Chapter 862: [Datang Military Kingdom]
...
What kind of political reasons?
Of course, it is an unfriendly country, a country that is ready to attack. Marrying is also a double-sided suffering.
In that case, the royal family can stop it or control the princess. Free love is told to others, and parents can still control their children to find the wrong partner or have an early love, right? If they really love this prince, then they will be able to conquer the country, arrest the prince and marry him again.
So, what Li Chengqian mentioned is a slogan that is said to outsiders. If you can’t marry someone, there is still an internal solution.
This is the same as the Western countries in later generations. What about democratic countries? In fact, democracy is just an appearance, and it is still undemocratic in secret, and privileges still exist. The word democracy is just like the Confucianism of ancient China, as a tool for managing the people.
Well, I've said too much. Our socialism is the best, hehehe.
Three birds with one stone, and the stone will fly back and forth. Where can I find such a good thing? Will Lao Li refuse?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian felt at ease.
At this time, the military parade had ended and the exercise was over. Old Li spoke and returned to the palace to entertain everyone.
The team of people also fought back to the city.
On the way, Old Li really sent someone to ask Li Chengqian to enter his carriage as Li Chengqian thought. Li Chengqian coughed, and the one who was coming was coming, so he pulled the horse over.
Today, because I was going to come with Lao Li, Mr. Ma’s cub couldn’t come with him, which made Mr. Ma a little unhappy.
When I arrived in front of Lao Li's carriage, I didn't expect that Lao Huo Cheng also came.
He smiled at Li Chengqian and reached out to let Li Chengqian become more advanced.
After entering, I saw Lao Li’s smile on his face, and Li Xiaogong was sitting next to him.
The two seemed to be saying something happy and laughed so hard that they couldn't stop.
As soon as Li Chengqian came in, they turned their eyes to him, which was an admirable look.
What's wrong with this? Aren't you blamed me for saying it casually in my public speech just now?
"Sit down, Cheng Qian, sit down!" Old Li said affectionately.
The four of them sat around, and the smiles on Lao Li and Li Xiaogong's faces never stopped, making Li Chengqian increasingly confused. What were they happy!
"Today's exercise is very successful! I really never thought that the Gunpowder Bureau could invent and manufacture so many such powerful weapons. The Tang Dynasty had such weapons and would inevitably be invincible in the future. Today, those vassal states respected me more. Needless to say, Goguryeo never took me seriously before, and Tubo thought that he could make the conditions with me if he was fat. Today they didn't even dare to get angry. It was so exciting!"
Old Li said, looking at Li Chengqian.
Anyone can see that he is praising Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he realized that Lao Li wanted to praise him, rather than asking him to criticize the free love words he just said.
Since it is a praise, then accept it generously!
Li Chengqian sat upright and accepted his praise in an open and upright manner.
Li Xiaogong listened and also lit up. His appreciation for Li Chengqian became stronger and stronger in his eyes.
Old Man Cheng sat next to him, although he did not praise him. However, he was benefiting from Li Chengqian's glory. Old Li praised Li Chengqian, which was equivalent to praising him.
Lao Li changed his tone at this time and said, "This exercise can promote the power of the Tang Dynasty, strengthen our morale, and scare away the enemy! This is done, and we can do it next time!"
He asked Li Chengqian: "Look, come once every six months?"
Military exercises and military parades can not only be used to scare foreigners, but also to enable the Tang Dynasty's military and civilians to establish strong confidence, especially to make Lao Li look passionate. This is a lot of benefits. Of course, Lao Li wanted to carry it forward. That's why he asked Li Chengqian for this question.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't expect that Old Li was so anxious. It was once every six months, so this was too tight!
Think about the later generations, there was only one military parade on the National Day of the Tenth Year. There were only one military parade in other countries, and it was once a year. There were a little more in the past six months.
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said to Lao Li: "Father, what's the best idea! The military parade should be carried forward and maintained, and the image of our military country should be established, so that other countries will think of our military parade, and they will not dare to make bad ideas anymore. In this way, they can defeat others without fighting!"
Hearing Li Chengqian agree with him, Old Li smiled.
Li Chengqian also laughed and said, "Father, this military parade is such an important event, and it should be an anniversary, so that it can make it even more extraordinary. On a certain month and one day, everyone knows that this is the day of the military parade, which can be impressive."
