"May I ask Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, what method was used to solve this problem?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Zhang Anan, who immediately stepped forward, his face full of smugness.

"This problem can be solved using methods of physics!"

What is physics?

This brings us to Zhang Anan's blind spot in knowledge; he has no idea what physics is, and it's a miracle he can even remember the word.

"This is a closely guarded secret of our Celestial Empire!"

"Uh..."

"May I ask Your Majesty, who solved this problem?"

"this……"

Zhang Anan and Li Shimin both hesitated, but in the end Li Shimin spoke up to explain.

"This interpretation was given by one of my imperial grandsons!"

"ah?"

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Zhang Anan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Is His Majesty about to acknowledge his eldest grandson?

Yuchi Jingde, who was dozing off against a pillar, immediately perked up upon hearing this.

What does that mean?

His own apprentice is going to return to the royal family?

Only Li Jing narrowed his eyes, vaguely guessing what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking.

His Majesty the Emperor is probably just paving the way for his eldest grandson, so that a hasty recognition of his eldest grandson in the future would not cause a huge uproar.

"Your Majesty, this foreign subject congratulates you. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and the nation to have such a brilliant grandson!"

"That's what I think too, hahaha!"

The Goryeo envoy was merely an interlude; it would neither affect the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty nor Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty has ordered me to inspect the troops in Guanzhong in advance for Your Majesty's personal expedition against Goguryeo. I would like to ask Your Majesty when, when and where the military review will be held!"

Upon hearing the Minister of War's words, Yuan Zuosheng's expression immediately changed drastically.

His mission to the Tang Dynasty was solely to dissuade the Tang from sending troops!

"His Majesty……"

Just as Yuan Zuosheng was about to speak, Li Shimin interrupted him.

"We, the emperor and his ministers, are discussing matters; you, a mere outsider, should refrain from interrupting!"

"I……"

"Let's set the date for April, and as for the location... let's set it outside Xuanwu Gate!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince often tells me that he wants to serve Your Majesty in the Eastern Expedition. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow the Crown Prince to participate in this military review?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately looked at Li Zhi, who was standing to the side.

Li Zhi panicked upon seeing this, because his uncle had never mentioned this matter to him!

But now that his father has noticed, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Father, what my uncle said is true. Your son does indeed want to contribute to the eastern expedition and wants to lead the Crown Prince and his six troops to accompany you on the expedition!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed to hear this.

"Okay, okay!"

"I am deeply gratified that my Crown Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty has such a heart!"

"I have specially granted Crown Prince Liu a permission to participate in the military review. As for whether he can go on the expedition with me, that depends on his performance as Crown Prince Liu, hahaha!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Jing, who had been sitting on the side watching the show, immediately kicked Yuchi Jingde.

"Old bear, wake up! Our apprentice's home has been raided!"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde quickly moved back and whispered in Li Jing's ear.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you see Changsun Wuji suggest that the Crown Prince lead six troops to participate in the military parade?"

"I heard that, but what does that have to do with us?"

"Don't our disciples also have their own military posts?"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately realized what was going on.

Yes!

Since the Crown Prince's Six Guards can participate, then Li Jue's grandson's Sanglin Garrison Commander's Office can also participate!

Thinking of this, Yuchi Jingde stepped out from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

As soon as Yuchi Jingde spoke, all the civil and military officials looked over, and even Li Shimin glanced at Yuchi Jingde with considerable surprise.

This guy is a notorious slacker who never makes a sound during court sessions. What's gotten into him today?

"What is it!"

"May I ask Your Majesty, does this inspection of the troops at Xuanwu Gate include all the military garrisons in Guanzhong?"

Li Shimin immediately understood what Yuchi Jingde meant; he was trying to secure an opportunity for his apprentice!

Although Li Shimin was very pleased with Yuchi Jingde's actions in protecting his eldest grandson, he did not want his grandson to participate in the military exercise.

Because after this military exercise, he will lead these people on a personal expedition.

"Naturally, all military commands are eligible, but they must be at full strength and be of the highest rank!"

The Tang Dynasty's Zhechong Prefecture was divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. The upper grade had 1,200 people, the middle grade had 1,000 people, and the lower grade had 800 people.

Sanglin Garrison Prefecture was just established before the Lunar New Year and has not yet begun recruiting soldiers.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's opinion, let alone training the soldiers, Li Jue probably wouldn't even be able to recruit 1,200 soldiers in three months!

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde frowned slightly. He had already sensed His Majesty's malice; it was obvious that His Majesty didn't want his disciple to participate in the military parade!

"Your Majesty understands..."

After saying this, Yuchi Jingde added a sentence in his mind.

I will cherish my own apprentices and never give up on them!
