I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But when it came to Zhang Nuo, it directly became a mode of opening the skylight and talking brightly. Your father is the emperor, you are the prince, and you are doing well. As your uncle and teacher, then I will train you well and surpass your father as soon as possible. , strive to take over from your father as soon as possible.

Well, even if Li Shimin did have such an idea before, isn't it a bit too arrogant to do so, and let the prince directly contact the military power, is it really good to do so.

The matter of military power is really too sensitive, really, especially for Li Shimin, it's really sensitive in his heart, because he himself really killed his brother and imprisoned his father to take the position by relying on military power.

But what he is most afraid of is that he will fall into such a situation in the future. Zhang Nuo has military power in his hands, he is not afraid, but it is more of a kind of feeling that I can't beat you anyway, and you have no idea about taking my throne. I just act like it doesn't exist.

But Li Chengqian is different, this is the heir he has appointed, whether it is legal or human, as long as he is overthrown, he can succeed to the throne smoothly.

Of course, it might not go so smoothly in the end, but as long as Zhang Nuo supports him, Li Chengqian will definitely be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, and everyone knows this.

However, looking back, Li Shimin knew that Zhang Nuo would not do such a thing, because he himself didn't want to be an emperor, so why would he support an emperor?

But this person is so contradictory, some things have really formed a conditioned reflex, just like some people were bitten by a dog when they were young, so even when they grow up, when they are barked by a dog, it is obviously a small dog. Little Teddy is even a Chihuahua, but still can't help but be startled.

This is conditioned reflex, or it can be said to be scared out of the shadows.

But Li Shimin's other things are fine, but the matter of military power, especially the matter of letting the heir touch military power, is too much to provoke his most sensitive nerves.

Really, other things are easy to talk about, but when Zhang Nuo made it clear that he would lead Li Chengqian to familiarize himself with the two newly formed armies, and even bluntly told Li Chengqian that these two armies would rule the world in the future.

To be honest, Li Shimin was a little nervous. Although he didn't admit it, he knew in his heart that he was afraid.

This is not a joke, this is the truest feeling in the heart of Li Shimin, a man who won the throne with a gun.

Even if he knew what Zhang Nuo said was true, besides Zhang Nuo, he was the only one who could mobilize the navy and air force. No matter how prince Li Chengqian was, he couldn't mobilize the navy and air force, but he was still afraid.

Because he clearly knows that people are not machines. Machines can run stably according to the preset routines. As long as they are not broken, they can continue to run. But people are different. When the two troops appear and trust is gradually cultivated, who can guarantee that Li Chengqian, as the prince, will not be able to transfer these two troops one day.

You know, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of ministers from the dragon, let alone speculators. With Li Shimin or Zhang Nuo in his presence, naturally no one would dare to mobilize troops to do something at the expense of the world.

But if something happens to him, or the situation is not favorable to him, or if Zhang Nuo has no intention of disobedience, but is delayed or even trapped by something, then Li Chengqian really can't mobilize the navy and air force Well?

Li Shimin gave himself the answer almost immediately, absolutely not. No matter how special the navy and air force are, they are the troops of the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the master of the entire Tang Dynasty, it is true that Li Shimin can mobilize them.

As the founder, founder, and actual commander of the two armies, Zhang Nuo is also the beneficiary behind them. He can naturally mobilize them, but this situation is only for now. Slowly, the forces in the court will penetrate into it sooner or later. After all, the addition of batches of officers and recruits will more or less bring some new ideas.

So these people can still be like this in the future, can only he and Zhang Nuo be transferred?

Afraid!

Li Shimin is really afraid, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of not being the emperor, even if Li Chengqian has grown to a level that he is satisfied with, he will immediately give up the throne to Chan, and then drag Zhang Nuo to play around.

But he was really afraid that his heirs would reappear in the same situation as he did back then. Brothers fought against each other, which eventually caused the royal family to continue to make jokes.

He still remembers the scene when he broke into the palace and forced his father to abdicate with a sword with his elder brother's blood on it, when his father cursed at that time, it was a curse, a curse aimed at his blood .

So he is not afraid of anything else, only this, and sometimes when he dreams back at midnight, he is thinking, damn it, why doesn't Li Chengqian grow up quickly, and pass the throne to him earlier, not only can he be everywhere How wonderful it is to break the curse in a disguised form.

But in fact, when Li Chengqian really started to study and get in touch with military power according to the tradition that heirs should have, he was still worried and afraid.

Li Shimin just sat in his seat, his expression fluctuating in thought, and no one dared to disturb Li Chengqian and everyone present.

They are not stupid, they clearly know what His Royal Highness King Qin means today, but Zhang Nuo can mention it casually, because he is King Qin, he is the prince's teacher and uncle, and even this uncle is in front of the prince or in the whole royal family. , more like a real uncle than those real "imperial uncles".

