Chapter 437: After the Chen family

Li Shimin could feel the resentment of these ordinary people towards the aristocratic races.

Li Shimin even suddenly realized that the resentment of the world towards the emperor was, to some extent, originated from the aristocratic race.

In the eyes of the people, they cannot distinguish the filth between the emperor and the aristocratic race. After all, the aristocratic race receives high officials and generous salaries, possesses land and countless slaves. In the eyes of many people, this itself... means that the emperor and the aristocratic race are one, and anti-the aristocratic race means anti-the emperor.

Li Shimin felt very upset at this time. It turned out that I was not pleased with both sides. For the aristocratic race, they thought I didn’t give enough, but for ordinary people, the emperor and the aristocratic race were birds of a feather.

Li Shimin stood up, smiled, and looked at Zhou Wu: "Zhou Dongjia... I'm here today. Oh, can I take this newspaper away?"

When Zhou Wu heard that Li Shimin didn't seem to be doing business, he felt a little regretful, but the business was not done with righteousness, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Li Shimin seemed to remember something and said to Chen Zhengtai: "Do you need tables and chairs?"

Chen Zhengtai shook his head quickly: "No need."

Li Shimin was very regretful, so he said to Zhang Qian again: "Do you need it?"

"Your...Mr., you know me. What do I want to do with tables and chairs?"

Li Shimin had no choice but to sigh: "Let's do this, I need five hundred tables and chairs here, and I will pay a deposit first. I will pick up the goods at the beginning of next month."

As he said that, he subconsciously took out his sleeves, and unexpectedly...

No money brought.

Chen Zhengtai rolled his eyes secretly and coughed. He took out a stack of IOUs from his sleeve and placed them directly on the table: "I count myself, if I don't have enough, I'll make up for it."

Li Shimin smiled and walked out of this room.

A carriage parked outside? Li Shimin got on the carriage and invited Chen Zhengtai to sit with him.

Chen Zhengtai got into Li Shimin's carriage, and the carriage moved? When Zhou Wu saw that he had received a big order, he was so happy that he hurriedly delivered the carriage to the entrance of the workshop.

After Li Shimin entered the carriage, he leaned on the mat? His eyes were half open and half closed.

In this quiet carriage, after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I don't plan to tolerate them anymore."

Chen Zhengtai naturally understood the profound meaning of Your Majesty's words? He looked at Li Shimin and said, "What are your Majesty's plans?"

Li Shimin is a courageous person? Obviously he has a thought in his heart. He said: "The cavalry mansion must first train a military horse. All the civil servants and military officials in the army will be transferred from the children of all workers."

This is almost an unprecedented event!

In all dynasties, people have been guarded against the children of all workers? Taking the children of all workers as the backbone? This is unprecedented.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, almost all the backbones in the army are children of nobles or landlords who own a land. These people are called good children. After entering the army, they have made great contributions to the emperor, made achievements, and then rewarded more land.

Even the Li family actually leaped with this.

In the eyes of many people, hundreds of crafts are a low-key career. This kind of discrimination against all craftsmen is actually from all aspects. From social status to future ways out, once you become a craftsman, there is almost no possibility of leaping into your own status.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, you can hardly find a few people with craftsmen’s backgrounds.

Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "Here."

Li Shimin's face was tense at this time. This was a thing of the past, but at this moment, there was a little sharper in his eyes, and his eyes swept on Chen Zhengtai: "Can these people maintain their combat power?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Have you forgotten the place where Shuofang was..."

Li Shimin nodded: "I understand. However... these combat powers are still not enough. The Turks were just disrupted by muskets. But you need to understand that muskets alone cannot defeat the enemy. If they encounter excellent generals, they will soon find the flaws of the musket array, so this must be done. This army must have the ability to respond quickly and have a cavalry camp."

The power of war horses will never be eliminated in this era. The power of muskets at this time is still too weak and has too many disadvantages.

Chen Zhengtai said: "My son understand."

