Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 233 Why do we need to talk privately?

In the palace, in the Hall of Wude, Li Shimin was handling government affairs.

In the memorials written by hundreds of officials in the past few days, many said that there were often violent noises outside Chang'an City, and there was thunder on a sunny day, which lasted for several days.

So Li Shimin sent someone to investigate and found that Lin Heng was working on something new in his workshop.

Weapons of mass destruction.
What has this kid been busy with recently?
I don’t know how the matter at the Royal Bank is being handled. Does this guy still have time to do these things?
Then he thought about the recently formed Shenji Battalion led by Su Dingfang. Is Lin Heng studying any weapons?

Weapons of mass destruction, what does this kid know?
Li Ningxi, should I call him back? It’s been so long.

There are a lot of things about Lin Heng.

On Li Lizhi's side, her engagement with Chang Sun Chong had been terminated long ago. After such a long time, it was time to find a new marriage for Chang Le.

Several families have come to propose marriage, and Guanyin Maid is handling the matter.

The family affairs are neither too much nor too little, that's all. The troublesome thing is the current state affairs, launching a war against Goryeo.

Almost every day, I have to discuss with people in the court and customize strategies. In short, it is a troublesome thing.

While he was dealing with the memorial, Chen Zheng knocked lightly on the palace door.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience."

Li Shimin waved his hand, his expression unchanged: "Just let him in."

Li Chengqian came in immediately and bowed to say hello: "I have seen your Majesty."

Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, wondering: "What's the matter?"

Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, regarding the war in Goryeo, I heard that my father is going to personally conquer the war."

Li Shimin's face showed some resentment: "Yes! Goryeo was too rampant in the past, and now there are Guo Yong's Liaodong rebels. If I don't show them some color, these people will really think that the Tang Dynasty is a soft persimmon." !”

"My son wants to go on an expedition with his father."

Li Shimin didn't hesitate at all: "No."

"I have made arrangements. Xuanling will be in the rear and preside over the government affairs. You will supervise the country on my behalf for a period of time. This will be a kind of training for you."

Although it was a battle against Goryeo, it was still a battlefield. Li Shimin would not allow his prince to make any mistakes when he was in danger. This was no longer the time when Li Shimin fought in his early years. Now that the Tang Dynasty had soldiers and generals, there was no need for the prince to take risks.

And he, Li Shimin, has been fighting for so many years and is very familiar with the battlefield. There are also several generals who have experienced hundreds of battles and are not worried at all.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he thought that Li Shimin was not confident about his ability, and then stated the reason: "Father, as the prince, my son should advance and retreat with his father. Besides, if my son and I go together, we can also advance." Boost the morale of the army."

Li Shimin shook his head, still refusing: "You have been studying and studying the ways of governing the country since you were a child. You have not been deeply involved in the battlefield. You don't know that the battlefield is cruel and the sword has no eyes. If I leave Chang'an, there will always be someone in charge."

"I'll leave it to you to rest assured, so I won't mention any more talk about going together. Everyone has their own strengths, and they must be placed in the right place."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt regretful.

What he was thinking about was that the emperor sent his father to attack His Highness, and the prince was in the capital. Later, his father gained a great reputation by fighting in all directions. In the end, the conflict between the meritorious party and the princeling became stronger and evolved into the coup.
He was wondering if he would end up like this in the future. He had been studying hard for so many years, but he always felt that he was not taken seriously by Li Shimin. He was worried that one day if his father looked down on him, he would change his status as prince to other people.

Nowadays, Qing Que is still very young, and his father is particularly fond of him, and his father also has other sons.Li Chengqian had many and heavy thoughts on his mind, and he couldn't help but think about these things.

He was very scared, so he wanted to gain some meritorious service to ensure his status, instead of waiting in this helpless situation until he succeeded to the throne.
Li Chengqian didn't want to say anything anymore and left immediately. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's back and sighed deeply.

Why couldn't he see what Li Chengqian was thinking, so he had to temper him like this?

Once a country's crown prince is established, it is impossible to replace him unless he makes a big mistake. He hopes that Li Chengqian can learn from Lin Heng in this regard, learn from Lin Heng's naturally free and undisciplined mind, and don't have to worry about unnecessary things.

Li Shimin has been deeply involved in the military since he was 16 years old. He didn't know that he could get military honors in the military. There, Li Shimin had a narrow escape from death. He was in danger many times. He always put his head in his waistband to fight for merit. .

Now that he is the emperor, he is used to it and does not want to inflict war on his children and grandchildren. He has fought for so many years and conquered the Tang Dynasty. All future wars will be fought by himself. It can also be regarded as a blessing to children and grandchildren.

However, it was difficult for Li Shimin to say these words to Li Chengqian, or he didn't want to.

Whoever makes his voice louder than the thunder will remain silent in the fields for a long time. Li Chengqian must understand a similar truth.

Li Shimin was not in a very good mood when he left the palace, or he felt a little unspeakably uncomfortable.

My father doesn't let me go to the battlefield. Is it because I'm afraid that something will happen to me, or because I'm worried that I won't be able to cause trouble to my father?
Although he does have little military experience
With this uneasy and sad mood, Li Chengqian felt that he should still talk to Lin Heng.

This person has little ambition in politics, but he is shrewd, capable, and thoughtful, and he can give himself some ideas after thinking about it.

In the Lin Family Manor, it is common for passers-by to see the Prince's carriage and horses arriving. As long as Lin's Prince Consort lives here, big shots will come frequently. Princesses, Prince Consort, high-ranking officials, and even His Majesty have all been here.

He didn't pay much attention at the moment.

After arriving at Lin's house, I heard the leisurely sound of a piano.

Then I heard Lin Heng's voice.

"Good job, reward!"

Following the sound, I walked into the study and saw Li Ningxi thinking about how to play the next piece. Lin Heng opposite was drinking tea and admiring it.

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched. His father's side was about to start a war, but Lin Heng was actually enjoying it at home?
Didn’t you teach in Taixue before?

It seems that he has been taking leave because he was injured.
Lin Heng found the trick on how to have fun and be a cheerful person.

"Lin Heng, here you go."

The two of them suddenly looked at the door in surprise. Lin Heng suddenly panicked. When did the prince come? Didn't he see the two kissing just now?
He immediately stood up to greet him: "His Royal Highness, you are too far away to greet me. Come in quickly. Let's have some good new tea."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Your injury seems to be almost healed, why don't you go to Taixue to teach?"

Lin Heng chuckled: "It's not completely healed yet. There's no problem in moving around."

Li Ningxi also bowed and saluted: "I have met the emperor brother."

"Ning Xi, Gu and Lin Heng have something to discuss."

After hearing this, Li Ningxi found a reason to go out, leaving space for the two of them.

Lin Heng was a little confused. Why should he avoid people?