"Oh, then what's up to today?" Old Li patted his knees and said.
Since today is a military parade, it is set directly on today, which is also a good memory!
Li Chengqian clasped his fists and said to Lao Li: "Father, I'm brave enough to say this! Today is just a temporary exercise, just to scare Goguryeo children. How can I use my 100-year plan for Goguryeo children? Moreover, this day is too casual. It would be meaningless for us to let the people of the Tang Dynasty and people all over the world remember a casual day! Therefore, I believe that this day must be particularly important and can last for generations!"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Lao Li, his eyes as hot as the Nazis looked at Hitler, and said, "My son believes that the birth of the father should be regarded as this date. We set it as the military day and also as the military parade day. This will not only make everyone in the world remember the father, but the father is behind the military parade. Soldiers will know that the person they want to be loyal to is the father because they remember this day. Thousands of years later, the emperors and the people at that time will also remember this day and remember the father!"
This made Lao Li almost float up.
Immediately, Old Li was stunned for a moment and said, "I was born on the Wuwu day of December 18th year of Kaihuang. But, only once this year?"
December Wuwu is December 22nd.
Of course, it only takes one time a year. Isn’t this the result that Li Chengqian wants?
Li Chengqian also showed surprise and said, "That's it, yes!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiaogong and Cheng Laohuo.
Li Xiaogong's eyes turned, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why not change to a military parade once a year!"
Mr. Cheng made a blind idea and said, "It's okay to have to do twice a year, it's better to use the birth of Emperor Gaozu."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and said, "It's not appropriate! Of course, the military parade takes about the same time. If it only takes one or two months to hold it, it will happen again. Not to mention that this waste of money and money, it will also be weakened a lot. Just imagine, something that can be praised once every three or two days. If everyone sees too much, what kind of vigilance is there in your heart? This has become a rice dish on the table every day! So, you should choose a day that can be in June!"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment and said, "This June seems to be a mistake I said. If you hold it too much, it will be bad. This..."
He looked at Lao Li in embarrassment.
A glimmer of light flashed in relief under Old Li's eyes, and he nodded at Li Chengqian.
He mistakenly thought that Li Chengqian was erecting a unique festival for him. There were two military parade days in a year, one was Li Shimin and the other was Li's father, Gaozu of Li. Li Shimin's glory was taken away. Although he was Lao Li's father, this day was spread to a hundred years later and a thousand years later. Such days were super important. Even if Lao Li respected his father, the Tang Dynasty put filial piety first, and Lao Li didn't want this day to be won by others.
So, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, he thought of taking over this day.
Although Li Chengqian said something else, he was saying that he could only give to Lao Li this day, and he could not give to others anymore.
This is protecting him! Lao Li was even more pleased with Li Chengqian.
At first, he wanted to book a military parade twice a year. Now when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he had changed. Just once, so he used his birthday as the anniversary of this day.
As for the second-hand man Cheng Cha Cha, Lao Li directly ignored it.
"Indeed, twice a year is a little longer, so others cannot underestimate his influence. So, it's better to set it once a year!" Lao Li expressed his opinion.
Old Man Cheng also said casually, but he would not refute after hearing Lao Li's decision.
Li Xiaogong naturally heard what Li Chengqian and Lao Li meant. He had never spoken. Now that Lao Li had made a decision, he immediately said:
"Okay, Military Day and Parade Day are the most meaningful day for His Majesty's birthday! Then we will hold it in December this year!"
This flattery is really good!
Old Li laughed at his face. However, in order not to have twice a year, he said: "No, this year was used this year, so he should wait for next year!"
"Father, today is just an unconventional exercise, not a straight military parade. Therefore, we should hold a real military parade in December this year. Starting this year, we will continue to handle December 22nd. We must set up laws. People in future generations cannot break this day!"
When Lao Li heard this, his eyes lit up again.
He originally thought he would have to wait for a year and a half before he could do it again, but he didn't expect he could do it again this year. This is really great.
"Okay, not bad, that's it!" Old Li slapped his palm and said.
He continued, "This matter has been decided. Now let's talk about the matter about Yuchi Gong having Liaocheng."
