The Ministry of War was in charge of military affairs, and Li Ke was transferred to the position of the Grand Governor of Bingzhou and the Ministry of War received news. Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of War, was even more well-informed. When Li Shimin's imperial edict was sent to the King of Chu's palace, Changsun Wuji had already learned about this.

Chang'an, Changsun Mansion.

"I wonder why my father was desperate to come here?" In the Changsun Mansion study, Changsun Wuji was sitting in the study. Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun rushed forward and worshiped Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji asked Changsun Chong to sit down, and then handed the ministry order that had just been drafted by the Ministry of War drafting and the Ministry of War to Changsun Chong, and said to Changsun Chong: "Chong'er, you have a look first."

Changsun Chong followed the words and took the order from Changsun Wuji, and looked carefully. After a moment, his face was full of surprise.

"Your Majesty has actually transferred the King of Chu to the Grand Governor of Bingzhou to govern Hedong?" Changsun Chong said in surprise with the order of the Ministry of War in his hand.

Changsun Wuji said, "Yes, this is the imperial edict just issued in the palace at noon today. I was also surprised to be a father."

Changsun Chong asked, "The weight of Bingzhou is not as good as Yangzhou. Why would Your Majesty allow the King of Chu to go to Bingzhou?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Recently Xue Yantuo invaded south and his troops surrounded Dingxiang City. The King of Chu went north at this time, probably for this reason."

Changsun Chong asked, "Your Majesty has sent Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin, and the three generals of Su Dingfang to the north to clear the siege of Dingxiang City. Why did you transfer the King of Chu to the north? Isn't it a waste of time?"

Changsun Wuji did not reply to Changsun Chong's words, but asked back: "What do Chong'er thinks?"

Changsun Chong knew that Changsun Wuji was intending to compete with him. Changsun Chong thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that Your Majesty wanted to launch a large-scale northern expedition to pacify Xue Yantuo, but because of insufficient food and grass, he failed to do what he wanted. Could it be that Your Majesty was to transfer the King of Chu to the north for this? Is it another preparation for the pacify Xue Yantuo in the future?"

After hearing Changsun Chong's words, Changsun Wuji nodded with some praise and said, "Chong'er thought well, that's exactly what he said."

Listening to Changsun Wuji's answer, the surprise on Changsun Chong's face became even heavier. Changsun Chong asked, "The King of Chu is only sixteen years old, so what is the virtue of what can he do to be the battle to destroy the country?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Li Ke must have said something to His Majesty. I don't know how Li Ke convinced His Majesty to be a father, but the fact is that there is no doubt."

Changsun Chong asked, "The Grand Governor of Bingzhou is in charge of Beidu, governing Hedong, and commanding 100,000 border troops. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of the King of Chu?"

Bingzhou is not as good as Yangzhou. The commander of the Yangzhou Grand Commander is only 18 military commanders, and the commander of more than 30,000 troops. However, the commander of the Bingzhou Grand Commander is in charge of the Hedong army, which is in charge of Shuo, Dai, Lu, and Jin 16 states. Although the prefectures under the Bingzhou Grand Commander are not as many as those under the commander of Yangzhou Grand Commander, Hedong is an important place. The commander of the Bingzhou Grand Commander is in charge of 85 military commanders, and is in charge of 100,000 troops. He is the leader of the four major governors of the Tang Dynasty and has great authority.

In Changsun Chong's eyes, Li Ke held such a major city in his hand and was approaching Guanzhong. It was strange that Li Shimin could be completely at ease.

However, Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "You still don't know Your Majesty. Your Majesty is born in the army and has won the world on the horse's back. He is just a child with yellow mouth. Although he has some tricks, how can he be his Majesty's opponent? What's the fear of Your Majesty?

What's more, there are only 30,000 border troops in Taiyuan. The rest are distributed in 16 prefectures in Hedong. The commanders of the states in charge of the army are mostly His Majesty's old subordinates. Li Ji, the chief of the Grand Governor of Bingzhou, is His Majesty's confidant general. How could he follow the chaos? Li Ke is a smart man and will never dare to rebel."

"So that's it." Changsun Chong suddenly realized after hearing this.

Changsun Wuji said: "I hope Li Ke will raise an army for his father. This will make him seek death. Unfortunately, this little fox is very cunning, so it is not easy to ask him to get into a trap."

