Chapter 173: Gambling on the Prince's Position
Father! Erchen is bitter! β
ββWhen Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin was a little surprised.
ββThe eldest grandson Wuji said: "Where is the trouble of making weapons privately? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly looking for excuses! Your Majesty, can't you see such an obvious behavior clearly? β
ββ"Duke Qi Guo, you can't say that, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be that kind of person!"
ββCheng Yanjin said.
ββHe knows the process best. This matter has nothing to do with Li Chengqian!
ββBut it's hard to say the relationship.
ββIt can only be maintained by Li Chengqian, as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, admit it yourself.
ββIf it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji today, I'm afraid this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
ββAnd the eldest grandson Wuji was also scolded by Li Chengqian, so be it.
ββ"Lu Guogong, you're afraid you've been brainwashed too, right? Seeing is believing, and you see, what did he ask Xue Rengui to come over? What are you going to do with that strange-shaped knife? Is it to be unfavorable to the emperor? β
ββThe eldest grandson Wuji's mouth is very vicious.
ββcame and went, and he said it was like that.
ββEmpress Eldest Sun came forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you believe in Qian'er's words, the concubine must have a hard time!" It's not like what Qi Guogong said, if you want to do it, you have already done it. Why wait? β
ββCheng Biting Jin and Empress Changsun persuaded at the same time, which made Li Shimin's originally angry expression become relaxed.
ββreally do it, Li Shimin is not afraid, don't forget, he used to be a military general, and his force is not inferior to others, as well as Cheng Biting Jin, and the eldest grandson Wuji. Xue Rengui really did it, and he had to think about it.
ββHe said, "I want to see what your so-called suffering is. β
ββLi Chengqian saw that the opportunity had come.
ββThen he said: "Father, in fact, the sons have been very concerned about the Tang Dynasty army recently, especially about weapons. Erchen saw that the weapons of the Tang army were very backward, not only were they often rusty, but most of the weapons were unqualified. There is no war at all! Just imagine, if soldiers go out to fight with substandard weapons, the loss may not only be weapons, but may be human lives! β
ββWhen Li Shimin heard this, it was really like that for a while, he didn't fight less, and he knew what was good and what was bad, and Li Chengqian was right this time. At the same time, his expression softened a little.
ββWhen Li Chengqian said this, Empress Changsun immediately understood.
ββ"So Qian'er wants to be able to build his own weapons to replace the existing ones? A good idea if that's the case! β
ββ"The Queen Mother is right!"
ββWith the intervention of Empress Changsun, it all seems to have gone very smoothly.
ββAnd the eldest grandson Wuji sneered.
ββ"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the palace all the year round, how do you know how to make this weapon the best? What's the use of this car made behind closed doors? β
ββObviously, he did not believe that Li Chengqian had such ability to create powerful weapons.
ββAt the same time, he walked towards Xue Rengui.
ββ"What can you do with this kind of weapon? It's just scrap metal. Looking at the appearance, it is also very strange! This kind of weapon is not qualified for my Datang soldiers! β
ββThe eldest grandson, Wuji, devalued this weapon to nothing.
ββAnd those craftsmen also looked at each other angrily, after all, this is a weapon made by their sweat and experience, how can it be like this in the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji.
ββBut they are too small to speak. After speaking, there is no one to defend them, and they may be killed.
ββcan only silently endure the fate of being looked down upon.
ββBut Li Chengqian won't do this.
ββHe directly interrupted Eldest Sun Wuji.
ββ"Eldest grandson Wuji, do you think that with a few words from you, you can devalue my weapon?"
ββ"Or else?"
ββ"You're not qualified enough!"
ββ"If you can't do it, you can't do it, why is there anything you don't qualify?"
ββ"Then the king will make a bet with you, do you dare?"
ββLi Chengqian said suddenly.
ββSince the eldest grandson Wuji can't get anything good, then bet on it, at least let him have some blood! Otherwise, it's not pleasant.
ββ"Oh? Bet? β
ββLi Shimin looked at Li Chengqian very curiously. Then, Li Chengqian said:
ββ"Father, the works of the sons and daughters are not allowed to be desecrated by others, if they are blasphemers, they must pay the price, so the sons ask the father to make a notarization for the sons!"
ββLi Chengqian said that it is not a drop of water.
ββLi Shimin is also a good gambler, but he is not the kind of person who gambles money, but bets on winning and losing. Especially in military matters, he believes that this is conducive to the growth of the army! And this kind of thing is encouraged!
ββEmpress Changsun also said on the side: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks she can give it a try." β
ββ"Your Majesty, the minister believes in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in order to block the mouths of some people, this bet will be made!"
ββCheng Yanjin also said.
ββLi Shimin nodded and said, "I thought that this could be had!" β
ββ"Eldest grandson Wuji, what do you think?"
ββLi Chengqian asked.
ββThe eldest grandson was silent.
ββHe added: "You don't even have the courage to bet with this king, do you? Where is your questioning voice now? β
ββThe eldest grandson Wuji was still silent.
ββ"Hmph, cowardly as a mouse! My father said it, but you don't dare, if you don't dare, don't keep arguing on the side in the future. It's annoying! β
ββLi Chengqian said again.
ββAs soon as the last words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji was really angry.
ββ"Bet! How not to bet? How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to bet? β
ββLi Chengqian saw that the eldest grandson Wuji had taken the bait, and a smile gradually hung on his face.
ββ"Bet this sword will break your sword!"
ββLi Chengqian pointed to the eldest grandson Wuji's sword and said.
ββ"This sword was given by the emperor, I don't want to take it out!"
ββLi Shimin said: "If you can't even compare with Qian'er's weapons, then what's the use of a sword?" It's not as good as a piece of rotten iron! β
ββLi Shimin spoke, and the eldest grandson Wuji said bluntly: "But this is a gift from the emperor, how can it?" β
ββ"When the time comes, I'll give you another handful!"
ββLi Shimin couldn't see the eldest grandson Wuji so abrasive, although his intentions were good. also made Li Shimin happy, but he wanted to see what Li Chengqian's results were.
ββ"Yes! I understand! β
ββEldest Sun Wuji nodded.
ββAfter finishing, his expression was a little fierce, just for a moment.
ββ"Then how is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to place a bet?"
ββ"Let Xue Rengui swing his sword and fight with your sword for three rounds, if you are equipped with a sword, then you will punish yourself for a year, fill it into the treasury, and benefit the people!"
ββ"And what if you lose?"
ββThe eldest grandson Wuji asked.
ββ"This king will not lose!"
ββLi Chengqian said this, so that the eldest grandson Wuji was almost swallowed to death.
ββ"Qian'er, this is unfair, you have to make a bet if you don't say anything, right?"
ββSo to speak, he listened to Empress Changsun.
ββ"Yes, Queen Mother!"
ββAfter finishing, Li Chengqian said again: "If I lose, then my position as the crown prince will be handed over!" β
ββLi Chengqian said.
ββmade the eldest grandson Wuji sneer.
ββIt seemed as if he had succeeded.
