Chapter five hundred and eighty-four: great credit(1/2)

A person who hasn't really tried congestion cannot understand that anxiety.

When people are in it, you will never know when the congestion will be resolved. Everyone around you is extremely anxious. When people are in their emotions, they start to curse themselves.

And when you are in it, you only see the team ahead without end. After waiting for a long time, the team still remains motionless. All kinds of noisy sounds sounded, and everyone is furious. In this environment, even if you don’t want to enter the city, you still find that there is no way to go, because there are countless waves of people behind you.

It would be fine if you were not in a hurry to travel, but if you were those who were involved in making a living, you would inevitably become frightened and anxious. After all, no one was willing to spend half a day wasting this meaningless thing.

The weather today is pretty good, and Li Shimin even wonders what emotions will these people who cannot move forward and retreat when they encounter rainy and snowy weather, or even when the winter is cold and cold, what kind of emotions will arise.

Anyway, Li Shimin's condition is very bad. If he was not the emperor, he would definitely follow many people and scold the bastard for being the one named Li.

Therefore, when he saw Fang Xuanling seemingly hesitant, he said seriously: "The prince's advice is really too correct. You are the prime minister, who should suffer the hardships of the people. The current congestion has become a great disaster in Chang'an. I even wonder, Chang'an is like this, and there are so many prefectures and counties in the world, isn't this the case? This is at the foot of the emperor. If Chang'an's good capital does not solve this problem, how dare other prefectures and counties follow suit?"

Fang Xuanling said: "What should I do if the city defense is done? The curfew at night is lost and the city walls and arch walls are lost, so how can I implement it?"

This is a very realistic reason.

Li Shimin had already sat down. The congestion just now made him sweat profusely. The sweat had dried up. The suffocation made him feel more smooth after entering the palace. He calmed down and said, "What's the idea of ​​the prince?"

Li Chengqian said: "I am not worried about the issue of city defense. There are so many imperial guards here in Chang'an. What can I do if I don't rely on city defense? The Tiance army can defeat the enemy with more than 1,000 cavalry. Then, if there are more Tiance army in our Tang Dynasty, there will be no worries about someone who dares to invade Chang'an. As for the curfew, the essence of the curfew, I am still afraid that there will be a scoundrel in the city. I might as well use the night-time method to use the men of the guards and the men of Erchen's newsstand at various streets.

, set up a warning booth to let them be on duty at night. If there are sluts, go up and check it. Why do you need a special wall or a gate that confines each yard at night? What's more, right now... you cannot enter and exit inside and outside the city at night, and each yard is not connected. It's better to let some carriages and horses transport goods enter the city at night to supply the needs of the city, and avoid all the supply and demand of goods. Transport them in the daytime. In this way, the congestion during the day can be greatly reduced, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded: "Transfer of goods at night... This is also a solution. When I came, I saw many carriages and horses carrying goods... If they were asked to change the streets at night, they would do a good job."

Li Chengqian said: "Actually, this question is, to put it bluntly, but it is just a matter of the city wall or the hearts of the people. Is this country and the country guarded by the city wall or the hearts of the people? No, the people's business can almost be unable to continue. Can this towering high wall eliminate their anger? Besides... What's the use of Chang'an in today's Chang'an? The scale of the city has expanded several times. The people in the city wall are the people. Are the people on the streets outside the city not the people?"

Li Shimin sighed: "The prince's words are exactly what I want."

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and others were still trying to argue, he sighed, "If you think that I, the prince and Xiurong are not right..."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I agree."

Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "If you think that the words of me, the prince, Xiurong and Changsun Qing family are wrong, then you can go out and go to the city to see at this time. At that time, you will know what I am thinking. The prince is right. How can those in power do not know the sufferings of the people? I used to worry that the prince did not know the sufferings of the people, but how could they know that, but you no longer know."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

In fact, he is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the people. After all, he has experienced wars and military affairs.

But... it is obvious that the world has changed, and this earth-shaking change is precisely the masters in the temple, but they seem to be aware of it later.

Of course, this is really no wonder Fang Xuanling. After all, after being the prime minister for a long time, his understanding of the world has become more inclined to memorials from various states. How can these words make people empathize with it?

The prime minister was in the three provinces and was busy every day. Fang Xuanling could not have any other leisure time, so he made a special trip to learn about the congestion in the city.

Fang Xuanling said, "I will die, take time, I will definitely go and have a look."

