"How is it?" Tang Ping looked at Xiang Long and asked.
Xiang Long nodded: "This boy's physical fitness is much better than when I was young, and I feel that he respects the prince very much. In addition, he is a native of Oshu Road and has no dealings with any forces in the court. It is true. A very good fit.”
Speaking of this, Xiang Long also sighed: "It's better to be young. I didn't expect that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Only Duke Ping seems to have not changed much."
When the two met, they went to attack the Turks for the first time. At that time, Xiang Long led people to protect Tang Ping. Later, the two fought side by side many times.
Thinking about it now, that was more than ten years ago.
Tang Ping didn't know if it was because of the energy of time and space, but he had hardly changed much. His appearance had hardly changed in more than ten years. What had changed more might be his temperament.
He patted Xiang Long on the shoulder and said: "Okay, if you think he can do it, then train him well before the game and let him use his own strength to win the King of Soldiers, so that when the time comes to take over your position, he will be better persuasive."
"Well!" Xiang Long's transfer orders have been issued. After this competition, he will quit the special forces brigade and go to the Chang'an Military Region as deputy commander.
The orthodox leader is Li Shimin, which can almost be said to be handed over to him to manage the Chang'an Military Region in the future, which can be regarded as a high promotion.
Seeing Xiang Long leave, Tang Ping looked at the sky and sighed.
In the past few years, I have been outside and occasionally heard news of the departure of some old officials from the DPRK.
Even if Li Shan did a physical examination for the important officials in the court and provided some medical treatment, manpower could not compete with time.
Yu Shinan passed away a few years ago, and Du Ruhui has also been seriously ill recently. Li Shan looked at it once and said that there were still a few months left.
The veterans who created the Zhenguan era with Li Shimin began to grow old.
Li Shimin privately asked Tang Ping to choose Xiang Long's successor, which was actually a hint that he might hand over power to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian has done very well in the position of prince over the years.
Especially during the years when I went to Oshu Road, Oshu Road, as the first overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty, was built from scratch, just like a new country.
As the observer of the Oshu Road, Li Chengqian participated in every detail and managed the entire Oshu Road in an orderly manner.
There are now hundreds of freighters lining up at the Aozhou Road port every day to transport iron ore, copper ore, coal ore and other minerals to Datang.
Then there are countless cattle, sheep and horses in Oshu Ranch. According to statistics, more than one-third of Datang's resources now come from Oshu Road.
Li Chengqian's management of Oshu Road was a perfect answer to his position as prince.
In addition, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Wei Shuyu, Li Zhen and others have been serving as deputies in various departments in recent years. It seems that the entire Tang Dynasty is waiting for the younger generation to grow up and then hand over this emerging huge country. on their hands.
"What are you thinking about, cousin? Are you thinking so absorbedly?"
When Tang Ping raised his head, he realized that he was getting whatever he wanted.
Just now, I was thinking about Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, but now they are right in front of me.
"Ah, it's nothing!" Even he couldn't directly ask Li Shimin about this.
He stood up and asked, "Why are my second uncle and Cheng Qian here?"
"Isn't there just ten days before the army-wide competition? My father said that he would give encouragement to the warrior kings from each military region participating in the competition."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "But I think my father is bored in Chang'an City, so he wants to go out for a walk."
"You kid, you'll know what it means to be bored when you sit in my position!" Li Shimin patted him, but Li Chengqian was shocked.
He quickly lowered his head and said: "Father, please don't make such a joke. Father is in good health, and the Tang Dynasty will still..."
"Okay, okay!" Li Shimin interrupted him and said, "Don't be so frightened. There are no outsiders here. You have done quite well in these years."
"Who said I have to die before the Tang Dynasty can be handed over to you? Can't you let your father and mother go out for a walk while they are still able to move?"
"Usually I can only see the big Buddha statues being built in Tianzhu in memorials! The great Arabian desert, and the canals they are about to dig! Oh, by the way, there are also the things you wrote in the letter when you were on the Oshu Road My father hasn’t even gone to see the scene on Oshu Road yet.”
"Oh, and your cousin's world. I've only heard how magical that world is, but my father has never been there even once. When the time comes, my father will also have to go and play in your cousin's world."
"So I plan to pass the throne to you after this military exercise."
Tang Ping didn't expect that Li Shimin really had such a plan, but judging from recent signs, it wasn't that strange. He had thought of it from the beginning, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would tell him and Li Chengqian directly at this time.
Li Chengqian was also stunned. He must have imagined that he would be the emperor.
After all, I have been a prince for so many years, so it is impossible not to fantasize about it.
Every one of us social beasts occasionally fantasizes about becoming the domineering president of the company.
But Li Chengqian in this world really has no idea of rebellion and usurping the throne. Firstly, Li Shimin is too strong, and secondly, his consistent education makes him feel that he does not have the ability to become the emperor of such a huge Tang Empire.
So Li Shimin's words immediately made him stupid.
"This kid!" Li Shimin patted him: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Tang Dynasty is much bigger now than when my father took over, we also have more capable ministers. Just listen to the opinions of the ministers on any matter and then make your own judgment."
"Besides, isn't your cousin still here? When the time comes, my father will go out and take your cousin with him. If you really have something you can't decide on, just go to the convenience store and call your cousin and ask me."
"Father!" Li Chengqian's eyes were a little moist.
"Okay." Li Shimin stood up and said, "Let's get down to business first. We are here to cheer up the various military regions! The Chang'an Military Region is all soldiers led by me!"
Tang Ping nodded and went out first to blow the assembly horn. Soldiers who were training elsewhere quickly rushed over.
Li Shimin was very familiar with them and didn't say much. He just took the microphone handed to him by Tang Ping and said: "You are all soldiers trained by me, Li Shimin. I just want to ask, are you confident in defeating other military regions this time?" ?”
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
