Chapter 437: The Chen Family Has a Queen

Li Shimin can feel the resentment of these ordinary people against the clan.

Li Shimin even suddenly realized that the resentment of the people of the world towards the emperor came from the family to a certain extent.

In the eyes of the common people, they could not distinguish the dirt between the emperor and the clan, after all, the clan was blessed with high-ranking officials, owned land and countless slaves and maids, which in the eyes of many people, was ...... It means that the emperor and the world are one, and the anti-world family is anti-emperor.

Li Shimin felt very blocked in his heart at this time, daring to love me is two-sided and unflattering, for the world, they don't think I give enough, but for ordinary people, the emperor and the family are the same thing.

Li Shimin stood up, smiled, and looked at Zhou Wu: "Zhou Dongjia...... I've been taught here today, oh, this newspaper, can I take it with me? ”

Zhou Wu heard that Li Shimin didn't seem to have any intention of trading, and he felt a little regretful, but the business was not benevolent, so he said: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Li Shimin seemed to remember something, and said to Chen Zhengtai: "Do you need tables and chairs?" ”

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly shook his head: "No need." ”

Li Shimin did not regret it, so he said to Zhang Qian: "Do you need it?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Lang Jun, you know me, what do I want to do with tables and chairs? ”

Li Shimin had no choice but to sigh: "That's it, I need 500 tables and chairs here, pay a deposit first, and at the beginning of next month, I will pick up the goods." ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously pulled out his sleeves, not surprisingly......

Didn't bring money.

Chen Zhengtai secretly rolled his eyes, coughed, and consciously took out a stack of IOUs from his sleeve and put them directly on the table: "Count it yourself, it's not enough to make up for it." ”

Li Shimin smiled, and then walked out of the room.

There was a carriage parked outside, and Li Shimin boarded the carriage and invited Chen Zhengtai to sit with him.

Chen Zhengtai got into Li Shimin's carriage? The carriage moved, and Zhou Wujian took a big order? With joy, he hurriedly sent the carriage to the door of the workshop.

After Li Shimin got into the carriage, he leaned on the mat? The eyes are half-open and half-closed.

In this quiet carriage, after a little silence? "I don't intend to appease them anymore. ”

Chen Zhengtai understands the deep meaning of His Majesty's words? He glanced at Li Shimin and said, "What are Your Majesty's plans?" ”

Li Shimin is a bold person, obviously has a thought in his heart, and said: "Hussar Mansion, you must first train a military horse, all the civil servants and military officials in the army?" All of them are drawn from the children of hundreds of workers. ”

This is almost unprecedented!

In the dynasties? People are wary of the children of hundreds of workers? With the children of hundreds of workers as the backbone? This is unprecedented.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, almost all the backbone of the army? They are all children of nobles or landlords who own a piece of land, and these people are called good families, after entering the army? He made great contributions to the emperor, made meritorious deeds, and then rewarded more land.

Even the Li family actually jumped up by virtue of this.

And hundreds of workers, in the eyes of many people, is a cheap industry, this kind of discrimination against hundreds of workers, in fact, from all aspects. From social status to a way out in the future, once you become a craftsman, there is almost no possibility of jumping up to your status.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, you can hardly find a few people with a craftsman's background.

Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "Oh." ”

Li Shimin's face was tense at this time, this was unprecedented, but at this time, his eyes were a little sharper, and his gaze swept over Chen Zhengtai's body: "Can these people maintain their combat strength?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten where Shuofang was ......?"

Li Shimin nodded: "I understand." But...... These combat forces are still not enough, the Turks are just disrupted by muskets, but you need to understand that muskets alone cannot defeat the enemy, if they meet excellent generals, they will soon find a flaw in the musket formation, so this must be done, this army must have the ability to respond quickly, and there must be a cavalry battalion. ”

The power of the war horse, in this era, will never be eliminated, and the power of the musket at this time is still too weak, and there are too many drawbacks.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen understands. ”

Li Shimin then said: "Can you guarantee their loyalty?" ”

This is actually the most important thing, no matter how powerful it is, if you are not faithful to you, everything will be in vain!

