In the eighth year of Zhenguan, on July 13th, it was drizzling continuously in Chang'an City, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be suppressed. The depressed people could not even breathe. Li Chengqian sat in the Chengqing Palace with his eyes closed and meditated. The emperor was because of the wind.

The disease was so severe that he couldn't see things clearly, so this heavy burden of ten thousand kilograms had to be added to him.

But this year is destined not to be a calm year. There was a solar eclipse in May, and Li Chunfeng said that there would be a bad omen for the country, making everyone in the court panic. In Li Chengqian's opinion, this was a normal celestial phenomenon.

, but the earthquake in Longyou blocked his mouth tightly.

Sitting in the hall, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Li Ke, Li Tai and others all had sad faces. The memorials coming today are about natural disasters, military disasters, internal and external troubles, this concern.

If you go to the east end, you can't care about the west end.

The most important thing is that without the emperor's imperial edict, no one in the Sixteenth Guards Army can mobilize. Hou Junji and Li Daliang have already fought very hard. If they don't send troops, they will not be able to defend it.

At this moment, Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang, who had gone to Cuiwei Mountain to request an edict, walked quickly in front of everyone. They immediately took out the imperial edict from their sleeves and said: "I have been ill for a long time, and I can't think of all the opportunities in one day.

The Crown Prince Li Chengqian is ordered to carry the seal and ascend to the Chengqing Palace to handle the affairs of the common people, assist the army and supervise the country. All matters reported by the Hundred Divisions are to be decided by the Crown Prince. Announcement will be made to the world, and the envoys will hear about it."

After Wei Zheng finished reading the imperial edict, Chu Suiliang, who was holding the jade seal, stepped forward and presented the jade seal with both hands, which made Li Chengqian extremely at a loss.

So he asked with a dark face: "Xiang Wei, I asked you to ask for military orders. Look, what did you do? Did my father misunderstand me?"

"Your Highness is overly worried, but I didn't say anything. This decree was given directly by Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that in the past, when Your Highness was supervising the country, there were often constraints in some places, but no one dared to block it with the temporary seal.

It is up to His Highness to do whatever he wants."

After Wei Zheng finished what he said, all the ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. The prince's governance has always been stable. If the emperor can delegate power to this point today, the government will not be in chaos. It is a blessing to the country.

"Your Highness, you have always acted vigorously and resolutely. Why are you so cautious today? Since it is His Majesty's decree, you should obey it!"

As the leader of the military, Du Ruhui stood up and spoke appropriately to express the attitude of the army. In the past, when Li Chengqian was supervising the country, Du Ruhui controlled all military deployments, and then directly invited the emperor.

Nonsense, can you not be cautious? In the past, when I was young, no matter what I did, the emperor would think that he was childish and had nothing to worry about. But it is different now. He is an adult and is about to get married, so he has to pay attention to everything.

Damn it, when this matter is over, we must quickly find Sun Simiao to find a way to cure the emperor's old problem.

"Okay, the next thing I'm going to do is, Mr. Chu, put the jade seal on the case. How tiring it is to hold it up." After speaking, Li Chengqian stood up and walked to the map, hugging his arms and staring at the boundaries of Tuyuhun.

"Your Highness, to the east of Mount Wei, south of the Yellow River and the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, heavy rains have caused disasters and floods. "There are huge floods between Shandong, Henan, Huaihe and the sea", including the Dongwang Cave and Xiwang Cave in Gongzhou.

Fan ethnic rebellion.

The country is already in chaos, and it is too late to provide relief for the famine. How can we still provide so much military supplies and food?" Cen Wenwen has always been praised for his overall view. One-third of the country is already in chaos, and he doesn't care.

It’s time for Li Ke and his little thoughts.

The memorials from each state were handed over by him. It was already a Qianli Ze country. If we mobilized troops now, the country would be unable to make ends meet, and the achievements of the past few years would be in vain.

"Your Highness, what Cen Zhongshu said is that if you can do this without using weapons, don't use weapons. I think it is best to send envoys to appease them. After we have settled the domestic disasters, we can deal with them next year." Who doesn't know the prince?

Like his father, he is a master who rejoices in war, but now is really not the time.

Hearing what the two said, Li Chengqian turned around in front of the map and asked calmly: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister Du, what are your opinions?"

"This time Tuyuhun invaded the country, it must be because Tubo was in trouble with the climate. Its purpose was just to test the bottom line of our government. I believe that the earthquake in Longyou is where their confidence lies..."

Fang Xuanling is right. Historically, the Central Plains dynasties have pursued the national policy of settling domestic affairs first before resisting foreign aggression. They would never easily go to war without cleaning up the house at home.

Tuyuhun and Tubo wanted to take advantage of the disease in the Tang Dynasty to kill the Tang Dynasty and completely restore the land that Tuyuhun lost in the previous war.

"Your Highness, I believe that this war is the right one. As the saying goes, there is no destruction without establishment. It is precisely because there are natural disasters everywhere. Therefore, in order to boost the people's morale and morale, our government must severely attack Tuyuhun's arrogance so that they will no longer dare to peek into the Central Plains.",

Du Ruhui slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table and said through gritted teeth.

Hahaha... After listening to Du Ruhui's words, Li Chengqian laughed heartily. He wanted to get this bone just like the Prime Minister of Military Affairs. "Everyone, I know that you are all loyal ministers of the imperial court, and all your thoughts and concerns are.

For the country and the people.

But Tuyuhun’s habit of taking advantage of others’ misfortunes cannot be tolerated. After such a start, who can guarantee whether the surrounding foreign countries will cause trouble? Don’t be afraid of breaking these pots and jars. If they are broken, we can rebuild them again.”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian took out the token and handed it to Changsun Wuji: "In order to express the unity of the army and the people of the Tang Dynasty, I decided to spend all the treasury of the East Palace to support the military and civilian needs.

In addition, recover all the money that was allocated to the palace in the past few days and transfer it to the household department, housing minister, and uncle. You two will be responsible for this matter."

Hiss, when the prince said this, all the ministers in the palace took a breath of air. Who didn't know that the prince usually lived a simple life and had an industrial zone, so the money in his hands was an astronomical figure. In this way,

The money for the Western Expedition has already been secured, and there is no need to worry about those miserable people anymore.

Since there is no need to collect so much military expenditure, a fight is not a big deal. Wei Zheng and Cen Wenwen also looked at each other and stopped talking.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said that he could touch any money, but not the money saved in the palace. Then he handed over his hand and said: "Your Highness, then, that is the money that Your Majesty approved for your wedding.

The prince's wedding is a national ceremony, so this will delay the auspicious time chosen by the Imperial Palace. Besides, the Crown Princess Dugu is gentle, dignified, quiet and fragrant, how can you face her by doing this?"

The household department was under the control of the eldest son, Sun Wuji. No one knew the whereabouts of every money better than him. After hearing his reply, everyone stood up and tried to persuade the prince. Without such a thing, the Tang Dynasty was not so poor as to use the crown prince to make money.

The wedding money is used to fight wars and provide disaster relief.

"Okay, no need to say any more, just do what Gu said. It is not easy to be the Crown Princess of the Tang Dynasty. She should have known this the day she received the imperial edict. In addition, let's put Duke Dai and Duke E into the palace.
Chapter completed!
