Chapter 204: Preparing for the Parade

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled when he saw Li Shimin's happiness: "My father wants to show that my Tang Dynasty has the heart of Rou Yidi, but I can't prevent them from provoking my Tang Dynasty authority without knowing the sky, so my son thought that he should also have a big military performance in front of Chengtianmen that day, and his father would personally review it."

Let the vassals also see the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty army, so that they will always be in awe. ”

Zhu Wei's martial arts?

……

……

During Li Shimin's reign, he went through the school of the army, but those were all things that he went to and then went to the local military camp to review the local army.

So when everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, thinking about the necessity of doing so.

After a while, Li Shimin said with a little hesitation: "Wouldn't this show the military situation of my Tang Dynasty in front of the various vassal states Yidi?"

It is understandable that Li Shimin thinks this way, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty more than 20 years ago, it has never stopped foreign wars, so no one has ever thought of using military exercises to show military power and deter barbarians.

"Exactly, in this way, once the guards perform martial arts, they must be rewarded with a large number of treasures." The newly appointed Shangshu Cheng Mingzhen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came out of the list, and now he is very sensitive to the affairs of the imperial court.

The other ministers also nodded when they heard this, saying that there was no need to hold a military drill for the guards when receiving Xue Yantuo's envoy.

But everyone finally looked at Li Chengqian and wanted to hear what he had to say, which was respect for him.

Li Chengqian first glanced at the ministers lightly, and then turned his head to look at Li Shimin, who was sitting next to him, and said: "My father is in power and is powerful in the world, so naturally I don't need to use martial arts to deter barbarians, but think about how many generations can my Tang Dynasty's Son of Heaven personally lead the army like my father in the future?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian's legs when he heard this, his face darkened slightly, and he reached out to touch Li Chengqian's shoulder and said, "Chengqian can say anything he wants to say!" ”

Li Shimin thought that Li Chengqian felt that he could not go out across the horse, so he came up with a method of Zhuwei to perform martial arts, and the ministers below also noticed this, some sighed in their hearts, and some felt that Li Chengqian had great wisdom and could not lead troops, and the Tang Dynasty was also as safe as Mount Tai.

When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin looking at his lap, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said in his heart: Which of your three sisters-in-law seems to be able to lead troops to fight?

Historically, since the death of Li Shimin, no emperor in the Tang Dynasty has been able to lead troops to fight, and the Li Tang royal family dared to use any soldiers in order to keep their wealth and wealth.

As a result, as soon as the Luoyang Hui was recovered, the Luoyang ladies did not want to be raped by the Hui soldiers, many people hid in the Buddhist pavilions of the Shengshan Temple and the White Horse Temple, and the Hui people set fire below, and the raging fire burned for several days, burning nearly 10,000 people.

However, at this time, Li Chengqian couldn't tell Li Shimin about this, so he could only suppress his anger and said: "Although the future emperor may not be able to personally lead the troops to gallop on the battlefield, but no matter what, you must also have the ability to train the troops." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and he felt very relieved to think of Li Chengqian's military training in the East Palace.

Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin agreed with his statement, so he continued: "Therefore, not only will we perform martial arts in front of Chengtianmen this time, but also form a custom military exercise every three years in the future, so that the world will know about the military preparation of the Tang Dynasty. ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Li Shimin was still thinking about the feasibility of this matter, but the ministers below were all shocked, the military department was still a high-ranking official!

Although the Tang Dynasty was not the official of later generations who took charge of themselves, and the death penalty could not be imposed for legislative corruption, but such a high substantive official did not rebel, and any crime he committed was to dismiss the official or be exiled......

"Isn't this matter a little too much for the Prince's Palace?" Zhu Suiliang was the first to stand up and express his puzzlement.

Li Shimin and other ministers also looked at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged and said: "Rites say: The major affairs of the country are in worship and precepts. After the Tang Dynasty, anyone and everything can come out for thousands of generations, and this move is just to prevent micro things and it is not too much. ”

Li Shimin thought about it after hearing this, slowly let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It is not unreasonable for Cheng Qian to worry. Then he turned his head to look at the ministers below, and finally fixed his eyes on the face of Li Daozong, who was eager, and said: "This martial arts exercise can be tested, and I plan with Zhu Qing." ”

Hearing this, the ministers below breathed a sigh of relief, and then several people began to be anxious again, now it is only a few days before Xue Yantuo enters Beijing, and everyone immediately reached a consensus in their hearts No matter what, the Tang Dynasty Zhuwei Yanwu cannot lose its prestige in front of the various Yidi feudal states.

