Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Tang Jian sighed and couldn't say anything for a while.

Regardless of his prestige in the army or his rank and status, how could he Tang Jian compare with Li Jing, the military god, and Li Qiu, the king of Peking?

So when he got this job, it meant that Tang Jian was doomed to be unlucky.

On the other side, after sending away Li Jing and Li Qiu's army.

Empress Changsun went to Furong Garden to visit and appease the two children Luo Kexin and Wu Sui.

Li Shimin went to Da'an Palace.

Just because I heard that Li Qiu was back, he led the Youzhou Xuanjia Army to kill Tuli Khan, severely injured the Turks, and broke the siege of Chang'an and Datang.

The Supreme Emperor was delighted, and he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, so he ordered the officials at the gate of Da'an Palace to send a message to let Li Qiu meet.

However, because Li Qiu was too busy, he was about to go to war on one side, and he had to be separated from his pregnant wife on the other side.

Li Shimin felt sorry for his son, and couldn't bear Li Qiu's too much work, so he kept the matter a secret.

Now that Li Qiu has left, he also has to tell the Supreme Emperor and give the Supreme Emperor an explanation.

Seeing Li Shimin coming to visit Da'an Palace, Li Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"What are you here for?"

"Where's Li Qiu, why didn't he come?"

"Two days ago, I sent someone to find Li Qiu."

"He hasn't come to see me now."

"I'm afraid you also dislike me, a useless old man?!" At this time, Li Shimin sighed softly, and said slowly.

"Father, you know that Li Qiu has always had a pure heart, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness."

"His filial piety to your old man will never be faked, and there is no need to fake it."

"It's Zhen, who suppressed the news that you wanted to see Father, Li Qiu himself didn't know about it."

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but see a wave of anger rising in his eyes.

Now, in the entire Tang Dynasty, the people Li Yuan wanted to see were the warriors Xun and Li Qiu.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would actually be a hindrance.

"Hmph, when it comes to filial piety, Li Qiu is much better than ordinary people!"

"Even if he didn't receive my message, doesn't it mean that he didn't want to visit me and talk to me when he returned to Chang'an City?!"

At this time, Li Shimin slowly explained: "Father doesn't know something."

"After the great battle that day, Li Qiu was busy with the rest of the army and the emergency preparations for another dispatch of troops to the Turks."

"Besides, this time his pregnant wife Luo Kexin also traveled thousands of miles from Youzhou back to Chang'an."

"The situation is not very good. They are surrounded by imperial doctors, Sun Simiao and others all day long."

"Li Qiu still has to think about his wife and children at home."

"But how old is Li Qiu?"

"While undertaking military affairs, I also have to worry about my family."

"Just now, Li Qiu has led an army, sent troops to the Turks along with Li Jing, and left Chang'an."

As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, the anger on the face of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had already dissipated, followed by a deep wave of pity and concern.

"Li Qiu's wife is pregnant?"

"Then why don't you raise your baby well in Youzhou, and why do you travel thousands of miles back to Chang'an from Youzhou?"

"And you too!"

"Could it be that there is no one in my Tang army? Li Qiu's first child has not yet been born, so he hasn't seen it yet."

"If there is something wrong with him, will your conscience be fine?"

"Are you worthy of those family members of Li Qiu? His late parents?!"

"I think back then, when your two first children were about to be born, how did I treat you?"

"I deliberately left you at home so that you can take care of the children."

"But the two of you are lucky, but you still failed to protect him in the end!"

"As a man, if he can't even take care of his own son or grandson, he can't protect him, in my opinion, hum!"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin's heart was churning and turbulent like an overwhelming river.

Chapter 416 Li Chengqian's Talk Back

At the same time, a great regret rushed into my mind.

At this moment, he can't wait to make an order immediately to call Li Qiu back urgently.

After a long while, he shook his head, sighed and said, "Before Li Qiu went out this time, facing the 10,000+ Turkic army, his life and death were uncertain."

"That girl from the Luo family is also a resolute person."

"Because I was worried, I brought [-] infantry and came from Youzhou to Chang'an for support."

"As for this expedition, 4 of the [-] people are Li Qiu's Youzhou Xuanjia Army."

"Firstly, he is trying to fight; secondly, he is also worried about the strength of the army."

"I really can't live without him!"

Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was furious, "Those state officials in the Tang Dynasty, and so many ministers in the court, what do they do for food?"

"Refugees can't solve it."

"You can't even fight a war."

"Everything has to be solved by Li Qiu's Youzhou Thirteen Prefectures!"

"I am a majestic Tang Dynasty, why am I here?!"

Facing the dissatisfaction and blame of the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin sighed deeply in his heart.

Even on the way back to the palace after leaving Da'an Palace, Li Shimin's heart was full of rare twists and turns.

Some are absent-minded and out of mind.

