I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 122 Qin Jiansheng: The emperor values ​​Li Zheng far more than you and I imagined!

"Yes."

Zhao Ming and Zhao Ming nodded immediately.

"Okay, take a few dozen personal guards and follow me to the East Palace."

Li Zheng turned around again, and he who had just entered the house walked out again.

"General."

"Didn't you just go to the palace for an audience? Why are you going to the East Palace again?"

Wu Yuanlong asked curiously.

"In the palace, the emperor has important matters. In the East Palace, of course, the prince has important matters."

Li Zheng smiled and said no more.

……

Protector's Mansion.

"How are you doing?"

Qin Jiansheng came to the room where his brother was recovering from his injuries.

"Brother, that boy was too cruel."

Qin Haisheng looked angry: "If it weren't for my little sister's sake, I would never be done with him."

"You brought it on yourself."

"Besides, if Li Zheng hadn't been merciful to you, you wouldn't have been like this."

"This time is a lesson to you. Don't provoke Li Zheng again in the future. You can't afford to provoke him."

Hearing this, Qin Jiansheng said in a deep voice.

"Brother, why did the emperor summon you today?"

Qin Haisheng asked.

"The Emperor has inquired about my little sister's marriage and asked the Ministry of Rites to fix a wedding date for Li Zheng and my little sister."

Qin Jiansheng replied.

"This boy is so lucky to be so respected by the emperor."

Qin Haisheng said with an angry look.

"This is not just luck, our nephew has also been named by the emperor himself."

Qin Jiansheng said again.

"The emperor personally gave the name?"

Qin Haisheng was immediately shocked.

"Name me, Li Xian."

Qin Jiansheng said in a deep voice, with deep meaning in his tone.

"Li Xian?"

"This...isn't this the name of the royal family?"

"How could the emperor give such a name?"

Qin Haisheng chewed on the name, and his expression changed as he realized what he was saying.

"What I want to tell you is that the emperor's regard for Li Zheng far exceeds our imagination, and he will definitely make every effort to cultivate her in the future. And today in the Daming Palace, the prince also proposed to betroth Princess Li Zhi to Li Zheng?"

"Do you know what this means?"

Qin Jiansheng said in a deep voice, staring at his stupid brother.

"Princess Li Zhi, the emperor's eldest daughter and the prince's sister, has a distinguished status. If she is betrothed to Li Zheng, she will naturally be his wife."

"What about my little sister?"

Hearing this, Qin Haisheng's expression changed.

"Now you know how to care about your sister? Why didn't you think about your sister before?"

Qin Jiansheng scolded her coldly, but then added: "Li Zheng has a deep love for my younger sister and refused the prince's betrothal. My younger sister will still be Li Zheng's official wife from now on."

"But the prince also made a promise to Li Zheng. If Li Zheng makes meritorious service to the country in the future, Princess Li Zhi can still be betrothed to him."

"Now, do you still think that Li Zheng is not worthy of my little sister? Is it because he is so high on our Qin family?"

"Li Zheng doesn't go too far for the sake of my little sister's affection. I hope you can be wiser in the future. If you provoke Li Zheng again, I won't be able to protect you."

"Reflect on yourself." After saying this, Qin Jiansheng turned around and left without saying anything more.

But Qin Haisheng was completely stunned at this moment.

The emperor gave me a name!

The prince grants marriage!

This had a huge impact on him.

He had always felt that Li Zheng was superior to the daughter of the Qin family and was completely defeated.

……

In the main hall of the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian returned from the palace, he has been handling government affairs.

The East Palace, where the prince and crown prince resides, is like a small court, and the lineup of the East Palace owned by Li Chengqian is also rare in history.

Half of Li Shimin's twenty-four heroes who are still alive serve in the East Palace as subordinate officials. The government affairs he handles are all sent directly from the Six Ministries and the Zhongshu Province. Only those matters that Li Chengqian feels are important will be handed over to the current emperor Li Shimin, and other matters will be handled by Li Chengqian.

Later generations commented that Li Shimin favored the fourth prince Wei Wang Li Tai in his later period and wanted to replace him as Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

But in the early days, Li Shimin's favor for the prince was beyond measure.

However, in the later period, Li Chengqian's temperament changed drastically after he became seriously ill, and he repeatedly did things that dissatisfied Li Shimin, making Li Shimin deeply disappointed.

But he never thought about abolishing the position of prince, but Li Chengqian himself committed suicide in the end. Not only did he send people to assassinate the king of Wei Li Tai, but he also wanted to usurp the throne.

Li Shimin had to abolish his position as prince.

But now Li Chengqian has the emperor's full trust.

"Your Highness."

"The Duke of Rongguo, Li Zheng, comes to see you."

A Yulin military captain walked into the hall and respectfully reported.

Li Chengqian put down the memorial in his hand and smiled slightly:
  "Xuan."

"The prince has a purpose."

"Li Zheng came into the palace to see me."

The eunuch serving in the palace immediately shouted.

Li Zheng, wearing a gray suitcase, quickly walked into the main hall of the East Palace.

"Your Majesty, Li Zheng, see you, Your Highness."

Li Zheng bowed and saluted.

"sit down."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Zheng and motioned for him to sit on his side.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Zheng thanked him and sat down directly.

Facing Li Chengqian, unlike Li Shimin, Li Zheng was not so reserved and very casual.

"Do you know what Gu asked you to do?"

Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"I don't know this."

Li Zheng shook his head.

"It's related to the deployment of troops on the northern border."

"I just want to hear your thoughts."

Li Chengqian didn't sell out.

Li Zheng pondered for a moment and immediately figured it out: "His Highness wants to disband the army in the north?"

"Li Qing, you are really smart."

Li Chengqian immediately praised: "Because the result of your battle was to destroy the Turkic court, it is enough to protect the northern border from worries for at least ten years, or even longer. The 100,000 troops in the northern border are naturally too much."

"Gu Ziran is thinking about how to use these soldiers and horses to consolidate the border defense."

"Li Qing, do you think what Gu said makes sense?"

heard.

Li Zheng became thoughtful.

This question is really hard to answer.

Today, the main force of the Tang Dynasty is concentrated in the north, in the hands of Li Jing.

As the central court, there is no war in the north, so it is natural that these 100,000 troops are not allowed to be in the hands of one important court official.

Naturally, he has to adjust, but Li Zheng was born in the Northern Expeditionary Army. If he goes too far, he will offend the coach Li Jing.

"This matter still depends on the actual situation in the north, such as what is happening in the Turks now."

Li Zheng thought for a while and replied.

at this time.

"Report."

"The Governor of Luozhou and the Crown Prince Zhan Shi Zhang Liang are asking for an audience."

Outside, a voice sounded.

"Zhang Liang?"

"Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion."

"The villain who encouraged the prince to rebel, and then went to report and expose him, ended up dying on the road to rebellion."

"Another historical wonder!"

Li Zheng was also full of curiosity when he heard Zhang Liang's name.

This name is also famous in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

He was favored by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and his son, and was listed as one of the twenty-four meritorious officials.

In the end, he encouraged father and son to kill each other, trying to usurp the throne, and was eventually executed in the West Market. The ending was disappointing.