---------------------

When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he summoned all the generals of the East Palace and told them that in a few days, the imperial court would perform a military performance in front of the Chengtian Gate.

The generals of the East Palace, except for Li Daliang, have no merits, and now they have such an opportunity to show their faces, so they are naturally very concerned.

On the same day, he began to formulate a training plan, and he trained the six rates of the East Palace in front of the Jiade Hall day and night.

Within two days, Xue Yantuo's envoy entered Chang'an City, and then the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple discussed the date of Li Shimin's summoning Xue Yantuo's envoy to seven days later, which was the day when Zhuwei practiced martial arts.

From this day on, the guards battalions that were guarding Chang'an City in turn began large-scale training, and the guards of the East Palace also began to train under the leadership of Li Chengqian.

Seeing that there are only three days left before the big martial arts, Li Cheng

Qian once again summoned the generals of the East Palace to the Chongjiao Hall for a meeting.

"Three days later, Zhuwei performed martial arts, and King Gu told Uncle Jiangxia yesterday that he would arrange for Zhuwei to practice together in Xuanwu Gate tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qizuo is ready, just waiting to practice with Zhu Wei." Su Dingfang said excitedly, and the others also looked at Li Chengqian excitedly.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say a few words of encouragement to everyone, but saw Li Daliang stand up and bow to him, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian has never seen Li Daliang like this, Li Daliang is a famous general of the generation and is fifty or sixty years old, and he has always been calm and unhurried in front of Li Shimin, and there must be bad news about him like this.

What makes Li Daliang embarrassed can know where the pressure comes from, Li Chengqian calmly looked at Li Daliang and didn't speak, Li Daliang also knew that Li Chengqian would know about this matter sooner or later, so he simply said directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the military department thinks that the East Palace guards have a great responsibility to protect the East Palace...... There is no need to participate in this exercise. ”

After Li Daliang finished speaking, he felt like a man's back, not only did Li Chengqian's gaze become majestic and fierce, but the eyes of several people in the hall were all staring at him like knives.

However, Li Daliang was killed by thousands of troops in the end, and he was very embarrassed when he didn't say it, and after saying it, he felt that it was already like this anyway, and the idea was not his idea, what did he tremble?

"Whose idea?"

Of course, Li Chengqian knew that it was not Li Daliang's idea.

Now the East Palace is very special, although several scholars of the Chongjiao Temple have gone to the Pingzhang Academy to be the master of the case, but the scholars in the Pingzhang Academy do not have the right to senate. Moreover, the Pingzhang Yuan is now in the Taiji Palace, and Li Chengqian no longer needs to look at the recitals they handled, and Li Chengqian can only ask them to bring the recitals they handled in the morning to the Chongjiao Hall every afternoon in the name of study, and Li Chengqian can only express his opinions at this time.

The matters jointly decided by the Ministry of War and Li Shimin bypassed the Pingzhang Academy, so even Su Dingfang didn't know.

Li Chengqian's mind was full of thoughts, but Li Daliang said calmly: "It is everyone's decision to return to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Majesty has agreed." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that Lu Guogong was also involved in this matter." Su Dingfang has been in the army for a long time, and you can guess who is who.

As soon as Cheng Yanjin returned to Chang'an City a few days ago, he was crowned by Li Shimin as the general of Zuotunwei, and the north gate of the imperial city was mainly responsible for the Anli Gate on the east side of the Xuanwu Gate, which was closer to the Xuande Gate, the north gate of the East Palace.

Li Chengqian understood what Su Dingfang meant, but Li Chengqian knew that there must be other meanings behind this matter.

After a while, Li Chengqian squinted at the front of the hall and slowly exhaled a breath, waved his hand to everyone and said, "Go down and prepare well, don't be ashamed when the time comes." ”

On the second day, the courtiers heard that Zhu Suiliang wrote to Li Shimin: The crown prince should study military affairs, and specially invited the crown prince's chariot as a deputy to review the army with the emperor Luan.

What does that mean?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to blatantly seize military power?

Li Shimin's emphasis on military power is a well-known thing among the ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Li Chengqian's making trouble within the East Palace is already a game of fire, and now he still wants to attack the military power of the guards, and he simply doesn't know how the dead word is written.

The ministers thought so......

For a while, there was a rumor in the middle of the wind, as if a storm was coming!
