Chapter 997: Silla is in danger
Li Chengqian walked quickly to the Taiji Palace.
At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were above the court. The following are the civil and military officials, and under normal circumstances, these civil and military officials will not come together.
Especially in the afternoon, at this time, it shouldn't be.
As soon as Li Chengqian entered it, everyone saluted.
Because of his arrival, people seem to see hope.
Only his presence can make people feel at ease.
"The sons and daughters meet their father, the emperor and the queen mother!"
Li Chengqian said.
At the same time, the civil and military officials also saluted him.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As for why, they salute?
That's because they respect Li Chengqian, and his status in people's minds is second only to Li Shimin.
Even in diplomacy, he is even better than Li Shimin.
This is also what people think in their hearts, and they did not let Li Shimin know.
Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite.
Li Chengqian said again: "I don't know why my father is looking for his sons? ”
He looked at the people around him, everyone looked preoccupied, there must be something big, and he just had a second child, generally speaking, he wouldn't let him come, but now he is letting him come, there must be a reason.
And this one thing may be about the future of Datang.
Li Shimin motioned to Fang Xuanling and said.
Fang Xuanling then said: "That's the case, recently we have received the news of the Yan Ya, it is from the Qin general, recently, the Yan Ya and Goguryeo and others tried to invade our Tang territory, and today, the news from Silla said that the Yan Ya, Goguryeo and Baekje are trying to use the three kingdoms to unite and exterminate them. ”
Sure enough, it is really related to Datang, or about the Datang frontier.
This is really a big matter, a matter of his own territory, a matter of sovereignty, a big matter, and he will not allow the enemy to spread wild on his own land.
If Silla is destroyed, it will not be good.
Why do you say that, the current Silla is equivalent to a stronghold, and if its own stronghold is gone, it will be over, and if the situation in the entire east is to be controlled, it will not be so fast.
If Datang wants to control the east, he has to let Silla come along.
Just as he ruled the Turks and Tibet.
The Turks are now slowly coming into orbit. A large supply of meat and a large number of cattle also helped Datang agriculture a lot.
If you add Tibet, then everything will only be better.
This is the diversity of trade, each taking what he needs.
Buying in your own country can save you a lot of trouble.
You can also draw your own resources at any time to accomplish great things.
If there are Silla and other places in the east, it is equivalent to another big gift for Datang.
The fishing industry here is very well developed.
If things are combined, the future will be even stronger.
Li Shimin did not let Li Chengqian go on the expedition before, because the situation in the east was tentative, and it could be maintained, and there would be no chaos.
Now it seems that chaos has begun to fall in the east, which is why he is in such a hurry to let Li Chengqian come over.
When Fang Xuanling finished speaking.
Li Chengqian thought for a while.
After that, he said: "Father, my son thinks that now I can't sit idly by." When done quickly! Don't put it off! ”
It is conceivable that the princess of Silla is in a hurry now.
Faced with the destruction of the whole country, now Datang seems to have no intention of sending troops.
She is probably also waiting for her future husband to go on the expedition, and he will come to her with the Tang Iron Cavalry to conquer the world.
But the current situation is not promising.
She may also know that some time ago, Datang had just leveled Tubo and accepted it for her own use.
In less than half a year, he took the two major powers of Turkic and Tibetan.
That may still have to be done by Li Chengqian, and no one else can do it.
At this time, she must be looking forward to it.
Empress Changsun said at this time: "Yes, so Your Majesty asked you to come over and discuss it." ”
Judging from the expressions of the ministers, everyone is also waiting for Li Chengqian's arrival.
Now that he is here, the problem is not far from being solved.
Li Shimin also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he asked Li Chengqian to come over and wanted to hear what Li Chengqian meant.
"yes, I want to know what you think."
Li Chengqian said: "Father, the son originally wanted to support Silla through the sea area, but now it seems that this plan may be discussed again!" ”
Speaking of this time, Li Chengqian said again: "Li Kai! ”
It turns out that Li Kai is also here.
"The minister is here!"
"How's the warwheel going now?"
"The original budget of fifty large ships is now only twenty completed, and thirty are still unfinished."
"Twenty? How many people can a big ship carry, how many Zhenguan cannons, and a month's supply are also counted, this king must know this data! ”
Li Chengqian said.
No one knew what he was going to do.
Li Kai didn't dare to slack off, so he took the notebook and drew there.
After a while, he spoke: "One cannon can carry five hundred people, fifty Zhenguan cannons, and a large supply of cannonballs. This is optimal, there can be no more people, and there can be no less! ”
In this way, if there were twenty large ships together, there would be ten thousand people.
10,000 people, probably enough.
Li Chengqian thought a little.
If this is the case, it may be possible to alleviate the crisis in Silla.
"Gao Ming, what are you?"
"Father, Rong Erchen asks another question."
Li Shimin was silent and waved his hand to ask.
"Li Kai, how long will it take to have thirty more ships?"
"These thirty ships have begun to take shape, but this is a streamlined construction, not one by one, if it is also thirty together, if we step up production, it may take ten days to build!"
Ten days later? If we go on another expedition at that time, Silla may be gone by then.
So, it's impossible.
It can't be like this.
Li Chengqian was thinking about it, everyone just looked at him quietly, waiting for him quietly, wanting to hear what he would do next?
After another moment, his eyes lit up.
You know, he has a way.
So, he said: "Father, the son has a way!" ”
This one has a way to soothe everyone's frowns.
He said that there is a way, then there must be a way.
So this time Silla's crisis is going to be lifted.
And Datang's borders are going to be safe.
Even Datang's territory is about to expand again.
"What's the solution, let's hear it!"
Li Shimin's tone became much lighter.
If Li Chengqian had been allowed to go on the expedition earlier, what happened today would not have happened.
But Li Chengqian was not allowed to go out, also because of some reasons, this is not what he thinks, people's hearts are made of meat, Li Chengqian is his own child, there is no reason to treat him as a tool, he is accurate, and the eldest grandson and queen will not let him!
At this time, Li Chengqian spoke.
His words made people gasp.
They all felt that he was too adventurous and radical.
