Chapter 367: Unshakable

Cui Anqian did not object to Li Chengbo to follow the expedition, so that the political hall could successfully pass this decision, so that Gao Chibang felt a huge pressure, it should be said that the ten-year-old Li Chengbo followed the expedition, there is still a danger, especially the Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyong's crow army, known as the most fierce army, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, even if it is a strong iron-blooded army, it also needs to arouse a high degree of vigilance, in the face of such an opponent, Li Chengbo followed the army to go out, it must be worrying many people.

But Cui Anqian will not object to this decision, he has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he is getting older and older, watching the emperor climb to the top step by step, and seeing the Tang Dynasty getting stronger and stronger, this is undoubtedly a happy thing, but he also has something to worry about, that is, what will be the fate of the Cui family in the future, not only him, but any person in the Cui family should think about this problem, because the current Cui family is too powerful, making others envious and jealous.

Cui Anqian himself is needless to say, Cui Shenyou also became the prince and young master, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Pingzhang matter under the door of the same book, two people in the Cui family are prime ministers of the DPRK, and Cui Yanchong is also the envoy of the Guizhou Middle Dao, belonging to the top level of the Tang Dynasty, and the three brothers of the family have all jumped to high positions, which can not only see the trust and confidence of the emperor, but also the glory of the Cui family.

Of course, the most important thing is Cui Hanlei, as the queen's mother, she can be said to be the most powerful backer of the Cui family, and the love between the emperor and Cui Hanlei is enough to ensure that the Cui family can continue to prosper.

As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child, just the identity of Queen Cui Hanlei's mother, and it is not enough to guarantee what will happen in the future, but the stability of Li Chengbo's status is the decisive foundation for the Cui family to prosper in the future.

Li Chengbo grew up beside his grandparents since he was a child, and his relationship with Cui Anqian and Liang is very deep, and Li Chengbo has also been influenced by his parents since he was a child, and he has an excellent character. Not only the Cui family praised it, but even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also amazed, and everyone knew that Li Chengbo would inherit the throne in the future.

But just by virtue of his excellent character, if he wants to inherit the throne, he is still a little reluctant, compared with the emperor, Li Chengbo still has some gaps, the emperor has been displaced since he was a child, and he has encountered danger many times, if it were not for his own wit and God's blessing. He had already died in Huangquan, and later he decisively entered the bandits' den, and created the iron-blooded army of Megatron with his own ability, thus gradually rectifying the fragmented situation of the Tang Dynasty, starting from pacifying the situation in the south, and ascending to the throne step by step.

From this aspect, Li Chengbo needs to be sharpened, he needs to know the suffering of the people, and he needs to know the cruelty of fighting.

Therefore, the emperor asked Li Chengbo to follow the army on the expedition. It has a particularly profound meaning, and Cui Anqian even believes that after this expedition, Li Chengbo is likely to be canonized as the crown prince.

Of course, there is danger in going on the expedition. But don't worry too much, Gao Chibang has followed the emperor for many years, and I'm afraid he will do his best to protect Li Chengbo's safety. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army also know the severity and will never let Li Chengbo get into danger.

After returning to the mansion, Cui Anqian and Liang talked about Li Chengbo's going to follow the army on the expedition. He had to say that the Liang family was going to see Li Chengbo every once in a while, and if he suddenly couldn't see Li Chengbo, and suddenly learned that Li Chengbo had gone out with the army, wouldn't he be in a hurry and couldn't eat or sleep.

As Cui Anqian expected, after the Liang family heard the news, he immediately began to wipe his tears, saying that Li Chengbo was so young, how could he follow the army to fight, what if he encountered danger, and when it came to the excitement, he even prepared to go to the palace and go directly to the emperor to say.

Cui Anqian was helpless, reprimanded the Liang family, saying that women have long hair and short knowledge, the emperor let Li Chengbo follow the army to go on the expedition is meaningful, Li Chengbo will inherit the unification in the future, if there is no outstanding ability, how can you continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the wisdom of the emperor, no one in the world knows, the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, if Li Chengbo's ability is too poor, how can he rest assured that the emperor can hand over the Tang Dynasty to Li Chengbo.

Liang understands these truths, in fact, when Cui Anqian just said it, she understood, but emotionally speaking, Liang just can't get by, in her opinion, Li Chengbo is still a child, even if it is an ordinary scholar family, the main task of a ten-year-old child is to study, and he will never go to risk himself.

Liang's performance suddenly made Cui An think of his daughter Cui Hanlei, although Cui Hanlei is already the queen's mother, but in the issue of children, there is not much difference from Liang's understanding, he didn't have time to do more Liang's work, quickly got up, and told his subordinates to get ready, he was about to go to the palace to meet the queen's mother.

