Chapter 10 Father and Son Play Against Each Other!

Time passed slowly, and with the end of the Spring Rain Banquet, the peace negotiation with the Turks was also brought to the forefront. It remained for a long time, and soon, this matter gradually spread to the people.

"Have you heard? At the Spring Rain Banquet, the Turks wanted to negotiate peace with us, and they even made a treaty that was beneficial to them. It's really shameless!"

"Yes, if the third prince hadn't pointed out the pros and cons, we would have been in dire straits!"

"But has the Third Prince really changed? In less than a month, he has actually done two major things. It's really impressive!"

"Not to mention, the third prince went on tour a few days ago. I can see that his whole aura is completely different from before. He has really changed!"

…

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion among the people. Not only the storytellers in the teahouse, but also the traffickers and lackeys who could not read a few characters all turned to Li Taiyi.

"诱边辘!"

While the people were discussing, they did not notice that a gorgeous bronze carriage was slowly passing by them, heading towards the imperial city.

At this moment, the person sitting in the carriage was the focus of their conversation, Li Taiyi.

When Li Taiyi heard the heated discussions of the people outside the bronze carriage, his expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief.

His efforts were not in vain.

After these events, it turns out that San Zixuan's "infamous reputation" has finally changed, which will make it easier to do other things next.

Most importantly, his goal has been achieved.

Because of him, at least everyone noticed this key place in Yinshan Mountain.

"Let's go!"

The curtain fell, and Li Taiyi quickly came to his senses.

The bronze carriage moved forward, passed through the majestic Imperial City Palace Gate, and along the red palace wall. Soon, the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

Hearing the sound coming from outside the bronze carriage, Li Taiyi patted the hem of his clothes and quickly got off the carriage.

In front of my eyes,

A majestic, magnificent, tall and majestic golden palace stands high, as if reaching into the sky.

In the four corners of the huge palace, there are four generals in golden armor sitting there. They have stern eyes and are stationed in all directions like gods. They exude a storm-like pressure from their bodies and guard the huge palace in the center.

Looking up, not far away, a white jade ridge winds up and extends to the front of the huge golden palace in the distance.

From a long distance away, Li Taiyi saw several majestic golden characters with flying dragons and phoenixes in front of the palace gate:

"Tai Chi Hall!"

Each of these three big characters is more and more important. Just looking at it from a distance can make people feel majestic and majestic.

This is the first time Li Taiyi has arrived here since arriving in this world.

Although he was a prince, Prince Xuan had a very bad reputation. Not only was he not allowed to go to court, he was even excluded from the Tai Chi Hall where the Tang Emperor lived.

This is the first time he has come here since his rebirth.

Soon, Li Taiyi came back to his senses, stepped onto the white jade Danchi, and walked step by step towards the majestic and towering Tai Chi Hall, which looked like it was in the clouds.

"Ahem, you are so courageous. A mere right-hand man can be so arrogant and dare to contradict me in the court. You simply don't take me seriously!"

Before Li Taiyi entered the palace, he immediately heard Tang Huang coughing and scolding. For a moment, Li Taiyi was shocked.

This was the first time he had seen Emperor Tang so furious.

But it only took a moment for Li Taiyi to come back to his senses. In the imperial court, everything is complicated. Although this situation is rare, it is also common.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

I saw Eunuch Li, the old eunuch who served the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, giving the Emperor a favor with a nervous look on his face, while handing the jade cup filled with black medicinal liquid to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Tang Huang breathed a sigh of relief, took the jade cup, drank the medicine in one gulp, and then slapped the jade cup heavily on the Tenglong golden nanmu table.

Suddenly, Tang Huang glanced at Li Taiyi, and then he stopped being angry.

"You go down first."

Emperor Tang casually waved Eunuch Li away.

"yes!"

Soon, Eunuch Li took the jade cup and left. In an instant, only Li Taiyi and Emperor Tang were left in the Tai Chi Hall.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Li Taiyi took a few steps forward and bowed.

"No gift."

"Yes, it seems that your mother-in-law is right, you have indeed changed."

Tang Huang waved his hands and said, seemingly casually, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Taiyi, as if he had a deep meaning.

Li Taiyi was startled when he heard this, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but soon he said respectfully: "My father and mother have taught me well."

"Well, I am most gratified that you can turn back your prodigal son."

"I have given instructions. Starting from tomorrow, your food and clothing expenses will be restored to before."

Emperor Tang glanced at Li Taiyi's respectful expression and nodded slightly.

In the past, Brother Xuan would have been overjoyed when he heard that his punishment had been cancelled, but now, nothing has changed.

"Maybe he has really grown up!"

Seeing Li Taiyi's change, Emperor Tang couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Taiyi said loudly.

Li Taiyi didn't know what Emperor Tang was thinking.

Although Emperor Tang said that his food and clothing expenses had returned to before, he didn't have much of an idea, because at the end of his previous life, his food and clothing... were simply hell. Even for the prince who was deprived of power, his food and clothing consumption was like hell. It's much better than he was before.

Simply heaven!

