Chapter 64 The Prince's Passionate Performance
Li Shimin then realized that what was happening on stage was just a play, so he could only smile awkwardly and said:
"I was so angry watching this that I lost my composure for a moment, ahahaha..."

After saying that, he sat down again.

Soon, the scene came to the point where Xier was taken home by Huang Siren, who eventually abandoned her and fled to the mountains, living a life like a savage.

Li Shimin and others were filled with anger at one moment, then frowned with sadness at another, and their emotions kept fluctuating with the performance of the drama.

At last, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty finally appeared on the stage.

However, this time Li An played himself.

He was wearing armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a horse whip in his hand, but he looked heroic, handsome and brave.

Sure enough, his appearance drew cheers.

"The Sixth Prince is so handsome!"

"Sure enough, he is extraordinary, handsome and majestic!"

"I didn't expect that it would be played by the Sixth Prince himself. Interesting!"

"Among His Majesty's princes, the Sixth Prince is indeed the most outstanding!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little proud, and his face was full of smiles as he twirled his beard.

Although Changsun Wuji remained calm, his heart sank again.

The Sixth Prince.

What a lot of clever ideas!
He actually thought of such a play, performing his deeds of exterminating the Baiyue barbarians in Lingnan.

But it adds a lot of points to myself!

The Ninth Prince was outshined by him again!

It seems that I still need to think of a way as soon as possible to let him fight the Turks as soon as possible, and then...

On the stage, the scene soon came where Li An led the Tang Dynasty soldiers to suppress Huang Siren and rescue Xier.

The people of the Tang Dynasty knelt down and sang:
"The military might of the Tang Dynasty is unrivaled, and its reputation spreads across 90,000 miles!"

"The prince personally led an expedition to pacify the Baiyue people. The people of Lingnan will remember this in their hearts!"

The last paragraph was added by Li An on the spur of the moment.

This is a direct flattery to his father!

It's nothing for a son to flatter his father.
The key is to make the flatterer feel comfortable and make Li Shimin happy!

Sure enough, seeing this, Li Shimin grinned happily, clapping his hands and laughing:
"This play, "The Story of Redressing Injustices in the Tang Dynasty," is great!"

"It not only depicts the evil deeds of the Baiyue chieftains who bullied the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also depicts the miserable situation of the people of the Tang Dynasty when they faced oppression. The most important thing is that it allows everyone to see that the military might of the Tang Dynasty is invincible. In the end, the result of punishing evil and promoting good is also perfect!"

"An'er, you acted well, and the play was well written!"

"I defeated DTZ and brought the Turkic Khan to Chang'an, and made him dance for me."

"Now you have brought these Baiyue barbarians to Chang'an and written such a drama to show the power of the Tang Dynasty. You have done a great job!"

Li An smiled modestly:
"I am just learning from my father, and I am drawing inferences from one example!"

On the side, Wei Zheng said with a smile:

"I want to tell you that the Sixth Prince has surpassed his teacher. If such a play like 'The Story of Redressing Wrongs in the Tang Dynasty' were performed, it would make the people of the Tang Dynasty happier than the Turkic Khan dancing!"

Li Shimin nodded:
"That's right, An'er. Later, we can have this troupe perform in various places in Chang'an, so that the people of Chang'an can see the might of the Tang Dynasty's army and your achievements!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

If they really did as Li Shimin said and let this troupe perform everywhere, wouldn't the Sixth Prince's achievements in pacifying Lingnan and exterminating the Baiyue be known to everyone!

By then, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty will know the Sixth Prince!
But who knows the ninth prince Li Zhi?
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince's play is adapted from his conquest of the Baiyue barbarians. It can be seen that his military tactics and martial arts are outstanding!" "It is spring now. The Turks suffered a natural disaster last winter. Many livestock were frozen to death, and the herdsmen had no food or clothing."

"Now that spring has arrived, they should gather together to invade the border again. We should also prepare to conquer the Turks!"

After listening to this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said:

"An'er, there are many voices in the court asking you to lead the army to attack the Turks. I originally thought that since you just returned to Chang'an, you should not send troops on a long expedition."

"However, the assistant is right. As the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The Turks suffered a snowstorm in winter. Those herdsmen have no food or clothing and have to go out to forage for grass and grain. Border troubles have also been emerging one after another recently!"

"As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is time for you to serve the country. When I was your age, I led troops to conquer the east and the west and fought many tough battles!"

"Today, are you willing to join the army for the Tang Dynasty and lead the troops to conquer the Turks?"

Li An smiled slightly and bowed before Li Shimin:
"I am willing to lead the Tang army to conquer the Turks and quell the border troubles!"

……

After Changsun Wuji left Hua'e Xianghui Tower, he turned around and came to the Ten Kings' Residence.

at this time,

In the Ten Kings' Residence, Li Zhi was sitting in the palace reading a book diligently.

Although the house arrest order has expired, Changsun Wuji advised him to be honest and not make any unusual moves at this time.

Therefore, these days, apart from paying respects to the emperor at the palace, he stayed in the prince's bedroom and read books.

Although he found it difficult to read the book, he had to pretend to be studying hard.

After all, he also knew that his father was watching a play in Hua'e Xianghui Tower tonight.

It seems that Li An has come up with another way to please his father!
What the hell is going on in this kid's head?

How could you come up with so many clever ideas?

At this time, Changsun Wuji arrived at his bedroom.

When Li Zhi saw his uncle coming, he was immediately filled with joy:

"uncle!"

Chang Sun Wuji nodded and said with a smile:

"It's done!"

Li Zhi was slightly startled:
"What's done?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said:

"Of course, the plan of letting the Sixth Prince fight the Turks has been approved!"

When Li Zhi heard this, his brows furrowed.

"This matter has been accomplished. Why is uncle so happy?"

"If the emperor lets him fight the Turks, he will definitely send many elite soldiers and generals to assist him. Moreover, he has experience fighting in Lingnan. If he defeats the Turks in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be another great achievement?"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but shook his head:
"Your Highness, you only know one side of the story!"

"Do you think the Turks' fighting power is comparable to those Lingnan barbarians? They are skilled in riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, and are very good at guerrilla warfare!"

"It has always been difficult for the Tang Dynasty to win against the Turks because these barbarians often come very quickly, and once they find they are no match for them, they quickly retreat and escape into the vast grasslands. It is very difficult to chase and catch them!"

"Those barbarians in the poor mountains and bad waters of Lingnan are just relying on the advantages of the terrain. In fact, they can't even put together a set of armor. When the Sixth Prince sees the Turks, he will know what real fighting is like!"

At this point, Changsun Wuji smiled mysteriously:
"What's more, I have other backup plans waiting for this Sixth Prince. If he can still win the battle, it would be a miracle!"
