The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"You're almost ready. It's a long way to go to the Western Region, and supplies are scarce there. If you don't bring everything, you won't have anywhere to buy it when you get there."

After his wife went out, Cheng Yaojin's face immediately became serious. In this era, strict fathers and loving mothers are important, especially when facing their own sons. Fathers are all serious in words. Cheng Yaojin is like a Like the God of Death, I was actually a little worried.

If he had been five years younger, Cheng Yaojin would not have worried about his sons, just letting them be beaten hard in the army. How could his sons become talents without being tempered by war?

But as he grew older, Cheng Yaojin gradually understood that he was now old and would rely on these two sons in the future. So when these two sons went to the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin thought of the battlefield again. The cruelty of the Northwest battlefield, the sword has no eyes, these two sons...

"I'm ready to reply to my father. Although Mr. Zhao didn't say it clearly in his letter, there are no generals guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty. This is also a very dangerous thing. So after discussing it with my second brother, we two brothers thought We set off overnight and arrived at the Gaochang border as quickly as possible."

Although Cheng Chumo was speaking to his father, it was as if he were in a military camp. This was also a habit he had developed since he was a child. Cheng Yaojin had regarded these two sons as his generals since he was a child, which also made these two sons Can better integrate into military life.

"There is nothing wrong with your two ideas. The three of us, father and son, have been deeply favored by the emperor. This is why we have the current Duke's Mansion. Everything must be based on the interests of the Tang Dynasty. I have nothing to explain to you. When we get to the battlefield After you get there, fight bravely to kill the enemy. Remember that you are members of my Cheng family, so you cannot embarrass me, Cheng Yaojin."

Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to tell his two sons to pay attention to safety, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them. When he finally said these words, his two sons didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, when they performed some tasks before, The two of them almost memorized these words from their father. It was precisely because of this that the two of them had nothing to be nervous about, but instead had some expectations in their hearts.

Every time he led his troops to the front line, he got some promotions after coming back. Now among the young masters in Chang'an City, the two of them are not ranked too high. They are a bit sorry for Cheng Yaojin's name. Fortunately, they got the opportunity this time. , the two of them planned to seize the time to gain some experience.

"Follow your father's teachings."

The two brothers knelt down in front of Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin also wanted to explain some other things, but he suddenly thought of himself, how could he be such a mother-in-law? When he went to the battlefield, he was not as big as these two guys, and no one had told him similar things. Come here just yet.

"Then let's go and wish my son a safe journey."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and the old butler brought three bowls of wine. This was not the first time for the three men to drink. They drank the bowls in one gulp. The two brothers raised their hands to Cheng Yaojin and turned around to prepare. let's go.

Regarding the fact that the two brothers set off overnight, when the generals in Chang'an City learned about it, they all said that Cheng Yaojin's two sons were great people, including Li Shimin, and they all praised them.

The imperial court also issued an imperial edict the next day, handing over all matters in the northwest to Li Xiang. The imperial edict did not say anything else, but only asked Li Xiang to handle it as appropriate.

After hearing this imperial edict, the ministers all frowned. This is tantamount to decentralizing power, but it may not be a good thing for Li Xiang. If it is handled well, the emperor is brave and dares to use you.

If you don't handle it well, then you have betrayed the emperor's trust. How could you handle the matter like this? It is normal for you to be charged with negligence when the time comes.

But this is all the emperor's operation. The ministers have no opinions other than kneeling down and shouting long live the mountain. What's more, the imperial edict has been written out. This represents the emperor's strongest will. If you have any opinions, you Aren't you looking for excitement for yourself and the Qian family?

Before leaving the court, Li Shimin glanced at him and saw that King Wu Li Ke had indeed come to court, but because he had knelt in the Ancestral Temple all night, he was not very energetic.

After arriving at the study, most of the people went out. The prime minister and Changsun Wuji stayed here, and the other one was Cui Daozhi, the Minister of Rites.

He came here because of important matters. The Nanzhao Kingdom sent an envoy, hoping to marry the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he did not come here to ask for a princess. He already knew the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. The three princesses in his country had just come of age. , hoping to choose a prince or grandson to get married.

The Minister of Rites came here to stop. The relationship between Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty has always been very good. The border between the two countries is almost the same as undefended, and they send tributes every year. This is different from other countries in the Western Regions. Tributes are still valuable.

"It just so happens that you two are here, and you both want to share your opinions."

Li Shimin took stock of his sons and grandsons, and found that there were indeed quite a few adults. Who should he let marry this daughter-in-law?

"When I return to the emperor, although there are many princes and grandsons of the right age, they have all married their first wives. Although Nanzhao is a small country, it has a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. If I don't make him my first wife, it will be both emotional and reasonable. It doesn’t make sense.”

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling had the right to speak in all matters. He thought carefully about Li Shimin's sons and grandsons. There were indeed many people at this age, but because Li Shimin wanted to spread his wings, The reason is that young people already have wives.

What Fang Xuanling said makes sense. She is also a princess of the same country. If you marry her as a concubine, that would be a bit too much. In that case, the two families will not be married, but will become enemies.

"Then can we find a clan boy of the right age..."

Changsun Wuji thought of Tang Gaozu's son. Since his abdication, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan has not been idle. He has been sowing seeds in the harem. There are many of these sons, and many of them have not been clarified. Speaking of this He is Li Shimin's half-brother, and a marriage between the two countries that should also be crowned a prince in the Tang Dynasty can be justified.

"inappropriate."

After Changsun Wuji's words came out, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling jointly denied it. After all, those people were on the same level. It was already a great honor to give them a short-term prince, and let them represent the Tang Dynasty in marriage?
