"Then, there is one last question. Who am I and where am I from?”
After settling the first two matters, Xu Chen's heart was relieved as he said in a relaxed manner.
Who am I? I am your son!
Of course, he could only think about it in his heart. He definitely could not say it out loud. It was best to keep this identity a secret. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
As everyone knew, Li Tang's battle for the throne was the bloodiest and cruelest! He did not want to get involved. If he was forced to fight back, it would not be good if they were wiped out.
"Actually, this is what I'm most concerned about because you seem to have suddenly appeared.”
Li Shi Min stared at Xu Chen, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, even if Xu Chen said that he was sent by the heavens to help him, he would believe it!
"Hey, you're right. I just suddenly appeared.”
Xu Chen nodded in agreement. He had transmigrated in a daze and did not even know where he had come from.
Of course, Li Shi Min didn't believe this, so he had to use the same excuse again,
"I came from the mountains. I'm the only one left in the sect. I've learned all my skills and inherited the sect's will to serve China and strengthen China! This is why I want to help you. Because I think highly of you.”
Even if Xu Chen wasn't Li Shiming's son, he would still choose to help Li Shiming. Even if he had tampered with some of the historical records, Li Shiming was still stronger than Li Jiancheng.
If Li Shiming was the Crown Prince, wouldn't he be able to treat the two Princes well?
"Haha, it seems that I, Li Shiming, have some charm!”
Li Er laughed and waved his hand.
"Alright, alright. I don't want to delve into your background. For some reason, I trust you…Perhaps it was you who saved my life under those circumstances.”
He paused for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious. He said seriously,
"I haven't thought about your marquis title yet. Also, the wool processing machine and hybrid rice are too important. I need to discuss it with the prime ministers. Three days later, I'll send an envoy to summon you to the court before making a decision.”
He was not the kind of emperor who would do things with his brain. This concerned the lives of the world. He had to discuss with the think tanks below him and formulate the most perfect system.
Three days was already considered very fast.
"Alright, I can still have three more days.”
Xu Chen smiled and pointed at the teacup in Li Shiming's hand,
"Remember to promote Li Chunfeng. It's best if he can be my assistant…Oh right, this tea leaves are not bad.”
If he could get Li Chunfeng to come over, then he would have the confidence to invent anything he wanted. Wouldn't that be great?
He thought of a bunch of interesting things. With Li Shiming's support and Li Chunfeng's hands-on ability, it shouldn't be a problem to create them!
"Tea? This tea seems a little different…"
Li Shiming glanced at the porcelain bowl in front of him and clicked his tongue.
Just now, his entire mind was basically on Xu Chen, so he hadn't had a sip of tea until now. The tea was already a little cold, so he didn't need to blow it, and the entire bowl was sent into his mouth.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up as he praised,
"What kind of tea is this? It tastes bitter with a hint of sweetness, and it's incomparably refreshing. After drinking it, it's as if all my internal organs have been cleansed, and I feel great from my head to my heels!”
The high-quality oil tea that he drank every day was simply weak in front of Xu Chen's bowl of tea. He did not even know how many streets he had been left behind!
"This is Yuqian Longjing tea, a specialty of the Jiangnan area. It hasn't been planted on a large scale yet, so I only have this small bag.”
Xu Chen also drank the tea in his bowl and felt refreshed.
The good thing about this Longjing tea was that it could be tasted carefully or swallowed in one gulp. The feeling of the two was different!
If one tasted it carefully, there would be a lingering fragrance on one's lips and teeth. If one took a sip, one would feel comfortable. The higher the grade of Longjing tea, the more obvious this feeling would be.
"Alright, we're done chatting. I should go back.”
Li Shi Min also stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.
From the beginning to the end, he had always addressed Xu Chen as " I " instead of " I ". This kind of favor was not something that ordinary people could have!
Xu Chen nodded and followed Li Shiming out of the house. The scene in the courtyard was a little strange.
Xue Rengui stood there with a calm expression, while the High Dukes sat down with sweat all over their heads. They all had a worried look on their faces as they lowered their heads in deep thought, like a teacher teaching his students.
"This guerrilla warfare is nothing more than four strategies: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue! These sixteen words explain the mystery of guerrilla warfare. What do you think?”
Xue Rengui smiled proudly and read out the " 16-word rule of guerrilla warfare " that Xu Chen had taught him. All the High Dukes were shocked when they heard this!
"When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy stops, I harass. When the enemy is tired, I attack. When the enemy retreats, I pursue…Good, good!”
"How come I only know about such a superior art of war now! Aiyo, if they had known a few years ago, there probably wouldn't have been so many casualties!”
"Yeah, it's said that listening to you is better than reading ten years of books. I didn't believe it at first, but now, I believe it!”
"Enlightened, it's simply enlightened! If you let me lead the army now, I will definitely be able to win a perfect victory!”
The few founding generals discussed animatedly, their expressions excited. It was obvious that they had gained a lot. Even Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were deep in thought.
This 16-word secret was not only applicable on the battlefield, but also in the officialdom!
"Dukes, is there anything else you want to ask? Just tell me, I'll untie it for you all!”
Xue Rengui felt a great sense of accomplishment as he boasted.
In front of these generals, he was actually playing the role of a teacher. This feeling was really too good!
Li Shimin was speechless.
What was going on? Didn't they say that they were going to exchange pointers on military theory? This had become a one-sided teaching?
"Ahem, Rengui, did your master teach you the art of war so that you could show off your skills in front of the High Dukes?”
Xu Chen's expression was a little awkward. He quickly pretended to be serious and reprimanded,
"You don't look like a junior! All of you are the founding fathers of the Great Tang, so even if you want to impart theories, you have to lower your stance, understand?”
This kid was too outrageous! However, he liked it. Hehehe…
"Yes, Master."
When Xue Rengui heard Xu Chen's words, he immediately became listless. He bowed to the High Duke and said in a muffled voice,"
"Rengui has been rude. If you have any questions, please ask. Rengui will definitely tell you everything you know.”
The dukes were speechless.
They looked at each other, then at Xue Rengui, then at Xu Chen, then at themselves…
It felt like he had lived half his life in vain!
Why didn't the evaluation votes increase? I'm very anxious…
