Li Chengqian did not know that Li Shimin had left in ashes, and he still had to continue his speech.

"In the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian, a writer of history books, once said, 'Everyone has to die, some people die lighter than a feather, without any value, and some people die heavier than Mount Tai.' Those who die on the battlefield because of defending their homes and defending the country will die more heavily than Mount Tai, and they are people worthy of our respect.

Injured and disabled people, if the court does not take care of them and makes them more uncomfortable alive than dead, it is an ungrateful court.

Therefore, no matter how much effort the court spends to take care of them and their relatives, it is due. ”

After Li Chengqian finished saying this, many of the ministers of civil and military affairs had disdainful expressions, and the death of a few big-headed soldiers was heavier than Mount Tai?

It's just that Li Chengqian's following words and the performance of the soldiers made them tremble.

"The imperial court not only has to take care of these people, but the imperial court also has to do many things, such as paving roads and digging ditches, disaster relief, internal rebellion, and external enemy insults.

What did the court do with these things? Because I have tens of millions of simple farmers in the Tang Dynasty who work hard all day long to pay grain and pay taxes with their backs to the loess, as well as good craftsmen who bend to the workshop all year round and strive for perfection, the grain grown by farmers can feed the whole Tang Dynasty, the weapons built by craftsmen can kill the enemy, and the farm tools created can be cultivated, these are the sources of power of the imperial court.

However, all this can only be done when the world is peaceful, and who can plow the fields and work with peace of mind when the world is full of smoke?

Therefore, if Datang wants to have everything, it must first have a team loyal to Datang. Loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

For example, our gold and silver mountains have to be guarded by you, if you can't keep our Datang gold and silver mountains, the court will have no money to raise those orphans of the fallen soldiers, and the court will not have the money to take care of your disabled robes. ”

"Hum—"

The whole venue resounded with discussion.

Nearly 100,000 people inside and outside the venue didn't expect Li Chengqian to lift the soldiers so high!

Moreover, Li Chengqian only mentioned the peasants and craftsmen, and there were no scholars and merchants, which made the civil and military ministers standing on the high platform in the north have mixed feelings.

However, the soldiers below all understood what Li Chengqian meant, that is, they had a sacred duty to protect the gold and silver mountains of the Tang Dynasty.

What are the gold and silver mountains, and their current understanding is these ore veins, so many soldiers have thrown their killing opportunities at the leaders of the various detention states present.

A young lieutenant stood up and solemnly threw his fist at Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dedicated to the public, and we are still reluctant to be enthusiastic?" Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will protect the gold and silver mountains of the Tang Dynasty with our lives. ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted excitedly when they heard this: "We will use our lives to protect the gold and silver mountains of the Tang Dynasty......"

……

……

Li Chengqian watched that the scene he wanted finally appeared, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But Fang Xuanling's heart was beating when he saw this scene, as if he had seen the excited appearance of the generals of the Qin Palace's mansion before the Xuanwu coup......

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Fang Xuanling tilted his head and whispered to Li Shiji.

Hearing this, Li Shiji replied expressionlessly: "There is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being selfless. ”

Hou Junji next to him couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and Wei Chigong's expression also revealed deep worry.

Li Chengqian finished his speech after saying everything he could say, and stepped off the high stage amid the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's father and son were finished in the ring, all the ministers were also relieved, and they simplified the rest of An's soul process to end the event.

On the second day, Li Chengqian wrote a letter requesting the imperial court to set up a monument for the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo, and attached a simple process of the previous battles in the war to the back of the inscription, as well as the origins, ages and names of the soldiers who died in the battle.

Li Shimin threw it on the ground after reading this song, and his chest rose and fell violently for a long time, and he was speechless.

Because in Li Shimin's view, these practices are unprecedented in all dynasties, and they are just a means for Li Chengqian to invite people to buy people's hearts.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin raised his head and his eyes were glowing green, and he said gloomily: "It is rumored that the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Britain have come to see me." ”

Soon the two came, and when they entered the meeting hall and saw that Li Shimin, who had a gloomy face, was the only one inside, their hearts sank.

