Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty: Please say long live His Majesty

Chapter 12 Father, the second son, is kind and good at Xuanwu Gate! (Save in the library, please vote, recommend, and vote monthly)

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian, with the help of the eunuchs, put on his dragon robe again and stood solemnly.

Li Shimin sat on the imperial couch, looking at the straight-legged Li Chengqian. His eyes finally softened and he said softly, "Chengqian, don't overwork yourself on a daily basis. Your leg injury will heal in the future..."

"Master Sun said that although my leg injury is somewhat serious, I will be able to recover and there is still a way out. I heard that Chao Yuanfang of the Sui Dynasty left behind some methods, but I don't know where his descendants are now. We still need to look for them. I think there is still a way to completely heal him." Li Chengqian looked up seriously and stared at Li Shimin.

Looking at his stubborn son, the emperor's heart softened slightly. He sighed and said, "Well, everything in the East Palace will remain the same. However, until your injury heals..."

"Although this half-body armor of yours may not seem to have any major problems during the grand court, it will inevitably cause problems when you are riding a horse, shooting, sitting or lying down at banquets in the future. I can only ask Qingque to do all these for you." Li Chengqian lowered his head, his face a little bitter.

"That's all." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You're tired too. Go back and rest early."

"Yes!" Li Chengqian bowed and said, "Your son will take his leave."

……

Li Shimin leaned on the imperial couch, watching Li Chengqian slowly walk to the door of Liangyi Hall. He suddenly said, "Chengqian!"

"Your son is here!" Li Chengqian turned around in surprise.

"When you have time, go visit Zhinu and Sizi more often. Since you fell ill, they have wanted to visit you several times, but I stopped them every time. Now that you are better, take them to Beiyuan more often to relax together."

"Your son obeys your order." Li Chengqian bowed with a warm smile on his face.

The emperor waved his hand gently.

"Your son will take his leave." Li Chengqian bowed, then turned and walked out of the Liangyi Hall.

Looking at Li Chengqian's leaving back, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a complicated look in his eyes.

Now, his prince finally felt the threat and began to regain his spirits.

but……

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Chengqian's left leg.

There is no lame prince or lame emperor in the world.

The fool Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of Jin, is still notorious today for his words "Why not eat meat porridge?"

Not to mention, the collapse of the world caused by the Rebellion of the Eight Princes.

Lame, lame.

From the perspective of the whole world, lameness can easily become an excuse for others to be disloyal.

It is difficult to convince the people and make the people of the world submit.

It is easy to cause unrest in the world.

Such a prince is inherently harmful to imperial power.

The emperor's eyes gradually raised up, and became cold and firm.

Cheng Qian, if your foot is completely lame, then don't blame your father...

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh. If Li Chengqian's foot was really lame, then everything would be easier. However, now, according to his own words, his foot still had hope of being cured...

Lets see.

"Someone!" The emperor looked up again. Zhang Ananda, the eunuch at one side, approached cautiously and said with a bow, "Your Majesty!"

"Tell King Wei about the Crown Prince's memorial today about Tubo not allowing the princess to have children." Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Ananda.

Zhang Ananda immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Yes!"

"Also, tell the Ministry of Rites and Guanglu Temple that the princess's dowry when she marries Tubo will be reduced by one level." The emperor clenched his fists tightly.

If the Tibetans become a powerful enemy in the future, then everything will be a different story.

"Send a message to Hou Junji." Li Shimin raised his gaze and looked at the map of the Tang Dynasty's territory to the side. He said softly, "Tell him to send a team of elite scouts to Yangtong. I want to know the details of the friction between Tubo and Yangtong. Also, send a message to Lanzhou Governor Du Fengju and Shanzhou Governor Li Xuanyun to increase the number of Tang Dynasty caravans allowed to trade with Tuyuhun."

Zhang Ananda immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Yes!"