Li Shimin nodded without any harshness, and then said, "As for the construction of the railway in the city, let the Chen family help you. First get a charter, how to repair it, how much it costs, how much it costs, how much it costs, how it can be done... to clear the population, all kinds of things need to be planned. The prince's proposal to transport goods at night is very good, and the court can encourage this. If the goods are transported into the city at night, some taxes can be reduced. What do you think?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "The initiative of His Highness the Crown Prince is admirable."

Li Chengqian naturally became proud.

Fang Xuanling and others were just timid.

Li Shimin said: "In addition, this Hou Junji rebelled, and his family was interrogated by the Ministry of Justice. If they were not aware of the matter, some guilt could be exempted. If they knew about it, they would be severely punished. This time, I left the seclusion and walked out of seclusion, which was a great eye-opener. Chen Zhengtai... I have seen the power of this heavy cavalry. If there were 100,000 heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, why worry about not submitting to the world?"

"My son is also thinking about this question." Chen Zhengtai said: "The result of this battle is too great. I think it is already a shock to the world. If you can destroy Goguryeo because of this, Your Majesty can complete the achievements that the Great Sui Dynasty did not complete."

Li Shimin nodded: "That's the reason... I'm thinking... no matter what, I should expand the Tiance Army and recruit children of hundreds of workers?"

"This is great." Chen Zhengtai said: "As long as your Majesty issues an order, there will definitely be hundreds of children of workers who will actively participate."

The current Tiance Army has a very famous reputation.

This battle has achieved fruitful results and has become a complete fame.

Li Shimin immediately said, "This matter is left to you. Yes, have you been talking about Goguryeo all the time? I remember, I have discussed it with you. Goguryeo... is unruly, I want to teach them a lesson for a long time, so... I give you half a year. Within half a year, if you don't have a solution to Goguryeo, I will personally conquer Goguryeo in the spring of the following year."

Chen Zhengtai nodded quickly: "Half a year... may be a bit compact, but the beginning of next spring will definitely use the most effective method to solve the problem of Goguryeo in one fell swoop. But... Your Majesty, if you really do it, you can solve Goguryeo, your minister..."

Li Shimin laughed: "This Goguryeo is a major concern of the court. If it can be solved, it will be almost invincible within the world of the Tang Dynasty. With such great achievements, I will be the one who has made you the prince, so what if I have made you a prince?"

Chen Zhengtai looked like he sharpened his knife: "Then your majesty, just wait and see."

Goguryeo lasted for hundreds of years. By the Sui and Tang dynasties, its strength became increasingly expanding. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a big trouble. After all, there was actually no strong enemy around the Tang Dynasty that could be matched, but it was Goguryeo, which was a stubborn disease that could not be solved even if it surrendered to the Turks. It can be said that Goguryeo's contribution to the demise of the Sui Dynasty accounted for at least half.

Only when Li Shimin took over Goguryeo could he be called the Great Sui Dynasty. At that time, Li Shimin and his son had really suffered from Goguryeo. When Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, he ordered Li Yuan to take charge of Huaiyuan and supervise the transportation of food and grass. Many of Li Shimin's relatives went out with the army, and many of them died in the journey of Goguryeo. None of the children of the Guanlong clan had a deep hatred for the Goguryeo people.

If it could really win Goguryeo, it would be considered light to shock the world. At least... the Tang Dynasty had no enemies around it.

Chen Zhengtai is now a prince. Once he is granted the title of prince, he will be considered the highest title. Except for the emperor, he can be said to be inferior to one person and above ten thousand people in the world.

Chen Zhengtai was very excited. The prince was still very valuable, and Li Shimin did not have the habit of killing heroes, let alone this hero was his son-in-law.

If a real man is alive and the prince dares not do it, what is the meaning of life?

Although this is a bit Versailles, in a sense, it also shows that Chen Zhengtai still has some ambitions.

Fang Xuanling and others were shocked by the audience. Are they going to conquer Goguryeo?

These people, or they are their fathers and grandchildren, had the experience of expedition to Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty. This Goguryeo gave a full generation of experiences like a nightmare.

Although everyone knows that Goguryeo is a big concern, but it really wants to start a war, it still reminds people of some painful experiences.

However, Chen Zhengtai was in a guarantee, basically saying that he could win Goguryeo at the lowest price in less than a year. This is obviously... a bit exaggerated.

Of course... Chen Zhengtai has shocked too many people. This time... is it necessary to create a miracle again?

Everyone still felt a little incredible when they looked at Chen Zhengtai. They felt a little credible, but they also felt that Goguryeo was not Gaochang after all, nor Hou Junji who was temporarily rebelling. I am afraid that it would not be so easy to win Goguryeo.