The words of the Supreme Emperor today inadvertently touched the softest nerve in Li Shimin's heart.

Yes, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless.

Even if Li Qiu is someone else's child, he has already paid so much for this Great Tang at a young age.

He needs to be well cared for and cared for.

What's more, Li Qiu is still his biological son who has always been in debt? !

How come all my feelings for this world are concentrated on Li Qiu alone? !

After thinking about it, Li Shimin didn't go back to the Chengqing Hall and the Imperial Study Room.

Instead, he went directly to Empress Changsun.

Whenever Li Shimin had something on his mind, he was used to it, and he had to come to Empress Changsun to feel at ease.

Don't think Li Shimin is such a ruthless and unfeeling person just because he launched the Xuanwu Gate Change.

On the contrary, he is a man who loves a lot, especially for these children of his own.

This aspect can be easily seen from Li Shimin's treatment of these princes and princesses and many other things.

For example, the rewards are very heavy, and all these children are left in Chang'an, by my side, and I can't bear to let them suffer, etc.

Of course, like Wu Wang Li Ke should be regarded as a special case of unlucky, self-defeating.

When Li Shimin walked into the Lizheng Hall, the crown prince Li Chengqian rushed back from Luoyang completely beyond his expectation.

It seemed that Li Chengqian had just returned to the palace, and his clothes had not been changed back to the yellow robe.

Kneeling there in front of Empress Changsun, crying.

At this time, upon seeing Li Shimin, he also walked in.

Li Chengqian showed his filial piety as he was used to, and immediately knelt down to Li Shimin.

"Father!"

"My son, this is the way to Luoyang."

"All the time, I am concerned about the safety of my father and mother."

"Every night, I will be awakened by those bloody and cruel nightmares."

"Every day, the sons and ministers have to kneel in front of the gods and Buddhas to pray for the father and the mother."

"It's really God's blessing that my father and mother are in good health, and my Tang Dynasty has survived this disaster."

Seeing her son's filial piety, Empress Changsun came over directly and lovingly helped Li Chengqian up.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was feeling quite guilty and complicated, did not move or respond to Li Chengqian's filial piety in the slightest.

This is unique in the past.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Li Chengqian couldn't help being surprised.

I don't know why my trump card, which is always unfavorable, didn't have the effect it should have this time?

At this moment, Li Shimin stared at him with piercing eyes, and told him very seriously: "Li Chengqian, you are the prince of my Tang Dynasty, the prince of a country."

"Don't tell me you only know how to kneel in front of gods and Buddhas to pray for blessings when the Turkic enemies are overwhelming and our Tang Dynasty and the imperial court are in dire straits?"

"If that prayer is useful, why do Turkic enemies attack every year?"

"Why has my Tang Dynasty been suffering from drought and famine for three consecutive years?!"

"I'll tell you now that your mother and I can be healthy, and that's why the Great Tang was able to survive the catastrophe safely."

"It's not because of some bullshit gods and Buddhas, but because Li Qiu, King of Peking, led [-] Youzhou Xuanjia troops to kill them in time."

"Because the King of Peking killed the Turkic Khan with one sword, and severely damaged the Turkic army!"

"Now, the King of Peking is leading another expedition to attack the Turkic tribes in the grasslands, and eliminate threats for our Tang Dynasty."

"And you, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, are still crying and wiping your tears at your father and mother!"

"Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, you are not young now, maybe you are only one or two years younger than the King of Peking?"

"But look at him, and look at yourself."

"When will you be able to grow up, mature, and truly share my worries, and take up this mountainous Li Tang Jiangshan?"

Li Chengqian's character is essentially a loyal and benevolent type, which is a bit cowardly.

In the past, being reprimanded so severely by Li Shimin, he has already turned into a cat.

But this time, because Li Shimin beat himself with that Peking king Li Qiu many times, and compared himself.

For some reason, Li Chengqian felt extremely uncomfortable.

The scene that had been deeply pressed in my heart before, in the Da'an Palace, where his mother empress lovingly secretly served Li Qiu with vegetables, once again surfaced in front of his eyes.

Ever since, it may be out of jealousy and being carried away by anger.

In the face of Li Shimin's reprimand, he unexpectedly answered back rarely.

"Father, the child will be the eldest son of Father and Queen after birth."

"It is destined to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of a country."

"The child has been following his father and teacher since he was a child, learning this strategy of governing the country."

"What my son has to do is how to make good use of people, make good use of every civil servant and general, plan strategies, and manage the Great Tang Dynasty well."

"But Li Qiu, King of Peking, although Kong Wu is powerful, is nothing more than a merchant with a reputation for military exploits."

"My child really doesn't understand why my father would compare my minister with such a general of the Tang Dynasty."

"And if that's the case, Father, your own martial arts are not as good as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde..."

Before he finished speaking...
