If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 68 The eye drops are a bit heavy this time
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is really too absurd!"

Zhang Sun Wuji stood in the imperial study and said to Li Shimin with a worried look on his face:
"He recruited soldiers and selected generals from the people with great fanfare to establish the Cavalry Guard, and offered a monthly salary of thirty taels of silver, which was twice as high as the salary of the six officers and twelve guards of the Eastern Palace!"

"And it is said that the selection criteria are very strict. Not only do they need to be skilled in archery and horse riding, but they also need to be able to carry a load of 60 kilograms and return four miles away within half an hour!"

"There are also things like climbing high cliffs with bare hands, wading and swimming, etc."

Chang Sun Wuji shook his head as he spoke:
"Although there were tens of thousands of people who signed up to join the army, he only selected a hundred people! From the way I see him selecting soldiers, it seems that he is not asking them to fight, but rather selecting assassins..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and looked up at Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin was famous for his heroic deeds throughout his life, so how could he not hear the hidden meaning in Zhangsun Wuji's words.

Since the Sixth Prince offered such a high salary and attracted tens of thousands of people to sign up, he should use it to build a large army!

But he only selected one hundred people, and selected them based on such harsh conditions. It didn't seem like he was selecting soldiers, but rather like he was selecting assassins.

Could it be that he has some evil intentions?
"What do you want to say?"

Changsun Wuji sighed:

"Your Majesty, we must be on guard against the example of Crown Prince Cheng Qian!"

Crown Prince Cheng Qian felt that his position as heir to the throne was in jeopardy, and actually wanted to follow the example of his father and stage a Xuanwu Gate Incident to kill his own father and take the throne.

When Changsun Wuji said this, his purpose was very clear.

He was referring to the fact that Li An was selecting assassins to assassinate the emperor!

Seeing that Li Shimin did not speak, Changsun Wuji said:

"Not only that, he also selected soldiers from the six commanders and twelve guards of the Eastern Palace, and in the end he only got 200 elite soldiers!"

"Together with the two hundred soldiers he brought from Lingnan, there are five hundred people in total. But these five hundred people have all disappeared in the past few days. It is said that they were taken into the Qinling Mountains by Feng Lang, a subordinate of the Sixth Prince!"

"What are these five hundred soldiers going to Qinling for? What exactly does the Sixth Prince want to do? Your Majesty... you have to investigate!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin could no longer remain calm.

Although he believed that Li An was a bit absurd and behaved quite eccentrically, he should not have the intention of assassinating him.

but,

The previous example of Crown Prince Chengqian was not far away, which made Li Shimin feel a little confused.

Over the years, a lot of things have happened in the Tang Dynasty for the throne!
Of course, the initiator was the Khan of Heaven, Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin believed that he was forced to do so, if he did not do so, Jiancheng and Yuanji would have killed him and killed all the old ministers who had followed him to conquer the world.

However, who says that Prince Cheng Qian doesn’t think so?
What is Li An thinking about?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face gradually became gloomy.

Changsun Wuji successfully applied the eye drops, and when he saw Li Shimin's somewhat gloomy face, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

It seems that I did the right thing by bringing Li An back to Chang'an and asking the emperor to send him to fight the Turks!

Before the expedition even started, he had already caught us with something and successfully tricked us!
Even if Li An can get through this hurdle, he will still be in trouble when he returns to the battlefield!

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Changsun Wuji immediately took the opportunity to leave and leave the stage to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sat there and pondered for a while, then waved his hand to Zhang Ananda:

"Call that rebellious son over here. I want to ask him what he wants to do!"

……

Li An was in a good mood today. He rode his horse and whistled all the way.

The tune he played was exactly his favorite Gray Track.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he was just playing the solo part. Hearing the melodious whistle coming from outside the door, Li Shimin's frown gradually relaxed.

This song...

It sounds really beautiful!

Could a child who could play such a beautiful tune be someone who has evil intentions towards his father?
While he was thinking, Li An had already walked into the imperial study.

Looking at Li An with a bright smile on his face, Li Shimin suddenly felt relieved.

Yes!

How could such a sunny-looking boy be Cheng Qian, who is always thinking about the position of crown prince and is even willing to fight to the death with his father!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and his expression became less gloomy.

However, no matter how relaxed you are, you still have to ask the questions that need to be asked.

Otherwise, I will always feel a little uneasy!
"An'er, I heard that you were recruiting soldiers from all over the country, and there were tens of thousands of applicants, but you only selected 100?"

As soon as Li An entered the room and saw Li Shimin frowning, he knew that someone was trying to deceive his father.

However, he was not afraid.

Anyway, if you are crooked, you don't have to worry about your shadow being straight...

"Father, the three armies you designated are more than enough, so I don't need that many people!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly:
"Since you know that the three armies are already enough, why do you still need to recruit soldiers?"

Li An smiled slightly:
"Father, these three armies are enough, but I still need an elite force in case of emergency!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression gradually calmed down:

"Five hundred people, are they enough to conquer the Turks?"

In fact, what he wanted to say was that these 500 people might not be enough to conquer the Turks, but they were enough to plan a Xuanwu Gate Incident!

When Li An heard what Li Shimin said, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, he understood.

This time, some people were a bit too harsh on Li Shimin!

It was so serious that even Tian Khan had some doubts!
In addition, five hundred elite soldiers were taken to Qinling Mountains by Feng Lang for secret training, and no one knew what they did.

No wonder Li Shimin was so worried!

This cheap father of his came to power through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and also experienced his own son, Crown Prince Chengqian's attempt at rebellion, so it's inevitable that he's afraid that others will follow his example.

So, I was called here today specifically to be held accountable!
If you handle it inappropriately, you will probably be in big trouble!
Even if he is not banished to the barren land of Qianzhong like Crown Prince Chengqian, he may be directly left aside, away from the core of the Tang Dynasty, and never be able to make a comeback!

It’s dangerous!

Accompanying you is really like accompanying a tiger!

After thinking this through, Li An was silent for a moment, then he came up with an idea of ​​how to deal with it.

He smiled slightly, took out something that looked a little strange from his arms, and placed it in front of Li Shimin respectfully:

"Father, this is something I have recently researched. It is called a musket!"

"Musket?"

Li Shimin saw the gun on the table, which was only about one foot long, had a short handle and two black barrels, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

This thing is also called a gun?

but……

Why is there no gun head?

Can you hurt someone without a gun?
