Then, Li Chengqian asked Li You to come up and make a report.

In the report, Li You attributed all the credit to Li Shimin's wise leadership, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's excellent logistical support for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the heroic battles of the front-line soldiers.

Subsequently, Li Chengqian decided to organize the front again.

This matter was discussed by Li Chengqian and Li You, and Li You went to the Japanese slave country and wrote a recital to Li Shimin in advance, and the matter of returning to Chang'an was a temporary decision.

In order to prevent someone from making a fuss about this matter, Li You simply made his activities public in the name of publicizing the results of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and raising supplies for the front line.

In the court, Li Chengqian ordered the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War to raise grain, craftsmen, and weapons and transport them to the Liaodong region and Dengzhou again.

Gao Jingming, the head of the household department, had some doubts about Li Chengqian's deployment, and he said: "Qi Yu Jian Guo, according to the plan, a month ago, the materials raised by the imperial court have been transported to the front line, according to the number of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the materials are enough to support half a year, and now it is necessary to send materials to the front line again?" ”

This guy only recognizes money, and he has to be more serious about everything he asks him to pay.

Wei Zheng also came out to object.

The eldest grandson Wuji and others are all watching how Li Chengqian handles this matter.

Li Chengqian said: "It is necessary, in order to reassure my father and the soldiers on the front line, wouldn't it be good to reserve more supplies?"

Even if these materials can't be used up, they can be used to help the victims of the disaster in Goguryeo!

Send it over now with a solid heart, lest when it is needed in the future, the imperial court will have to organize emergency transportation, won't it be more troublesome at that time? ”

Gao Jingming wanted to say something, Li Chengqian said decisively: "This matter is so decided, you just do it." ”

Li Chengqian used to be indecisive in doing things, and he had to discuss a matter repeatedly for a long time. His performance today is eye-catching, and he really looks like a future emperor.

Gao Jingming and others did not say more, saying that they would follow the edict of the prison state.

The ministers, especially the eldest grandson Wuji and others, clearly felt the changes in Li Chengqian.

In fact, Gao Jingming and Wei Zheng are both acting, just to cooperate to establish Li Chengqian's prestige. They received instructions from Li You, not to let them support Li Chengqian in the court, but to oppose his opinions, so as to show Li Chengqian's decisiveness.

Qi Wangfu.

Li Leling and Li Lizhen were invited to the Qi Palace.

In the golden autumn of October, the weather in Chang'an City has been slightly cool, and in the garden, a picnic is being carried out.

Li You personally grilled lamb skewers for Li Leling and Li Lizhi, and then accompanied them to drink.

Li Leling held the goblet with her white fingers, gently shook the wine in it, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you have worked so hard to entertain our sisters, do you have any bad ideas?" ”

Li You smiled and said: "Look at it, they all say that the third sister is smart, and it's true, I really have something to discuss with you." ”

Li Lizhi said: "Fifth brother, did the eldest grandson Chong find you?" ”

Li You took a big meal, made a frightened look, and said, "Oh, not only the third sister is smart, but the fifth sister is even more powerful." ”

"Giggles." Li You's appearance caused Li Leling and Li Lizhi to laugh coquettishly.

Li Leling smiled: "My brother, don't play tricks, just say something." ”

Li You said: "Third sister, fifth sister, my father has been away from Chang'an for so long, do you want him?" ”

"Yes." The two girls replied at the same time.

Li Shimin is very fond of his daughters, and the relationship between father and daughter is very deep.

Li You said: "In October in Chang'an, the weather has gradually cooled, and the flowers and trees are still green. At this time, Liaodong was already icy and snowy.

My father is very lonely there, do you want to help my father live more comfortably? "The Tang Army was not allowed to bring female dependents when going out on the expedition, so the life of the soldiers was very boring.

"Fifth brother, you say, how can we help our father?" Li Lizhi said.

"Yes, fifth brother, say it quickly." Li Leling urged.

