial court to the soldiers one by one, and then these soldiers prepared their armor and weapons, then assembled at the designated place, and finally gathered at the Ministry of War, and issued an order to the destination It will take at least a month to start.

In fact, this speed was already quite fast in the feudal era.

Therefore, although Li Shimin decided to deal with Tuyuhun, the state machinery of the entire Tang Dynasty began to operate.

But there are still a lot of things to deal with, such as the morning court and civil affairs.

It's just that Li Tai went over to ask Li Shimin to see Li Shimin after the court was over.

Li Shimin didn't think too much when he heard that Li Tai was coming, he just thought that Li Tai finally thought of what he wanted, and said with a smile on his face,
"Qingque, you are here, I wonder if you have figured out what you want?"

Li Tai said firmly: "Qingque wants to become the commander-in-chief of an army, imitate Huo Qubing to pacify Hexi, and make great achievements in the world.

Please also ask Aye to let me lead an army to conquer Tuyuhun alone, my boy will definitely not let Tuyuhun invade Liangzhou again! "

Li Shimin couldn't help pressing his temple when he heard Li Tai's words.

Obviously, although Li Tai talked about being the leader, the goal was too low. It was just to make Tuyuhun no longer disturb Liangzhou, and he always felt full of cowardice!
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "You are also talented in leading troops and fighting?"

"Probably not!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin's piercing eyes, but bowed his head and said, "But I don't want to stay in Chang'an any longer.

Compared to going back to Youzhou, Aye, I want to take this opportunity to visit Longyou. "

"Do you think that marching and fighting are your outing entertainment?" Li Shimin felt a bit distressed, but he said seriously,

"Soldiers are a major event in the country, what do you think of this war, and you still want to lead an army alone!"

"Then I will be a centurion under Li Pushe's command, and go to Tuyuhun to fight, and I will be loyal to the country!" Li Tai said.

"Don't be angry!" Li Shimin looked serious, thinking of something, said, "You really want to go to war!"

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded when he heard Li Shimin's words, "Qingque wants to go out and have a look."

"Why!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "You have always been calm in doing things, and you will not do acts of righteousness without reason!"

"It's just that I don't want to be in Chang'an. If I have the opportunity to go to Hexi, then go to Hexi." Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said, "More importantly, for the further implementation of the "Grass Seed Project", I need to go to Hexi to see it with my own eyes. one look."

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and frowned, and said, "Do you have to go?"

"The ultimate goal of the "Grass Seed Project" is to educate the alien race. I carried out the previous steps in China, and the habits of the Chinese people are unified, so it doesn't matter much.

But if you want to promote this method to other races, you need to go through it according to local conditions! "

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin with a sincere and solemn expression,

"It's not just me, students from agricultural schools who plan to teach the people in the frontier to cultivate pasture in the future, it's better to go to the frontier to understand the affairs according to local conditions, instead of thinking that they know all the world's affairs after reading all the books in the world! "

Listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin knew that what Li Tai said was very reasonable, but this reasoning was not enough to convince himself.

Li Shimin said to Li Tai, "Qingque, what you said is very reasonable, but you are young and the battlefield is dangerous, I will not let you go!"

"Since Aye said so, then Qingque will not force it!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai gave up quickly, as if the appearance just now was an illusion.

Li Tai took out the idiot farming manual written by Wang Xuance and pasted it on the cover, handed it to the servant, and asked the servant to put it in front of Li Shimin, saying,

"This manual is the essence of farming and animal husbandry sorted out by Qing Que, even if it is a fool, as long as it is operated according to this farming and animal husbandry manual, it can also get out the farming and animal husbandry mode, and please pass it on to your brother.

As for Qingque, I bid farewell to you. Qingque came back to Chang'an because of the "Grass Seed Project". "

"Qingque..." Li Shimin saw that Li Tai was about to leave, but said, "I still owe you a request, why don't you use it!"

"Aye is a sage, he must be more thoughtful about the affairs of the country and the people than Qingque, there must be a reason for not letting Qingque go!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "If Qingque makes this request to force Aye, It is a disaster for the country, and there is no virtue for selfishness, why should it be so.

If there is nothing wrong with Aye, then Qingque will leave first. "

Li Tai was thinking in his heart, step by step out of Liangyi Hall, and at this moment, guessing in his heart,

"It's not good to retreat like this, do you need to be so hard-hearted..."

Until he exited the hall, Li Tai felt that he seemed to have screwed up a little this time.

I feel a little helpless in my heart, after all, I am not good at this kind of conspiracy!

However, Li Tai quickly calmed down: "It seems that the only way is to return to Youzhou and follow the orthodox King Yan route."

While Li Shimin watched Li Tai leave, there was no pause, but he felt a little tired in his heart.
Qingque is really dedicated to serving the country and the people, isn't he going too far.

Li Shimin opened the fool's farming and animal husbandry manual left by Li Tai, which recorded farming techniques and precautions in detail.

Although this manual is thin, it condenses Qingque's hard work for five years. I took it by myself, but Qingque left without saying anything. This made Li Shimin, who has always valued his direct children, feel very guilty. what!

"One or two don't make people worry! Stay with him for a few days and see if he retreats as an advance or if he really plans to return to Youzhou!"

Li Shimin couldn't help pressing his temples, and couldn't help thinking, "We can't really let Qingque go back to Youzhou!"
