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

Chapter 335 Li Shimin: Li Zheng is my prince

"As long as you understand." Li Shimin laughed and went straight to the topic without saying anything more: "Do you know why I summoned you this time?"

"Because Mr. Wei recommended grassroots people to govern Nanzhao." Chu Suiliang said respectfully.

"I know your talent."

"He recommended you, and I believe in you."

Li Shimin smiled.

"If the emperor re-enables me, I will be furious and swear to the death to repay the emperor's great kindness." Chu Suiliang knelt down and said with great gratitude.

"Wei Zheng."

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng again.

"I'm here," Wei Zheng replied immediately.

"There are many ministers in the court, and there are even more capable ones. Do you know why I chose you to govern Zhenla and give you a promotion?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"this…"

Wei Zheng raised his head, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

indeed.

Although Wei Zheng was an upright man, there were many capable ministers in the court. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Tang Jian, and Yu Shinan were not all famous ministers of their generation.

The only thing I did in court today was to propose a heavy reward to Li Zheng.

"Is it because of General Li Zheng?" Wei Zheng asked tentatively.

"I know that you have a good relationship with that boy Li Zheng, and I see it."

"There are also Qin Jiansheng, Tang Jian and others. They are all on good terms with Li Zheng. The former is his in-laws and the latter has similar interests. The same goes for you. You have been on good terms with Li Zheng since Li Zheng came to Beijing." Li Shimin led Said with deep meaning.

"Everyone in the court knows that the emperor is extremely benevolent to General Li. Unexpectedly, today I have taken advantage of General Li." Wei Zheng said with some emotion.

"Wei Zheng will set off to Zhenla to govern the day after tomorrow."

"Chu Suiliang will leave for Nanzhao to govern the day after tomorrow."

"I have already prepared the imperial edict."

Li Shimin picked up the two imperial edicts on the table.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The two men immediately prostrated themselves.

"The reason why I summoned you here today is to tell you something, that is, for the future of our Datang Dynasty, and especially for Li Zheng."

Li Shimin stared at the two of them and suddenly spoke, his expression extremely serious.

???

The two of them were stunned and looked at Li Shimin with some confusion.

"Li Zheng is my royal son."

"He is my biological son." Li Shimin said slowly.

As soon as these words fell.

boom!
It was like a bolt from the blue, exploding directly in the minds of the two people in the Tai Chi Hall.

For Wei Zheng, he had a good relationship with Li Zheng and they had similar interests. After Li Zheng came to Chang'an, he had a deep relationship with Li Zheng.

As for Chu Suiliang, although he had no contact with Li Zheng, he could naturally hear Li Zheng's name in Chang'an City. He was the God of War in the Tang Dynasty. He had made meritorious service to the country and was the most talented young man in the Tang Dynasty.

These can be heard among the people.

And now.

What did they hear?
The current emperor says that Li Zheng is his biological son?
Is this a joke?
Doesn't that mean that Li Zheng has royal blood and is a royal relative?

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang both raised their heads and looked at Li Shimin in shock, as if they had heard some incredible news.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

"I don't dare."

"The two replied immediately."

However, Wei Zheng raised his head, a little surprised, and said curiously: "As far as I know, there should be no royal family lost among the people, and there are no heirs of the emperor left among the people. General Li Zheng grew up in Jinyang, how could it be... how could it be possible? ?”

"Wei Zheng, you should still remember that I chased Liu Wuzhou in Jinyang, Shanxi Province. I led him in Shanxi for more than a year." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Of course I remember. I still remember that you and the late Lord Protector Qin Qiong fought in Shanxi. It is said that His Majesty was injured there. General Yuchi Jingde rushed to help and escorted His Majesty back to Chang'an." "Is it possible that at that time? "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has a prince?" Wei Zheng said with wide eyes.

"Now I completely understand why His Majesty sent me to Zhenla to govern because of my friendship with Li Zheng. It turns out that it is all because of Prince Li Zheng." Wei Zheng said with shock on his face, but his whole person was completely stunned.

"If the prince cannot wake up, I will pass the throne to Li Zheng."

"I have made an imperial edict and written Li Zheng's name on it."

"One emperor and one courtier."

"In the court of my emperor, it is natural that there must be someone who truly belongs to him, you, Wei Zheng, and you, Chu Suiliang."

"He's one of his own."

"I hope you can understand the meaning of this."

Li Shimin said very seriously.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang trembled, not understanding the meaning.

Just like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others in the imperial court, they were Li Shimin's direct descendants and held highly respected positions.

They are the future arranged by Li Shimin. Li Zheng's direct team members are Li Zheng's true people.

Li Shimin was cultivating them, and he was also retaining talents for his prince.

"I understand."

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang bowed and said solemnly.

"It's good if you understand."

"It's not yet time to announce Li Zheng's identity. The reason why I tell you is to make you mentally prepared."

"Zhenla and Nanzhao."

"Southern Xinjiang is the key. I hope you can manage it well and don't let me down."

"Similarly, as long as you manage it well, this will be your springboard, and you can do more things in the future." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"I will never tell anything about the prince, General Li, let alone talk nonsense." Wei Zheng and the others quickly assured.

"Take the imperial edict."

"Go back."

Li Shimin picked up the imperial edict on the table.

Wang De on the side immediately stepped forward and handed the imperial edict to the two of them.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Wei Zheng and Wei Zheng held the imperial edict in their hands and slowly exited the Tai Chi Hall, but their faces and hearts couldn't be calmed down.

They didn't expect to know such shocking news after entering the Tai Chi Hall.

"These two are good."

"One has a good relationship with Li Zheng, and the other is talented."

"And they are all very proud. With Li Zheng's ability, he can suppress them and use them."

Li Shimin said slowly.

"What the Emperor said is absolutely true."

"The emperor...General Li's abilities are not outstanding. Not to mention these two civil servants, even the arrogant and powerful generals in Shandong and Hebei have been subdued." Wang De said immediately.

"Now that Zhenla's most difficult bone has been chewed, it won't be long before Li Zheng can come back."

"I've only been away for a few months, and I really miss him a little." Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"indeed."

"General Li is no longer in Chang'an City, the old slave also has some thoughts." Wang De agreed.

"After all, I am getting old and I don't want to be separated from my children."

"It's not okay to refuse to accept old age. When you are old, you are old."

"I don't know how long I can live." Li Shimin sighed.
