The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Hearing Li Xiang's name, Li Shimin's expression became even worse. In the past, when he was angry, Li Xiang would call him grandpa to make him happy and bring the two parties closer. Distance, but what is going on today?

Changsun Wuji's face didn't look very good either. This could be regarded as Li Xiang's provocation to the emperor.

Fang Xuanling still had the same expression on his face. He had managed to keep his expression unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. But what he was thinking in his heart was probably only known to him. What happened to His Highness the Grand Sun?

As for Wang De, the great eunuch beside the emperor, he was sweating nervously now. Among all the people, his palace was the shallowest, so when he heard Li Xiang's name, he naturally felt that Li Xiang Is it because of Xiang's threat that he wants to have a showdown with the emperor?

In the minds of contemporary people, Li Shimin made a bad start by disrespecting his father, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. During the Xuanwumen Incident, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was still able to continue to be in power, although he did not do much. Good, but not bad.

Li Shimin has always wanted to reverse this situation and has been instilling the idea of ​​filial piety between father and son in the people below, but unfortunately he has not been very successful.

As the saying goes, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. How did you get your throne? I'm afraid you know better than others. You yourself are not very filial to your father. How can you ask others?" So when Li Xiang said this, Wang De logically thought that Li Xiang was going to have a showdown.

"Get up, I haven't been back to Chang'an for more than two years, but do you feel that Chang'an has changed?"

Li Shimin quickly realized that although he was unhappy, he could not let Li Xiang continue to kneel. This time, Li Xiang solved two big troubles. First, he defeated Goguryeo, which was troubling Li Shimin. Inner demons.

The second was to resolve the Turkic rebellion in the north. If Li Xiang had not been able to get there at that time, the rebels would most likely have driven south. The Tang army was indeed very strong, but no matter how strong you were, if you could not stop them, , the people in the north will be in disaster.

Not only the common people were confused about this, but even the ministers in the DPRK were complaining. When Li Shimin insisted on letting King Wu go to war, many people were dissatisfied. Obviously there is His Highness Taisun who is better at fighting. You have to let someone who is not The king of Wu, who had fought in the war, led the troops.

If you win, everyone will be speechless. You will have to say that you know people well and have found a famous general for the court.

But now you have lost. Not only did you suffer heavy casualties, but the entire army was almost destroyed. If it had not been for Li Xiang to turn the tide, the imperial court would have suffered greater losses in the north. Even if Li Xiang saved this team, everything in Chang'an City was listed that day. Do you think everyone will forget about the scene after sleeping?

The more successful Li Xiang was in the north, the more Li Shimin failed. Naturally, the King of Wu had to bear the responsibility this time, so he became a marginalized prince in the court. Apart from an empty name, he had no strength in his hands. Concubine Yang was marginalized.

But besides King Wu, shouldn't anyone else be responsible for this?

Chang'an City has never lacked careful people. These careful people reviewed King Wu's troop dispatches, and they found that apart from King Wu's trick, Li Shimin was another person who made a big mistake.

In addition to the mistake in selecting people, Li Shimin kept urging the King of Wu to send troops in order to make a time difference. He hoped that the King of Wu would already send troops with his men before the news reached Liaodong.

You must know that this is a war between two countries, and it is by no means a child's play. All preparations must be in place. Before a large amount of preparations were completed, Li Shimin had already asked the King of Wu to send troops. At the beginning I can still win with enthusiasm, but if there is a slight deviation later, you will know what it feels like to lose miserably.

King Wu's failure had his own reasons, but Li Shimin also had to bear certain responsibilities. Although this matter was not stated explicitly, no one was a fool. Everyone could see the problem. King Wu also shouldered the responsibility for Li Shimin. Pot.

On the other hand, Li Xiang, even if they sent aid to the north, they had already accomplished everything around Goguryeo. In addition to conquering several countries on the peninsula, Li Xiang also trained the Dengzhou navy. Out.

This did not cost a penny, and was all captured on the battlefield. It did not bring any burden to the people. Instead, it transported goods from the south to the north, and it was by sea.

The most important thing in the Tang Dynasty was water transportation. Every year, it spent a lot of money to repair the Grand Canal and keep the north-south waterways smooth. However, with the advent of sea transportation, the cost has dropped a lot, but there is no need to spend this money. With the interaction of sea transportation and inland waterway shipping, Nowadays, there are more economic exchanges between the North and the South than before. These are benefits that can be seen with our own eyes.

The most important thing is that a large amount of grain and other goods were transported to Datang by sea, which caused further reduction in prices in Datang. This made many people who had no food to eat very grateful. If it were not for His Highness Taisun's overseas layout, we would How is it possible that there is so much food every year? The most important thing is that these grains are so cheap.

"When I return to the Emperor, Chang'an City remains as beautiful as ever. This is all the Emperor's credit."

Li Xiang answered honestly, if you ask me, I will say, anyway, we can't run away with what belongs to us, and we don't have to fight for what doesn't belong to us.

Listening to Li Xiang's strong words, everyone can hear the dissatisfaction in his words. Of course, this is normal. Li Xiang is leading the people to fight on the front line, and you are just stumbling for us from behind. Fortunately, we have the ability. It's relatively strong, otherwise, depending on your ability to find trouble, it's possible for the frontline to suffer a disastrous defeat.

"Your contribution is not small, but I have no reward now. What do you think we should do?"

Li Shimin sneered and said, after all, Li Xiang is also a hero who came back from the front line, and he is the biggest hero. This attitude is really chilling.

But Li Shimin also told the truth. Li Xiang is now the emperor's grandson. If he wants to reward him, he can only give some yellow and white things. But Li Xiang's family has more money than the national treasury. People can see the things you give. Can you get on?

"The humble minister is fighting outside, and what he wants is for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, so he has nothing to ask for."

Li Xiang was pushed back by a tough guy again. If you pull him down without giving him a reward, let's see what the people in the world will say. Are they talking about me or you?
