Hearing his father stop him, Li Zhen and Li Yun were both stunned, and turned to look at Li Shimin at the same time. But Li Shimin said with a smile: "You two stinky boys are really lucky, you know the group of artillery trained in the military academy, right?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhen and Li Yun glanced at each other, and then replied at the same time. At the beginning, after the sixth brother Li Su invented muskets and artillery, he not only sent people to send people to manufacture these two types of firearms, but also sent a group of experienced soldiers, and later these soldiers stayed in the military academy to teach, and set up an artillery department and a musket department to help Datang train a group of artillery and musketeers, this time in the battle against Xue Yantuo, a group of artillery was used, and as a result, in the battle with Nuo Zhenshui, it played a huge role, the opponent's cavalry was under the bombardment of artillery, and the soldiers were afraid that the war horses were frightened, and they could not form a cavalry formation at all. As a result, he was defeated by General Li Jida.

Li Shimin also thought of the achievements of the artillery, and his face couldn't help showing a proud expression, although this was the first time that artillery was used in the Tang Dynasty's foreign war, it had proved the value of artillery, which also showed that he was also very wise in setting up the artillery section at the beginning.

However, Li Shimin then thought of what he was going to say, so he looked at Li Zhen and Li Yun and said: "In this battle against Xue Yantuo, the performance of the artillery is indeed good, but according to the instructor sent by Liulang, the artillery is not particularly good because of the lack of actual combat experience, and the musketeers also have the same problem, and it is precisely because of this that I did not dare to use the musketeers on such an important battlefield, what I am afraid of is that if the actual combat experience is insufficient, it will lead to the rout of the whole war." ”

Li Shimin deliberately stopped when he said this. Then he looked at the two sons with a smile on his face. If Li Zhen and Li Yun still don't understand the meaning of these words, then they will simply crash to death. Among them, Li Zhen was even more ecstatic and said: "Father...... Father, you mean to lend us artillery and musketeers. Let them accumulate some practical experience? ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen and Li Yun with surprise, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, my Tang Dynasty soldiers are at their peak, especially after destroying Xue Yantuo, it is estimated that it will be difficult for any war to happen in the next few years, although this is a good thing, but it is not a good thing for artillery and musketeers who lack actual combat experience." It just so happens that your brother has such ambitions, and his father can't help you in any other way, so he simply lends you artillery and musketeers for the time being, but you still need to find a way to provide their weapons and consumables. ”

Although Li Shimin's words are good, one yard is one yard, nominally lending two firearms units to Li Zhen and Li Yun, but in fact they are only renting them and not providing weapons.

Li Zhen and Li Yun also smiled relatively bitterly after hearing this, but they were already very satisfied. After all, when the sixth brother opened up outward, his father had not given a single soldier, and now it was not easy for them to rent two elite firearms troops.

After leaving the Liangyi Palace. Li Zhen and Li Yun went to the harem to meet their respective mothers again. Li Yun's mother, Wang, turned out to be just a small palace maid, and was later born to Li Yun by Li Shimin by chance. This is why she was named Jieyu, which is a positive third product. The status is below the four concubines and the nine concubines.

The Wang family came from a humble background, even when giving birth to Li Yun. After being named Jieyu, she is still very low-key, no matter who she is, she is kind and angry, she never argues with others, even if she is bullied by others, she never dares to speak out, but fortunately, there are not many concubines with sons in the harem, and Queen Changsun governs the harem very strictly, so no one dares to bully her too much.

Regarding her son's plan to follow Li Su's example, Wang Jieyu did not stop her, but she was a little worried that her son would not be able to take care of herself when he was outside, so she kept telling Li Yun to pay attention to rest. In fact, the reason why Wang Jieyu didn't stop her son was mainly in her cognition, even if her son was developing overseas, at most he was sitting in the rear, and as for other things, Li Shimin naturally helped arrange it, and there could be no danger, so she was so relieved. It's a pity that Wang Jieyu didn't know that after arriving overseas, everything had to rely on Li Zhen and Li Yun brothers to work hard by themselves.

Li Zhen's mother, Concubine Yan De, is one of the four concubines, which is equivalent to Concubine Yang's status, and the Yan family is also a famous family, especially in recent years, Yanbei has been following Li Su, which has made the Yan family develop very fast, and it has already been ranked among the first-class families in the Tang Dynasty, so although Concubine Yan De is not as favored as Concubine Yang, she is a very important concubine in the harem.

