Chang'an Lantian County Military Industrial Zone

"Your Highness, you want too many crossbows, but I don't have that many in my hands," Du Gou said with a troubled expression.

Li Chengqian looked at the bundle of crossbow arrows, reached out and took out one and inspected it carefully: "Brother Fumin, crossbow arrows have always been one of the necessary weapons for defending the city.

With the continuous innovation of equipment, the demand will also increase. I know that it is difficult for you, but it is not difficult for the brothers on the front line. The Minzhou defenders were not allowed to fight the enemy hand-to-hand because of the shortage of crossbows. In the end, the entire army

Martyred for our country. We fight on our own soil, and we always send troops to stay in the cities we conquer. This is where we are different from those nomads."

"Mobilize the people in nearby counties and ask them to make arrow shafts for a fee. One million arrows must be delivered within half a month."

"Promise, I'll get started." Then, accompanied by Du Gou, Li Chengqian inspected the equipment production situation in the military industrial zone. In terms of quantity, it was far from meeting the needs of the Tang army. But Li Chengqian believed that the total

One day this little seed will grow into a towering tree.

The words were divided into two parts. Li Chengqian was nervously preparing for war, but in the Shu Palace, Li Ke kept smashing things in the study. His chief historian, Quan Wanji, saw that this could not continue, so he hurriedly sent for Cen Wenwen.

By the time Cen Wenwen arrived, Li Ke had already smashed everything that could be smashed in the study, while he himself was sitting on the ground breathing heavily.

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" Cen Wenwen asked as he picked up the chair next to him and sat down.

"Teacher, why can Li Chengqian go on an expedition? Why can't he do it when I want to fight the Turks? He is just partial."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Cen Wenwen smiled, stood up and helped Li Ke up and said: "Your Highness, this is just a moment, and the Turks and Tuyuhun are not the same, and the prince's trip may not be smooth sailing.

Although I am a civil servant, I still know a little bit about military affairs since I followed His Majesty on errands. Fighting a war is not an easy task.

Especially when the enemy is outnumbered, Tuyuhun waits for work and gathers the city to defend it. Even if Qin Shubao and Hou Junji are famous generals in the world, so what. There is a huge disparity in strength. There are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the front line of Minzhou, and one is indispensable.

A bloody battle.

Minzhou is close to Longxi, and His Majesty will not let anyone go to the Li family ancestral hall to cause trouble. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, does His Highness only care about personal small profits? If this continues, the gap between you and the Crown Prince will only become wider and wider.

The further away.”

Cen Wenwen's words made Li Ke very embarrassed. He knew that his teacher was a national scholar, and in the teacher's mind, the interests of his father and the Tang Dynasty always came first.

"But teacher, are we still going to let Dong Gong succeed? In the past few years, we have repeatedly taken the overall situation into consideration, but what have we gained? As for Dong Gong, its power is growing day by day. Will there be anything that can be cured in a few years?"

"Your Highness, last time you helped His Majesty form an alliance with Tuli. After you returned to Beijing, didn't you gain the appreciation of the Youtun Guards and His Majesty? Isn't that enough?"

In Cen Wenwen's view, the gap between Li Ke and Li Chengqian is not very big, but Li Ke's overall outlook and mind are indeed much different.

Cen Wenwen's words hit the mark. After returning from the grassland, Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Ke changed a lot. Not only did he hand over the military power of Youtun Guard to him, but he also rewarded him with meals from the palace every now and then. This was the treatment of a legitimate son.

.In short, what Li Chengqian and Li Tai have, his Shu Palace will not be short of.

Cen Wenwen knew that this was the reason why the gap between the legitimate son and the concubine could never be resolved. If the emperor placed them at the same height, then the concubine would feel like Li Ke that he was still a little shorter than the legitimate son. Only by raising them a little higher than the legitimate son

, then these bastards will feel as high as they are.

"Your Highness, too much is too little."

"But teacher, don't you think your father has gone too far? Did your Majesty take care of Li Chengqian's "big favors" to important ministers without authorization? Did he take care of it when he secretly changed the uniforms of the Sixth Army and increased military pay?

During my father's northern tour, he took advantage of the natural disaster to buy people's hearts and blockade Guanzhong. How many people joined him, but as for my father, he just got angry in Luoyang. If this continues, wouldn't there be two masters in the sky? Father

Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble with your elbows and armpits? The incident with King Zhao Wuling is not far away, isn't it?"

Li Ke became more and more excited as he spoke, but Cen Wenwen frowned frequently after hearing this. Li Ke was jealous, but after all, Li Chengqian was the crown prince chosen by the emperor himself. So what if you are jealous.

"Is this what His Highness thinks about every day in the palace? Why His Highness still can't understand why many of the things the Prince does are deviant, but that thing is unreasonable. How wise and powerful Your Majesty is

, doesn’t he know what the prince did?

No, there is only one result, and that is that everything he did was authorized by His Majesty, and even if he did something wrong, it was still right."

"The locust plague in Guanzhong has been clearly seen by the Minister. Rong Chen, to say it disrespectfully, even His Majesty is just like this. You, Your Highness, don't have the kind of vigorous and resolute administrative methods."

Li Ke admitted that what Cen Wenwen said was all right, but he was unwilling to admit that he was worse than Li Chengqian, and then said harshly: "The teacher's evaluation of him is too high."

After hearing what he said, Cen Wenwen shook his head: "Your Highness, you have never seen how the prince supervises the country. Changsun Wuji is indeed a genius.

In just a few years, a weak prince has been trained to be so powerful. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, why can't we work hard to become stronger?"

"Excuse me for being stupid, student. What else can I do now? Please teach me, sir."

Cen Wenwen smiled: "Tuyuhun is not a disease of scabies, but Turks are a disease of the elbows and armpits. In my opinion, His Majesty's patience with Jieli has only been for a couple of years. The Northern Expedition to Turks is the opportunity for Your Highness to truly make achievements. At the same time, he also

Wouldn't it be nice to cultivate a large number of civil and military personnel in the army?

If you don’t believe it, Your Highness, just look at it. In less than three years, these civil and military officials from the Northern Expedition to the Turks will surpass His Majesty’s old ministers from the Wude period.”

Of course Li Ke wanted to cultivate his own power in the army. Although Chai Shao and the others also supported him, they could not use it for their own purposes. Just look at his father and you will know. Without the generals from the Qin Palace, how could they defeat Prince Yin?

Woolen cloth.

"But teacher, won't the prince go?"

"Your Highness, this is different from the battle of Tuyuhun. If we fight Jieli, it will be a big war, a national war. No matter how big the prince's appetite is, he can't eat such a big cow. Then your highness will have a lot to do.