Knowing that it must be related to yesterday's events, he saluted cautiously and said, "The minister Xuanling (Li Shiji) will see Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said calmly: "The two Qing family members are flat and sit in front of me." ”

When the two heard this, they bowed to Li Shimin again as thanksgiving, and then silently took two felt mats from the ground and moved them to Li Shimin, kneeling on one left and one right.

Seeing that they were seated, Li Shimin picked up Li Chengqian's recital from the small table, handed it to Fang Xuanling expressionlessly, and said, "The two Qing family will take a look at the prince's recital first. ”

Fang Xuanling took a glance and read ten lines in a hurry, then handed it to Li Shiji, and when Li Shiji took over Fang Xuanling, he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's recent actions seem to be a bit upside down. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "Xuan Ling bluntly said that there is no need to cover up for the prince. ”

This is equivalent to saying that he should hurry up and scold Li Chengqian for me.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he began to tell Li Shimin in detail what Li Chengqian said and the situation at the scene after Li Shimin left yesterday.

The point is that Li Chengqian deliberately broke the position between the peasants and the industrialists.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, slapped the table and said, "In order to buy people's hearts, the son of evil actually wants to mess with my four people." ”

After that, he turned his head to look at Li Shiji, and saw that he was still holding the copy of the recital, so he said with some displeasure: "What does Mao Gong think about this?"

When Li Shiji heard this, he put down his song and said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thoughtful, and it is feasible to engrave the names of the fallen soldiers on the monument. ”

"Huh?"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Li Shiji would perfunctory him in person.

Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Shiji in surprise, how could Li Shiji have always been cautious and make such a bold move?

Li Shiji looked at Li Shimin's gaze, got up and bowed to Li Shimin, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is selfless and selfless, and the ministers dare not misinterpret it." Fang Xuanling's face immediately became gloomy.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes at Li Shiji waiting for his words.

"Your Majesty, whoever is the plotter of the dark room will use his personal cronies, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led the troops to destroy the Xue Yantuo Khan's tent, and the generals of the East Palace have made great contributions, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never mentioned it once from beginning to end. But he is bent on planning how to compensate the soldiers who have died in battle, and this alone can prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no plans for a dark room. ”

Li Shimin was in a slightly better mood after listening to Li Shiji's words, but he was still angry with Li Chengqian.

Ban Yan said angrily: "Although there is no plan for the dark room, he is also inviting people to buy people's hearts." ”

Li Shiji knew that it was not easy to keep the two palaces from going to war immediately at this time, so he didn't say more.

However, when Li Shimin heard what Li Shiji said, he immediately understood, although Li Chengqian was bent on buying people's hearts, the bribes were all ordinary soldiers, not only did not involve the generals of the DPRK and China, but even the generals of the East Palace forgot about it......

As soon as Li Shimin figured out this, he said to Li Shiji: "Since Mao Gong thinks that what the prince has played is feasible, let you do it." ”

When Li Shiji heard this, he hurriedly got up and saluted Li Shimin to say goodbye, but he heard Li Shimin say: "Mao Gong went back and sent the credit book for the destruction of Xue Yantuo as soon as possible, and I want to reward him for his meritorious deeds." ”

Li Shiji was stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, don't you want to wait until you return to Beijing to worship the Taimiao and then talk about meritorious deeds?"

Hearing this, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "No, I want to announce it when I summon the leaders of the various detention states, and also let the leaders of the detention states see the heroic posture of my Tang military generals." ”

In my heart, I was thinking that Li Chengqian would buy ordinary soldiers, and I wanted to get the loyalty of the generals in the army.

After Li Shiji left, Li Shimin told Fang Xuanling his thoughts, and the two hit it off and discussed it until late at night.
