In a dilapidated tavern in Lingzhou City, seven or eight captains and dozens of teams were drinking together (three hundred in the Tang Dynasty had captains for the regiment, and fifty people had captains for the team), and everyone at the banquet was talking about what Li Chengqian had said at the Requiem Conference two days ago, and they were all very excited when they mentioned this matter one by one.

Speaking of excitement, a tall and rugged captain stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, we can get the care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and leave us all the gold and silver, even if it is for the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be worth it in this life."

Come and let me wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink this bowl for a thousand years! ”

As soon as he said this, dozens of soldiers stood up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and said loudly with a solemn expression: "Drink this bowl for the prince for thousands of years." ”

A group of bold men said the toast, raised the wine bowl, raised their necks, and drank the wine in the bowl cleanly.

After drinking, everyone sat down one after another, grabbed the mutton on the table and drank it.

One of the older lieutenants seemed to have drunk too much, tilted his head and smiled as everyone ate and drank, pinching a gnawed clean lamb rib with one hand, and pinching a wisp of gray beard under his chin with the other, and said a little proudly: "If you want to talk about the benevolence of His Royal Highness the Prince, I knew about it last year, old man." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, knowing that this old man had drunk too much and was bragging.

"Don't believe it, last year, Chang'an issued an edict to summon meritorious soldiers to study at the Military and Political Academy, and it was only through the efforts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he overcame public opinion!"

The slightly older lieutenant saw that everyone was not impressed, so he was a little unconvinced.

Everyone knows that his cousin is an official in Chang'an, and he knows more about Chang'an City than others.

"Is there anyone who dares to oppose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The lieutenant who had risen earlier to toast asked suspiciously.

"How can there be no objection? The Military and Political Academy invited Pharmacist Li of Weiguo Gong to be the chief of the mountain, and the people who were taught from then on were all going to be in the prime minister, and how many children of official eunuchs had sharpened their heads and wanted to enter! ”

The people here basically know about the military and political academy in Chang'an last spring, but most people don't know exactly how to recruit students.

However, when they heard that the Military and Political Academy had invited Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, to be the chief of the mountain, they were all in awe, and there were several young people who had made meritorious contributions in this battle.

"Old Qintou, tell me quickly, what kind of people does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to recruit?" A warm mouth urged.

Old Lieutenant Qin was unmoved when he heard this, he just weighed the bare bones in his hand.

The captain who had gotten up to toast before laughed when he saw this, picked up a large piece of cooked mutton from his table and handed it over, "Old Qin, how about you taste the meat on our table?"

Old Lieutenant Qin took the mutton and quickly took a bite and chewed it violently, causing everyone in the hall to laugh.

Old Lieutenant Qin swallowed the mutton in his mouth and began to talk about the Tang Royal Military and Political Academy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent! You want to give me and other reckless men a way out...... The old man also heard that this time the Tang Dynasty destroyed Xue Yantuo, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would recruit more people from the young people who had made meritorious contributions to study at the Military and Political Academy. ”

……

……

As the news spread that the Tang Royal Military and Political Academy was going to enroll students in this battle, Li Chengqian's completely became a god in the hearts of ordinary soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin heard this, he just muttered: Invite to buy prestige.

It's just that neither he nor the high-ranking officials around him noticed that there was a discordant content hidden in this news, and the phrase 'Li Chengqian tried his best to disagree with the public' implicitly indicated that some people in the DPRK and China were opposed to Li Chengqian's benevolence to ordinary soldiers.

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

In the courtyard on the east side of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Lingzhou City, Li Chengqian sat in the courtyard wearing a moon-white spring dress and read a book, and Wang Qun stood next to him to report to him about the recent situation in the city.

After listening to Wang Qun's report, Li Chengqian raised his head, glanced at Wang Qun lightly, turned his head to the house behind him, and said loudly: "Take that document." ”

After a while, Liu Kui walked out of the house with a document, and Li Chengqian motioned for him to hand it directly to Wang Qun.

Wang Qun took the document and opened it, only to see that it was written: There are 18 governors in the Hui Ministry, and there are 9 governors in the prefecture. Yanran, Jilu, Jitian, Candle Dragon, etc. belong to Yanran Duhufu......

This is Fang Xuanling's strategy to establish the Yanran Protectorate in Mobei.

When Liu Renliang gave it to Li Chengqian, he scolded Li Chengqian angrily and directly to his mother.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty and the Hui tribes worked together to destroy Xue Yantuo, and then set up the Yanran Protectorate on Xue Yantuo's territory, under the jurisdiction of dozens of prefectures in the northern part of the desert.

Later, the Tang Dynasty was established or flourished on this steppe, and then the Turks, Uighurs, Tungas, Zhupu, Khitan, Jin, and Mongolia, and even the later Manchus were the first to conquer the Mongols living in this steppe before they were able to enter the Central Plains.

It can be said that for 2,000 years, this grassland has been the dream demon of China, whenever China encounters any natural disasters and man-made disasters, the tribes living on this grassland will bring the cold wind of Shuobei to the south, and tear off pieces of flesh and blood in the weakened Chinese body.

Throughout the past 2,000 years, the only opportunity for the Han people in the Central Plains to rule this grassland was the years when the Mobei tribes were sincerely surrendered to Li Shimin after Xue Yan was completely destroyed during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

However, because of the political short-sightedness of the imperial court at that time, the Tang court chose to set up a feudal state in Mobei to carry out stocking of the grassland tribes......

Li Chengqian tried his best and went to the Desperate Region with a disabled body to lead his troops to destroy Xue Yantuo, leaving behind 200,000 young men of the Mobei Tribes, is it just to let the Mobei Tribes continue to govern?

After reading the document, Wang Qun looked at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you release this news, you and Your Majesty will have to ......."

Li Chengqian's leisurely expression just now disappeared completely, and he looked at Wang Qun expressionlessly and said, "If you want to take your whole family to mining, don't let this release news out." ”

Wang Qun saw the undisguised killing intent in Li Chengqian's eyes, obviously this matter violated Li Chengqian's bottom line, he didn't dare to say anything more, bowed his head and saluted, and then turned around and walked out to arrange.

Two days later, the day before the leaders of the various prefectures paid homage to Li Shimin, a news suddenly came out from the military camps inside and outside Lingzhou City that no one had dug up the gold and silver mountains in the Tang Dynasty.

Bing Ding Jiashen said mysteriously: "I heard that there is no His Royal Highness the Prince, and I originally planned to use the Hui Hui to dig gold and silver mountains for our Tang Dynasty, but the imperial court actually wanted to let them go back to Mobei......"

Hearing this, Bing Ding Yi sighed and said, "I heard it! In order to prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from finding out who leaked his whereabouts, they killed Tumidu on the road, and the Hui Hui made trouble, so they showed great kindness to the Hui Hui and promised to let them go back to Mobei......"

Hearing this, Bing Ding Bing said bitterly: "The gold and silver mountains were found by His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince selflessly wants to dig them up for the people of the Tang Dynasty, build weapons for us reckless men, raise the offspring for the dead robes, and take care of the disabled brothers."

Some people can't slander it, don't you slander in front of Your Majesty and put those damn Mobei soldiers back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't send anyone to mine, they should send someone to steal the gold and silver mountains of our Tang Dynasty......"

Such news spread rapidly at the bottom of the army like wings, but neither Li Shimin nor the people around him noticed it.

They all worked hard to organize a grand ceremony for the leaders of various departments to worship Li Shimin, so as to pressure Li Chengqian.