"Absolutely." Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation.

Li Shimin looked at him with a smile: "Let's hear it." ”

"One of the advantages of the children of Baigong is that they often grow up in densely populated places, they are well-informed, and most of their parents have some savings, which can barely support them to read some books and read some words...... That's why the newspaper has the greatest impact on artisans. Therefore, the sons thought that in this new army, training should be the mainstay, supplemented by education. Besides...... The children of the world, His Majesty rewarded them, even if the reward was more, in fact, they had already raised Diao, and it was not surprising that they felt it. But if it is a child of a hundred workers, as long as His Majesty is willing to give some gifts, even if it is just a small reward, they will be grateful. Start here...... Deploy some excellent generals to lead them, and they will dare to go to the soup. ”

"Excellent general......" Li Shimin's mind immediately swept over Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others.

But he shook his head, Li Jing is a ...... At the beginning, his position was not firm at the time of the Xuanwumen Change.

And Cheng Biting Jin and others are too deeply involved with the world.

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't believe in their loyalty, it's just that for Li Shimin, what he needs is a ...... Once there is a conflict between the royal family and the clan, the military horse can obey the will without hesitation.

This army does not want 99 percent loyalty, but 100 percent!

Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Is anyone competent?" ”

Chen Zhengtai had already been chosen, and immediately said: "Has Your Majesty forgotten Su Dingfang, Xue Renguiren, etc.?" In addition, there are also Hei Zhi Changzhi and Qi Bi He Li, although most of these people are reckless, or they are foreign people, but they are all enemies, in the eyes of Erchen, they are not under Li Jing and General Cheng. ”

This guy ......

I have a lot of confidence in Su Dingfang and others.

Li Shimin is quite relieved about the force of these people, but the general still needs to be able to lead his troops into battle, and it does not rely on momentary courage.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai deeply and said, "Can you trust it?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are both brothers of Erchen, as for Heizhi Changzhi and Qibi He Li, they have no relatives in Datang, Erchen has always trusted them, and they have always been grateful. ”

"Then give it a try." Li Shimin smiled: "I, Datang, can't rely on Li Jing and these people to fight the world after all, they are getting older." ”

Then Li Shimin said: "You just mentioned the new army, then this army and horses are called the new army, and the duty is still to protect the prince, put it in the East Palace Guard, and the money and food needed will still be taken from the treasury tomorrow...... I will make a decree. As for the rest...... I will arrange it, and what you have to do is to train your troops well......"

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "Erchen is only afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, why not ...... Invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out and preside over the overall situation. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply.

He seemed to understand what Chen Zhengtai meant.

The whole of this new army is Chen Zhengtai's people, and Chen Zhengtai is afraid that he, the emperor, will have doubts about him.

But Li Shimin smiled and said meaningfully: "I treat you as my own son, why should you be suspicious?" Let alone...... Remember, you are my courtier, and you are not the prince's courtier yet. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhengtai almost slapped himself.

He almost forgot the Li family's specialty, but whoever has strength in his hands and is a son has to do his own thing.

Li Shimin started as his own brother and his father, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention, almost all have such a tradition, and it is not wrong to say that it is a family history.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on the Li family, so Emperor Yang of Sui, isn't it rumored that Emperor Wen of Sui killed Emperor Wen of Sui when he was dying?

As for the messy Eastern Jin Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Southern Dynasty Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, the internal strife between the royal families is simply commonplace, the son does Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu does the son, and the younger brother does the elder brother...... This is simply a traditional entertainment within the royal family.

Therefore, later historians always say that the Li family is ruthless, which is really wronged for them, as far as the Li family is concerned, to a certain extent, the moral level may still be above the passing line among the royal family.

It was only after the Song Dynasty that the imperial family barely stabilized...... This is due to the gradual completion of the inheritance system.

