Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 400: Public opinion is boiling, Japan has silver mines!
As elite troops appeared one after another, the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an City reached its peak at this time.

Cheers and shouts never ceased.

On the viewing platform.

Li Shimin frowned and glanced at the people below. These elite soldiers had already lined up and stood in their respective areas, as if waiting for something.

Why don’t I see Su Chen?
As the host of this military parade, Su Chen disappeared after the parade began.

It’s really strange!
Not only Li Shimin had such doubts, many officials present also had such curiosity.

Just now.

On the distant street, bursts of horn sounds came from far away and got closer.

Countless people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a rectangular piece of iron gradually appearing in everyone's sight, driven by several wheels.

"What it is?"

"What a strange thing, it looks like a carriage?"

"and many more!"

"Look, there seems to be someone in there!"

"It's Butcher Su!"

"Butcher Su is sitting inside!"

"He is actually controlling this strange thing!"

"..."

coming!

Li Chengqian stood up slowly, and while everyone was still staring at the van, he had already walked down the viewing stand under the protection of the guards.

"His Majesty?"

"What is your majesty going to do?"

"Everyone, please be patient."

Gao Shilian smiled and said, "Your Majesty will personally review the three armies."

Ok?
What does this old guy know?
Everyone's eyes turned to Gao Shilian, and then looked into the distance.

Li Shimin said softly: "Is that Su Chen sitting inside?"

"Exactly."

"What is this going to do?"

"Just wait and see, Your Majesty."

"Gao Jian!"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied.

If these things before could still keep Li Shimin calm, the van driven by Su Chen far exceeded his imagination.

Gao Shilian smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to explain this thing."

"I only know that this is the agreement between Su Chen and Your Majesty, and that this thing is called a van."

A van?
Many ministers with sharp ears heard the conversation between Gao Shilian and Li Shimin, and looked at the van curiously.

I just feel weird.

"Your Majesty, please get in the car."

Su Chen grinned.

Li Chengqian threw his clothes and got into the van.

After the modification, the van had a two-foot square skylight, and this skylight was prepared for Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian revealed his upper body from the van and began to parade through the streets under Su Chen's control, the scene became boiling.

Li Chengqian waved his arms at the people with a smile.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Loud shouts continued to ring out.

Li Chengqian shouted with his real arms, "Long live the Tang Dynasty."

For an instant.

Thousands of people in Chang'an City changed their tone at the same time.

The four words "Long live the Tang Dynasty" rose into the sky.

Subsequently.

The van slowly drove towards the elite troops.

Li Chengqian waved his arms, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers."

"It's not hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"

……

These two guys...

Li Shimin's whole body was tense, and his buttocks were off the seat.

He felt the blood in his body begin to boil at this moment. It was the impulse he had when he was about to kill the enemy in the battle.

Not to mention the officials, they were so excited that their eyes were almost bloodshot.

Among them, military generals are the most powerful.

of course.

Different from them are the envoys from various countries.

The envoys were more or less silent. Some were shocked by the unity of the Tang Dynasty, while others were naturally afraid of the military strength displayed by the Tang Dynasty at this time.

Ask yourself, facing such a powerful Tang Dynasty, do they really have the ability to resist the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?

the answer is negative.

Even if all the countries unite together, they may not be able to resist the military force of the Tang Dynasty!
As the car stopped under the viewing stand, Li Chengqian walked out of the car, followed closely by Su Chen.

"The military parade ends here, all soldiers return to their posts!"

"Yes!"

The various formations headed by Li Dejian left the performance venue one after another.

The onlookers only withdrew their gazes when the last soldier left.

When I looked towards the viewing stand, everyone had already left.

The officers in charge of maintaining order also spoke up one after another, "It's over, everyone go away."

"Don't gather here, just go do what you need to do."

Under constant urging, the onlookers left reluctantly.

However, the discussion about the military parade did not end, but became more and more intense.

In the crowd. Xu Qizhuang looked at Jiang Yang, "How is it, have you drawn everything?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Yang raised the paper in his hand and said with a smile, "I have drawn everything. I just need to go back and add the colors."

"Well, let's go."

……

"How does it feel to be the emperor?"

"how to say……"

Li Chengqian thought about it and smiled, "Not bad."

