Chapter 474: Mowgli, what do you think?
The classic sentence "The house leak is even rainy, and the boat encounters the head wind" is very suitable for Li Jiancheng's mood at this time, and the original bright mood, because a bunch of broken things in Nanyang are shrouded in a thick haze.
Li Xiaogong and eldest grandson Wuji, who were sitting under him, were also worried, no need to guess, the two also knew what the 80,000 army under Li Shentong had become; Even Li Yuanji was amazed and speechless, the fact that Li Shentong made money made me sigh as a model of my generation, and there was an impulse to go to Nanyang to worship the example and ask for experience from the role model.
"I don't believe that Uncle Huai'an did such a heartbreaking thing." After being silent for a long time, Li Jiancheng sighed.
Li Xiaogong and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and they both saw that each other's brows were slightly furrowed, and the meaning conveyed from their eyes was also surprisingly the same: Now that things have happened, is there still any point in pursuing these entanglements?
Li Jiancheng is an almost perfect heir to the throne in everyone's minds, his biggest problem is that he has the feelings of a literati, and is easy to be sentimental for the tragic things that happen to those close to him, to put it bluntly, he is indecisive, has the kindness of a woman, and lacks the decisive imperial temperament of the Congo, if he has Li Shimin's courage and cunning, the identity of the crown prince alone can win him over most of the military forces, and Li Shimin cannot shake his crown prince position at all. After all, the military generals are not all stunned, and the dignified future emperor ignores the wooing and goes with a prince? But Li Jiancheng has never tried to win over, and even refuses to take the initiative of others to get closer. This made Li Xiaogong and the eldest grandson Wuji very helpless. Of course, Li Jiancheng's personality can make the courtiers rest assured to follow, and they don't have to worry about being caught by him. The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks'
"I agree with His Royal Highness's point of view, the scandal of the 'wooden weapon' is not too sooner or later, but it broke out at this time, this is really too much of a coincidence, this is very likely to be the Sui army's meticulous actions, and even this scandal was made up by them, I have to say, this trick is too ruthless, this is completely aimed at the weakness of the character of the King of Huai'an, after all, the King of Huai'an is really famous in the 'greed', after this biography, the fake can also become true." After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is a resourceful person, and combined with the current battle situation, he suddenly woke up.
"Your Highness, is Uncle Huai'an so, is it so...... None of it matters! This is not a problem that His Royal Highness has to consider now, it is imperative to replace someone to take over the Nanyang army, appease the army, and restore the order of the army. "Li Xiaogong actually doesn't believe that Li Shentong can do this kind of thing that harms the country and is not beneficial to himself, the problem is that Li Shentong's greed is well-known in the Li Tang Dynasty, he Li Xiaogong can not believe it, it does not mean that the court does not believe it, it does not mean that the soldiers in the army do not believe it, if the 'wooden weapon' incident is not handled in a timely manner and is not handled properly, it will lead to the mutiny of the entire army and collapse without a fight.
"Yes, now only the Holy Lord or His Royal Highness can calm the morale of the army and ......boost morale in the shortest possible time," the eldest grandson Wuji said this, and said what he meant: "Nanyang is very likely to become a battlefield, it is too dangerous, the safety of the saint is related to the rise and fall of the country, and it is really not appropriate to show up. ”
Li Jiancheng knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was right, but the problem was that as the second marshal of the Western Route Army, he had no right to interfere with the Nanyang Army, and the strategic adjustment of the commander must be reported to the imperial court, and with the approval of the emperor and the holy decree, Li Shentong could be relieved of his position as the chief general, and Li Shentong was a relative of the Li family, and Zongzheng Temple had to investigate his corruption case.
Looking at Li Jiancheng's somewhat pale face, Li Xiaogong smiled helplessly and explained on his behalf: "I appreciate Wuji's suggestion, don't you know how I was wiped out?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also understood, and said in a deep voice: "The three highnesses, it's nothing more than a matter of authority, Your Highness doesn't need to think about this, as long as you stabilize the morale of the army, defeat the Sui army, and Nanyang still belongs to the Tang Dynasty, you can slowly explain to the saint." ”
"Mowgli, not only that, to make such a major strategic adjustment, not only must this side report to the saint, but also someone from the Nanyang army must report to the saint, both sides have been approved, and it is His Royal Highness's duty to cooperate with the King of Jin to fight, so the King of Jin must also report, and the three parties have to report, all of which have been approved, and His Royal Highness can go to Nanyang, otherwise, it will not be useful for the prince to go." This set of processes that the generals hated deeply, Li Xiaogong remembered it deeply, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"But this will definitely delay the fighter plane, and it will miss the big thing... The consequences are unimaginable, Your Highness..."Eldest Sun Wuji became a little anxious.
"Huh!" I don't know what kind of thinking it is, Li Xiaogong actually smiled.
Li Jiancheng finally really felt the evil consequences and bitter fruits of "'imperial court' interference in the military", and also tasted the helplessness and mixed feelings of the generals, I have to say that this taste is very uncomfortable, which also strengthened his idea of breaking this bad habit, he helplessly glanced at Li Xiaogong, who was 'gloating', and said with a wry smile: "Xiaogong also said, without the holy order, it is useless for me to go!" Please understand my distress. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in despair, "Your Highness, my Datang is a nascent dynasty, and it should be vibrant, but it's only been a few years?" It has become bloated, old, rigid, and stale...... Your Highness, I dare to promise: if you don't seek change, this is the only one...... With this set of old rules, we can't compete with the Sui Dynasty for the world. ”
After all, he was still young, and the eldest grandson Wuji had not yet become a sperm, so after being reprimanded in great frustration, he sat aside and was silent.
Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaogong also felt that their hearts were heavy, even a wise man like Changsun Wuji was not optimistic about Li Tang's prospects, how should this battle be fought?
"Big brother!" At this time, Li Yuanji, who was bored and dry, stood up and said with a smile: "If you let me go, I will definitely be able to do it." ”
"You?" Li Jiancheng's face was full of suspicion, and the expressions of Li Xiaogong and eldest grandson Wuji were synchronized.
"Don't look down on people." Li Yuanji pursed his lips and said with a big grin: "Everyone knows that the eldest brother is a good man, and when the eldest brother can't come up with the holy order, the general of the Nanyang Army knows that he doesn't obey the prince's order, and he won't be settled by the autumn queen!" But I'm different, I'm a well-known bad guy... Who isn't afraid? Who would dare not obey orders? … They didn't dare to offend me, and my father held me accountable, and they were able to push the blame on me, and they didn't have to bear any responsibility at all. ”
"This ......"
Li Yuanji's remarks really moved Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong, and Eldest Sun Wuji, and all three of them were almost jumped up by Li Yuanji's words, I have to say that what Li Yuanji said is really like that.
"If my father blames my eldest brother, it's a big deal to say that I ran away secretly. Anyway, this is not the first time, my father is used to it. ”
"......" Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong, and the eldest grandson Wuji had a ghost-like expression, well, in fact, Li Yuanji does look like the legendary - evil ghosts and fierce spirits.
Being stared at like this by three big men, Li Yuanji, who looked like a ghost, was also a little furious, and said angrily: "Okay, okay? In a word, give a quasi-letter. ”
Li Jiancheng did not reply to Li Yuanji, and after thinking for a while, he asked Li Xiaogong and the eldest grandson Wuji: "Xiaogong, Wuji, what do you say?" ”
"Your Highness, I think King Qi can." Li Xiaogong also felt that there was no way to do it, how to say, Li Yuanji had also led soldiers for a few years, and trained the 30,000 new army in a good manner, within the time when Li Jiancheng reported to Xiangyang and Li Yuan for approval, the scene should be suppressed, as long as this precious time is spent safely, everything is still in time.
"Haha, it's still Brother Xiaogong who has vision." Li Yuanjile is broken.
"Mowgli, what do you think?" Li Jiancheng asked again.
"It's worth a try." Although the eldest grandson Wuji also expressed his position, his eyes were full of worry, he knew too well what kind of goods Li Yuanji was, although he had a good personal relationship with him, but he also saw his essence clearly.
When Li Yuanji was just born, his biological mother, Queen Dou, only glanced at it, and without saying a word, she let people lose this son, saying that her son was not ugly to her mother, and in turn, her mother had no reason to dislike her own flesh and blood, but Li Yuanji was so ugly that she couldn't even bear her biological mother, and it was even more difficult for others to imagine when she saw it.
Li Yuanji lives in an environment of strange eyes and pointing, and his situation and mood can be imagined, and it is reasonable to become withdrawn. Of course, it's not his fault that he looks ugly, the fault is that 'ugly people make more mistakes', when he understands that he is beautiful and ugly, in order to attract people's attention, he specializes in doing bad things, and over time, he becomes quite cruel, he doesn't listen to people's advice, he likes to do things on his own, but since he experienced the 'Yang Dong fire burning Daxing Palace' incident, Li Yuanji, who was once demoted to a commoner, has also become low-key, and learned to be silent and obscure.
This does not mean that Li Yuanji has become rational and mature, on the contrary, he has become more ruthless and brutal, and his violent methods have become more subtle. When he can no longer vent his inner anxiety and cruelty in a simple and crude way like before, he will show it from the other side. The most typical example is that he will try his best to toss the 30,000 new troops under his command to death on the grounds of training a strong army, because the soldiers are afraid of him, they will naturally train desperately in accordance with Li Yuanji's way, and as a result, bad things become good things, the new army has been reborn, and it has unexpectedly become a rare elite unit in the Tang army, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it has been unanimously praised by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and the father and son agree that Li Yuanji has finally grown up and understood, and they are deeply gratified.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, as the emperor and the crown prince, have a lot of opportunities every day, and they have not seen the process of Li Yuanji's military training at all, except for the acceptance results, they have never been to the New Army barracks at all, so naturally they don't know how Li Yuanji trained the troops, and they don't know that there are a lot of white bones under the New Army barracks, and there are definitely two or three thousand corpses. And these are all soldiers who are not qualified in training and are hunted by Li Yuanji one by one for fun.
Others wanted to see how Li Yuanji trained the troops, but Li Yuanji refused to go out on the grounds that 'the military camp is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to approach'. Because of his gratitude to Li Yuanji, the eldest grandson Wuji intercepted Liu Hongji, who was ordered to assassinate the eldest grandson, in the middle of the way, and became very good friends with Li Yuanji, who more or less knew the inside story of the new army's toughness.
Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji did not tell Li Jiancheng the truth, and it was not cost-effective to offend Li Yuanji, a fierce god, for someone who had nothing to do with it.
Now supports Li Yuanji, who has not changed his temperament, to go to Nanyang, and the eldest grandson Wuji does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse, right or wrong, and his heart is also worried.