If it were based on Changsun Wuji's wishes, he would rather have Li Ke rebelled. In this way, he would definitely die. There was no need for Changsun Wuji to do anything else.

Changsun Chong said: "Bingzhou is only more than a day away from Guanzhong. If the King of Chu is asked to stand firm in Bingzhou, it will definitely cause great trouble."

Changsun Wuji said, "Yes, it's just that you are here for your father."

Changsun Chong asked, "Dad, what do you have to explain?"

Changsun Wuji said, "If you are the one who is the father who is referring to Your Majesty as the military officer of the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, would you dare to go?"

Changsun Chong was stunned when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. Changsun Wuji was a civil servant, and Changsun Chong was appointed as Zong Zhengcheng and also a civil servant. However, the record officer was in the military office of the border prefectures and was considered a military official. He did not expect Changsun Wuji to say this suddenly.

Changsun paused for a while before asking, "Why did my father suddenly ask about this? Did my father want to enter the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office and think he was in the inner support? But the King of Chu knew that his son was my father's son, so he must have more dikes. I'm afraid he would not be able to do it."

Changsun Wuji said: "I am my father who wants you to join the Grand Governor's Office in Bingzhou, but it is not to ask you to be an insider. As you said, Li Ke must be careful when he knows your identity. It is not easy to find out the news."

When Changsun Chong heard this, he became more and more puzzled, and then asked, "Why is that?"

Changsun Wuji said, "First, you are the legitimate son of the Changsun family. You are in Bingzhou. Li Ke is worried and will be more afraid of doing things. Second, you are eighteen years old and are almost in a weak position. It is time to go to the army to gain some military merits. What kind of climate can you achieve if you stay in Chang'an? This time, Li Ke is in charge of Xueyantuo, Peking, and it is time for you to gain merits."

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it emphasized martial arts and over literature. All the important officials in the court, even civil officials, had more or less military merits on them. Changsun Chong was the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, and he would inherit Changsun Wuji's family business in the future. How could he have no military merits?

Although Changsun Chong was a civil servant, he also had some skills in his hands. If he joined the army, he would not be very resistant. He just joined Li Ke. Li Ke and the Changsun family have always been disagreement, but Changsun Chong felt a little uneasy.

Changsun Chong said, "If you want to join the army, you will have no reason. It's just that the King of Chu and his father are disagreeing and treat them as enemies. Before the battle formation, there were ruthless swords and swords, so I'm afraid that I will not be able to save my life."

Changsun Chong's worries are not without reason. The battlefield is ruthless, and Li Ke and Changsun Wuji have always been disagreement. Li Ke is the Grand Governor of Bingzhou. Isn't it easy to set up a bureau to be a seventh-rank record officer in the military?

Changsun Chong is Changsun Wuji's eldest son, and he is the most virtuous among all the sons. Changsun Wuji naturally cares about Changsun Chong's safety.

However, Changsun Wuji said confidently: "My son doesn't have to worry about this. How smart is the King of Chu? You are the son of your father and are incompatible with the King of Chu. Because of this, the King of Chu will try his best to save your life to avoid criticism and suspicion in the court."

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Chong thought about it and it seemed that this was true. Li Ke was very ambitious. The more he did, the more he cherished his feathers and cared about Li Shimin's opinion of him. Changsun Chong was Li Shimin's nephew and was loved by Li Shimin. If Changsun Chong had a good fortune in Bingzhou, Li Ke and Li Shimin would not be able to explain it.

Changsun Chong said, "My father said very well, but I thought badly. But I still have something to do. I hope my father can solve the problem."

Changsun Wuji said, "What's the matter? Just ask."

Changsun Chong asked, "Like my father's tone, it seems that he has also determined that Li Ke can pacify Xue Yantuo. However, although Li Ke is the general of the Right Guard and was once the governor of Yangzhou, he has never commanded the army in the border prefectures. Why does his father believe so firmly in Li Ke and want to make this military merit?"

Changsun Wuji heard Changsun Chong's words and sighed, "Your Majesty has appointed Li Ke as the Grand Governor of Bingzhou and to manage Hedong. Moreover, although Li Ke was young and disagreeing with his father, he had to recognize him for a little bit of his father. Li Ke was both civil and military, and he was both civil and military, and his cunning skills, cunning methods, and his heart and eyes. Li Ke was indeed the leader of the world, and he was much better than the crown prince and the king of Wei. It would be good to follow him and learn more."
