This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 214 Volume Two

"Why?" Wei Zheng laughed, a little anxiously, "You only saw the Great Ming Dynasty's battle and shocked the world! Who ever thought about how they did all this?

In the hinterland of Riyue Mountain, there is a large shed called the canteen.

Everyone from top to bottom in the entire Ming court was eating in the cafeteria. You know that even if it is old grain that has turned yellow, they dare not waste a single grain!
Even His Highness King Ming, who you say doesn't know the etiquette, still eats old food to satisfy his hunger!

It's not that Chen Liang can't be eaten, but that the royal court of Ming Dynasty only eats Chen Liang...

And in the Ming court, apart from those children in the school, even if there is only one hand left!Who doesn't sleep at three o'clock and wake up at five o'clock?Don't you just want to live like a human being?

By the way, there is a mountain in the imperial court of Ming Dynasty, named Yongshan.

The mountain is not high, but there are many inscriptions, and behind each inscription, there are fresh lives!
King Ming once said that they were the ones who consolidated the foundation of the Ming court!

You have never seen, never seen how poor the Ming court is, they lack everything!
Lack of food, lack of tools, lack of technology, that is, they don't even have the most basic food growing!

They can go all the way to today, this old man should call it a miracle!

You only saw that Prince Ming and his relatives messed up the etiquette in your hearts, but you didn't see a young man using himself as a bargaining chip in order to support his own people! "

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng burst into tears, "Who would have thought that a young man in his teens, in order to sell himself quickly and at a good price, would actually tell this old man who was half buried in the loess that he Miss a woman!

From the beginning to the end, His Highness never asked me that woman's name, how old she is, whether she has both ability and political integrity... No, His Highness never asked, he just urged the old minister to hurry up!
Take a look, and see what the dowry His Highness wants!Take a look, and see what that impolite Highness in your heart is doing! "

With that said, Wei Zheng threw the list Li Chengqian made up from his arms onto Wang Shilang's chest, and everyone was speechless for a moment.

Wei Zheng's words were not shocking, but they made them feel mixed.

Li Er also had tears on his face, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Gao Ming has grown up!" This was the conclusion Li Er, who had been silent for a long time, finally came to.

After the others reacted, they swarmed over and took the list prepared by Li Chengqian from Wang Shilang.

Only Wang Shilang was left alone in the wind.

What's going on here?He can't figure it out...

As for the others, they shook their heads helplessly when they saw the items on the list.

Indeed, the list is densely packed, but none of them are items to satisfy a certain individual's selfish desires.

This made everyone not know what to say for a while.

Do you object?
From the perspective of etiquette, it should indeed be opposed.

But why, this objection can't be said?

Xiao Yu's face was blank, he had the most upright and strict personality, logically, he should stand up and raise his arms in this kind of thing, but he couldn't take that step.

"God bless the Great Tang, His Highness the Crown Prince is so generous and kind, it must be the blessing of the Great Tang!"

At this moment, Lu Zhengqing stood up and said.

This surprised everyone. He was the first one to attack Li Chengqian in the Tai Chi Hall.

However, his words are also the reason why everyone has not spoken for a long time.

They need such a generous and benevolent prince!

In the future court, even if they are gone, their heirs will still be there.

Wang Shilang was stunned, what's the matter?
Why did Lu Zhengqing jump out?

Their five surnames and seven hopes are one.

Before he could open his mouth, Fang Xuanling also stood up and said: "Since the two countries have diplomatic relations, there is nothing wrong with it, but getting married is a major event after all. The Ming court should send envoys to the Tang Dynasty."

Regarding what Li Chengqian did, Fang Xuanling still recognized it.

Anyway, this was indeed a good sign, so he stood up right away, setting the tone for the marriage.

Moreover, for Datang, this is actually not a loss.

Li Chengqian was going to get married after all, it was inevitable, it was just a different way.

Besides, Li Chengqian was originally the prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if everything was given to him, so what?It's just left hand to right hand.

In the future, His Highness will return to court, and Datang will have an extra piece of territory for nothing.

In this way, there is actually no loss to Datang.

"His Majesty King Ming has a letter written by an old minister to forward to His Majesty on his behalf. His Highness said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming court, there were not enough manpower to go to the Tang Dynasty. Please forgive me." Wei Zheng took out the letter from his bosom again. A letter written by Li Chengqian.

Li Er asked someone to take the letter, and read it very seriously.

It could be seen that Li Er was really emotional.

Of course, Li Er probably knows what he thinks in his heart.

After reading Li Chengqian's letter, Li Er solemnly folded the letter and put it in his arms.

The meaning of this is obvious, don't make up your mind.

