Chapter 682 Coping (1)
Li Chengqian didn't care about how the Tubo people selected seven entourages, because on that night, the winning plan of the "Seventh Group" was mainly attacked, the auxiliary of the "Furious" squadron, and the "Urban Management Brigade" of Jingzhao Prefecture had already been launched.
During the day, the Tubo people were already in charge. If seven entourages were not selected to leave the inn by night, then death would be considered as the Tubo envoy was unlucky.
At the same time as the killing began, Li Chengqian sat in the old man's study, holding the big teapot that once belonged to him, and looked around.
"Now it's rumored that you have a treasure of the immortal family in your hand. What's it? Take it out and show me?" Li Er finished the last memorial, put down his pen, and stared at Li Chengqian and asked.
"Immortal Baby?" Li Chengqian turned his head in confusion and focused on the old man: "Father, what is the Immortal Baby?"
"Huh?" Looking at Li Chengqian's expression that was not fake, Li Er was also stunned and began to wonder if he had heard it wrong.
But soon Li Er settled down and tapped his fingers on the table: "It's the one who made a loud noise and then killed the person."
Taping the desktop with a finger is Li Er's habitual action to think about the problem. Once he makes this action when he chats with someone, it means that he has begun to doubt the authenticity of the other person's words.
"My father is talking about muskets, right? Don't you have two? It's the one you gave to you when you came back from Jiucheng Palace last time." Li Chengqian had a suspicious expression on his face, and he didn't understand what the old man was doing. Did the old man never use those two hand guns he got? Or was he giving them away? That would be too scary.
"..." Li Er's eyes were straight, clearly looking like he hadn't remembered yet.
Helplessly, Li Chengqian hooked his fingers, called old eunuch Fang over, then took out his pistol and handed it to him, asking him to send it to Li Er.
"Is this thing?" Holding Li Chengqian's pistol, a trace of suddenness flashed across Li Er's face.
Then... Li Chengqian rushed out the door: "Father, don't face that thing, you will die if you accidentally..."
Oh my God, don’t the old man know that the pistol was loaded? He actually took it back and forth. If he was not careful, his life would be reimbursed by the old man.
After a while, the old man's voice came out: "Okay, come in. I still think it's some fairy treasure, it turns out that's it."
"Father, where is yours? You won't take it with you, right? This is what I gave you to yourself for, not a decoration." When Li Chengqian returned to the study, he saw that the hand gun was placed on the table, and then he breathed a little relieved.
"I don't need so much defense. If someone in the world wants to assassinate me, then it's better not to have the Tang Dynasty." Speaking of his own safety, Li Er was full of confidence.
Whether it is true or false, just this kind of heroism is enough for Li Chengqian to learn for hundreds of years. So someone could only blink dryly, looking embarrassed and wondering how to deal with the old man.
"You really plan not to leave a living person for those Tubo people? You must know that your reputation is not very good during this period. The 50,000 Goguryeo slaves have not yet subsided. If you make such a move, I'm afraid it will be a little trouble." After figuring out what the "Immortal Baby" is, Li Er turned the topic to Li Chengqian's actions against the Tubo delegation in the evening.
Before the action, Li Chengqian had already reported the plan to the old man's desk. He wrote all of them clearly on how many people he used and when he was to do it.
The last time he was exiled to mobilize the army on his back, Li Chengqian didn't want the old man to say that he "remember to eat but not to beat him."
"Father, the people are just barbarians. Since they dare to scatter on the land of the Tang Dynasty, they must be prepared to bear the consequences." Li Chengqian shrugged, looking indifferent.
Now he has no good reputation, so it’s better to keep a reputation as a butcher. It’s nothing wrong with being a ‘tyrant’.
Moreover, he is the prince, just to satisfy the old man. There is no need to care about other people's comments, just like his other half of his soul said: If you don't agree, just kill them. Kill them five hundred and see if there are still people who don't agree.
Besides, Li Chengqian is not a person who doesn’t listen to his opinions. He still listens to some suggestions that are beneficial to the country and to his advantage.
All I don’t care about is just some indifferent comments, such as educating barbarians, and the benevolence and righteousness of bad people.
Benevolence and righteousness are true to the people of the Tang Dynasty. The royal family must need the support of the people. It is correct to treat the people with kindness and righteousness.
However, for those foreign races who want to snatch the land of the Tang Dynasty and the resources of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian did not mind sending these benevolent and righteous guys to the foreign race and let them talk about benevolence and righteousness in the foreign race.
Another thing is education. Is it feasible to educate without a big stick? Even in the Tang Dynasty, teachers still need to prepare a ruler? Those who disobedient students should use ruler to educate them.
What about the alien race? The people of the Tang Dynasty need to use rulers to help them study hard. Do the alien race use steel knives?
Li Er knew Li Chengqian’s idea and how to treat foreign races. The father and son had discussed it more than once, so after seeing his son’s attitude, he smiled helplessly and sighed that his father was really hard.
The father is the only one who is the one who is the father, and he wipes his son's butt every day, and then his wife says he is too cruel to him. I really don't know who is the father and who is the son.
如果不是看在这小子一些作法深得朕心,早就揍的他连他爷爷都不认识了.
Putting the matter of the Tubo delegation aside, Li Er asked Li Chengqian with a little joke: "What do you think about the Tubo invasion? The Tubo envoys said that they were going to bring 200,000 troops to Chang'an."
"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Li Chengqian sneered: "Father, where can one Tubo get the 200,000 army? Now there are 40 Dongdae in Tubo. Each Dongdae manages more than 1,000 households. Each household sends one army, and its total strength is 40,000 to 50,000. 200,000! Did he even count the donkey?"
"Haha..." Li Chengqian said it interestingly, making Li Er laugh.
In fact, Li Er was also a little nervous. This kind of nervousness was not because of the concern that Tubo would invade Chang'an, but because of the fear that 200,000 troops would die if they fought, how many people would be given, and how much pensions would be given, as well as food, supplies, etc.
So before Li Chengqian came back, he checked the information several times and verified the total population and military personnel of Tubo.
What Li Chengqian said now is exactly the same as what he did to investigate, and it also made Lao Li feel at ease.
The battle of 50,000 people was still acceptable in his opinion. Fighting a war would not have much impact on the current economic situation of the Tang Dynasty.
