Chapter 1019 Li Daozong’s Son

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Wu King Li Ke was also a little confused. He originally thought that Fusang was his end, but now listening to his father's words, this might also be an opportunity.

"But... father... there are two generals as deputy generals this time. My son is just a benchmark. Can he really command the army?"

Hearing Wu Wang Li Ke call himself father, Li Shimin also rarely showed a smile on his face. Before, these people all called themselves father. Although they have high standards, they inevitably lack some family affection. Wu Wang Li Ke now also They really encountered difficulties. At this time, the two of them were no longer kings and ministers, but a real father and son.

"These two old guys are just holding it tight in the capital. Do you think this military exploit is still useful to them? They are already extremely human ministers, and both of them know that it is impossible to go further. They are just Just go out and evacuate. If you can show enough talent, who among them will compete with you? What's more, this time we go to Fuso to fight, we rely on our navy. The two towns still know it. Landlubber.”

Many people don't understand Li Shimin's arrangement. Even Li Chengqian and Li Xiang have to go back and think about it for a while, not to mention Wu Wang Li Ke. Although he has his own mother in the palace, he can't He often enters the palace.

As for the counselors under his command, it's okay to talk about romantic poetry, but if it comes to real national affairs, those guys will probably be pushed to the back. They are not that material at all.

"But my son is not good at water fighting either..."

Wu Wang Li Ge still had a question mark on his face. At this time, he felt that he was incompetent. In the past, he had laughed at his eldest and second brothers. He always felt that they were too far behind him, but now When I saw Li Shimin, I realized that I was just a little baby and didn't understand many things.

"The Goguryeo Navy was separated from the Dengzhou Navy. Everything was trained by your good nephew. The generals in it are also capable. You only need to assign them tasks in your tent. Don't you think so? Do you still need to personally lead people into battle to kill? When have you ever seen a prince go into battle to kill? If this is the case, then our country, the Tang Dynasty, will be in danger."

Li Shimin said angrily, King Wu Li Ke was also enlightened. Li Xiang was the first to lead the troops on the battlefield of Tuyuhun, and later on, wasn't he always strategizing in the rear? King Wu Li Ke also misunderstood this matter. He always thought that the commander in charge must lead his men to charge forward.

"Go back and make good preparations. I sent you some of the current situation of the navy. Go back and study it carefully. Don't dream of mastering this army, as long as it can be used by you for the time being."

When King Wu Li Ke came to his senses, Li Shimin left these words and said that he had already gone to the harem.

The little eunuch next to him is waiting here. After King Wu Li Ke comes back to his senses, the little eunuch will send King Wu out. The rules in the palace are very strict. Even if he is the emperor's son, he must have it before entering the harem. Records must be recorded, and a dedicated person must send them out.

When passing by the East Palace, King Wu Li Ke glanced in that direction, and quickly withdrew his gaze. If he looked for a long time, he would inevitably be seen by others, and these people would have all kinds of things. guess.

Li Xiang is going to Cheng Yaojin's house for a drink tonight. This has been decided a long time ago. Ordinarily, he should go to Changsun Wuji's place first, but Changsun Wuji has something to do tonight, so he goes to Cheng Yaojin's place first. .

The two brothers Cheng Chumo were also very depressed. They thought they could go to the front line of Goguryeo this time, but Cheng Yaojin went there himself, so the two brothers could not go.

Among the younger generation of generals, the one brought this time was Li Jingren, the son of Li Daozong.

Li Daozong was a general of the royal family. He also made great military exploits in his youth. In history, he even escorted Princess Wencheng into Tibet.

Now he is recuperating in Chang'an City due to physical reasons, but he still dragged his illness to see Li Shimin, hoping to give his second son a chance.

"Li Jingren is so weak. If you take him to fight in Goguryeo, you won't be able to give him medical treatment and medicine."

Speaking of this matter, Cheng Chuliang was full of dissatisfaction. There were too many people like him in Chang'an City, let alone going to the battlefield of Fusang. None of the two brothers went there, so the two of them were very angry. light.

"Shut up, no matter how it is a family dinner, you can't be so open-minded. Li Daozong was also a tiger general back then. Even if his son is useless, he is much better than the others. There is no room for you two. This is nonsense."

Cheng Yaojin had seen Li Daozong's ability. If there was anyone whom Cheng Yaojin could admire, then the military god Li Jing was the first, and the second was naturally Li Xiaogong.

Of course, in addition to these two, there is another half, and that half is the clan king Li Daozong.

During Li Shimin's last expedition to Goryeo, Li Daozong followed the army, but he did not perform any important tasks. After returning, he was infected with the cold and did not even go to the morning court most of the time. Fortunately, Chang'an City did not lack all kinds of things. Medicinal materials, this is how I persisted.

Because Li Daozong has been far away from the center of power early, although he still has the name of a county prince, the most indispensable thing in Chang'an City is this kind of princes. If they are the emperor's sons and grandsons, then they can still have them. There is a chance to show his face, but if he is the emperor's cousin, he will have the power in his hand, but he will fade out of the public eye early if he has no power.

Li Daozong no longer has much influence, let alone Li Jingren. Take the two brothers Cheng Chuliang as an example. Their reputations in Chang'an City are much stronger than Li Jingren's.

"This Li Jingren has never been in the army?"

Li Xiang said strangely, even if Li Shimin wanted to support Li Daozong, he couldn't send a scholar to the army. If that was the case, it would be a bit much.

"I haven't been in the army for a day, but this guy's own military skills are pretty good. He has always wanted to join the court as a civilian official, but unfortunately there are not many opportunities."

Cheng Chumo was also forced to study for a while back then. He and Li Jingren were classmates at the time, so he knew Li Jingren better. Unfortunately, he couldn't sit still and the college expelled him early...