Especially during the military parade just now, the scene of thousands of people cheering made Li Chengqian feel very good.

It seemed that as long as he gave the order, he could capture cities and territories and be unmatched.

"At least I can do what I want to do in the future."

Li Chengqian turned his head and looked over. "The curved plows will be sent to all states and prefectures. With my amnesty, a lot of arable land will be added."

"Although our Tang Dynasty is not as wealthy as the previous dynasty, I believe that with our joint efforts, we can make the Tang Dynasty unprecedented and unrivaled."

Su Chen smiled and handed over the wine glass, "Where do you plan to start next?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, "I haven't thought about this yet."

This was not just something Li Chengqian said casually, but the world he was going to face next required his continuous exploration.

"Silla, Baekje, the Arabs, and Persia all want to buy muskets from us."

"This is normal."

The musket is so powerful that naturally many people want it.

but.

Su Chen smiled and said, "If they want to buy it, they naturally have to show enough sincerity."

Li Chengqian nodded, "I plan to meet with A Luohan from Persia first to see what they have prepared."

"If Persia is sincere enough, then the price from the Arab Empire can be negotiated."

"correct."

Li Chengqian suddenly laughed, "Did you see the Prime Minister today?"

"Lu Dongzan?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

Li Chengqian grinned and said, "This guy wanted you to go to Tubo to be an official."

Su Chen shook his head and laughed.

When Lu Dongzan's marriage proposal failed and he had to leave in embarrassment, he did send him an invitation letter.

However, Su Chen really didn't have much interest in places like Tubo.

"What's wrong? Do you want to attack Tubo?"

"of course."

Facing Su Chen's question, Li Chengqian smiled calmly, "The Turks have been destroyed, and the countries in the Western Regions have been placed under the rule of our Tang Dynasty. Going west and south, only Tubo is worth mentioning."

"As for Japan, Silla, Baekje and the like, they are just tiny places. We can easily conquer them by training a navy."

Su Chen pondered and smiled, "Why not deal with Japan first?"

"Japanese country?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.

Japan is just a tiny country, and every time it comes to Chang'an, it is as well-behaved as a dog.

Li Chengqian really couldn't understand why Su Chen put Japan first.

Is it because it's small?
"why?"

"Because there are enough silver mines in Japan."

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, "Really?"

The changes in Chang'an City cannot be separated from the support of silver.

If there really are silver mines in Japan, then taking action against Japan must be put on the agenda.

"Can I still lie to you?"

Su Chen said calmly: "Now Datang is in a stage of rapid development, and a lot of money is needed to support the operation of this large machine."

"Building houses, replacing weapons, training new troops, and training the navy..."

“This series costs money.”

"Although we have seized a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses from the Western Regions and the Turks this time, they are nothing compared to these construction projects."

"But within the borders of Japan, there are many silver mines. If these silver mines are mined, they will greatly fill the treasury of the Tang Dynasty."

"Secondly, Japan is very weak. We only need to find a reason to destroy it, and at the same time we can verify our new weapons."

Li Chengqian nodded after thinking for a while, "You are right. Not to mention building new weapons and training the navy, just the renovation of the house alone costs a lot of money every day."

"If we can take over a few silver mines, it will indeed be a good way to fill the void in the national treasury."

"What do you think, Water Master?"

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I can't do this."

Li Chengqian had a look of disbelief. At least for now, he hadn't found anything wrong with Su Chen.

"Why don't I recommend someone to you?"

"Who?"

"Liu Rengui."

"he?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Can Liu Jishi train the navy?"

"It should be no problem."

Liu Rengui was not only an upright person, but also had good insights in military affairs.

In several of his famous battles, he commanded the navy to defeat the opponents, so Su Chen thought of him first.

Li Chengqian pondered and said, "If that's the case, I'll give it a try."

Su Chen smiled and stood up. "It's getting late. I should leave too. Otherwise, people will spread rumors that I, Su the Butcher, am tempting the current emperor again."

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, "When I was the crown prince, you weren't afraid of them saying you bewitched the crown prince. Now that I'm on the throne, why are you worried about these things?"

Su Chen smiled calmly, "Be careful and you can live longer."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

"Farewell."

Su Chen smiled and turned away.

He walked out of the palace leisurely. Sun Qiang and others were already waiting there.

"Son."

"Let's go, go home."
