Chapter 43 Proposed Military Parade
At night, the hazy moonlight shines through the window, like a layer of golden sand, making the night full of mystery.
Du He lay on the bed and looked at the three precipitated gold medals in his hand, remembered Changle and Li Xueyan, showed a happy smile on his face, and said in his heart: "The task has been completed, Uncle Li should not refuse his request!" Thinking that he would be able to marry Changle and Li Xueyan soon, he also liked it in his heart.
Then he thought about the hunt today, and thought about Princess Yaochi.
I also have to admit that for Yaochi, in the face of that kiss, he has been moved.
But it's one thing to be tempted, it's another to fall in love.
As long as a man sees an outstanding woman, he will be moved, but this kind of heartbeat has no emotional basis, and there is no love or not love at all.
For the current Duhe, Princess Yaochi is just an insignificant passerby, but this passerby has left a deep impression on him, nothing more.
With these three gold medals in hand, Du He went to the palace to find Li Shimin the next day.
It is still Li Shimin's study manna hall.
The emperor of the Tang Empire was painting in his study.
"Boy Duhe to meet Uncle Li, long live Uncle Li, long live long live!" At this time, it was not popular to call long live, but Du He had to ask for people, so he patted the sycophants in advance in order to achieve success.
When Li Shimin saw Du He's arrival, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "In a hunting competition, you can stir up the ups and downs, it's really amazing." ”
Du He remembered what had happened, and said with a bitter face: "Where did you think that there would be tigers in the hunting grounds?" ”
Li Shimin also felt strange, that is, he didn't expect that there would be tigers in the hunting grounds of his circle, but this is also something that can be helped, he is the king of the Tang Dynasty, but he can't care where tigers will appear.
"But this also gives you a chance to save beauty!" Li Shimin smiled, his eyes revealing an inscrutable meaning.
Du He was secretly shocked in his heart, and before he could speak, he heard Li Shimin say: "I heard that during the battle in the ring, the Yao Chi of the Xiangxiong Kingdom kissed you in public...... And now you're ...... Say, what is your relationship with Princess Na Yaochi? ”
The more he spoke, the more stern he became, and at the end of his speech, there was already some questioning.
"Uh...... This ...... "Du He is really a little weak-hearted, will he let people see him when he kisses Princess Yaochi in the forest?" But his face still did not change, and his heart did not beat: "Friendship!" ”
"Really?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed.
"It's just a close friend relationship, how dare the kid hide it from his uncle!" Du Ho held his head high and patted his chest in reassurance.
"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Forget it, I won't pursue this matter, you are here for Changle and Snow Goose." ”
"No!" Du He denied it, and straightened his posture, and his expression became serious: "Uncle Li, the kid is here to discuss with his uncle on business!" ”
Li Shimin felt a little surprised, and thought that Du He's purpose of coming here was to offer treasure to himself and tell him about Changle and Li Xueyan! Seeing his serious expression, he couldn't help but put the pen on the pen stand, and put on the majesty of the emperor and said, "Tell me about it!" ”
"Uncle Li, the competition of the brave is coming to an end, and my Datang's goal has basically been achieved, but this is only a preliminary deterrent, let them know that my Datang is capable of producing many people. In addition, we must also let them know that in addition to being able to produce many people, Datang is also invincible in the world militarily. Therefore, after the end of the brave competition, before the envoys of various countries left, I proposed to hold a large-scale military parade, select 300,000 elites from the army, tour my Chang'an City, and choose one of the strong teams to practice in the school field, so that it can get more deterrent effect, and at the same time, it can also make the people of Datang feel the military power of my Datang, so that they can be proud of my Datang. Duhe said and waved his arms.
"That makes sense!" Li Shimin moved Du He's "whimsy" again, and stood up movingly and said: "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?" ”
Du He said with a bitter face: "The kid only thought about it recently, no, he immediately reported it to his uncle?" In fact, he already had this idea for this military parade, but he never said it.
Because he knew that if he said it in advance, Li Shimin would inevitably work hard and prepare in advance for this.
The ancient military parade is different from the modern one, the modern military parade mainly shows off science and technology, guns, aircraft, tanks, as for the neat appearance of the army, which country can't do it? As long as you go through rigorous training, even recruits who have never been on the battlefield can put on an excellent lineup.
Ancient times are different, ancient science and technology are backward, although the Tang Dynasty's armor and sharp weapons are much better than those of other races, but these alone are not enough to cause shock, because cold weapons are not the key to determining victory or defeat.
Therefore, the important thing is still in the people, in the strength of the soldiers.
If the envoys of various countries had learned of this in advance, they would have been mentally prepared, and they might not be able to achieve good results in the face of great military might. But if you take them off guard and kill them by surprise, the situation will be very different.
