Chang'an these days, there are a lot of people, they are all fleeing from around Chang'an, when the war comes, Chang'an must be much safer than the surroundings, this is something that the people know, so as long as there are relatives in Chang'an, the people have fled to Chang'an.

Such a big news can't be suppressed no matter how much it is suppressed, and the people also know that in the first battle, Datang failed, and lost 50,000 people! This is not a decimal number. Even many people have begun to worry, is it possible that the Tang Dynasty will be the same as the Sui Dynasty, and it will perish in less than a hundred years?

The defense of Chang'an these days is also extremely strict, and the time of the morning court has also increased by an hour every day, and now the ministers can receive the latest battlefield news every day, for example, in just a few days, the opponent's army has grown from 200,000 to 250,000! And among them there were 30,000 heavy cavalry!

In the current era, cavalry can be said to be the pinnacle of force, not to mention a heavy cavalry in armor and fully armed! This is exactly the equivalent of a tank for later generations!

Li Shimin calculated, these soldiers are almost three-fifths of the strength of the family! They're lonely now!

The ministers were a little incomprehensible, because the enemy rebels had already reached so many and began to occupy Hedong Road, but Li Shimin did not fight back at all, and even mobilized troops and horses, as if he was left to the other party to occupy!

When I heard that the other party already had 240,000 troops, the entire court was boiling! All the soldiers and horses of Datang together are only one million! In addition to the border defense and the guards in various places, there are only 400,000 soldiers and horses that can move! Among them, there are only 200,000 who can quickly join the war! How can this compete with the opponent's 240,000 army?

Even a different voice has appeared in the court, if the Ghost King Army had not been transferred away at the beginning, it should not be so difficult to fight compared to now! But now, even if you want to, it's too late for the Ghost King Army to be transferred back!

Li Shimin didn't seem to hear anything, the old god was sitting in the court, and only after seeing that the officials were almost discussed, Li Shimin said loudly: "Enough!" ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the court instantly quieted down, and they all looked at Li Shimin, waiting for Li Shimin's orders. Li Shimin's eyes looked around them, panic, calmness, hesitation, worry, anger, all kinds of expressions, and finally his eyes fell on Fang Xuanling's body and said, "Fang Qing, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin call his name, walked out among the civil officials, saluted with both hands: "The minister thinks that I will win in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

When these words came out, the court was in chaos again, and it was going to win? Even if you want to shoot the emperor's ass, it's not like this! Now that you count the remaining 90,000 troops of Hou Junji, it is only 200,000 troops! And what about the other side? Hou Junji killed 40,000 people, and the people immediately replenished to 240,000! Is there still a fight for this?

At this moment, many people looked at Fang Xuanling with strange eyes.

Li Shimin seems to be interested, oh? sighed, and then asked: "Fang Qing said to listen, how to win?" ”

Fang Xuanling saluted again: "Your Majesty! That Li Cui anti-army is just a team that has been temporarily pulled up, with empty numbers and no actual combat effectiveness! The reason why I dare to confront my Datang now is nothing more than because of a small victory before. When I start a counterattack in the Tang Dynasty, under a victory, the other party will definitely be a strong army! When the time comes, send someone to recruit An, and if you are divided, the rebels will be defeated! ”

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and said three good words in a row, before Li Shimin finished laughing, the eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the crowd and said softly: "Lord Fang's winning condition is based on a victory, but now that our side is in a weak position, how can we get a victory?" The opponent's troops are 40,000 more than ours! Master Fang, what is the concept of 40,000 people, don't you know? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji did not stop for a moment, and continued: "The army that my Datang can immediately support and mobilize now is only 200,000!" Even if the rest come, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness right away! The border guards around are even more immovable! Those thieves have now contacted Tubo and Goguryeo, and plan to come to meet with each other, in this case, how easy is it to win a victory? ”

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling sneered and said, "Then according to Lord Changsun's idea, we should surrender now?" ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his face turned red instantly, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Xuanling, you and you for a long time. Li Shimin still couldn't stand it, and said enough! The two of them then retreated. Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said, "How old are you, why are you still talking to a child?" ”

The two of them were silent, Li Shimin sighed and said: "I know that the two of you are for the good of Datang, but now it's for you to discuss countermeasures, not quarrels, understand?" ”

"Understood"

"Understood"

The two replied at the same time, Li Shimin smiled, seeing the worried eyes of many ministers in the court, Li Shimin chuckled and said: "Don't worry, it's just 240,000 thieves, I have my own way to deal with them!" Ladies and gentlemen, think about it now, when my Datang defeats the rebels, how to rein in and appease the people! ”

Hearing Li Shimin say so confidently, the ministers were a little incredible, what did you say? Do you have your own way? So why are you still calling us to work overtime? Could it be that we are afraid that we will not have faith, so they made up an excuse to cover us?

Probably not, after all, this excuse can't stand up to scrutiny!

Li Shimin saw that they were still a little unconvinced, and he didn't say anything, and said softly: "You don't need to know the details, you just need to understand, within a month!" I will destroy their more than 240,000 thieves! ”

If you didn't believe it before, now you don't believe it at all! Why? Because what Hou Junji said before is also that the rebellion will definitely be quelled within two months! The result? Do you see what the result is now? They were even more sure that the emperor was just stabilizing the morale of the army.

Li Chengqian listened to the government, but he didn't say a word, just stared at those hundred officials, secretly observing their expressions, this is what Su Bai taught him, usually pay more attention to his expressions, and the words that many people hide in their hearts are often expressed through their expressions.

