Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 309
He set off in the winter of the eighth year of Zhenguan, and it was already the winter of the ninth year of Zhenguan when he came back.

This expedition brought Li Chengqian a very big change.

The 17-year-old has inherited Li Shimin's handsome appearance.

Originally relatively weak, after a year of nurturing in the military camp, the whole person's temperament has changed a lot.

Although his riding and archery skills are not very good, his riding skills are definitely passable.

Even if he is the prince, he rides with everyone on horseback when marching.

After such a year of tossing, even a rookie can become a master.

"Master, when I return to Chang'an City this time, my father will definitely reward me very generously. How do you think I should choose better?"

On the way from Luoyang to Chang'an City, Li Chengqian couldn't help asking.

"Although Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly ten years now, he is still in his prime, and you, the prince, are still just a prince for the time being.

Instead of facing a group of ministers in the court every day without any decision-making power in his hands, it would be better to go to the academy and be a dean like a teacher. "

Qin Xiedao actually chose to accept Li Chengqian as his apprentice, so he naturally wanted to re-plan his life course for him.

Otherwise, when Li Chengqian falls from power, he will definitely not end well.

"Being the dean? Master, no, there is a lot of professional knowledge involved in the Red Star Academy. I don't understand it at all. There is no way to be the dean."

Li Chengqian thought that Qin Xiedao was going to give him his position as dean, so he immediately refused.

"Who told you to come to Red Star Academy to be the dean? I'm talking about Datang Military Academy. Although the scale of this academy cannot be compared with Red Star Academy, its nature is different.

In the future, most of the generals in the Datang Army will come from the Datang Military Academy. Whoever serves as the dean of the academy is equivalent to the teacher of these generals, and the influence in the future will be huge.

Before everyone realizes this, you should occupy this position first, and the harvest will definitely be huge. "

Qin Xiedao's proposal was beyond Li Chengqian's expectation.

To be honest, he really never thought about becoming the dean of an academy before.

However, Qin Xiedao's explanation made sense to him.

Although the status of the academy is not particularly high in Datang, its influence has already begun to show.

As the prince of the dynasty, he used to be the dean, which not only expressed the importance he attached to the academy, but also held the position that would influence the army in the future.

Regardless of the dynasty, the importance of the army is beyond doubt.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as political power coming out of the barrel of a gun.

"Master, you mean to let me stay in the military academy for a few years, and then return to the court when I find the right time?"

"That's right! Work in the academy for a few years, then start to hold some positions in the court, and then slowly shift the focus to the court.

At that time, no matter what the situation is, you will be able to respond to all changes with the same.

One of our masters and apprentices has mastered the Red Star Academy, and the other has mastered the Datang Military Academy. We have mastered more than half of the future development of Datang. "

In front of Li Chengqian, Qin Xiedao never concealed his intention to guide Datang towards the direction he planned.

Since the communication with each other was very frank, it did not cause any misunderstandings by Li Chengqian.

"Okay, I will listen to you, Master, and work hard in the military academy for a few years, but during this time, I still want to continue studying with you in the Red Star Academy."

"There will be no conflict with this!"

……

The Spring Festival of the tenth year of Zhenguan was once again spent in joy.

The news of Li Chengqian's triumphant return made the entire Chang'an City people know that the once mighty Goguryeo Kingdom has now been wiped out.

And Datang only dispatched the Suzaku army and navy.

At the same time, the bumper harvest of potatoes and cotton has given the people many choices in their lives.

In the west market, many cotton cloth shops have begun to appear.

The honorable families in Chang'an City also bought land in northern Xinjiang to grow cotton and potatoes.

"Guanyin maidservant, after the railway from Chang'an City to Luoyang and Liangzhou is completed, I will take you to take a good look at the mountains and rivers of Datang.

Now everything is going well in the court, and I don't have to stay in Chang'an City every day. "

In the midst of harmony, the atmosphere in Datang Palace was a little bit depressed.

Empress Changsun's health has obviously deteriorated in the past two years.

Especially after giving birth to another child last year, my physical fitness declined very quickly.

"Your Majesty, it is hard-won for the Tang Dynasty to have the glory it has today. Now everything is finally on the right track, and you must not let your life be full of twists and turns because of your concubines."

Although Changsun Wuji's reputation is not very good, few people say that Empress Changsun is not good.

Objectively speaking, as a queen, her performance is very good.

Historically, the reason why Li Shimin became more stupid in his later years must have a lot to do with the death of Empress Changsun.

Even Li Shimin's short life may be related to the earlier death of Empress Changsun.

It can also be seen that Li Shimin is really satisfied with this queen because he was able to not re-establish the queen after the death of the eldest grandson for more than ten years.

"Gao Ming has grown up now, and after going out for a year, his temperament has become much calmer when he comes back.

What shocked me the most was that he was not proud and complacent because of his triumphant return. Instead, he proposed to me to go to Datang Military Academy to train more military talents for Datang and promote the training of professional soldiers in Datang.

This choice really surprised me, but it felt very appropriate. "

Although Li Shimin couldn't see the problem as thoroughly as Qin Xiedao did.

But he can still feel the influence of Datang Military Academy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have held the position of dean of the military academy himself.

"Gao Ming, as the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, is now highly praised by both civil and military courts.

To be able to achieve today's achievements, Qin Dalang's contribution is very huge.

I heard that the eldest lady of the Yang family has a soft spot for him.It seems that Xie Dao has no intention of refusing.

Both of them are not young, or His Majesty might just give them marriages, which can be regarded as fulfilling them and showing them kindness. "

Although Empress Changsun seldom goes out of the palace, she still has a good understanding of the affairs among the nobles in Chang'an City.

"That's a good idea. It just so happens that I also feel that the reward for Xie Dao is a bit harsh this time. It is also very good to use this method to make up for it."

Li Shimin realized the benefits after thinking about it for a while, and naturally agreed immediately.
