Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 290 Li Ke in action, Tianzhu target
Military parade!

These four words lingered in Di Renjie and Yu Zhining's minds.

They were shocked and looked at the prince in disbelief.

Yes.

The prince is right. In the eyes of His Majesty, no matter how extravagant and grand the ceremony is, it cannot compare to a military parade to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of His Majesty's birth.

This is absolutely in line with your majesty's thoughts.

The prince understands your majesty to this extent.

He understands Your Majesty too well.

"I am ashamed that I have followed Your Majesty for so many years, but I still don't understand Your Majesty..."

Yu Zhining was really upset.

He is an old man in Tian Ce Mansion, but after following His Majesty for so long, he has now forgotten that His Majesty was the general of Tian Ce back then.

Li Chengqian did not say what he meant. He said, "The Anxi Protectorate, Tubo, Northeast China and other places should select elite men and form their own parade teams."

"Those who have been awarded titles for military merit in the court will be selected to form the parade formation..."

"There are also students and scholars who can be selected and screened to form a square formation."

"The standing army is the main force, and the government troops can also be formed..."

Yu Zhining wrote down everything the prince said.

"I have drafted the rules for the military parade and will give them to you."

Li Chengqian said: "Your Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be responsible for the specific arrangements. When the time comes, the Ministry of War will cooperate unconditionally."

"I understand!"

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes!"

After Yu Zhining left, Di Renjie looked at Li Chengqian as if he were a god.

"How did your Highness come up with that?"

"Military Parade."

Di Renjie said excitedly: "If your majesty knew, he would definitely be delighted."

"How do you think I came up with that?"

Li Chengqian said calmly.

Forehead!
Di Renjie paused. That’s right. His Highness is the Crown Prince and the eldest son of His Majesty. How could he not know that?
Shortly after.

The charter drafted by Li Chengqian was handed over to Yu Zhining.

Yu Zhining and the Ministry of Internal Affairs made almost no changes. After sending it to the three ministries for review and signature, it was immediately sent to the emperor.

"Military parade?"

Li Shimin's pupils shrank subconsciously and he sat up straight.

Yu Zhining was deeply moved when he saw this. He thought that the prince really was the apple of His Majesty's eye.

Li Shimin flipped through the pages quickly, and the more he read, the more he smiled.

His hands holding the memorial were shaking a little.

I can hardly control my joy.

"Good, good, good!"

Li Shimin applauded repeatedly. He raised his head, his eyes were like a god, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Yu Zhining, just follow the rules drawn up by the prince."

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked together to assist."

"Somebody come!"

Before Yu Zhining could respond, he saw that His Majesty did not want to delay for a moment, and said, "Send an order to summon officials from the three provinces and six ministries to discuss the matter."

"Especially the Prince of Hejian, he must come, without any excuses."

The minister received the order and went down to convey the imperial decree quickly.

Li Shimin looked at the memorial again and again and said, "Yu Zhining, this military parade is not only for our Tang Dynasty."

"I also want the rulers of those foreign nations to personally bring their troops to me for inspection!"

"All foreign vassal states of the Tang Dynasty must come here."

“And those who had business with them sent messengers to them, asking them to come.”

Yu Zhining didn't expect that a military parade would cause His Majesty to mobilize such a large number of troops.

He had no reason to refute.

The bigger the show, the more grand the scene.

There are only advantages and no disadvantages to him.

"I obey your Majesty's will!"

Ministers from the three provinces and six ministries rushed to the Liangyi Hall.

After the emperor sat down, Li Shimin held up the memorial and said, "The Crown Prince has drawn up a plan to hold a grand military parade for my fiftieth birthday."

"What do you think of this move?"

I have read the three-province ministers, but I don’t know about the other five.

Yu Zhining immediately took on the role of narrator.

Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you want me to have no excuses. So this is why."

"Nothing to say."

“I fully support it.”

"I will let this old man Li Jing, as well as Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie and other old guys, put on armor and train to accept the inspection of His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him and said, "How could you have thought of such a thing?"

"When the pharmacist hears how you torture him, he will probably end up lying down at your house."

Li Xiaogong raised his head and laughed, "Here he is, just in time to work with me, so I don't have to go look for him."

Everyone laughed, and Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Then it's decided."

Li Shimin said: "Prince of Hejian, your Ministry of War must take responsibility."

Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will go wrong."

"However, I feel that the military parade is a bit of self-entertainment for us Tang soldiers."

"How about calling those foreign vassal states as well?"

Li Shimin twisted his beard and said, "I just told the Minister of Rites about this. They must come, and their king must lead the troops to personally inspect them for me!"

Ok?
Everyone looked surprised.

Your Majesty, this idea is truly domineering.

"I'm afraid some people are unwilling..." Fang Xuanling said. Li Xiaogong sneered, "Unwilling?"

"If they don't want to come, then I, the Tang Dynasty, will go there."

The Tang Dynasty has been too stable in the past two years.

Since the destruction of Goguryeo, the Northeast Peninsula has been taken over.

