Chapter 499: Loyalty and Filial Piety
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really scheming!
Champa rice has been brought back by the fleet sent by Princess Pingyang, and when she was about to try to plant the fruits, she brought Princess Pingyang back to Chang'an to be the chief supervisor of Shaofu Temple. Then, the preparation of the water division and other meritorious and powerful things, Her Royal Highness the princess could not touch, and all the work in the early stage was directly made for the king of Qi.
At the same time, not only robbed Her Royal Highness the princess of her upcoming harvest, but also took the army of King Qin by the way, and asked his trusted King Qi to divide the military power of King Qin-
It's a one-stop-and-shoot strategy! Xue Lang was speechless, and it took a while to find a voice and complain: "How can there be such a brazen person in the world!" ”
Princess Pingyang said: "The eldest brother is just afraid that after I hold the water master, I will favor Erlang." The strategy of the East Palace has been clearly visible since the eldest brother asked for Liu Heimin. It's just that due to the current situation, the Turks invade the south every year, and those who can resist the Turks, Erlang also, in desperation, the eldest brother can only watch Erlang's prestige among the military and civilians increase and he can't do anything. ”
Xue Lang nodded, he was standing on the shoulders of the historical giant and looking at the situation, the truth was just as Her Royal Highness the princess said, the prince planned to do so, and seize every opportunity to reduce the military power of the King of Qin.
Princess Pingyang said: "Erlang was raised by me since he was a child and was close to me, and Yuanji grew up in front of his eldest brother since he was a child, and he was close to his eldest brother. The eldest brother doesn't believe me, if I am in power, I must be afraid that I will favor Erlang, if I let Yuanji take power, I can not only achieve the goal, but also prevent trouble. It's not surprising that you do that! ”
Her Royal Highness the princess was very calm, but Xue Lang sighed in his heart, endured it, and simply said: "You say, will the prince still have the intention of tempting the saint?" ”
Princess Pingyang's body slowly sat up straight, thoughtful: "Temptation? ”
"That's right! Let me see, the prince's move, in addition to the intentions you mentioned above, may also have the meaning of testing the sage, to see if the sage has the heart of easy storage, if the sage supports Yuanji to control the newly established sailor, it means that the sage is willing to support the prince and reduce the power of the king of Qin, if the sage does not allow it, I am afraid that the prince will think more. ”
Princess Pingyang's face was calm, and she said in a deep voice: "With the talent of Yuanji, if there is no general who is good at fighting to assist, he will definitely lose the battle again and again. The sailor is newly built, and it is different from the soldiers on land, even if I look at him twice and let him preside over the preparation of the sailor division and train a sailor who can go to the battlefield, it may not be possible to succeed if I give him ten years! Militaristic affairs, how can it be child's play! ”
Xue Lang nodded in agreement!
Others don't know, but he knows, and the trial planting of Champong rice will definitely be successful. The grand scene of "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full" will also come in advance, and at that time, the coastal area will be the place of grain production, and the strategic position is self-evident.
It is impossible to deploy heavy troops inland, after all, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty is still the Turks. If the water division can be prepared, the new granary of Datang will be guaranteed. In addition, because of the geographical location of Huangzhou, it can also deter the countries of Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Dongying, and free up energy and time for the Tang Dynasty to settle the Turks! Although the preparation of the water division is not an urgent need, it is a long-term strategic need.
What's more, it will inevitably take time for the formation of the naval division to form combat effectiveness, and the current situation just has a buffer time for the formation of the naval division. However, the crown prince used such an important matter to fight for power and gain power, and regarded military affairs as child's play...... What a disappointment!
