The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 249 Tiger Might
The emperor fell ill in front of civil and military officials in the early dynasty, and this kind of thing cannot be hidden from people.It was spread as soon as the morning dynasty ended, and soon spread throughout Chang'an City.

Naturally, people are in panic, even if the ministers and generals come out to refute the rumors in person, it is useless.

Different people have different views on this matter.

Ordinary people mostly panicked and then prayed for the emperor.Although everyone says that the people don't care who sits on the dragon chair, they only care about their own jobs.

This sentence is right, but not quite right.

It doesn't matter to the people who sits on the dragon chair, what matters is whether the emperor can let them eat.

The emperor who can feed them will gain their support.They will care about the emperor and pray for his long life.

Because no one knows what the next emperor will look like.

Li Shimin is undoubtedly an emperor who can feed most people, so the people are very concerned about him and don't want any accidents to him.

Those who have a relationship with the royal family jumped their feet happily, regardless of whether the emperor died in the end, this is a very happy thing.

They were even happier when they learned that Gao Shilian, who was a foreign relative, stabbed the emperor in the back.

The Li family is indeed a nouveau riche. They even betrayed their own relatives. They still want to compare themselves with the nobles. They are ignorant.

The careerists pray that the Tang Dynasty will be the same as the former Sui Dynasty, and if the second or third generation dies, they will have the opportunity to sit in that position.

The envoys from various countries were sad on the surface, but they were happy in their hearts.It's good to die, such a vicious emperor deserves to die.

Of course, there are still more people loyal to the court. After all, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty has created a new group of vested interests. These people are unwilling to see the country fall into chaos.

There are also some who are closely related to the gentry, but they care about the world and do not want turmoil, such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others.

Therefore, there are more people who worry about Li Shimin and try their best to maintain the situation.

After spending the first few days of panic, seeing that the court was operating normally and there was no further bad news from the emperor, people gradually settled down.

It's just that this year's Shangyuan Festival celebration was hosted by the prince, which cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

This concern lasted until the [-]th, the day when Hou Junji led his army to set off.

Li Chengqian was very excited to send the army out for the first time. In order to show that he valued this day, he specially put on the prince's dragon robe and came to the school grounds outside the city early.

However, the reality dealt him a heavy blow. Seeing that it was the prince who appeared, the soldiers fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Li Chengqian knew the reason and tried hard to encourage everyone hoping to boost morale, but the effect was minimal.

There is only one question that the soldiers are most concerned about: "Is the saint healthy?"

Li Chengqian sincerely assured: "The sage just suffered from dizziness and needs to recuperate for half a month. You generals don't need to worry. When you return triumphantly, he will host the celebration banquet in person."

It's just that the effect of these words was very poor. The soldiers said:

"Never disappoint a saint."

"We will not disappoint the grace of God."

"Pray for Your Majesty with the head of the traitor..."

But the worries and haze in their hearts cannot be concealed from others at all.

At this time, Li Chengqian understood more clearly the status of his father in the hearts of the Tang soldiers.

But the current situation is that the soldiers must not be allowed to go on the road with worry, what should we do?At this moment he was helpless.

Even Du He, his most important counselor, felt powerless.

Hou Junji was the commander-in-chief, so naturally he didn't want to see the morale of the army so low before they set off. He also tried his best to encourage everyone, but the effect was also very little.

Just when everyone felt bad, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "The saint is here, the saint is here..."

Li Chengqian thought someone was making trouble, and immediately frowned.

Hou Junji's eyes were even darker, and he shouted: "Who dares to make a noise in front of the army, thinking that my military law doesn't exist? Come and drag them out to sacrifice to the flag."

However, before the men under his command could move, the soldiers on the side of the school field also began to shout: "The saint...is the saint..."

Li Chengqian and others looked towards the door, and they found a group of people slowly entering the school field, and the one walking in the front was Li Shimin in military uniform.

He was riding a tall, dark horse, with a serious face and eyes full of intelligence, his aura was like a tiger perched on the horse's back.

Surprised and delighted, everyone rushed to greet him.

"See Saints."

Li Shimin dismounted from his horse, his body was healthy and he didn't look sick at all.

The hearts of the surrounding soldiers were completely relieved, and the uneasiness shrouded in everyone's hearts was completely dissipated, and the morale recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Jingke who followed behind trembled, my father-in-law, are you so desperate?Don't you know what's going on with you, just act a little bit.

A trace of worry also flashed in Li Chengqian's heart, but he didn't dare to show it at this time.

Hou Junji didn't know his specific situation, and thought that he had really recovered and was very excited.

But as a courtier, you still have to be concerned, and said: "Saint, didn't Sun Zhenren say that you need to cultivate, why did you leave the palace?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Why don't I come when the army is traveling? I originally wanted to train the prince, but now it seems that he is too immature to appease the army."

Li Chengqian said in shame: "I let you down."

The other soldiers were very embarrassed. Their behavior just now was indeed a bit disrespectful to the prince.

But the army is different from other places. If you can do it, you can do it or you can't.It is a fact that the prince's prestige is not enough to inspire the army, and there is no way to fake it.

But on the other hand, if the morale rises to a certain point as soon as the prince arrives, you should be more worried.

Li Shimin naturally understood this truth, so he simply clicked to open his son's eyes, and let it go gently.

Afterwards, surrounded by the crowd, he walked up to the general platform, and he simply waved to the soldiers below.

then……

"Long live, long live, long live..." Shan Hu shouted like a tsunami.

Everyone's morale, which had been tried for a long time but failed to improve, was instantly pulled to the highest level.

Li Chengqian was a little depressed, but in this situation he was more excited.

Chen Jingke, who followed the crowd, experienced such a big scene for the first time, and his face flushed with excitement.

A sentence came to his mind, a man should be like this.

Seeing that the auspicious time had come, some officials brought the commander-in-chief flag and the tiger seal ribbon and asked Li Shimin to issue them.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I said that today is the crown prince seeing off the army, how can I break my promise, I will just watch from the side, and leave the rest to the crown prince."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian trembled with excitement, while the eyes of all the soldiers flickered, but they soon became firm.

Everyone knows that this is before helping the prince onto the stage.The inheritance of father and son is a matter of course, and the courtiers can only support and cannot have any opinions.

In this kind of matter, whoever has an opinion will die.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian took the handsome flag, handed it over solemnly, and said, "General Hou, please leave this battle."

Hou Junji bent down and took it with both hands, saying: "I respect the order of the crown prince, and I will return triumphantly with the grace of the prince."

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng..." Shan Hu's tsunami-like voice resounded through the sky again.