However, from this point of view, there is still a gap between Li Er and Li Chengqian. When Li Chengqian got the letter of credence written by Li Er, he was called impatient.

Following Wei Zheng's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians, Fang Xuanling set the tone of the marriage, and this matter was a foregone conclusion.

In fact, everyone understands that Li Shimin can only hold his nose and admit it.

Li Chengqian was going to get married after all, it was inevitable.

And they didn't want Li Chengqian to marry a woman from another race, so they didn't have many choices.

Besides, Li Chengqian's various performances have shown his talent, coupled with his generosity and kindness, isn't this just the prince in everyone's hearts?

Even if Wang Shilang and Cui Yushi are representatives of the five surnames and Qiwang, they have to admit this.

As for their opposition, that is also inevitable.

From their standpoint, they have to oppose. Sometimes, things that are opposed for the sake of opposition really exist.

At the same time, Riyue Mountain.

Li Chengqian gathered everyone to hold the first foreign war meeting of the Ming court.

Not to mention, everyone is very excited.

Before the meeting, Li Chengqian said: "This king has signed a tripartite non-aggression pact with Datang and Tuyuhun..."

After briefly introducing this matter to everyone, Li Chengqian said, "That is to say, in the future, in Chishuiyuan, it will only be a battle between us and Murong Shun. In the future, Chishuiyuan will either be left with us or him." Murong Shun, there is no third choice."

"This is still a bit tricky for us." Ihara Suk said, "Not to mention that Murong Shun's command can gather tens of thousands of elite soldiers at any time, even Chishuiyuan's population of hundreds of thousands is not something we can match."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Yi made a mistake. If Murong Shun is only tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, then I will definitely avoid his edge. Even though we won the final victory in the previous Riyue Mountain defense battle, This king will not blindly think that the imperial court of Ming Dynasty is capable enough to rival Murong Shun."

Everyone nodded, that is indeed the case.

Everyone knows how they won the Riyue Mountain defense battle.

This is not reproducible.

Before, they were worried that Li Chengqian's confidence would be extremely inflated after the first battle, which would make the entire Ming court fall into a catastrophe.

"But Chishuiyuan still has hundreds of thousands of herdsmen. This is our hope." Li Chengqian said, "Do you think these hundreds of thousands of herdsmen will be our enemies?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Yi Yuanfeng was a little puzzled.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. Remember, all people are like this. To deal with these hundreds of thousands of herdsmen, what we have to do is not to grab their cattle and sheep with knives and guns, but to let them Take a look with your own eyes, and see how good life is for the people of our Daming royal court.

Let them find the gap by themselves, and then they will make the right choice. "

After he finished speaking, everyone was still a little puzzled.

Li Chengqian didn't say much, there is no way to explain this, what he wants to do is to assimilate and let everyone agree with the Ming court, of course, this is a long way to go.

But for the current Li Chengqian, he has no shortage of time.

"You will understand later." Li Chengqian raised his hand and said, "Bring me the map."

The Tang Dynasty called Kanyutu, but Li Chengqian was not used to it.

Liu San immediately threw a map on the table, and Li Chengqian pointed to the place where Riyue Mountain came out of the mountain to the east and bordered Taoyuan, and said to Qibi Heli: "General, you will lead five thousand troops to march to the west. Is it possible to win this piece within a day?"

"This piece of land is short of grasslands, what's the point of taking them?" Qibi Heli was a little puzzled.

Li Chengqian said: "This king has already negotiated with Datang to open a negotiating field on the border between Taoyuan and the Ming court, so this area must be firmly in our hands.

For us, the discussion field is not only an exchange with Datang, but also the cornerstone of the commercial development of the Ming court! "

"The final general will take this piece within one day!" Qibi Heli said immediately after hearing the words.

He knew all too well what this meant to the Daming royal court.

In the final analysis, the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty was simply not capable of self-sufficiency, and it was difficult to support so many people.

As for taking this piece of land, he is not too worried. During this period of time, he also sent many scouts to operate on the grassland. Except for a few small tribes scattered here and there, Li Chengqian's land was not capable at all. power against them.

As for Murong Shun's King Ning Army, they are still stationed outside Chishui City.

After listening to Qibi He Li, Li Chengqian continued: "Boss Yi, you have to prepare, the construction team will have a lot of work in the future! My king will also formulate a detailed construction plan for you. When the time comes , the wheel shaft rotates at twelve hours a day, and try to complete the work within the fastest time."

Ihara Suk nodded. He has experience in this field, so it's not a big deal.

Whether it's a construction site or a city built on the grassland, the future construction team will be busy.

