Clang.

The blue light sword that was ready to go in Li Tai's hands seemed to have been abandoned by his master, and fell to the ground powerlessly and helplessly.

Li Tai's face was dark: "Thank you for your advice from the emperor brother, Qingque has received the teachings."

A huge shame spread throughout his body, making him tremble all over.

Just as he was about to accept the humiliation, he found that Li Mu had bent down, picked up the blue light sword that had fallen to the ground, and handed it over very seriously.

"Get it!"

"Emperor, brother?"

Li Mu said lightly: "You just lost your sword heart? Have you lost your determination to be enterprising?"

Li Tai opened his mouth: "But-"

"Nothing but!"

Li Mu stretched out his hand again, touched the fat man's head, and smiled and said, "Uncle knew it, Qingque has grown up and is determined to compete for his ambition."

As soon as this statement came out, the martial arts performance venue was even quieter than just now.

Li Shimin looked awkward, and the famous generals also looked strange.

This is the case. These old fried dough sticks can see clearly and understand. But if they say it out loud, the taste will change.

It's like it's on the table!

Li Tai's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer remain calm. He hurriedly explained: "How could the emperor brother say such a heart-killing word? I have no such thoughts--"

Li Mu waved his hand, interrupted Li Tai's defense, and said, "Qingque, how can a man be without ambition in his life? If you have such a thought, I don't blame you, but I'm happy. If you are a coward, I will look down on you."

"Take your sword and practice well. I look forward to the day when you surpass me. If you can prove that you have the ability to replace me, I don't mind giving up the position of prince."

"There are those who can live in this world!"

"Brother..." Li Tai couldn't speak, his mind was revealed, and he was mixed with feelings at this moment.

Li Shimin laughed loudly, stood up and said to the famous generals beside him, "Everyone, how about it, can my son's heart be inclusive of the rivers and seas?"

The generals stood up and said, "The prince not only has the appearance of a genius, but also has a rare ability to tolerate others. It is actually the blessing of Your Majesty and the blessing of the country!"

Li Mu bowed and said, "You are wrong, Cheng Qian dared not take it, he just said what he thought."

Li Shimin stood up and walked over, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think about it randomly. You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. This is an unchangeable fact." He looked at Li Tai, who was lost and thought to himself, although this child was smart and talented, there was still a big gap compared to his eldest son. After thinking about it, he comforted him, "Qingque, don't be discouraged. Learn more from your royal brother, learn humbly, and learn the future without limit."

Li Tai squeezed out a smile and said, "My son is obedient."

"Okay, this is the end of the school entrance exam today." Li Shimin looked at the princes and said, "You all go back and don't slack off."

The children of all the princes, including Li Tai, bowed and bowed and then left.

Li Mu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin: "Zhengqian stays."

Li Mu had no choice but to stand firm. When Li Tai heard the voice, he looked back, full of envy and jealousy.

Li Shimin waved, and the eunuchs brought the table, and all kinds of fruits, snacks, and jerky were brought up. The brothers present were all the life and death who fought on the battlefield together. There were not so many rules. Compared to the court discussion, Li Shimin prefers this kind of eating and drinking atmosphere.

The generals knew it in their minds that the emperor said most of the topics about war. Without those literary officials involved in the mix, it would be more comfortable to chat.

But before, there would be no prince attending such a meeting.

But today, Li Shimin left Li Chengqian behind, which was tantamount to a signal.

Li Mu, who inherited Li Chengqian's memory, knew this very well. He could feel the desire to attend the meeting in his remaining memories. It seems that Li Chengqian in this world, like Li Chengqian in history, yearns for the battlefield of gold and iron horses.

But Li Mu didn't yearn for it. He just wanted to lie down and live his life comfortably.

So he made up his mind to be a cute little cutie who eats quietly and never speaks.

"...Qu Wentai, Gaochang, came to Chang'an in the fourth year of Zhenguan, presented treasures to me, promising to submit allegiance." Li Shimin drank a sip of wine, pulled the collar, missing three points of being the emperor, and seven points of being the unruly general, cursing: "I believe him, but this person is not a thing. Not long after, he relied on the Western Turks and set up checkpoints to prevent the Western Regions from entering our Tang Dynasty through their borders. What's more, he also sent troops to harass Yiwu, Yanqi and other countries. Envoys from various countries asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops one after another."

"They respect me as the Khan of Heaven, and we must not ignore this matter! If we don't care, there will be no peace in the Western Regions!" Li Shimin bit his lamb's leg and said hatefully: "I have made up my mind to send troops to slaughter this beast soon, and to restore peace to the countries in the Western Regions. Who would be the commander and lead the army to the expedition?"

Before he finished speaking, a rough voice sounded: "I, Lao Cheng, would!"

Cheng Yaojin spit out the hoofs from his mouth, wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me go. Don't worry, as long as I give me 30,000 elite soldiers, within half a year, I will surely pacify Gaochang and capture Ju Wentai alive!"

Bragging!

There was obviously no one talking, but Li Mu seemed to hear someone say these three words. He glanced at Li Shimin and the famous generals around him in a daze, wondering, could I have been hallucinating?

