Chapter 236: Prince Lu Chengzu

In the Kunning Palace, on a huge rectangular table, seven people, Lu Zhaoci's father and son, were sitting, headed by the crown prince Lu Chengzu and the eldest son Lu Chengsi. They were sitting on both sides, while on the other side were sitting the Queen Cui Yingying and other concubines.

There are Princess Lu Shanshan of Yuzhang and Princess Lu Rongrong of Jinyang. This is when Lu Zhaoci gathered his family to have dinner together before going on an expedition.

"I will go on an expedition tomorrow. Although I have ordered the prince to supervise the country, the eldest son and the second son should also be more skilled in government affairs on weekdays so that they can help the prince in the future. You must know that this world will not only be the prince's world in the future, but also your world.

Brothers working together can cut through metal. Although the world is at peace, foreign troubles are still there. Perhaps secretly, there are still many people thinking about how to seize my Lu family. If you work together, you will be like the Li family back then.

The son wins over the legitimate son. In the end, the outsider gets the advantage."

"Father's teachings, sons and ministers, please remember." Lu Chengzu and others stood up one after another and said loudly. No matter how fierce these people fought in private, in front of Lu Zhaoci, they showed a brotherly harmony.

The appearance comes.

"Chengsi, you are now ten years old and have practiced martial arts well, but you cannot slack off in studying. Especially that word. Didn't Yu Shinan teach you well? When I come back, I want to see you.

Have your words improved?" Lu Zhaoci pointed at Lu Chengsi and said.

"My child, I obey." Lu Chengsi's mouth grew longer, but it was clear that he had something to say.

"Why, tell me what you have to say." Lu Zhaoci saw clearly and said with a smile.

"Father, I want to go to the battlefield with you this time." Lu Chengsi knelt down and said, "I want to see how our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty charge into battle."

"Going to the battlefield?" Lu Zhaoci looked at the princes, then at the concubines in the harem on one side, and finally landed on Lu Chengsi. After a while, he said: "You are brave, but it is still a little early.

Later! Later! Get up, get up."

"Yes!" Lu Chengsi showed a hint of reluctance on his face.

"Okay, okay, let's eat!" Lu Zhaoci said, waving the chopsticks in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial presented by Xuande Palace." At this time, Qin Jiudao carefully presented a memorial.

"Oh!" Lu Zhaoci wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, stretched out his hand to take the memorial, opened it and took a look. His expression changed, he sighed slightly, and then said to the scholars around him: "You guys use it first!

Father is already full. Keep going!" By the time he said the last sentence, he had already left the main hall of Kunning Palace.

"Okay, I'm tired too, sisters, please go ahead!" Cui Yingying said lightly. As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the inner hall. The other emperors left, and the queen

The empress also left. She didn't have any thoughts about having a meal, but she followed closely behind and dispersed one after another.

"Humph, brother, you are so ambitious! It's good now. I'll make my father angry." King Lu Ke of Shu looked gloomy, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, and sneered: "You actually want to go to the battlefield at such a young age.

, and not afraid of embarrassment.”

"A good man should fight bravely on the battlefield. Whatever my fault, at least I am more upright than those who hide in the dark and plot against people." Lu Chengsi fired back.

"Who do you think likes to plot people behind their backs?" Lu Ke's expression changed drastically and he stood up, staring coldly at Lu Chengsi.

"Whoever stands up is who?" Lu Chengsi didn't put Lu Ke in his eyes at all, and snorted coldly: "Father acts upright and aboveboard. Looking at you, I really don't know if you are the father of your father!"

"Brother, what you said is a bit disrespectful. Aren't you afraid that your father will blame you? You must know that the second brother, my father has personally admitted that he is of royal blood. Aren't you doubting your father by saying this? Isn't this true?

Is this what the Son of Man did?" The speaker was Lu Chengtai, King of Wu. He and Lu Ke were brothers from the same father and mother. They were fond of reading...

"Okay, don't say anything anymore." Prince Lu Chengzu lightly glared at everyone and said, "Father just now told us to work together. Why are we fighting with each other over a trivial matter today? Brother, we have to fight hard on the battlefield.

It's a good thing. We should be happy. The second brother is good at doing chivalry. People in Chang'an City say that the second brother is the king of chivalry. This is also a blessing for my royal family. My father is also very happy after hearing this. Shiro is good at studying.

, we must learn the ways of saints, only in this way can we educate the world and promote the reputation of our royal family. The other brothers must also follow the example of these elders, so as not to cause the disaster of Xiao Qiang." Lu Chengzu is only six years old now, but

The words came out of his mouth so naturally. It was as if these words were born from him. There was a hint of majesty on his young face, and the expressions of everyone who heard it changed, whether they were older people or older people.