The current Li Shimin...... Do you say that he doesn't value family affection at all? He obviously attaches great importance to it, he has a lot of feelings for the eldest grandson empress, and his concern for the crown prince Li Chengqian can be described as meticulous, even if Li Chengqian rebelled in history, he couldn't bear to kill, and even Li Zhi ascended the throne, but also because he couldn't bear to let his sisters-in-law die after his death, so he chose Li Zhi, who was more 'generous', as his heir.

But even if Li Shimin loves his son again, his heart is like a mirror, and the only way to achieve that father and son do not kill each other is to grasp the power in his hands tightly.

He can train Li Chengqian wholeheartedly, but he must not give Li Chengqian too much military power and nurture Li Chengqian's ambitions.

Li Shimin's mind is not difficult to guess.

Chen Zhengtai pretended to be smart, and when Li Chengqian was mentioned at this time, Li Shimin couldn't help but start to suspect that this guy was ...... It won't be Li Chengqian's undercover agent.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel like he was hitting his own feet!

He took a deep breath, embarrassment is certain at this time, but as the saying goes, as long as I, Chen Zhengtai, am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

So he smiled dryly: "It's the son's ill-thought-out, of course the son's minister is loyal to His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin looked as usual, and said, "I don't mean anything else, it's just ...... Good wine needs to be brewed before it can be fragrant. The prince is still young, so he doesn't need to be involved in such a big thing. ”

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say in his heart, I'm still young.

But now he learned wisely, and said with a smile on his face: "Erchen understands." ”

The carriage moved slowly, and soon arrived at the gate of the Chen family's mansion.

But at this time, the Chen family was in a mess.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the porter cried out, "But is the doctor here?" Is it a doctor? ”

Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai got out of the car, and the porter was speechless for a while when he saw that it was Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai was anxious: "What, what are you calling the doctor for?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is about to give birth." The porter said: "Chen Fu has gone to the doctor, I ...... I thought ......"

Chen Zhengtai jumped to his feet in a hurry: "What, don't we have a doctor in our house?" Is something wrong? ”

The porter said: "Of course there are doctors in the house, and Wen Po is also there, these are all prepared a long time ago, but Her Royal Highness the princess said...... Say that it is uncomfortable, and it is about to give birth...... So...... The third uncle was not at ease and said that he would find more doctors in case of emergency. ”

"Uh......" Chen Zhengtai was a little relieved, and tried his best to calm down: "Oh, I know, don't be afraid, look at your hairy appearance, I'll go in and take a look." ”

Li Shimin never expected that he was going to give birth at this time, originally just to come and see and visit his daughter, he was a little excited for a while, and with a little worry, he couldn't help but say: "It's really early and not a coincidence." ”

Chen Zhengtai thought that His Majesty was also here, so he hurriedly stopped his steps about to go inside, and said, "Your Majesty, please first." ”

When the porter heard the word "Your Majesty", he was already dumbfounded, and seemed to be speechless in shock.

Everyone hurried into the house, and the place where Princess Sui'an was staying was already overcrowded.

All the female relatives of the Chen family came, and the third uncle did not dare to step forward, but only dared to watch from a distance, with his hands behind his back, and took some of the men of the Chen family around, asking for the gods and Buddhas and ancestors from time to time, hoping to be blessed.

This era...... Even a noble family like the Chen family cannot ensure smooth production, and if you don't pay attention to it, it may be that the mother and child will be gone.

Therefore, everyone in this mansion is in a hurry, and they just want everyone to go in, take Princess Sui'an out, and replace her by herself: come...... It's the first time I've done this, but I'm quite experienced, so I'll live in the next life.

When the third uncle saw Chen Zhengtai, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he first scolded: "Why did you come back so late today, Your Highness is about to give birth, and I can't find you." ”

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Li Shimin was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Li Shimin said: "What's the matter? ”

Now the third uncle is in a hurry, so he said angrily: "What else, give birth to a doll, you don't understand, what's the use of asking?" According to the old man's many years of experience in watching people produce...... If you don't give birth to a child before tonight, you're afraid of ...... To do bad things. Ahh ”
