His aunt is his only living elder. Although Luo Yi has a way to die for his rebellion, how can he watch his family die? He knows that he cannot save Luo Yi and his son, but he still has to try to save a family of women and children.

Qin Qiong gave Li Shimin a secret and asked Li Shimin to give him a favor because he had served her for many years and had considerable military exploits. She was willing to exchange her title and official position for the survival of the Luo family, but the emperor refused to do so.

Qin Qiong was restless every day.

After receiving the emperor's decree to confer the title of Prince Young Master and release Luo Yi, Qin Qiong finally felt relieved and hurriedly went to pick up the Luo family's women and children and settle them down.

At the same time, he reminded them, father and son, to defend the country loyally and not to make another mistake. This time, His Majesty spared you for the sake of the prince. Although the prince is young, he does not cherish old sins and should keep this kindness in his heart.

To be honest, Luo Yi was also instigated by someone, that is, the witch Li Shi. After the uprising, the bitch ran away, so he could only go on with it.

Chang'an, Chongdefang, Yiguogongfu,

Li Chengqian stood outside the gate of the Qin Mansion and was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. In the first year of Zhenguan, Qin Qiong paid homage to General Zuo Wuwei and was granted the title of Duke of Yi Kingdom, with 700 households living in the city.

Later, Qin Qiong often fell ill. Whenever he was ill, he would tell people: "I have been through more than 200 battles in my life as a soldier. I have been seriously injured many times. I have shed several bushels of blood before and after. How can I not get sick?"

"

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Qin Qiong died of illness and was posthumously awarded the title of Governor of Xuzhou and was buried in the Zhaoling Mausoleum. Li Shimin specially ordered that stone men and horses be built in front of Qin Qiong's tomb to highlight Qin Qiong's military exploits.

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered Yan Liben to paint the portraits of twenty-four heroes and hang them in Lingyan Pavilion. Qin Qiong was also among them.

It can be said that Qin Qiong had withdrawn from the court at the beginning of Zhenguan, and there are different opinions on the reasons. Some people said that Qin Qiong was unable to work hard during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so it can be seen from the food court that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with him.

Some people also say that Qin Qiong is a member of Li Yuan, because Li Yuan granted him the Shangzhu Kingdom. But in Li Chengqian's opinion, Qin Qiong is not the kind of person who is politically simple-minded and cannot easily navigate the whirlpool of the court.

You will understand when you look at Cheng Zhijie. Regardless of their origins, experience, and achievements, the two are basically the same. The only difference is that Cheng Zhijie is more agile than him, which can be seen from the fact that he married the daughter of the Cui family.

Conflict in the court was the fundamental reason why Qin Qiong withdrew from the court, and the illness he mentioned was just an excuse. Li Chengqian admired Qin Qiong in his previous life, and couldn't bear to see such a hero die on his bed. So he took advantage of Luo Yi's incident to

He was tied to the chariot in the East Palace, which not only helped him, but also helped himself.

And the reason why Li Chengqian succeeded was because of the emperor. Could Li Shimin not know Qin Qiong's temper? He knew it, but he couldn't give his beloved a proper chance due to various reasons. Li Chengqian and Luo Yi became the best.

The reason is just that the people involved don't know it. This is the emperor's mind.

"Your Majesty, Qin Qiong, has paid a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty is so kind to you, and I am very grateful to you."

Li Chengqian hurriedly helped Qin Qiong and said: "Teacher, this must not be the case. My father loves talents, especially the teacher and the two generals Luo. The two generals were just confused for a moment. Chengqian was just giving my father a way to step up. I dare not

Such a great gift from the teacher."

"Your Highness, what you think is a matter of words is a great kindness from me. People's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and not everyone has that kind of heart."

There is a reason for Qin Qiong's sigh. Ever since the rebellion between Luo Yi and his son, many old friends in the military have abandoned their relationship with Qin Qiong and stayed far away. Except for Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong and several caring brothers in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, no one dared to come.

.

"Why does the teacher have to be as knowledgeable as those snobs? It's good, because it can tell who your true friends are. The students know that the teacher's old wounds are difficult to heal, so he brought some supplements for the teacher to replenish." After the words,

Li Chengqian waved and Henglian and others placed the gift in front of Qin Qiong.

"Your Highness has taken the trouble, so I have the audacity to accept His Highness's kindness." Qin Qiong, who felt Li Chengqian's kindness, did not refuse. You must know that Qin Qiong never accepts gifts.

But Li Chengqian was different. This time Li Shimin gave this great favor in the hope that Qin Qiong would repay this kindness to his son.