Although Li Chengqian can't see all the micro-expressions like Su Bai now, he can also see all the micro-expressions. Looking at this, Li Chengqian understands that many ministers are just perfunctory on the surface, and they don't believe that Datang can win at all!

Li Chengqian's eyes were a little playful, and he looked at Li Shimin on the throne, and it happened that Li Shimin's eyes also looked over, and the father and son looked at each other, and their eyes were a little playful. In an instant, Li Chengqian understood that this was a purge!

Now they think that Datang will lose and the thief will win, so what should they do at this time? And what will you do? This is what Li Shimin wants to see!

It's just like when Su Bai asked Li Chengqian to pretend to be lame, and he saw people's hearts in times of crisis!

Only at this time can we see who is sincere and who is false! The father and son glanced at each other quickly, and then returned to their expressionless appearance before. Even Li Chengqian found that his father actually made a little emotional expression, which couldn't help but make Li Chengqian secretly praise the old fox, it seems that he has more to learn!

After the end of the early dynasty, Li Chengqian was walking out with the ministers, and Li Shimin's voice sounded behind him: "Chengqian, wait a minute"

Li Chengqian stopped, waved his hand with several ministers of his own faction, signaling them to go first, Li Chengqian stood still, looked back at Li Shimin, Li Shimin walked down from the throne, the little eunuch next to him followed behind, Li Shimin pointed to Li Chengqian in the direction outside the hall and said: "Go with my father"

"Yes, father," Li Chengqian saluted.

The two walked out of the palace gate, looking at the ministers who were drifting away, Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Cheng Qian, what do you think of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian said without thinking: "Prosperity!" There is a prosperous appearance! Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ministers who were going away in front of him, and said softly: "Cheng Qian, look at these ministers, our Datang can have today, and their efforts are inseparable, and in the same way, to have today's situation, and they are also inseparable, what do you think the father should do to them?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at those ministers who were far away, Li Chengqian naturally knew what his father meant, these ministers were all old men, and even many of them were old men of the Three Dynasties, who had been officials in the Sui Dynasty at the beginning!

He knew that his father had already murdered them!

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "Father, are you really sure of victory?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian also looked at him, Li Shimin smiled lightly and said, "What? Not convinced? Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Since my father said it, he must be sure of victory, since this is the case, then you might as well wait for two days."

Li Shimin shook his head and chuckled: "No, the anti-thieves have already gathered, and they are also afraid that I will deploy troops at the border pass, these days, they will definitely attack!" Now Hou Junji is taking the army to contain and switch the attack and defense, tomorrow, my 110,000 army will almost support it, and the other party will definitely attack! Can't wait."

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Father, since this is the case, if they have any action, they will definitely act tonight, and ...... then."

Li Chengqian said that there is something that he can't say anymore, because after that, it will be a bloody story!

Li Shimin chuckled and said, "You have worked hard to win over so many ministers, don't blame your father for killing the wrong person when the time comes!" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Please also ask my father and emperor to see it, but my son does not..."

Before Li Chengqian's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Shimin, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, I'm not a fool, can't I see these things?" I don't blame you, you are the crown prince, and this year is not too young, and some of your own thoughts should also be said."

Li Chengqian felt that his back was full of cold sweat, what did Li Shimin mean by this? Is it beating yourself? In the end, Li Chengqian did not get an answer.

Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder lightly and said: "Chengqian, your father and emperor also came here at your age, and I know what you are thinking, after this incident is over, Qingque will not be able to threaten you, let him stay in Chang'an?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't say a word when he heard the words and stayed in Chang'an? The adult prince has to go to the fiefdom, and only he stays in Chang'an! This is originally a kind of grace, and there is no threat to yourself, so you have to stay in Chang'an? What do those ministers think?

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't answer, Li Shimin sighed, and then said: "I also know what you're worried about, but it's all unnecessary, you are the crown prince!" It's my prince! The future of this Datang will definitely be inherited by you, you don't need to worry about anything."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved, this was the first time Li Shimin told him with such certainty that the future of the Tang Dynasty would be inherited by him, after some hesitation, Li Chengqian still nodded and said: "Father's hard work, sons and daughters understand, Qingque, just stay in Chang'an."

When Li Shimin heard this, he leaked a relieved smile, and when he spoke, all the ministers had already walked out of the palace wall, Li Shimin stretched out his right hand, felt the spring breeze that was already warm, and said softly: "Chengqian, you are also seventeen years old this year, and the marriage should be decided!" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, according to history, Li Chengqian's marriage should have been decided a long time ago, probably because Su Bai, the little butterfly, flapped his wings, Li Chengqian in this life is seventeen years old and has not yet decided on the candidate for the crown princess!

Although Li Chengqian was a little surprised, but as the crown prince, this kind of thing must not be decided by him, he nodded lightly and said: "Everything, let my father decide!" ”

Li Shimin snorted, and then said softly: "After a while, I will go back and discuss with your queen mother, and in a few days, after the rebellion is quelled, let your queen mother choose a suitable candidate for the crown princess for you."

Li Chengqian saluted with both hands: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at the sky and asked, "Cheng Qian, if those ministers really do something that is outside the mouth, how do you think I should be good to them?" ”

After Li Chengqian hesitated, he still said: "If you collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, the nine clans will punish you!" ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Good! This is my good prince! Hahahaha! ”

When Li Chengqian returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already noon, and his mind was a little confused, and what he thought for a while was that Li Shimin definitely told him that he would be the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty! For a while, I thought that there would be a big purge in the court, and the pattern might change again.

The last thing I thought about was that it wouldn't be long before Empress Changsun would find him a crown princess, and he would have to live with a woman he didn't know for the rest of his life......
