Chapter 011: The Emperor's Family Has No Money
"There is another strategy, what is the fourth strategy?" Li Shimin asked impatiently.
Chai Lingwu said: "From the eternal lessons of 'talking about war on paper', we can see that actual combat is a very important thing." Chai Lingwu paused and continued: "But the world of Tang Dynasty is peaceful, and there will be no war in the short term. In peaceful times, how can the army maintain high morale and fierce combat power forever?"
"My prescription is to hold military exercises for this issue."
"The military exercise means taking out two teams to compete in a strange environment. In this way, we can test tactics and tactics, test the training results of soldiers, test the command ability and adaptability of generals, test the scouts' intelligence inquiry, infiltration ability, and test the degree of cooperation of reinforcements."
"In addition to being able to train troops and generals, we can also achieve the effect of deterring the alien races around us. At the same time, we can also make our Tang people feel the military power of our Tang Dynasty and make them proud of our Tang Dynasty! Let them know that our Tang army has the ability to protect them at all times."
After roughly talking about the benefits of the 'military exercise', Chai Lingwu told him all the knowledge about the military exercises in his heart.
Suddenly, a set of unprecedented military exercises that were unprecedented and unprecedented were presented to Li Shimin.
"Good idea!" Li Shimin moved Chai Lingwu's "strange ideas" again.
Military exercises were not unfamiliar with him. The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to military preparations. Li Shimin would occasionally check the practice status of each army to ensure that the power of the Tang Dynasty was not reduced.
It’s just that the military exercises that Chai Lingwu said involve more inspection subjects.
"The top-down Lingyan Pavilion, which sucks talented martial arts, benefits the martial arts academy, and the final military exercises. Is it a good way to govern the army and strengthen the army."
Li Shimin looked excited and was extremely satisfied with the four strategies that Chai Lingwu offered. He thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget about the military exercises, I will write down this strategy first and put it forward when the right time."
He sighed regretfully, feeling sad and unwilling.
"Why?" Chai Lingwu was very confused. Good proposals should naturally be implemented immediately. What is the opportunity to go out of time?
"My uncle is worried that those old stubborn people who are specializing in pulling their backs said that they are exhausting the people and losing money, and they are in a state of war. Then he said that you are Yang Guangsecond, who will die in a war."
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is one of the most fundamental reasons are that the treasury is empty, I have no money, and the country has no money. Although military exercises are good, it is necessary, but the financial resources consumed and the people's strength are also quite large. Where do you ask me to pay?"
"No?" Chai Lingwu said in a daze: "Didn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty is developing rapidly? As for being so poor?"
"What do you think?" Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "The Tang Dynasty took over a mess. After the founding of the country, it fought wars for years. It was not until the Turks were destroyed last year that it was a real cession. The only little bit left was left, just in case, I dare not move at all."
After hearing Li Shimin's bitterness, Chai Lingwu realized that the Tang Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty in Zhenguan were so poor.
"This great victory in annihilation of the Turks has already achieved the magnificent Tang Dynasty that is invincible in the world. In the next ten years, no jealous will dare to offend our great Tang Dynasty. Within ten years, these iron-blooded veterans can still go to the battlefield. It is not too late to do this military exercise when they breathe!"
The significance of the Tang Dynasty killing the Turks is like General Peng defeating the American coalition forces on the "Goguryeo" Peninsula, achieving a deterrence of the slut and gaining a valuable respite.
Chai Lingwu continued: "Within ten years, the veterans are still there. Although the veterans are old, my father and generals such as Li Ji, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Xue brothers, Zhang Shigui, Li Junxian can still lead troops to fight. At the same time, a new generation of heroes also stood out from the martial arts and martial arts academy. There was a real war, which was just enough to achieve the goal of leading the new with the old."
After hearing this, Li Shimin slapped his thighs suddenly and said with a smile: "You and I have gone together."
"Your four powerful military strategies are no less than four great victories. How do you think I should appreciate you?" Li Shimin looked at Chai Lingwu's eyes, and the meaning of appreciation in his eyes was self-evident.
"My uncle's family is so poor that he can't get rid of the blame. Forget the reward, if he gets hungry, I will feel sorry for him!" Chai Lingwu said, shaking his head and raised his eyebrows, and squinted his eyes...
"Fart!" Li Shimin was furious: "Changle is my dear. No matter how poor I am, I will not be hungry for my children."
"I am not the kind of foolish monarch who rewards and punishes unknown. Since you have made contributions, you have to ask for this reward even if you don't want it."
"You should keep this to reward to other ministers. After all, we are all our own people, and this is too outspoken." Chai Lingwu said with understanding.
Seeing his expression, Li Shimin became even more angry: "I am the emperor, and there are rare treasures in the palace."
If someone knows that a dignified emperor cannot even bring out the gifts that reward meritorious officials, what if it is?
Things have developed to this point, and it is not a reward at all! This is related to reputation!
"You have offered four great suggestions! I will reward you with four treasures." Li Shimin was angry and also revealed the word "I" and he said loudly: "Stop your boy from looking down on me!"
"It is better to gather all the most precious treasures in the world than Changle. You have given me the best one, so let it go this time?" Chai Lingwu frowned.
"With that being said, one code is one code, you must have these four treasures!"
"I just don't want it!"
