The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 643

After the banquet was over, Chang Sun Chong and Du He said goodbye cheerfully while holding each other's shoulders, reeking of alcohol.

"Brother Du...Brother Du, from now on, you...you will be my eldest Sun Chong's friend! Today, we are very...very happy! Brother Du has been promoted, and I congratulate you here!"

The two of them hooked their shoulders together, almost unable to speak.

"Where...where...where, it is my little brother's blessing to serve beside His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future! Brother Eldest Grandson, please take care of me!"

"Okay, Brother Du! Let's change it... see you another day!"

"Hey, why change the date? I can't say it. In two days, my younger brother will accompany His Highness to visit the Changsun Mansion. We will see you then!"

Du He replied confidently.

Changsun Chong's complexion rose, he patted Du He's shoulder, and handed him a smile that you understand.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for His Highness and Brother Du when the time comes!"

"Brother grandson, the younger brother will go ahead!"

After Du He staggered away, Chang Sun Chong stood in front of the restaurant with his hands behind his back, looking forward to his own strength for a while, with a drunken face all over his face.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness, who is in the limelight now, admires his cousin so much.

It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The ancients never deceived me.

It's so embarrassing, it's really too embarrassing.

Under the flattering farewell of his friends in the same industry, Chang Sun Chong was just about to return home eloquently.

Have fun today!
This Du He, Mo is also a talent!
Changsun Chongxu took two steps and rolled his eyes.

Can't help but think carefully, should I tell my father about this matter?
Now, even he, the young master who was imprisoned in the mansion, knew that the East Palace was the place where countless family dignitaries were staring at and wanting to send their own children there.

Why don't he go to the East Palace to find an errand, firstly, to get rid of his father's confinement, and secondly, with his relationship with his eldest son Chong, the official position must not be too small.

There are miles, there are faces!

It really makes sense the more I think about it.

No, you can't tell that dead old man about it!
Since the old man came back before the New Year's Eve, he was locked up in the mansion to study and practice like a convulsion. If he dared to go out, he would let Buqu go to him, it must be a whip.

The past six months have been miserable!

If it wasn't for my book boy to cover up today, how could I come out and relax for a while.

If you want to get rid of this life, you must find the aunt who is the empress.

His aunt has always loved him, and it will be more reliable to find his aunt than the dead old man when the time comes.

The eldest grandson was determined, and tomorrow he would find a way to sneak out quietly and head straight to the palace to find his aunt.

He never wanted to live a day under the care of this dead old man!

……

Day two.

Morning look.

In the Chengqing Hall, Li Shimin and a group of Tang giants sat down again.

All of them frowned, analyzing the military intelligence report.

Today, the battle ahead is going well.

Li Jing's army was about to drive straight into the Turkic hinterland, pretending to attack the Mobei royal court head-on, but Jieli's army didn't have the grandeur and ambition of Xuanwei just after the new year.

Since the battle of crossing the beach of the Yellow River, the battle has become more and more defeated.

Now, it has returned to the Turkic border early!
Just after the Tiger-Wolf Pass was broken and the Turkic army's morale collapsed, how could there be any reason not to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baoxiang on the front line of Ganzhou, with 3 horses, have joined forces with each other, forming a corner on the left of Narkha on the border of Huihe. Su Guogong's army is also divided in Yunzhou and Shuozhou. The two armies will watch each other for a long time!"

"My Tang army can approach the territory of the Turks at any time!"

As soon as the topic changed, Du Ruhui's expression sank a little.

"But, the problem of food and grass is really a worry in my Tang Dynasty! Now, the only key to defeating the Turks lies in the food and grass of the Five Route Army!"

War has always been a time when huge resources are consumed.

But it's still hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now, if there is food and grass, there is it, and if it is not, it is not.

Difficult!

Now it seems that the Turks can be defeated, if the loss is on the grain and grass, it will be a sigh of relief!
Li Shimin frowned, and said in a deep voice, "When will the grain and grass in the Jianghuai area arrive?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the grain and grass in the Jianghuai area have been collected, but it is not allowed. Now... I am afraid it can be enough for the two armies for a month."

