260. The Great Victory of the Northern Expedition (II)

As for Li Chengqian, he mainly studied with the eldest grandson Wuji, and there was nothing he needed to do, but just looking at it like this, he was terrified, and it was the first time in his life that he really realized that it was not easy to be a prince.

"I believe that this battle will not last long, and even if it does, I will raise food." Li Shimin was silent for a long time before he said this.

"Recently, there have been a lot of complaints in the capital, and it seems that they are all aimed at His Majesty's forcible requisition of grain?" The eldest grandson Wuji lit a charcoal fire, sat down in front of Li Shi, glanced at him, and said.

The weather was quite cold at the beginning of February, but this year it was even worse than usual, especially because this place is close to Yuhua Mountain, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, and it is a little colder than in the city.

Li Chengqian was still a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and his eldest grandson Wuji was afraid that he would be frozen out, and charcoal fires burned in the tent every day.

"It's not that you don't know my temperament, as long as it's what I want to do, how can you care about those rumors? As long as the Northern Expedition is victorious, all this will be fine, and I believe that the pharmacist will not let me down. Li Shimin said.

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he glanced at Li Shimin's face and finally didn't speak.

Li Chengqian was listening to the conversation between his father and uncle, and he was a little uneasy.

After the New Year, he turned twelve years old, and he was thirteen years old, although he did not officially participate in political affairs, but he was made the prince at the age of eight.

After a few months of training with the eldest grandson Wuji, he still understands what he should know.

The battle of the Northern Expedition was like a huge stone, which weighed deeply on the hearts of his father and the courtiers, as long as the good news did not come for a day, they would not be at peace for a day.

"Gao Ming, you've been following Lord Eldest Sun for some time, but what do you gain?" Li Shimin probably felt that this was a bit heavy, so he didn't talk much, and asked the eldest grandson Wuji a few questions about grain and grass, and after a while, his eyes turned to his son.

"Returning to my father, since my sons came to the grain and grass camp, I know that it is not easy to be a monarch, and I can better understand the difficulties of my father's management of a country."

"Erchen saw that the eldest grandson was busy from day to midnight every day, and sometimes, with documents and letters in his hands, he fell asleep against the table, and he knew that it was not easy for a person to do something." Li Chengqian said.

"Very good, you can see this, which means that this experience has not come in vain, since you arrived at the grain and grass camp, you have only returned to the palace twice, and when you go back for the New Year, you have only stayed in the palace for two days."

"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to stand this suffering, but now it seems that I underestimated you, Gao Ming, you are very good." Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian quietly a few times, and reached out to pat him twice on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

"My father praised it falsely, and when my son came to my uncle, I knew that I needed to learn too much, and my son would try to do what a prince should do, and he would not disappoint his father." Li Chengqian hurriedly said.

Li Shimin came to Yuhua Mountain's Li Si, the front line came good news, the Northern Expedition commander Li Jing broke the Turkic army in Yinshan, into the opponent's lair, such a great victory, the front line will naturally not have a moment of delay, Xinbao was sent to the capital as soon as possible.

Because Li Shimin is in Yuhua Mountain, all the urgent side newspapers who come to Beijing have to go here.

For some reasons, before this good news arrived in the capital, it was intercepted by Li Shimin, he took this good news book, a pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears and did not notice, his eyes were on those few lines of words, back and forth.

"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji, who was with him, saw that the tears in his eyes were about to drip onto the paper, so he had to remind him.

He was also stunned by this huge good news, but compared to Li Shimin, it was a little better.

"Oh, auxiliary, look at it, pharmacist, he really didn't disappoint me, the Northern Expedition was won, and I, Datang, will never have to face the threat of northern plundering and warfare from now on." Li Shimin came to his senses, and Li Chengqian, who was standing behind him, handed over a face towel very cleverly, Li Shimin took it, wiped it indiscriminately, and handed the good news in his hand to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Yes, we finally won this battle." The eldest grandson Wuji also had tears in his eyes, and it had been almost half a year since this battle was fought in September last year.

In the past six months, Li Shimin is not the only one who has been working hard and restless day and night, but the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are also worried.

Especially the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who are important ministers in charge of major affairs, their bodies are about to collapse, and now they finally see the good news coming, and the excitement in their hearts is really beyond the comprehension of others.

"Wang Qi, prepare the horse, you can set off to return to Beijing, auxiliary machine, although this battle is won, it is estimated that it will take a short time for the follow-up to finish, and you can't relax for a while, don't forget the form, let people take advantage of any loopholes." After the excitement in Li Shimin's heart passed, he quickly came to his senses, he ordered the attendant to prepare the horse, and then explained to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that before the army returns to the court, the minister guarantees that there will be no mistakes in the allocation of grain and grass." The eldest grandson Wuji's face turned pale and hurriedly assured Li Shimin.

Then, a very strange thing happened in Kyoto, the Northern Expedition, which was supposed to be sent to Kyoto by the post roads, was brought back by the emperor himself.

After Li Shimin rushed back, regardless of his tiredness, he went directly to Shangshu Province, except for Du Ruhui who could not grow the dynasty due to illness, and the eldest grandson Wuji was in the grain and grass camp, and the others were busy with their heads bored, and they didn't even notice that Li Shimin came in, so naturally no one saluted him.

Li Shimin didn't care about this, and after he came in, the first thing he said was: "Good news came from the north." ”

"Your Majesty is here, the ministers have seen Your Majesty, and there is no good news from the north." Fang Xuanling and others thought that Li Shimin was asking the northern border newspaper, and subconsciously answered.

"What I mean is that good news has come from the north, Li Jing's army has broken through the Turkic defense line and entered their base camp, Jieli Khan has fled, and Li Jing has sent people to encircle and suppress the pursuit." Li Shimin looked at the few old ministers in front of him who didn't know the situation, and involuntarily showed a mischievous smile on his face, and repeated it loudly.

"Really? When did this happen? Ministers, ministers and others are always paying attention to this news from the north, and I don't see any good news? Fang Xuanling and the other three Shangshu all looked at Li Shimin with a blank face, thinking that Li Shimin was joking.

With such a big matter, it is impossible for a few of them to know no news at all? You know, when such good news comes back, the victory drum is about to sound outside the city gate, how can they not know any news?

"Of course it's true, the good news is here, isn't it in Yuhua Mountain, I received the good news in the capital one step ahead, so I personally brought it back, and arranged the victory drum." Li Shimin looked at the appearance of these people, couldn't bear to play tricks on them anymore, and took out the good news in his arms.
