Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1071;

Chapter 26;

"Only the eighth grade official?"

"Isn't that a big deal?"

Li Shimin's expression was very surprised, as if Li Yu beheaded a third-rank official;
"Let me ask you, in those years, the scholars who sat quietly at the gate of the imperial city, those scholars in Shandong, what rank were they?"

"This……"

"I ask you how many grades are they?"

"No product."

"You also know that there is no product?"

"Um, I know."

"Then do you know, why don't I dare to kill half of them?"

"Because they are scholars?"

"nonsense!"

"Don't you think about it? Which court dares to kill those scholars indiscriminately?"

"But Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief has already convicted those criminals, and their heads have fallen to the ground for two days."

"Hey, I have to wipe his ass, but this time I have to let him know clearly, otherwise he will just ignore his head and his ass in the future."

"But Your Majesty, handsome of his temperament, if you want him to understand something, you have to ask him to deal with those messy things himself. You can tell him after you have dealt with everything, I'm afraid... it won't work. What a big deal."

"Well, forget it, forget it, let's talk about your son's affairs, I am very interested, why do you have to check in such detail all of a sudden, is there another war going to happen?"

Li Shimin's psychology was a little bit turbulent.

What he misses the most is the various forces on the vast grassland in the north.

Since ancient times, the Han people have been in constant conflict with the ethnic groups on the grasslands, and there is hardly any peace!

really!

Li Shimin's worries were not groundless.

Qian Dehai responded very cautiously;

"Well, I told you, patriarch, don't be tempted. I heard that the officials of the three provinces and six ministries are discussing countermeasures every day. Your Majesty, don't worry about it."

"Discuss every day? Return three provinces and six ministries?"

"Hey! Sure enough, it has something to do with what I'm afraid of."

"Talk about yourself, no matter how big the matter is, how big can it be?"

"It's nothing more than that the Tielana eight-surnamed tribe organized troops to invade the Central Plains, or the Tubo king packed up Xue Yantuo's remnants and defeated generals, and made a comeback."

"Ah, Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."

"exactly?"

"Why is this so?"

"Did Tie Le take action, or did people from Tubo Daxue Mountain come?"

"Or Xue Yantuo's remnants and defeated generals, or the old Turkic troops rebelling?"

"There must be one? Why don't you make things clear?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the eight surnames of Tie Le have acted, and the Tubo side has united Xue Yantuo and the old Turkic tribes. What you said, Your Majesty, has completely moved."

"what?"

"Are they all in action?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, all actions have been taken."

"A few days?"

"From that night, on the fifth day after the general of Zuo Wuwei came to report to your Majesty, those wolf cubs have already started to act. I heard that the grassland has publicly dispatched troops, and the border has gathered 10,000+ Army horses, the slaves thought, it won’t be long before they will be able to get together neatly.”

"So fast."

"Wolf smoke... it's rising again!"

After Li Shimin sighed expressionlessly, he didn't say anything more. He just picked up the tea bowl on the desk and tasted it quietly. No one knew what he was thinking.

After drinking tea for a while, Li Shimin raised his head and ordered;

"The decree continues, I'm going to see the military camp of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace."

"According to the order, the servants will make arrangements immediately."

"good."

Li Shimin is not a waste, he just got the erysipelas because he was deluded by those two fake Taoist priests and became obsessed with the art of immortality.

After waking up, he listened to Li Yu's dissuasion and stopped studying these things.

Li Yu made it very clear that the art of longevity has existed since ancient times, but it is all controlled by the top three guardians of Taoism.

Even Sun Simiao, who lived for an unknown number of years, also learned the skills of medicine and longevity from the previous Zuo Dharma protector.

Without the approval of the three guardians, of course Sun Simiao would not easily teach others the secrets of Taoism he learned.

After all, what Taoism talks about is the law of fate. Without the law of fate, even the supreme Taoists of the past dynasties will not have the fate to live forever.

Those who practice alchemy on the market are all charlatans in all likelihood, so don't believe them.

Knowing this, Li Shimin cut off the idea of ​​longevity.

The masters of medicine arranged by Li Yu carefully recuperated their bodies, and they turned the crisis into safety.

