"Conquer the Wei Nation?"
Li Yuanji repeated Li Yuan's words.
He didn't know why, but in this tiny place that he had never heard of before, Li Yuan's words actually gave rise to a thick killing intent.
It was as if there was a deep hatred between them.
However, he only needed to understand and complete Li Yuan's orders.
As for whether the Wei Nation was innocent?
It didn't matter.
This was because when Li Yuanji knew that the Wei Nation was rich in silver, he knew that these small islands already belonged to the Great Tang. He immediately bowed and said,"Your son will obey Imperial Father's orders."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, raised his hand and said,"You must be very careful when you go out to sea. You must report everything to me clearly when the time comes.”
"You can't act on your own."
"Remember, you are my son. Even ten Wei Nations are not as important as you.”
Li Yuanji listened to Li Yuan.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded heavily and said,"Your son understands."
Li Yuan looked at him and pointed out some details.
For example, he had to consult the craftsmen for the blueprints to make the dragon boats. He had to raise the remuneration. He had to remember not to treat them as people from the lower nine sects.
Instead, he wanted to be a teacher.
Because the talents who made the dragon boat were far more important than gold and silver.
Li Yuanji didn't understand the logic behind it.
After all, in the Great Tang, these craftsmen were not even as good as merchants. However, he remembered Li Yuan's words.
He almost used his life to prove this sentence.
Since then.
In the coastal areas of the Great Tang, the status of craftsmen was almost the same as that of scholars. If children from many families had no hope of studying, they would be sent to learn craftsmanship.
Li Yuanji held the wooden box carefully, not daring to damage the things inside.
Li Yuan tried to persuade him, but Li Yuanji didn't dare to relax. He simply didn't care. After all, Li Yuanji wasn't as capable as Xiang Yu.
However, he was also a first-class general.
Holding this wooden box, even if it was two hours, he wouldn't feel tired.
Li Shimin stood there and saw Li Yuanji standing beside him in high spirits. He also looked at Li Yuan with a burning gaze, wanting to know what Li Yuan would arrange for him to do.
Li Jiancheng's eyes were filled with curiosity.
He had gone to the border city to deal with the Turks.
Li Yuanji went to the coastal area to take charge of the construction of dragon boats.
He couldn't let Li Shimin go out as well, so the Great Tang would be exposed everywhere.
Li Yuan could feel Li Shiming's hope, so he smiled and said,"Shi Min, in your opinion, what kind of place is this royal study?”
Li Shi Min looked at the layout of the royal study.
He pondered for a moment and said,"Father, I feel that this royal study is a place where you and the ministers discuss matters in private."”
"It's also the place where you read memorials, handle state affairs, and read books.”
"It's also because you've set your sights on the entire world.”
Li Yuan smiled and slowly sat down.
Then, he took out a brand new Imperial Dragon Vermilion Pen and placed it in front of Li Shiming. He said indifferently,"In this one's opinion, this imperial study is just a room with four walls, two windows, and a pair of doors that can't be any more ordinary.”
"It's only because I'm here."
"Zhen calls it the royal study.”
"If today, after I walk out, I call it the imperial kitchen, then tomorrow it will be the place where I eat.”
"Do you understand?"
Li Yuan finished his sentence.
Li Shiming was not the only one who fell silent.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stood there, not knowing what to say.
Power.
Supreme power.
This was Li Yuan. He could decide everything with a single word.
Seeing the three of them, Li Yuan placed the Imperial Dragon Vermilion Pen in front of Li Shiming and said,"Shimin, you and Jiancheng had a feud before.”
"In that case, I will let the two of you swap identities.”
"Jiancheng is fighting outside, Shimin will stay in the court to assist Zhen in handling government affairs.”
"As for which of the two of you will be the Crown Prince, I believe that at that time, there will naturally be someone in your hearts.”
Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng exchanged a glance.
They all wanted to say something.
However, before he could say anything.
"Shimin, Jiancheng, have you ever thought that one day, the Great Tang's territory will expand tenfold or even a hundredfold?" Li Yuan smiled.”
"Just like the current Great Tang.”
"Any prince that zhen makes will have zhen's current power.”
"At that time, what would the position of Crown Prince that you fought for be?”
"My goal is the entire world!"
As Li Yuan spoke, he strode out of the royal study.
In the royal study.
Li Shiming, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji were all asking themselves this question. They looked at the map hanging on the wall and smiled bitterly.
Li Jiancheng cupped his hands at Li Shimin and said,"Second brother, I will be going to the border city in a few days. At that time, I will need your assistance in the court.”
Li Shiming nodded slightly and looked at Li Jiancheng."Big brother, I didn't understand you before, but now that I've replaced you, I won't dare to slack off. If there's anything wrong, I hope big brother can forgive me.”
