Dad listened to my reason, and actually sat on the couch without regard to the image and laughed, laughing for a while before saying: "You are now a son of the world, you can't be so willful when you have an accident, but Liu Wenjing ...... My father has always disliked this man, but because he is a little clever and acts prudently, so he reuses him, and since you don't like it, you can find it yourself if you consult and join the army. ”

I was so embarrassed by my father's laughter that his words were very strange to my ears, was this criticism or teasing?

He is right, I need to consider not only whether I am in love with someone when I appoint subordinates, this is the most unacceptable reason, what should really be considered is whether a person's talent matches his status...... In this way, do I have what it takes to be a good son of this world? I do not know.

I remember many years ago, when he framed Yang Yong for Yang Guang, he explained his helplessness to me, and now he doesn't need to explain, I can also understand-

As a father, of course, he wants his son to be upright and not engage in evil magic, but I am not only his son, but also the heir to everything he has now, and he does not want his career to be ruined in the hands of an heir who has no heart.

But if you follow the steps in this chess game, how tired should you be to live? I don't want to be this heir.

Even if it was just a perfunctory sentence, my father believed it and still accommodated me, and did not shoehorn Liu Wenjing into the prince's mansion, which was enough.

The first thing he did when he was named the prince was to help his father persuade Yang Yu to preside over the New Year's party. After the official opening of the Shizi Mansion, my father handed over many things in the court to me to deal with.

In Kyushu in the world, Dad only owns a corner of Kansai, looking east from Chang'an, Dad naturally turned his attention to Luoyang, the eastern capital, but whether it is appropriate to send troops to attack now is a problem.

Daddy is not a person who is in a hurry, but Chang'an has gathered too many troops, if they are allowed to be idle, it will definitely cause chaos after a long time, and it is better to use their energy to expand eastward.

Because of this incident, I felt estranged from my father for the first time, because most of the subordinates in the Tang Palace's mansion supported my father's opinion, but I didn't think so.

Chang'an is not a stable place, the north must guard against Turkic invasion, and there are Fenyin people Xue Ju who claims to be the overlord of Western Qin to compete with Dad, although Dad has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but in Chang'an City, the situation is not stable, although Dad has obtained absolute support, but there are many people who are dissatisfied.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside, this is the opinion of the ministers of the Shizi Mansion.

The person who watched the tiger fight from the other side of the mountain was the second brother Li Shimin, who couldn't see how deep the city was.

His opinion on Daddy was naturally supported by his hands.

For so many years, the first argument with my father was between the ministers in public.

Daddy summoned important advisers and generals to the Tang Palace, and discussed whether to send troops to Luoyang.

Daddy looked at me after he finished his thoughts, and I stood at the front and didn't speak, and the others were silent.

I thought for a while and said: "Father, we have only conquered Chang'an, and the people in the city are unstable. ”

Daddy touched his beard and frowned.

Seeing this, Liu Wenjing stepped out and said, "The son of the world is wrong to say this. Wang Shichong supported his troops in Luoyang, and he had a lot of trespasses against the king of Yue, and he fought with the Wagang thieves, and was defeated repeatedly. Taking a step back, even if Wang Shichong is not at fault, the defenders of Luoyang are already exhausted, and the Tang King sent troops to him, just like taking Chang'an, and taking Luoyang directly is only in the blink of an eye. ”

After Liu Wenjing's words were finished, Daddy's brows tightened even more.

I have always been in touch with my father, this time because of the disagreement on the matter of Luoyang, he naturally could not be happy, but Liu Wenjing's words seemed to have no brain, he said Wang Shichong, isn't my father the same as Wang Shichong? Daddy couldn't be happier, even if he did say what Daddy had in mind.

Chen Yanshou arched his hand and smiled: "King Tang thinks to himself, the land of Guanxi is peaceful, and he is still under the enemy, according to the meaning of Liu joining the army, it is indeed reasonable to take Luoyang." However......" he paused before continuing, "Regardless of the fact that it is not easy to capture Luoyang, even if it is captured, the center of Luoyang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, how should it be defended?" ”

Liu Wenjing was a little flustered when asked, and silently retreated from the queue.

Dad looked at Chen Yanshou and pondered for a long time, but still shook his head.

Li Shimin stood behind me, coughed twice, walked out of the queue and said: "Chen Changshi, now Wang Shichong is guarding Luoyang, and the Wagang army is inseparable, both defeated, this is a God-given opportunity, if we can occupy Luoyang, with my father's army of millions, why are we afraid of grass and grass?" If Luoyang is used as a basis, it is enough to look down on the world. ”

Daddy smiled and nodded.

I was about to say something, but my dad gave me a look.

Sanniang, who was standing beside me, also pulled the placket of my clothes, and I knew that it was useless to say more.

As for the person who commanded the troops, Dad agreed to Li Shimin's request without even thinking about it. The order was immediately issued, and Li Shimin, the governor of the right leading army, led 100,000 elite troops to march into Luoyang.

I stood in the conference hall of the Tang Palace, looking at Li Shimin's smug face, and I felt a trance of falling out of favor.

This feeling has never been felt before before.

What made me even more disappointed was that my father asked me to buy wine for him to eat for Li Shimin.

Outside Chang'an City, the winter sun was dappled and weak, and I still felt cold in a fox fur, but Li Shimin, who was standing opposite, was wearing armor and was full of spirit.

He looked at me with a bright face, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but I always felt that there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

I poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Li Shimin and said, "Be careful." ”

Li Shimin took the wine but didn't drink it, held his sword and arched his hand: "Big brother, don't worry, when I win Wang Shichong, I will definitely get drunk with my eldest brother in Luoyang, as for today's glass of wine, keep it for then and drink it." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and drank the glass of wine in my hand, and the wine was so sad that I shook violently in unstable shape.

Li Shimin bypassed the table and quickly helped me, I calmed down, brushed away his hand to help me, and said with a smile: "I don't drink alcohol for a long time, this wine is too strong, I can't hold it." ”

Li Shimin chuckled a few times, picked up the wine jug and drank the pot of wine, raised the empty wine jug and said with a smile: "Big brother, farewell!" ”

I watched him mount his horse and head east with a mighty army of 100,000 men, and I felt so dizzy that I could barely see his back.

When they were far away, Chai Xiaohe, who was alias Ma Sanbao, couldn't wait to come forward to support me, and said in a low voice: "The prince doesn't have to worry, this will definitely be defeated." ”
