Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 485 Ask
Li Chengqian finally returned to Chang'an after a long journey.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he summoned Li Ke and others to inquire about the prince's supervision of the country during this period.

I learned how the prince handled government affairs during his supervision of the country, what he did during this period, and listened to Li Ke and others' evaluation of Li Jue's supervision of the country.

Generally speaking, during Li Jue's period of supervising the country, there were some circles. Although he was not a pioneering king, he was qualified as a conservative king.

After Li Jue learned that Li Chengqian had returned, he immediately went to ask for an audience, but was told that Li Chengqian was tired and would not see the crown prince, so Li Jue was sent back to the East Palace.

This made Li Jue wonder if Li Ke and others had said something bad about him in front of Li Chengqian, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The next day, Li Chengqian finished washing and put on his ordinary clothes under the service of the maid.

"Everyone! Breakfast is ready! Do you want to pass it on?" Wang Quan stepped forward and asked.

"What do you have for breakfast?" Li Chengqian asked.

"According to everyone's instructions, I have some light breakfast for breakfast today. The servant ordered Shangshi Bureau to cook some white porridge and prepare a few side dishes." Wang Quan said.

"Then pass on the meal! After I came back last night, I didn't eat much, and now I feel hungry." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order and sent someone to the Shangshi Bureau to deliver the meal to the emperor.

"The prince didn't see me last night, how did he react?" Li Chengqian asked.

"There was a trace of anxiety, and after I really couldn't see everyone in the end, I was more disappointed." Wang Quan said.

Shangshi Bureau delivered the emperor's breakfast.

"Is there anything else besides these?" Li Chengqian asked.

"No! But after the crown prince left, the queen came and asked to meet everyone, but the servants stopped her." Wang Quan said while scooping up porridge for Li Chengqian.

"Hmph! What a child who won't grow up. How old is he now, and what's the matter, he still has to go to his mother and cry."

"The queen is too. She always spoils him like this. How can I hand over Datang to the crown prince with confidence in the future."

"The prince grew up in the palace, he didn't know the sufferings of the people, and he always ran to the queen when things happened. How could he be able to defend the Tang Dynasty in the future."

"It's thanks to Li Ke, Li Jingxuan, Liu Rengui and others who still praised the prince. Does such a prince still need their praise? It's ridiculous!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

He was annoyed that the prince was not up to date, he was a giant baby who hadn't been weaned, and he was annoyed that the queen was too spoiled and had to worry about everything for the prince.

Li Chengqian took the white porridge from Wang Quan, drank a few sips, and became more and more angry as he thought about it.

"It is said that the prince is coming to see me!" Li Chengqian said after breakfast.

"No!" Wang Quan replied, while ordering someone to clean up the table, he also sent someone to the East Palace to ask the prince to come and face the saint.

East Palace.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty has sent someone!" An eunuch ran in and reported to Li Jue.

"Where's the person?" Li Jue asked hastily.

As soon as Li Jue finished speaking, before the eunuch could answer, there was a sound of footsteps, and then an eunuch walked in.

"My maidservant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The visitor saluted Li Jue.

"There is no need to be courteous for the internal officials! The internal officials have come to the widow's East Palace, but what orders does His Majesty have?" Li Jue said.

"Your Majesty summons His Highness to have an audience with him!" said the eunuch.

"Apart from these, what else did Your Majesty say?" Li Jue asked.

"The servants are only here to pass on orders, and they don't know anything else." The eunuch said.

Li Jue winked at the eunuch at the side, and the other party immediately understood, and quietly stuffed some money to the eunuch who came to pass the message.

"If you think about it again, His Majesty really didn't say anything other than summoning the widow?" Li Jue asked again.

"No! Your Majesty is still waiting for the servant to go back! The servant will leave!" said the eunuch, and indeed the emperor did not say anything else.

After tidying up, Li Jue went to the Daming Palace to meet the emperor.

"I pay my respects to my father!" Li Jue saluted Li Chengqian.

"I have already heard that all the ministers praised your performance during the period of my southern tour, saying that you will be an emperor who can defend the country in the future."

"I've seen the government affairs you've dealt with. Although you didn't have any intentions, they were quite satisfactory. There was nothing out of the ordinary. What you did was okay." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian still recognized Li Jue's ability to handle government affairs.

"These are the duties of the ministers, and it is the duty of the ministers to be able to share the worries of the father!" Li Jue said.

"Don't stand and talk, sit down! Go and move a chair for the prince." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Jue thanked him.

"I heard that you plan to withdraw the Heyuan Army and recall Hei Chi Changzhi and others to Chang'an?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Ke and others had already reported to him about Li Jue's desire to abolish the Heyuan Army. Li Chengqian felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that, and felt that Li Jue stretched his hand too far.

I wondered in my heart what Li Jue wanted to do?You must know that Li Tang has a special tradition, and the first emperor set an example for future generations.

Prince Li Jue reached out to the military, and Li Chengqian was the first to say that he didn't have any intentions.

In fact, Li Jue's proposal to abolish the Heyuan Army is nothing. The main thing is that he made his own opinion and wanted not to report to Li Chengqian, who is the emperor.

After asking for advice, I wanted to accomplish this matter while I was supervising the country. Doing so would only get the emperor's suspicion.

If you can abolish the Heyuan army today, you may be able to do something tomorrow. It's no wonder the emperor didn't guess you.

"Yes! My son thinks that the Heyuan army is too bloated, but the commander of the Heyuan army has been away all year round, so it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the tail is too big to lose."

"Once Hei Chi Chang Zhi turns his back on him, he can hold his own and support himself. At that time, he will become a serious problem for Datang."

"This has to be guarded against. My son implores the emperor to issue an edict to abolish the Heyuan army and recall Hei Chi Changzhi to Chang'an for further use." After Li Jue finished speaking, he got up and saluted.

"The Heyuan Army was set up for the safety of the northwest frontier. How can it be dismantled casually? If there is a war in the west, who can resist the invasion of foreigners." Li Chengqian asked.

"Now, Tubo has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun has grown stronger with the strong support of my Tang Dynasty. The Anxi Governor General Anxi Four Towns guards the Western Regions, and Central Asia is even guarded by the Persian Governor's Mansion."

"Now that the Heyuan Army has completed their mission, my son thinks that there is no need to keep the Heyuan Army anymore and should be completely withdrawn."

"Except for those who stayed behind to cultivate the land and cultivate food, the other soldiers should be transferred back to their original places, so as to prevent them from changing." Li Jue said.

In Li Jue's view, now that Tubo has surrendered and the Western Regions are under the control of the Tang Dynasty, the Heyuan Army has lost its role in guarding the frontier. That Xiao Xiao dares to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
