Chapter 66: In front of the Garter Palace

Watching Xiao Yu go to Li Shimin in a hurry, Li Chengqian smiled like a bad uncle who deceived a child of candy.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was gone, Hao Chujun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that the disaster relief grain should indeed be sent out by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but now the grain transported from Luoyang has not yet arrived due to the heavy snowfall, and the disaster relief is still being carried out everywhere, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot give food to the East Palace for the time being, and the food in Luoyang will be returned to the East Palace as soon as it arrives." ”

Li Chengqian listened to it and thought about it, there was no way, he could only look at the situation on Xiao Yu's side, even if Xiao Yu's side couldn't get money and food, the year would be almost over, and everything would be fine after the New Year.

Li Chengqian asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he went back to Cheng'en Hall to play with Li Xiang.

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

The next day, Li Chengqian received Li Shimin's order to go out of the city to appease the victims, and Li Chengqian received the order only to know that nearly 10,000 victims had gathered outside the city, and hurriedly summoned a group of henchmen from the East Palace to go out of the city.

As soon as Li Chengqian's car came out of Qixiamen, he looked out of the curtain and saw the boundless ragged victims squatting at the base of the uncovered city wall, and Li Chengqian's heart sank suddenly.

Fortunately, he had experience before, and hurriedly arranged for people to go to the city to find tents and food.

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

When Li Shimin heard that Li Chengqian had gone out of the city, he saw that there was nothing important in the small court, so he hurriedly took the officials of the small court and Empress Li to the East Palace.

Li Shimin wanted to come to the East Palace when he returned to Chang'an City at the end of November, because he didn't want to see Li Chengqian endure not coming, but until yesterday he heard Xiao Yu say that Li Chengqian had such a big book repair plan, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly rushed to the East Palace with more than a dozen officials from the small court.

When Li Shimin walked to the gate of the Guardian Gate, he heard the neat slogan "one, two, three, four" coming from the Guardian Hall Square inside.

Yu Zhining came to greet them with the officials from the left and right Chunfang, Li Shimin frowned inadvertently when he saw them, Li Chengqian went out of the city to appease the victims, these officials should be accompanied by the car, and thought: If the prince doesn't let you enter the Chongjiao Gate, won't he let you follow?

This action was seen by Cui Renshi, thinking that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the movement from the square in front of the Jiade Palace, and he was overjoyed, and he quietly thought about what to say when he arrived at the square in front of the Jiade Palace.

Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, and walked directly into the Chongjiao Gate, and everyone hurriedly followed.

It's just that as soon as they entered the Chongjiao Gate, they were so shocked by the situation in front of them that they couldn't close their mouths.

I saw four phalanxes of 1,000 people, walking in a row, their pace was exactly the same, their movements were almost identical, and from the position where Li Shimin was standing, the rows of soldiers stood as straight and neat as a ruler.

Li Shimin and many people behind him often go to the training ground, and they usually let the soldiers go in the school field, even if they can't stand so neatly.

Looking at these Li Shimin couldn't help but stop, seeing those soldiers moving forward from east to west, and seeing that they were about to walk in front of the Guardian Gate, suddenly someone shouted "One, two, three, four!" according to a certain rhythm! One, two, three, four! This is a strange slogan, but if you look closely, you can find that the movements of the soldiers are more consistent as soon as the slogan is shouted, and you know that this is the person who leads the team to adjust the rhythm.

This kind of military training has never been seen by Li Shimin and the officials behind him, but Li Shimin looked at it for a while and saw the problem that Su Dingfang saw, that is, the lack of morale and bravery.

"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said to the attendants beside him: "Find their general!" Li Shimin behaved very casually, because he wanted to instruct these people to train, and let these people know that this little carving insect skill was nothing in front of him Li Shimin.

After a while, Pei Xingjian and Wang Fangyi walked in front of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin and the ministers behind him did not expect that it was two such young "children" who trained these 4,000 people so strictly.

"Shi Pei Xingjian, the head of the left prison gate of the Chendong Palace (Shi Wang Fangyi, the head of the right prison gate), see the emperor." The two saluted in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked indifferent, and said lightly: "The two Qing families are flat." ”

"Your Majesty, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you will be hanged if you perform Wudang in front of the emperor without permission, the Jiade Hall is an important place in the East Palace, and the prince and the emperor's grandsons often go in and out from here, these two people have thousands of soldiers to die here to train their troops, in case someone plots against the evil intentions, the consequences are unpredictable and the blessing of the society, please send a decree to reprimand the prince, and severely punish the general who is not subordinate in the ten rates of the East Palace." Choi In-shi impeached him with a sonorous and forceful voice.