Li Shimin was very excited at this time, but he had great expectations for Chen Zhengtai: "I not only have expectations for my son-in-law who rides the dragon, but also have more expectations for the prince.... Throughout history, the successful emperors have created a foundation, but they are still frightened because what they are uneasy is that their descendants cannot inherit the throne, and the prince has a loving heart. This is exactly what I am pleased with. All the ministers should learn more from the prince."

Fang Xuanling and others smiled bitterly, but hurriedly said: "Abide by the order."

Li Shimin was obviously exhausted, so he ordered his ministers to retreat.

Chen Zhengtai originally wanted to go home with Princess Sui'an, but Li Xiurong still had some official duties in Luan Pavilion, so he left the palace with Li Chengqian, who had already lost his country.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to demolish the city wall, but because of your highness's business, right?"

"Nonsense." Li Chengqian defended: "I am the people's concerns. People have so many inconveniences when entering and leaving the city, so I see it..."

Chen Zhengtai smiled.

Li Chengqian said instead: "You really kill Hou Junji, and then Hou Junji is also a brave general. How could he kill him just by saying that?"

"It was not me who killed him, it was Xue Rengui. I admire Hou Junji very highly. How could I know that he is so useless?"

Li Chengqian sighed: "I really didn't expect that he would rebel. When I heard the news, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. On weekdays, he swears how loyal and reliable he is, and his son-in-law and his daughter..."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head, revealing a bit of incredible appearance.

Which of the people who are accompanying Li Chengqian is not a loyal face in front of him?

What's more, old fried dough sticks like Hou Junji are not something Li Chengqian can easily see through.

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "There are all people in the world, and your highness doesn't have to think too much about it."

Li Chengqian said: "Maybe you are the second Hou Junji."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Then, Li Chengqian laughed: "You are not Hou Junji. You are much cunning than him. You are so bad that you can see through you. It can be seen that you are not like him, but you are like a traitor! You are like a traitor!"

"hehe……"

Chen Zhengtai responded to him with a sneer.

"Yes." Li Chengqian put away his smile: "You want to conquer Goguryeo, what can I do?"

"Can't say it." Chen Zhengtai kept silent.

"Stingy." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"It's not stingy." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "I can do some things, but you can't. You are still the prince. You are still the prince. If you think about military merits, the whole world will be yours in the future. What you want to do now is to be your wise prince and stay in the East Palace to study every day. If you make military merits, even if Your Majesty has no idea, if a villain comes to His Majesty to spread trouble, that's not good. I'm for your own good."

This is the truth.

The father and son are suspicious of this problem, which has always been a big problem for hundreds of years, and Li Tang even pushed this trick to the peak.

It’s okay for you, Li Chengqian, to kill anything, just don’t get involved in the military affairs.

Li Chengqian nodded seriously: "I naturally know that I am not stupid. Alas... I just don't know how many years I will be the prince."

Chen Zhengtai said this and stood up. He hurriedly looked around and confirmed that there was no one around: "Why did your highness say this? How dare you say such words?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Just just kidding. I heard Hou Junji rebelling. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say anything to anyone in the East Palace. I always felt that the people around me were not very reliable. It's rare that you can come back. I can vent my feelings. You are better. The older you are, the more cautious you are."

Chen Zhengtai said: "I am afraid that people will know, as if we are engaged in a conspiracy."

"We're going to do this again." Li Chengqian sneered: "Do you think Gu is having something with you?"

Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend, I'll say goodbye, I'll say goodbye!"

Li Chengqian smiled. At this time, the two of them left the hall. He turned over and said, "No matter what, I am very happy to see you come back. At first, my father brought his troops out of the pass, but Gu was still strange. Later, it was rumored that Hou Junji had rebelled, which scared Gu, for fear that you would have made mistakes. Now seeing you come back safely, it is really touching. If you are gone in this world and Gu will be the emperor in the future, I am afraid it will be no good. After all, Gu will see you grow up."

Chen Zhengtai responded: "I said it wrong, I saw that your highness grew up."

"Anyway, I'm looking at each other." Li Chengqian said: "It's even! I'll go back to the East Palace and continue to be my foolish prince. We'll have a date later."

Farewell to Li Chengqian and returned to the Chen family. Someone in the mansion had known that Chen Zhengtai was back. A whole family came to see him one after another. The third uncle was even more nervous and said happily: "You can rest assured when Zhengtai comes back. Our Chen family is pointing at you. You can't make any mistakes. I heard that Gaochang made a fortune?"

The third uncle has grown much older, his hair is gray, and his face is like elm bark, but now he is red and full of energy.
