In the royal study.
Li Shimin was reading a policy paper copied by his subordinates.
It had to be said that this article caught his eye.
As a result, he read it with great interest.
"Sorrowful husband! There is such a situation, but by the Qin people's accumulated power to rob, cut day by day, cut month by month, so that the country will perish. Those who serve the country should not be robbed by the accumulation of power."
"Good article! What a good article!"
After reading it, Li Shimin held the policy paper tightly. His eyes lit up and he couldn't calm down for a long time!
This was Han Qiu's " On the Six Nations." The article was concise, neat but not piled up. It was rich but not flashy. It was vigorous and had a bold style!
More importantly, this article was closely related to the " situation of the world ". It talked about the gains and losses of the six countries and Qin in the struggle for the world. It talked about the gains and losses, and it was quite the style of strategists in the Warring States Period.
He really had the demeanor of a great master!
"Fang Qiao, what do you think of this essay?”Li Shimin handed the copied article to Fang Xuanling.
The latter took it and read it carefully.
After a short while, his eyes revealed a sharp light and his mouth kept praising.
"Unbelievable! This essay was written by a sixteen-year-old!”
"Genius! What a genius!"
Fang Xuanling's reaction was not strange.
This 'On the Six Nations' was originally the masterpiece of Su Xun, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Its literary quality was comparable to Jia Yi's On Passing Qin and Liu Zongyuan's On Feudalism.
It was one of the few famous policy discussions in the history of China!
"I didn't expect Han Qiu to have such knowledge at such a young age.”Li Shi Min sighed.
He suddenly felt that he had been an emperor for nothing.
Writing an article was not even as good as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.
Fang Xuanling's old face was also embarrassed, and he was sweating profusely.
"This subject was blind and did not recognize this young talent.”
"Now it seems that Han Qiu can pass the provincial examination. It's even possible for him to become the top scorer in the court examination!”
Li Shimin agreed with Fang Xuanling.
After all, the shock that the " Theory of the Six Nations " had given him was not small.
Unfortunately, this essay was only written in the provincial examination.
If he were to use this essay in the court examinations, he would definitely be able to become the top scorer!
Just as the two of them were praising Han Qiu's article.
Outside the royal study, a personal guard shouted.
"Your Majesty, the King of Wei requests an audience!"
"Oh? My son has returned triumphantly?" Li Shi Min was overjoyed, he quickly stood up and said,"Quick, let him in!"
"His Majesty has decreed for the King of Wei to enter the palace!”
As the bodyguard shouted.
The King of Wei, Li Tai, rushed into the Dew Palace and pushed open the door to the royal study.
"Father! Your son has lost!"
As soon as Li Tai entered the door, he knelt on one knee, tears streaming down his face.
"This is…"
Fang Xuanling was stunned.
He saw many arrow wounds on Li Tai's body.
His exquisite black armor was also mostly rotten.
It seemed that Li Tai's 10,000-man army had been defeated.
"Green Sparrow, don't be anxious.”
Li Shi Min quickly asked Li Tai to explain the situation.
The latter told Li Shimin everything about the ambush, the treacherous terrain of Eagle Beak Cliff, and how he was defeated in the end.
Li Shi Min was shocked.
He didn't expect that the rebels of Jilei Mountain were so good at fighting.
If 10,000 Tang soldiers were defeated, then wouldn't Li Chengqian's 3,000 troops be defeated?
"Where's your big brother?”
"No, I'm not sure. Your son was two days ahead of big brother.”Then, Li Tai pretended to cry,"The rebels of Jilei Mountain are so powerful, maybe big brother has already…"
"Ah?"
Fang Xuanling was shocked.
He was the Crown Prince's man.
If Li Chengqian was killed, his position in the imperial court would be in danger.
"Damn it! If anything happens to my Qian 'er, I will flatten even Tubo, let alone Jilei Mountain!”
Li Shimin was so angry that he picked up the memorial and threw it away.
Looking at Li Tai again, although he was crying like a man in tears, his heart was already blooming with joy.
If Li Chengqian, who was also a competitor, died in Jilei Mountain, then he would be the next Crown Prince.
Even if he took ten thousand steps back, Li Chengqian was not dead.
However, before the battle, he had made a military pledge that if he lost this battle, he would also take the initiative to resign from the position of Crown Prince.
At that time, fighting for the throne would be a piece of cake.
No matter what the outcome was, Li Tai would benefit!
At the same time.
An urgent letter was sent to Chang 'an.
The messenger on the fast horse held a blood letter and shouted,
"Good news! Good news! The Crown Prince's army had wiped out the rebels at Jilei Mountain and recovered the borders of the Great Tang!”
" No one is allowed to stop me!!"
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that the person was aggressive and covered in blood, they did not dare to stop him. They immediately opened the door and let him in.
"No way, the Crown Prince's army wiped out the bandits?!”
"The King of Wei's 10,000 men were defeated. How did the Crown Prince's 3,000 men do it?!”
"I heard that the Crown Prince hasn't asked the Ministry of Revenue for rations yet!”
"Oh my god, the Crown Prince is indeed a god-like soldier!”
In an instant, both the soldiers guarding the city and the people in the city knew of the Crown Prince's victory.
Moreover, the story of this battle had always been spread by others.
The Crown Prince only used 3,000 men to subdue the rebels of Jilei Mountain.
On the other hand, the King of Wei had not only failed to conquer the ten thousand men, but he had also been defeated.
Li Chengqian's prestige instantly topped the entire world!
Li Shi Min, who knew about this.
Li Tai was immediately grounded and his original position was revoked.
Li Chengqian also accumulated military merits because of this.
At this point, Li Chengqian was firmly in the position of Crown Prince!
