In the East Palace of Chang'an, Li Chengqian was teaching Xue Li and Wang Ergou some of the military tactics and formations he had learned, and he was also experiencing the feeling of being a role model here.
Just when Li Chengqian said something, Wang Ergou nodded here and listened carefully, but Xue Li drew inferences here, which made Li Chengqian very embarrassed and couldn't help scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.
"It seems that General Li's disciples are indeed knowledgeable. I can't teach you anything here alone."
When Li Chengqian said this to Xue Li, Xue Li was also embarrassed and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"It's my fault that I actually bumped into His Highness like this. His Highness originally had good intentions, and we shouldn't have to embarrass His Highness like this."
Xue Li apologized to Li Chengqian here, and Li Chengqian watched as all the helplessness in his heart finally turned into a sigh.
"I am still not good at learning and art. If I have master's skills, can I still be manipulated by you like this?"
Li Chengqian said this, and took Xue Li and Wang Ergou to wander around the East Palace, thinking about ways to regain the situation.
After these people wandered around, they quickly arrived at the door of the craftsman supervisor, and after arriving here, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel happy.
He happily pointed to a heavily guarded house in the distance and asked Xue Li and Wang Ergou.
"Do you know where this place is?"
After Li Chengqian spoke, Liu Ye, who was staring at the craftsman supervisor in the corner and scolding Xu Yunyan fiercely, quickly appeared like a ghost.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Ye saluted Li Chengqian, and Xue Li and Wang Ergou, who knew Liu Ye, hurriedly hugged Liu Ye with fists.
"Captain Liu."
Liu Ye saw that the two of them might be Aiwujiwu, or that Xu Yunyan and the people related to him also hated him here. He saw that the two of them just held fists coldly and said nothing.
Although the scene was a bit embarrassing for a moment, Li Chengqian ignored it. Just when he was about to speak out and teach Xue Li and Wang Ergou again, letting them know how powerful and wise he is, Liu Ye Someone said next to Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, there are some things that cannot be seen by others. Although this is the person you brought, is there really no problem?"
Liu Ye said this, but Li Chengqian was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he waved to him.
"Don't worry, these are all our own people, how can there be a problem?"
When Liu Ye heard what Li Chengqian said, he couldn't help but feel even more angry.
"Xu Yunyan and I don't have much involvement with you, so you assigned me to look after such a workshop. There is no chance for me to rise to the top. Now that you have been arranged to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, what do you want to do? Take me there Are you forced to die? Since you dare to do this, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu Ye was thinking viciously here, and when he was deserting, Li Chengqian was about to take Xue Li and Wang Ergou to the craftsman's prison when he heard rapid footsteps from behind.
A prince's guard led his soldiers and rushed over quickly. When he came to the crowd to greet them, his helmet also lowered his head to cover his face. After she straightened her helmet, everyone saw that it was Cheng Chumo.
"Cheng Chumo? What's going on with you? Why are you wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier?"
At this moment, Cheng Chumo chuckled, "Didn't we intercept two people with the Crown Prince's badge who wanted to visit the East Palace at the door? This inquiry turned out to be from General Li Ying."
Cheng Chumo didn't say these words here, but Li Chengqian asked him hurriedly.
"What's going on? Why did master send someone here?"
When Li Chengqian asked this question, Cheng Chumo scratched his head.
"This, this, I haven't had time to ask yet."
Li Chengqian was helpless. "Then why are you running here? Why don't you hurry up and bring someone here?"
After Li Chengqian said this, he hurried towards the entrance of the East Palace. Cheng Chumo just stared blankly, but Xue Li stepped forward and gave him a hand.
"General Cheng, let's go there together."
Only then did Cheng Chumo react and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, let's go there now."
When Cheng Chumo followed Xue Li and others, Xue Li didn't say anything, while Wang Ergou looked at him.
"General Cheng, you have changed into a soldier's armor. What's wrong?"
Seeing Xue Li and Wang Ergou looking confused after Wang Ergou asked, Cheng Chumo chuckled.
"Isn't this normal?"
Xue Li looked at him a little confused.
"It's normal. Where has the normal gone?"
Just when a few people were confused, Cheng Chumo said something.
"I'm wearing a general's armor and may be arranged by the Crown Prince to do other things, but now I'm wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier and blending in with the team. His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't recognize me. If I was out or had something to do at that time, , I can be with you."
When Cheng Chumo said this, Xue Li and Wang Ergou couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
But it was important to get down to business first, and quickly rushed to the door to see what was going on.
Li Chengqian led the team to the entrance of the East Palace quickly, and watched as the two Forbidden Army intercepted the two Zhechong Mansion soldiers. When Li Chengqian came over, everyone hurriedly saluted.
The two soldiers also hurriedly knelt down on one knee, raised their hands above their heads, and displayed Xu Yunyan's token high in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at the token, walked three steps at a time, then hurriedly stepped forward to take the token and started asking.