Li Shimin immediately said, "Can they guarantee their loyalty?"

This is actually the most important thing. No matter how powerful it is, it will be useless if you are not loyal to you!

"Absolutely." Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation.

Li Shimin looked at him with a smile: "Let me tell me."

"There is one advantage for the children of a hundred workers. They often grow up in dense crowds and are knowledgeable. Most of their parents have some savings and can barely support them to read some books and read some words. Although they have limited learning, they can be re-educated after entering the army... This is why news reports have the greatest impact on craftsmen. So my sons think that in this new army, training should be the main focus and education as a supplement. In addition... The children of aristocratic families, even if they give them more, they have already raised their talents. It is not surprising that if the children of a hundred workers, as long as the children of a hundred men are willing to give some gifts, even if they are just small rewards, they will be grateful. Start here... and then allocate some excellent generals to lead them, they will dare to go through fire and water."

"Excellent General..." Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others immediately flew through Li Shimin's mind.

But he shook his head, Li Jing... was not firm in the position of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

However, Cheng Yaojin and others had too much connection with the aristocratic race.

It was not that Li Shimin did not believe in their loyalty, but for Li Shimin, what he needed was a military horse that could comply with the will without hesitation if the royal family conflicted with the aristocratic race.

What this military horse wants is not 99% loyalty, but 100%!

Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Is anyone competent?"

Chen Zhengtai had already chosen someone and immediately said, "Have you forgotten Su Dingfang, Xue Ren and others? In addition, there are Black-Type Changzhi and Qibing Heli. Although most of these people are born in the grassroots or surrendered by the foreigners, they are all enemies of thousands of people. In the eyes of the minister, they are not inferior to Li Jing and General Cheng and others."

This guy...

However, I am very confident in Su Dingfang and others.

Li Shimin was quite at ease with the force of these people, but the general still needed to be able to lead troops to fight, which was not a temporary courage.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai deeply and said, "Can you trust it?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are both brothers of Erchen. As for Heichi Changzhi, Qi Bi and He Li had no relatives in the Tang Dynasty. Erchen has always trusted them and they have always been grateful."

"Then give it a try." Li Shimin smiled: "After I, I cannot rely on Li Jing and others to conquer the world. They are old."

Then Li Shimin said again: "You mentioned the new army just now, so this army horse is called the new army. The responsibility is still to protect the prince and put it in the Eastern Palace Guards. The money and food required should be taken from the national treasury. Tomorrow... I will issue an order. As for other things... I will arrange, and what you need to do is to train troops..."

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid my son is difficult to take the big responsibility, so why not... ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out and take charge of the overall situation."

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply.

He seemed to understand what Chen Zhengtai meant.

All the new army are Chen Zhengtai's people. Chen Zhengtai is afraid that he, the emperor, will have some doubts about him.

But Li Shimin smiled and said meaningfully: "I regard you as my son, why do you need to doubt it? Besides... remember, you are my minister, and you are not the prince's minister yet."

As soon as this statement was made Chen Zhengtai almost slapped himself in the face.

He almost forgot the specialties of the Li family. Anyone who has the strength and who is a son will have to do his own things.

Li Shimin started his own brothers and his father. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty has almost all this tradition, and it is not wrong to say that it is a family background.

In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on the Li family. Isn’t it rumored that Emperor Yang of Sui killed Emperor Wen when Emperor Wen was about to die?

As for the messy Eastern Jin, Western Jin, and Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen in the Southern Dynasties, it was just a common occurrence. The son fucked me, my son fucked me, my younger brother fucked me... This was simply a traditional entertainment project within the royal family.

Therefore, later historians always say that the Li family is ruthless, which is really wronged them. As for the Li family royal family, to a certain extent, their moral level may still be above the passing line among the royal family.

Only after the Song Dynasty did the royal family barely stabilize... This is because the inheritance system gradually became complete.