Still young people, all bowed their heads and said nothing, and all obeyed orders.

"Your Highness, what you said is true." Lu Chengsi said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands. There was a hint of respect in his expression.

"My brother, I would like to follow the teachings of His Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Ke's face was not pretty, and he lowered his head, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Brother, please remember the teachings of His Highness the Crown Prince." Chengtai, Chengxun, Chenglie and others also nodded to show their compliance with His Highness the Crown Prince. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, they didn't know.

"Okay, that's it for today! It's all gone!" A gentle smile appeared on Lu Chengzu's face, he waved lightly, and his slightly thin figure walked towards the back hall. Behind him, the princes all

They breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and returned to their previous appearance.

"My sons pay homage to my mother." In the back hall of Kunning Palace, Cui Yingying was graceful and dignified. She was sitting on the dressing table and slowly took off the jewelry on her head. Her expression was extremely elegant.

"They are all gone?" Cui Yingying asked calmly.

"Everyone who went back to the Queen has left, and the children have returned to them according to the Queen's instructions. Queen, you are really amazing. Your words really scared them so much that they didn't dare to speak." Lu Chengzu showed a hint of joy on his face.

"It's not your mother who teaches you, it's your father who is establishing authority for you." Cui Yingying sighed deeply and said: "You are cowardly by nature. You are not destined to be a prince. It was just what happened back then that forced your father to do so."

Only then did you become the crown prince. But once the crown prince is deposed, it will not only affect the country, but also your life. Therefore, although your father is unwilling, he still considers you, creates conditions for you, establishes majesty, and more

What's more, this time your father wants to lead the expedition in person, and the court wants to keep you as a prisoner, which is why today's drama is happening. That's all my father can help you. From now on, it's up to you."

"My son, I understand." Although Lu Chengzu said it clearly, his eyes were full of confusion. Cui Yingying could see it clearly, and when she saw this, she was stunned and sighed deeply.

"I heard that your uncle has been visiting your place a lot recently?" Cui Yingying asked again.

"Yes! My uncle is very kind to me. By the way, Queen Mother, I also met my cousin Jiaojiao." Lu Chengzu's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, how about letting Jiaojiao be my child's crown princess in the future?"

"Shut up!" Cui Yingying slammed the jade comb in her hand on the dressing table and snorted coldly: "You are so young, and at this time, your main priority is studying. How could you think of such a thing?"

"Mother, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when she was even younger than a child, there was a story about Jiaojiao hidden in a golden house! In the future, the child will imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and marry Jiaojiao as the princess, and then build a big golden house for her. , let him live." Lu Chengzu's eyes showed a trace of longing.

"The beauty hidden in the golden house, you know the beauty hidden in the golden house at a young age." Cui Yingying touched her forehead and said: "Is this what Kong Yinda has given you? Hum, I will naturally settle the score with him tomorrow and tell you about Chengzu , I’d better have less contact with your uncle in the future! You should concentrate on studying and learning the ways of saints. As for the Crown Princess, you are still young, so naturally your father and mother will consider these things for you. Okay, you go back and rest first!" ….

"Yes! Queen Mother!" Lu Chengzu reluctantly followed the palace maid out of Kunning Palace.

"Hey!" A soft sigh sounded in the palace. Cui Yingying frowned, but she didn't know what to do. She was also a smart person, so how could she not know Master Cui Ren's plan to completely tie the prince to Guandong? On the chariot of the aristocratic family. It was for what happened a hundred years later for Lu Zhaoci. But then again, she knew the person beside her better. If Lu Chengzu was really close to the Guandong aristocratic family, or to various aristocratic families, this prince She couldn't keep her position. What's more, as the princes grew up, she didn't know how many storms they would face in the future.

"Where has your Majesty gone?" Cui Yingying suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty has gone to the Changchun Palace." Qiu'er, the maid next to her, said cautiously: "Empress, I heard that the cost of Changchun Palace has increased greatly recently. It seems that Concubine Jing is not the only one who uses it. There is another person inside."

"Who?" Cui Yingying raised her eyes and asked coldly.

"I heard that Princess Dong'a often comes to the palace." The palace maid Qiu'er did not dare to neglect and said quickly and carefully.

"Princess Dong'a Yang? She seems to be the clan sister of Concubine Jing!" Cui Yingying sighed deeply and said: "Tomorrow, I will pass on my decree and let Princess Dong'a be Jieyu and enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion!"

"Empress, what if Your Majesty doesn't have this intention? What's more, once this Yang Jieyu enters the palace, and she and Concubine Jing have a good relationship, what will happen in the future?" Qiu'er said cautiously.

