Chapter 101: Turned Out, Asking for a Monthly Pass)(2/2)
When I looked closely, it was Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo saw Li Chengqian and his steps were speeding up. Obviously, the two knew each other. Cheng Chumo grinned and came to Li Chengqian and was amused: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be there too..."
Li Chengqian was so angry that he raised the stick in his hand and hit Cheng Chumo: "You are too bullying people. How dare you laugh at Gu, and how dare you learn to be so inconvenient to your legs? Today Gu beat you to lame, you are becoming more and more dissatisfied. You dare not take Gu seriously."
After a heavy blow, Cheng Chumo did not dare to fight back and hurriedly dodged, but his legs were inconvenient, so he fell to the ground and shouted: "Your Highness, the conscience of heaven and earth, my legs were also broken..."
Li Chengqian was so angry that he was trembling. When many people heard the news, they separated the two "lame men". Cheng Chumosheng was reluctant to leave. This man with a tiger back and a bear waist was sucking his nose at this moment, and tears flashed in his eyes. Who has been provoking whom? Why are things going wrong recently? Everyone wants to hit me?
Li Chengqian was separated by Chen Zhengtai in a fit of anger, looking angry. Chen Zhengtai explained repeatedly before his expression calmed down.
Then he said to Cheng Chu: "It's no wonder that I am alone. If you want to blame, you blame your father. If your father doesn't discount your legs, how could such a misunderstanding come to the sky?" So he pulled Chen Zhengtai and continued to think about the thing that could fly into the sky.
For more than ten days, Li Chengqian either held the textbook or invited Cheng Chumo and the other two to recover with a stick, and occasionally studied the flying balls that could go to the sky with Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai was very busy and had no time to greet him all day long. Apart from being ground up by him, people were unable to find cowhide and various materials to try to make a hot air balloon, they continued to urge nine disciples to copy books.
The book was copied countless times, and the nine disciples almost memorized the content of the textbook.
But Chen Zhengtai obviously was not willing to let them go, and still encouraged them to continue copying.
On the ninth day of the 10th month, news came from the palace, and Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian were summoned to the palace to meet.
Chen Zhengtai already felt something was wrong. The prince stayed in the East Palace honestly and harassed him all day long. The officials from the East Palace were afraid they would go crazy. This mentor might not be sure to teach him a lesson this time!
When the two entered the palace, they found that Li Shimin was not summoned in Ganlu Hall, but was elected in Xuanzheng Hall, which made Chen Zhengtai breathe a sigh of relief.
Logically speaking, summoning the prince should be privately summoned, so the chance of choosing the emperor's bedroom Ganlu Hall is relatively high, but once in Xuanzheng Hall, it must be about national affairs.
When the two entered the hall, they saw Li Shimin walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. When he saw Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai coming in, he raised his eyes, and then his eyes fell on Generals Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and others.
There were many generals present this time, and others such as Fang Xuanling and others seemed less prominent.
Li Shimin immediately said, "The Turkic people attacked our Xiazhou. The Turkic Khan Jie Li raised 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and was very aggressive. It is tolerant, but who is unbearable? I want to personally conquer Xiazhou and fight against Jie Li. What do you think?"
The Turks have always been a major concern for the Tang Dynasty. Today's Khan Jie Li is even more eyeing the Tang Dynasty. They took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and have now become a force that cannot be ignored.
The Tang Dynasty took Xiazhou and destroyed Liang Shidu, but it was obvious that the Khan Jie Li was not willing to accept it. This time, he took advantage of the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty and wanted to take this opportunity to teach the Tang Dynasty a lesson.
After Li Shimin said that, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, now my Tang Dynasty is in a mess. You should not use weapons easily. What's more, your Majesty's body is worthy of gold, and you should not mobilize many troops easily. The old minister thought that the cold winter was coming. According to the customs of the Turks for many years, this time I brought troops here, perhaps, I would just take this opportunity to rob. If I cannot succeed, I will lead my troops to retreat."
When Li Ji and others heard this, they became angry: "I hope Your Majesty will give me tens of thousands of elite soldiers and I hope to attack the thieves in Xiazhou. Although the Turks are good at fighting, how can they be the opponent of our elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty? If they dare to come, they will teach them to go but not return."
Li Shimin was also excited, but the civil and military sides were somewhat stalemate. Fang Xuanling and others' words made sense. The country is not rich yet, and it is not a safe plan to take risks easily. However, Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing and others believed that since the Turks came to harass the Tang army, once the Tang army was not moved, it would shake the morale of the army. It would be better to go head-on and weigh the weight of the Turkic Jie Li Khan.
Li Shimin frowned, then his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai. He smiled and said, "Zhengtai, do you know why I summoned you here?"
Chen Zhengtai stepped forward: "Students know a little bit."
"It's so good." Li Shimin raised his face: "In your opinion, is it a war or a peace?"