Just imagine, this can gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at hand, and all of them have such divine might, how will it be shocking?
Even if you are not scared to pee your pants, you will not dare to have different intentions for Datang.
Li Shimin also understood that this matter was very important, and immediately invited Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji and other generals.
Du He explained his thoughts, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji and other generals also applauded one by one, military parades are no stranger to them, Datang attaches great importance to military equipment, Li Shimin will check the practice of various armies from time to time to ensure that the power of Datang soldiers is not reduced.
It's just that this time it's more grand.
Li Shimin smiled arrogantly: "Since all the Aiqing have agreed, I will hold a big military parade in public." As for everything, Wei Gong, are you willing to take care of the overall situation? ”
Li Jing shook his white beard and said loudly: "Since Your Majesty can afford the old minister, the old minister dares to disobey his orders!" We will live up to expectations, so that the envoys of various countries can see the prestige of our Tang Dynasty. ”
"Good!" Li Shimin said loudly: "This matter depends on Wei Gong, Junji, Shiji, you two will assist from the side, as for Du He, although the official position is low, but this matter is thought by him, it will definitely be of great use, let him join!" ”
The four of them received the order, but Du He unexpectedly saw the slightest jealousy in Hou Junji's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, and thought: "Uncle Li's arrangement is the only one, and Uncle Li Jing's talent and prestige in the army must be enough to handle this matter properly." It's just that the secretary of the military department is Hou Junji, the first leader of the military...... Uncle Li Jing was overwhelmed by everything, and he was not broad-minded, so he must be very dissatisfied. ”
Du He didn't have much to say about this, so he could only keep it in his heart.
Immediately, Du He said the knowledge of the military parade in the future in his heart one by one.
A set of unprecedented, unseen and unheard of military parade processes was displayed in front of everyone.
Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji and the others were all a little dumbfounded when they heard this, and they looked at each other!
Li Shimin smiled secretly in the hall, this situation was the same as before, but now that he has immunity, he has long been surprised.
Li Jing coughed dryly and said: "General Du seems to have a comprehensive plan, and he is so clever that the old minister has never thought about it, so it is better to think according to his process, and then make specific changes!" ”
Li Jing used soldiers like a god, his conduct was also excellent, and he was good at accepting the opinions of others, and he was not angry when he saw that Du He's plan was much more clever than he originally thought, and actively adopted it. But I also heard some faults in Duhe's narrative, some details that did not conform to reality and were not suitable for their time.
If Hou Junji was really in command, Hou Junji might not have accepted Du He's proposal so calmly.
Next, several people discussed the matter carefully.
Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji were well aware of the actual military situation of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time put forward a lot of pertinent opinions, which were in line with the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty and drew up a preliminary outline.
Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji are all ready to go.
Du He didn't move, and stayed.
Li Shimin looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "What else is going on?" ”
Du He saw that Li Shimin was in a good mood because he had decided on a major event, and he secretly rejoiced: no matter the time, place, or occasion, it was the time to discuss the "big event", so he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "After this official matter is over, it's time to talk about private matters!" ”
"I don't remember any personal matters to talk about with you!" Li Shimin knew what he was thinking, but there were signs of turning his face and denying it.
Du He exclaimed in astonishment: "You won't play me like this, my uncle is the emperor, you can't be untrustworthy!" This is about the lifelong happiness of three people! His eyes widened, and his face looked anxious.
Li Shimin saw his anxious appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" If you let me know that you have been wronged in the future, I am worried that I will take your head! ”
Du He pondered the meaning of Li Shimin's words, and immediately rejoiced, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li agreed?" ”
Li Shimin is the emperor who has 3,000 beauties in the harem, and he is also patriarchal, so he does not oppose the three wives and four concubines. The Tang Dynasty also did not explicitly stipulate that concubines could not be taken as concubines. As long as you want me, no one will say anything.
The main reason why Du He is difficult to do this matter is that one is a princess and the other is a county lord, both of whom are members of the royal family, so it is unprecedented. When the matter spreads, it will inevitably be affected and resisted.
If it were an ordinary person, Li Shimin might not allow it, but Du He was different. He was only sixteen years old, and he repeatedly helped himself, and his whimsical ideas gave Datang a lot of benefits. Especially in military affairs, the talent that is most displayed is even more eye-catching, and if it is properly cultivated, it is likely to be the next Tang Li Jing.
Especially today, Du He's public and private actions are even more satisfying.
In the face of such a person, it is natural to take the lead in wooing, and let him serve Datang wholeheartedly.
Li Shimin was still very happy to be able to contribute and help in this small matter, seeing Du He's happy smile, he couldn't help but struck: "I just promised to help you say good things, but I didn't guarantee it!" ”
Du He said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as Uncle Li is willing to go out, this matter will be done!" ”