"General Yi, your resentment army has no military mission recently, and the first task is to drill. Remember, what the king wants is a strong army, a strong army that can truly stand up to ten!" For Yi Yuanfeng and the others, Li Chengqian has no plans for the time being. .

After the previous battle, it was time for the resentful army to recuperate.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian explained the tasks one by one. Except for Qibi Heli, Wang Jin and Wang Xuance who were left behind, the rest of them went to work on their own.

"This is the first time that the Royal Court of the Ming Dynasty sent troops out of Riyue Mountain. Does the General know what this means to the Royal Court of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Chengqian asked.

Qi Bi He Li was not stupid, he nodded and said, "You can only win but not lose."

The first time the troops left Riyue Mountain, they suffered a defeat, which would be a blow to everyone's morale.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "The general is half right. Victory is inevitable. This king firmly believes that Murong Shun's character is indecisive. He dare not send troops to the Ming court easily. If Yun didn't inform him, it is estimated that he is still waiting for Murong Fuyun to send troops.

Even if Murong Fuyun informed him, he would still ponder over whether he wanted to be an enemy of this king.

So, now is our best time. "

As for Murong Shun, Li Chengqian admitted that he was wrong, but even if he was wrong, his understanding of this person was still pretty much the same.

From the time when Murong Shun ordered Dayan Mangjiebo to sit in Riyue Mountain, he could see that Murong Shun didn't want to have a bad relationship with Datang, this was his chance.

"The general is going out of Riyue Mountain this time, there is one thing to keep in mind.

Be ruthless when you should be ruthless, but be gentle when you should be gentle.

You can't kill them all in one go. Li Chengqian said, "As for when to be ruthless and when to be gentle, does the general know?" "

Qibi Heli is also a fine individual, upon hearing this, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, that's fine, but the last general has to ask His Highness for someone."

"Who?" Li Chengqian smiled.

"Brother Xuan Ce." Qibi He Li said, "I'm good at killing people, but how to make those guys return to their hearts, I have to let Brother Xuan Ce come. He is good at this."

He is a very well-mannered person, and he also knows how to measure. He can't do things like buying people's hearts, so he called Wang Xuance by name.

This is also the reason why Li Chengqian kept Wang Xuance behind, and immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, Xuance, you will go with the general this time, or Wang Jin will lead people to protect you. , You look back and see for yourself."

With that said, Li Chengqian took out an envelope.

Inside the envelope were his specific arrangements for Wang Xuance and Wang Jin.

Wang Xuance nodded immediately, and took the envelope.

As for Wang Jin, he didn't say a word.

He didn't need to express his opinion, he would do whatever Li Chengqian told him.

Soon, Qibi Heli assembled an army and set off.

In fact, as Qibi Heli said, in just one day, Qibi Heli captured the area from Riyue Mountain to Taoyuan.

The next day, Ihara tin also set off with the engineering team.

His current engineering team is almost entirely composed of captives from that day. In order to prevent the captives from rioting, Qibi Heli even sent a battalion of soldiers back.

In the temporary camp, Qibi Heli gathered the generals of the battalion and Wang Xuance, and they were also discussing. The territory has been won, but the problem is how to defend it.

Although Murong Shun has not reacted yet, you have to be on guard.

After everyone talked and discussed, Qibi Heli made a final decision: "After taking this area, the distance from Riyue Mountain to Taoyuan is 120 miles, so we might as well build camps every [-] miles. , One battalion is stationed, and the other battalion is used as a maneuver, so that if there is an enemy attack, we can take care of each other."

The grassland is like this. There is no danger to defend. It is really difficult for 120 people to defend the 5000-mile defense line.

He also knows that it is not good to disperse the troops, but if it is not dispersed, the 120-mile defense line is like a sieve...

"There is no need for four camps." Wang Xuance said, "The Tang army is stationed at the Qaichang, so we don't need to send too many people there."

Hearing this, Qibi Heli was overjoyed and said, "That's even better, with 2000 people on the move, even if a certain battalion is attacked, they can rush to support faster.

By the way, isn't your Highness Chief Pai here with the engineering team? What are they mainly doing? "

"I don't know the details, but every camp has them, maybe it's for construction." Wang Xuance shook his head, he was not very clear about this.

Daming royal court moved so fast that no one could have expected it.

But in Chang'an City, Li Er and Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty just recognized Li Chengqian's act of marriage with their noses, and one after another memorials came again.

You don't even need to open it to look, just from the three names of Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Cui Mingyuan, everyone knows that it's probably Li Chengqian who is making trouble again.

Fortunately, today is Chang Chao, and there are not many people participating.

