After Qin Qiong arrived, Li Su couldn't wait to go home after finishing the defense with him.

Well, after coming out for several months, Li Su missed his daughter-in-law a little.

However, he was dragged by Qin Qiong and forcibly delayed him for half a month.

Qin Qiong has just arrived, and he hasn't even figured out the situation, where is the reason to let him go easily?

The king of Shu easily fought down the good situation, if he Qin Qiong had an accident as soon as he came, then his old face really had no place to put it.

There was no way, Li Su had to explain the current situation to Qin Qiong in detail.

The most important thing, of course, is the relationship with Persian security.

At this time, Qin Qiong found that Li Su had gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Persia.

And although these 50,000 soldiers and horses are new soldiers, they already have some soldiers under the training of the King of Shu.

And the military discipline of the king of Shu is strict, and the army of the king of Shu is actually deeply loved by the local Persian people.

Hearing that the king of Shu was leaving, the Persian people were reluctant to come to see him off.

This scene couldn't help but make Qin Qiong look at the King of Shu with admiration.

There is no fluke in success, it seems that the King of Shu can achieve such an achievement, it is not in vain.

In the past half a month, Qin Qiong has actually focused on one thing.

That is to stare at the steam tricycle for research.

The steam three wheels were the main contributors to the victory of the King of Shu this time.

Of course, Qin Qiong also knows that weapons are only one of the aspects that determine the direction of a war.

But the steam tricycle is absolutely indispensable.

After studying the characteristics of the steam tricycle in an all-round way, Qin Qiong immediately fell in love with the steam tricycle.

If he had a thousand steam tricycles in his hands, cooperating with cavalry and infantry, Qin Qiong dared to guarantee that he would definitely be able to gallop across the battlefield and be invincible.

So, Qin Qiong opened his mouth and asked Li Su for three rounds of steam.

"Hey, hey, hey! Your Highness, what, let's have a discussion, you see, the relationship between our Datang and Dashi is so tense now! You leave a thousand steam tricycles for me Lao Qin! ”

Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Li Su's nose was about to be crooked.

Is the relationship between Datang and Dashi tense now?

Didn't you see the big food over there, and you were scared of something?

If you don't bully them, they'll have to recite Amitabha.

If you still want a thousand steam tricycles, is it so natural?

Can we have a face?

Li Su couldn't help but say with a dark face: "No! General Qin, you also know, my 50,000 troops in Yizhou will return soon, and I will give you 1,000 steam tricycles, how can I go back? ”

Qin Qiong looked at Li Su with blazing eyes and said, "It's okay, I can give you a thousand war horses—no, five thousand!" ”

Li Su rolled his eyes and said, "Don't change!" ”

Qin Qiong glared and said, "Your Highness, I'm still your father-in-law!" When you first married Mengxin, you didn't pay a dowry yet! These 1,000 steam tricycles should be regarded as your dowry! ”

These old things, sure enough, are not good things, and when they see good things, they don't even want their faces.

In the end, Li Su reluctantly left Qin Qiong with a hundred steam tricycles.

The most infuriating thing is that leaving the steam tricycle is not over, Qin Qiong still wants a driver, and even the soldiers equipped on the steam tricycle want to stay together.

Without these people, they also need to train drivers, and soldiers also need to run in.

If you go directly to the original team, even the run-in effort is saved.

However, how could Li Su agree to such an impudent request?

was directly rejected by Li Su.

There was no way, Qin Qiong had no choice but to select three thousand soldiers from the army and learn the various points of driving and attacking.

Before leaving, Li Su could still hear Qin Qiong muttering.

"Boy, you just have fun, this is not Cheng Da fool! If Cheng Da fool comes, he won't leave you 500 cars, and I will have your surname! ”

Hearing this, Li Su thought it was true.

Yi Cheng bites Jin's shameless temperament, if he comes this time, he will have to grab five hundred steam three-wheelers.

Half a month later, Li Su and Qin Qiong said goodbye, returned to their hearts like arrows, and roared away with an army of 2,900 steam tricycles.

When I came, it took five days, and when I went back, it took half a month.

Well, there is no way, who let him fight all the way to Persia!

This journey, if it is used, will take a month or two.

An army of 50,000, led by Li Su and Xue Rengui, went directly into Tuyuhun.

And Li Su himself took Li Yuanfang and other fifty guards and went directly to Chang'an.

Although Li Su's heart is like an arrow, he must also go through the procedures and report to Li Shimin before he can return to Yizhou.

After Li Su returned to Chang'an, instead of being received heroically, he was not welcomed.

Well, first of all, if it is other generals who have made this great achievement.