In fact, Li Yu didn't say too much. The real situation is that Li Shimin could have a lifespan of more than 80 years, but he took some messy pills, which hurt his acquired energy. Today's lifespan is not much left. It was the news that Sun Simiao came out of the mountain according to Taoist law and gave Li Shimin a diagnosis and treatment.

Sun Simiao made it very clear that Li Shimin should be reincarnated in three years, or five or seven years later, and become a human being again.

Li Yu carefully recalled the history he had learned. Although he didn't remember clearly, he still had the impression that Tang Taizong Li Shimin would die within three to five years.

Before noon, Li Shimin's holy driver arrived, in the camp led by the sixth and right guards of the East Palace.

In the Tang Dynasty, the six rates of the prince, also known as the six rates of the East Palace, were the rate of the left and right guards of the prince, the rate of the left and right ministers, and the rate of the left and right Qing Dao.Each leads soldiers and horses from 3 to 5 prefectures.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhechong Mansion was divided into upper, middle, and lower classes, with 1200 people in the upper class, 1000 people in the middle class, and 800 people in the lower class.

The Six Commanders of the East Palace were not the main force in the fight, so they were all low-level mansions, each with [-] troops.

Each of the three prefectures has more than 2000 troops, and the six rates add up to more than 1 people, which is equivalent to one of the current sixteen guards.

Because Li Jiancheng used to control the Prince Six Rates, had the upper hand, and almost killed Li Shimin, so he didn't like the Prince Six Rates very much.

The weapons used have always been the most shabby, and the supply of food and grass is not abundant.

It was also because of this that Li Chengqian was not praised by others, because the six rates he controlled were really insignificant, so Fatty Li Tai didn't take the prince's six rates seriously.

But this time, Li Shimin made up his mind that he must quickly complete the six princes, and distribute the best weapons just like the sixteen guards.

Because of the aliens on the grassland, most of them have taken action. If the court keeps half of it, I am afraid that the dynasty will change.

While muttering, Li Shimin stepped into the Yuanmen led by the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a good thing that I rewarded Ashinasheer and the Uyghur tribe back then, and fortunately, with the blessing of the heavens, both of these two tribes have a lot to do with that child, otherwise, if these two large tribes If the tribe rebels with one piece..."

"If that's the case, the consequences will be very, very...unimaginable!"

"Ok?"

After Li Shimin muttered, he looked up at the barracks, then hummed, and turned to look at Qian Dehai beside him;

"Are you also confused, what I said is to check the Six Rates of the East Palace, not to see the Imperial Army of the North and South Yamen, forget it, if you come, you will be safe, if you come, you can also look at the Imperial Army of the North and South Yamen. "

"Your Majesty, servant..."

Qian Dehai was about to explain, but was interrupted by Li Shimin waving his hand.

"Needless to say, you are not too young, and I won't blame you. It's okay to look at the imperial guards of the northern and southern yamen. I haven't checked the three guards for a long time. I should come and see them."

Why is Li Shimin so suspicious?Summarize? "

"Because what he saw was not dilapidated equipment, nor barracks that were so obsolete that they could be ignored. After he entered the gate, what he saw was a barracks of neat red brick buildings, row by row, according to the standard The gossip formation formed by the classical courtyard buildings, and the guards at the gate are all wearing the latest armor issued by the imperial court."

"The ones in his hands are Tie Shuo from the Ministry of Industry, and the razor-sharp Tang knife hangs from his waist."

There are several hundreds of troops in the barracks, and they pass by the gate for training soldiers and horses.

The team was neat and orderly, all the soldiers moved in unison, and the footsteps sounded like one person.

Needless to say?

Is this the three-guard imperial army with the best equipment? There is no other army in the world that can achieve such a high morale, besides the three-guard imperial army controlled by Li Yu?
So Li Shimin thought he went to the wrong barracks.

Qian Dehai wanted to explain, but was stopped by the emperor, so he could only shut up and walk with Li Shimin in the military camp led by the prince's left and right guards.

Of course, someone sent the report, so Qian Dehai was not in a hurry, and followed the emperor leisurely.

Li Shimin was an emperor on horseback. He was very pleased to see the morale of the soldiers in the barracks was high and they walked regularly.

Li Shimin, with his hands behind his back, nodded and looked around. When he saw the densely packed rows of barracks, Li Shimin scratched his head.

