"Smile, smile, just smile. Do you know that your grandpa and I have been tricked?"

"Chuck~"

"Still laughing?"

"Chuck~"

Ji Song had no choice but to scrape the little guy's nose. Good guy, he grabbed his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You can't eat this, be good, take this!"

Hand the milk bottle to him and let him play with it.

Seeing the empty lobby, I thought about where to go today. I can't stay at home anyway. This girl is crazy!
"Master, there is news from the palace, asking you to go to the palace immediately!"

Just when he was wondering how to spend today, Lao Liu hurriedly came over and said.

Ji Song was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, glanced at the little guy who was still giggling, and whispered: "Okay, your food is in order today!"

At this time, in Wuying Pavilion, Li Shimin was looking at the noisy crowd and wanted to go up and kick someone.They have been quarreling since the next court, but they haven't come up with a charter until now.

Disarmament cannot be hidden, even if he wants to, but no one is a fool.Which of these generals is the most fuel-efficient?This had just begun to show signs, but it was resisted by many generals below.

Today, we come here to be honest and honest. Otherwise, if these people don't support us, we don't know what trouble will happen.

However, at this time, he found that this bastard Cheng Yaojin was very quiet. Something was wrong, something was very wrong!

If he had followed his previous temperament, he would probably be dancing the most happily at this moment, but now he is very quiet, which would be strange if there were no ghosts.

"Lu Guogong!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and looked at the emperor. He realized that it was him who was calling him, and he quickly said: "I am here!"

Li Shimin's face was uncertain. He wanted to see something from this guy's face, but after looking at it for a while, he had to give up the idea.

"Ai Qing, what do you think of this matter? After all, you are also a veteran in the army. If you have any ideas, just say it. Today everyone can speak freely. As long as what you say is meaningful, it doesn't matter even if you are wrong!" Li Shimin encouraged.

Cheng Yaojin blinked his eyes. Nothing could be seen on his face, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

If that boy Ji Song hadn't given him the all-clear yesterday, would he be so quiet today?You know you can't do anything about it, but why are you arguing so much!

"Return to His Majesty"

He looked at the emperor helplessly, but what he said next almost made everyone fall.

"Can we not disarm? Those old guys have all worked hard for the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it a bit unrighteous for us to pick up the bowl to eat and then put the bowl down to scold our mother? We will be stabbed in the spine."

"Do you think this is true?" "Ahem~"

Li Shimin almost choked to death. He glared at this bastard, thinking that this was his true nature. He wanted to have any suggestions or opinions, but...that's it?

Li Chengqian's face was very dark at this time, but he was not his father, so he still had to maintain a minimum of respect for this guy.Otherwise, if a reputation for disrespecting adults spreads out, your reputation will be ruined!
"Gong Lu, we are discussing something. How can the important matters of the family and the country be discussed in terms of loyalty? I, Changsun Pushe, Prime Minister Xie, Prime Minister Chu and others have already said this before. There are too many armies in the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of them. Ten thousand troops, this is beyond the imperial court’s ability to support.”

"Yes, the imperial court now pays a lot of taxes, but even so, a full [-]-[-]% of the national treasury is used for the army. This is still when there is no war in peacetime. Once there is a war, it is not impossible to empty the national treasury! "

Li Chengqian had to reiterate the reasons for disarmament, hoping that this old guy would stop messing around. Otherwise, with this guy's relationship and prestige in the military, if he took the lead in resisting, things would be really difficult to handle!
Cheng Yaojin seemed a little frightened when he heard this, and murmured: "So the court is already so difficult? My dear, a million troops? It is indeed a bit too much."

Just when everyone thought he was going to say something sarcastic, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Then lay off, grandma, all the taxes paid by the common people in the world have been eaten by millions of troops? Where is that place?" How can we survive this natural disaster?"

"Cut, must be cut, Lao Cheng raises his hands and both feet in approval!"

Li Shimin was stunned, and so were Li Chengqian and the ministers.

"Is this the real Duke Lu? Cheng Yaojin?" Li Shimin trembled.

Li Ji on the side became anxious and angrily yelled at Cheng Yaojin: "Are you sitting on a crooked butt? Do you know how much impact it will have on the army once disarmament occurs? They are all the elites of the Tang Dynasty. Once they are If someone takes advantage of it, it will be a huge disaster. Can you take the responsibility?"

"And those old people, what are they going to do after being kicked out of the army? They are all alone, and I'm afraid they will starve to death in a short time!"

After speaking, he bowed to Li Shimin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I agree with the disarmament, but it is too much. If the imperial court cannot come up with a plan to arrange the disarmament personnel, I will never agree."

Li Shimin sighed and glanced at the indifferent Cheng Yaojin, who felt more and more wrong.But at this time, he couldn't care less. He could only comfort Li Ji and said, "Don't worry about this. I have also been on the battlefield. How can I not know the situation in the army?"

"Now is different from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides. The northern Turks, Goguryeo, Uighurs, Tuyuhun, etc. were all eyeing the Tang Dynasty. If you are not careful, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty that you and I have worked hard to build will be destroyed. To capsize.”

"But look at this time? The Eastern Turks are gone, and the Western Turks that originally threatened the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were wiped out by Duke Xin. Even the Western overlords like Dashi were beaten back to their hometown by us, and what we fought for for decades The territory was restored in an instant.”

"Goguryeo became the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Our Tang Dynasty warships roamed the sea and were invincible. Wherever they went, everyone surrendered."

"It can be foreseen that there is unlikely to be a major war in the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades. In this case, it is completely unnecessary to maintain such a large army."

Xie Lian came out at this time and said: "We can all understand the British Duke's mood. Although we are civil servants, we also know how difficult it is for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. But there are priorities!"

"If there is no war, should we let go of Manan Mountain? No, we are just dismantling unnecessary troops, and the best and most capable soldiers are the ones we want to preserve and train. In this way, there will be fewer troops. . But they are even more elite. We can use countless resources to cultivate elites. This will not only not reduce the military strength of Datang, but also greatly improve their elite level."

"The soldiers are better, not too many, Mr. British!"

Li Ji: "."

Doesn't he understand these principles?
No, he understands everything.But he is unwilling to do so. This is cutting flesh off the military body!The cutting leaves people speechless, and it is upright! (End of chapter)
