Chapter 1414: The head office won’t lend you a knife, right?
Li Chengqian's main business was to meet Li Shimin.
When Li Chengqian arrived at Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin had already returned from the court and was sitting in the hall reviewing the memorial.
After arriving and standing in the palace, Li Chengqian bowed and said, "My son, I pay homage to my father."
"Going drunk and crazy in the East Palace..."
Li Shimin said without raising his head: "You, Li Chengqian, are also the number one person who has surveyed ancient and modern times."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment.
How come Li Shimin also knows about this?
Who spread the word?
"Okay, stop guessing."
"It's not the ones in your East Palace who told me." .??.
Li Shimin raised his head, glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "This place is the palace, my territory."
Indeed, the imperial palace was Li Shimin's territory.
No matter what happened inside, even if a hair fell to the ground, Li Shimin would know it immediately if he wanted to know.
"actually……"
"Actually, I didn't drink that much..."
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly and said: "It's just that I haven't drank for a long time, and I'm a little overwhelmed by the alcohol."
"hehe."
Li Shimin chuckled lightly and said, "You can't even drink too much to get into trouble like that. If you can't drink too much, you might even smash up the East Palace, right?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was embarrassed on the spot.
He glanced at Li Shimin timidly and whispered: "I know I was wrong."
"I don't care if I know I'm wrong."
"Just remember this, this is only for this once."
"If you dare to do something like this next time that will embarrass the royal family..."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "I will make your butt blossom!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"There will never be a next time."
Seeing that he had no intention of punishing him immediately, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
Li Shimin waved his hands randomly and said: "Get out of here!" "Well……"
"My son, I can't get out yet."
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly and said, "There are still things I haven't finished talking about."
"what's up?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said impatiently: "Say it together."
"Um, didn't you ask me to go to Qinzhou?"
Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and said, "But you also know the situation in Qinzhou. The ministers there have gone. It's really not a good idea."
"Those uncles and uncles are much more senior than I."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said tentatively: "Do you think you can find two people to accompany me?"
As I said before, Qinzhou is an extremely special place.
Where is Li Shimin's place of Longxing, it is also the place where Li Shimin placed many meritorious deeds.
You might meet an old man walking a bird when you go out. He might be an old soldier who followed Li Shimin in his wars.
Anyone you meet is very likely to have extraordinary abilities and skills.
Maybe today I will see a young man beating up the military commander Chiang Kai-shek in the street, and tomorrow I will see an old man pointing at the magistrate’s nose and yelling curses.
In a place like this, anything can happen.
The purpose of Li Shimin asking Li Chengqian to go here is nothing more than to use this place as a starting point to punish bad practices in the country.
But if it is to punish some second-generation officials, Li Chengqian's qualifications may be able to suppress it.
But if he really had to deal with those meritorious veterans of the same generation as Li Shimin, he would really have no idea...
Of course Li Shimin also knew this.
At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Who do you want to go with you?"
Li Chengqian bowed and said: "Hou Junji, Mr. Hou, and our teacher, General Li Ji."
These two people were also the result of Li Chengqian's careful consideration.
Hou Junji is good at martial arts. If anyone dares to bully him, just let Hou Junji beat him up.
As for Li Ji, he had outstanding military exploits. After Li Jing's death, his military exploits were second only to Li Xiaogong's in the Tang army.
It would be most appropriate for him to help him hold off the battle.
But who knows, Li Shimin shook his head.
"Now that spring is coming, Hou Junji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has to take up the post of examiner and cannot go."
"And Li Ji is even worse. After the Spring Examination, it will be time for the martial arts examination at the Wuhan Academy."
Li Shimin knocked on the table and said: "So, if these two people are not good enough, let's replace them with two more."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He said directly to Li Shimin: "If that doesn't work, how about letting Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi go with their sons?"
It doesn’t matter whether Cheng Yaojin or Yuchi Jingde.
Both of them have very high prestige in the military.
If Hou Junji and the others don't go, obviously these two people are the most suitable replacements.
But Li Shimin still shook his head and said: "They can't do it either."
"Cheng Yaojin, as General Jinwuwei, is responsible for Chang'an affairs."
Li Shimin tilted his head and said: "Yuchi Jingde is going to Xiazhou to inspect military affairs in the past few days, so I can't go with you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was speechless.
He looked at Li Shimin and said: "How about the uncle of the king of Rencheng and the uncle of the king of Hejian?"
No surprise, Li Shimin still shook his head and said: "No."
"The King of Hejian is nearly fifty years old, how can I accompany you to do this nonsense?"
Li Shimin raised his head and said: "As for King Rencheng, he will go to Jinzhou in the next few days to supervise the performance of officials for me."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes widened.
"Father."
"These are the only veterans in our court."
Li Chengqian spread his hands and said, "How come you were sent out?"
"Otherwise, you can assign someone to me."
"Even if you let me take Brother General Xue with me, that's fine."
When dealing with those people, if there are not many An old guy with outstanding achievements followed.
Even if he is a prince, not many people will give him face when he goes there.
After all, those people all claim to be Li Shimin's brothers and Li Chengqian's uncles.
At this moment, the General Xue he was talking about was not Xue Li or Xue Rengui, but the two brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun.
"no."
Li Shimin shook his head seriously and said: "They all want to help me train in the Shenwu Army, and they can't give it to you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt angry in his heart.
Obviously, Li Shimin had no intention of letting anyone follow him.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that all the people who could be transferred out would be transferred out at this time?
What about cheating your son?
Ask me to help you deal with those lords in Qinzhou, but you are not going to give me men yet.
Are you taking this opportunity to retaliate against me?
Old fox, bah, shameless!
Li Chengqian also despised his father in his heart for a long time.
And just when Li Chengqian felt a little melancholy and didn't know what to do, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Shimin behind him.
Hey!
Who said that you have to be talented to scare those lords?
"Since my father won't give me anyone."
"Then Father, please bring me the knife on your back..."
The sword that Li Chengqian pointed to was none other than Li Shimin's extremely precious Dingtang sword.
To a certain extent, this is the contemporary sword of Shang Fang.
Although you can't kill a foolish king, you should have no problem killing a rebellious minister...
Li Shimin looked back at the Dingtang Dao hanging on the wall, and a flash of physical pain flashed across his face.
But in the end, he still gave Eunuch Zhou a wink.
Eunuch Zhou agreed, and immediately stepped over and took down the Dingtang Dao from the wall and handed it to Li Shimin.
After taking the knife, Li Shimin touched the handle, and then said to Li Chengqian: "If it is broken, you are the only one to ask!"
After saying that, he threw the knife in the air to Li Chengqian.
