Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Chengqian became the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty in such a confused manner. The incident happened so suddenly that the reign title had not yet been decided, so the reign title of Zhenguan was temporarily used.

After learning that Li Shimin had abdicated, the people of Chang'an City spontaneously bought flowers and placed them along the gate of the palace all the way to the original location of the Suzaku Gate.

After reconstruction, Chang'an City expanded by more than ten times. Only the city gate part of the city wall was retained, and the rest of the city wall was demolished.

Li Shimin sat in the back seat of Tang No. 1, watching the people along the street throwing scattered flower petals towards the car, and tears filled his eyes for a moment.

Yuchi Baoqi leaned over and said, "Oh, oh, oh, whose old Deng'er is this? Whose old Deng'er can't find his home? Why are you crying?"

Li Shimin said: "Get lost! Don't force me to slap you on such a festive day."

When they arrived at Prince Ying's mansion, Li Lizhi rushed over and hugged Li Shimin's arm: "Father!"

Li Shimin smiled: "My dear, where is Canglan? Is he being naughty again?"

"Emperor!"

A human-shaped cannonball at an extremely high speed hit Li Shimin's stomach straight away. Fortunately, Li Shimin had also taken high-level qi and blood pills, so nothing happened.

"Oh my dear, have you been doing your homework well recently? Your father and mother always complain that you don't study hard and don't do your homework. Tell me about it, Grandpa Huang."

Yuchi Canglan is mature beyond his years. The six-year-old sighed, "I'm already working on electronic pulse ejection and the development of new arresting cables in the engineering department, and all my homework is multiplication tables. Who can stand this?"

Yuchi Baoqi pulled out his belt and said, "Still talking nonsense! Mathematics is the foundation of all science and engineering subjects! Since you are so talented, it will only take you a few minutes to do these things. I will beat you to death."

The roar of motorcycles appeared outside the British palace, and a huge voice came from the gate.

"Let me see who you're going to beat to death?! Huh?! Canglan, come to Grandpa's side, I think your father is tired of living!"

Yuchi Canglan is indeed a smart man: "Grandpa, I'm fine, the emperor is protecting me, he can only talk to my dad, he doesn't dare!"

Yuchi Baoqi rolled his eyes and hit the little brat with his belt. It seemed that he was going for Yuchi Canglan, but all the belt went to Li Shimin.

"Ouch! You little bastard! You got a bad face! Xiaobao hit me!"

Yuchi Baoqi quickly tied his belt, bent down skillfully to avoid Yuchi Jingde's first flying boot, bent down to avoid Yuchi Jingde's belt, and then stepped back to avoid the helmet that was chopped down from above.

"Hehe, after being beaten for so many years, you should always summarize how you got beaten. I'll leave it to you, Lizhi. I'll go hide at my eldest brother-in-law's place!"

Yuchi Baoqi jumped onto the top of the wall in a few moves. Little Canglan looked at his father's agile skills and was full of admiration: "Dad! Are we going to shift our strategy again?"

Yuchi Baoqi had disappeared, but his voice came back: "What strategic shift? Your father and I are attacking in another direction!"

---------------------

"The vastness of the universe is the origin of all things. The Five Elements end the universe. The true spirit spreads the energy and governs Kunyuan. In the flourishing Kunyuan era, all things grow. The Tang Dynasty is determined to forge ahead and soar."

Li Chengqian held a fountain pen in his hand: "I have no objection."

Yuchi Baoqi tapped the imperial desk with his fingers: "What do you mean by 'gu'? What's the use of 'gu'? I always forget to change my words to 'gu'. Remember this."

Li Chengqian slapped his lips lightly and said, "Brother-in-law, many court officials have reported that the Tianwei Army has expanded its recruitment on a large scale again."

Seeing that Yuchi Baoqi didn't respond, Li Chengqian coughed twice: "Can we keep the secret better? These court officials are not core figures. Where did they get the information? Tianwei Army..."

Li Chengqian tapped the table several times with his pen, hoping that Yuchi Baoqi could understand what he meant, implying that there was a traitor inside the Tianwei Army who leaked the information.

Yuchi Baoqi was speechless: "Your Majesty, go out more often when you have time. The Tianwei Army's recruitment notices are everywhere in the streets and alleys. There is no need for any traitors or spies."

Li Chengqian's head was buzzing. "No wonder Minister Fang and Minister Du didn't react. It's just that the low-ranking people below are reporting to the emperor every day. It's so annoying."

"I... uh, can I ask my brother-in-law how many Tianwei troops he wants to recruit?"

Yuchi Baoqi held up two fingers, and Li Chengqian looked at them and said, "Two hundred thousand is fine. I think the Tianwei Army is a little short now. I feel like there are too few of them. I feel like there are shivers behind my head when I go to bed at night. More is better, more is better."

Yuchi Baoqi shook his head, still holding up two fingers. Li Chengqian gave a thumbs up and said, "Two million, good, good, great. Is there any problem with the military expenditure?"

Yuchi Baoqi took a deep breath and said, "I can't tell you the specific details. You have to understand that I have my own considerations and difficulties. You won't believe it if I tell you, so let's just maintain the tacit understanding that we should have."

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly. His brother-in-law obviously didn't know that he had had a bizarre dream before: "Isn't it a waste to fight Japan with two million?"

Yuchi Baoqi's pupils shrank: "Your Majesty, how did you know that I want to attack Japan?"

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Yuchi Baoqi's expression: "Hey, that's what I said. Isn't that Japanese dog the one that my brother-in-law hates and detests the most in the world?"

Yuchi Baoqi was silent for a long time: "Whether you believe it or not, this expanded Tianwei Army will not fight in this world. I recruited them to fight in another place."

What surprised Yuchi Baoqi was that Li Chengqian showed no emotion after hearing this. He just took out the token of the Hundred Cavalry Division and said: "At any time, for any need, for any action, it is as if I am here in person."

"You and I are of one mind, leading the Tang Dynasty to prosperity and strength, and to an unknown future. I trust you. I don't want to be alone. I want to be your brother-in-law and stand with you forever."

For the first time, Yuchi Baoqi felt Li Chengqian's passion. There was anger in Li Chengqian's eyes, and they both knew clearly that this anger was directed at the enemy.

"Weapons research and development will take a long time, and going to war is not a short-term thing. We may be old by then."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly changed the subject: "Canglan is already seven years old, and Duan'er is about to celebrate his sixth birthday. Let's send them both to the farm. After they turn twelve, they will be packed up and sent to a poor and remote place."

Li Chengqian knew very well what Yuchi Baoqi meant. In the future of the Tang Dynasty, Yuchi Canglan would be in charge of military affairs and economy, while his eldest son Li Duan would be in charge of politics and people's livelihood. The two of them should endure hardships together and make achievements in advance, which would be beneficial to them in the future.

After all, their blood relationship is too close, and they cannot rely on marriage to maintain their relationship in the future. They can only be tied together by the bond of brotherhood.
