Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, became lame due to a recurrence of his foot injury. He proposed at the court meeting to resign from the position of Crown Prince and just wanted to be a prince quietly.

This news shocked all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been the crown prince for seventeen or eighteen years, and now he actually says he wants to resign. This is quite outrageous.

But in the end there was no way out. Li Chengqian was unable to serve as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty due to his leg disease.

Li Shimin was not angry and decided on the spot to give the position of crown prince to Prince of Jin Li Zhi. Happiness came a little suddenly. Li Zhi suddenly felt that he had to get to know his sister Ruyi better when he returned home tonight.

To celebrate, he became the crown prince, and she naturally became the crown princess.

Among the military generals, Hou Junji was completely paralyzed, because his daughter was the Crown Princess, Li Chengqian's wife. But at this moment, Li Chengqian's title of Crown Prince was revoked, so he was just a prince.

Hou Junji thought about it and felt that the identity of a prince was actually not bad. He couldn't follow Zhang Liang's example and join the rebellion.

Li Zhi, who thought he had gotten a good deal, had not yet had time to rejoice.

Li Shimin continued, "Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Kong Yingda, and Zhangsun Wuji, you will be the Prince's Junior Tutors in the Eastern Palace from now on. I hope you can assist the Prince as soon as possible."

Now, it has been the 17th year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin is the emperor on horseback. He wants to rule Goguryeo. After all, many surrounding countries and small tribes have already submitted to him. Now Li Shimin can be said to be the leader of the whole of Asia.

"Order the Ministry of Revenue to start collecting food and fodder. This time I will personally lead the army to attack Goguryeo." Li Shimin said with a hearty laugh.

The Tang Dynasty today has a strong foundation, so it would be easy to defeat Goguryeo. However, Li Shimin actually wants to lead the army in person, which is a serious matter.

Zhang Sun Wuji immediately asked, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done. The matter of leading the army in person is of great importance and cannot be neglected."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I will lead the army in person, and the crown prince will govern the country. If you are undecided about domestic affairs, you can ask the queen. If you are undecided about foreign affairs, ask Prince Xian. Do you understand?"

Li Shimin had no intention of bringing Prince Xian with him on this expedition. After all, Jiang Ci would leave sooner or later, and he couldn't rely on him for everything.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes. Wow, wow, this guy is really a talent.

Li Shimin went to Goguryeo to lead the army in person. Out of kindness, Jiang Ci decided to lend He Yong to Li Shimin. At least protecting Li Shimin's safety was particularly important.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty easily changed the crown prince, but there was no turmoil. Only Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, almost laughed to death after hearing the news. Now he knew that being an emperor was really not easy. His fiefdom was very rich and there were many beauties. He, the prince, didn't want to go back to Chang'an after lying in this fiefdom.

Li Shimin was ready to conquer Goguryeo with his own hands. In the spring of the 18th year of Zhenguan, an army of 500,000 was sent to attack Goguryeo.

He Yong drove a four-wheel drive off-road electric vehicle provided by Jiang Ci. The most important thing is that the battery of the electric vehicle does not need to be charged. It can be used at will after being exposed to the sun. Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and many other generals accompanied him to fight against Goguryeo.

As for Crown Prince Li Zhi, he was obsessed with Wu Ruyi's gentleness. Although the world had been changed beyond belief, and there was no longer any talk of Li Zhi marrying his stepmother, Li Zhi was still very much infatuated with Wu Ruyi.

When Goguryeo heard the news that the Tang Dynasty was preparing to attack them, they were trembling with fear. Over the years, Japan had been ravaged by the evil, and they were still very close to Japan.
Moreover, Goguryeo was not without ideas about Japan, but they felt speechless because as many people went there as they died.

With Lianghai in Japan, Goguryeo's attempt to take advantage of it is simply wishful thinking.

At the beginning of the 20th year of Zhenguan,

Li Shimin returned triumphantly with his army. In this expedition, he not only recovered Goguryeo, but also some other minority tribes in the Liaodong Peninsula. For example, Khitan, etc. Some tribes that were unwilling to submit were quickly slaughtered by Li Shimin, leaving no one alive. Li Shimin was not an emperor who could not hold a knife.

Now Goguryeo is already in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and Japan has been harmed to the point where it has no fighting power at all.

The same was true for Nanzhao, so at this moment, Jiang Ci took out the map of the entire world and let Li Shimin take a good look at it. Generally speaking, Jiang Ci still wanted Li Shimin to turn the people on the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa into people of the Tang Dynasty.

“The Turks are no longer a threat to us now. When Jie Li Khan fled back to the Turks, he fell ill not long after. It is said that he was still having nightmares before his death. He was frightened by the brutality of you when you defeated the Turkish cavalry.” Li Shimin sat in the imperial study, looking at Jiang Ci with a smile.

Jiang Ci shook his head. "These are all old things. The Turks are naturally nothing to be afraid of now, but if we want to make them surrender completely, then I still suggest that we share what we have. After all, the Turks' territory now belongs to us. Share what we have, and in the end, we can make them Chinese."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right. By the way, kid, you didn't encounter any precious treasures in Goguryeo this time, but He Yong picked two concubines for you. You will know when you return home. I also want to go and chat with Guanyin to express my longing for you."

Jiang Ci was speechless, but it was understandable. Empress Changsun was now around 40 years old, but her appearance had not changed at all. She was still like a young girl in her twenties. The sisters in the harem were almost envious of her.

Jiang Ci then simply left the imperial study, and Li Shimin sat alone in the imperial study, looking at the map of Asia, and then at the world map. He seemed to be thinking about something, then drew a circle in the map and said, "It's you."

Jiang Ci returned to Prince Xian's mansion, and now his wives and concubines were no longer obsessed with having children. Everyone had things to do.

Zheng Liwan is now a teacher at a private school, teaching and educating people, but she only teaches girls.

Li Xueyan is still studying various ways to increase grain production and how to reduce labor.

After Jiang Ci returned to Prince Xian's residence, he said to He Yong, "You should keep the two concubines you brought back."

He Yong knew that his own prince would not like that, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Master."
