Chapter 77
Li Chengqian didn't speak, he didn't agree with Empress Changsun's words, but he didn't want to contradict his mother, so he had to retort silently.

Seeing this, Empress Changsun knew that Li Chengqian was still angry, and said earnestly: "Gao Ming, you and Qingque are brothers of the same mother. They should love each other and support each other. The empress knows that you are a little angry with Qingque. But you are an older brother, so you should be more open-minded."

"Mother, I know what you said, but now it's Qingque who wants to take my crown prince." Li Chengqian said with a flushed face.

Empress Changsun sighed and said, "Gao Ming, the crown prince is yours, and Qing Que cannot take it away. If you continue to fight like this, you are giving Li Ke a chance."

Li Ke, the third son of Li Shimin, whose mother was the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang.

With the blood of the two dynasties, it can be said to be extremely noble, and Datang has the support of many ex-Sui survivors.It can be described as a strong contender for the crown prince.

Coupled with his bravery and courage, he was favored by Li Shimin.

Empress Changsun is worthy of being a virtuous empress through the ages, she sees things very clearly.

According to historical development, after Li Chengqian rebelled and was demoted, Li Shimin began to prepare to make Li Tai the prince.

But under the insistence of Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi was made the prince.

But it didn't take long for Li Shimin to regret it. He felt that Li Zhiren was weak and not a good candidate, and wanted to make Li Ke the prince.

Finally, under the persuasion of Changsun Wuji, he gave up this thought.

It can be said that if it weren't for Changsun Wuji, Li Ke would eventually inherit the throne, and the history of Datang would also be rewritten.

"Mother, it's not Li Ke's turn to be the crown prince." Li Chengqian felt that Empress Changsun was a little alarmist.

In his eyes, Li Tai is the biggest threat, and the others are not to be feared.

"Gao Ming, there are some things that my mother can't explain clearly to you. You just need to be your prince well and don't fight with Qingque. My mother promises that the taste of a prince will always be yours and no one can take it away." The eldest grandson queen said.

Empress Changsun did not target for no reason. There is a shadow of a family behind Li Tai. Even she knows it. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to know.

With Li Shimin's attitude towards the aristocratic family, it is impossible to pass the throne to Li Tai.

Li Chengqian was relieved when he heard what Empress Changsun said.

He knew that Empress Changsun held more importance in Li Shimin's heart than their children.

It is impossible for Li Shimin not to care about Empress Changsun's opinion.

"Mother, I will listen to you, and I will not fight with Qingque in the future." Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun was very happy to see that Li Chengqian had come to his senses. She was afraid that their brothers would continue fighting without knowing the severity and let others take advantage of it.

"Gao Ming, if you can figure it out, the queen mother is very happy." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

I have to say that Empress Changsun is very capable, and she eased Li Chengqian's resentment towards Li Shimin and Li Tai with a few words.

If she could live forever, maybe Li Chengqian would not rebel, and could succeed to the throne smoothly in the end.

pity……

Empress Changsun originally wanted to ask Li Chengqian why she asked Li Li to confront Lin Xuan, a foreign minister, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask.

Li Chengqian was finally persuaded by her. If she asked, Li Chengqian would think too much, and all previous efforts would be in vain.

Anyway, I didn't stay for long, the impact is not big, and it won't be too late to find a chance to talk about it later.

……

Cheng Yaojin said that three days would be three days, and on the third day, the soldiers Cheng Yaojin promised to Lin Xuan would be in place.

Fifty personal soldiers were sent over by Cheng Chumo.

The Lin family is just a family of merchants, so of course it is impossible to have a martial arts arena.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to find a larger yard to house them.

Fortunately, he is only an earl. If he were the Duke of the state, but with five hundred soldiers, his family would really not be able to accommodate him.

"Boy Lin, you have your own soldiers now, leaving us all far away." Cheng Chumo said enviously.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You are the future Duke, and I am only a small Earl, so why should I envy you?"

"This is different. You obtained the title by your own ability. Even if I become a Duke in the future, I will rely on the shadow of my father's generation. There is nothing to show off." Cheng Chumo said disappointedly.

Lin Xuan really wanted to spray him in the face, there is nothing to show off, you are the biggest show off.

I also want to rely on the shadow of my father's generation, but no, I can only rely on myself.

"You're fine, so go back first, I'm going to train my own soldiers, I don't have time to greet you." Lin Xuan didn't bother to talk to Cheng Chumo.

Hearing that Lin Xuan wanted to train the soldiers, Cheng Chumo volunteered and said, "How can you train soldiers? Let me help you."

He has learned martial arts and military art for so many years, but it is useless. Now that he has finally caught the opportunity, how can he let it go.

Seeing Cheng Chumo's excited face, Lin Xuan mercilessly refused: "No need, I will do it myself."

"Boy Lin, let me tell you, if others want me to help you, I will help you. I will only help you if we have a good relationship." Cheng Chumo called out.

Lin Xuan didn't bother to talk to him, and asked all the soldiers to gather in the yard.

After everyone arrived, Lin Xuan took a look. They were all men in their 40s. Although they were not as strong as those in their 20s, they were all warriors on the battlefield. They were all experienced. Lin Xuan Nodding with satisfaction.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the Fubing system, and the biggest feature of this system is the integration of soldiers and farmers.The state grants part of the state-owned land to farmers for cultivation, and in return, the farmers have to undertake military service to the state.After peasants became government soldiers, they usually farmed at home and went to the army to receive training during the farm breaks. Once a war broke out, they had to join the army to fight.For the country, the biggest advantage of the Fubing system is that it can maintain a huge army at a very low cost.For farmers, when there is no war, being a soldier can be exempted from taxes (families who served as soldiers in the Tang Dynasty can enjoy tax-free benefits), and they can spend most of their time with their families.Also very desirable.

Lin Xuan originally trained soldiers under the system, which was definitely not very good, but judging by their spirit and spirit, they still look like soldiers.

"I am the uncle of Jingyang County. You will be my soldiers from now on. If you don't want to, you can go back. I guarantee that Duke Su will not blame you." Lin Xuan said.

He was worried that these soldiers would be dissatisfied with being his own soldiers.

From now on, his life will be protected by these personal soldiers. If they are not willing to follow him wholeheartedly, no matter how elite they are, he will not want them.

After waiting for a while, seeing no one spoke, Lin Xuan said, "Once I send your roster to the Ministry of War for registration, there will be no chance of regret."

Still no one spoke.

Lin Xuan didn't understand their thoughts. If they didn't serve Lin Xuan as soldiers, they would retire soon because of their age.

Once retired, the family will not be exempt from taxes.

They have no resistance to being Lin Xuan's personal soldiers.
