The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63 The son sends his father a hundred thousand war horses

As soon as the ministers sat down, Li Min, who was sitting behind Li You, quietly asked Li You in front of him: "Fifth brother, has the Ma Zhengzhi document been written?"

As soon as these words came out, Li You was stunned. He looked at Li Min with some confusion and asked, "Sixth brother, what is Ma Zhengzhiwen?"

Li Xin chuckled: "Fifth brother, is it true that you have even forgotten the homework assigned to us by our father?"

"The lessons our father has assigned us?" Li You scratched his head: "This is a morning court, not a school?"

"Hehe. This means that you are not as well informed as I am. Today, my father is going to test our horse policy essay directly in this hall. If you don't write it, then you will be finished today." Li Min He smiled, his smile full of teasing.

Li You frowned slightly: "Are you ready?"

"Haha!" Li Min laughed happily: "Get ready. I spent a lot of money to prepare it last night. I can't say it's amazing, but I should have no problem getting through today."

"Who gave you the wind in advance?" Li You asked unwillingly.

"Of course it's my mother-in-law. You should think about how to deal with your father's questions later." After saying that, Li Min lowered his head and laughed.

Seeing Li Yin's ridicule, Li You also became bitter. There was no way, who would make his mother and concubine less favored than the other's mother and concubine? Disgusting, but I have to accept it, I have a good mother and concubine, and I also have a good brother.

"Dear ladies...!"

At this time, Li Shimin also sat down and began to speak from above: "The Tang Dynasty is now in peace and prosperity, and all of you have contributed a lot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone responded happily.

Li Shimin smiled: "However, it is not the time for us to be free and easy. There are still some evil neighbors around our Datang, so our Datang must always be prepared.

A few days ago, I left a lesson for my princes, which is the Ma Zhengwen of the Tang Dynasty. Today, I will come with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to examine these princes.

If your ministers think it is good, then I will reward you, but if what you say is all nonsense, then I will also punish you. Prince, you are ready. "

"You're ready." Li Chengqian stood up confidently with his brothers.

What needs to be explained here is that at this time, Li Chengqian was still a good young man. Not only was his leg not lame, but he was also well-educated and looked like a prince. The changes in Li Chengqian were mainly due to three reasons. The first reason was the death of Empress Changsun. You must know that Li Chengqian is getting older now, and Li Shimin has begun to control Li Chengqian with almost harsh requirements, which is a great persecution for adolescent children.

Not only will it affect the relationship between father and son, but it will also make Li Chengqian have a rebellious mentality.

At this time, Li Chengqian's mother, Queen Changsun, came to enlighten Li Chengqian, but Queen Changsun died too early. Since Li Chengqian lost his mother, there was no bridge of communication with Li Shimin. The relationship between father and son became worse and worse, and in the end it became even more bitter. Not allowed.

The second reason is that his leg was lame. You must know that there has been no lame emperor in history. Although Li Shimin did not decree to abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince position, Li Chengqian still felt inferior.

The third reason is King Li Tai of Wei. Li Chengqian’s younger brother is really a dog. He is a chubby boy. He is called the Four Sage Kings outside. He is very talented and has been favored by Li Shimin the most. He has great influence on Li Chengqian’s position. It was pressing step by step, without letting up at all.

It was this kind of strong pressure that made Li Chengqian take risks.This time Empress Changsun did not log off early. I wonder if Li Chengqian will follow the same old path.

Li Shimin looked at his prince and nodded with a smile: "Then let the prince come first!"

Li Chengqian nodded, and then took out a Ma Zheng paper, which was eloquent and eloquent. He cited more than ten measures one by one. Some of them were useful, but some were useless. Anyway, they were quite satisfactory. When all of Li Chengqian's ideas were realized, I don’t know how many years will pass.

After Li Chengqian ended, Li Ke and Li Tai had the same thing with their horse policy documents. They talked about a lot of money, but it couldn't change the current situation of the lack of horses in the Tang Dynasty. As for Li You, he had no preparations, and it was miserable. When he got home, he was so hesitant that he couldn't speak, which directly made Li Shimin embarrassed in front of the ministers. To be honest, Li Shimin's face turned green with anger.

Because Li Shimin thinks that he has given so much time to his children, no matter how stupid you are, you can still deal with it by asking your own counselor to write an article. Li Shimin is not checking the children's homework today, but more Show the ministers that they attach great importance to Ma Zheng.

As long as you write an article, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it will be over. But you didn't write at all. How could Li Shimin not be angry?

"Li You. You are banned for thirty days. If I know that you ignored my imperial edict and left the house without permission, then don't blame me. Both crimes will be punished. At that time, you will get out of Chang'an and go to your fief. "

"I don't dare." Li You quickly knelt down and apologized. You must know that Li You didn't want to leave Chang'an.

When we arrived at Li Min, we saw that this boy proudly took out his horse policy document. Don't tell me, you don't know what experts this boy Li Min invited to propose cross-breeding and improving horses.

A large number of good horses of the Turkic, Khitan and Xi ethnic groups were introduced from the surrounding Jimifu areas.

Then crossbreed with your own domestic horses, so that you can get more and better horses.
This is a very good suggestion, and many ministers applauded it. Among them, Zhang Wansui even praised: "This article is worth a thousand war horses!"

This Zhang Wansui was the minister of Taipu Temple, the head of horse breeding. He was in charge of the horse administration of the Tang Dynasty. He established a horse breeding base in Longxi and set aside a land of thousands of miles as a horse farm. The horse farm was divided into eight lanes and 48 prisons. "A land of thousands of miles" , is still narrow-minded.”

It is precisely because of Zhang Wansui's good performance in raising horses that he supplied many horses to the Tang cavalry, so the Tang cavalry was so powerful, and the famous Tang general Li Jing was able to complete the great feat of running thousands of miles and destroying the Eastern Turks.

If it were not for Zhang Wansui, I am afraid there would be no glory for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Once Zhang Wansui died, the horse politics of the Tang Dynasty would take a turn for the worse.

With Zhang Wansui's affirmation, Li Min was even more proud, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, the ministers around him were slightly appreciative, and Li Ke also gave an affirmative expression to his younger brother.

At this time, two people were unhappy. One was Li You. You must know that Li You was directly banned. Li Min and Li You used to be the same as each other, but now it is because his mother-in-law is more favored than his own mother-in-law. , I got the news in advance, so I put pressure on myself, and now I still get so much praise. Do you think Li You is sad?

Another person who was unhappy was Li Zhi. Looking at Li Min's triumphant expression, Li Zhi almost chewed his molar teeth. He didn't know what the situation was. The two of them had not dealt with each other since they were young, and they argued with each other. Quite a few, anyway, they just don’t like each other.

Li Min was so proud today, and Li Zhi was of course unhappy. Just when Li Min was feeling happy, Li Zhi passed over Li Yun and Li Zhen and bowed eagerly: "My son, Li Zhi, give this gift to my father. One hundred thousand war horses.”

　Haha. There will be two updates tomorrow, and there are no recommendation votes. I can actually update it, I can!
