Using one's own money to support the army is a taboo thing for Li Yuan. Although Chen Ying subsidizes the military expenses himself, these military expenses are not daily expenses. They are mainly captured from the war.

A captain of the Xiaowei Mansion exclaimed: "I am willing to be a soldier if I can follow a commander like General Chen who loves soldiers like a son!"

The grateful voices of the soldiers came from Chen Ying's ears, and these voices entered Chen Ying's ears, which made Chen Ying feel quite uncomfortable.The fighting power of the Tang Dynasty army is world-renowned, but it gradually failed. It was because the upper and lower levels were deducted, and the military merit system collapsed. Even the basic honor was gone, so the morale of the Tang army plummeted, and the combat effectiveness also plummeted.

Chen Ying thought about it, he must ask Xu Jingzong to check the accounts of the army carefully. Once the army starts to become corrupt, a country's defense force will start to collapse. Once foreign enemies invade, it will be very fatal. In his eyes, it was all meat.

General Chen Ying, Xu Guan, Zhou Cao Can Jun, Lu Shi Can Jun, Cang Cao Shi and other subordinate officials called them into the small tent in front of Qin Wang's mansion, and yelled at everyone.

Chen Ying scolded for half an hour, and Chen Ying panted and said: "What happened before, this general can let the past go, but in the future, whoever dares to stretch out his hand, this general will chop, stretch his feet and chop his feet!"

All the subordinate officials dare not say a word, dare not breathe!

……

In the bedroom of Prince Qin's residence, Li Shimin sat on the bed with a blank expression, and his eldest grandson Wugou led Li Chengqian with tears in his eyes.

Li Shimin said solemnly: "We can't go out now, but you and Cheng Qian should be able to. You can tell the third brother-in-law directly that you take Cheng Qian to visit the third sister, and he shouldn't make things difficult for you!"

The eldest grandson Wugou choked up and said, "Second brother, has the situation gotten so bad?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Guanyin servant girl, don't force me to lie to you!"

The eldest grandson Wugou murmured, "It's really troublesome to seize the heir."

Li Shimin smiled dismissively and said: "Yes, this is also a battlefield... Either you die, or I live!"

Changsun Jiluo tilted his head, looked at Li Shimin's face, and said with a sad smile: "Seeing that you have not lost your fighting spirit, I have confidence in you."

Li Shimin turned around and stroked Changsun Jiluo's face.

Li Shimin walked into the hall with his grandson Wugou.

All the generals were fully armed and waited in the hall. Seeing Li Shimin coming in, they all stood up with a whoosh.

Li Shimin said: "It's getting dark soon, Princess Qin is going to Qinglin to visit Pingyang, Hou Junji, you go prepare the car."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he went straight out.

Everyone stared at each other in the hall.

Not long after, Li Shimin's carriage was ready, and the eldest grandson Wugou tremblingly boarded the carriage with Li Chengqian in his arms.

The gate of Prince Qin's Mansion opened.

The soldiers of Zuo Wuhou Army guarding outside the gate raised their swords and shields as if they were facing an enemy.

A carriage drove out slowly, and the driver was obviously Hou Junji.

The carriage stopped in front of Liu Rengui.

Changsun Wugou lifted the curtain of the car, looked around, saw Liu Rengui, and waved to him.

Liu Rengui walked to Changsun Wugou's side, bowed and said, "Princess Qin, where are you going?"

Hou Junji sarcastically said: "Princess Qin's phoenix is ​​chasing her, could it be that she has to report to you in advance?"

Liu Rengui said neither overbearing nor humble: "Wang Concubine, please report, the general is in charge of the emperor's order to protect the safety of His Royal Highness Qin Wang and everyone in the palace. It is my duty, and I can't be negligent. Please, Wang Concubine, be considerate of my lowly position!"

The eldest grandson Wugou said softly: "Princess Pingyang's phoenix body is not in good health, I am going to visit her, it is already late, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful if I delay it!"

At this moment, Chen Ying said: "Liu Rengui, you lead 50 people to escort Princess Qin to Qinglin!"

Hou Junji smiled and said: "That's very good, General Chen will bring more people..."

Chen Ying didn't wait for Hou Junji to finish, and interrupted coldly: "General Hou, you don't want to go to Qinglin!"

Hou Junji wanted to argue: "I am the imperial hand..."

Chen Yingdao: "Liu Rengui, can you drive?"

Liu Rengui nodded.

Chen Ying turned around and returned to the tent.

Hou Junji got out of the carriage helplessly, and walked towards Prince Qin's mansion awkwardly.

Li Shimin watched Hou Junji go back, and said in a low voice: "Why, General Chen won't let you go out of the city with the princess?"

Hou Junji nodded and said: "Dai Zhou would rather die than cooperate, I'm afraid the case will not be good for the King!"

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and said angrily: "Old Hou, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhang Liang is my old brother for many years. I know better than you what kind of person he is. Even if he dies, he will not betray His Highness King Qin..."

"There are plenty of torturers in Dali Temple!" Du Yan shook his head and said, "We must not place our hopes on the enemy's stupidity!"

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said, "What do you say!"

Du Yan turned to look at Li Shimin and said, "Currently, the only way is to survive!"

Cheng Zhijie tightly held the horse in his hand, raised his head and said, "Okay, let's fight them and get out of Chang'an City!"

"No!"

"do not want!"

Almost at the same time, two voices spoke one after another.

Li Shimin followed the prestige and saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui saying at the same time: "Your Majesty, you must be careful!"

Li Shimin sighed and said: "The concubine and Chengqian have already left. Based on what I know about the third sister, she will definitely spare no effort to keep my son Chengqian, and have no heirs to worry about!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's aura suddenly changed, and he said murderously: "My fate is up to me, the sky wants to destroy me, I will destroy the sky!"

Du Yan said with a relaxed smile: "If your majesty has this determination, it will be easy. Now I have a chance to survive!"

"Live from death?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said anxiously, "What chance is there to survive from death?"

Du Yan said: "It should be regarded as the king of endless days. Today is the 51st birthday of King Huai'an. The crown prince hosted a banquet in the East Palace. All the princes and princes of the clan attended to celebrate the birthday of King Huai'an!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized.

Then he said with a gloomy face: "Unfortunately, the crown prince will not invite me to the banquet!"

"The crown prince won't invite the king. What if the king of Huai'an invites him?" Du Yan vowed: "The eldest son of the king of Huai'an, Li Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, has a bad relationship with the king of Qi. His disciples are absolutely sure that he can convince the king of Huai'an to invite the king to come." feast!"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Then the king will not be afraid!"
