"So, this is not what they have to do, but they do it voluntarily for the Tang Dynasty, for the people, for the imperial court, and the people don't know anything about it, and even when they sacrificed, the people were still arrogant. Laughing and having fun is absolutely morbid!"

  "It's just that we didn't think of this before, but now that His Highness has proposed it, Wei Chen has only realized it later! Therefore, Wei Chen also asked His Majesty to agree to this matter, at least... let the people know that someone is carrying the burden for them!"

  Cen Wenwen also stood up and said, "This minister agrees!"

  "My minister agrees!"

  "My minister agrees!"

  Soon, all the ministers stood up. This time, they did not support Li Ke because they belonged to Li Ke's faction, but agreed with Li Ke's proposal from the bottom of their hearts.

  Seeing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "What the Crown Prince said came from the bottom of his heart, and it is deafening!"

  He looked at Li Ke and said, "Ke'er, today, I have learned something from you that only belongs to you. You are a very special person, so special that you are different from the people in the entire Tang Dynasty!"

  "But it proves that it is right for me to value you. You can have such a foresight, and you can have such a thought for the soldiers. This is really a blessing of the Tang Dynasty!"

  He said directly: "Prince Prospective, please play, immediately, the Ministry of War and the East Palace will join hands to prepare a merit list! After the establishment of this list, the "Zhenguan Monthly" and the imperial list will be announced to the world at the same time! , no one can forget!"

  Hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor!"

  Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I should thank you. If you didn't tell me this in time, I might have forgotten about it!"

  "Ke'er, didn't you say there are three things to do? What is the third one?" Li Shimin asked again.

  Li Ke thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third aspect is to expand the number of recruits, and immediately start recruiting soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty, and then conduct unified training, ready to send troops to the front line at any time! Policy - encourage fertility!"

  …… 0 asking for flowers…… ……

  "Encourage all people to have children, and the court will issue subsidies for children such as third and fourth children to ensure that families can afford to raise children!"

  "Conscription? Encourage fertility?"

  Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words.

  He said: "There has always been a ratio between the strength of the army and the people, and it can't be too much. Otherwise, it will exceed the limit that the people can bear. Moreover, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been in constant war, and there have been many conscriptions. This time..."

  "Father!"

  Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, he heard Li Ke say: "Father, my sons and ministers also know this, but it was before, and now is now, our enemy is unprecedented!"

  Li Ke said: "Father, you may not know that the food country is called the Arab Empire. It is a superpower that spans three continents. Its national strength and military strength are unimaginable!"

  "And the Arab Empire is a religious empire, and there is a lot of religious brainwashing, so most of their soldiers are fanatics, and they are really desperate people!"

  "Therefore, the Arab Empire must not be taken lightly! Besides, the Arab Empire is currently fighting against various countries at the same time, and this way... it has also won consecutive victories, which is evident in its strength. If the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition Army is blocked, it will cause its If the lord is displeased, causing him to mobilize personnel from other battlefields to come here..."

  Li Ke took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Then our enemy is not only [-] million, it is likely to be three million, four million, five million! A fanatic who is not afraid of death!"

  "If that's the case, Father, do you think...with our current army alone, can we withstand it? Our army is simply not enough!"

  "And once that time really comes, we can't keep the gate of the country, and the enemy army rushed into the territory... At that time, even if the people didn't want to resist, it wouldn't work at all, so now it's not enough to consume people's strength and let them be soldiers. It's better than when that time comes, they don't have any training and are slaughtered!"

  Li Ke paused and said: "Father, this is a national disaster, and special things must be done in special times!"

  "And even if we allocate some of our labor, now we have high-yield crops, we can make up for the lack of labor. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will also develop some machines to assist in the planting of crops. The father and the emperor can rest assured when it comes to planting crops!"

  "At the same time, the imperial court also strongly encourages fertility. As long as our Tang Dynasty can survive these ten years, and when the next generation grows up, population matters will no longer be a problem!"

  "so……"

  Li Ke bowed to Li Shimin and said: "When the national disaster is imminent, when one hundred thousand young soldiers and one hundred thousand soldiers, when the motherland needs them, they can fearlessly and bravely stand up. Only in this way, the Tang Dynasty can win, and my Chinese blood can Save it!"

