"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the eldest grandson is only eleven years old this year, isn't he?"
"yes!"
"The eldest grandson is so young, yet he already understands the methods of training soldiers. In the future..."
What about the future?
"Your humble servant dares not say..."
Li Shimin laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if he rebels against me, I'd be happy to accept it, hahaha!"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Li Shiji was immediately filled with turmoil.
Is Your Majesty considering changing the heir apparent to the eldest grandson?
Has so much changed in Chang'an in just one year since he left?
no!
I'll have to find Cheng Yaojin and ask him properly later!
An hour later, the entire army arrived in Youzhou.
Because Youzhou City had a complete military camp and a palace built specifically for Li Shimin, Li Shimin ordered the entire army to enter the city to rest.
After two months of marching, 50,000 people finally found proper barracks.
In fact, Li Shimin was also very tired. For the past two months, he had not visited any towns along the way, and had insisted on sharing weal and woe with his soldiers.
Now that there's a palace to stay in, I can finally take a nice hot bath.
While Li Shimin was taking a bath, Li Shiji forcibly pulled Cheng Yaojin aside and bombarded him with questions.
Cheng Yaojin was also very itchy all over and wished he could jump into hot water right now and wash himself thoroughly.
"Old Li, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"I'm not asking anything... I just want to know, when His Majesty personally leads the expedition against Goguryeo, who will be left to oversee the situation in Chang'an?"
"You must have heard about this, haven't you seen the official documents from the imperial court?"
Li Shiji immediately opened his eyes and started talking nonsense.
"without!"
"Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu!"
"Where is the Crown Prince?"
"The Crown Prince is overseeing the state, and these four are assisting him..."
"Oh oh oh..."
"Old Cheng, why is the eldest grandson accompanying His Majesty on a personal expedition?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately grinned mischievously.
"Old man, you've finally shown your true colors, haven't you? Hahaha!"
Li Shiji smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
"Old friend, I've been away from the court for a year now, and I really have no idea what's going on there. If you know anything, please let me know!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin looked around and then lowered his voice.
Just as you guessed!
"ah?"
"What did I guess? I didn't guess anything!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't believe Li Shiji's nonsense at all. This guy was extremely cunning and treacherous, and he could come up with dozens of bad ideas in the blink of an eye.
Whether you guessed it or not, you know the answer in your heart!
"But you want me to say that? Heh heh, no way!"
