Whoever hears such a thing will be angry.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin just smiled and said: "This Yuan Shoucheng does have the ability, he caused me to go to the underworld, if it weren't for Judge Cui's help, would I still be able to come back alive?" He is not afraid that I will settle accounts with him, and dare to say such a rebellious thing? However, I am a person who loves talents, so I won't do anything to him. ”

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin, and his heart was full of tastes.

Such a person deserves his successful career, he is too open-minded, not only did he not get angry with Yuan Shoucheng, but also praised him.

Empress Changsun said: "I'm afraid this is what people often say about the courage of the artist, your Majesty, it would be good if such a person was used by the imperial court." ”

"I'm afraid that the court can't keep him at all. I also admire him very much, he was able to calculate the Jade Emperor's will to the Dragon King of Jinghe, and now, I don't know where Tang Xuanzang learned the scriptures? ”

"Father, a worldly master like him will definitely not be bound by the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty, and he is naturally unwilling to be an official in the court, is Yuan Tiangang his nephew?"

Li Tai was curious about this question.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "I don't know." What's the point? Tai'er, go back and pack up, and tomorrow your father will personally send you out. ”

"Well, how many troops does my father plan to give me?"

"There are 50,000 elite soldiers, and the country of Luojia is a small country, so you don't need to mobilize people to deal with them."

50,000 soldiers is not a small number, Li Tai doesn't want so many soldiers, and thinks about it, he has never led soldiers to fight, although he has learned the art of war, but he can only talk about soldiers on paper, and the more soldiers the better.

"Thank you, Emperor Xie, your son will definitely live up to his mission."

After bidding farewell to Li Shimin and his wife, Li Tai came to the East Palace to bid farewell to Li Chengqian.

The East Palace is being lit up, with a festive atmosphere.

Li Tai was a little weak-hearted, for fear that he would ask about fortune-telling, and said a lot of congratulations.

"What's so good about getting married? I'm too young. ”

Li Chengqian didn't want to get married at all, but his emperor's will could not be disobeyed.

"I heard that Fang Zhuzhu is both talented and beautiful, and she is a rare good woman."

Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "I don't like Fang Xuanling's appearance the most, many of my father's ideas were all out of him, what's so good about this political marriage?" Are you really going to go on a campaign? ”

"Is that still fake? I'm going out tomorrow, and I can't attend your wedding, so I'll give you a big gift when I return victorious. ”

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said, "Can you do it?" I don't expect you to come back victorious, as long as you come back safely. ”

He still doesn't look down on him?

"Underestimate people, don't you? Although I have no experience, but the people my father sent to me are brave people, and even if I can't do it, can't they? ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Since you are only going on the expedition, why do you still want to go?" ”

"Who's to say furnishings? My role as the head coach as a prince naturally boosts morale, and if you think about it, I can go to the battlefield at such a young age, and the enemy is not scared. ”

"Bragging. All you have to do is make sure you come back safely. Fourth brother, if you meet that person named Yuan Shoucheng outside, you must ask him to help me calculate how old I can be to ascend the throne and become the emperor. ”

, this kid won't change?

He wants to be the emperor, unless Li Shimin returns to the west. Isn't this equivalent to how old Li Shimin can live? He was his eldest son.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you in such a hurry, the steamed buns in the basket are yours after all."

Li Chengqian said: "Can this be the same? The feeling of my father being the emperor and I being the emperor is different. ”

"The last time you were looking for someone to tell a fortune, my father knew about it, and he didn't lose his temper?"

He had to ask this question, and he felt like he would suffocate himself if he didn't.

Li Chengqian's expression immediately turned green: "What, my father knows about that?" ”

"What? He didn't reproach you? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "No, who wants to harm me?" It's disgusting. ”

So that's the case, Li Shimin is really big-minded, he didn't hold him accountable for such a big thing? It's hard to understand.

"It's okay if you don't, I've been sweating for you. It's okay. ”

Li Tai looked at him with a look of righteous indignation, and his heart was cold, it turned out that he thought that Li Shimin was a special favor for him, but now he understands that people still love Li Chengqian.

The autumn was high and cool, and the gate of Donghua in Chang'an City was crowded, and Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials to see off the soldiers.

Li Tai was named the general of the expedition to the south, and Feng Li and Xie Shufang were the deputy marshals.

Li Shimin was in front of all the officials, his face was full of reluctance.

"King Wei, as the general of the Southern Expedition this time, you must follow the opinions and suggestions of the two deputy marshals, and you must not make your own decisions."

"The sons obey the order, and the sons must live up to their mission and return triumphantly."

The crown prince Li Chengqian pulled him aside and told him to remember his words.

"Don't worry, prince, I will definitely return victorious."

In front of everyone, his answer was very vague.

Li Shimin was very satisfied when he saw that their brothers were getting along in harmony, and said to his ministers: "If it is decided today, I will be safe in the Tang Dynasty, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

The ministers shouted "Long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Tai glanced at everyone, but didn't see Wei Zheng, and wondered in his heart, where did this Wei servant shoot? Didn't you come to see him off?

He didn't come forward for such a big matter, but it was a little unsettling.

Doesn't he approve of him going on a campaign to make meritorious contributions?

I was puzzled in my heart, and it was not easy to ask in front of a crowd, so I had to say to Li Shimin: "Father, where did Lord Wei go today?" ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "He is naturally going on a business trip, at this time he should appease some former prince's former ministers in Cizhou, this Wei Zheng is very capable." ”

"That's it, annoying my father to bid him farewell on my behalf."

"Okay, maybe if you come back from the expedition, he may not be able to return to Chang'an. Okay, let's go? ”

Li Tai bid farewell to the ministers and Li Shimin's father and son, and rode in the direction of Luojia Kingdom.

This time, he can only succeed and not fail, and he must earn a political capital for himself to have a chance to rise to the throne one day.

The trip was a long way, and Li Tai complimented the two lieutenants very much. These two are Li Jiancheng's old subordinates of Li Yuanji, and if they build a good relationship with them, they may be used one day.

Feng Li and Xie Shufang also appreciated Li Tai's initiative to take command of the expedition at a young age, and knew that he was a prince with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, so they naturally respected him quite a lot.

The group walked for seven days before they reached the border pass.

He had to plan how to fight next.

First, they set up camp and settled down, and the long journey was too tiring, so they told the soldiers to rest first and then discuss.
