846, the prince dog eats the dog (above)
"Father, the sons think that Jingwen's cannon has great shortcomings!" Li Chengqian suddenly came out and said.
And everyone looked at Li Chengqian, this Li Chengqian actually came out to speak at this time, what did he want to do? And many people know that Jingwen and Li Chengqian have contradictions, so everyone is speculating about what Li Chengqian wants to do. However, since the prince has spoken, everyone must listen to it too. And Li Shimin's face was a little strange, after all, Li Chengqian actually took the initiative to find Jingwen's bad luck, which made Li Shimin also lose face. Li Shimin just finished praising these cannons just now, but they are Zhenguo artifacts. But now Li Chengqian immediately came over and said that this cannon had shortcomings, which must have made Li Shimin lose face.
Of course, if Li Chengqian had some military talent, or knowledge such as craftsmen, then maybe Li Shimin would still recognize it. However, Li Shimin did not dare to compliment Li Chengqian's military talent, and Li Shimin would not let Li Chengqian learn the knowledge of craftsmen, so Li Chengqian must be looking for trouble and picking bones in eggs. As for why there are bones in the egg, there must be a contradiction with Jingwen.
"Since the prince has something to say, let's say it!" Li Shimin said.
And Li Chengqian took the initiative to say: "Father, the sons and daughters think that this cannon costs too much, and it kills and injures the enemy too hard, which hurts the heavens and peace!" These cannons cost a lot of bronze, and the copper of my Datang is mainly used to mint money, and this cannon consumes more than six stones of copper at once, which is enough to mint countless copper coins. And if you want to equip the whole army, this is probably even more massive. How much copper must be consumed in it, so the son begged his father not to popularize this cannon first, because it consumes too much. ”
Jingwen can understand this Li Chengqian, and he is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open. The contradiction between Li Chengqian and Jingwen is very deep, and it is almost to the point that Jingwen supports it, and he opposes it. Now Jingwen supports the popularization of this cannon. However, Li Chengqian immediately began to oppose it, indicating that he absolutely wanted to oppose these popularization cannons. This can be said to be unprincipled, anyway, Jingwen supports it, and he opposes it. And Jingwen is against it, maybe he supports it instead, this kind of thing is not for the good of the country at all, but in fact, it is for the sake of vindictiveness, and he is specifically against Jingwen. As for what consumes too much bronze, then this is not a reason at all. Fools know that these bronzes are worth the cost, because if they are used to make money. I'm afraid that even if it is all thrown into the army, it may not be able to produce such a huge killing effect. Every time dozens of people are fired, they will not die or be crippled, and such a fierce killing effect is simply a super brave general. Even, even a brave general like Qin Qiongcheng biting Jin may not be able to kill dozens of people on the battlefield for a minute. This cannon fires about once a minute, so it is capable of killing dozens of people every minute. So this investment is worth it, as long as there are 30 cannons in a 10,000-person team, I am afraid that this 10,000-person team can be used as a force of more than 50,000 people.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's appearance, and was a little disappointed in his heart. Li Chengqian actually opposed it for the sake of opposition, and even ignored things that were beneficial to the country. If you want to say nasty. In fact, Li Shimin also hates Jingwen a lot. But even Li Shimin hates Jingwen more, but doesn't he have to marry his daughter to him, or even continue to reuse him? As an emperor, of course, you know that it is impossible for every courtier to make you like. But you must also appoint him and let him use his talents. The relationship between Jingwen and Li Shimin is no longer as good as before, and Qianwen is just a lonely minister without any power, but now he has become the leader of a faction. Therefore, Jingwen is powerful, and Li Shimin doesn't like it very much. However, Li Shimin still had to appoint Jingwen, because Jingwen's whimsical ideas and various abilities were beneficial to Datang. But Li Chengqian was so impulsive and emotional. Because he hated Jingwen, he deliberately suppressed it, and even stifled everything that improved the combat effectiveness of the army, so didn't this pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon?
When Jing Wen was about to come out to refute, another guy actually took the initiative to come out.
"Father, the son also has something to say!"
"Huh? Is it Ke'er? Li Shimin was a little surprised.
The person who came out of this is the third prince Li Ke. And Li Ke is now the so-called General Zuowu Houwei, strictly speaking, he belongs to the military attaché. However, this military attache is relatively empty, and everyone just regards him as a prince, not as a general. But now Li Shimin invited all the generals to come and see this cannon, so Li Ke also came to see it as the general of Zuowu Houwei. But he actually came out to refute Li Chengqian, and everyone clearly saw that these two princes did not deal with each other, but everyone also knew a little, these two guys obviously wanted to repeat the original road to seize the throne and seize the throne. But now that Li Ke actually helped Jingwen speak, is there any problem here? And everyone is also wondering, will Jingwen and Li Ke have anything to do with each other? Although Jingwen and Li Ke have a hatred for taking their wives, for a politician, this hatred is nothing. For a person with great ambitions, his wife and daughter can be used as bargaining chips, which is nothing. So everyone is also speculating, did Jingwen and Li Ke actually hook up?
And Jingwen looked at this scene, and he knew that what he liked to see had finally happened. Li Ke and Li Chengqian faced each other, and then obviously wanted to tear each other down. This is obviously a struggle for power and profit, and then suppressing the other party. Li Ke finally seized an opportunity now, so naturally there is no reason to let it go.
As for Li Chengqian, he looked at Li Ke viciously, obviously wanting to eat Li Ke. As if he hadn't seen it, Li Ke continued to come out and sue everyone.
"Father, what the eldest brother of the crown prince said is very ridiculous. It's just nonsense, so Erchen couldn't help but come out to question it, and asked his father and eldest brother to forgive him. And Erchen is also working hard for the good of my Datang and for the prosperity of my Datang forever, so I think my father and eldest brother will not blame me! Li Ke said.
Okay, this Li Ke actually claimed to be for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, this is simply boasting, but everyone knows what's going on. This scene is actually just two princes eating dogs! As for Jingwen, he is also very happy to see it, after all, there are not many opportunities for this kind of prince's public dog-eat-dog! (To be continued......)
