Although the two princesses were born in the royal family, pearls of this quality are also rare.

Li Lizhi happily took it and said, "Thank you, Fifth Brother." ”

Li Leling was still angry and ignored Li You.

Li You smiled and said, "Third sister, let me go first, and I'll bring you something better next time." ”

Li Leling's face improved a little and said, "Who is rare." But the hand involuntarily reached over.

Li Lizhi said: "Fifth brother, we all know that you are rich and a rich man, you have to count when you speak, bring us good things next time." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Li You is very fortunate that he has lost his wealth and avoided disasters.

At this time, an attendant came over and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, the queen mother is waiting for you." ”

Li You said: "Third sister, fourth sister, then I'll go first." After speaking, he followed the chamberlain into the Lizheng Palace.

After Li You left, Li Li said: "Third sister, fifth brother is very good, he has the ability, he has saved his mother, he has saved so many people, and this time he was injured to save people." Why can't you get along with him? ”

Li Leling felt aggrieved and said: "Anyway, I don't like him, this person hates him to death." ”

In the dormitory.

"You'er, are you here, are you feeling better?" Empress Eldest Sun saw Li You and said kindly.

"Thank you for your mother's worries." Li You said.

"Come, You'er sit down. You want to see me today, is there anything you want? Empress Eldest Sun said.

Li You said: "Queen Mother, these days, the prince's brother has visited Erchen several times, and Erchen is very grateful.

When Erchen was talking to him, he felt that he was in a bad mood, and after talking to him in detail, Erchen felt that he was under too much pressure. ”

Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and his status is also easy to covet by all princes, Li You's words aroused the instinctive vigilance of the eldest grandson empress.

She asked quietly, "Is there any problem?" ”

Li You received: "The queen mother, the sons feel that the prince's brother is talented and intelligent, and he should not always stay in the palace, but should go out to make contributions, which can not only increase his experience and establish prestige, but also enhance his confidence." ”

Empress Eldest Sun said, "What specific thoughts do you have?" ”

Li You received: "The son has a suggestion, now the imperial court has decided to send troops to Tuguhun, this battle has a great chance of winning, it is better to let the prince's brother serve as the supervisor of the army, a steady military achievement." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was a little unconfident and said, "Your eldest brother has no experience in the army, can he go?" ”

Li You said: "No problem, General Li is in command, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanjun are all victorious generals." If you still don't feel at ease, Erchen will accompany the prince's brother. ”

Empress Eldest Sun was moved, she knew the pain in Li Chengqian's heart, and hoped that he would be able to make contributions and get out of the shadow in his heart. She said, "Is your body okay?" ”

Li You smiled and said: "Queen Mother, don't worry, Erchen's body is fine, you see." He moved his arm to indicate that it was all right.

Empress Eldest Sun said: "I don't care about this matter, I can only mention it to your father and emperor depending on the situation, and you still have to do the work of other people." ”

Li You received: "The queen mother can rest assured, Lord Wei, Lord Fang, Lord Changsun, and General Li all agree." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was grateful in her heart, and chatted with Li You about his marriage, she said: "You'er, Xiao Wanyu and Murong Ling are very good, I can see that they both like you very much."

However, there is only one position for Princess Qi, so you have to deal with this matter well. ”

Li You said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the son-in-law is still young, so I won't consider the marriage for the time being, let's talk about it in the future." ”

Empress Changsun said: "They are all sixteen years old, not young, when I was pregnant with your eldest brother, I was only fifteen years old......

After chatting for a while, Li You said goodbye and left.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li You's back and said to herself, "This kid is benevolent and righteous." ”

She instructed: "Send some of my newly assigned Shu brocade to Concubine Yin." ”

……

On this day, the eunuch came to the palace of King Qi, and he said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace. In order to take care of your body, His Majesty has granted you permission to ride directly into Miyagi in a carriage. ”

Liangyi Palace, study.

This was a highest-level military meeting, and Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Hou Junji attended the meeting.

Li Shimin deliberately trained the princes, and let Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li You attend the meeting.

Li Shimin said: "The decision to send troops to Tuyuhun has been decided, how to proceed, let's talk about it." ”

General Li Jing spoke first, he said: "Your Majesty, the military ministers have been deployed, and the ministers suggest that 40,000 government soldiers from the Inner Dao and Longyou Dao, 10,000 from Xue Wanjun's department, and 20,000 people from the Eastern Turkic Ashina Simo Department should enter Tuyuhun from Shanzhou, defeat the rebel Murong cadres with the help of Murong Bo, and seize the southwest area of Longde City.

Ashina Simo was a general under the former Eastern Turkic Khan, who later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the general of the Right Marquis and the governor of Huazhou. He had tens of thousands of iron horsemen of Turkic origin under his command.

At the same time, the officers and troops of Hezhou, Hanzhou, Juzhou, and Yazhou were ordered to form a defensive posture against the Tibetans. ”

Li Shimin asked, "What do you all think?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others have no objections. Li Ke and Li Tai knew nothing about military affairs, and they did not oppose it.

At this time, Li Chengqian said: "Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters think that what the general said is basically correct, but it is still not perfect. ”

There was silence in the study, and everyone looked at Li Chengqian with surprised eyes, and they didn't understand, what was this His Royal Highness the Prince, who usually seemed a little dull, what was this for?

Li Ke and Li Tai were both in the mood to watch the joke, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Li Shimin was also very curious and interested in hearing what Li Chengqian had to suggest. He said, "Prince, tell me, what do you think?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "First, it is not appropriate to mobilize the cavalry of the Ashina Simo Division.

There is a big drought in our country this year, and there is also a drought in the northern grasslands, and the losses this year are also very large, and they will have a hard time this winter. Therefore, they have the motivation to invade south.

As far as Erchen knows, the Khan Yinan of the Xue Yantuo Department has recently annexed the remnants of the Eastern Turks on the steppe, and his strength has increased greatly, and there is the possibility of uniting the Qibi He Li Department and the Tiele Department to jointly advance into our Tang Dynasty.

The forces of these tribes were all cavalry, so it was not appropriate to transfer the cavalry of the Ashnasima tribe facing them at this time. ”

After Li Chengqian finished talking about the first question, he felt a little unsure, and quietly glanced at Li You.
