Don't be a prince

The continuous high-intensity training and perfect nutritional supplements made the soldiers led by the pro-leaders all vigorous and vigorous.Although the mobile team of Changtian Monkey looks thin and thin, you can see their strong muscles when they take off their military uniforms.

After getting the official document from the Ministry of War, Yu Tai never closed his mouth.He was a general, and had never been a marshal of the first line, so when the emperor ascended the throne, although he was also a confidant, but he didn't have enough merits, and he didn't even get the title of title.Becoming the prince Shaobao was mainly because the emperor wanted to reassure him.Because even if he has no merits in the future, he can rely on Conglong's merits to make future generations feel better.

Now there is no need, although the crown prince will go to the battlefield personally, the Ministry of War has not stipulated who this team belongs to.The crown prince doesn't need military exploits, so in this war, the result of the crown prince's own victory is destined to be cheap for him.

"They all prepare their battle armor and check it every day. This is the rule. Those who are not fast with their swords should sharpen them quickly. Although we have not yet determined when to start, the preparations before the battle must not be left behind. It is said that raising soldiers Day, for a while. Look at His Royal Highness, I have turned you into pigs, and you can still cut people!"

Suddenly, there was a frenzied roar from the soldiers who led the soldiers: "Yes!"

There is a reason why these soldiers are so energetic.All other armies and government soldiers needed to prepare their own clothes to keep out the cold, but the soldiers led by their crown prince did not need to prepare by themselves. When the official document from the Ministry of War came down, each of them immediately issued two sackcloths.Wearing two pieces of clothing at a time to keep out the cold, when did the big head soldiers enjoy this kind of treatment?

Their respective families have now been moved to the surrounding farms. Those who like to farm should farm, and those who like to breed should farm, not to mention that His Royal Highness really prepared a tiled house made of green bricks for their families.Every time I go home to visit relatives, my family members tell me to fight bravely and not to embarrass His Royal Highness.

Now they finally had the opportunity to repay the prince. When they were sharpening their knives, they wished they could appear on the grassland immediately and cut off the thief's head.

It is strange that although the various armies have begun to assemble and prepare, they have not announced the candidate for the coach.Everyone thought it would be Chai Shao, but the appointment of the chief executive has never been confirmed.

Preparations are preparations, but the emperor has been reluctant to make the decision to send troops.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the civil war between Jieli and Tuli caused serious internal friction among the Eastern Turks, the grassland people are still difficult to deal with for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who are good at fighting on foot.

The emperor's hesitation made the generals of the military anxious, and the memorials for the battle could be piled up three feet high every day.

"Look, this is my general of the Tang Dynasty. No one thinks that the grassland is severely cold, and no one is afraid of the national war. Even the most timid, the words of asking for war are so firm at this time."

Seeing the emperor boasting there, Li Chengqian couldn't help curling his lips.Not to mention the shame of Weishui before, even in this battle of destroying the country, the credit cannot be divided between one or two kings.Zhenguan has just started, and the generals who are so greedy for military exploits are willing to let go of this opportunity!

After bragging about his generals for a while, Li Shimin put all the memorials under the case.Whether or not to send troops depends on the news from the frontline and Baiqisi's spies.This time Datang was going to deal with the Eastern Turks, and if they didn't strike, they would be dead.Only in this way can the roar of the Tang Dynasty be heard on this land, making the surrounding wolves stop their salivation.

"Since you came to the palace today to pay your respects, I will test you. If you were the emperor, who would you appoint to fight?"

Li Chengqian did not expect that the emperor's father would ask himself such a question, who will be appointed to fight?

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian tentatively said: "My son thinks that Wei Gong Li Jing is very suitable."

Li Shimin smiled: "Why?"

"My son once studied the art of war with Duke Wei, so he naturally knows that Duke Wei has profound knowledge and uses soldiers like a god. If the Tang Dynasty really decides to use troops against the Eastern Turks this time, it will definitely kill them with one blow. The shame of Weishui needs to be overcome. Li's head can be calmed down, and the surrounding enemies also need Jieli's head to deter them. Therefore, the person selected must be able to take on this important task. My son has seen all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing is probably the only one who has this ability gone."

Li Shimin nodded, as if he agreed with his statement.

Although Li Jing's military skills are too great, and he has a problem with his position, but at this time, he is the only one who can take on this important task.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the harem to see your mother. Although it is not suitable for you to enter the harem as a prince, I have never taught you, why are you always trembling. This time, you go to the grassland. Although your mother I agree, but I’m still worried. These days, the palace is overturned. Even Zhang Yun failed to escape her assignment. If you go to the grassland, you will have more than 50 palace guards and more than 2000 imperial guards. Plus your two thousand crown prince's personal rate. Hehe, even if you go to the battlefield, there will be no problems."

