Chapter 909: Playing Polo
909. Playing polo
Li Pojun looked forward to using troops as soon as possible and then going to the battlefield, but Li Shimin was obviously calculating, seeing Li Pojun mentioning that fighting was excited, Li Shimin frowned, knocked on the dragon case, and shouted: "You are the prince of the country, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, how can you think about going into battle all day long, since ancient times, there is only one who will fight the world immediately, and there is no one who will rule the world immediately, you give me honesty, do what you should do at your age."
Li Pojun touched his nose when he heard this, and said with a straight smile: "Isn't this a child, follow Aya."
Li Shimin stroked his beard, ignored it, and said to himself: "Now the use of troops to send troops to the army is nameless, which is also in line with the meaning of profit, and the Tang Dynasty cannot send troops first."
Li Pojun frowned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "You can't send troops first, do you have to fight back after beating them one after another?" That's too embarrassing."
"Roll the calf, this is called a famous teacher, what is called beating again and again to fight back. When the Eastern Turks mobilize troops, the Tang Dynasty will use troops again, and this is the right division." Li Shimin's eyes glared and said, "Do you want to say that I am rigid and corrupt?" ”
Li Pojun shook his head busily, joking, can you say this, if you say it, you will be kicked again.
Li Shimin also earnestly taught: "The Weishui Covenant, I and Lili are brothers, although this is a great shame, but the brotherly covenant is still there, if the Tang Dynasty takes the lead in sending troops, betraying the covenant will be despised by the world, contrary to morality, and detrimental to the prestige of the country." If the Turks send troops first, then our Datang will occupy the righteousness, and the army and the people will be united, so why not break the Turks."
Li Pojun nodded, "That's right, but it's aggrieved to passively wait to be beaten and then fight back." Li Pojun's face was tangled, and he looked constipated.
Li Shimin was angry when he saw it, "Aren't you resourceful and scheming on weekdays, but now you have become a pig's brain, think about it, think about it, think about the motives of the Eastern Turks."
"The motive for sending troops? Isn't it just to loot winter supplies? Then let's defend the city, and when he comes to attack, Datang has its own name, but it's just outside the city...... Solid wall clearing? Li Pojun listened to Li Shimin's training and muttered in a low voice. Suddenly, it occurred to me that since ancient times, the nomads wanted to go south to fight the grass valley, and the Han people could only hide in the city by holding the wall.
Li Shimin nodded slowly and said: "I have ordered Zhang Shigui, the assassin of Suzhou, and Zhang Baoxiang, the assassin of Ganzhou, to clear the wilderness in two places, and squeeze each other's horns to guard against Turkic and Turkic ...... will not take advantage of it". Li Shimin's appearance was quite confident, and Li Pojun nodded when he heard it, expressing his agreement.
With Zhang Shigui here, there should be no problem, after all, the shadow of the famous tree, Zhang Shigui is a real famous general, Zhang Shigui is good at riding and shooting, and he can be a general who rushes into battle, and he has a strategy to be a commander, he is very powerful, but it is not the image of jealousy, persecution of loyalty, and even rebellion in Romance.
"Then we can only wait now", Li Pojun was excited for a while, and said with a tasteless pout.
"Don't think about going on an expedition, if you want to go out again, you will go crazy to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and fighting is a warrior's business, not what you, the prince, should do." Li Shimin glared and said, Li Pojun was busy, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy was not careful, and Li Shimin also twitched his face and did not speak.
"In a few days, a polo match will be held in the palace, you will also go to play, you look at you, a yellow-haired boy is old-fashioned all day long, what does it look like, do something that young people should do." Li Shimin got up and frowned behind his back and said, just pacing.
Li Pojun was left alone to touch his chin and ponder, his smooth chin was not yet stubble, "Does this mean that I am overmature......
patted his ass and got up, and was about to return to the East Palace, but he ran into Wang Jingzhong, who followed Li Shimin to the apse and turned back, "Your Highness stays." Wang Jingzhong walked up the mountain with a few folds in his hand, panted and said, "Fortunately, His Highness didn't go far."
"The prince is running like a tiger, and his body is very good, is there anything wrong?" Li Pojun looked at Wang Jingzhong and gasped, and also laughed.
"Your Highness, this is what you have commanded you." Wang Jingzhong took out a thick small stack of music from his arms and handed it to Li Pojun.
Just as he was about to open it to take a look, Wang Jingzhong stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone told His Highness to go back and see it again, and don't leak it out."
Li Pojun was even more suspicious when he heard this, what kind of thing is this, so mysterious.
After returning to the East Palace, Li Pojun opened the song and looked at it, and laughed, it turned out that these were all impeachments against him, Zhang Xingcheng, Su Zhicheng, the imperial history, and Chen Deqian, the imperial historian, and Wei Zheng, the doctor of the palace...... I'll go, it's a big vote, they're all impeaching me, I really have a face.
Li Pojun was overjoyed, these imperial histories were really enough. I've been riding horses in the palace for many years, and it's not like there's no, I'm riding a horse in my own house to do what you're doing. There is also the impeachment of me for acting beyond my authority and interfering in politics too much.
Suddenly, Li Pojun was stunned, his face was slightly shocked, and he was too involved in politics...... Daddy kept telling him to do something that a young man should do...... That's Daddy's reminder.
It seems that I interfered in some things in the imperial court, which touched the rights and interests of some people, you said that you are a young prince who is not good at eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, how good it is to read and go shopping, what are you doing so much all day long, you can get involved in this matter of the imperial court, and you also have that matter, in short, the officials of the DPRK and China are a little dissatisfied with Li Pojun's interference in the government affairs, and Li Pojun can't help but shout that he is wronged.
What made Li Pojun most uncertain was his father's words, did his father not stand the impeachment of the ministers, so he told me this, or did he mean it this way, did I really interfere a little too much? Li Pojun thought about it for a long time, but he still decided to listen to his father, listening to his father is right, the identity of the prince and prince cannot give him a sense of security, only his father can give him safety.
After thinking about it, he walked out of the Cheng'en Palace, only to find that he found that twilight had fallen, and when he said to the attendant on the side: "Go and pass a message, let Fang Yiai, Du He, Cheng Chuliang, Li Zhen, Yuwen Zen Master, Yu Chi Baoqing, Li Chongyi enter the palace tomorrow to find me." The chamberlain silently memorized the names of the people and went to deliver the message.
What is Li Pojun looking for him to do, of course he is playing polo, didn't Dad say that he would play polo in a few days, so call his friends in to practice first.
Polo, Li Pojun still knows very well, because his father Li Shimin likes to play polo very much, polo games have existed since ancient times, also called bowing, this highly competitive and exciting sport, as early as the Han Dynasty was more popular, Cao Zhi's "Famous Capital" has the verses to describe the lively scene of people playing polo at that time, has always been very popular with dignitaries and the army, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Li Shimin father and son are good at riding and shooting, and also like to play polo. Polo soon became popular throughout the country.
