Li Chengqian's rare courage and incisive analysis made Empress Changsun look at her with admiration.

She nodded and said, "Chengqian, the queen mother is not a fool, she knows how to choose."

Li Chengqian said gratefully: "Thank you, my mother."

Empress Changsun asked, "Chengqian, what's going on with this money?"

Li Chengqian said: "These money was paid by Erchen, his fifth brother, as well as all the princes and princes. Erchen had a suggestion, asking his mother to donate the money and build a clinic on all streets of Chang'an City to facilitate the treatment of the people. This matter is a great merit and will definitely win the praise of the people.

Queen Mother, what else can be better than the sincere praise of the people and pray for Queen Mother?”

Last night, Li Chengqian sent people to inform the princes, saying that he would pay for them and fulfill his filial piety to Empress Changsun in their name. Li Tai's construction of Buddhist silhouettes did cause great trouble to these people. Many people have begun to raise money and are preparing to follow Li Tai.

Li Chengqian's proposal made all the princes and princes feel relaxed, not to mention that they paid for them. So everyone was grateful to Li Chengqian. Now, Li Tai not only did not hit others, but offended a large number of people.

"Very good, Chengqian, this is done well." Empress Changsun sincerely praised.

...

After leaving Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian felt comfortable physically and mentally, and felt like he wanted to fly. After today's events, he realized that escaping was really not a solution. After facing the difficulties bravely, he overcame the difficulties and no longer worried and fear in his heart. It was really a feeling of great pleasure.

Li Zheng Hall.

Shortly after Li Chengqian left, Changsun Wuji came.

He said with great concern: "Sister, the King of Wei has done a little too much. I am really worried about His Royal Highness."

Empress Changsun said excitedly: "Brother, Chengqian has come just now. Do you know what he said to me?" She told Changsun Wuji about Li Chengqian's performance.

Changsun Wuji was also very excited and said, "I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made such great progress. It's so surprising and so happy."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Isn't this Li You helping him behind his back? If this continues, Cheng Qian will really grow up."

Changsun Wuji said with some concern: "Your Majesty summoned His Highness the King of Qi, I wonder if he would anger Your Majesty."

Empress Changsun said: "I believe that Li You will have a solution." She has always been very confident in Li You.

Then, she said firmly: "No matter what, we must help him!"

...

Li You went to meet Li Shimin. As soon as he walked to Liangyi Hall, he saw Li Tai coming out of Liangyi Hall. Now Li Tai and Li You are already in a state of trouble. They were too lazy to talk when they met, so they turned their faces aside and passed by each other.

Li Tai walked for a while, couldn't help but look back and stared at his back with jealous eyes. Li You looked straight and walked forward with his head held high and his chest raised.

Li Tai was in a very complicated mood. He hated Li You. Not only did Li You often slap him in the face, but he also helped the useless Li Chengqian because he was not stingy and did not support himself. He stood there for a while until Li You's back disappeared before turning around and leaving.

Liangyi Hall, study room.

Li You came to Li Shimin's study door, and Ma Xuanliang said, "Your Highness, Lord Fang is inside."

Li You smiled and said, "Okay, it's just right. I have something to talk to Lord Fang."

Li You didn't need to inform him to meet Li Shimin, so he pushed the door open and went in.

"Sons meet my father and emperor." Li You said.

When Li Shimin saw Li You, he said happily: "Li You, you are here just in time. Hou Junji has a memorial."

Li You took the memorial and knew that Hou Junji had launched an attack on the Western Turkic troops a month ago.

Li Shimin’s question and answer: “Li You, you are familiar with the situation in the Western Regions. How do you think the war will develop?” Li Shimin and others were very worried about such a big war.

Li You smiled and said, "Father, please put your heart in your stomach. The loss of mercy is unpopular. There is a large army set up by Yugu in the northwest, the army of Hou Junji in the southeast, and the Persian army of Hamid in the southwest. His demise will be a matter of time sooner or later.

It won’t take long for Hou Junji to arrive.”

After he said this, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling immediately felt relieved.

Li Shimin asked: "What should we do if the remaining parts of the Western Regions are left after the defeat of the Western Turks, after the capture of the Western Turks, what should we do if we do it?"

Li You said: "Apart from Puli, Yinai and Shache, the three Uighur-controlled countries, they were all captured."

Fang Xuanling asked: "What should I do if the Western Turks in Yugu set up a tribe?"

Li You smiled and said, "After this battle, they had a maximum of 50,000 troops left, and the coalition forces would definitely not be less than 150,000 troops at this time. Set three options for Yugu: one is to let them continue to go west to harm others, the second is to incorporate them directly into our Tang Dynasty, and the third is to simply wipe them out."

Fang Xuanling asked, "What's the reason? After all, they just cooperated with the coalition forces and conquered the loss of profit?" The ancients had to pay attention to the reputation of the army when sending troops.

Li You smiled and said, "The reason is that the coalition forces are stronger than them, so if you don't accept it, you will fight. If you really need a reason, just say that the Western Regions were from the Han Dynasty. Can't we take it back now?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Very good, I like this reason. Hahaha."

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "It's a good reason. Haha."

Li You said: "Father, Erchen just came back from Xigou Iron Mine, and it has developed very well. Erchen will report to you."

When Li Shimin heard that Xigou Iron Mine could produce 2 million kilograms of iron a year, he said excitedly: "So much, this is more than 20% of the iron produced by the Tang Dynasty in the whole year."

Fang Xuanling was also very happy and grinned.

Li You said: "The technology of wrought iron in Xigou Iron Mine has also been greatly improved, and it can produce a large amount of steelmaking. The son-in-law brought back some weapons and wanted to ask his father to take a look."

Li Shimin was very interested and said, "Please bring it in."

Li You suggested: "Father, please move into the yard and try it yourself?"

Li Shimin had been in the house for a long time and was feeling a little frustrated, saying, "Okay, go out and have a look."

Not long after, everyone came to the yard.

Ma Xuanliang had tested the weapons brought by Li You and took over temporarily. He picked up a Tang sword and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the Tang sword, held the hilt, and slowly pulled the knife out.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was cloudless, and the autumn sun was particularly bright. The sun shone on Tang Dao, shining brightly.

With a "cang" sound, Li Shimin pulled out the Tang sword and raised it in front of him to check carefully. He saw that the Tang sword was extremely sharp and reflected a cold and cold light in the sunlight.