  "As the father said, it is better to drain the blood of this generation than to let the crisis spread to the next generation... Now is the time! With the blood of this generation, we will defeat the enemy who invades us, and we will never let the next generation. A generation, also bear our pain..."

Chapter [-]: Li Shimin's friendship, your life is more important than me!

  Li Ke's words shocked everyone once again.

  The civil and military officials stood there like this, staring blankly at Prince Li Ke.

  One hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers!

  It's time to drain the blood of this generation, so that the next generation will no longer bear the pain of this generation!

  The time has come!

  These few words, every sentence deafening, they were like a stick in the head, slamming on everyone's heart.

  Fang Xuanling clenched his hands!

  Samurai Yu's whole body shook.

  Cen Wenwen's eyes widened.

  All the officials were shaking at this moment, and their minds were like a bell ringing, rumbling.

  And Li Shimin also looked at Li Ke fiercely, the blue veins on his face suddenly appeared, and looking at Li Ke's eyes, they shone sternly.

  He stared at Li Ke like this, as if to stare Li Ke into his own eyes. After a moment of silence, Li Shimin leaned back slightly and let out a long breath.

  He said: "When the national disaster comes, when one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand soldiers... special times should do special things, and now there is turmoil in the country, it is better than the border being breached in the future, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed!"

  Li Shimin shook his head and said with emotion: "Ke'er, I didn't expect that your decision would be three points stronger than mine."

  "Be benevolent and righteous, be kind when you should be kind, be decisive when you should be decisive, and never leave any way out when you should do everything... You are a born leader!"

  He took a deep breath, and immediately saw the light in his eyes flickering, without the slightest hesitation, he said directly: "The prince's words, I believe that all the ministers felt it, in fact, my original intention was to come to the school to test the children. Yes, but now it seems that I haven't passed the exam, but I was educated by Ke'er!"

  "Being benevolent to the generals, benevolent and righteous to the people, and decisive to the enemy, it is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty to have Ke'er as the crown prince, and the fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"

  "Therefore..."

  Li Shimin looked around the officials and said in a loud voice: "The Ministry of War, respect the prince's order, gather soldiers all over the world, train them uniformly, and prepare to go to the front line at any time! Tell them that this is not to protect the court, not to protect the Tang Dynasty, but to serve them. to fight for their children and grandchildren, so that their children and grandchildren will not have to fight with blood!"

  Fang Yi, the minister of military affairs, heard the words, took a step forward, bowed and said, "Wei Chen obeys the order!"

  "Samurai Yu!" Li Shimin said again.

  The warrior Yu quickly stood up and said, "Wei Chen is here!"

  "The Ministry of Household immediately issued a national policy to encourage childbearing to the world, and announced to the world that as long as there are more than two children in the family, the extra children will be subsidized by the court, and the court will appropriately reduce their taxes to help them raise their children and grandchildren! If the Tang Dynasty sacrifices too many soldiers in this battle, the population will be withered, we can't wait, and we can't wait!"

  Samurai Yu himself knew the importance of it, and without any hesitation, he said directly: "Wei Chen obeys the order!"

  Li Shimin nodded, he looked at Baiguan, and said: "Today I learned that the front line has won the victory, this is the most exciting news, but the war has just begun, I hope that all the ministers can guard against arrogance and rashness and stick to their positions. On the top, be conscientious and conscientious, do not ask the ministers to make any contribution, but be sure to create the most stable rear for the army!"

  "Only in this way can the army have no worries!"

  When all the officials heard the words, they all hurriedly bowed and said in unison: "Wei ministers obey the order!"

  ……

  Li Shimin warned Baiguan a few more words, this time the morning court was over, and the officials hurriedly left the hall to carry out what Li Shimin had explained.

  And Li Ke was called by Li Shimin to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the window. Beside him, Li Ke also stood with his head held high.

  Li Shimin looked at the blue sky outside, and after being silent for a long time, he finally said, "Ke'er, this time... it's really thanks to you!"