"If you don't want it, I will send you three to Lingnan!" Li Shimin threatened fiercely. This tone almost made him faint, and he had to let it go!
"Okay!" Under such a powerful threat, Chai Lingwu finally let go and surrendered...
"You know what you are interested in." Li Shimin, who was full of control, was finally satisfied.
Chai Lingwu was also satisfied, and he changed to four!
Can you not be satisfied?
A chuckle suddenly came from the side.
After Li Shimin finished his battle, Chai Lingwu turned his head and looked at him. He happened to see Empress Changsun standing on the corridor not far away with her, her eyes bent into a crescent shape and her shoulders kept shaking.
The uncle and nephew were so quarrel that their mother and daughter were nearby, so they naturally listened to the farce.
One forced the reward, the other refused to retreat, which made her very happy.
"Tell me! What four treasures do you want? You must take them away today." Li Shimin said proudly.
Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel even more happy when she saw that Li Shimin had not yet come back to her senses.
As a couple for many years, how could she not know that her husband is showing off to her?
In private, this emperor often does something childish. When he is attacked by Wei Zheng in the court, he will run to her and clamor to kill Wei Zheng, a country bumpkin."
If Li Shimin wanted to kill Wei Zheng, even if Wei Zheng had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut him. However, Li Shimin did not kill him, but ran to Empress Changsun to sulk. In fact, it was no different from the child being wronged and running to the closest person to talk to him.
"Lingwu, your uncle always has a word. Just speak whatever you want!" Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"It's the queen who understands me." Li Shimin smiled.
"I have already picked it up. Uncle Xie rewarded it." Chai Lingwu picked four fruits from the fruit plate, and then distributed them to the three of the Li family one by one, leaving one for himself, just enough to get the score.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and the little loli were stunned by it!
"Stupid brat!" Li Shimin laughed and scolded.
He had come to his senses, but the four strategies that Chai Lingwu offered were indeed worthy of reward, so he did not have the slightest desire to regret.
Who would have thought that after a long time of trouble, Chai Lingwu only picked four fruits. Isn’t this a trick to him? However, he was not angry about Chai Lingwu’s heartwarming behavior.
Empress Changsun said wonderingly: "Lingwu, what great achievements have been made?" But she said this, but she became embarrassed.
After being the queen for several years, she never asked about political affairs or participated in political affairs, but she spoke quickly because of her curiosity. She paused and smiled bitterly: "You think I didn't ask."
"What's the matter? You're so careful." Li Shimin respected and loved Empress Changsun. In his heart, he was an irreplaceable close relative.
Although Li Shimin had "my illness", the only person who had real feelings was Empress Changsun, who shared the joys and sorrows. She had full trust in her and immediately told Empress Changsun about the cause and effect of the matter.
Finally, he smiled and said, "These four strategies are good strategies for strengthening the army that will benefit thousands of years. Unfortunately... this strategy of military exercises is not useful now."
Li Shimin never forgets military exercises.
If the national treasury is rich, he can survive the battle of killing all sides in military exercises.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun kept praising Chai Lingwu for being capable and capable. She was a famous general with far-scheming, familiarity with military affairs, unlimited potential, smart and witty, and both civil and military. She was as versatile as his uncle Li Shimin, and at the same time encouraged him to learn from Li Shimin.
Chai Lingwu's face turned red by being praised.
Li Shimin smiled and felt relieved in his heart. He felt that Empress Changsun was praising herself: "Well... this is true, but this kid is still far from me, less than one ten thousandth of what I am."
Chai Lingwu's mouth twitched. He had seen narcissistic people, but had never seen any narcissistic people.
If you have the ability, why didn’t you come up with four strategies for strengthening the army? If you have the original intention, why did you still be poor?
"As for military affairs, I have passed the test without any sloppy, and calligraphy is OK. I just don't know how your kid's literary talent is? I'm going to test you." Li Shimin twisted his beard and smiled, as if he wanted to be a role model.
Chai Lingwu was speechless. His uncle really regarded him as a prop to pick up girls and wife.
Hum, hum! You go to your wife, I go to my little loli, we go to each other and don’t interfere with each other.
He frowned, pretended to think for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I have it!"
"So fast?" Empress Changsun was surprised.
"My poem is written for Lingyan Pavilion, and it also shows my ambitions. It is also to inspire the Tang Dynasty men to join the army."
Li Shimin was quite looking forward to it: "Let me read it quickly."
Li Shimin chanted: "Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan Mountain? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, as a scholar, a marquis of ten thousand households."
"What a poem! What a sentence, 'Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan Mountains.' Good sentence, 'Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, like a scholar and a marquis of thousands of households!" Li Shimin's mind was shaken, and he recalled the days when he was in turmoil in the world and his years of golden swords and iron horses, and he was very excited.
This generous and heroic poem seems to fall from the sky, without obscure words or obscene allusions, and only heroic and grand manners that express one's thoughts.
Even Queen Changsun, the little loli could still feel the majestic and domineering spirit of the golden swords and iron horses, and they all suddenly felt excited and fierce!
The little loli's eyes were full of little stars shining, and her expression was full of admiration.
Chai Lingwu was proud and satisfied.
Look at who has become whose props now.
Li Shimin finished feeling and was dissatisfied. Because his wife and daughter left after seeing the "props".