The ministers behind couldn't see Li Shimin's face, and they didn't dare to speak rashly, but fortunately, Pei Xingjian's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

stepped forward and said loudly: "Why did Lord Cui come up with such a heart-wrenching argument, in the early years of Zhenguan, His Majesty also took all the guards to practice riding and archery here, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince imitates His Majesty to train here, but he is just thinking of danger and not forgetting the military affairs, why is it said that he is plotting against him?"

What is your intention to separate the father and son of the Heavenly Family?"

Li Shimin and the other ministers couldn't help but laugh when they saw this young general's sharp resignation.

"Humph! The old man said that you and other villains had evil intentions to lure the prince into not doing political affairs, and played with you and other small people all day long. Cui Renshi was scolded and angry, and took out the original Li Chengqian's actions to tell the story.

Pei Xingjian sneered twice when he heard this: "It's really a crime to add to it, the prince's palace loves the people like a son, who in Chang'an City doesn't know, you actually said that His Royal Highness the prince plays with the little ones all day long?"

It is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often worries and says that even if the country is stable, he cannot listen to all the ministers, and the words of the ministers must not be fully believed, and whoever believes the words of the ministers will inevitably perish the country and the species.

The minister has never dared to believe that when he saw Lord Cui today, he knew what the Prince's Palace said! ”

As soon as Pei Xingjian's words came out, Li Shimin and the ministers who came with him all changed their faces, and the civil and military disputes were already involved here.

"Humph! Lord Cui, you are too much, you open your mouth to say that the prince is playing with the little people all day long, you must know that His Royal Highness the prince is still outside the city to pacify the victims! Xiao Yu and Zhang Shiheng, who were left behind in the East Palace, came to greet him, Xiao Yu heard Cui Renshi slandering Li Chengqian, but Pei Xingjian was talking just now and did not speak, as soon as Pei Xingjian stopped, Xiao Yu immediately stood up and retorted.

As soon as Li Shimin saw that they were about to start arguing again, he hurriedly said: "I came to the East Palace today to see the emperor's grandson, and I heard that the emperor's grandson has been studying in the Chongxian Pavilion for the past few days, so Qing and the others will go to the Chongxian Pavilion with me. ”

Li Shimin said that he walked forward first, but as he walked, he kept looking at the soldiers who were resting in place.

Leading troops to fight is Li Shimin's profession, if he didn't want to quickly seize Li Chengqian's right to repair books, and he was afraid that the ministers behind him would hinder him, he really wanted to learn more about Pei Xingjian's military training and then point out the country.

However, when he looked at it, he found that a little soldier was very familiar, and found that the little soldier was also looking at him, and if he looked closely, wasn't it Li Su.

Hurriedly stood up and beckoned to Li Su: "Li Su, come here!" ”

Li Su saw that he hurriedly ran to Li Shimin, and saluted: "The son of the emperor sees his father!" ”

"What's the matter with you? How did you get it like this?" Li Shimin pointed at him and asked.

Li Su scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this: "The eldest brother said that Erchen lacked discipline, so let Erchen train and eat together with the soldiers, and he had to pass the assessment." ”

"Oh, then you're so obedient?" Li Shimin is interested, you have to know Li Su's.

"The third brother also trained with Erchen, but today the eldest brother went out of the city and asked him to watch the victims in the city cut wood." In Li Su's opinion, his third brother Li Ke is also willing to do it, that is right.

"If you two don't go back to their respective palaces, you will stay in the East Palace and train with the soldiers?" But Li Shimin obviously has other ideas about this.

"The third brother told his sons that the eldest brother will send troops for us to conquer the countries of the South China Sea and the East China Sea in the future, and the places conquered are all overseas, that is, our feudal country, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will send the people of the Tang Dynasty to our vassal country to farm, so we must practice our skills." Li Su didn't fully understand what Li Chengqian meant.

"This is nonsense, the countries of the East China Sea and the South China Sea have always been in harmony with the Tang Dynasty and are far away at sea, how can they conquer for no reason?" Cen Wenwen criticized loudly.

"There's nothing to conquer, it's just that the people of the Tang Dynasty can't move out easily." What Li Shimin lacks most now is manpower.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often says that the country is stable for a long time, and the population is growing rapidly, and when the time comes, the crops grown in the Tang Dynasty will not be able to feed so many people, and the world will be in chaos, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to let the kings go to sea." Pei Xingjian hurriedly explained to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and Zhu Suiliang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's distraction to your younger brothers is really rare!" ”

Li Shimin also nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

From Li Shimin's reaction since he entered the East Palace, Cen Wenwen, Cui Renshi and Wei Ting saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were cold, and it was impossible to expect Li Shimin to deal with Li Chengqian if they continued like this.