"I know the purpose of Your Highness's visit. I am a rough man. If you have something to say, I will speak it out." After sitting down, Qin Qiong asked with a smile.

"Please ask the teacher for advice."

"As the Crown Prince, Your Majesty will never let His Majesty go to the battlefield. Learning martial arts is just to strengthen your body. The battlefield is dangerous, and it is not as simple as you think. As the saying goes, a son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace."

Li Chengqian was not surprised by Qin Qiong's question, and then said: "Since the Jin Dynasty, the world has fallen apart, and the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms have appeared successively. For three hundred years, there have been endless battles, and the people of the Central Plains have been displaced.

Today is the beginning of the war. There are internal disadvantages and powerful enemies outside. The Tang Dynasty needs a prince who can stabilize the country with civility and military power. If he can go to the battlefield with my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a blessing for the students.

The teacher is a veteran cavalry general who was famous all over the world in the previous dynasty. Cheng Qian has a set of heavy cavalry equipment given to the teacher now. The teacher can use it to train an invincible heavy cavalry and establish a new foundation in the battlefield of the Northern Expedition to the Turks in the future.

achievement."

Li Chengqian signaled Henglian to bring the cavalry equipment and horses into the yard. If there were any time travelers present at the scene, they would be able to tell at a glance that this was the Iron Buddha.

Qin Qiong's eyes shone as he touched these pieces of equipment. As an excellent cavalry general, he certainly knew that if such equipment could form an organizational structure, and supplemented by a certain amount of light cavalry, it would have unparalleled combat power.

"Your Highness, why don't you dedicate it to Your Majesty yourself?" You must know that to establish a new army, you need to ask the emperor for instructions. Li Chengqian clearly gave the credit to him. Even if he was his teacher, he shouldn't. Qin Qiong asked in confusion.

.

"Students dare not lie in front of the teacher. Although the student is a prince and still young, these sharp weapons are like pearls covered in dust in my hands. Teacher, a veteran on the battlefield, dedicated this thing to His Majesty to make a contribution to silence the mouths of those civil servants.

No."

"Your Highness treats me like this, I really have nothing to repay." Qin Qiong understood now that Li Chengqian was giving him a reason to return to the court in a legitimate manner, and firstly, to silence the civil servants who used Luo Yi's incident to attack him.

The second is to give the Qin family, which has already declined, a chance. How could he not know the fate of a family after two dynasties?

In the current situation, if Qin Qiong cannot gain a firm foothold in the army, he will have nothing to do with the Northern Expedition in the future, and the decline of the Qin family will be a foregone conclusion. He will never be able to repay Li Chengqian's kindness today in his lifetime.

"This is just a gift of a sword to a hero. Teacher, please don't be so polite," Li Chengqian replied with a smile.

The next day, Tai Chi Palace

"Your Majesty, I have a piece of heavy cavalry equipment to present to Your Majesty," Qin Qiong came out of the squad, and the guards brought the armor and vest into the hall.

Of course Li Shimin knew that Prince Li Chengqian visited the Qin Mansion yesterday and Qin Qiong presented his armor today. If he said that it wasn't for that brat, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"It seems that our General Zuo Wuwei has recovered from his illness. Only Shu Bao can make such a fine armor. Send the message, General Zuo Wuwei, Shangzhu Kingdom, Crown Prince Shaofu, Yi Kingdom Duke Qin Qiongong

Loyalty to the country, the dedication of armor was meritorious, the number of households increased to 1,200, and a new type of heavy cavalry was formed in the Zuowu Guards."

In the envious eyes of everyone, Qin Qiong thanked Li Shimin with a big gift, and Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde and other generals who had made friends with Qin Qiong congratulated one after another. As for those civil servants who wanted to make a fuss, they also understood that from today on, the tiger and bear general of the Prince of Qin's Palace is back.

.

"Well, it seems that the plan to weaken the generals of the Prince of Qin has to be reconsidered again." An old man standing in the front row of the hall thought to himself.

Therefore, Li Chengqian studied martial arts with Qin Qiong every morning, and learned how to handle government affairs with Li Gang and Zhang Xuansu in the afternoon.

Li Chengqian's learning was not easy. Although he had some foundation in the past, the battle formation technique of opening and closing was very different from what he had learned before. Qin Qiong's rich battlefield experience also benefited Li Chengqian a lot.

As for his other two masters, Li Chengqian had a headache. The two little old men had studied the art of emperors all their lives but had no use for it. This time Li Chengqian came to visit them, how could they let them go.

The two old men often had very different ideas from Li Chengqian about the same thing, and they were extremely stubborn. When did Li Chengqian say he was wrong, and when would he be able to settle the matter, which sometimes made him dumbfounded.