Li Shimin laughed dryly and said, "Your beloved guards the imperial city, and you are responsible for your interests. Although I really want you to be in charge, why should you be the one who loves you in Chang'an all day!"

Li Shimin set the tone, and others also spoke out, all of whom were persuading Cheng Yaojin, and the general intention was the same. You are so awesome, so it’s better to guard the imperial city. Just Gaochang, you will destroy anyone, and you won’t have to do anything.

Li Mu heard it, no one believed in the process. No matter how he fought for it or cheated, he was ruthlessly rejected by Li Shimin.

He had no choice but to give up, walked back to his seat in disappointment, and used his innocent hoof to relieve his anger.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the topic back, and said, "Then, besides Cheng Aiqing, is there anyone else who volunteered?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on the three people.

First, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the war god Li Jing led his army to defeat the Eastern Turks and avenged the Weishui Alliance for Li Shimin, and his reputation was at its peak. However, because of his great contributions, Li Jing was worried that his achievements would be overwhelming, so after that, Li Jing took the initiative to hand over military power, thinking that he was less involved in the affairs of the court. However, his ability is obvious to all. If he were the commander, this battle could be decided.

Second, General Li Ji. Li Ji was the governor of Bingzhou. Since the Wude period, he has been stationed in Bingzhou for 16 years and can be called the "Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty". He rarely lost his battles with others. When he defeated the Eastern Turks, he also participated. After Li Jing retreated to the second line, Li Ji became the number one in the army.

The last one is the general Hou Junji. Compared with the previous two, Hou Junji is not famous and has never fought many major battles. However, he has followed Li Shimin since joining the army and served as the guard general. He is considered to be Li Shimin's confidant. When he learned that Li Jing's intention of retreating was firm, Li Shimin also specially ordered him to teach Hou Junji's military strategy. Everyone knows the meaning of cultivation. Most of the people who chose Hou Junji were speculating on the superior intention and wanted to be a favor. Moreover, before the New Year, he broke through the Majestic Scene and entered the realm of military courage, and was therefore awarded the title of General. It was at its peak that Li Shimin chose him to take charge of the war.

After all, Xiao Gaochang can win if you send a dog to be the boss, and it will be the same for anyone to go.

Among the people, only one looked at Li Mu, who was just lying on eating.

This person was the uncle of the dynasty, Li Shimin's brother-in-law, Li Chengqian's uncle, who was personally recognized by Li Shimin as the "first of the Dragon" and the eldest son of Duke Zhao, Wuji.

Logically speaking, Changsun Wuji should be considered a civil servant, but he has been with Li Shimin since he was a child. As a military officer, he followed Li Shimin to fight in all directions, so he is very familiar with the military generals. At the same time, Li Shimin was used to asking him about his opinions in everything, so he was also there when he was discussing sending troops.

Everyone said and said everything, and recommended the candidates in their hearts. Li Jing refused without surprise, but Li Ji did not refuse, but he did not act very positively, just saying that if His Majesty issued an order, he would be willing to obey.

Only Hou Junji showed his loyalty and willingness to lead his army to pacify Gaochang and demonstrate the power of the Tang Dynasty.

After listening to everyone's words patiently, Li Shimin did not express his opinion, but turned his attention to Li Mu.

With a little intention of taking the school exam, he asked, "Chengqian, what do you mean?"

Li Mu, who was having fun eating, was stunned when he heard this, and then put down the pig's trotter in his hand and said without hesitation: "My son thinks that General Hou is the best choice."

"Oh? Why isn't Li Aiqing?" Li Shimin was quite surprised. Although he also wanted Hou Junji, Li Mu made a choice without any consideration, which made him very curious about what the reason for Li Mu's choice was. After all, from the perspective of conditions, Li Ji was obviously more experienced and more competitive.

Li Mu stood up, bowed to the two generals, and said, "The opponent of this battle is Gaochang Kingdom. Just now, my father had already stated that Ju Wentai's unjust behavior was not a day or two, but a long time ago. My father's dissatisfaction with him was not a day or two, but had already begun to prepare and wait for the opportunity."

"My father was General Tiance, and his ability to lead the army and fight was unparalleled in the world. Since Mr. Emperor was determined to fight, he would win this battle. No matter who will lead the army, the ending will be the same. So it doesn't matter who chooses it. I think the reason why General Hou is more suitable is that Bingzhou is a barrier to the Tang Dynasty, and he is guarding against the Xueyantuo tribes in the north. Compared with Gaochang, Xueyantuo tribes and other tribes. If General Li is transferred, I'm afraid that Xueyantuo tribes and other tribes will have abnormal movements. Therefore, I think General Hou is more suitable."

All these are nonsense. The real situation is that Li Mu has studied the history of middle school and knows that this battle was fought by Hou Junji, so he will definitely not be wrong.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "My son knows my intention!" After that, he looked at the generals and said, "My son's words are what I think, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, whoever can sing the opposite tune is said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Prince is wise!"

"Okay, that's it." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Wu Junji heard the title of the title. I ordered you to be the chief general of the Jiaohe River marching for Hou Junji, and to prepare the troops and food for the Ministry of War, and to choose a day to lead the army to attack Gaochang!"

Hou Junji was overjoyed and said, "I will accept the order!"
Chapter completed!
