Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

"Runde, don't talk big. This little iron bar is really worth a thousand troops?" Li Shimin fiddled with the bent iron bar in his hand, and looked suspiciously at Chen Yin beside him.

The giant butter candle in the hall was burning brightly, clearly illuminating Chen Yin's expression. To be precise, at this moment, his face didn't have any expression, and he was completely serious about his business, which invisibly increased his credibility.

He said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Then, under Li Shimin's probing eyes, Chen Yin completely told what he had seen and heard, and occasionally used his fingers to draw on his palm, which seemed to be completely regarded as a horseshoe.

In his early years, almost all of Li Shimin fought on the battlefield, and he had a deep understanding of creatures like horses and cavalry. From Chen Yin's vivid narration, it is not difficult for him to imagine the effect of the curved iron bar in his hand if it is nailed to the horse's shoe.

If anyone had said such things in front of Li Shimin before this, he would have laughed out loud, and most likely would have given comments like "unheard of". However, at this moment, he had to admit with a wry smile that unheard of things may not be wrong or ridiculous.

If a thing is ridiculed and criticized just because it is unheard of, then perhaps some people will pay for their stupidity when it turns out which side is the ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Li Xin's monkey-like smile appeared unconsciously in Li Shimin's mind. He couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

This brat, if he had such a good thing, he didn’t know how to take it out sooner. If he had this kind of thing earlier, he might have been able to defeat the Turks in the first place, and he didn’t have to sign the shameful Weishui alliance!

Of course, he also knew that this was just wishful thinking. Not to mention that Li Xin was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, a kid who didn't understand any major military affairs, but the reason why Datang was beaten all the way to the city of Chang'an by the Turks back then, there are actually many reasons in detail. Complicated content, the weakness of the cavalry can only be regarded as a moderate one among them.

But even putting aside this reason, Li Shimin has a good reason to gnash his teeth at Li Xin. On the one hand, it is because Li Xin keeps coming up with new things, all of which people have never seen or understood before, and they can solve some problems very effectively.

In contrast, Li Shimin couldn't help doubting himself and the IQ of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: Why couldn't they think of such simple things? This of course makes people feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Li Xin obviously showed almost endless talent and wisdom, but he refused to accept the official position no matter what. This is like a peerless beauty who keeps posing in front of you, but doesn't allow you to touch even a single hair of her, which is really unreasonable.

"I didn't expect that a man as wise as Runde would be defeated by an iron bar one day." After a long time, Li Shimin said with a wry smile, not knowing whether he was making fun of Chen Yin or himself.

Before such a thing happened, who would have thought that the two most cunning old foxes in Datang would have a day when they would have nothing to do with the little fox?

Chen Yin shook his head, and said: "The King of Chu is really talented. The old minister is ashamed, how dare he pretend to be smart?" He really admired Li Xin's talent.

Li Shimin smiled and comforted him: "As Xin'er himself said, he's just a little clever. Why should Runde worry about it? Speaking of which, he has some self-knowledge, so he won't be cocky when he has some achievements. Whether it is When it comes to government affairs, or the national economy and the people's livelihood, Runde is a thousand times better than Xin'er, and I will still rely on you in the future."

This is true. Li Xin is certainly not stupid, but the reason why he can show such an amazing talent, in essence, is because he has a soul from the afterlife in his body, he is a reborn person, nothing more. He has always had a clear understanding of this. He knew very well that without these things, he could only be regarded as a smart young man at best, and he was absolutely incomparable with the gang of old foxes in the court who were one in a million.

Chen Yin sighed and said: "The old minister has only had a few years more food than His Royal Highness the King of Chu. As long as the King of Chu has a few years of experience and gain experience, he will definitely be a minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future. When he reaches the age of the old minister, he will definitely win. It is a thousand times better than an old minister."

Li Shimin was very happy to hear that the minister he valued admired Li Xin so much. After all, Li Xin was raised by him alone. Although strictly speaking, all the talents that Li Xin has shown so far have nothing to do with him, after all, according to Li Xin's explanation, all these strange knowledge came from the imaginary immortals.

However, none of this prevents Li Shimin from being proud of Li Xin.

"Forget it, this kid solved our problem this time. It seems that if you want to get him in the court, you have to find another opportunity."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin and Chen Yin looked at each other and smiled, both happy and helpless.