Liang also followed him and insisted on going to the palace together.

When he came to the palace, Cui Anqian's worries became a reality.

The emperor is anxious, it turns out that the queen mother is crying in the harem, so that the emperor has no choice, as long as he temporarily dodges, this Li Chengbo followed the army to go on the expedition, has been decided, and now all parties are secretly making preparations, the army will be pulled out in a month, and it is impossible to change all this decision.

It seems that the wise emperor doesn't have much to do with the queen, the key is that several concubines also support the queen, and they don't agree with Li Chengbo's expedition, and they all think that Li Chengbo is too young.

The harem can achieve such an understanding, and Li Chengbo's well-behaved and good character has a lot to do with it, the emperor's requirements for Li Chengbo have always been very strict, and he will never spoil him, and he is relatively casual to several other children, which has formed a situation where Li Chengbo cares for his younger siblings, but several younger siblings are bold and dare to say anything in front of Li Chengbo.

The harem knows that Li Chengbo will inherit the unification in the future, according to Li Chengbo's character, after inheriting the unification, the younger siblings will definitely be able to be safe, so the imperial concubine of the harem also loves Li Chengbo.

Under the crying of the queen mother and many imperial concubines in the harem, the emperor was even more unable to parry, and could only dodge.

Cui Anqian looked at the emperor with a wry smile on his face, and sighed, this emperor is really a man of temperament, it is said that when he encounters such a situation, the emperor can lose his temper, even if it is the queen's mother, at most he will cry, and he will not be able to change his decision in the end.

Before Cui Anqian could speak, the Liang family beside him opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty, the old body also has something to say, since ancient times, the people have cherished the children of the family, Chengbo is only ten years old, if it is an extraordinary period, Chengbo at this age, with the army, even if he leads the army to fight, the old body will not have any opinions, but now the situation is different, Chengbo studied hard in the palace, the emperor opened a lecture feast, the old body felt that it was very good, why must he go with the army, at a young age, see so much blood, what is the benefit......"

Cui Anqian's old face turned red all of a sudden, and before he could comfort the emperor, his wife spoke, and he was stunned, which made the emperor think about it.

"Mother-in-law, I have also thought about it carefully, you see that this iron-blooded army was created by me, the generals in the army are brave, and only my orders are followed, but in the future, Chengbo will lead the army, and they will definitely be loyal to Chengbo, if Chengbo can't get acquainted with the generals in advance, it's always a little bad."

"I also know that Chengbo is young, and I have strict requirements for Chengbo for many years, it is said that parents should not let their young children go out on adventures, but Chengbo's identity is different, and it is appropriate to suffer hardships, I once decided to let Chengbo go out to travel, but this decision met with the queen's resolute opposition, and it was over, and now the matter of contracting to follow the army on the expedition was decided by me personally, and it has nothing to do with the political affairs hall, and this decision cannot be changed."

"I know my mother-in-law's worries, but this is a big matter, and I ask my mother-in-law to fulfill and persuade the queen, at such a moment, I must show the bearing of the mother of the world, so that Chengbo will happily go out with the army."

After the emperor finished speaking, Cui An sighed, the emperor said everything that should be said, what else can he say.

Liang also sighed, tears soon came out, let Li Chengbo follow the army at a young age, and she couldn't bear to see the bloody scene, but the emperor said so, what else could she do, she could only persuade her daughter.

The Liang family followed the eunuch into the harem, leaving the emperor and Cui Anqian.

"Father-in-law, this expedition to the feudal towns and Turks, the imperial court is doing its best, I also attach great importance to it, a year has passed, the south has been completely stabilized, especially the large-scale development of commerce and trade, providing a steady stream of taxes for the imperial court, the burden of the people has been reduced a lot, it can be said that everything is ready, so the expedition must be a complete victory, Chengbo followed the army to the expedition, on the one hand, it is knowledge and tempering, on the other hand, it is also on behalf of me, this matter can not be changed in any way, I can't imagine, the queen and the princesses are opposed, If such emotions affect Chengbo, my hard work will be in vain. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely persuade the queen, Chengbo followed the army to the expedition, the minister agreed, although the minister's heart also has worries, there is also reluctance, after all, the minister watched Chengbo grow up, but what the emperor said is that Chengbo is not a child of ordinary people, and must go through a lot of tempering......"

After Cui Anqian finished speaking, he saw the emperor pacing slowly with his hands behind his back.

The emperor has been running towards the age of his establishment, it is the most mature and stable time, many big things are in his heart, any decision is far-sighted, the northern feudal towns and Turks must be exterminated, in order to ensure the real stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, so on this issue, the emperor's determination will not waver.