Now Li Shimin... do you say he does not value family affection at all? He obviously attaches great importance to it. He has a lot of affection for Empress Changsun. His concern for Prince Li Chengqian is meticulous. Even if Li Chengqian rebelled in history, he could not bear to kill him. Even Li Zhi ascended the throne, because he could not bear to die after his death, so he chose Li Zhi, who was relatively polite, as his heir.

But even if Li Shimin loves his son, his heart is like a mirror. If he wants to be free from the father and son, the only way is to grasp the power in his hands.

He can cultivate Li Chengqian with all his heart, but he must not give Li Chengqian too much military power and nurture Li Chengqian's ambitions.

It is not difficult to guess Li Shimin’s thoughts.

But Chen Zhengtai pretended to be smart. When he mentioned Li Chengqian at this time, Li Shimin couldn't help but start to doubt that this guy... could not be Li Chengqian's undercover agent.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel like he shot himself in the foot!

He took a deep breath, and it was certain that he was embarrassed at this time, but as the saying goes, as long as I, Chen Zhengtai, is not embarrassed, the embarrassing person will be someone else.

So he laughed dryly and said, "It's because my son is not considerate, so my son is of course loyal to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked as usual and said, "I have no other intentions, but... good wine needs to be brewed to make it fragrant. The prince is still young, so he doesn't need to get involved in such a big deal."

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say in his heart, I'm still young, too.

But now I became smart and said with a smile on my face: "My son understand."

The carriage walked slowly and soon arrived at the front of the Chen family's mansion.

But at this time, the Chen family was in chaos.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the doorman shouted, "But is the doctor here? Is it the doctor?"

Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai got out of the car. When the gatekeeper saw that it was Chen Zhengtai, he was speechless for a moment.

Chen Zhengtai was anxious: "What, why do you ask the doctor to do?"

"His princess is about to give birth." The doorman said: "Chen Fu has gone to find the doctor, I...I thought..."

Chen Zhengtai jumped in a hurry: "What, isn't there a doctor in our house? Is something wrong?"

The concierge said: "Of course there are doctors in the mansion, and Wen Po is there, and these are all prepared long ago, but His Highness said... He said he was unwell and was about to give birth... So... the third uncle was worried and said he wanted to find more doctors to take care of the emergencies."

"Uh..." Chen Zhengtai then felt a little relieved and tried hard to calm down and said, "Oh, I know, don't be afraid. Look at your stubborn look, I'll go in and take a look."

Li Shimin never expected that he would have a child at this time. He was just here to see him and Tantan's daughter was a little excited and worried, and couldn't help but say, "It's really not a coincidence that he came."

Chen Zhengtai then realized that His Majesty was here, so he quickly stopped and prepared to walk in, saying, "Your Majesty, please."

When the gatekeeper heard the word "Your Majesty", he was stunned and seemed so shocked that he could not speak.

Everyone hurried into the house, and the place where Princess Sui'an was staying was already crowded.

All the female relatives of the Chen family came. The third uncle did not dare to go forward, but dared to look from afar, with his hands behind his back, and walked around with some of the men of the Chen family, asking for gods, Buddhas and ancestors from time to time, hoping to get blessings.

In this era... even a noble family like the Chen family cannot ensure smooth delivery. If you are not careful, the mother and son may be gone.

Therefore, everyone in the whole mansion was anxious, and they wanted everyone to go in, take out Princess Sui'an, and replace her with her: Come on... Although this is the first time I have this, I have quite experienced it. I will be in the next life.

When the third uncle saw Chen Zhengtai, he first cursed: "Why did you come back so late today? Your Highness is about to give birth to you, and you can't find you."

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Li Shimin was familiar with him, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Li Shimin said: "What's wrong?"

Now the third uncle was anxious, so he said angrily: "What else can I do? I don't understand. What's the use of asking? Based on my years of experience in seeing people's childbirth... If I don't give birth to the child before tonight, I'm afraid... I'll have bad things. Oh, how can I say bad things, crow's mouth."
