Chapter 527: Changes in a Year

"Aisu.com" access address

In the following days, the whole Chang'an was spent in the laughter of Brother Huan. Because there was nothing else, a prince would marry or a princess would marry every half a month in the royal family.

Moreover, every wedding is very grand, and there are even people who are flirting with this calculation.

This started with the marriage of the eldest princess. The royal family has held four weddings in the past two months, namely the wedding of the eldest princess Li Wei, the Runan princess Li Yue, the Zhao princess Li Ke, the Qin princess Li Tai and others. Some people have counted the sum of the money sent by Prince Li Chengqian alone exceeds 100 million yuan.

But what they didn't know was that a lot of this money was their own, and many of the rare treasures that were extremely precious in their eyes were developed by the Academy of Sciences and produced by workshops under the Royal Chamber of Commerce. In fact, there was not that much money.

But the outside world didn't know about these, so the name of the merchant prince who was given to Li Chengqian was called out by the people again.

Li Chengqian was also a little helpless about this, but after only knowing it, he smiled and didn't care at all.

However, with Li Wei and his friends getting married, the East Palace has become less lively. Now they have their own small homes, so they don’t come here often. Especially with Li Yue getting married, the amusement park built for their younger brothers and sisters in the back garden of the East Palace has gradually become abandoned. After all, without Li Yue’s care, Li Chengqian did not dare to let his younger brothers and sisters play there at will. In addition, they are all older, and many of them go to Hongwenguan to go to school, so they come to play during vacation.

It is worth mentioning that because of the appearance of Li Chengqian, there were no younger brothers and sisters he should have. He had a few more sons born in the past few years and Li Fu, the Thirteenth Old Li Fu. In recent years, his father has not given him a younger brother and sister.

Of course, this is also my mother. She has always been healthy and imperfect. Unlike the history of her previous life, when her mother dies, Li Shimin lets herself go in various ways.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuan also lived well and did not die in the same way as historical time.

Li Yuan lives a very comfortable life now. He is fine with his young grandchildren, and often takes time to educate Li Chengqian's uncles, and sometimes comes to the East Palace to see Li Yao and the others.

It seemed as if time passed slowly. In a year, there was no major event in the Tang Dynasty. Everything was implemented as planned. The Tang Dynasty is now like every day, with new changes every day.

During this year, it is worth mentioning that Li Chengqian had several more nieces and nieces, namely Li Wei's son Xue Ming, Li Yue's daughter Li Xiaoting, Li Ke's daughter Li Qing, and Li Tai's son Li Hao.

The birth of these little guys, Li Chengqian, is a uncle who has suffered blood once, but Li Chengqian is willing to do so.

After all, the one who changes the most among the brothers and sisters, Li Chengqian, is the fifth brother Li You.

One month ago, Li You, who completed the defense change and reported to the president of Chang'an, became more calm. He was also named King of Qi by Li Shimin by Li Shimin and his official position was promoted to General Xuanwei, who was above the fourth rank.

This defense change is also a normal rotation. The purpose is to transfer back to the White Tiger Guard and Wolf Guard who have been stationed on the border for more than a year. The other is the three battlefields opened up by the Tang Dynasty over the past year. Every six months, a large army has entered to fight against the Western Turks and Tubo. Now the four armies of nearly 200,000 people can control the situation well.

So Li Shimin transferred the White Tiger Guard and the Wolf Guard back to correct the problem, and at the same time he also wanted to use these two young troops of war to show the turmoil that might arise in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

As for why the Jinwu Guards and Xuanjia Army were not used, it was because these two armies were led by Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong half a year ago to go north to find trouble for Goguryeo, and at the same time opened up the fourth battlefield of the Tang Dynasty.

It is also the last training ground in Li Chengqian's plan, where there is also a new army composed of nearly 10,000 yuan, composed of various garrisons, and is fighting in rotation.

Although these four battlefields consume astronomical money every day and feel like they are military and powerful, their role is also huge, that is, they have cultivated hundreds of war veterans for the Tang Dynasty and caused many garrisons in the Tang Dynasty to be laid off.

Of course, most of these abolished garrisons are now in Daozhou around Chang'an, and all the public security issues that are vacant for these abolished garrisons are taken over by the Eagle Guard.

So the exhibition of Eagle Guards this year was also huge. It now covers most of the entire Gyeonggi Province, Guannei Province, Xijing, Shannan West Road and Jiannan Province under Chang'an.

As for the addition of Eagle Guard personnel, it is not a problem because of the existence of the Military Academy and the four major battlefields.

After all, people come down from the four major battlefields every day. Some of these people can enter the military academy for their military merits, and some are sent down because of injuries. Many of the injured have no bad records and have military merits have joined the Eagle Guard.

At the same time, the Military Academy is also responsible for short-term training of the talents needed by the Eagle Guard. In addition, the Military Academy also has soldiers from the battlefield who come down to the battlefield after several months of designated study, and after completing the study, they go to the battlefield again.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty is like a high-operation machine, investing a lot of resources every day, selecting batches of elite soldiers and generals for the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it is also undergoing a major change of blood, eliminating those who are living in the garrison and waiting to die.

But the most important thing is that it is paving the way for the entire Tang Dynasty to lay out the Eagle Guard. This is the result that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and his son want the most. Although it seems cruel and ruthless, this is a necessary process.

Otherwise, the Western Turks and Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty can destroy them in minutes. Even Tubo gave the Tang Dynasty a year to adapt to the plateau climate. Tubo was a piece of fat that the Tang Dynasty loved and said it would take it down and you would take it down.

It is worth mentioning that under the instruction of Li Chengqian, the small Nanzhao Kingdom in the south has occupied most of the soldiers recruited by Li Ke over the years and the Turkic soldiers he conquered by the Eastern Turkic Republic. After several years of development, it has even formed combat power.

So after Li Ke got married and had children, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian felt that the time was ripe and wanted Li Ke to go out and make a try.

But because there is no such precedent, they are afraid of any changes in the Tang Dynasty, so they recalled the White Tiger Guard and the Wolf Guard.

And on this day, Li Shimin set his life after the Lantern Festival.
