How could Li Shimin not hope that Li Chengqian wouldn't go?
But he also knew that if Li Chengqian didn't experience a storm, he would never be able to take on such a great responsibility.
And Qiuci City was a necessary condition for Li Chengqian's growth.
Although the court's attitude toward him had somewhat changed because of Hou Junji's night raid, this was still not enough.
At the very least, what Li Chengqian had done so far was far from enough. After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the hope of the Tang Dynasty.
Last time, not even Li Shimin dared to believe that these schemes had come from Li Chengqian's mouth.
In his view, this was nothing more than Zhang Feng exerting a great deal of effort behind the scenes, and he had only come to convey the message.
Li Shimin had also asked Zhang Feng about Li Chengqian's trip to Qiuci, and Zhang Feng hadn't been too worried. Today, when Li Shimin said that the temperature had plummeted, he hadn't even said that Li Chengqian couldn't go.
This meant that Li Chengqian's trip would probably go without any mishaps.
After all, Zhang Feng had said that he would bring the best equipment with him.
Moreover, he would have Gao Zhi and Niu Jinda with him. In this way, there would be no problem with his safety.
Li Shimin wanted to see if Li Chengqian could command a campaign without Zhang Feng!
Li Shimin was very ambitious for this battle.
Not only did he want to wipe away his previous humiliation and strike fear into the Turks, he also wanted to use this battle to slaughter his way into the Turks. This was only one of his goals. The other was to test this batch of military equipment and see when it could be used as a killing machine on the battlefield.
Most importantly …
Intimidate!
It had been a very long time since the Tang Dynasty had won a major battle.
Countless people were waiting to see how he would deal with this situation in Qiuci. The slightest mistake would be a fuse. Not only would the Tubo and the other members of the Tang Dynasty have their own ideas, Gaoju Li and the Wei Clan would also be shaken!
Thus, for this battle …
Li Shimin was very greedy. Not only did he want to win beautifully, he also wanted to show off the might of the Tang Dynasty.
And the Crown Prince's personal expedition was a very good gimmick.
At this time, Li Shimin also weighed the pros and cons for a long time before he waved his hand and said, "This matter has been decided. If there's nothing else, you may all leave!"
"We — — we will take our leave!"
Originally, they still had something to say, but after seeing Li Shimin's current state, they could only swallow their thoughts.
After all, this matter was almost a foregone conclusion.
There was no point in saying anything more.
He could only wait until the morning assembly tomorrow to see if there was a way to cover up this matter.
After all, in terms of eloquence, all the generals in the imperial court added together would not be a match for the civil officials.
After everyone left, Xiao Guizi entered the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience."
Li Shimin was stunned and asked, "How long has he been here?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been here for some time."
Li Shimin smiled faintly, "He knows how to judge the situation. Let him in!"
However, Xiao Guizi hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is fully equipped and is waiting on the side at this time. The Crown Prince asked this servant to ask Your Majesty if he could bring a weapon to the audience?"
Li Shimin was happy to hear this.
He waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Guizi to let Li Chengqian in.
In fact, Li Chengqian had been here for a long time.
After dealing with the aftermath of today's phosphate fertilizer factory, it was the overwhelming business and other matters.
When these matters were finished, it was already around five o 'clock. After completing the handover of related matters with the three departments, Li Chengqian originally wanted to enter the palace first to meet the Emperor. .
However, he met Old He, who told him to quickly go to Zhang Feng's residence.
When he arrived at the residence, he found that Gao Kan had been there for a long time and was now waving a nine-foot-long halberd!
Moreover, he was waving it vigorously.
How could Li Chengqian not be excited?
Because he had seen all the weapons produced by the Tang Dynasty, but he had never seen such a magical thing.
Moreover, the shaft of this halberd was emitting a silver light, which meant that the body of this halberd was made of steel!
How could he not be excited and envious?
As soon as he arrived, Gao Kan hurriedly brought him to see Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything. He just showed him a map and a sand table and asked him to control the defense of the city with 100,000 people.
Then, he inexplicably threw a big box to him.
The box was very heavy.
At the very least, it took him a lot of effort to bring the box to the courtyard.
When he opened the box, he was instantly blinded by the neat set of equipment.
The armor was in the style of the Mingguang Armor, except that it was mixed with a more compact armor-making technology. The scales on it were like fish scales, divided into three layers. The first layer was as thin as a fingernail, and it was connected by wires. The second layer was as big as a copper coin, and the most important layer was the third layer, which was the size of a palm.
And this was only a breastplate.
When he took out the breastplate, in addition to two wrist guards, there was a silver arm guard that connected the breastplate and wrist guards with layers of fine wires. However, on the arm guard, there were two things similar to the Tiger-subduing Tiger.
The Qixia armor was a leg guard and a plate armor.
And a pair of boots.
The boots were almost. They were all covered with a thick layer of steel.
This was also the heaviest thing besides the breastplate.
Other than that, the leg guards, wrist guards, and so on only weighed a few kilograms.
However, this also caused Li Chengqian to be greatly shocked.
Could this thing be worn?
He didn't know why this armor was made like this.
And under this set of armor, there was something that made Li Chengqian's eyes light up. It was a cloak that he was wearing at this time.
At this time.
Li Chengqian carried a longbow on his back and a spear in his hand. On his right belt hung a crossbow and a quiver of arrows. On his left waist hung a modao that shone with silver light. Along the way, he walked into the imperial study.
As soon as he entered, Li Shimin's eyes widened.
