Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chu Suiliang's beard twitched, and he pointed at Wei Ting and Du Chuke and spoke sternly.

"Bullshit, how could Goguryeo be as weak as you describe?"

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty led three expeditions to Goguryeo, but was ultimately defeated each time."

"You two are encouraging the Crown Prince to go to war. What are you thinking?"

do my best.

Although Chu Suiliang's official rank was not as high as Wei Ting and Du Chuke, at this moment he seemed like another Wei Zheng.

He is of strong character and speaks frankly.

"Haha, I think you, Chu Suiliang, are the ones with bad intentions!"

Wei Ting curled his lips into a sneer, then clasped his fists towards Li Shimin and said.

"The Crown Prince is gradually showing his potential as a wise ruler in terms of civil administration, but he has made no achievements in the military."

"When your majesty and all the civil and military officials grow old, who will be able to protect the prince from the wind and rain?"

"How can the prince's command ability improve without the baptism of war?"

Surprising.

So weird!

The scene suddenly became quiet.

All the officials stared at Wei Ting in amazement, their jaws almost dropping to the ground in surprise.

Could it be that this old guy has changed his boss and now joins the prince?

Even Du He, the prince's number one lackey, couldn't utter these words!

These words were heartfelt, well-reasoned, and entirely for Li Chengqian's sake.

Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and Cui Renshi also looked at Wei Ting with trepidation, and the same thought came to their minds.

"Is Wei Ting going to rebel against the King of Wei?"

At the beginning, Wei Ting and Du Chuke instigated the prince to go to war. They could see that they wanted the prince to make a mistake.

But after hearing what he said now, it seemed that something had changed.

Wei Ting looked at the inexplicable looks of his ministers and felt a pang in his heart: "Oops, I overacted..."

"You still have to be careful, lest the King of Wei think too much, that would be bad."

Alas, I still couldn’t help it.

It seems that I need to learn more from Changsun Wuji.

Liu Li, who was against the prince going to war, stood up and said, "Wei Siqing is right. The prince should go to the army to gain experience in commanding troops."

uh~

No way!

Didn't Liu Li oppose the crown prince's expedition? Why did he change his attitude so quickly?

All the officials looked at each other, some of them not understanding Wei Ting and Liu Li.

Liu Li's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "However, we should not take Goguryeo, a strong enemy, as the prince's opponent."

"You can use Liaoren, Khitan or Xi as a whetstone and let the prince lead the troops to fight!"

If Liu Li's words were to spread and heard by people from the Khitan or Xi countries, they would definitely scold him to death.

They were obedient vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, paying tribute on time and in full every year.

You are treating us like the prince’s whetstone!

Fortunately, Du Chuke stood up in time to speak for them: "Minister Liu, what you said is inappropriate. A country that can be pacified by any general can be pacified. Isn't it a waste of talent to let the prince go to conquer it?"

"And there is no difficulty at all. What can the prince learn from this?"

"Isn't that a waste of time?"

Makes sense!

This time, even Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others nodded repeatedly in approval.

"Not good..."

"If this trend continues, won't it be possible for Li Chengqian to lead the expedition?"

Du He frowned.

He is not as radical as the original owner, he prefers to take a steady approach.

In his heart, he still hoped that Li Chengqian would not go on the expedition to avoid many unnecessary risks.

"Well, forget it, let's go to the battle."

"When the time comes, just bring along big guys like Li Ji and Hou Junji."

When Du He thought about the reason Li Chengqian went to the war, which was because of his lame leg, he felt relieved.

Next, the supporters and opponents continued to argue, each saying that they were right.

The argument went on for a while, and the entire Tai Chi Hall was filled with the sound of them scolding each other.

Even the vegetable market is not so lively.

"Quiet!"

Li Shimin was annoyed by the noise, so he shouted loudly.

When the court officials saw that Li Shimin had an angry look on his face, they slowly shut their mouths.

Li Shimin's eyes were like an eagle's, and his sharp gaze swept across all the ministers, making them tremble with fear.

A moment of silence.

Li Shimin retracted his gaze, turned to look at Li Chengqian, and said with a gentle expression.

"Prince, some people support you to lead the army, and some people oppose you. Tell me what you think."

"Yes, Father."

Li Chengqian propped himself up and stood up. He bowed to Li Shimin and then turned to face the court officials.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Since Emperor Gaozu, the emperors of our Tang Dynasty have all possessed strong abilities in commanding troops."

"This is not something that is innate, but is gradually formed through constant training on the battlefield."

"Since the reigns of Emperor Qin and Emperor Han, although we have repeatedly conquered the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty, it won't be long before they rebel again after their national strength grows."

"As the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, I should plan ahead and improve my military capabilities so that I can firmly contain the neighboring countries in the future."

The ministers were very quiet, and they stared at Li Chengqian with burning eyes.

The prince's remarks today were very well made and his analysis made a lot of sense.

Li Chengqian paused, and his voice gradually became louder: "This time, father originally wanted to lead the army in person, but as the crown prince and a subject, how can I let father take risks on the battlefield?"

"Therefore, I petition Your Majesty and all the ministers to allow me to conquer Goguryeo on behalf of my father!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

He didn't get up for a long time.

"Clap clap~"

Changsun Wuji stood up and slapped the tablet vigorously.

"Well said, Prince!"

Changsun Wuji had an admiring look on his face and praised Li Chengqian generously.

This was the first time in all these years that the prince had said such deafening words.

"Your Highness, this is a very kind heart!"

Fang Xuanling also slapped his palms with his tablet.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety.

Li Chengqian's last two sentences were based on filial piety.

With the two big men taking the lead in expressing their opinions, the other court officials stood up one after another and complimented Li Chengqian, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very kind!"

Good guy!

How did Li Chengqian come up with such words?

This completely speaks to the hearts of Li Shimin and all the officials!

Even Du He had to look at Li Chengqian with new eyes.

Sitting in the first seat, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with mixed feelings, his heart filled with relief.

The child has grown up and knows how to worry about his father.

After expressing his emotion, Li Shimin frowned and fell into deep thought, his hands tightly gripping the armrests of the chair.

After dozens of breaths, he slowly stood up under the attention of the court officials.

"Your Highness is right. The ability to command troops is not innate, but needs to be tempered on the battlefield."

"Since the prince is willing to hone his ability to command troops and knows how to help me solve problems, how can I let him down?"

"I have decided that the Crown Prince will lead the army to conquer Goguryeo!"

With Li Shimin's final decision, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

What the hell!

Really let Li Chengqian take charge...

This kid finally accomplished something big.

Seeing Li Chengqian's face full of happy smiles, Du He's eyes were a little complicated.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The officials had different expressions and they all saluted Li Shimin.