Fang Xuanling frowned, and replied helplessly.

"Let's give an order first, let the food collected in the Jianghuai area be sent to Zhang Shigui and Li Ji's army quickly! These three rounds of support for Li Jing's left and right wings must not let the Turks see any clues!"

"Remember, Wu Yunzheng, the governor of Hezhou, must be sent there within five days, and he will be killed if he is delayed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

With Li Shimin's order, Fang Xuanling, who was next to him, immediately left the hall and hurriedly went to the three provinces to read the article, and within half a quarter of an hour, he flew away on a flying horse.

Nowadays, there are frequent disasters this year, but worrying about disaster relief and food allocation, the food shortage in Datang, the problem of food is really a problem that has never been reassuring in the past few years.

Now the war against Mobei is intensifying. Although preparations have been made before the war, it is about to invade the Turkic hinterland right now, and the problem of food and grass is consumed much faster than expected.

Absolutely sufficient food and grass must be prepared, otherwise the fort will fall to the front of the mountain due to a single stone.

Li Shimin made a decisive decision, turned around and said to Changsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, go and prepare all the food and grass in the Chang'an city treasury, count as much as you have! Send it to the front line immediately! The time is not difficult, I feel sorry for it, no matter what, I can't let the big Tang boys who are fighting on the front line Worry about the future!"

A trace of determination flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

This was originally used to help the grain and grass in the Hexi area. The Hexi Duwei has been reported to the court before the New Year's Eve. The snowstorm in Hexi has caused the people's livelihood to decline.

Now the food that was just about to be sent to Hexi Road had to be sent to the front line first.

Now, if you imagine cheating Chang'an's family like before the New Year's Eve, I'm afraid it's just an empty show and no one will listen.

Right now, the only way to prepare for emergencies is to prepare all available food.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, his eyes moved, and he said without the slightest hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the war is urgent and the food is dying. I would like to donate food on behalf of the eldest grandson's family. In addition, the old minister would like to issue a divination letter tomorrow to borrow food from the Shandong clans! To help the country!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his face was delighted and his heart was relieved.

He knows that this kind of thing has always been a thankless task.

Although the eldest grandson's family is the leader of the Guanlong Group's aristocratic family, they want to come from the dignity and pride of several families.

Now Changsun Wuji is willing to give up his face to borrow food, which can be said to have helped him a lot, and it has also helped the battle of Mobei!
"Thank you for the auxiliary machine! For all the sons who fought for the Great Tang, thank you for the great righteousness of the auxiliary machine!"

"Don't worry, the food borrowed by the auxiliary machine, no matter how much it is, will be counted on my head. In the future, I will definitely not let you down!"

Li Shimin's heart was uplifted, and he patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder and said with relief.

As expected of my good uncle, thinking about cheating him tens of thousands before coming here, I really feel a little bit guilty.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I am blessed by Your Majesty, and in a high position, how can I not do it for my Tang!"

Changsun Wuji's body is upright, and his eyes are full of the heart of the country. For a while, he doesn't seem to be deceitful at all, which doesn't match his city-wide expansion.

Thinking about the past six months, Changsun Wuji was deafened by Tang Sufan's words and pondered for a long time.

If you want to seek the blessings of the descendants of the eldest grandson's family, you can only get rewards if you give up first.

The best way to preserve the good fruits of the eldest grandson's family in the future is to continue to bind the eldest grandson's family with the royal family.

Among them, the best way is marriage.

Now after this incident, I will propose to His Majesty and Empress about the marriage between Chong'er and the current eldest princess Li Lizhi.

It can be said that it is a matter of course!
And as Tang Sufan's position in His Majesty's heart rose, his position as the number one favorite was in jeopardy.

If he didn't do anything else, his grandson Wuji would be really stupid.

face?

The so-called those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek the overall situation.

Therefore, face is not important at the moment.

After discussing the military situation for a while again, the monarchs and ministers finally left.

However, there were still a few people left.
