There is no doubt about the military strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if there is no Li Chengqian, he still considers himself second, and no one dares to recognize him as first.
Especially during Li Shimin's reign, Datang's land and cavalry armies were a nightmare for neighboring countries.
But it was precisely because the land and cavalry armies were so brilliant that the Tang Dynasty never developed a naval army.
This also makes Datang's navy always the weakest point of Datang.
The only naval commander who could do it well was Li Xiaogong.
And in the normal historical timeline.
After the death of Li Xiaogong, the Navy of the Tang Dynasty experienced a darkest moment.
Even the Japanese pirates did not take the Tang Navy in their eyes.
It was not until Li Zhi came to the throne and wiped out the Western Turks in one fell swoop that he began to focus on the sea and take advantage of the trend to build a navy. .??.
The battle at Baijiangkou completely established the reputation of the Tang Navy.
And now.
Datang actually faced the same situation.
Today, Li Xiaogong is still the only naval general who can do this.
Li Xiaogong has also stated many times that he will never go to the battlefield again unless the country reaches a moment of life and death.
He retired to the mountains and forests.
There was a gap in the naval generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the whole dynasty, the only one left who could and had the ability to serve as a general of the Tang Navy was Li Chongyi.
Think of this.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "In this case, even if I want to choose someone else, I can't."
"Indeed."
"These young people in the court."
"Whether it's ability or experience, compared to Li Chongyi, he's a bit unsatisfactory."
"So, Father, please decide for yourself whether you want to choose Chongyi or not."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said: "The next morning, I will raise this matter in the court. It will then depend on my father's decision."
Li Shimin looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "I understand."
"Then I will leave first."
Li Chengqian took a step and was about to leave.
At this time Then, Li Shimin stopped him.
"Don't rush back to the East Palace yet."
"Go to Xianchi Palace to see your brother."
"I heard that he is troubled by his homework recently."
Li Shimin said calmly: "As the eldest brother, you should teach him."
"oh."
Li Chengqian responded and then walked out of the Manlu Hall.
I thought about it for a while.
He still followed Li Shimin's instructions and came to Xianchi Hall.
…
The location of Xianchi Hall is not far from Heyu Hall, with one south and one north facing each other.
And the person living here is none other than Li Chengqian's younger brother, King Li Zhi of Jin.
He is twelve years old this year.
Logically speaking, one should live outside in a separate house.
But because Tiger Father and Wolf Mother wanted to personally supervise his studies, they kept him in the inner palace.
When the palace officials in Xianchi Palace saw Li Chengqian approaching, they all saluted him.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"no!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand casually and said, "Where is Brother Zhi? Is he in the palace?"
"exist!"
The palace servant replied: "I will call you now."
"No need!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "I'll just go in and take a look myself. You all should be busy first."
Finished.
He then stepped into the main hall of Xianchi Hall.
Far away, he saw a figure sitting in front of the desk scratching his head and ears.
Li Chengqian has been basically too busy in recent years, so he rarely comes to Xianchi Palace.
However, Li Zhi would go to the East Palace to find him every once in a while to say hello to him.
"what happened?"
Li Chengqian walked slowly to the table and smiled
Yingying Road.
Hearing the sound, Li Zhi raised his head.
Seeing Li Chengqian, a touch of surprise flashed across his face: "Brother Emperor, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
"hehe."
"Father, you are stumped by your homework. Let me come and see you."
Li Chengqian walked to the table and glanced at the paper on the table: "Hey, you still have a lot of homework?"
"yes."
Li Zhi pouted and said, "And these are just part of it, there will be more later."
"Your teacher is too much."
Li Chengqian's eyes widened and he said, "I have assigned you so much homework. Who can finish it?"
Li Zhi glanced at Li Chengqian with a rather resentful look and said, "My brother, our teacher has said that the homework will be assigned according to your requirements."
Now Li Zhi is studying in the Imperial College.
However, the current Imperial College is slightly different from the original Imperial College.
The subjects studied have also changed from the Four Books and Five Classics at the beginning to the new teaching materials now.
Many contents in the textbook were personally participated in the compilation by Li Chengqian.
Regarding the education system and planning, Li Chengqian was very busy and formulated many regulations.
But this was several years ago.
Li Chengqian also heard what he said, and then he remembered.
"This is your fault."
"Why don't you finish the homework assigned by the teacher?"
Li Chengqian said with a straight face: "Hurry up, I'm here to watch you do it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Okay.
Changing faces is faster than turning the page of a book.
But for Li Chengqian, Li Zhi only respected him and had no dissatisfaction.
He looked down at his class homework, then looked up at Li Chengqian and asked: "Brother Emperor, can you memorize this multiplication table?"
"Remove that word "?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, pointed at his nose and said, "This is what your brother set up. Do you think your brother will carry it out?"
explain come here.
Li Chengqian suddenly felt something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you know how to memorize it?"
"No, no..."
Li Zhi laughed heartily.
Li Chengqian's eyes were narrowed into slits.
"Come, let me test you!"
Li Chengqian said casually: "What is the score of three-nine?"
"Three-nine..."
Li Zhi obviously did not expect that he would suddenly test himself, clasped his fingers and said: "Three-nine, three-nine and twenty-seven!"
"Four-nine!"
"Four-nine...four-nine-thirty-two."
"Snapped!"
Li Chengqian slapped Li Zhi on the head: "Tell me again, how much is forty-nine?"
"Forty-nine, forty-nine..."
Li Zhi glanced at Li Chengqian aggrievedly and murmured: "Four nine thirty-six!"
Li Chengqian hummed and asked again: "Sanqi!"
"Three seven twenty-one!"
"July 4th!"
"July 4, July 4..."
"You want to piss me off, right?"
Li Chengqian stood next to Li Zhi and said, "You don't know how to solve such a simple question?"
"I, I remembered."
Li Zhi swallowed and said: "Twenty-eight!"
"I guess you were right."
Li Chengqian walked slowly to the vase at the door and took out a feather duster.
"From now on, I'm going to increase the difficulty."
"You've made a mistake in memorizing it, it's just a prototype, you don't have any objections?"
have opinions.
Li Zhi had a big opinion.
But facing Li Chengqian, he didn't dare to say anything.
Li Zhi lowered his head and said: "No objection..."
"That's good."
Li Chengqian said with a straight face: "We will continue to learn the multiplication formula, and then recite the Chinese Pinyin. If we make a mistake, we will get beaten."
