As soon as Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian closed the door, turned around and walked a few steps to the front of the bed, and asked, "No, Brother Sheng!" Do you really support my father's imperial expedition? That's going to conquer Goguryeo! In front of the chaotic army, how could my father appear in person? ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian and said, "How many things have you seen that your father has decided that can be changed?" My father-in-law's personal expedition this time must be a foregone conclusion, and no one can convince him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info other things, maybe it can be persuasion, but only the conquest of Goguryeo, can't. Then why should I say something to discourage him and make him unhappy? ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "What do you mean by this?" Why is it that my father and the emperor have no room for the personal conquest of Goguryeo? ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "There are several reasons for this. First, the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the father-in-law is arrogant, and he wants to prove that he can still control thousands of troops and horses, and he is still sharp and courageous. Second, naturally, it was to boost morale and eliminate the opposition of the people and soldiers to the conquest of Goryeo to the greatest extent. After all, you also know that the three expeditions of the former Sui to Goryeo brought too much suffering to the people. Time is not far away, and the scars left by these hardships are still painful, and the conquest of Goguryeo again is inevitably like uncovering the scars. The father-in-law can eliminate some of this shadow to the greatest extent. Third, the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goryeo three times, and His Majesty wanted to go out in person to prove that he was much stronger than Emperor Yang. Fourth, the conquest of Goryeo is a major and difficult matter. My father-in-law is also a famous general of my Tang Dynasty, and if I go to watch it in person, I can rest assured that I can command the army well. As for the fifth, it has something to do with you. ”

"Me?" Li Chengqian was taken aback: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"Cheng Qian, think about it, if Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, left Chang'an, and went to Liaodong. So who should be left to deal with Chang'an's affairs? Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly—this expression was very similar to Li Shimin—and said, "If the father and emperor really drove the expedition in person...... The emperor drove the expedition in person, and the prince supervised the country, which has existed in ancient times. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, if Your Majesty is in charge of the expedition, the prince will definitely be in charge of the country." Your Majesty will also take a look at your ability, to see if you have the ability to handle tedious state affairs, handle the relationship between the ministers, and whether you have the ability to dispatch from the rear and do a good job of logistics for the Tang army that conquered Liaodong. Chengqian, this is your chance to show Your Majesty that you are capable of becoming a qualified prince, and you must do it well to satisfy Your Majesty. ”

Li Chengqian was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "This, it's a bit early to say now. But rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely leave some capable officials to assist you. However, I guess I won't be able to escape the expedition with Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows that I am friendly with you, and you also know that if I stay in Chang'an, I will help you in everything, so if you want you to be in charge of the country, you will definitely take me away. ”

"Huh? Brother Sheng, if you really go on the expedition, then if something happens, who will I ask! Li Chengqian cried and said.

"Didn't you say that? Your Majesty will certainly leave someone who is capable to assist you. Besides, as long as there are no accidents and things in the middle of the court, step by step, there will naturally be three provinces to do it for you. You just have to grasp the big picture. ”

During the period when the crown prince was in charge of the country, the officials of the East Palace were the officials who handled the national government affairs, and the official document format of the prince's system was used to issue documents to the whole country. The main members of the three provinces were also temporarily appointed to the official positions of the Eastern Palace, so that they could jointly assist the crown prince. That is to say, its administration is based on the East Palace system, and it issues documents to the whole country in the form of the East Palace system, and temporarily replaces the three provinces to preside over the national government affairs. The governors of the three provinces were temporarily transferred to the East Palace system in the form of concurrent photography to coordinate the communication between the two palaces. It is basically the same as the normal three-province and six-ministry system of the central government.

So as long as there are no accidents, there is actually no need to worry too much about not doing well.

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Chengqian felt better, turned a little excited, and said: "Brother Sheng, according to what you said, my father must drive the expedition in person this time, which also means to test me." Then I must work hard and make some achievements! ”

Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes to look at Li Chengqian, shook his head, and said: "Some small achievements are enough, the most important thing is that the DPRK and China are stable, and there are no accidents." You don't have to do too much. It's too much! ”

"Brother Sheng?" Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he understood what Xia Hongsheng meant: "You mean ......?"

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said: "Datang has always been His Majesty's Datang, and this will not change for at least a few decades." It's not your turn to call the shots! ”

"Got it! Thank you for the reminder! Li Chengqian nodded cautiously and said.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian, and suddenly remembered Li Chengqian in the original history. At present, it seems that there are no symptoms of his leg disease, and Sun Simiao gave him a physical examination, but he did not find any hidden diseases. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng felt that it was estimated that he should have been lame due to his injury. He became the crown prince at the age of eight, and Li Shimin's education method was quite crammed and high-pressure. It makes sense that his psychology was too depressed, which led him to be too indulgent when he had the opportunity to become an adult. And according to Xia Hongsheng's view, it is very likely that this is the case.

Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng then admonished Li Chengqian: "Also, Chengqian, you must be diligent in reporting to Your Majesty in a timely manner the affairs of the court and the decisions you have made. Let Your Majesty know what is going on in the court, and ask Your Majesty more to see if you handle it properly. Even a small innocuous mistake in handling political affairs is fine. Of course, in other aspects, especially in the style of life, we must not make the slightest mistake. A small mistake in politics is your lack of experience. But if it's a small mistake in style, it's a matter of attitude. Sometimes you feel depressed, you can run, practice boxing, or even find Yi Qiulou and them to fight with you, but you must not indulge yourself. Teach you a way, sometimes I feel too depressed, so I hide in the house and roll up the quilt, beat it hard, and after being exhausted, I feel refreshed, hahaha! ”

Li Chengqian also laughed out loud: "Beat the quilt...... Brother Sheng, you are really ...... Hahaha! ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian, he was actually a very good successor, and he originally had that ability. I hope that my arrival can change his tragic fate. (To be continued.) )