"What's going on? Why are you here with this token? What happened?"
When Li Chengqian asked, the two soldiers looked at him a little nervously, but Li Chengqian looked around and said immediately.
"Just say it, is there anyone in the East Palace who can't let you talk as you please?"
As soon as Li Chengqian promised here, the two people hurriedly saluted again and said to Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, this is what happened..."
Soon, the two of them told Li Chengqian about the situation of the Tang Army in the North, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into tears.
"How could we, the Tang Dynasty, be so sincere and yet end up in such a situation? Master is right. We should go to greet them and not let them rush towards Chang'an City."
After Li Chengqian said this, he hurriedly said to Cheng Chumo who was following closely, "Arrange for the two of them to rest here, and I will immediately attack the palace to see my father."
"Okay, Your Highness, we can leave at any time."
As Cheng Chumo said this, he watched as Cheng Chumo waved his hand and a group of security guards came out from the East Palace, with the guards on their left and right.
Li Chengqian was happy this time: "Chu Mo, you finally took the first step."
"His Royal Highness, you are ridiculously complimentary. I can't always hold you back, can I?"
Then Cheng Chumo happily escorted Li Chengqian towards Li Shimin's office.
Not long after, Li Shimin's office was located.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who rushed in hastily and asked involuntarily.
"What's wrong with Qian'er? Why are you so angry that you don't even pay attention to His Majesty the Crown Prince's dignity?"
Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian half-jokingly, and Li Chengqian looked at him.
"Father, when are you now? How can you still have time to pay attention to the majesty of this prince?"
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin became curious. "What happened to Gan'er? Why are you so anxious?"
When Li Chengqian captured the Tang army in the north alive, the winter was not suitable for marching and fighting. Many soldiers had frostbite on their hands and feet. If they were not treated in time, or if they were allowed to camp and repair on the spot, they would definitely face disability.
After Li Chengqian said these words, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
"My father has been on the battlefield for many years. Don't you still know these things?"
Just after he finished speaking, Li Shimin continued to sigh helplessly, "War is a taboo for military strategists. In order to make a surprise attack, I have no choice."
Li Shimin said this here, and Li Chengqian looked at him after Li Shimin finished speaking.
"Father, that's not what I mean now. It's okay for my father to send out surprise troops to capture Jieli alive to relieve our crisis in the North. It's just..."
Seeing Li Chengqian just sitting here, Li Shimin laughed.
"Gan'er, if you have anything you want to say, just tell your father. Is there any need to show off here?"
After Li Shimin spoke, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.
"Father, I would like to ask my father and I to lead the soldiers to pick up the team escorting Jie Li, so that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who have been fighting in the North for a long time and have made meritorious deeds for the Tang Dynasty no longer have to come all the way. Chang'an, let them camp on the spot to stay warm and survive this winter, but we can't hurt the loyal people who have fought for our Tang Dynasty all their lives just because of this face."
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
"What you said is true, Qian'er! Why didn't my father think of it?"
During this period of time, Li Shimin was not an emperor at all, but Li Chengqian's father. After he said these words, he watched Li Chengqian continue to speak here.
"Then I'll make preparations and go give them a perfect ending."
This does not mean that Li Chengqian and Li Shimin have to give up on them, but it allows them to see that the emperor is paying attention to them, so that they can come to Chang'an City without rushing.
"Without further delay, please leave as soon as possible, father. We will arrive a day earlier and escort Jieli to Chang'an City a day earlier. These soldiers can also rest and recuperate a day early to reduce unnecessary casualties."
"Okay, then I'll set off now."
Just do what Li Shimin said.
King Qin, the general of the Tang Dynasty who had been fighting life and death on the battlefield for several years, once again went into battle, but this time he did not face the enemy, but brought many supplies of food and grass materials from the generals and confidants in the capital, and quickly used them. Leave Chang'an City.
This suddenly made many people muttering here.
"Did something happen in the North? The emperor went out in person and led the army and supplies to support?"
While these people were muttering here, some people with ulterior motives were preparing to stir up trouble in Chang'an.
But what no one expected was that after Li Shimin went out, one after another the Emperor's decrees were issued from Chang'an City to appease people's hearts.
This is something that no one expected. The Supreme Emperor could actually issue a decree again?
After Li Yuan visited Li Shimin before he went out, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"There are so many loyal people in the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor, you must reward them well. If any of them really hurt their hands and feet because of your great achievements and can no longer serve the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield, I will definitely I have nothing to do with you."
Li Chengqian saw that his imperial grandfather and his father almost turned against each other over this matter, and he couldn't help but persuade him here.
"Now that we know it's not too late, we can quickly change the situation. Grandpa Huang doesn't have to worry. If we delay any longer, something may really go wrong."
Under Li Chengqian's coordination and dissuasion, Li Yuan and Li Shimin finally became friendly again. One of them went to meet them first, while the other was here to be wary of people with ulterior motives in Chang'an causing trouble.