Li Shimin sat on the imperial couch, his expression calm. He looked at the map of the Tang Dynasty's territory and said softly, "Let's destroy Goryeo first. After that, we can move on to Tubo."

……

Li Chengqian, a disciple of Tai Chi, walked calmly into the palace.

The guards on both sides of the palace walls bowed their heads.

Li Chengqian just walked calmly.

"Kaogongzhi" and "Guodizhi".

How can "Kaogongzhi" be compared with "Guodizhi"?

"Guodizhi" is a symbol of the unification of the world, while "Kaogongzhi" is just a tool for the unification of the world.

Comparing the two, the superiority is clear.

Moreover, even if all the craftsmen in the world master their craft to the extreme, they are still just another Lu Ban.

However, the earth and geography represent Hou Tu and Shen Nong. The emperor's partiality is really too obvious.

What's more, this will clearly express his inclination to his ministers.

A smart person can see the emperor's thoughts at a glance.

Looking at Chengtian Gate opposite, Li Chengqian felt calm instead.

His father's preference for Qingque has been going on for a long time.

After all, Qingque is his second legitimate son.

I have said this more than once or twice.

But if Li Tai is really like him, he would probably be the one who would be uneasy day and night.

The Xuanwu Gate was built by him, the second legitimate son.

If Li Tai really forcibly replaced Li Chengqian, wouldn't the emperor be worried that Li Tai would replace him as well as Li Chengqian?
……

With this thought in mind, Li Chengqian continued to move forward in the palace.

The current Li Tai does not pose a threat to Li Chengqian.

After all, Li Chengqian had been the crown prince for fifteen years. The officials in Chang'an might have some doubts about his seclusion during this year and the rumors that he had a broken leg or was lame, but the governors of the 360 ​​states in the world did not get the news so quickly.

Especially after today, Li Chengqian's demonstration of his integrity and his skillful political tactics will greatly help win back the hearts of the people.

Even if his father wanted Li Tai to replace him now, it would not be easy. He still needed time.

At least it had to be after Li Tai completed "Guo Di Zhi" and his reputation spread, and it also had to be after Li Chengqian did something wrong again.

So Li Chengqian still has time.

In the short term, before Li Tai completed "Guo Di Zhi", as long as Li Chengqian did not make any mistakes, he would not be deposed.

However, everything he had was under the control of the emperor. As long as the time came when the emperor needed him, Li Chengqian would be deposed.

Therefore, Li Chengqian needed to take action against Li Tai before the emperor decided to take action against him.

Let Li Tai come to Xuanwu Gate!

hum!

It's just a matter of timing.

Li Chengqian suppressed the sneer in his heart and his expression became serious again. Li Tai had never been his opponent. His only opponent was his father.

However, in Chang'an, no matter what Li Chengqian did, it was difficult for him to escape the emperor's control.

Even if Li Chengqian dealt with Li Tai today, there were still Li Zhi, Li Ke and others.

If he wants to control his own destiny, military power is the foundation.

But in Chang'an, whoever touches military power will die.

So, a suitable time is needed.

Goguryeo, these three words suddenly popped up in Li Chengqian's mind.

His father fought wars all over the country and was called the Khan until today. There are not many things that really make him unhappy.

The Xuanwu Gate incident has always been a shadow in his mind, so over the years, he has tried to surpass his father in everything he does.

And now that he has achieved this, he is aiming for bigger goals.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo.

Surpassed Yang Guang and destroyed Goguryeo.

"Kaogongzhi" and "Guodizhi" were both preparations for this matter.

Yang Guang personally led an expedition against Goguryeo, so his father also personally led an expedition against Goguryeo later.

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was in charge of transporting grain in the rear, had an opportunity.

At this time, he had the most legitimate opportunity to touch military power.

……

Ahead, Chengtian Gate is right in front of us.

Li Anyan stood under the bright yellow sedan chair, waiting for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled lightly.

The morning light shines down from the east and spreads outside Chengtian Gate.

Like a long golden staircase.
