Chapter 1664: The Owner Knows that Firewood and Rice Are Expensive (I)

The news of Li Chengqian's restoration of the crown prince made the entire Chang'an boil again like a thunderbolt. Vertices are updated the fastest

Whether it is the people, the nobles, or the family, everyone is talking about one question: what does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?

Is this going to be a Zen position? Or do you want to do something? Why is there no warning in advance?

But no matter how everyone discussed, their topic revolved around what His Majesty Li Er's purpose was, and no one ever discussed whether Li Chengqian would really be assigned to Lingnan, and they didn't know where these people's confidence came from.

However, Li Chengqian himself didn't think so much, and on the second day after he regained the position of crown prince, he wrote to the old man, asking for an increase of 100,000 troops to the Wa Kingdom, and at the same time carrying the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

No one thought that the first thing Li Chengqian did after his comeback would be to start a war!

Shouldn't he find time to stabilize his position? Or shouldn't he be thankful for the nobles and families who supported him some time ago? Do something back?

However, Xiao Li didn't do this, he only asked for one point, to level the Japanese kingdom and make it extinct!

No one knows why Li Chengqian hates a country so much, is it just because he lost a war? But even so, it won't rise to the level of extinction, right?

I think that the Turks came to Chang'an back then, and in the end they only caught Jieli in Chang'an, so why should a small Japanese country make such a big move.

In the Qin Palace, in Li Chengqian's study, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Chai Shao, and Hou Jun gathered ......, and a group of old killers gathered together.

"Gentlemen, the matter of the Wa Kingdom has been decided by the palace, and there is no point in discussing whether it is necessary to go on an expedition, so it is better to directly discuss who will go to war!" Li Chengqian swept over the crowd with an indifferent gaze, not giving them any chance to question at all.

"Prince, will it be a problem for the Wa Kingdom to use a large number of our standard weapons and equipment, and only send an army of 100,000?" Although Chai Shao is Li Chengqian's uncle, when discussing serious matters, he still has to use his official position to address him.

"That's your problem, this palace only needs to see the destruction of the Japanese country, as for how you fight, how to fight, and what to use to fight this palace, I don't have to ask."

Li Chengqian has really started the fire this time, and he is completely only seeking the end and unscrupulous means.

A group of old guys looked at each other, they didn't worry about how to fight after a lifetime of fighting, they were just curious about what made Li Chengqian so persistent.

But Li Chengqian wouldn't tell them the truth of the matter at all, looked at the old guys who were a little puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "The Eastern Route Army has a large amount of Weishui reserves, you can bring them before you go out, and you can also bring firearms, and weapons such as crossbows are no exception, and the Dengzhou Sailor will fully cooperate with you, is there any problem?" ”

"The question is no, it's just ...... Exactly who will go on the expedition is still a question. Chai Shao said.

"The candidate in the heart of this palace is Hou Shangshu, but I don't know what the monarchs want." Li Chengqian did not hide his true thoughts in his heart, and when he saw Chai Shao asking, he replied directly.

"I want to go!" Hou Junji didn't expect Li Chengqian's meeting to be on his head, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard the words.

And Lao Cheng and Wei Chi rolled their eyes and didn't pay attention to Lao Hou.

Who in the entire Tang Dynasty doesn't know that Hou Junji is a notoriously murderous person, who goes into battle to fight without his life, and without leaving prisoners.

And the reason why Li Chengqian chose to let him lead the army is probably because he took a fancy to him.

It's ridiculous that this thing doesn't know why he will order his general, it's really a horse who doesn't know how long his face is.

However, does Hou Junji really not know? Of course not!

It's just that Lao Hou doesn't care about this, in his opinion, as long as he can go into battle to kill the enemy, and can watch the enemy tremble under his horse's hooves, that is the greatest pleasure, as for the rest...... They were all killed in other people's countries, and they talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

I have to say that Lao Hou's idea is exactly in line with Li Chengqian's attitude towards the Japanese state, so almost no one will compete with him for the candidate for the Japanese state this time, and it will naturally fall on his head in the end.

The next time was to discuss tactics and tactics, and Li Chengqian listened carefully to the discussions of the old men, taking notes from time to time, like a student studying seriously.

Seeing this, some people will ask, could it be that His Majesty Li Er just let Li Chengqian go? Really handed over Datang to him?

In fact, it is true, His Majesty Li Er really doesn't care much about things now, and even the documents of the three provinces such as Zhongshu and Menxia are copied to Li Chengqian, and he is asked to approve the first batch before he gets to the old man.

Therefore, this time Li Chengqian proposed to send troops, the old man let him make his own decision without thinking about it, and finally sent all the courtiers who raised objections to Li Chengqian's mansion and let him settle it himself.

What can Li Chengqian say in the face of such a situation? I can only do my best to deal with the things assigned by the old man.

It was only at this time that Li Chengqian discovered that the emperor's work was really tiring, and he was so tired that he collapsed.

In the past, although he knew that being a good emperor would be tired of becoming a dog, but after all, he just thought about it, and he was always not so impressed without experiencing it himself.

But now, everything has been suppressed, and piles of folds from the six departments of the three provinces have been sent to the government, not to mention whether they are approved or not, even if they are watched, they have to be seen late at night.

Moreover, Li Chengqian found that the problems he needs to face are not only the heavy workload, but also the way he thinks about problems must also change.

In the past, he just had to give his opinion and then go to the old man, but at that time he always felt why the old man always asked back and forth, and even though a question had been explained many times, the old man still had to ask endlessly.

Now he finally knew that it was not the old man's intelligence that was wrong, but that the old man had to ask like this.

The emperor and the courtier are different, as a country's decision-maker, his every word has the potential to have a great impact, there are many things that do not mean that the starting point is good, and the final result must be good.

For example, as he previously proposed, free education for all.

From his point of view at the time, this seemed like a good thing for all people.

But looking back now, I find that things are not so simple.

Because he can't give that position to those students who have read a lot of books and are full of ambitions, he can only let them mingle outside the officialdom, and after a long time, those people will complain, and slowly affect some other people.

The people thought that they had no good future after studying, which made them very puzzled, and slowly formed a wave of public resentment, which is the undesirable consequence of free education.