The Tang army was in a state of constant readiness and had no war to fight.

Li Xiaogong was hoping that at this time, some neighboring foreign countries would be disobedient. It was heard that there were many countries in Anxi, and if a few rebellious ones jumped out, the Tang Dynasty would only have to launch an expedition and destroy the country in one fell swoop.

No one had much to say, what Li Xiaogong said was not wrong.

Don't listen to the Tang Dynasty? Then wait for the heavenly soldiers and generals.

……

Li Shimin approved the regulations drawn up by the Eastern Palace and officially began intensive preparations for next year's military parade.

Li Chengqian proposed the rules and regulations, and the specific details were handed over to the Ministry of Rites for implementation.

Of course, he will also add some content anytime and anywhere.

Under the management of the Ministry of Rites, all other ministries cooperated and treated it as a top priority.

The imperial court sent letters to all places, especially those with titles. After receiving the letters, they packed their bags and headed for Chang'an without any delay.

Tibet.

Li Ke stood on a high mountain, looking down at the endless mountains and land in front of him.

His cheeks had the characteristic high altitude red, and his skin was dry from the wind and sun.

Li Ke was different from Li You. Li You mostly hid in the palace, but Li Ke ran around everywhere. After only a few years in Tubo, his face became even rougher and older than Li You's.

There is no trace of the image of a noble young man he had in Chang'an.

"The road to Tianzhu has been opened."

Li Ke said: "Now the question is how to take over Tianzhu and gain a firm foothold in Tianzhu."

"Wang Xuance, you visited Tianzhu many times last year. You should be familiar with the local culture, right?"

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "It's hard for me to say anything about Tianzhu."

"He gives me the same feeling as Tubo before."

"But they seem to be more serious, especially the culture of Buddhism, which is too deeply rooted."

“Almost everyone is a Buddhist.”

"They were not tied up and restricted like the Tibetan slaves, but were more obedient. They believed that being whipped by the nobles was a punishment for their sins in their previous lives. They could redeem themselves in this life, and in the next life they would be free of sin and become superior people..."

Wang Xuance shook his head as he spoke, and said with a hint of mockery and irony: "You will suffer in this life and be free in the next life."

Li Ke and Hou Junji both looked incredulous.

Wang Xuance had been in Tianzhu all this time, so Li Ke was not clear about some things, which was why he asked.

But the answer he got completely overturned his cognition.

"Is there such a nation of people in this world?"

Li Ke felt that either he was crazy or the people of India were crazy.

"Are you seeing only one side of the story?" Hou Junji didn't believe it.

Wang Xuance said, "I hope so, but this place is really weird. They have clear high and low levels, and the low-class bastards..."

He gave a general account of the situation in India.

Directly silenced Li Ke, Hou Junji and others.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that be a good thing for us?"

Someone put it this way: "In their eyes, we should be high-ranking nobles, and they should obey us."

"Isn't this beneficial to the rule of our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Ke suddenly realized that his brother the Crown Prince wanted to make him the king of Tianzhu.

If he were the king of India, a place that goes against common sense.

Don't think about whether you can govern well or not, but think about how to use them, consolidate your own rule, and then give back to the local area.

"If we defeat their nobles, we will be higher-level people than the nobles in their eyes."

Hou Junji had witnessed the relationship between Tibetan slaves and nobles.

It made the King of Qi say that he was too merciful compared to them.

It shows how dark and brutal it is.

Now that we have found this Tianzhu, it is even more outrageous.

This is not easy to deal with.

Li Ke was thinking about what his brother the crown prince had told him. Just then, a man ran up the mountain and came close to Li Ke, gasping for breath, and said, "I'm sending a letter to Chang'an."

Li Ke took it, glanced at it quickly, handed it to Hou Junji, and said, "Hold a military parade for your Majesty's fiftieth birthday."

"Our Tibetan garrison also needs to select soldiers to return."

Hou Junji looked very excited and handed it to Wang Xuance again.

"However, I feel that a mere parade of the garrison is not enough."

Li Ke said: "I will take over Tianzhu and have the king of Tianzhu go to the Tang Dynasty to be inspected by the Holy Emperor."

"What do you think?"

Wang Xuance looked up and asked, "Your Highness, is there enough time?"

"The military parade will be held on January 23 next year."

"At most, we have to destroy the Indian Empire and control an area within three months. If we want to launch a deeper attack, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"So, Tianzhu is our current limit. If we rush back to Chang'an, we won't have much time left."

Li Ke nodded and said, "But everything depends on human efforts."

"Duke Chen, it's up to you."

"How far you can go will determine how I present my memorial to the king at the military parade."

"The more you want to show off in the world, the more effort you have to put in."

Hou Junji's face flushed as he presented a report at the military parade.

It is definitely time for the long face to take the spotlight.

He knew that the Tang Dynasty had not fought a war for more than two years.

If they were in Tubo and brought out their achievements in destroying a country, you can imagine what a sensation it would cause.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will..."

Hou Junji looked at the Indian land in the distance with a fierce look and a strong desire to fight.