"This bastard, can't you calm down?" Li Er was really speechless.

This is too much to do!

"Your Majesty, I wonder what Duke Su said in their memorial?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Er waved his hand and asked someone to bring the memorial to them.

After reading the memorial, everyone was speechless.

"Your Majesty, this..." Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say.

Li Chengqian has gone too far.

Especially the tripartite non-aggression treaty sent back by Cheng Yaojin.

Such a treaty is by no means Li Chengqian's decision.

Even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it will not work.

In Datang, Li Er was the only one who could make such a decision!
"This tripartite non-aggression treaty, Gao Ming Mixin asked me before, and I have already agreed." Li Er said helplessly.

It's okay, he has to take care of this matter for Li Chengqian, if he doesn't take care of it, Li Chengqian will be in trouble if he does this alone.

And after hearing what Li Er said, everyone stopped talking, whether it was true or not, this was already the best result.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the Liannu is really as stated in the memorial?" Li Jing asked again.

Li Er nodded, and said: "I tried it, and it is indeed as stated in the memorial, ten rounds in a row, one point and one point, this transaction can be done even if the other party is not smart."

For this, he may be the most satisfied.

Although the range of the Liannu is limited, there is still room for improvement, and it will be left to the general to supervise.

Besides, this in itself is supporting his son, so what is there to say?

"It's not important. What's important is Cui Mingyuan's memorial..." Fang Xuanling said, "Datang has never opened a discussion forum. If we open this first, I'm afraid it will attract opposition from many people."

This memorial is the most troublesome.

Li Chengqian took it for granted.

He thought that the opening of a discussion field would allow the two countries to communicate with each other, which is a good thing anyway.

But he forgot that the appearance of the discussion field really harmed the interests of the gentry.

Do you really think that there will be no business relationship between Datang and those foreign countries?
Not to mention the Chang'an West Market, but those noble families in the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't have a caravan to run this line?

Once the discussion starts, will their caravan still need to run?

The former private enterprise has been directly turned into a state-owned enterprise, what a fart!

The point is, this is not to say that Taoyuan is a place to discuss, this is the first of its kind!

"Spread the news first and see the reaction." Li Er was also very helpless, this shit happened every day.

Fang Xuanling nodded, but there was no better way.

In fact, he also knows that it will be a good thing for Datang if the market is really opened up. Among other things, the tax must be increased. In the past, those caravans who ran this line did not receive a single cent from the court. per cent tax.

No way, that's called smuggling...

Sure enough, as Chang Chao dispersed, news spread.

Chang'an City exploded!

This is a fart!
Jingzhaowei's family and the gentry gathered together, and Wang Shilang immediately said: "If there is the first one, there will be the second one! Everyone, think about it carefully, whether this debate can be opened!"

"This is not a matter of a few people." Someone said, "This is a competition for the interests of the people. With such actions, the common people will not have a way out!"

"Yes, competing for profit with the people, how can this be the case in a dignified country?" Immediately, someone began to hold their stinky feet.

Cui Yushi said: "Let's make a note, such a bad government must not be carried out."

This time, everyone was extremely united.

Without him, this is their core interest.

What Li Chengqian did before actually did little harm to their interests.

But the opening of the forum this time has moved their interests.

As far as the Lu family is concerned, their trade with Goguryeo supports nearly [-]% of the Lu family's net profit every year. If Datang and Goguryeo also engage in a dispute in the future, wouldn't they lose [-]% of the profit in vain?

The same is true of most other families.

Everyone has a caravan to go to Fanbang.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Tuyuhun. If it weren't for them secretly selling grain, how many more people would have died in Tuyuhun's snowstorm these years!

Therefore, this debate cannot be opened.

But in the afternoon, Li Er's desk was already full of memorials, and without exception, they were all opposed to opening a discussion forum.

After reading two copies casually, Li Er shook his head and didn't bother to read them.

It's almost cookie cutter nonsense.

Compete with the people?

He laughed.

Whose cake was moved, doesn't he know?
He knows, but it's really difficult for him to handle this matter.

The main reason is that there are too many people in this chain of interests...

Some headaches.

"Send someone to send a message quickly and tell Gao Ming that he should forget about the dispute." Shaking his head, Li Er said.

He had thought about it, and it would be useless to fall out with those gentry now for a dispute.

As an emperor, he would not make a decision lightly.

Weighing the pros and cons is what he has to do.

Doesn't he know the benefits of the market?

I know, but so what.

There are too many people in this chain of interests.

The opposition was too loud.

It was just a rumor that his desk was filled with protesting memorials. If this is really carried out, the consequences can be imagined.

Emperor, how can it be so easy to be...
