Chapter 100 The Importance of Elite Soldiers
When Xuanwumen happened, Li Chengqian was only eight years old. Although the ancients were precocious, at that time he didn't really understand the pros and cons of it.
As he grew older and became more sensible, Li Shimin's love for Li Tai felt like a thorn in his heart.
He often wonders if what happened back then will happen to him?
He did not expect that the secret hidden in his heart would be revealed by Lin Xuan in a single word.
"Gu is worried about this!" Li Chengqian said in a hoarse voice.
Now that Lin Xuan has spoken out, he has no intention of continuing to hide it.
Anyway, there were only the two of them here, and he would not admit it when he left this gate. He believed that this was the reason why Lin Xuan dared to talk about Xuanwu Gate with him.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty was forced by Prince Yin to do such a thing, but after all, it was a bad start. Only when the throne is passed on to you can Datang get on the right track. So you just need to be careful If you want to be your prince, His Majesty will have no other ideas." Lin Xuan said.
Although he felt that Li Shimin's killing his brother and imprisoning his father must have something to do with his ambition, but he dared not say this to Li Chengqian.
"But what about Qingque Xuefu Huang?" This is what Li Chengqian is most worried about.
Lin Xuan smiled disdainfully: "Do you think everyone has the talents of His Majesty? Besides, does King Wei have military power?"
This is not flattery, no matter what method Li Shimin used, later generations will have mixed reviews on him.But there is no denying his ability.
Li Tai, that little fat man, is far worse than Li Shimin.
Besides, if Li Shimin hadn't been in command of the army for many years, and his prestige in the army was even higher than that of Li Yuan, he would not have succeeded.
Lin Xuan's words made Li Chengqian suddenly realize that, yes, it is most suitable for Datang to be handed over to him.
"Since that's the case, why does Emperor Father love Qingque so much?" Li Chengqian asked.
Lin Xuan also disagreed with Li Shimin's actions. Since the crown prince has been appointed, he should no longer favor Li Tai.Because the position of the crown prince is very important, there are many examples of the chaos in the historical dynasty coming from the crown prince. As long as the position of the crown prince is loose, there will be civil strife in the dynasty.Li Shimin must understand that as an emperor, he must ensure the stability of the crown prince, and everyone, including his own brothers, must respect the crown prince.But Li Shimin just likes Li Tai too much, which not only creates a false appearance for Li Chengqian, but also makes Li Tai ambitious.
Lin Xuan explained: "You and the king of Wei are both His Majesty's sons. How can a father not like his own child? But you are the prince, the future emperor. Of course, His Majesty has strict requirements on you, but King Wei is different."
Li Chengqian also felt that what Lin Xuan said made sense, nodded, and asked, "Since you also think they can't affect Gu's position, why don't you want to help Gu?"
This is exactly what he couldn't figure out, he thought that Lin Xuan didn't like him.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, you are the prince. You only need to complete the tasks that His Majesty told you, and you don't need to do other things at all. If you do more and make more mistakes, it's good not to do it. Why attract so many people? Unless you Want to rebel!"
Li Chengqian panicked, and quickly said: "No, no, how could Gu rebel? I just feel that I am not capable enough, and I want to find some people to assist Gu."
Lin Xuan took a serious look at Li Chengqian, and found that he did not seem to be lying. It seems that he really has no intention of rebelling now.
History does not know what stimulated him to think of rebellion.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is in the prime of his life now, what would you think if you win over your courtiers? You need someone to help you, so you might as well listen to the opinions of the teachers that His Majesty arranged for you. Those people are all talents carefully selected by His Majesty. It is very good to assist the prince." Lin Xuan said.
It can be said that Li Shimin put a lot of effort into training Li Chengqian. Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others successively served as Li Chengqian's assistant ministers. Zhou also often went to the East Palace to reason with Li Chengqian.
These people are all famous figures in history, and they didn't teach Li Chengqian well, so that he finally rebelled. Lin Xuan felt that Li Chengqian must not listen to them at all.
Those people are capable, but what can Li Chengqian do if he doesn't listen to them?
After all, Li Chengqian is the king, and they are ministers.
Li Chengqian was thoughtful, what Lin Xuan said had shocked him too much, but he felt that what Lin Xuan said was very reasonable.
Lin Xuan stood up and said: "Your Highness, this is all I have said, and it can be regarded as repaying His Highness's kindness. The rest is up to Your Highness. I will leave!"
After speaking, Lin Xuan didn't give Li Chengqian a chance to stay, and left directly.
He said what he should have said and what he should not have said. If these words were spread, ten times would not be enough for him to die.
If Li Chengqian still doesn't understand, there's nothing he can do.
……
Cheng Chumo and the others left the palace without going to drink.
They are here to thank Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan himself is not here, what's the point of them all going?
Cheng Chumo returned home and gave Cheng Yaojin what Lin Xuan had given him.
When Cheng Yaojin heard that Lin Xuan had given it to him, he immediately unfolded it and looked at it.
The more I read it, the more I feel that the method of training troops written by Lin Xuan is very wonderful. Although he has not tried it yet, he has led the army for so many years, and he can tell at a glance that this method is very feasible.
"Wonderful, really wonderful, soldiers can still train like this!" Cheng Yaojin exclaimed after reading it.
"Father, show me!" Cheng Chumo said curiously.
After Lin Xuan gave it to him, he hasn't seen it yet.
"Look carefully, if you can learn this, plus the art of war that father taught you, not to mention making meritorious deeds, it will be no problem to keep this family business." Cheng Yaojin said earnestly.
Now that he is an extremely powerful minister, he has no other demands on Cheng Chumo, as long as he can keep the family business.
"Father, this method is good, but it requires many years of training. The Tang Dynasty is all soldiers, so there is no way to use it." Cheng Chumo said.
The Tang Dynasty practiced the government military system, fighting in wartime and farming in leisure time.
Of course, there will be some standing troops left, but these troops also need to be rotated.
Usually rotate every few months, and the former soldiers will go home for a few months.
Cheng Yaojin nodded approvingly, and said: "You see the problem is right, more than that, this training method consumes a lot. According to Lin Xuan's writing, soldiers have a lot of training every day, and they need to supplement meat every day to survive. Stick to it."
Cheng Chumo looked at his father suspiciously. Since there are so many shortcomings, why do you still praise this training method?
Cheng Yaojin sighed, although Cheng Chumo had been carefully taught by him, he was still young after all.
"Ugly cow, although this method cannot be popularized in the whole army, it can train elite soldiers all the time. Just think about the Xuanjia Army and you will know how effective elite soldiers are." Cheng Yaojin explained.
Xuanjia Army?
Cheng Chumo was startled, this was the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty, back then His Majesty only led 3500 men, and defeated Dou Jiande's [-] army, one can imagine how powerful it is.
"Father, I understand." Cheng Chumo nodded.
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, then you go out first, father is going to write a memorial, report this matter to His Majesty."