Li Jiancheng smiled and patted Li Shiming's shoulder.
Then, he looked at Li Yuanji and said,"Let's go, Yuanji, Shimin. Today, we will go to my Han King's residence to invite all of our colleagues.”
"I don't know when I'll see you again.”
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji nodded.
The three of them walked out of the cold royal study.
Facing the sun that was already hanging high in the sky.
The figures grew longer and longer. In the end, the three figures were tied together like ropes.
Li Yuan stood at a high place and watched his three sons leave. He let out a sigh of relief. He had drawn a big pie today.
Of course, this was what he really thought.
The ocean could not be abandoned.
Either they invaded the ocean or they were invaded by the ocean. Naturally, they had to act in front of them. The earlier this plan was done, the more advantageous it would be.
He was also very relieved to leave it to Li Yuanji.
Lin Cheng stood at the side. He had watched Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming grow up. He had seen the two brothers fight to the death, even though he could not get a word in.
However, he was also a little anxious.
At this moment, he knew that the gap between them could not be resolved in a day, but at least there would be no more swords and knives. It was already very good.
Li Yuan slowly turned to look at Lin Cheng and said,""How is the preparation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards?”
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Lin Cheng hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, this old servant has carefully selected the Embroidered Uniform Guards, but only 113 people have been chosen.”
"They have been completely transferred away.”
"According to your plan, we are training them into the backbone before continuing to develop.”
"I believe that in a month's time, it will take shape.”
Li Yuan tapped his fingers on the railing and said,""I will leave this matter to you. There is no need to worry about anything.”
"After a month, Zhen needs to see the prototype of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"There is no need to care about identity, status, or even gender. As long as they are loyal to me, it is enough. Your juniors can also join the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"I have great use for them."
Lin Cheng listened to Li Yuan's words and nodded in fear and trepidation. Then, he knelt on the ground and said solemnly,"This old servant understands."
"This old servant thanks Your Majesty on behalf of those good-for-nothings.”
Li Yuan's gaze fell on him. He helped him up and said,""Lin Cheng, there's no need for this between us.”
The muscles on Lin Cheng's face trembled.
Although he was Li Yuan's trusted aide, he was only a eunuch in the eyes of outsiders. Many people called him Eunuch Lin on the surface.
However, the words behind his back were as unpleasant as they could be.
However, he also knew that no matter how vicious these words were, it would not change Li Yuan's trust in him. He was only loyal to Li Yuan. As for the opinions of others, he did not care.
However, he had instilled these principles into himself time and time again.
It was inevitable that he was still a man.
Li Yuan did not treat him as a eunuch or a servant. Tears welled up in Lin Cheng's eyes as he knelt on the ground again and said tearfully,"This old servant thanks Your Majesty."
Li Yuan looked at him and sighed. He didn't say anything else.
Lin Cheng slowly stood up and left respectfully.
Li Yuan stood at a high place and looked down at the entire palace. As the emperor, he lived at the highest place in the palace. This was a sign of respect.
However, what he was thinking about now was not in the palace.
The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers.
He spoke very confidently in the morning court today.
But he knew that the history books had recorded that the two hundred thousand soldiers led by the Jie Li Khan had marched straight into the Wei River, and the Great Tang army had been unable to stop them at all.
If not for the fact that Jie Li Khan was too cowardly.
The Great Tang had probably long since disappeared from history.
Li Yuan knew very well that from the moment Jin Yang started his army, he only had 30,000 soldiers. They had fought countless battles, but all of them were internal conflicts. There were prisoners and new recruits.
Countless injuries and wounds were the losses of the Great Tang.
It was not something that could be made up for in a day or two.
This was especially true for the soldiers of the Great Tang. The status of military households was low, and even their compensation was pitifully low. In fact, they could even be deducted. As a result, no one was willing to join the army.
Even if it was forced.
Because of the many years of war, the armor and weapons were severely damaged.
He couldn't send people to the battlefield barehanded or with farming tools.
Li Yuan slowly stretched out his hand and looked at the void in front of him. In the system space, the last reward was the Iron Forging Technique.
It could improve the technology of the Great Tang by nearly a thousand years.
This was the reason why he sent Li Jiancheng to the border town. After all, how could his own son send him to his death?
Li Yuan looked at the sun in the sky and glanced at Guan Yu.""Guan Yu, follow me out of the palace and see if there are any talents we can find.”
"Prepare the carriage and leave the palace in plain clothes.”
Guan Yu cupped his fists and bowed respectfully before leading his men away.
In just a quarter of an hour.
Guan Yu sat in the front and drove the carriage. Li Yuan also changed out of his dragon robe and put on his brocade clothes. He sat in the carriage and left the palace through the small palace gate.
They entered Chang 'an…
