Chapter 32 Li Chengqian's Self-Defense
(Work hard to cheer!)
Looking at the angry Li Shimin, Li Chengqian could laugh out loud. The first impression that all the civil and military officials in the court was that the prince was crazy.
On this side, Li Shimin looked at the prince who not only did not apologize but also smiled slightly, and even shouted angrily: "Li Chengqian, you rebellious son!"
Before Li Shimin finished scolding, Li Chengqian bowed calmly at this time and said, "Father, please be careful not to be impatient. Can you give me a chance to defend myself?"
"What else do you have to say?" Li Shimin looked coldly at Li Chengqian standing in the court.
At this time, Li Chengqian bowed calmly and said, "Father, my son is wronged. The reason why my son has not attended class and has been in charge of the general is actually because he wants to help his father."
"Do you want to help me?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some disbelief.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Yesterday morning, my father looked at the horse policy theory of several of us and was very disappointed. My son could see the expression of regret in his father's eyes.
Although the father asked us to leave in the end, the younger brothers returned home happily and soon forgot all of this.
But the son minister is not good. The son minister is the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. The son minister cannot forget it if he scolds him like his younger brothers. If the father has troubles, the son minister must help the father solve his troubles."
"Hmph, it's good, but these are all excuses for you to skip school." Li Shimin's anger gradually faded a lot because of Li Chengqian's sincere performance. After all, Li Chengqian was the legitimate son of him and Empress Changsun, and his blood was thicker than water.
"Oh, I wonder if the prince brother has helped the father solve his troubles. I also don't understand a little bit. Why did the prince brother help the father solve his troubles and solve them in prison?"
Li Tai jumped out again and focused his attention on the generals who were not good for Li Chengqian.
The Tang Dynasty had class, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, as the prince, but they went to the generals to run away. This was an insult to their identity. If Li Tai grasped this tightly, he could easily arouse Li Shimin's displeasure towards Li Chengqian.
"Yes!" Li Shimin, who was a little relieved, was angry again: "Why do you want to be a prisoner? What can you help me with Ma Zheng's affairs?
Tell me, do you just said lies to me?”
Looking at Li Shimin who was once again provoked by his own brother, Li Chengqian was really unhappy with Li Tai. However, he was not angry, but smiled again and said, "Whoever says he will be the chief of the father can not share his worries for the father. I hope that the father can let someone take Erchen's mount up. As long as Erchen's mount is led up, everything will be revealed."
"Bold!" Li Ke flashed out from the side: "Your Highness, this is the Tai Chi Palace Hall, which is the place where all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty handle major affairs in the world. It is very disrespectful to want a beast to come here!"
Li Chengqian seemed to have known that someone would talk about this, so he heard Li Chengqian look at Li Ke with a smile and said, "Brother Ke, I don't agree with what you said. The war horse is not a beast. It is the brother of all cavalry and generals. On the battlefield, if you regard your brothers and comrades as beasts, then you are a beast."
"You actually insulted me!" Li Ke was furious.
Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Brother Ke, just discuss the matter, I didn't scold you!" After saying that, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the military generals around him and asked, "All the generals, do you think what I said is right?"
"Of course it's right!" Cheng Yaojin said without hesitation: "Who dares to say that the war horses of Lao Capital are beasts, Lao Capital will give him a heart-warming spear."
"Haha, what Mr. Cheng said this time is right. My Yuchi Gong's war horse is my brother. If it weren't for these brothers, I, Yuchi Gong, wouldn't have died many times. Who would have dared to say that they were beasts?
Humph, don't say it in front of me, otherwise I will be unable to control my beating him."
After Yuchi Gong finished speaking, Li Ke was so scared that he subconsciously hid for a moment. Why is it because Yuchi Gong is the one who does what he says? After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the heroes under his command became a little arrogant, especially Yuchi Gong was the most overdoing. He not only fought bravely, but also saved Li Shimin's life, especially in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Later, when Yuchi Gong saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, he was a little disdainful, thinking that they were all people who could only write words. When it comes to leading troops to fight, they still had to test generals like themselves.
Once, Li Shimin invited a banquet for ministers. It was a very festive banquet, but after Yuchi Gong found his seat, he found that there was a person who was placed above him, and he happened to be a literary man he looked down upon.
At this time, Yuchi Gong pointed at the man and said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to sit in my upper position? You are not worthy at all!" The quarrel made the scene suddenly awkward. At this time, Li Daozong stood up. As a good man, he wanted to smooth things over.
Li Daozong said: "Everyone is an official in the same court, there is no need to compete for a while. Moreover, when quarreling on such a festive day, he is sad and harmonious." Before Li Daozong finished speaking, he was punched by Yuchi Gong.
As a military general, Yuchi Gong must be very strong. His punch almost blinded Li Daozong's eyes. When everyone saw this scene, they immediately came to watch and persuade him. After seeing Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, he was not in the mood to hold a banquet, so he left.
Who is Li Daozong? A general in the early Tang Dynasty? Strictly counting that he was Li Yuan's cousin and a cousin with Li Shimin. Li Daozong participated in many battles in his life, defeating Liu Wuzhou, defeating Wang Shichong, destroying Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and expeditioning Goguryeo.
Yuchi Gong, a slut, dared to beat Li Daozong, let alone Li Ke, so Li Ke didn't want to be punched.
"Don't say it anymore!"
Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and said, "Forget it, other horses, war horses are not considered beasts. Come and bring me the prince's mount. I want to see what the truth is revealed."
After about a stick of incense, Li Chengqian's mount was led to the Tai Chi Palace Hall.
As soon as they came up, the civil servants and military generals were attracted by the sound of "stepping" and "stepping" metal hitting the ground. After looking at Li Chengqian's mount, they found something strange on Li Chengqian's mount.
In addition to the horse's reins, there is also a place to sit on the horse's back, and two iron things hanging down on both sides of the horse.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to be confused. He ran to Li Chengqian's mount, pointed to the saddle and stirrup on Li Chengqian's mount and said, "Your Highness, Prince, what are you, what are these two? Why haven't you seen them before?"
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Duke Lu, I know my father is going to attack Tuyuhun, so I racked my brains to come up with two items that could enhance my Tang cavalry.
Please see these two things, saddle and stirrup!"
"Sad and Stirrup!" Other generals also stood up and came to Li Chengqian's mount, looking at Li Chengqian's stirrup and saddle together.
Even Li Shimin was curious when he sat on the dragon throne.
"Can these two strange things be able to strengthen the strength of our Tang cavalry?" Li Tai said with a contempt: "I think the prince's brother is deliberately waived his crime?"