Because this is the credit of expanding the territory, maybe Li Shimin will personally greet him with hundreds of civil and military officials.

But because he is a prince, of course Li Shimin can't do this.

So, there was no welcoming ceremony.

Secondly, after those generals saw Li Su, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes, and they looked very disgusted.

Especially Cheng Yanjin, it came directly to Li Su's face.

"It's not like that, it's not like that! Your Highness, if you eat meat, at least let us have a mouthful of soup, right? Don't even let people drink the soup? Hum! It's not so dry! ”

Not to mention Cheng Biting Jin, even Wei Chi Jingde next to him has a nose that is not a nose, and his face is not a face.

Li Su was inexplicable: "Uncle Cheng, what am I doing?" Please, can you make it clear? ”

As a result, Cheng Yanjin directly ignored him.

"It's not like that! Hum! ”

……

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

"Haha, my unicorn is here, hurry up! Tell me carefully about all the experiences of this expedition. ”

In fact, Li Su has already reported these experiences in the report, but Li Shimin still wants to hear Li Su say it again.

Li Su was not polite, he cleared his throat at the moment, and spoke vividly.

And with this story, everyone found the problem.

At this time, they found out that the reason why the King of Shu was able to win a big victory was definitely not just because of the simple steam three wheels.

If it were only with three rounds of steam, he would never have achieved such a big victory.

The main reason is that the King of Shu has too strong control over the battle situation.

I know everything about everything.

Many of those present had led soldiers to fight.

They know this very well.

But even if they led the troops, it was impossible to know so many details.

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "King Shu, how do you know the details of the enemy so clearly?" ”

Li Su would not reply: "Father Qiqi, this is all the credit of the Huya Special Combat Team under the subordinates of Erchen!" The duty of the Huya Special Combat Team is to spy on intelligence and conduct intelligence warfare. All this information is due to them. ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head.

Then, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Su'er, if our entire army of the Tang Dynasty is all equipped with steam three-wheelers, will it be invincible?" Invincible? ”

After a deep sigh, Li Su couldn't help but say: "Father, the steam three-wheeler actually still has certain defects, and after the son-in-law goes back, he is going to improve it and transform the three-wheeled into a four-wheeler." ”

"In this way, the stability is better, it is not easy to roll over, and the detailed combat effectiveness will be stronger than that of the steam three-wheeler."

Erchen believes that if the Tang army is all equipped with steam chariots, it will be invincible and invincible. However, the steam chariot was expensive. ”

"If you want all the Tang Dynasty troops to be equipped with steam chariots, the military expenditure required is an astronomical amount."

After listening to Li Su's words, Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, then after you go back, you will focus on steam locomotives." After the research is successful, the focus will be on the border troops on the border. ”

"Yes, Father!"

Li Shimin nodded, and then couldn't help but ask Li Su: "Su'er, this battle is over, I don't know what you think, what is still missing in my Tang Army?" ”

When the emperor is the emperor, he wants to be the emperor of the ages and leave a name in history.

Now that Li Su has the strategy of strengthening the army, Li Shimin's desire is even stronger.

After thinking for a while, Li Su couldn't help but say: "Father, my sons think that I should strengthen my study in the Tang Army. Of course, not limited to the military"

"Studying?" Li Shimin asked puzzledly, "What to study?" ”

Li Su said solemnly: "Father, it's science!" ”

"Through this war, my father can see that our victory is in the three rounds of steam."

"And the manufacture of steam tricycles requires cutting-edge technology!"

"If it is Dashi or other countries that make the steam tricycle, instead of my Datang, my father can think about it, what kind of danger will my Datang face?"

When he thought about changing roles, even Li Shimin was scared out of a cold sweat.

That's right, if it is replaced, Datang will definitely suffer a big loss.

Li Su continued: "And the steam three-wheeled vehicle is actually just an entry-level chariot. With the steam tricycle in our Datang, other countries will be able to develop more advanced chariots. ”

"If other countries research more powerful chariots, then my Datang will fall behind, and if I fall behind, I will be beaten!"

"And science and technology are not limited to the study of chariots, but also the study of the national economy and people's livelihood, and can also enrich the country and strengthen the army!"

"Once other countries are more technologically advanced than us, then their national power will crush us, and we will fall behind, and we will fall behind-"

"You're going to be beaten."

After listening to Li Su's words, for a while, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten!

If it weren't for this war, probably Li Shimin would not have had such a profound feeling.

And now, it's really realized.

Because Datang is more advanced than them, because Datang has steam three-wheelers.

Therefore, Da Shi is behind them, and he must be beaten obediently.

What if, Dashi's technology is more advanced than Datang?

When the time comes, won't those who are beaten become Datang?

