In the Imperial Palace!
Li Shi Min calmed his anger and called Wang De over. He asked,"Did you find out where those cavalrymen are?”
"Your Majesty, the Yuan Cong Imperial Army is investigating, but there is no news yet.”
Wang De said.
When Li Yuan ascended the throne, he disbanded many soldiers, leaving only 30,000 elite soldiers to guard the Imperial City. This army was under the direct control of the Emperor and could not be mobilized by anyone.
"It's been so long, but you still haven't found any news?”
Li Shi Min's expression was a bit ugly, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.
In order to win over the Yuancong Imperial Army, Li Yuan had not only given them titles, but he had also made it clear that sons could inherit their father's position. As a result, the Yuancong Imperial Army was also known as the father-son army. Many of the veterans had already left, and most of the current Yuancong Imperial Army were their descendants.
Due to the special position of the Yuancong Imperial Army, they did not participate in any war. The Tang Empire was now strong and no enemy could attack Chang 'an. This also caused the Yuancong Imperial Army to become a disorganized army and lose its former prestige.
Wang De lowered his head and said nothing. He could hear Li Shiming's dissatisfaction with the Yuan Cong Imperial Army, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
"One hundred thousand cavalrymen. With them around, how can I sleep peacefully?”
Li Shiming looked outside Chang 'an City and said faintly.
How can others sleep on the couch?
With such a cavalry that could massacre Chang 'an at any time, Li Shiming would not be able to sleep peacefully until he finished them off. Otherwise, who could guarantee that he would not wake up with a knife to his throat?
........
The Wei Manor!
Li Tai was already an adult, so he should have gone to his fief. However, Li Shimin doted on him very much and allowed him to stay in Chang 'an by force. It was this love that made Li Tai develop thoughts that he should not have. He wanted to be the Crown Prince and become the future ruler of the Tang Empire.
"Why is father treating me like this?"
Li Tai returned to the Prince of Wei's residence in a daze.
"Your Highness!"
When the two servants at the door saw Li Tai's bruised face, they were shocked. They couldn't believe that the person in front of them was their prince.
"Get lost!"
Li Tai waved his hand and pushed the two servants away. He walked into the manor with a gloomy expression.
"What's going on?"
The two servants looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
In the study room!
Li Tai locked himself up. In this sealed space, he could no longer hold back his emotions. He hugged his head and cried,"Imperial Father, your son was beaten up. Why don't you uphold justice for me?”
The pain in his body couldn't compare to the pain in Li Tai's heart.
........
The night was silent!
The next morning.
Li Shiming had been waiting for news from the Yuan Cong Imperial Army for an entire night, but in the end, he had received nothing. He yawned repeatedly, his eyes red, but even so, he still went to court on time.
Other factors aside, Li Shiming was undoubtedly qualified as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived.”
Wang De walked up to Li Shi Min and said.
"Okay, let's go."
Li Shi Min nodded and headed to Taiji Palace.
Taiji Palace!
The ministers stood in their respective positions, waiting for Li Shiming's arrival. Looking at their expressions, it was as if yesterday's incident had never happened.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Wang De shouted loudly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The ministers had serious expressions as they bowed and shouted,"Long live my emperor."
Li Shi Min walked to the throne and sat down. He waved his hand at the ministers and said,"There's no need to be so polite, dear ministers."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The ministers thanked him and stood up straight.
After some opening ceremonies, the court session officially began.
"Your Majesty, the Turks have been restless recently. They might pillage the south.”
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan King Langri Songzan has passed away. His son, Songzan Ganbu, has inherited the throne.”
"Your Majesty, the flood in Jiangnan must be relieved.”
“.......”
A group of ministers spoke up and told Li Shiming about this. This was a big matter that had to be told to the Emperor.
Next.
Li Shi Min and the ministers discussed these issues and came up with a solution.
For example, the Turks in the north were harassing them, so they could only be more vigilant. It was already late autumn, and it was clearly impossible to start a war now. They could only wait until spring. During this time, the Great Tang needed to prepare the provisions needed for war.
War was not child's play. One had to make sufficient preparations. For example, when an army was fighting outside, food and rations had to keep up. Otherwise, no matter how ferocious the army was, they would only be defeated and killed if they fought on an empty stomach.
After settling everything, Li Shiming was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and said,""My dear ministers, I have a happy news to tell you.”
"A happy occasion?"
Hearing Li Shi Min's words, the ministers were all stunned, their eyes filled with doubt.
Zhangsun Wu Ji looked at Li Shi Min's expression and thought about how Ye Feng had brought Wu Mei Niang to see him yesterday, his heart moved as he thought: ""Could it be the Crown Prince's marriage?"
"May I ask Your Majesty what good news it is?”
Wei Zheng asked with a smile.
Li Shi Min's eyes were indifferent as he said calmly,"The Crown Prince has grown up. Zhen has found a marriage for him, the daughter of the Wu family, Wu Meiniang.”