"Go if you are told." Cui Yingying sighed deeply. The emperor had seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards. Now, although the number of people in Lu Zhaoci's harem has increased somewhat, they are still very few. Cui Yingying is the queen. The most important thing is not to be jealous. Once you commit this taboo, you are not far away from being deposed. But you can't blindly attract women for the emperor. The most important thing is a question of degree. Being a woman is difficult, It's even harder to be the emperor's woman.

***************************

On the official road of Shengshu, a team stretched for dozens of miles. This team was different from other teams. Each of them was a tall Kansai man, with a strong body. Each of them was riding a horse. More importantly,

Behind them, there were hundreds of carriages. The carriages were moving slowly, followed closely behind them, but they didn't know what they were pulling.

"Your Majesty, I also want to see how powerful the Modao Team is. Hehe, this secret came out too early. If we wait a few more years, our army will have tens of thousands of Modao Team. Hehe, that momentum,

I'm afraid Jie Li will faint from fear if he doesn't fight after seeing this." He Bao said with a smile while riding on his horse.

"Ten Thousands of Mo Dao Team, He Bao, you are too naive. Although the Mo Dao Team is very powerful and is a more powerful unit that can restrain cavalry, it also has weaknesses. First of all, those tens of kilograms of iron armor are what everyone can do.

It can be worn, and the sharp long knife must not only be sharp, but more importantly, it must have a certain weight, so that it can be easily split open by people and horses. Such people are difficult to find.

Yes, your Majesty has been searching in Kansai for a long time in the past few years, and only then did he have the five thousand Mo swordsmen today. These five thousand people are enough to withstand tens of thousands of cavalry." Zuo Tunwei General Chang He said with a smile.

This team was led by Lu Zhaoci personally and went to Shengzhou to support Li Jing's Modao Team. A few years ago, after Jieli's army moved south for the first time, Lu Zhaoci began to look for a weapon to deal with Jieli's cavalry. Modao Team

This is one of them. The five thousand Mo Swordsmen are all Kansai men. They are powerful, tall and strong. They are natural Mo Swordsmen. If Li Jing's army had not been worried about heavy losses this time, Lu Zhaoci might have

He will not easily touch Mo Dao Shou, who is not easy to train.

"There are no secrets in the world. Although Mo Dao is powerful, once he fights with the opponent, the first appearance on the battlefield will certainly arouse the opponent's fear, but the second time will not necessarily be the same." Lu Zhao

Ci said softly: "However, if we can annihilate Jieli's hundreds of thousands of troops this time, it will not be a loss." Lu Zhaoci never thought about how long Mo Dao, a sharp weapon, could be concealed, but no matter how long it was concealed,

Appearing on the battlefield for the first time in a long time can still put huge pressure on the opponent. What's more, the opponent has also dispatched tens of thousands of troops this time, which is still very cost-effective...

"Your Majesty, the general and his generals are waiting in front to greet you!" He Bao's sharp eyes saw a shadowy figure not far away in front of him. The leader was a man with white hair and a silver beard, a tall figure, eyes like lightning, and a majestic face. Who else could he be if he wasn't Li Jing?

.Behind him, dozens of generals lined up on the left and right, extremely majestic and enviable.

"The last general, Li Jing, pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty." Li Jing saw Lu Zhaoci from a distance wearing gold armor and holding a Fangtian painted halberd. He quickly took a few steps forward and bowed to the ground.

"Brother Jing, please get up." Lu Zhaoci jumped off the horse, threw Fang Tian's painted halberd to He Bao aside, helped Li Jing up, patted Li Jing's hands and said: "Brother Jing, this

This time I made a mistake and came to take your position as general."

"My incompetence caused me to lose Shengzhou, and your Majesty has to come in person." Li Jing's voice was a little low.

"This is not the fault of the general, don't take it to heart." Lu Zhaoci laughed and said: "Although Shengzhou is lost, it can still be regained. This time I sent troops to the general. Look, I

But even the family wealth has been sent to the general. General, you can’t let me down this time!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Li Jing looked at the five thousand swordsmen behind Lu Zhaoci and saw their majestic appearance. He felt happy in his heart and could not hide the envy in his eyes.

Come on. As a commander-in-chief, if you want to use your talents, you must have the trust of the king, so that you can use your talents without worries, and secondly, you must have elite soldiers. Li Jing is not lacking in the first point, and

Later, although the army of the Tang Dynasty were all elite soldiers, when they saw the Mo Dao team, they knew that the elite soldiers in the past were just paper. I am afraid they are not their enemies together. Even famous generals like Li Jing saw it very seriously.

admire.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that no one in the world can be better than your Majesty in training elite soldiers. When will I learn this training method, I will die in peace." Luo Shixin also looked at the five thousand strong men in front of him in surprise. These people are not only

They were strong, tall, and powerful, and more importantly, the aura of these people was, to be precise, a chilling aura. This was what still surprised me.
