670 The Handover of the Tang Empire (II)
"How?" Tang Ping looked at Xiang Long and asked.
Xiang Long nodded: "This kid, his physical fitness is much stronger than when I was young, and I feel that he respects the prince very much, plus he is a native of Ozhou Province, and he has no dealings with any forces in the court, so he is indeed a very suitable candidate." ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Long also sighed: "It's still young and good, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, only Ping Guogong doesn't seem to have changed much." ”
When the two met, it was the first time to attack the Turks, and at that time, Xiang Long led people to protect Tang Ping, and later the two fought side by side many times.
Now that I think about it, that was more than a decade ago.
Tang Ping didn't know if it was because of the energy of time and space, he really didn't change much, and he barely changed his appearance in more than ten years, and it was more likely that his temperament had changed.
patted Xiang Long on the shoulder and said: "Okay, if you think it's okay, then give him a good practice before the game, and let him use his strength to win the king of soldiers, so that it will be more convincing when he takes over your position." ”
"Hmm!" Xiang Long's orders have come down, and after this competition, he will quit the special brigade and then go to the Chang'an Military Region as a deputy commander.
The orthodox leader is Li Shimin, which is almost equivalent to saying that the Chang'an Military Region will be handed over to him to manage in the future, which can be regarded as a high promotion.
Seeing Xiang Long also leave, Tang Ping looked at the sky and sighed.
In the past few years, I have been outside, and I can occasionally hear the news of the departure of some old ministers from the DPRK and China.
Even if Li Shan gave a physical examination to the important ministers of the court, and there were some medical methods, manpower could not fight against time after all.
Yu Shinan died a few years ago, Du Ruhui has also been seriously ill recently, and Li Shan said that there are probably a few months left.
The old ministers who created the prosperous era of Zhenguan with Li Shimin began to grow old.
Li Shimin privately asked Tang Ping to elect Xiang Long's successor, in fact, he was also hinting that he might hand over the power to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian has done a very good job in the position of prince over the years.
Especially in the years when I went to Oshu Road, Oshu Road, as the first overseas territory of Datang, was built from nothing, just like a new country.
As the observer of the Oshu Road, Li Chengqian participated in every detail and managed the entire Oshu Road in an orderly manner.
At present, there are hundreds of cargo ships that transport iron ore, copper ore, coal and other minerals to Datang every day.
Then there are countless cattle, sheep and horses in the Ozhou pasture, and according to statistics, more than one-third of the resources of Datang are from Ozhou Road.
Li Chengqian's management of Ozhou Road can be regarded as a perfect answer to his position as the crown prince.
There is also Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Wei Shuyu and Li Zhen and others have been working as deputies in various departments in recent years, and it seems that the entire Tang Dynasty is waiting for the younger generation to grow up, and then hand over this emerging huge country to them.
"What does my cousin think? Thinking so intrigued? ”
As soon as Tang Ping looked up, he realized that he really wanted something.
Just now, I was still thinking about Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, but now the two of them are in front of me.
"Ah, nothing!" Even if he is not good at this matter, it is difficult to ask Li Shimin directly.
stood up and asked, "Why are the second uncle and Cheng Qian here?" ”
"Isn't there still ten days left before the whole army will compete? The father said that he would cheer up the soldiers who participated in the competition in various military regions. ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "But I think my father is bored in Chang'an City, so he wants to come out and walk." ”
"You kid, when you sit in my position, you'll know what it means to be bored!" Li Shimin slapped him, but Li Chengqian was startled.
hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Father, don't make such jokes, Father is in good health, and Datang still has to ......"
"Alright, alright!" Li Shimin interrupted him and said: "Don't be so honest, there are no outsiders here, you have done quite well over the years." ”
"Who said that I had to die to put Datang in your hands? Can't you let your father and queen go out for a walk while you are still able to move? ”
"Usually, I can only see what Tianzhu is repairing the big Buddha statue in the fold! The great deserts of Arabia, and the canals they are about to dig! Oh, by the way, and the scenes of the Oshu Road that you depicted in the book when you were in Oshu Road, my father hasn't even been able to see them. ”
"Oh, and your cousin's world, I only heard how amazing that world is, but my father has never been to it once, and my father will have to go to your cousin's world to play at that time."
"So I plan to pass on the throne to you after this military exercise."
Tang Ping didn't expect Li Shimin to really have such a plan, but judging from the recent signs, it was not so strange, he thought of it from the beginning, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to tell him and Li Chengqian directly at this time.
Li Chengqian was also stunned, if he wanted to say that he was the emperor, he must have imagined it.
After all, he has been a prince for so many years, and it is definitely impossible not to fantasize about it.
We social animals occasionally fantasize that we have become the domineering president of the company.
But Li Chengqian in this world really doesn't have the idea of rebelling and usurping the throne, firstly, Li Shimin is too strong, and secondly, his consistent education makes him feel that he does not have the ability to become such a huge emperor of the Tang Empire.
So Li Shimin's words directly made him stupid.
"This kid!" Li Shimin patted him: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much, although the current Datang is much older than when my father took over at that time, but we also have more capable ministers, if there is anything, listen to the opinions of the ministers, and then make your own judgment." ”
"Besides, isn't your cousin still there? When the time comes, my father will go out and take your cousin with you, and you really can't decide something, just call your cousin at the convenience store and ask me. ”
"Father!" Li Chengqian's eyes were a little moist.
"Alright." Li Shimin stood up and said: "Let's do the right thing first, let's cheer up the various military regions!" Speaking of which, this Chang'an Military Region is all soldiers brought out by me! ”
Tang Ping nodded, went out first and sounded the assembly number, and the soldiers who had been training everywhere rushed over.
Li Shimin was also very familiar with them, so he didn't say much, just took the microphone that Tang Ping handed him and said: "You are all soldiers trained by my Li Shimin, let me ask, do you have the confidence to defeat other military regions this time?" ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