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and walked directly to the harem without answering the words.

As for the behavior of entering the harem without any rules, other dynasties can do it, but the Tang Dynasty, especially the Zhenguan period, let it go.Anyone who studies history knows the nicknames "Tang Turtle" and "Song Nose".Song Nose has nothing to say, the dynasty who has always called his younger brother to the outside world, it is annoying to say a few more words.And Tang Wugui's sentence refers to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Many people have green hats. Even Li Shimin, the great emperor and concubine of the generation, was put into bed by his son.

With the lessons learned from his younger brother, the car in front of Li Chengqian never dared to speed.

As for going to the battlefield?

Looking at his calloused hands, Li Chengqian still shook his head.

Only a fool goes to the battlefield. At the age of ten, his strength is less than half of the peak of his life.Even if you don't mention your age and don't go to the battlefield, with such a good medical environment in later generations, diseases such as tetanus still claimed the lives of many people, let alone the Tang Dynasty.There is no need for a fatal blow, sometimes a little scratching of the oily skin is enough.Not to mention that the Turkic people like to throw sick cattle and sheep into the water source, which is a sinister idea that hurts both sides.The closer to the grassland, the more dangerous it is.

How nice Shuofang is!Just meet Li Jing and the others at Shuofang.Anyway, when the prince is on the battlefield, these old guys dare not push themselves forward.Otherwise, once there is a mistake, let alone Xieli, the Sirius God was killed and carried back to Chang'an, which would also be a failure for Datang.

Thinking this way, I walked to the Hall of Liangyi without knowing it.

Different from the past, the eunuchs and maids around the Liangyi Hall all seemed timid.

Looking up at the bright sky, Li Chengqian muttered: "Today's weather is really bad."

As soon as the words fell, a maid on duty in front of the door came over and saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, do you want your servants to go in and report to the Empress?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, turned around and left the palace for a dozen steps, before asking her: "What's the matter? When I came here alone, I found that you were all very happy. Why are you all so sad today?" Recommended reading ../ ../

The palace maid sighed: "Of course it's because of you, Your Majesty. Ever since I found out that you were going to go to the grassland, the empress has been in a bad mood. Normally, the empress is extraordinarily tolerant, and she will deal with serious mistakes lightly. But these days, Small mistakes will also be punished heavily. Just the day before yesterday, the servant girl just complained a little louder, woke up the prince, and was beaten five times by the empress, and almost cried."

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and patted her with lingering fear, although the five big boards didn't sound like much, but the punishment in the palace was different from all the punishments.The five big boards are already very heavy.If the number exceeds fifty, it is easy to kill people.

Wiping away her tears, the court lady bowed and thanked the prince for his comfort before turning around and entering the palace to report.

In a few seconds, the eldest grandson came out with the maid.

Holding Li Chengqian's hand, the eldest grandson walked in and said, "Why are you so rigid about etiquette? I'm your queen mother. You don't need to report next time, just come in directly. That's right. I don't know why you want to find Niu Jinda to practice something by yourself. Boxing skills, look at this hand, it doesn't look like the prince's, I feel rough holding it."

Listening to the eldest grandson's rambling words, Li Chengqian only felt a warm current rushing through his heart.

This isn't nagging, it's clearly mother's love.

After entering the hall, they found that there were about thirty young eunuchs kneeling on the ground, and the leader was Zhang Yun, whom he hadn't seen today.

Carrying Li Chengqian and standing in front of these people, Changsun's soft but unquestionable voice rang out: "Look, this is the prince. I can guarantee that as long as the prince comes back in full body, you will all be rewarded. If you die in the prairie, this Palace will make those you are close to worry-free for the rest of their lives. But if the Crown Prince is injured in any way, hmph!"

As expected of a generation of queens, with a soft snort, the eunuchs, including Zhang Yun, put their heads on the ground.

Pulling his eldest grandson back to the chair, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "What are you doing with these unlucky words? Don't worry, the queen mother, the child will not rush to the battlefield stupidly. The most is to help the army manage the logistics. In terms of life, the child will not lose to anyone."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson heaved a sigh of relief and clapped his hands. Immediately, two maids brought clothes.

Looking at the fluffy underwear, Li Chengqian was extremely shocked.

Good guy, it turned out to be cotton!

There was no cotton in the Tang Dynasty, and all the rare things sold in the market were shipped from Gaochang.