  "I was in the main hall just now, and I couldn't praise you in front of the officials, and I couldn't give you a reward. After all, the front line is in a hurry. If I reward you alone at this time, I may cause some unnecessary troubles... But , the deeds you have done, everything you have done for the Tang Dynasty, I will remember in my heart, and I will reward you for your merits and deeds when the enemy is defeated."

  When Li Ke heard Li Shimin's words, he just said calmly: "Father, my son, this is not for any reward, and my son doesn't think he has really done anything!"

  "The soldiers fought bloody battles outside and faced life danger all the time. Although Erchen was on the front line, he couldn't fight with them due to his status, so he had to stay in Chang'an and find a way to create some convenience for them. This is the only thing Erchen can do. for them."

  Hearing this, Li Shimin turned to look at Li Ke and said, "Do you still want to go to the front?"

  "When the front line encountered difficulties, the father and the emperor were ready to go on a personal expedition, and the father and the emperor had this consciousness. The son is only the prince, how could he not?" Li Ke said neither humble nor arrogant.

  Li Shimin frowned slightly, and he said, "I am different from you!"

  "My father is the ruler of a country, and he belongs to the world. Compared with my father, my son is more suitable for adventures!" Li Ke said.

  Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Ke, and immediately saw his hands behind his back, turned his head to look out the window again, and said, "Do you think my life is more precious than yours?"

  "nature--"

  "fart!"

  Before Li Ke could finish speaking, he heard Li Shimin suddenly utter a foul language, interrupting Li Ke's words directly.

  He said: "Ke'er, remember to me, in my heart, you are the future of the Tang Dynasty, and you are the one who can lead the Tang Dynasty to go higher and farther! Therefore, your life... is more than mine. valuable!"

  "This matter, not only I think so, but the civil and military people of the whole dynasty think so. Otherwise, if you think I want to go to the expedition in person, will they not stop me?"

  "If you didn't know that you were in the back, if you didn't know that you could do better, do you think Wei Zheng and the others would stop me?"

  Li Shimin said: "You have never encountered Wei Zheng's stubbornness, you have no idea how stubborn Wei Zheng's temper is, and none of them know how dangerous the border is. If Li Jing is really finished, then the Tang Dynasty... The person who can carry the cauldron! So once I go there, I will definitely be placed in a place of nine deaths!"

  "If Wei Zheng didn't trust the rear, he would stop me even if he was desperate! And this time, he didn't stop me so strongly, what do you think it was? It's because they knew that Tang Dynasty had no choice, and I had to Take action! And because they know that Datang has you as a prince, they can rest assured!"

  "If the enemy army attacks Chang'an one day, believe it or not, in order to give you a chance, whether it's Wei Zheng or Fang Xuanling, all of them will use their bodies to block the enemy, go to death without frowning. , and all of this is because of the existence of your prince in the Tang Dynasty!"

  "Don't worry if they die!"

  "And I..."

  Li Shimin turned his head sharply to look at Li Ke, and said, "It's the same! Everyone in the world says that the royal family has no kinship, and I recognize it! I am an emperor, and I am always worried that my position will be unstable, and that I will be stabbed in the spine by future generations, but I will treat you. is the only exception!"

  "It's not just because you are my son, the more important point of 5.8 is that I know...With you, this Tang Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger, and the foundation I have laid will only become more and more hopeful! That's all!"

  He took a deep breath, paused, looked at Li Ke with a shocked expression, patted Li Ke's shoulder lightly, and said, "Ke'er, I told you this, I didn't really want to stop you from doing anything. , I just hope that when you do anything, you can think more about your responsibilities and your importance to the court and the country!"

  "There are many people who are going to die, and there is no shortage of you, but you are the only one who can support the heaven of the Tang Dynasty!"

  "As for whether you go to the front line..."

  Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and then said: "Look at the situation on the front line. If it is really needed one day, I will go to the battlefield with you!"

  "At that time, maybe it's time for us to bet everything. If we don't succeed, then... the country will be destroyed..."

  "At that time, whether it's the emperor or the prince, if you don't want to live on your knees, then you can die standing up, die... and let them know that my Han family is strong and strong!"

Chapter [-] The merit list is now in the world, and the whole world is shocked!