At least they knew that none of the prince's uncles dared to teach Li Chengqian a lesson, not even a word of scolding, let alone beating, because the two were not at the same level.

This is not a difference of shit like a title, but a natural difference, one is just an idle prince, but the other is the heir to the empire.

But Zhang Nuo was different. In his eyes, the crown prince was nothing but Li Chengqian was just his nephew, so he could scold him as much as he wanted and beat him up!

Chapter 773 Li Shimin's Envy

Li Shimin's hesitation is normal in everyone's eyes. After all, this matter involves too many sensitive matters, such as the change of imperial power, military power, prince... Which of these is not a tiankeng with one kick and one thunder?

To put it bluntly, Zhang Nuo said this in front of Li Chengqian, even in public.

Otherwise, as long as other people have this kind of behavior, or even if it is not the same thing, just touch these similar things, Li Shimin will kill the other person without asking the first time he knows it.

The imperial power cannot be insulted. This is the iron law of the royal family. A courtier must have the consciousness of being a courtier. You are a courtier but you want to meddle in the royal family's affairs. Don't you want to rebel?

Li Shimin doesn't know what to say now. In fact, Zhang Nuo's arrangement is really nothing in the eyes of outsiders. He didn't arrange specific military positions, let alone any messy transactions. Wait and watch.

As Li Chengqian's uncle and teacher, there is really nothing wrong with doing this. Even as Li Chengqian's father, even though Zhang Nuo has clearly stated that he wants to use your son as a coolie, Li Shimin still has to thank him.

Because Zhang Nuo is really doing his duty as a teacher and uncle, many things don't depend on what people say, but on the result.

Li Shimin, as the emperor, knew this best. Zhang Nuo said that Li Shimin bullied him, so he bullied Li Chengqian. Why take out his anger on Li Shimin's son.

Li Shimin pretended not to hear these words, because it was nothing more than a joke between brothers, but what really left him speechless was that Zhang Nuo's next actions actually benefited Li Chengqian.

Just like what Zhang Nuo said to Li Chengqian, just take Li Chengqian by your side and watch Zhang Nuo handle those official and subsequent military affairs.

Then Li Chengqian will become the first batch of people who really participated in the war of the new army, and not from a certain angle, but from the perspective of the commander in chief to view the whole war.

To be honest, even Li Shimin is a little envious, this kind of opportunity is too rare.

He himself grew up in this way, but his starting point was too low compared to Li Chengqian. At the beginning, he could only practice martial arts and learn the art of war, which was all on paper. After that, he started from the vanguard step by step.

But Li Chengqian, he followed a commander from the beginning to witness and learn how the commander should work, how to dispatch and how to comprehensively consider in a war.

This kind of experience is really important for an heir to an empire.

Because in the future, no matter whether he is leading the army as a prince or an emperor, it is absolutely impossible for him to appear in the army in any other capacity, only as a commander in chief.

After all, when Li Shimin was a pioneer like before, he was not the king of Qin, he was just a direct descendant of the Li family, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms.

But when Li Tang founded the country, as the king of Qin, he could only be the commander in chief.Otherwise, who can be the commander-in-chief to lead him?

Li Chengqian's path in the future is like this, he will either not be able to go out, or he can only serve as the coach.

But only Li Shimin knew that without relevant experience, no matter how many military books he had read and how many times he had consulted with many veterans, it would be futile in the end. Experience is something that can only be realized by participating in it yourself.

Now that Li Chengqian has such an opportunity, Zhang Nuo will naturally be the commander in chief of this Fusang battle, and Zhang Nuo is not only a military commander, he is equivalent to an emperor in this battle, and he really wants everything from logistics to combat. Ask about everything.

Normally, no one except the emperor could do such a thing, and no one dared to do it, but now that Zhang Nuo was there, and there were so many messy professional affairs involved, no one except him could do it.

This is not a joke. Unless Li Shimin personally ordered the whole Koryo affair, even Changsun Wuji would not be able to move anyone in Pyongyang City. This place is not so much the land of the Tang Dynasty as it is Zhang Nuo's fiefdom. .

The guards here are hired by Zhang Nuo personally, and the officials here are appointed by Zhang Nuo alone. All the large industries here are either under the name of Zhang Nuo, or he has a part in it. Everything here is Zhang Nuo. I brought someone down personally...

There were even local Koreans here, because of disputes over property, but the clerks in the yamen used the terms of the Wu De Law to mediate for a long time. , said something casually, and then the matter was settled like this.

Not because of anything else, but from the eyes of these Koreans, this is the land of the King of Qin, and they are all the people of the King of Qin, what the King of Qin says about them.

They didn't understand Wu Delu, but they understood what King Qin said just now.

This is Zhang Nuo's influence throughout Korea!

