Chapter 1228: You do the work and I take the thunder.
Li Ke once upon a time.
Because Li Shimin "loved" Li Chengqian too much, he was jealous.
But now, after receiving the same treatment as Li Chengqian, this guy can no longer bear the "pampering" from the emperor.
Sometimes when I think about Li Chengqian's life carefully, there is really nothing to envy.
On weekdays, I have to accompany Li Shimin, the emperor.
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and accompanying a king and father is even more so, even worse.
After all, throughout the dynasties, there were quite a few princes who were deposed because of their discordant relationship with Lao Tzu.
So from the moment I sat in this position, every step I took was like walking on thin ice.
Moreover, he is usually stared at not only by the ministers, but also by the aristocratic families and the common people.
If you act a little more radically, you will be criticized by ministers.
If your behavior is even slightly inappropriate, the family will take it out and make a fuss about it.
And if you do something bad, you will end up with a lot of infamy among the people.
Apart from anything else, just the word freedom is the most extravagant hope for him as a prince.
If you want to go out for a walk, you have to beg Li Shimin for a long time.
And even if you go out, you still don't know how many hidden crises you will face in the end.
Thinking of this, Li Ke laughed for no reason.
When he looked at Li Chengqian's back, he laughed out loud for no reason.
But he didn't know that this laughter was laughing at his own naive behavior.
I still laugh at the original Li Chengqian, who was glamorous on the outside but suffered hardships behind the scenes.
…
Vertical sun.
In the Wuyan Academy, Li Shimin's imperial list was posted.
The above explains the current tense situation in Silla and the importance of Silla to the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Li Shimin also made an official statement, strongly condemning Baekje's invasion of Silla as a rule, and it also had a very bad impact on the surrounding vassal countries.
Finally, he wrote a letter stating that students from the Military Academy should be mobilized to assist Silla.
However, as an emperor, Li Shimin would definitely not let his son manipulate him. .
So he also did some tricks on the imperial list.
He changed the calling of his son to depend on his personal wishes.
In other words, it all depends on whether one is willing to go to help Silla fight against Baekje.
If you are unwilling to go, the court will not blame you, and it will not ignore people who refuse to help Silla.
In Li Shimin's view, as long as this is the case, very few people will leave, and in the end, soldiers and horses will have to be mobilized from the army.
As soon as this incident came out, all the little ones in the court rushed to Li Chengqian and told him about it.
When he heard the news, Li Chengqian was also a little dumbfounded.
"My father-in-law, sometimes he seems a little cute when he does things."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Does he really think that there is nothing I can do about it?"
Hearing this, several people around him were also stunned.
Li Chongyi was the first to speak: "My Lord, are you still planning to plot against His Majesty?"
After that day was over, even though he didn't see it, he heard the sound in the Tai Chi Hall as he was leaving.
At this moment, he also said in his heart: "Is it you who haven't been beaten enough?"
Li Chengqian didn't know what he was thinking either.
Otherwise, he would definitely have to ask Li Tingxue to come over and take care of this guy.
"It's not a calculation."
"It's just a matter of changing the rules."
Li Chengqian rubbed his chin, looked at Li Ke beside him, and said, "I remember I said at the beginning that I asked Ke to include the reinforcement of Silla in the graduation assessment, right?"
"Um."
Li Ke nodded and said: "But at that time, Silla and Baekje had not yet started war, so I did not make any changes."
"That's good."
"The time for change is now."
Li Chengqian also raised his head and said:
"Tell them when you get back."
"If you want to graduate as soon as possible, join the war as soon as possible."
"It doesn't take much, as long as they kill five enemies on the battlefield."
"I will make the final decision regarding graduation."
"If you don't want to, then continue to stay in the Wuhan Academy and study with me for two years."
"As for whether to participate in the martial arts competition or decide on the allocation based on written results, it all depends on my mood."
Hearing this, several people present were stunned.
You know, the first batch of students at the Wuhan Academy have already been studying for one year.
If you add another year, it will be three full years.
The peak period of a general is only a few years.
If you don't gain more military merit while you are young, then there will be no possibility of promotion in the future.
Although most of the first batch of students at the Wuhan Academy were young, many of them were local generals with previous military exploits.
If you stay at the Wuhan Academy during your peak period, wouldn't it be a waste of your life?
Aren’t all the previous efforts in vain?
What's more, this guy also said that he wanted people to participate in martial arts.
Unless he was a top general like Xue Li, how could he stand out in the auditions of so many people across the country?
After hearing his words, Li Kezhi said: "My royal brother."
"Even the students, let alone my father, would not agree to your arrangement."
But Li Chengqian didn't care about this.
"If you are really capable, you won't be afraid of this."
"I'm afraid of those who have no ability but want to get by."
"Are people who are just dawdling worthy of staying in our army of the Tang Dynasty?"
"If you want to prove yourself, then go to the battlefield and give it a try."
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and said, "Besides, I also said that as long as you kill five enemies, you can pass the test directly. Isn't it difficult?"
"Kill five enemies People may seem difficult to others."
"But it is very easy with our current technology and military power."
"Artillery, we have it."
"We also have muskets."
"We even have sky fire thunder that explodes when thrown."
"And ours is a battle of hot weapons against cold weapons."
"It can be said that we can kill the enemy from a hundred meters away. What else is there to fear?"
Li Chengqian really couldn't understand why these people were still so afraid of wolves before and tigers behind.
Their technology and military power have long been able to crush their enemies.
In his opinion, this trip is just to test whether the training subjects he proposed before are reasonable.
And if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't leave, he himself would have wanted to lead the Qianzi camp to save him such a hard work.
After hearing his words, the people present were also silent for a while.
After all, what he told was the truth.
There were also several people present who had experienced previous wars against the Japanese.
And they all visited the ordnance camp afterwards and saw those new weapons.
Li Ke also pursed his lips and said: "Five enemies are not many, but how do you explain it to your father?"
"Explain?"
"Why should I give an explanation to my father?"
Li Chengqian also rolled his eyes and said: "Originally, the two of us are solely responsible for the matter of the Military Academy and military reform."
"As for my father, he just pops in occasionally."
"This war is now crucial to military reform and the future military direction of the Tang Dynasty. How can we control so much?"
Li Chengqian patted his chest and said, "Just go ahead and make the arrangements, and leave the rest to me."
The underlying meaning of this sentence is, just do it and I will bear the thunder.
After hearing this, Li Kena felt relieved.
He said: "Then you have agreed that you will be the one to bear the thunder in the end..."
