Chapter 32: Li Chengqian's Self-Defense
(Effort...) Come on....! )
Looking at the angry Li Shimin, Li Chengqian could still laugh, and the first feeling of the Manchu Dynasty was that the prince was crazy.
Here, Li Shimin looked at the prince who not only did not ask for guilt, but also smiled lightly, and shouted angrily: "Li Chengqian, you rebel...!" ”
Li Shimin hadn't finished scolding yet, Li Chengqian bowed very calmly at this time and said: "Father, please be calm and don't be impatient, can you give your sons a chance to defend themselves?" ”
"What else do you have to say?" Li Shimin looked coldly at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the court.
At this time, Li Chengqian bowed down unhurriedly and said: "Father, the son is wronged, the reason why the son did not attend class and stayed in the prison is actually because he wants to help his father." ”
"You want to help me?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some disbelief.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yesterday morning, my father was very disappointed when he saw the horse policy theory of several of us, and his sons could see the look of regret in his father's eyes.
Although in the end my father let us leave, the younger brothers returned home happily, and soon forgot all about it.
But the sons are not good, the sons are the princes, the princes of the country, the sons can't be like the younger brothers, they forget after scolding, the father has troubles, and the sons must help the father solve the troubles. ”
"Hmph... That's a good thing, but that's not an excuse for you to skip school. Li Shimin's anger slowly disappeared a lot because of Li Chengqian's sincere performance, after all, Li Chengqian was the son-in-law born to him and Empress Changsun, and blood is thicker than water.
"Oh . . . I don't know if the prince's brother helped his father solve his troubles, and this king doesn't understand a little, why did the prince's brother help his father solve his troubles? ”
Li Tai jumped out again, once again focusing his attention on the general who was not good for Li Chengqian.
The Tang Dynasty had a class, Shinong and industrialist, as the crown prince but ran away as a prisoner, this is an insult to his identity, Li Tai firmly grasped this, he could easily provoke Li Shimin's unhappiness with Li Chengqian.
"yes...!" Li Shimin, who was a little discouraged, was hooked up again: "Why do you want to be a prisoner, Ma Zheng's matter, what can you help me if you go to be a prisoner?"
Tell me... Unfilial son... Did you just say everything a lie? ”
Looking at Li Shimin, who was once again provoked by his own brother, Li Chengqian was really unhappy with Li Tai in his heart, but he was not angry, but smiled slightly again: "Father... Whoever said that he would be a prisoner, he couldn't share his father's worries, and the son hoped that his father could let the son of the emperor bring up the son of the son, as long as the son of the son was brought up, everything could be revealed. ”
"Bold...!" Li Ke flashed out from the side: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the main hall of Taiji Palace, and it is the place where hundreds of civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty deal with major affairs in the world, you actually want to let a beast come here, this is disrespectful!" ”
Li Chengqian seemed to have known that someone would talk about this, so he heard Li Chengqian look at Li Ke with a smile and said, "Brother Ke... What you say, this king does not agree, the war horse is not a beast, it is the brother of all cavalry and generals, comrades-in-arms, on the battlefield, if you treat your brothers and comrades-in-arms as beasts, then you are a beast. ”
"You actually insult this king...!" Li Ke was furious.
Li Chengqian smiled: "Brother Ke, just talk about things, this king didn't scold you!" After speaking, Li Chengqian turned to look at the surrounding generals and asked, "Generals, do you think what this king said is right?" ”
"Of course that's right...!" Cheng Yanjin said without hesitation: "Who dares to say that the war horse of labor and management is a beast, and the labor and management of the horse lance give him a heart-to-heart." ”
"Haha... What Cheng Lao Wei said this time is right for my temper, my Wei Chi Gong's war horse is my brother, if it weren't for this group of brothers, I Wei Chi Gong don't know how many times he died, who would dare to say that they are beasts.
Hum... Don't say it in front of me, or I'll not be able to control hitting him. ”
After Wei Chigong finished speaking, Li Ke subconsciously avoided in fright, why... Because Wei Chigong is a person who does what he says, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the heroes under him were a little fluttering, especially Wei Chigong was the most excessive, he not only fought bravely, but also saved Li Shimin's life, especially in the Xuanwumen Change.
Later, when Wei Chigong saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, he was a little disdainful, thinking that they were all people who could only write and write, and when it came to leading troops to fight, they still had to test generals like themselves.
Once, Li Shimin invited his ministers to a banquet, which was a very festive banquet, but after Wei Chigong found his seat, he found that there was a person who was placed above him, and it happened to be a literati he looked down upon.
At this time, Wei Chigong pointed at the man and said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to sit on my top position, you are not worthy at all!" This quarrel made the scene suddenly embarrassing, and then Li Daozong stood up, as a good man, he wanted to make a round.
Li Daozong said: "Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, there is no need to fight for a moment, and quarreling on such a festive day is also sad and peaceful..."
As a military general, Wei Chigong must have a lot of strength, his punch almost blinded Li Daozong's eyes, everyone saw this scene, and immediately came to watch and persuade, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was not in the mood to have a banquet, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
Who is Li Daozong, a general in the early Tang Dynasty, strictly speaking, he is Li Yuan's cousin, and Li Shimin is a cousin, Li Daozong has participated in many battles in his life, breaking Liu Wuzhou, breaking Wang Shichong, destroying the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and conquering Goguryeo.
Wei Chigong, a bastard, even dared to fight Li Daozong, let alone Li Ke... So Li Ke didn't want to be punched.
"Alright... Don't even say it...! ”
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and said: "Forget about other horses, war horses are not considered beasts, people are coming... Bring the prince's mount to me, and I want to see what kind of truth is revealed. ”
That's it... About a pillar of incense passed, Li Chengqian's mount was led to the main hall of Taiji Palace.
As soon as they came up, the Wenchen generals were attracted by the sound of 'stepping' and 'stepping' metal hitting the ground, and after looking at Li Chengqian's mount again, they found that there was something strange on Li Chengqian's mount.
In addition to the horse's reins, there was a place to sit on the horse's back, and then two iron things hung down from either side of the horse.
Cheng Yanjin was the first to be puzzled, he ran to Li Chengqian's mount, pointed to the saddle and stirrups on Li Chengqian's mount, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince... What are these two of you, how come Lao Cheng has never seen them? ”
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Lu Guogong, I know that my father is going to attack Tuyuhun, so I racked my brains to come up with two items that can strengthen my Tang cavalry."
Take a look... These are the two, the saddle and the stirrups...! ”
"Saddle and stirrups...!" The other generals also got up one after another and came to Li Chengqian's mount, looking at Li Chengqian's stirrup and saddle together with great surprise.
Even Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and became curious.
"Just these two strange things can also strengthen the strength of our Tang cavalry?" Li Tai glanced at him with contempt and said, "I see... The prince's brother is deliberately exonerating himself, right? ”
Li Tai's words, Li Chengqian as if he didn't hear them, looking at the curious people, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Everyone, this king will explain stirrups and saddles for everyone...!" ”