Li You said: "I want to organize a condolence group to go to the front line to offer condolences. ”

Then, he popularized the organization of the condolence group and the methods of carrying out condolence activities.

Li Leling immediately agreed, and Li Lizhen was also a little excited.

Li You said: "My father has so many daughters, I only look for you, and you know why." ”

Li Lizhen is the daughter of the eldest grandson, although Li Leling was not born to the eldest grandson, but was raised by the eldest grandson, and it can also be said to be a concubine. Their status is noble, and their relationship with Li Shimin is also closer.

Speaking of this, the two sisters are very proud in their hearts, and they are very happy to do their filial piety for Li Shimin.

Li You said: "I won't tell you two that your horses want to serve the country. But you also understand the system of the imperial court. They've all come to me, that's why I came up with this idea. It can not only let them experience it safely, but also fulfill your filial piety to your father on your behalf. ”

In order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the system of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that the concubines of the Tang Dynasty could not hold important positions, especially military and political chiefs. Therefore, once you become a colt, you basically can't see the light in your career, and many people are reluctant to be a colt.

Yu Chi Baoqi is an exception, and that is because of Li Ruoyu's special circumstances.

Wang Jingzhi and Changsun Chong are both very talented young people, and they are not willing to live in obscurity. So I found Li You and wanted him to help them do something meaningful.

Wang Jingzhi looked for Li You last time and wanted to follow him to Persia. Because Li Leling objected, he didn't succeed. Even Li You recommended him to welcome his own relatives, but he was opposed by Li Leling and did not succeed.

The eldest grandson Chong is now a foreigner in the Ministry of Officials, and most of the time he also serves the princess at home. He was 3 years older than Li You, and he was envious when he saw Li You establish a brilliant career. He also came to Li You for help and wanted to change the environment.

Li Leling and Li Lizhi were both moved, they would definitely oppose other things, but let the concubine go to his father to fulfill his filial piety, they definitely agreed with this matter.

Li Leling said: "Fifth sister, let's just go together." ”

Li Lizhen's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. She said with a sad face, "I really want to go, but the queen mother's body is ......," and she shook her head as she said this.

Hearing Li Lizhi say this, Li Leling suddenly wilted.

Li You said: "Since the two of you can't go, I suggest that this time the two horses will lead the team and form a condolence group to go to the front line to comfort the emperor and the soldiers."

If you want, Brother Prince, I will speak for you. ”

Li Leling and Li Lizhen would not object to this matter, and they immediately agreed.

Li Leling asked: "This condolence group needs a lot of money to recruit a lot of kabuki, musicians, and carriage and horse fares. Where does this money come from? ”

Li You smiled: "This is not a problem, this money can be paid from the household department." However, I suggest that this money be shared by all the princes and daughters in Chang'an, and each family will send a representative to form this condolence group. ”

Li Leling and Li Lizhi understood that if the household department paid for it, it would be organized by the imperial court. If the princes and daughters pay for it, it means that the children are filial to their fathers. The difference in meaning here is much wider.

Of course, they are willing to achieve the latter effect.

What's more, so many princes and princesses contribute money together and share it among individuals, which is really not a big expense.

So, the two of them said that they would pay for it.

Li Leling said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are the richest, don't say anything about others, you can give us the money for me and the fifth sister." ”

Li Lizhi shook her head and said: "Third sister, this is filial piety for my father, we must be sincere, let's pay the money ourselves." ”

Li Leling reacted, she smiled: "Yes, I'm just joking with the fifth brother, I will pay the money myself." ”

In the end, Li Leling and Li Lizhen took the lead in contacting the prince and princess, and Wang Jingzhi and Changsun Chong took care of it.

After talking about this matter, Li Lizhi and Li Leling talked about the body of the eldest grandson queen, and their faces were full of sadness.

Li Lizhi said: "Fifth brother, you have the best way, help a group of queen mothers." ”