Picking up the cotton coat and measuring it on Li Chengqian's body, the eldest grandson smiled: "Fortunately, the estimate for my mother is not bad. I heard from your father that the severe cold of the grassland can easily freeze people to death. With this cotton underwear, Bengong can also feel relieved. The order from the military inspector has already been delivered, and they will be able to make your hundred-steel armor sooner than before. With this body, I can rest assured."

After giving the cotton coat to the maid, Li Chengqian lifted the hem of the coat and knelt down.

The queen's will is not sent out casually, let alone sent directly to the military supervisory department. If there is such a behavior, the officials will dare to impeach the queen for interfering in politics. "Harem meddling in politics" has basically been a taboo of the imperial court since the Empress Dowager Xuan and Empress Lu of the Great Qin Dynasty. Those officials who are like mad dogs will not miss this opportunity to show their sense of existence.

Taking such a big risk is only because she is worried about the child.

Seeing Li Chengqian knelt down, the eldest grandson burst into tears. He knelt down and hugged Li Chengqian, and began to murmur about the emperor.

Of course, it's just lip service.

The reason why the emperor could dispel her worries and agree with Li Chengqian to go to the grassland was just one sentence.

"After returning from this battle, there is no one in the court who has any objections to the prince!"

It was already evening when he came out of Liangyi Hall.

The bodyguards behind him each brought a lot of things.In fact, apart from cotton clothes and trousers, other things are of no great use, such as the toilet covered with thick linen, but the eldest grandson insisted that he take it with him.

After returning to the East Palace and making sure that the old man had fallen asleep, Li Chengqian returned to the study and began to write the list.

Going to the grassland here requires a lot of preparation.The only thing that the Tang military can provide to the army is a thin sackcloth and food and grass.It's hard to imagine how to survive in the grassland with these two things.You need to bring enough salt and spices, and prepare the dried vegetables immediately. Alcohol, as early as Lao Tzu’s time, has been recorded that it can reduce inflammation, but it has not been promoted until now.Already [-] to [-] degrees of liquor is purified again, although it is difficult to reach more than [-] degrees, but it may be effective if used as alcohol.

There are also dried fruits, so I have to bring some...

I really made up my mind to start preparing, only to realize that there are too many things to bring.

I don't know how slow the speed will be if I bring these things when I go north. Before the weather becomes severe, I immediately organized a caravan to start transporting to Shuofang.Although after the Liang division was destroyed, there were still some idiots making trouble at the border, but walking with the army, the safety of the caravan could be guaranteed no matter what.

After I stopped writing, I realized that the sky was already dark and deep. Thinking of exercising tomorrow, I had to put down my pen and go back to bed to sleep.

Letting the army going north escort the caravan by the way, this is a taboo that cannot be tolerated in the military law of the Tang Dynasty.However, when they knew what the prince's caravan was transporting, everyone in the military kept their mouths shut. As soon as some officials wanted to impeach, they were shut up by explicit and covert threats.

There was a plague of locusts last year. Although troops can be dispatched this time, all aspects of restraint are very strict.It can be said that it is a blessing for the soldiers to have the prince, the big benefactor, go north together.

Only Li Chengqian dared to do such a thing blatantly, because he was the prince, even if he helped the soldiers improve, he would not be too taboo.If another general did this kind of thing, even if he had no other intentions, he would probably suffer a lot.

Well, it can only come from above.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Chengqian had to stop his arrangements for the grassland and rush to the academy by the Weishui River.

Because, the busy season of farming has passed, and the college is finally about to start school.

The recruits were distributed to the surrounding areas of Chang'an early in the morning.No one does not understand the importance of reading, but the old peasants are suffering from Shuxiu and the lack of literate teachers around them, so they can only teach their children to plan food in the land with tears in their eyes.

It’s all right now, not to mention Shuxiu, children who enter the academy don’t need to spend a penny. I heard that the prince has set up some kind of fund specially.

The academy must be a good academy, and the prince must also be a good prince.

It's just that whether one's own child can be selected is really worrying.

On the first day of school, Li Chengqian drove to the Weishui River in a carriage without even exercising.However, when the college was still two or three miles away, the carriage could not move forward.Because, it was blocked!

Lifting the curtain of the car, Li Chengqian wanted to cry but could not cry when he saw the crowd of people with his family and his family.

It's over, if he knew that those old gentlemen couldn't handle this kind of thing, he shouldn't be busy with grassland affairs, and help the college formulate the enrollment guidelines first.

So many people rushed over to send their children to school, I guess those old gentlemen didn't expect it.

Li Gang really wanted to cry at this time, he just spread the news of the enrollment, but he didn't expect so many people to report on the day when the school started.Reading, for ordinary families, the temptation is too great!

