After the banquet ended, Changsun Chong and Du He said goodbye cheerfully, holding each other's shoulders, smelling of wine.
"Du...Brother Du, from now on, you...you will be my friend, Changsun Chong! Today, I am very...very happy! Brother Du has been promoted, so I would like to congratulate you!"
The two of them had their arms around each other and were almost speechless.
"Where...where...where, it is my blessing to be able to serve beside His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future! Please take care of me, brother Zhangsun!"
"Okay, Brother Du! Let's change it... see you another day!"
"Oh, why do we need to change the date? I can't tell. In two days, I will accompany His Highness to visit the Changsun Mansion. You and I will meet again then!"
Du He replied confidently.
Changsun Chong's expression rose, he patted Du He on the shoulder and gave him an understanding smile.
"Okay! Then I'll be waiting for His Highness and Brother Du!"
"Brother Changsun, let me go first!"
After Du He staggered away, Changsun Chong stood in front of the restaurant with his hands behind his back and looked at Zixiong for a while, his face full of alcohol.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince, who is now in the limelight, would admire his cousin so much.
It’s true that good things never go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The ancients never deceived me.
I'm so embarrassed, I'm so embarrassed.
After being greeted by flattering farewells from his friends who were traveling with him, Changsun Chong was just about to return home in high spirits.
Have fun today!
This Du He, Mo is also a talent!
Changsun Chongxu took two steps and rolled his eyes.
I couldn't help but think carefully, should I tell my father about this?
Now, even he, the young master who is imprisoned in the mansion, knows that the East Palace is the place where countless family dignitaries are eyeing and want to send their children.
Why not go to the East Palace to find a job? Firstly, it would relieve his father's confinement. Secondly, with his relationship with Sun Chong, his official position would not be small.
There is an inside and a face!
It actually makes more sense the more I think about it.
No, you can't tell that damn old man about this!
Since that damn old man came back before the end of the year, he has been locked up in his house to study and practice martial arts like a convulsion. If he dares to go out, he will be punished by Bu Qu, which will definitely be a whip.
This half year has been hard!
If it weren't for the cover of my book boy today, how could I come out and relax for a while.
If you want to get rid of this life, you must find your aunt who is the queen.
His aunt has always loved him, and it would be more reliable to find his aunt than that dead old man when the time comes.
Changsun Chong was determined to find a way to sneak out quietly tomorrow and go straight to the palace to find his aunt.
He didn't want to spend a single day of being under the care of this damn old man!
…
The second day.
Go to court early.
Chengqing Hall once again sat down with Li Shimin and a group of Tang Dynasty giants.
All of them frowned and analyzed the military intelligence and battle reports.
Now, the war ahead is looking good.
Li Jing's army was preparing to march straight into the hinterland of the Turks and pretend to attack Mobei Royal Court, but Jieli's army still had the power and ambition of the year just after the end of the year.
Since the battle of crossing the Yellow River, we have been increasingly defeated.
Now, it has returned to the Turkic border early!
The Tiger-Lang Pass has just been broken, and when the Turkic army's morale is shattered, how can there be any reason not to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?
"Your Majesty, now Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baoxiang on the Ganzhou front line with 30,000 troops have joined forces with each other, forming a cornering force on the left side of Narkha on the Uighur border. Su Guogong's army is also divided into Yunzhou and Shuozhou. The two armies have been eyeing each other for a long time!"
"Our army of the Tang Dynasty can advance directly into the Turkic territory at any time!"
When the conversation changed, Du Ruhui's expression became a little darker.
"However, the problem of food and grass is really a worry for me in the Tang Dynasty! Now, the only key to defeating the Turks lies in the food and grass of the Five Route Army!"
War has always been a time when huge amounts of resources were consumed.
But it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Now, if there is food and grass, she will have it, and if she does not have it, she will not have it.
It’s difficult!
Now it seems that we can defeat the Turks, but if we lose with food and grass, we will be in despair!
Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice: "When will the food and grass in the Jianghuai area arrive?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the food and fodder in the Jianghuai area has been collected, but the amount is not enough. Now... I am afraid it can be enough for the two armies for one month."
Fang Xuanling frowned and replied helplessly.
"First order, let the food collected from the Jianghuai area be sent to Zhang Shigui and Li Ji's army quickly! These three rounds of support for Li Jing's left and right wings must not let the Turks see any clues!"
"Remember, Wu Yunzheng, the governor of Hezhou, must send it within five days. If it is delayed, he will be killed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Li Shimin gave the order, Fang Xuanling, who was next to him, immediately left the palace and hurriedly went to the three provinces. Within half a quarter of an hour, he flew away on horseback.
Nowadays, disasters have occurred frequently this year, but the worry about disaster relief and food adjustments has caused a shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty. The food problem is really a problem that has never made people worry about it in the past few years.
Now the war against Mobei is intensifying. Although preparations have been made before the war, they are about to invade the Turkic hinterland, and the problem of food and grass is consumed much faster than expected.
Absolutely sufficient food and grass must be prepared, otherwise the base will collapse with a single stone when it reaches the front of the mountain.
Li Shimin made a decision immediately, turned around and said to Changsun Wuji.
"Auxiliary machine, go and prepare all the food and grass in Chang'an City's treasury, as much as you can! Send it to the front line immediately! We are not in a hurry, but I am heartbroken. No matter what, I can't let the men of the Tang Dynasty fight on the front line. There are no worries!”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with determination.
This was originally used to provide food and grass relief in the Hexi area. The Hexi Duwei had already reported to the court before the New Year. Hexi suffered a snowstorm and people's livelihood was in ruins.
Now the food that was just about to be sent to Hexi Road had to be sent to the front line first.
Now, if we try to trick several families in Chang'an as we did before the New Year, I'm afraid it will be an empty show and no one will listen.
Right now, we can only prepare all available food for emergencies.
Changsun Wuji lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and immediately said without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, now that the war is urgent and food is withering, I would like to donate food on behalf of the eldest grandson family. In addition, I would like to send a divination letter tomorrow to borrow food from several tribes in Shandong! To help the country's difficulties!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he looked happy and felt greatly relieved.
He knew that this kind of thing was always a thankless task.
Although the Changsun family is the leader of the Guanlong Group family, they still want to have the dignity and pride of several other families.
Now that Changsun Wuji is willing to sacrifice his dignity to borrow food, it can be said that it has helped him a lot, and it has also helped the battle in Mobei!
"Thank you Auxiliary Machine! On behalf of all the men who fought in the Tang Dynasty, I would like to thank Auxiliary Machine for your great righteousness!"
"Don't worry, no matter how much the food borrowed by the auxiliary machine is, it will be counted on me. I will definitely not let you down in the future!"
Li Shimin was excited and patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder with a pleased expression.
He is indeed my good uncle. I think I cheated him out of tens of thousands of dollars before I came here, so I really feel a little bit guilty.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I am blessed by Your Majesty and hold a high position. How can I not do something for our Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji's body was upright, and his eyes were full of devotion to the country. For a moment, he seemed to be completely unfaithful, which was not consistent with his character of a city that was expanding.
Thinking about the past six months, Changsun Wuji was so enlightened and pondered for a long time because of Tang Sufan's words.
If you want to seek blessings for the descendants of the eldest grandson family, you can only get rewards if you give up first.
The best way to preserve the good results of the Changsun family in the future is to continue to bind the Changsun family to the royal family.
Among them, the best way is marriage.
Now after this incident, I proposed to Your Majesty and Empress Chong'er's marriage to the current eldest princess Li Lizhi.
It can be said that it comes naturally!
And as Tang Sufan's position in His Majesty's heart rises, his position as the number one favorite is in jeopardy.
If he doesn't do something, his grandson Wuji will be really stupid.
face?
The so-called person who does not plan for the overall situation is not enough to plan for one round.
Therefore, face is not important at the moment.
After the monarch and his ministers discussed the military situation again for a while, they finally dispersed.
However, a few people remained.
