Li Shimin stopped talking. As an emperor, no one has more say than him. He felt that what Li Shen said was right. If he is still as afraid of this and that after becoming emperor, what will he do when he succeeds to the throne? Will Li Tang's country still belong to his old Li family in the future?

The ministers did not dare to speak. They did not dare to refute Li Shen's words. Many military commanders agreed with Li Shen's words. They hoped that Li Chengqian could be as wise and decisive as Li Shimin.

"The number of guards has been increased to five hundred since the prince left the palace today. Gao Ming, go to the Lao Shi Army Camp to get some good things. He is so afraid of death, so he has a lot of good things in his hands." Li Shimin issued the order.

"Thank you"

"Your Majesty is wise"

"Aye, I spent a lot of money to make those things. I can give you the drawings and you can ask the Ministry of Industry to build a set for my brother." Hearing Li Shimin asking Li Chengqian to go to his house to get the things, he immediately protested.

"Then don't I have to pay for it?"

"..." Li Shen was speechless.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Everyone here is my closest confidant, please tell me what happened just now." Li Shimin is much better at winning people's hearts than Li Shen.

"Actually, it's nothing. In fact, we have already used this method when dealing with Xue Yantuo. The most important thing for a country is its foundation. Although the princes will still be there at that time, the operation of the court and the country will not be affected, but there is another thing that will have a great impact. Big, that's...that one." Li Shen hesitated.

"You want to talk about competing for the crown prince's position? Are there any hesitations that you don't dare to say? Huh?" Li Shimin said what Li Shen didn't dare to say.

"Yes, yes, that's it. At that time, all the camps will definitely gather together, and the adult princes will all have their thoughts. Aye must have no interest in government affairs at this time. He is heartbroken and in the pain of losing his son. The princes outside have all kinds of excuses. All come back if I were the enemy.

I will send people to contact each prince to express my support for them and give them money and things to make them evenly matched. Over time, the operation of the court may not necessarily be chaotic, but the pattern will definitely change. They are all vying for important positions in the court to win over military and political people.

If accidents happen from time to time to accumulate hatred, someone will definitely take risks within three years. As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two, and those who gradually fail will follow suit. We just need to send people to seduce him, saying that he is the son of God, and he is destined to be his destiny.

All we have to do is provide money and people. When Aye can no longer bear the sadness, that's when the soldiers will come to the border. At this time, all parties have been grudges for a long time. Some people are in favor of it and some are against it.

There must be people who support peace, cession of territory, and reparations. If things go on like this slowly, it won't take long for Datang to be completely eaten away. "Li Shen made a big point. In fact, it was the factionalism that was a major factor in the demise of the Song Dynasty in the future. It was just that there was no outside funding for this and the seizure of heirs. So many famous generals in the Song Dynasty died in political struggles, the most famous of which was Yue Fei.

Li Shimin frowned and kept listening. He didn't expect Li Shen to tell such a big game, although there were many loopholes. But if you design it carefully, it will be a good game. Although it takes longer. But it is better to maintain national strength. And you can use small things to make big things happen.

"I just said you can't play with this child, it's too dangerous." Just when everyone was deep in thought, a sudden sentence interrupted everyone's thoughts. Although the voice was very small, everyone heard it because of the silence. They all looked over.

The person who spoke was none other than Cheng Yaojin, the Hoo Dao Rou. Cheng Yaojin was indeed a piece of meat. When everyone looked at him, his face did not turn red and his heart skipped a beat. He looked serious, as if what he just said was not his. Li Shen also looked at Cheng Yaojin with an embarrassed look on his face.

At this time, Li Jing broke through the embarrassment and said: "King Ji is really resourceful and I admire him. I don't know where King Ji's military strategy came from."

Li Shen withdrew his eyes and said calmly: "Duke Wei praised it. I only understood it from the military book. In fact, I, like all the princes here, hope that the Tang Dynasty will last long and be strong.

In this way, our rights and wealth will continue to be enjoyed. I hope that my wealth can be passed on to the next generation, so that the next generation and the next generation will be free from war. I want future generations to be prosperous and wealthy. "

Li Shimin felt very happy when he saw his tenth son talking. There are so many sons, each with their own thoughts. Everyone wants to fight over something. Only this tenth son thinks about how to make the Li family inherit the family for a longer time.

"Okay, Li Shen, don't talk about useless things. Now we are talking about the military affairs of this assessment." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's speech. We can't let Li Shen say anything outrageous.

"What's there to say? Soldiers are treacherous. In the end, the goal is not always victory. And the only thing we consider is how to maximize benefits at the minimum cost.

No one is willing to exchange the life and death of 3000 people for a prince. It's not worth it, but it's worth it for a dozen generals. Is the rank of a general higher than that of a prince?

Of course not, this is value. What value can I, an idle prince, have? But one Duke of Wei is worth countless Princes of Ji. This is the value. "

"That's a great compliment from King Ji. I can't go to the battlefield now. It's of little value." Li Jing was flattered to see Li Shen's praise.

"No. Wei Guogong's current value is no worse than before. It may be even greater." Li Shen said firmly.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Li Shimin urged

"Aye, you should have noticed that the veterans who conquered the world with Aye back then are all old. Especially handsome men like General Li, who are almost seventy years old.

Now is the time when the Tang Dynasty is in decline, and there are too few generals in the younger generation. In a few years, when these older generations go home to retire, who will replace them?

So I just had an immature idea. General Li is now taking care of himself at home and has nothing to do all day long. I am willing to give a high salary to invite General Li to be an instructor in the military camp of my palace, and be responsible for teaching troops formation and experience.

Xue Rengui, the Dianjun in my residence, is a rare talent. I plan to let him serve the imperial court in the future.

The experience accumulated by Old General Li during his military life is a very valuable asset. It can be said to be priceless and cannot be exchanged for ten thousand dollars. I don’t know what General Li is thinking. "Li Shen sincerely invited Li Jing, which is called re-employment in modern terms.