So, technology is really important!

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "This matter, next time in the morning, you can brainstorm to see if you should vigorously promote science and technology!" If you want to promote, how should you promote, and what strength should you achieve! ”

All the ministers are human spirits.

Listening to the emperor's meaning, it is necessary to vigorously promote science and technology.

It's just that how strong this promotion will be depends on how far the emperor wants to promote.

At this time, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji stand up.

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu only brought 50,000 troops to the expedition this time, not only to drive the Great Food Army out of my Tang Dynasty, but also to take Persia, expand the territory, and raise the prestige of our country!"

"The king of Shu has worked hard and made great achievements, and all kinds of rewards are!"

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji deeply.

In the main hall, the other ministers all had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

This eldest grandson Wuji, with a smile on his face, is not a good thing.

Now that the King of Shu has become the Jiedu envoy of the entire Jiannan Dao, no other prince has such a big fief.

Including Li Shimin's favorite, Li Tai, the king of Wei who stayed by his side all day, did not have such a big fief.

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji has come forward and suggested rewarding the King of Shu, what else can the emperor reward him now?

This eldest grandson Wuji wants to let the King of Shu arouse Li Shimin's suspicion.

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said: "The auxiliary machine is reasonable, the king of Shu has made great contributions, if you don't reward it, it will chill the hearts of those meritorious ministers!" ”

"I have decided to crown the King of Shu as the King of Zhennan, and the entire Jiannan Province as his fief, hereditary replacement."

Rumble!

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, they immediately caused a storm in the entire court.

The four words hereditary reckless replacement are really too sensitive.

You just say that the current prince will be crowned a prince when he becomes an adult.

But their sons will be demoted to the king of the county, and so on.

Many of Li Yuan's sons have been demoted.

Li Shimin's son, now the prince, but their son.

Even, after the new emperor ascends the throne, they may be demoted immediately.

Even if it is the title of the prince, there is no clear hereditary replacement.

And now, at the suggestion of the eldest grandson Wuji, the emperor actually crowned the king of Shu as the king of Zhennan, and gave him the entire Jiannan Province as a fief, hereditary replacement.

If this is really the case, this Zhennan King will be unique among the princes!

If he is not the emperor in the future, then after the new emperor ascends the throne, the king of Zhennan will inevitably become a separatist force that will not be shaken off.

The existence of King Zhennan is also bound to bring some hidden dangers to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Unless, Li Shimin wants to make King Nan of Crazy Town the crown prince and let him inherit the throne in the future.

At this time, even the eldest grandson Wuji was very shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect that the emperor would reward the king of Shu like this.

Since the death of Empress Changsun, the crown prince Li Chengqian has completely let go of himself, which is absurd, and Li Shimin dislikes.

has even revealed that he wants to abolish the crown prince.

And now, once the King of Shu is really named the King of Zhennan, then the position of the crown prince is really dangerous.

After the crown prince was abolished, the most likely successor to the throne was originally only Li Tai, the king of Wei.

And now?

In addition to Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li Su, the king of Shu, has also become a strong contender.

Even, the possibility of Li Su, the king of Shu, is much greater than that of Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Although Li Tai, the king of Wei, is also the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji, this nephew is not close to him.

Even every time I saw him, he was very arrogant and rude.

The eldest grandson Wuji was extremely suspicious that if Li Tai, the king of Wei, ascended the throne, he would definitely have no good fruits to eat in the future.

And if it is the king of Shu who ascends the throne, then let alone it.

The two sides were originally opposed, and he repeatedly opposed the King of Shu.

After the king of Shu ascended the throne, where was his foothold?

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but begin to regret it, he really shouldn't have provoked the emperor just now.

So much so that now, there is a result that I least want to see.

Once the King of Shu is named the King of Zhennan, then the position of the prince is really precarious.

But this proposal, which he himself put forward, and he himself categorically could no longer oppose it.

And the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but hint at his henchmen with his eyes, signaling them to come forward to oppose it.

At this moment, Li Su stood up and said in a deep voice: "Father, the sons have just done a little insignificant thing, which are all things that the sons should do. ”

"And the father's reward is too heavy, and the sons think they can't afford it, so they ask their father to bear it."

Li Shimin sneered: "Can't afford it? Why can't afford it? Meritorious service is rewarded, and there is punishment for faults! This is my promise to the people of the world, and you don't need to say it anymore. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not, Your Majesty! Hereditary recklessness is a matter of great importance, and this head cannot be opened! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! This matter is a big matter, and I hope that the emperor will be three or four! ”

"Please also ask the emperor to take back his order!"

"Please also ask the emperor to take back his order!"

