After leaving the mansion where the Gaochang mission lived.
Changsun Chong, who was following Li Chengqian, couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, you know clearly that these are not what King Gaochang wants to hear, and you even know that today's remarks will inevitably spread to the outside world, why do you still do this?
Generally speaking?"
The subject of war can make almost anyone's mood change.
Regardless of whether it is a common person or a minister of the DPRK, whenever someone mentions these two words, their nerves will naturally become tense.
Today, Li Chengqian and Qu Wentai said that there will be a war with the Western Turks in the future, and this will definitely spread outside.
Not to mention that the Western Turkic people would become even more hostile to the Tang Dynasty after hearing what Li Chengqian said.
Even if the people of the country heard this, they would still think that Li Chengqian was a war madman.
And now the Western Turkic mission is in Datang.
If they hear it, how will they act in the future?
But Li Chengqian didn't care about this.
He said: "Am I able to stop fighting just because I say I won't fight?"
"I know that the reason why Qu Wentai asked me this is because he wanted to hear some news about peace."
"After all, the importance of peace to a country is extremely precious."
"As long as the Tang Dynasty can maintain the current relationship with the Western Turks, which is neither confrontation nor war, they will have a good life in Gaochang."
"He even hoped that I could deceive him and tell him that the Tang Dynasty would not go to war with the Western Turks."
"In this way, he can enjoy himself with peace of mind during his term of office, and his humiliating experience will not be recorded in the history books of future generations."
Li Chengqian curled up his lips and said, "But I just don't want him to succeed. I just want him to live with his heart in mind all day long."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was even more puzzled.
He looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "But it seems that what you do is of no benefit to us."
"No good?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a smile: "Your situation is much smaller than it looks." r> "Don't forget, as long as Gaochang State is always in a state of war readiness, the Western Turks must always remain vigilant."
"As long as there is any disturbance in the future, they will be on tenterhooks for a while."
"And don't you think that living in such an environment all day long will make them fear us that is hard to describe in words?"
After hearing this, Changsun Chong was also stunned.
If you think about it carefully, what Li Chengqian said does make sense.
Sometimes, everything in reality is not terrible. What is truly terrible is people's own imagination.
For example, someone slapped you when you were a child, so hard that you remember it very clearly. Ten or twenty years later, when you see this person, you will still feel guilty.
This is the seed of fear that person planted in your heart.
It will not fade away over time, but will become deeper and heavier as time goes by.
In comparison, the Tang Dynasty's previous attacks on the Western Turks were extremely brutal.
Even now, the corpses of the comrades abandoned by the Western Turkic Army can be found in the ravines of Jinshan Mountain.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was not yet complete. There were no Zhenguan cannons today, let alone muskets today.
The Tang Dynasty today will only be stronger than that time, and will never be any weaker than that time.
The Western Turks were no match for the Tang Dynasty at that time, but are they now?
In this way, this fear will further expand.
Maybe when the Tang Dynasty really wants to take action against the Western Turks, many people in the Western Turks will feel war-weary before even going to the battlefield.
And this will be the advantage that Datang will have before the war begins.
I have to say that Li Chengqian is getting worse and worse.
Want to understand all this?
Zhixing said directly: "You guys, besides studying and scheming others all day long, can you think of other things?"
"I also want to think of something else."
"But my identity doesn't allow it. What can I do? I'm also desperate."
Li Chengqian laughed evilly, looked at Gao Zhixing and whispered: "Besides, don't you know that that guy Zhao Youlin is still thinking about my sister to this day?"
At the beginning, the matter between Li Tingxue and Zhao Youlin was aroused.
Even Gao Zhixing himself gave up his travels and ran back to Chang'an City to keep an eye on him because of this incident.
And how could Gao Zhixing not have other thoughts about this love rival?
When he heard Li Chengqian say this, Gao Zhixing's face turned black.
He looked directly at Li Chengqian and said: "I don't care about anything else, but when fighting the Western Turks, I must be the one who leads the troops."
"Hahahahaha..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed out loud.
The same was true for the few people next to him, all of whom were jealous and jealous.
Next, Li Chengqian led a few people and ran from house to house.
The so-called grand gathering of all nations cannot only come to one or two people, but there are indeed quite a few people coming to Datang this time.
To the east of the Tang Dynasty were Baekje, Silla, and Japan.
In the north of the Tang Dynasty, there were also Xue Yantuo, Jiegu and Guligan.
To the west of the Tang Dynasty were Tubo, Western Turks, Shule, Humi, Bakhan and other small countries in the Western Regions.
Of course, there are also the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, Gaoda Kingdom, Piao Kingdom, Lamphen Kingdom, Liuzhao Kingdom, etc...
After visiting each family for two and a half days, Li Chengqian finally completed the task assigned by Li Shimin and successfully saved his butt.
…
Kunning Palace.
Empress Changsun sat on the throne and looked at the book in her hand.
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, knelt down and sat in front of his eldest grandson. The queen behind her was rubbing her shoulders.
Seeing such a strange scene, the concubines who came to pay homage to Empress Changsun were all stunned.
who is he?
He is the current prince.
Even though he is the son of Empress Changsun, he still has to pay attention to his manners.
Now he is serving tea and water, and rubbing his shoulders and forehead. He is simply more of a servant than a servant.
Although Empress Changsun also wanted to stop him, under the strong request of this guy, she complied with his wishes.
Empress Changsun also expressed that she was not surprised by this guy's courtesy for nothing.
After all the people who greeted her had left, Empress Changsun slowly asked: "What's wrong? Did you make your father angry again and come to me to avoid trouble?"
"My queen mother."
"Although your son is a little naughty, he's not that bad, right?"
Li Chengqian curled his lips a little aggrievedly and said, "My son, I just miss you today..."
"Miss me, miss me."
"If you really missed me, why didn't you come over earlier?"
Empress Changsun also poked Li Chengqian's forehead with her finger and said: "You guy, in the final analysis, is a master who has no profit and cannot afford to be early."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Chengqian's face became embarrassed.
He scratched his head and said, "Actually, I don't have anything else to do. I just want to ask for a reward from my mother."
"Ask for reward?"
Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian with an inexplicable eyebrow raised.
What happened to this guy today? Why did he ask for a reward from himself?
Is he short of money?
No, didn't this guy make his small business a success? Why is he still short of money?
And Li Chengqian also knew that his mother had misunderstood him.
He quickly said: "It's not a reward for me, it's a reward for Silla's Kinderman..."
