Li You asked: "Big brother, you have been walking on thin ice for so many years, for what?" Isn't it just to make my father happy and make him satisfied?

What is the most satisfying thing for my father?

His father made countless great things in his life, but none of them made him happier and prouder than the victory of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.

If you think about it, for hundreds of years, the kings of all dynasties had nothing to do with Goguryeo, and Emperor Yang of Sui even led to the fall of the powerful Great Sui Dynasty because of his eastward expedition to Goguryeo. And the father and emperor drove the expedition in person, but destroyed Goguryeo, what a glorious victory!

I can say that there will probably be nothing more important than this matter in the future. For his father, this was the culmination of his life's glory.

Such a great victory, do you think you should celebrate it with a lot of fanfare? We worked hard to figure out the Taishan Sealing Ceremony, isn't it also to make my father happy? Welcoming such a good opportunity for the triumph of our father, why don't we seize it firmly?

As you are worried, we can't do this well, we can't satisfy my father, and the hard work we have put in over the years will be in vain.

In this matter, the opinion of the eldest grandson is correct, and he knows far more about his father than we do. Wei Zheng didn't have to think about what they were worried about, wasn't it just spending some money? I don't see 400,000 guan, not only is it not much, but it is too little. ”

Li Chengqian actually understands this truth, but he is still a little unsure about how to grasp the proportions of this matter.

He said: "Fifth brother, tell me in detail, what should I do about this matter?" ”

"Big brother, the so-called powder is smeared on the face, and the ceremony of welcoming the triumph of my father and emperor cannot be reduced in scale, but must be made even grander.

Didn't Lord Changsun say that he would organize 100,000 people, it's too little! I think we need to organize at least 300,000 people. Didn't he say that he was going to Chunming Gate to greet him, which was too insincere. My opinion is that we should line up the welcoming procession from the Suzaku Gate in Chang'an City to the Baqiao outside the city. You will lead the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to Baqiao to greet you in person.

Also, didn't Lord Eldest Sun suggest that the people who participated in the welcome ceremony be subsidized to buy new clothes, let's simply take out a sum of money and send it to all the citizens of Chang'an City in the name of the emperor, so that everyone can feel the joy brought by the triumphant return of the emperor.

There is also the construction of the triumphal arch, etc., not only to build, but also to build, the scale must be grand, and the time is also in time, so that the Ministry of Industry can organize the craftsmen in Chang'an City, and it can be built in one day. Li You said.

Li Chengqian's blood boiled by what Li You said, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

However, he was still a little worried, and said: "How much does it cost to send money to the citizens of Chang'an?" ”

Li You said: "Do you think this will work? The citizens of Chang'an City, as well as the citizens of other places who have lived in Chang'an for more than three years, including business travelers from various countries, have more than 1.5 million people, and the amount of money per person is always the same, and the officials and nobles are increased accordingly according to their ranks.

These sums up to about 2 million yuan, what is this money for Datang, which is now full of warehouses? Don't worry, I'll do the work of the tall man of Tobe, and keep it so that he can take out the money quickly. You don't have to worry about Wei Zheng, I'll go to him in a while.

Also, you don't have to think too much about other things, this kind of thing that is beneficial to everyone, everyone will approve of it. Even if some people say a few words of dissatisfaction, it is not a big deal.

Big brother, there is another thing, that is, my father may really criticize you for a few words, saying that you spend money indiscriminately, or even say that you work hard and waste money, you don't have to care, this is just a sign of his modesty, and he will definitely be satisfied with it in his heart. Suffice it to say, the more he scolds you, the happier he becomes.

In short, in this matter, if your father praises you, you will give all the credit to your father. If he criticizes you, you accept it with humility and take all the responsibility.

No matter what the outcome is, my father will be very satisfied with you. ”

The more Li Chengqian listened, the more excited he became, and he said sincerely, "Fifth brother, what you said is so right, I understand." ”

"Big brother, in order to avoid Wei Zheng and their opinions, I suggest that the ceremony of welcoming the triumph of my father and emperor be combined with the celebration of the victory of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. In this way, the celebration does not have to be repeated, and the organization of the people does not have to be carried out twice. The actual cost is also much lower.

In order to reduce the fatigue of the father and the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, we will prepare material reception, so that the father and the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army can rest for a few hours before entering Chang'an, and then calmly enter the city after the welcome ceremony here is ready, and then hold the celebration of the victory of the Eastern Expedition of Goguryeo directly in front of the Suzaku Gate. In this case, what else can Wei Zheng and the others say? ”

Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Fifth brother, eldest brother, I admire your head, why are you so smart?" It's just wonderful. Okay, I'll gather the ministers at once and put this matter down. The telegram to your father is up to you. ”

After finishing his business, Li You said: "Big brother, Murong Bo has brought a few famous Datong yaks from Tugu, the meat is delicious, I will ask someone to send you some yak meat." ”

Li Shimin received a telegram jointly sent by Li Chengqian and Li You, and when he saw that the people of Chang'an had heard that the money had been paid, they had thanked His Majesty the Emperor, and that there were as many as 400,000 people in Chang'an City who had voluntarily signed up to welcome his triumphant return.

He said to Li Li: "Your eldest brother and fifth brother are really messing around, I will reprimand them when I go back." ”

Li Li smiled and said: "My eldest brother and fifth brother are the most filial to you, your father, you are wise and martial, and your great achievements have never been seen before or since, and you are a well-deserved emperor of the ages." My eldest brother and fifth brother just did what they were supposed to do. If you reprimand them, your daughter will cry out for them. Hee-hee. ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You, you also learned badly from them." Alright, you can draft a call back for them for me. ”

Northwest Palace.

On this day, Li You, Pei Dilan, Murong Bo and Yin Guanghao were drinking and chatting, Xiao Wanyu came over, and he came with Zhang Guigui's wife Du Mei, she asked: "Brother You, my precious family has been away from Chang'an for so long, when will he let him come back to Chang'an?" ”

Li You said: "You're right, I also miss my precious brother." In this way, my father and emperor will hold a ceremony of Taishan Feng Zen in the near future, Wanyu, brother and sister, you can send some telegrams to your precious treasure in my name. If he can leave, let him return to Chang'an.

By the way, and Hamid. You let you ask Lao Ha to see if he has time, if he can go away, it is best to participate in the ceremony of Mount Tai Feng Zen ceremony, which is of great significance for consolidating the relationship between Persia and the Tang Dynasty. Besides, I miss him too, and I really want to meet him. ”

Du Mei was very happy and said, "Thank you, Brother Li You." After speaking, he grabbed Xiao Wanyu's hand and went to send a telegram.

Pei Dilan and Murong Bo are familiar with Hamid, and they both hope that he will come to Chang'an to get together together.

The Grand Marshal of the Persian Alliance.

Zhang Guigui was very happy after receiving the telegram, and took the telegram and went to Hamid.