Therefore, for this battle of Fusang, since it was necessary to rely on Koryo as a logistics and transit base, and to mobilize Koryo's civilian and military power as a supplement, Zhang Nuo was the only one who could coordinate and handle all of this.

And having such a person here is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing for the entire battle situation. After all, it is much more flexible for one person to lead the overall situation than a bunch of people working together.

However, because of this, Li Shimin had to lament that the eldest son of his family is so lucky. From such a young age, he was able to observe and understand the whole battle with a commander-in-chief from an overall perspective. How it works, this kind of opportunity is really rare.

This is actually what Zhang Nuo actually did. Don't look at what Zhang Nuo said, but in fact, Li Chengqian did get real benefits, and they were not ordinary benefits. It is undoubtedly many times stronger than those who say it nicely, but actually think of various ways to benefit themselves.

Li Shimin sighed silently, calmed down his mood, and looked at Li Chengqian, who had been standing obediently since he finished speaking, his face was a little pale due to nervousness and fatigue, with a complicated expression, and thought inexplicably in his heart, Perhaps this is Zhang Nuo's idea.

Cultivate an heir as soon as possible, and try to train the heir to be perfect, so that this empire can flourish, or this is Zhang Nuo's idea.

As for things like the change of imperial power, perhaps it is not within Zhang Nuo's consideration at all!

Chapter 774 For Li Chengqian's Education

Li Shimin finally nodded and agreed to Li Chengqian's request. After all, this request was not actually made by Li Chengqian. To put it bluntly, Li Chengqian came to talk to him about it today, but he should be happy. After all, Li Chengqian could directly agree to Zhang Nuo. Then just run over.

But he still came here and told everything honestly. Although it was more or less because he couldn't hide it, Li Shimin still had to admit that Li Chengqian was indeed an honest child.

After all, not to mention children, even adults have a fluke mentality. When faced with certain things, they always feel that maybe they will not have an accident, will not be caught, will not fail, will not...

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyone who has this kind of thinking has actually expected some bad endings, but they are deceiving themselves and only focus on the slightest possible success. This is the so-called fluke.

Others may be able to do the same. After all, at certain moments, small families need such gamble and persistence to fight their way out.

But Li Chengqian couldn't do it. As the future ruler of an empire, he stood at the top of the world, so why would he gamble?

Why did Li Shimin let Li Chengqian follow Zhang Nuo all the time?

It's not just for Li Chengqian to learn the strange knowledge from Zhang Nuo, but a deeper appeal is that Li Shimin hopes that Li Chengqian can learn the spirit of Zhang Nuo.

That's right, in Li Shimin's eyes, Zhang Nuo probably didn't realize that no matter what he did, his upright and dignified demeanor was actually more like an emperor than himself, the emperor on horseback.

It is a kind of self-confidence that grows from the bottom of my heart, it is a kind of calmness that can be treated indifferently in the face of any situation, and it is a kind of indifference that can be expressed openly whether it is war or development, conquest or negotiation.

This is actually a kind of real kingly style, not to say that this kind of person has no calculations, but that people like Zhang Nuo belong to the kind of people who even if I plot against you, they are plotting on the bright side, and they don't even bother to cover up their purpose , and then uprightly use the general trend and conspiracy to get what you want.

This kind of spirit and style fits well with the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that Li Shimin can't do it himself. Whether he is the emperor immediately or the throne has been snatched, his experience, personality and other factors determine that he can be tyrannical and benevolent, but he is It is impossible to keep everything upright like Zhang Nuo.

After all, although he was born in the Li family of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, the Li family was in dire straits at that time. It could be said that he was a man with his tail between his legs. Many things had to be obtained secretly, and he was careful in doing things.

Even when Li Shimin led the army to go out, due to the lack of soldiers, food and grass, not to mention armor and weapons, everything had to be carefully calculated.

People who grow up in this way, if they are rational enough, they will naturally be fine, but as long as they are a little careless, they will easily lose their grip. Either the hands are held too tightly and they seem to be a little clacking, or the hands are released too loosely. I feel that I don't take my own business as a business, and I can send everything out.

This can be seen from what Li Shimin has done in history.

But Li Chengqian is different. As I said before, Li Chengqian's starting point is too high, and he established the position of prince early. Datang is getting better and better, and his family is getting richer. It can be said that everything is developing for the benefit.

But because of this, everyone put forward higher demands on the future development of the empire and the heirs of the empire.

If there were still people who murmured about Zhang Nuo becoming the prince's teacher before, then after these two years, Zhang Nuo used his performance and Li Chengqian's growth to prove to everyone that he is the most suitable and the best prince. division.

Under his education, Li Chengqian became more and more methodical in handling things.At the same time, Zhang Nuo's "lazy" management style of catching the big and letting go of the small has been recognized by more and more civil servants and generals.