Yang Du was also very embarrassed. The person in front of him at this time was obviously a short adult, but he ignored his thick beard and insisted that he was a child, so he didn't know how to expose it.

The scene can still be controlled for a while.

Looking at the endless crowd, Chen Sidao immediately began to miss the prince.If the prince was here, he might be able to handle such a scene.With the precedent of a printing machine, Chen Sidao is full of confidence in Li Chengqian.

"Here we come, look over there, the crown prince is here!" Daru Fangzheng pointed excitedly at the center of the crowd.

Several old people looked together, only to see Li Chengqian forcefully pushed through the crowd and walked over on foot in the center of the guards with their knives out of their sheaths.

Looking at the human walls on both sides, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

When counting the population around Chang'an, why didn't we see so many children?Now when I heard that I can enroll in school for free, Quan Te mother ran over.

There are a few people who are even more powerful, what are you doing with the baby who is still breastfeeding?The college is currently positioned as a primary school, not a nursery.

No, the nursery doesn't accept babies either!

Chapter 191 Calling for Help

He walked to the entrance of the academy with a gloomy face. When he first broke through the crowd, there were still more than 200 guards. When he reached the entrance of the academy, there were only Yu Tai and Tie Hammer left.

Walking in front of the old gentleman, Li Chengqian smiled wryly and said, "Master Li, why haven't you dealt with the enrollment brochure properly? Why are there so many people here today?"

With a wry smile, Li Gang handed over an official document to Li Chengqian. When he unfolded the official document, Li Chengqian laughed out loud.

I don't know which talented person this official document came from, it is very similar to the advertisements of later TV sales,

"We have the most erudite Confucianism, the most beautiful teaching environment, and we don't charge any tuition fees. Are you here?"

Just like that, there is no age limit, no place of origin restriction, and no other regulations. It is no wonder that nursing babies and bearded middle-aged people are flocking to it.

Put it away, Li Chengqian cleared his throat, and shouted to the crowd in front of the courtyard: "All of you are blind daters, it's Prince Li Chengqian alone, please be quiet, everyone, I have something to say."

No matter how powerful a person's voice is, the range that can be conveyed is limited.Fortunately, Li Chengqian was "dispersing his troops" along the way, and the accompanying guards stayed in the center of the team.

After shouting this sentence, a soldier not far from Li Chengqian repeated it, and then the second soldier who went further away repeated it.

There is no way, in the age without loudspeakers, if you want to shout to so many people at the same time, you can only use this method.

Li Gang looked at Yang Du and Chen Sidao with a smile, and the two old men turned their heads away, leaving him with a cold snort.

No need to say anything, the two old gentlemen can tell with their heels how smart Li Gang's apprentice is now who wants to brag about them.

After he could no longer hear the repeated voice, Li Chengqian continued with the next sentence:

"The college has just been established, and the number of students it can accommodate is limited."

"No matter how rich Gu is, if so many students enter at the same time, he will go bankrupt."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into laughter.

Among the common people near Chang'an, who doesn't know the prince who tried his best to rescue the disaster during the disaster?Such a nobleman speaks so peacefully. Although the words are not so ridiculous, they are very happy.

"So, Gu is here today to set a standard for the children entering school."

"All children under the age of seven can go home. Don't be discouraged, the college will not just recruit a group of students, and you will still have a chance in the future."

"Those who are above, or who have already married, can leave. The college needs students to maintain a pure heart, but you don't have to be discouraged either. Come back in two days, the college is about to build a lot of workshops and needs a lot of recruiting."

Following Li Chengqian's instructions, many people in the crowd left spontaneously with their children.Regardless of whether they were rejected at a younger age or at an older age, even though they left, the smile on their faces did not diminish.

After these two selections, there are very few children left.

Instruct Yu Tai to form a team, and it will be much more convenient to count after forming a team.No more, no less, exactly 880 seven.

The academy plans to enroll [-] students this term, including [-] places for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.Now, directly broke the thousand.

Looking at the smiling children in the whole team and the parents who couldn't keep their mouths shut, Li Chengqian really had no better way to reduce the number of personnel.

Yao Silian was also in the ranks of watching the ceremony today. Seeing Li Chengqian's expression of embarrassment, he walked to the front and put his hand on Li Chengqian's shoulder: "Okay, okay, let's spread it out. We are only teaching ten students by one person. It's not a big deal." .More than 1000 is more than 1000!"

Li Chengqian looked at the reactions of the other great Confucian scholars, and saw that none of them showed embarrassment, so he nodded.