However, it is precisely Concubine Yan who has such an identity and status, so she is not as ignorant as Wang Jieyu, Concubine Yan knows that this time her son goes overseas, not only has to rely on himself for everything, but even has to take a lot of risks, if she is not careful, even her life may be lost there.

It is precisely because she knows this, so Concubine Yan objected to this matter from the beginning, but Li Zhen is a very assertive person, and she has been doted on by Concubine Yan since she was a child, and she is not very afraid of her mother, so no matter how Concubine Yan persuades, she can't make Li Zhen change her mind.

"Okay, let's go, don't recognize me as a mother when you leave!" In the Hall of Frugality, Concubine Yan yelled at Li Zhen crying and making trouble, without the usual graceful bearing.

And Li Zhen looked at the old lady crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, and said very helplessly: "Mother, don't make trouble, okay, listen to me explain it to you?" ”

"Explain? What is there to explain, if you don't do it, you have to go overseas full of thorns, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, where did you suffer that kind of suffering? Concubine Yan still cried. It is said that a pregnant woman has no reason to talk about, but in fact, a woman who is a mother has nothing to say, especially when her son is disobedient, Concubine Yan has now revealed the essence of a mother.

Seeing his mother's appearance, Li Zhen was also very helpless, but he also knew that his mother was for his own good, so he had to say patiently: "Mother, you don't know that the prince of Erchen looks beautiful on the surface, but everything is just because of the presence of the father, but to put it mildly, if the father is not there one day, the prince is not going to live by looking at other people's faces, and then you will also suffer with the sons, but Concubine Yang's family has no such concerns, whether it is staying in the country or going to the sixth brother." , they are all at ease, and they don't need to look at other people's faces at all. ”

According to Tang law, if Li Shimin dies, then his concubines will be divided into two parts, one part is childless, and they will live in the palace and be supported by the palace, but although these women are not short of food and clothing, they will die alone in the deep palace, and the evening scene is indescribably desolate. In addition, there are a small number of princes, such as Concubine Yan and Wang Jieyu, they will live with their sons, and with their sons to rely on, their lives are much stronger than those sisters in the palace, and this is one of the reasons why many harem women desperately want to give birth to a prince for the emperor.

Concubine Yan heard Li Zhen mention her future life, although she could not worry about herself, but she couldn't help but think about her son, their Yan family was powerful, and if Li Zhi ascended the throne in the future, she would definitely be a little wary of Li Zhen, although she would not do anything out of the ordinary for the time being, but it would make Li Zhen's life not very easy, which could not be stopped by family affection. In addition, Concubine Yan also knows her son's character, Li Zhen has always been a bold person, and she has always had no scruples about doing things, if she is allowed to look at people's faces in everything, it is better to kill him.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yan finally understood why her son was dedicated to learning from Li Su, in addition to not wanting to live that kind of life of looking at people's faces, but also for the sake of not being wronged as a mother. This made Concubine Yan so excited about her son's filial piety that she couldn't help herself, and even shed tears for a while before she quieted down.

"Hachiro, since you have made up your mind, then your mother will no longer stop you, but don't do it yourself, I will go to your uncle to discuss it during this time, let them also make some efforts, not to mention the rest, our Yan family should always contribute some money." Concubine Yan finally spoke. Li Zhen's uncle is also Yanbei's father, the current head of the Yan family, although most of the affairs of the Yan family are now handed over to Yanbei to take care of, but Yanbei still hangs an official body in Li Su's mansion, so sometimes it is still handled by his father.

Li Zhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and at the same time said with a smile: "Mother didn't say that I also want to meet my uncle, after all, now I, who is a nephew, is very poor, and the army is a big money-eater, if there is no support from my uncle, then I can only borrow from the sixth brother!" ”

Seeing her son's lazy appearance, Concubine Yan slapped her son's head angrily and said, "What else do you have to share with your uncle, if he knows that you follow Liulang's example, I'm afraid he will only be even happier, and he will do his best to support you, even if your cousin knows, I'm afraid he won't object." ”

Li Zhen also immediately understood after hearing this, although the prosperity of the Yan family depends on the relationship between his cousin Yanbei and the sixth brother, but no matter how good the relationship between the cousin and the sixth brother is, it is not as good as him and himself are cousins.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen didn't plan to be polite to the Yan family, and immediately began to think about what kind of support she could get from the Yan family? But at this moment, Concubine Yan suddenly spoke: "Zhen'er, since you are leaving Datang, shouldn't that matter be done?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
