Chapter 63: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
In the face of the persuasion of the ministers, Li Shimin once again hesitated in his heart.
Li Shimin has always had a stalk in his heart, he has used disgraceful means to become the emperor, and he doesn't want it to happen to his son again.
Since ancient times, he has been young and orderly, and in his heart, the crown prince Li Chengqian is his eldest son, and he should inherit his throne in the future.
Therefore, since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he did not hesitate to immediately set up his eldest son as the crown prince.
He invited the best teacher to educate and train the prince, although the prince had a lot of discomfort and was not very satisfied with the prince in his heart, but he never moved the heart of Yi Chu.
But this time, what the prince did really made him angry. For the sake of a mere pair of slaves, 100,000 yuan dared to smash down, and the Tang Dynasty's rivers and mountains were handed over to him, which really made him feel uneasy.
and the actions of Li Tai, the king of Wei, also made him very disappointed.
Li Taicai, the king of Wei, was talented and intelligent, which made Li Shimin very fond of him, so he showed great favor to Li Tai, the king of Wei.
However, Li Shiming was very reluctant to see that Li Tai, the king of Wei, had thoughts of indifference because of his love for him.
This is a red line, and if this red line is crossed, Li Shimin will absolutely not allow it.
But apparently Li Tai, the king of Wei, had crossed the red line, so Li Shimin was very angry.
Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his other son, Li Ke, the king of Shu, the reason why he named him Li Ke at the beginning meant that he should abide by his duty.
But Li Shimin always felt that he could see his own shadow in him.
Of all the sons, this one was the most like him and the one who was most satisfied with him.
It's a pity that he was born to Concubine Yang, and he has half of the royal blood of the previous dynasty, and no minister will support him.
Sometimes Li Shimin thinks that if he was born to the eldest grandson queen, how good it would be! Maybe in that case, he would really make an exception and make him the crown prince.
"What? My father really wants to depose me, the crown prince, no, it's impossible, my father won't do this. "In the East Palace Prince's Mansion, Prince Li Chengqian looked panicked.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, these words came from the mouth of Zhao Guogong, can this still be fake? Zhao Guogong is your maternal uncle! ”
"What should I do? What should I do? No, Lone immediately entered the palace, went to ask his father for his guilt, went to plead with his father, and came to ....... ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't enter the palace, Your Majesty is angry now, and it will not be good for you to enter the palace at this time, it will only anger Your Majesty even more and make him make up his mind to abolish the reserve."
"So what should I do? What do you say Lonely? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have made a decision as soon as possible, and if you continue to make decisions, you will suffer from it, and for now, you can only invite the father of the crown princess to come over and discuss the way together, and only the father of the crown princess can help you overcome this difficulty."
Li Zhonghua didn't know that because of his appearance, a palace coup was quietly brewing.
The bored Li Zhonghua was in a mountain forest outside the service, with a group of his concubines by his side, and standing in front of them were the three hundred guards who had recently been recruited.
Li Zhonghua is teaching these people to stand in line.
"Stand upright!"
"Take a break!"
"Look to the left!"
"Count!"
After the report was completed, Li Zhonghua shouted again: "Turn left and walk forward in unison." ”
In front of it is a stream, two or three meters wide, and the spring cold is steep at this time, and the stream is cold and biting.
The man who walked in front stopped.
"Why did the people in front stop?" Li Zhonghua said loudly.
"Report that there is a stream ahead of you, blocking the way."
"What did I just say, go forward bravely, even if there is a cliff in front of you, you must walk bravely over, your duty is to obey the order, unconditionally obey the order of the superior, even if the superior tells you to die, you must die immediately, do you understand."
There was silence at the scene, the job paid very well, but they didn't expect that the training was so hard, and now they would have to die at any time.
"If you can't do it, you can quit, I don't want to take in some people here, and if you encounter difficulties, you have to retreat, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of asking you." Li Zhonghua said loudly.
Soon, more than half of those who quit accounted for it, and only about 100 people insisted on staying.
However, Li Zhonghua was not unhappy, and he continued to give orders to let the rest continue training.
The person in front stepped into the stream without hesitation, and the deepest water in the stream had reached the arms and legs, and it was cold and biting.
Li Zhonghua did not hesitate, and also stepped across the stream, on the opposite side of the stream, he ordered everyone to stand in formation, still shouting the password loudly.
"Stand upright!"
"Take a break!"
"Look to the right!"
"Count!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
……
The guards saw that Li Zhonghua was also like them, his trousers and shoes and socks were wet, standing in the cold wind like a benchmark, all the complaints in his heart had disappeared, and all that was left was a resolute expression on his face.
Back in the camp, Li Zhonghua had already ordered someone to prepare ginger soup for the trained guards to drink, and also prepared hot water for the guards to soak their feet.
"Sir! How can you be like them, do you have frostbite feet? A group of women said worriedly.
"Although I am their superior, if I can't share the same ups and downs as them, they will be afraid of you at most for the sake of money, but they will definitely not obey you in their hearts.
So I have to do it so that they will be convinced of me, and it will work much better than buying them with money. Li Zhonghua said with a smile.
"What about those who are eliminated? Let them go home? ”
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and those who are eliminated can be arranged to be ordinary guards, look at the gate and the like, it's still okay.
Tomorrow we will continue to recruit a group of guards, and we will select a group of elites to come out, strictly follow the training content I gave, train them, and make them absolutely obey orders.
Any other combat training, you will train according to the method you have set for yourself. ”
Li Zhonghua's purpose was very simple: to select a group of elites and train them in accordance with the training methods of the special forces of later generations.
If you want to earn wealth, you have the means, but if you have wealth alone and don't have the strength to protect yourself, it will never work.
After all, his current situation is not very good, mainly because he is worried that the crown prince Li Chengqian will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against him.
Although he knew that the crown prince Li Chengqian would not be able to be the emperor in the end, but in history, when Tang Taizong Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, it was the crown prince Li Chengqian who sat in Chang'an to supervise the country.
The power in the hands of the crown prince of the prison country is similar to that of the emperor, and it is too easy to declare a personal vendetta against him.
Therefore, Li Zhonghua must be prepared to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and not ask for anything, but only to protect the safety of himself and his family.
If it was possible, Li Zhonghua was even ready to leave Chang'an at any time.
However, Li Zhonghua also knows that at least in the past few years, Li Shimin will not drive the expedition, as long as Li Shimin does not drive the expedition, he will not leave Chang'an, as long as the prince does not have the right to supervise the country, he is safe.