The vast majority of people think this management style is the best. There is a perfect management system. Everyone knows what they should do and what they should not do. They will be rewarded for what they do and punished for what they do. Just write clearly.

At the same time, the higher-ups didn't ignore it, but clearly pointed out the direction for everyone and drew a clear path to the front. Then everyone just needs to work hard and keep walking towards this path.

This is much better than the arguing and arguing with each other in the court before. The state of government changes three times a day is undoubtedly much better. No one will worry that what they are doing today will be wrong tomorrow, and there is no need to worry about whether it is a sudden change. Suddenly an idea popped up and caught everyone off guard.

This seemingly practice of putting rights in a cage restricts the rights at the top, but in fact Li Shimin and the top people understand that this actually magnifies the role of chess players invisibly.

That's right, Zhang Nuo is like a chess player. Everyone is a chess piece in his hands. He plans the direction of progress, determines the target of attack, and delineates the range of attack. It seems that everyone is busy, and the chess player Sitting on the sidelines is leisurely and leisurely, but in fact, when a chess piece wants to jump out of the original range or even the chessboard, the disaster is almost instantaneous!

Li Shimin hoped that Li Chengqian could learn these things. This is not a skill or skill, but a character and style, which is a bit out of date, but it is the most suitable style for Li Chengqian, the heir to the empire.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Nuo taught well, and Li Chengqian learned well.

And this is also the reason why Li Shimin finally agreed to Li Chengqian and let him participate in this exercise and subsequent battles.

Li Shimin sometimes wonders, who the hell is this son? How can he, who is a father, not care about being an uncle like Zhang Nuo in the end?

And Zhang Nuo is not just an ordinary person, it's really the kind that Li Chengqian will definitely be drawn to practice whenever he has a chance.

Li Shimin is really jealous sometimes, not just jealous of his son's unquestionably beautiful resume, the learning experience on it is too scary.

At the same time, he was jealous of Zhang Nuo. Li Shimin himself was not good at communicating with children, so Li Chengqian was far less open in front of him than in front of the eldest grandson empress.

It was fine before, but when Zhang Nuo appeared, he completely made up for the lack of fatherly love in Li Chengqian's mind, which made Li Shimin extremely envious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Chapter 775 Zhang Nuo's Dinner Class

After Li Chengqian's matter was settled, Zhang Nuo dragged Li Chengqian into work seriously.

Of course, Li Chengqian followed and watched honestly. At most, he just ran errands and acted as a servant to get things. Then he pretended that he didn't exist, and followed Zhang Nuo to see how he handled various affairs and how he explained to his subordinates. Work.

And when it was time to eat at night, Zhang Nuo would break down some things during the day in detail, explain them to Li Chengqian, let him know the intention of what he did, and the knowledge involved in it, etc. And if Li Chengqian didn't understand anything, he could take this opportunity to directly raise it, and Zhang Nuo would try his best to answer it.

For example, at this time Zhang Nuo was explaining to Li Chengqian his experience in handling work,

"Chengqian, you have to understand that you will lead the overall situation in the future. So, don't just focus on a certain place or a certain thing, you should pay attention to the whole and not the details!"

"It's not that the details are unimportant, but that people have their own ideas, and you can't ask everyone to be the same as you.

To put it bluntly, you are working for yourself, because Datang belongs to your family, but they are just working with wages, regardless of how glamorous they are after becoming an official, but in fact, let's think about it seriously, right? In fact, the shopkeepers in my shop mean the same thing? "

"I give them money, they work hard for me, and help me manage a bunch of people. Isn't it the same for the officials under your father?"

"You can ask them to work, ask them to be serious, but you can't demand that they must achieve a certain level. There are such people, but not everyone can achieve that level!"

"So, as a leader, what you should pay attention to is the speed and progress of the whole thing, not whether a certain detail is done perfectly. It is useless to pursue perfection. Maybe when you focus on those details , the progress of the whole project has slowed down, but you just don't know it, because you didn't pay attention to it at all!"

Li Chengqian was very familiar with this kind of teaching, especially after working in Lantian City, he spent almost every day eating at Zhang's house, so he was very familiar with such scenes.

Moreover, I have to say that Zhang Nuo deserves to be educated in later generations. For a kid like Li Chengqian, he didn't treat him as a junior to fool him. Instead, he regarded him as a little brother who followed behind. teach.

This made Li Chengqian very comfortable. When he was in the palace, what kind of life did he live? The masters were all old masters, who would scold him every now and then, saying that he didn't do well here and there Well, even if you sit down or walk in the wrong posture, you have to be disciplined.

Even if he finds his father, it's useless, because his father only believes that strict teachers lead to high-level apprentices, and he believes that the teachings of those great Confucians must be correct.Therefore, looking for his father might have to be scolded.

But it was different when it came to Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo first told him that he had to obey the rules when eating, sitting, and walking.