"By the way, I'm calling you to come here. There's one more thing."

At this moment, Tang Huang's thunderous voice reached Li Taiyi's ears:

"I did not make a decision easily during the Spring Rain Banquet regarding the Turkic peace talks. However, this matter involves the two great empires of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Empire, so it is no small matter."

"I'm asking you now, regarding the peace negotiation, how do you think it will be handled in the future?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Taiyi immediately felt a sharp gaze, penetrating his heart and lungs, falling on himself. Li Taiyi's heart was shocked, and Li Taiyi understood——

Father is testing himself.

It’s also an opportunity!

My father would never use political affairs to examine himself.

The eldest brother and the second brother all went through such a test before being reused by their father.

If you answer correctly, your father's view of yourself will be greatly improved, and it will be of great benefit to your future plans, but if you answer incorrectly, everything will return to zero.

The father would only think that everything at the Spring Rain Banquet was just a whim, or that he would have to spend more and several times more effort in the future to regain his father's favor.

"Returning to my father, I think that if the Turks sincerely seek peace, we might as well agree to it, so that the people of the two countries will suffer less from the sword and reduce the loss of national power. Moreover, we can also go with the flow and tell the world about the Tang Dynasty. Magnificent!"

Unexpectedly, Li Taiyi thought for a moment, and what he said was completely opposite to what he said at the Spring Rain Banquet. Even Emperor Tang was greatly surprised.

"What if the Turks are not sincere about peace talks?"

Soon, Tang Huang said again.

"If it's not——, then it means that the Turks are ambitious and have great plans!"

Li Taiyi lowered his head. When he said this, a frightening cold light burst out from his eyes. He would never forget that it was these barbarians who single-handedly destroyed the splendid civilization of the Middle-earth Divine Continent and created the dark apocalypse. .

"Of course there is no need to mention the peace talks. In addition, we need to send more troops to the north and be on strict guard. Even the Turkic prince is not lucky enough to kill him. Kill him as a warning to avoid future troubles!"

Li Taiyi said in a deep voice, and at the end, he faintly revealed murderous intent.

If his identity wasn't so sensitive now, and the Turkic prince came to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, he would want to kill him now.

The other party speaks fluent Tang language and has a very good understanding of the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty. Such a person will definitely be a great threat to the Tang Dynasty if he takes charge of the Turks in the future.

"Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. The Turks will always be our great enemy! I believe that one day, I will completely defeat them! I will even bring them under the rule of our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Taiyi said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, in an instant, needles could be heard in the Tai Chi Hall, and even Emperor Tang's eyes fluctuated slightly.

Li Taiyi's performance greatly exceeded his expectations.

In this incompetent third son, at this moment, he actually felt a strong fighting spirit!

At that moment, Emperor Tang suddenly felt filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, he also thought about attacking the north directly and regaining the territory.

It had always been his dream to follow the late emperor on his expeditions to the north and south since he was young. However, after experiencing many border expeditions, no one knew the strength of the Turks better than him.

After so many years of fighting and being suppressed by the Turks for so many years, the ambition in his heart was no longer what it was back then.

After all—

After all, it is difficult for infantry to suppress cavalry!

"If my father is worried that the Tang troops will be unable to resist the Yi and Di cavalry, I have a solution."

As if he knew what Emperor Tang was worried about, at this moment, Li Taiyi's voice, neither high nor low, suddenly came over.

"Oh, what can I do?"

Emperor Tang was greatly surprised.

Xuan'er has not been interested in politics and military affairs since he was a child, how can he solve this problem?

Suddenly, Emperor Tang thought of Li Taiyi's uncovering of the serious corruption case in the court and the key points he pointed out at the Spring Rain Banquet, and he immediately looked over.

Although both things seemed to be done by Li Taiyi unintentionally, Tang Huang had a vague feeling that they were done on purpose.

And at this time, seeing Li Taiyi's serious expression, for a moment, it seemed that he was aggrieved because he had been suppressed by the Turks for so many years, and Emperor Tang was actually looking forward to it.

"explain!"

"Crossbow!"

Li Taiyi's voice was resounding.

"What is a crossbow?"

Tang Huang asked with doubts in his eyes.

"The cavalry can fight with sharpshooters, but sharpshooters without five years of experience are difficult to form, but chariot crossbows can be used as substitutes. A crossbow is placed on the chariot to fire arrows. Once its teeth are fired, all the arrows will rise together. This is Lu Ban’s clever design.”

Li Taiyi said.

"oh?"

After hearing Li Taiyi's words, Emperor Tang frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.

He had never heard of the kind of thing Li Taiyi was talking about. He knew about the crossbow, but he had no impression of the crossbow.

"Where do you know this kind of thing?"

Emperor Tang asked, but did not immediately express his attitude.

"Father, weapons like chariots and crossbows have actually been available in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. They have been developed by the Ministry of Industry for a long time. However, they are not yet mature enough and have not been used in the military on a large scale. I used to 'play' in the palace. , I saw this kind of drawing by chance, so I know it.”

Li Taiyi said respectfully.
