Chapter 864 I want to conquer in person!

In the 20th year of Zhenguan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, after witnessing the development of the Tang Dynasty from its initial establishment to a prosperous age step by step.

He passed away in Lijiazhuang outside Chang'an City with a smile on his face at the age of eighty!

His temple name is Gaozu and his posthumous title is Emperor Taiwu.

In October of the same year, Emperor Gaozu was buried in Xianling, and Queen Taimu's nephew Dou was buried.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was so distraught that the whole country mourned.

However, fortunately, the Supreme Emperor has decreed that marriages across the country must not be delayed just because of him!

There was not much turmoil in the Tang Dynasty.

However, with the death of the Supreme Emperor, the King of Han Li Yuanchang was extremely frightened. After the Supreme Emperor was buried, he immediately ran back to his fiefdom and immediately fell ill. Several famous doctors went to treat him, but there was no improvement!

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian, who had become the governor of Zhengzhou, simply smiled.

"Why is Uncle Wang so scared?"

Wang Xuance, the governor of Zhengzhou, smiled coldly, "I have offended my master and also offended the governor. The king of Han has been worried for so many years. Now that the emperor who can protect him has passed away, how can he not be afraid?"

"Hmph, the Supreme Emperor has just passed away, why is this governor so anxious? Uncle Han still wants to be so miserable!"

Li Chengqian smiled lightly, picked up the document in his hand and read it.

"Xuance, how long does it take to get from Zhengzhou to Haizhou Cement Avenue?"

"Back to the Governor, the cement road has been repaired outside Haizhou City. It will be repaired in two days!"

"Very good! In this way, our Datang Dynasty will build another shipyard in Haizhou, and our Datang Navy will save a few days of effort when going to Nanyang!"

"Qingzhou Shipyard now has 5,000 craftsmen and 26 docks. It is already a bit crowded. It is time to build another shipyard!"

"That's right, the big thief country turned out to be very aggressive towards me in the Tang Dynasty. Uncle Wang of Hejian led 20,000 navy troops and captured two big thief countries directly on the sea. This made the big thief country terrified all day long and had trouble sleeping and eating.

!”

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi and others all looked proud.

With the rapid development of Datang in recent years, Datang caravans have also traveled all over the world.

Now, even ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty know that in the entire world, only the Dashi Country in the far west can be considered a big country.

But it is only a big country, and it does not pose any threat to the current Tang Dynasty.

At least, the great food country in the far west could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty could attack the great food country by sea and land.

Of course, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others have now become the feudal officials of the Tang Dynasty!

As early as five years ago, Li Chengqian was granted the title of Grand Governor of Zhengzhou, overseeing the military affairs of Zheng, Bian, Xu, Shang, Song, Xu, Chen, Hai and other nine states. And Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong, Du Gou and others,

He was named the governor of Zhengzhou, the governor of Haizhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and the governor of Chenzhou. He was regarded as Li Chengqian's team of civil servants.

Yuchi Baolin, Li Xiaogong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others also began to lead their own troops.

Li Chengqian has worshiped his father since he was a child, so the situation of his team is similar to that of Li Shimin when he was the King of Qin.

However, compared with the troops, generals, and civil servants he controlled, Li Chengqian was like a housekeeper, while Li Shimin was the King of Qin who controlled half of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Chengqian's real situation is much better than Li Shimin's original situation.

At least, the current emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how the other two legitimate sons behaved, his idea of ​​​​letting the crown prince Li Chengqian succeed has never changed. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty fell from the top, and most of the civil servants and generals had no regard for Li Chengqian, the Tang Dynasty emperor.

The prince was also very satisfied.

As long as the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, dies, Li Chengqian can successfully succeed to the throne.

And Li Chengqian had no idea of ​​usurping the throne in advance.

Just when Li Chengqian was chatting with Wang Xuance while handling the affairs of these states.

