"It is now announced that the final winner of this military region exercise is-Yizhou Military Region!"
After half a month of exercises and tests, the Yizhou Military Region, which no one expected, finally won.
Li Ji patted Li Zhen on the shoulder: "Go ahead, His Majesty is about to hand out a prize. You go and receive it."
The commander of the Yizhou Military Region is Li Ji, but this time he basically handed over the command to his son Li Zhen.
Even when Li Zhen and Li Jing competed for first place in the end, he watched directly from the viewing camp.
Li Jing may be a little a little lethargic, but Li Zhen is also really good.
Others joked that the reason why he used his troops so elusively was because he couldn't tell the direction.
Li Zhen nodded excitedly, walked out of the phalanx of the Yizhou Military Region and ran towards the rostrum in front.
"Over there, it's the other way around!" Tang Ping shouted with a smile when he saw Li Zhen running past him.
The rostrum was right in front, but there were no stairs to go up to where Li Zhen was running.
Li Zhen looked at it in confusion, then turned around and ran again as Tang Ping said, causing the whole army to burst into laughter.
"Li Zhen, you did a good job!" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen, who had grown into a strong man in front of him, and said with a smile: "But why don't you know the way?"
Li Zhen scratched his head and said, "I don't know either! If you say turn left, I will turn left, but it always seems wrong!"
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "You have to remember that no matter whether you go out or lead troops, you must find someone who knows the way to follow you."
"There is such a person!" Li Zhen stuttered.
"Oh? Who is it?" Li Shimin asked: "You look like a woman? Do you want me to help you find a matchmaker?"
Li Zhen blushed and stuttered for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
"Father, I want to marry him!" At this time, a charming voice came from among the princes and princesses watching the ceremony.
Li Shimin turned around and saw his youngest daughter, Princess Xincheng, walking out.
"Xincheng, you!" Li Shimin looked at Princess Xincheng with wide eyes.
The soldiers below did not expect that at the award ceremony for the first place in the military region exercise today, there would be such a big melon to eat, and they all looked at it with gusto.
Cheng Zhijie even smiled beside Li Ji and said, "Hey, Mr. Mao, your son can steal our Majesty's heart."
Looking at Li Zhen's appearance above, no one could tell that he and Princess Xincheng had already looked at each other.
Li Ji himself didn't know when this stupid son got close to the princess, so he could only smile bitterly.
Princess Xincheng ran to Li Shimin and said, "Father, I like Li Zhen and I want to marry him."
"I...I also want to marry the princess of Xincheng." Just as Li Zhen was about to raise his voice, he saw Li Shimin's gaze glance over and turned into a mosquito snort again.
Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "Li Zhen, do you know that if you become the consort, you will not be able to take charge of the military? Today you can lead the Yizhou Military Region to win the championship, but your future is bright. In the future, you will probably be at least the Minister of the Ministry of War. Don't regret it." ?”
"I don't regret it." Li Zhen did not hesitate, shook his head and said: "We in the Tang Dynasty are full of talents, in fact, there is not one missing me. I... I like Princess Xincheng, and I wish your Majesty to grant her permission!"
After Li Shimin looked at him for a while, he laughed loudly: "Okay, okay!"
Then he spoke loudly with the microphone below: "Today, while the first place prize in the first military region exercise is given to Li Zhen, I also want to announce a happy event, that is, I have promised the princess of Xincheng to Li Zhen. ."
"good!"
"Major General Li is mighty!"
The people below all shouted, there were many big soldiers here, they just felt that since Li Zhen could get the first place, it must be because he was good at leading troops.
It is only natural that such a young general can marry a princess.
Only Li Ji had a bitter smile on his face. After marrying the princess, his status would naturally be higher.
If Li Zhen had no future, marrying a princess would really be the best thing for him.
But Li Ji saw that his son had the talent to lead troops, so it might not be a pity for him to become the consort.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought this, Li Shimin said: "At the same time, I want to announce that any career after the Tang Dynasty will only depend on ability, not status! If the consort is talented, he can also lead troops to fight!"
As soon as these words were said, the ministers below were stunned, and then they all clapped and cheered.
Because many families will marry into the royal family for various reasons.
But the Prince Consort basically only has a false title and no actual duties.
Now that Li Shimin has said these words, he will be the consort in the future, and it is possible that he will rise to prominence in the officialdom.
However, the news that shocked everyone was not over yet. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he called Li Chengqian up again and said loudly:
"At the same time, I have one more thing to announce today, that is, the throne of the Tang Dynasty will be passed on to Prince Li Chengqian starting from tomorrow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy scene suddenly became as quiet as a library.
Then Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"I know what you are going to say!" Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Xuancheng, do you think the prince is still qualified these years?"
Wei Zheng didn't expect that Li Shimin would call him by his cousin, so he thought about it and said, "The prince is benevolent, virtuous, and capable. He is a qualified prince."
"In that case, what are you worried about?" Li Shimin looked down and said, "Didn't our military god of the Tang Dynasty lose to this kid Li Zhen by a narrow margin today?"
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. We always have to give young people more opportunities! The prince has been ready to succeed the Tang Dynasty in recent years, so I think I can hand over the Tang Dynasty to his hands. I think Xuan You will definitely assist the prince just like you assisted me, right?"
"I obey the decree!" Wei Zheng bowed his hand and stepped back.
Although he had told Li Chengqian a long time ago, Li Chengqian still seemed a little at a loss at this time.
"Chengqian, I will leave the Tang Dynasty to you." Li Shimin took the jade seal and placed it in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at the jade seal, then at the ministers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in various military regions below, and finally firmly reached out and took the heavy jade seal on that side.
"My son will definitely not disappoint his father!"
Li Shimin smiled and patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder, then looked at the ministers and said: "Actually, I have made this decision a long time ago, and I have made an agreement with the Duke Tang Ping. After abdicating the throne, I plan to go around with him. Are any of the old brothers willing to go with us?"
Cheng Zhijie was the first to walk out and said, "I'm going to go. I've been here in Chang'an for a long time, and it's really less interesting."
"I wish to go!"
"I am also willing to go!"
The veterans who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world came out one by one.
First of all, they are really old and unable to do what they want.
Secondly, they also knew that when the new emperor came to power, it would be best for them, as veterans, to give up their position appropriately. If they were not too greedy for that position, then it would be best to step down and let their nephew take over at this time.
"Actually, this is the end of the book. There are still a few chapters to come, which can be considered as extra chapters. It was the first time I wrote such a long book. In the middle, I actually felt a little unsure and fell apart.
If there are still friends who can see this, I want to say thank you, thank you for supporting me until now.
The new book is already being prepared. It is still a story about two worlds, but I think I will write it better. Thank you everyone! "