Someone took the lead, and one by one the ministers came out to beg Li Shimin to take back his fate.

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile, and suddenly got up and asked, "You guys, are you forcing me?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

Syllable!

Li Shimin slapped the table and said sharply: "Hmph! You don't dare! ”

"This matter, I have made up my mind, three days later, there will be a sealing ceremony to retreat from the dynasty!"

After the retreat, the ministers dispersed.

There was a lot of talk along the way.

And Li Su looked a little helpless.

It was all caused by the old man of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In fact, he doesn't want any hereditary replacement!

Don't even want to be the king of Zhennan.

Now Li Shimin is still in the prime of his youth, and once he becomes the king of Zhennan, he will immediately become a thorn in the side of the crown prince and Li Tai.

will be mired in the mire of taking the heir.

And now, Li Su just wants to make a fortune in silence.

Now, it's not yet time for him to step to the stage!

And Li Shimin's move caught him off guard.

……

That night, inside the East Palace.

The crown prince Li Chengqian was limping on one leg and was smashing things in the room.

The vases and decorations in the room were all smashed by him.

At this time, his face was full of anger, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, like a fierce beast that wanted to choose people to devour.

"Father, you deceive people too much!"

"Li Su, hum! You're so fast, can't you wait? ”

"Are you going to step on your brother to take the throne?"

"It's a pity that the result will disappoint you, your brother is not dead yet! When is your turn? ”

In the past, when Li Shimin smashed things, he still had a satisfactory heart to persuade him.

But because Li Chengqian was too ridiculous, after being beaten to death by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian became even more perverse.

Now, when Li Chengqian lost his temper, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

"Someone, call in Gang Chengji."

Su Gan Chengji is Li Chengqian's bodyguard and has won Li Chengqian's trust.

Many things that Li Chengqian did that were inconvenient were all handed over to Su Gan Chengji.

Even such a major matter as assassinating others, Li Chengqian would hand it over to him.

After a while, Ugan Chengji walked in.

"Your Highness, are you looking for a subordinate?"

Li Chengqian looked at Su Gan Chengji, and Sen Ran said: "Su Gan Chengji, you go and help Gu Wang kill someone." ”

Su Gan Chengji couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, I don't know who you want me to kill?" ”

Li Chengqian Senran said: "You take people, and you will kill Li Su, the king of Shu, to the lonely king tonight!" ”

"Father actually wants to go crazy with my good brother as the king of Zhennan, and hand over the entire Jiannan Dao to him, hereditary replacement!"

"After the lone king ascends the throne, he will inevitably become the scourge of the lone king! Even, with him, the lone king may not have a chance to ascend the throne! Therefore, the Lone King ordered you to get rid of him now! ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's order, Su Gan Chengji couldn't help frowning tightly.

Assassinate Li Su, the king of Shu!

Whether it succeeds or not, it is difficult to save this little life.

Moreover, this is a great sin of the Nine Clans!

At this time, Su Gan Chengji also had resentment against the crown prince Li Chengqian.

The guards of the people, following the master, are fragrant and spicy.

And it's good for him to follow such a master.

There is no good thing to be gained, and when there is danger, this lord is the first to think of them.

If something happens, they'll be pushed out of the top tank!

Su Gan Chengji couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "Your Highness, the King of Shu must be heavily guarded, it's not easy to start!" ”

"Once you fail, your subordinates will naturally needless to say, and even Your Highness will be implicated! Think twice about Your Highness! ”

Li Chengqian stared at Su Gan Chengji coldly, and soon fine sweat appeared on Su Gan Chengji's forehead.

This guy is a madman, no one knows what he will do in the next moment.

Li Chengqian sneered: "Do you all think that the Lone King has lost power, and now even a small guard doesn't take the Lone King in his eyes?" ”

Su Gan Chengji was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff, and the two hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't dare, my subordinates don't dare, please forgive your highness!" ”

Li Chengqian sneered: "You can rest assured, the Lone King is a person who misses the old, as long as you do this well, the Lone King will not forget you!" Go ahead! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Walking out of the prince's study, Su Gan Chengji was a little distracted.

This time, he had to go.

However, by the side of the King of Shu, how could there be no little guarding power?

If he doesn't go, the prince will definitely clean him up, and his fate will be very miserable.

If he goes, once he fails and is caught, what awaits him may be the result of the Nine Clans.

The end will be even more miserable!

Now, what should he do?

In the end, Su Gan inherited the foundation and made the final decision!

First of all, according to the prince's arrangement, he sent a team of people to assassinate the King of Shu!

And he himself did not follow the ranks of these people, but quietly came out of the ranks.