An internal servant trotted in from outside and said to Li Chengqian hastily.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict for the Governor of Zhengzhou, Li Chengqian, to return to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty summoned this governor?"

Li Chengqian was shocked. He had seen the chamberlain in front of him several times. He was an chamberlain who served the saint in Liangyi Hall.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty asks you to put down your affairs and set off back as soon as possible!"

The chamberlain quickly saluted again and reported carefully.

"I just returned to Zhengzhou from Chang'an a month ago. Do you know why the saint is so anxious?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"Back to Your Highness, I really don't know, but it seems to be related to the Great Food Country!" the chamberlain quickly replied.

"Big food?"

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, then turned around and gave instructions to the chamberlain beside him.

"You go down and rest for a while. I will give you instructions before I go with you."

Hearing this, the waiter quickly left.

"Let you handle these matters for me first. I will go to Chang'an today!" Li Chengqian ordered Wang Xuance.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Xuance slightly bowed his hands.

Li Chengqian nodded with confidence, "I think this time, the Tang Dynasty may be conquering Dashi again. This time I will definitely compete for the position of general manager of the army!"

"In this case, Xuance will first congratulate the governor for getting his wish!"

Wang Xuance was also overjoyed. He had not faced a large army for many years.

If Li Chengqian becomes the general manager of the army that conquers the Great Food, he will definitely be able to accompany the army on the expedition.

"However, on the way back this time, I also ask the Governor to bring along the Musketeers Battalion and 300 personal guards!"

"The saint ordered me to go back this time, so I don't need to bring so many personal guards, right?" Li Chengqian said hesitantly.

"Your Highness, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. Cheng Chusi, Chang Sun Chong and others have entrusted your Highness's safety to me, and we will never let any accident happen to Your Highness!"

Wang Xuance looked solemn.

"That's it, I'll take it with me!"

Li Chengqian sighed softly and shouted toward the door: "Li Fu, order the Musketeers Battalion and personal guards to assemble and follow me back to Chang'an!"

"Yes, Grand Governor!"

There was a reply from outside the door, and immediately there was a commotion in the entire Zhengzhou Governor's Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Chengqian sat on a carriage, escorted by 300 personal guards and 500 musket battalion soldiers, and quickly headed to Chang'an.

The journey was uneventful.

Three days later.

Li Chengqian hurriedly walked into Liangyi Hall,

"My son, please see your father!"

"Gao Ming is back? Get up quickly!"

Li Shimin was obviously very happy to see Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian straightened up and asked Li Shimin.

"I wonder what the important thing is for Aye to recall his son and ministers like this?"

"I have decided to personally conquer Dashi and let you supervise the country!"

Li Shimin said directly.

"Father wants to conquer in person?"

Li Chengqian was shocked and a little unbelievable. This was completely contrary to what he thought!

"Father, I wonder what evil deeds that great thief country has done to make my father so furious?"

"The great thieves country dared not listen to the truce edict of the Great Tang Dynasty and brought a large army to occupy the Persian capital of Ctesiphon! Moreover, it dared not to pay tribute to the Great Tang Dynasty. As a country that refuses to accept the civilized barbarians, the only choice is to beat it severely.

A good meal will make it obedient!"

Seeing Li Shimin's angry expression, Li Chengqian felt helpless for a while.

After working together in the officialdom for so many years, he could tell at a glance that his father had no anger at all. He even suspected that his father was addicted to war and wanted to lead an army to fight!

However, seeing that there was only one big country like Dashi left in the world that could compete with the Tang Dynasty, he, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, also wanted to lead troops to fight!

"It's just a small barbarian country that is eating a lot. How can it be worth it that my father, the Khan of Heaven, personally leads an army to conquer it? Please ask my father to give me an army of 50,000, so that I can teach the king who eats a lot to come to the Tang Dynasty in person and fight against it.

Father, please forgive me!"

Um?

Li Shimin seemed to feel something. After staring at Li Chengqian for a while, he glared with an angry expression.