Princess Pingyang was disappointed: "If the eldest brother recommends Xian Nengliang to take over in the future, even if it is in the way of our plans, I can let me be the governor of the water division, but the eldest brother recommends Yuan Ji...... Where is Yuanji who can make things happen! Big brother's move is also a misguided strategy! ”
Xue Lang said: "I think the prince didn't mean to do this, it's just that Lu Quan's thoughts are troubled, and he doesn't pay enough attention to the sailor, maybe he thinks that there will be no enemies on the ocean, and the sailor is not of much significance, but it is just to prevent trouble before it happens, let Yuanji come, even if he does something wrong, there is time to correct it." ”
Princess Pingyang said coldly: "Ridiculous! Preparing for the construction of a new army, the cost is quite high, I have established the dynasty at the beginning, the treasury is not abundant, where can it be such a child's play, it is a waste! ”
That's the difference in standing position and concept!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born noble, and he probably hasn't suffered much since he was a child, so he probably doesn't have the idea of being careful about money. People who have a wide economy since childhood, have never had a tight hand, and have never lacked money, obviously do not attach as much importance to money as power, to put it bluntly, for this type of person, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, and power is more important.
And His Royal Highness the Princess, as a woman, has a life and death prophecy pressed in her heart, her strength is limited, the difficulties are huge, and she has suffered a lot. Another person pulled up an army, and naturally knew the terrible lack of money.
In the eyes of the crown prince, Yuan Ji can be trusted, as a right-hand man, if he can spend some money and food to train Yuan Ji to help him resist the military strength of the King of Qin, the harvest is obviously greater than the cost. No matter how this account is calculated, how can you put a little money and food in your eyes!
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess was angry about this, Xue Lang persuaded: "Jianling, don't be angry, I don't think the saint will necessarily agree to the prince." ”
Xue Lang's words are well-founded! Although the sage swayed slightly between the king of Qin and the crown prince, on the whole, the sage still leaned towards the primogeniture inheritance system, and had the intention of setting a model for future generations. However, under the pressure of the situation, in order to resist the Turks, he had to reuse the king of Qin, so the current situation was formed.
However, as the battle between the crown prince and the king of Qin became more and more intense, and became more and more open, the sage was obviously aware of the consequences of this incident, but due to the situation and character, the sage did not have the courage to use thunder methods.
It can be seen from the historical records that in the ninth year of Wude, the prince began to buy the subordinates of the Qin Wangfu and the generals of the Tiance Mansion, and when the Turks invaded, he strongly recommended Yuanji as the commander, and recommended Wei Chi Gong and other generals who followed the Qin King to assist Yuanji, and the purpose of seizing the military power of the Qin King was clearly revealed. And this counsel to the sage agreed.
Xue Lang didn't know what the sage's plans were now after the persuasion he had when he left Chang'an, and whether he would still unswervingly support the prince, but one thing is certain, the sage would not take state affairs as a child's play!
Yuanji's talent, the sage is not unaware, and there is no virtuous general to assist, let Yuanji prepare for the new army...... Think about it with your toes and know the result! The preparation of the sailor is a matter of strategic necessity, and the sage will obviously not agree.
So, Xue Lang said: "If the crown prince recommends Yuan Ji to be the master of the water, and at the same time recommends a suitable deputy to assist him, I think the saint may agree." If there is no good deputy general to assist, only Yuanji...... I'm afraid that the prince's plan will fail. Although the saint is soft-hearted, he is not a person who takes state affairs as a child's play! ”
Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Lang Jun is reasonable!" However, this matter cannot be prevented, and I still need to write a sparse performance to my father, stating the interests and disadvantages. That's just it......"
Xue Lang said calmly: "It's just that in this way, with the prince and Yuanji...... I'm afraid I'm going to make a bad fight! ”
Princess Pingyang nodded helplessly, but her expression was resolute: "If the eldest brother and Yuanji want to misunderstand and hate me because of this, I am not afraid!" In all conscience! ”
Xue Lang smiled and patted her hand and said, "It's okay, you just do what you want to do, no matter what you do, I will support you." It's a big deal, let's take the trilogy and go to the island to be the earth overlord! ”
Princess Pingyang smiled at him and didn't say anything, just looked at him with a pair of eyes and veins, looked at each other for a long time, and blushed when she saw it, so she smiled lightly, reached out and pulled down his head, and gently pasted it.
After a long time, the two fitting heads separated, and Princess Pingyang said: "Aya raised me, and the grace of nurturing cannot be repaid." However, Lang Jun treats me like this, I will not fall into a desperate situation, Lang Jun can rest assured, he has his own plans for his wife. ”
Xue Lang smiled: "I've never been worried! ”
The two of them touched each other's foreheads, warm and speechless.