He had visited the barracks of the Forbidden Army of the North and South Yamen and Zuo Wuwei dozens of times, and he was no stranger to them.

"what happened?"

"How did you make the barracks so dense? How do you move around when you're not exercising?"

"Whose bad idea is this? It's nonsense! Don't think about the lives of the sons?"

"Really."

Li Shimin complained unhappily as he walked, and when he saw a general running over, he complained loudly on purpose, and when the approaching person approached, Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"What is Aiqing doing in the barracks here?"

"Isn't Aiqing supposed to be in the military barracks of the Eastern Palace? Why did you get to the Imperial Army Yamen here?"

"The end will see my lord long live."

"Ai Qing, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy."

"My lord, this is the barracks led by the left and right guards of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace. The last general is practicing the cavalry who is out of the front and rushing to kill the formation. We are late to greet you. Please punish our lord."

"This is Donggong Six... Oh, no crime, no crime, what is the crime?"

"I also had a sudden whim and wanted to come over to take a look, but I didn't say hello in advance. Aiqing is innocent."

"Thank you, my lord, for not sinning."

"Your Majesty, please slow down this way, the potholes here are trampled by children, please slow down."

"Oh, fine fine."

"Come, come, Aiqing and I will take a look around and see how majestic the boys are."

How experienced is Li Shimin?

He recovered from surprise in an instant, as if he had understood everything from the beginning.

"According to the order."

"By the way, how did you two guards build the barracks so densely?"

"Oh, by the way, such a magnificent barracks cost a lot of money, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the barracks of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace have been rebuilt, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, none of the old and old materials were discarded.

Even the Liuhe soil was re-chopped and used again, not a catty of loess was wasted, nor was a single rafter wasted. "

"That's right, you have to live a long life. I have also seen that most of the bricks are new, but many of the roofs are old tiles."

"Especially the three rows of barracks on the west side are all made of Liuhe clay. You have done a good job, and you really don't have luxury."

"Such a large-scale action really costs a lot of money. It's not a small amount. Ai Qing, the ministers in the three provinces and six ministries are indeed doing a good job, but they are not small in spending money!"

Li Shimin kept repeating the matter of spending money, and the generals who followed him shrank their shoulders.

Everyone understands the emperor's thoughts, and he is used to living in poverty.

Such a large-scale transaction, if it is revealed, the emperor will be so distressed that he will not be able to eat?

So everyone didn't want to be an early bird, and the leading Captain Zhechong could only bite the bullet and respond.

"Returning to my lord, the construction of the barracks led by the left and right guards did cost a lot of money. The general doesn't know how to calculate it. I only heard that more than 200 million silver coins were used. I don't know the details... "

"More than 200 million?"

"Um, yes, Your Majesty, it seems to be more than 260 million. The exact number, Your Majesty, you also know that the last generals will fight, and they are not good at this."

The responding Captain General didn't dare to wipe off the layer of sweat on his forehead.

All the barracks in the world save as much as they can, and the poor are frighteningly poor, and even if they have a little money, they can't afford to build a house.

Ten years ago, more than 200 million coins were enough to feed the world's soldiers and horses for a year. This is not a small amount.

The flesh on Li Shimin's face kept twitching, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva forcefully, he didn't get angry, after all, there were more than a dozen young generals around him, so he didn't want to make the leading general's face too ugly.

"Oh, two or three million yuan is not too little. Aiqing, ten years ago, the more than two million yuan would have to be saved by the court, and it would take half a year of quarreling to get it out."

"That's, that's, the last general has been with His Majesty for half his life, so he doesn't know about the past."

General Du Wei accompanied him with a smiling face, not daring to promise half a word indiscriminately, and spoke cautiously.

"It's just that your left and right guards built new houses? Can't you favor one over the other?"

"That... Your Majesty, the six camps led by the East Palace were built according to the same rules. Originally, Li Shilang said that he wanted to change to a bigger camp..."

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, the captain's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he just shut his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.

Li Shilang was of course referring to Li Yu, because serving Li Shimin was so troublesome, so he moved Li Shimin, and arranged for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, which had been vacant for several years.

Otherwise, no matter how nosy Li Yu likes to meddle in other people's affairs, he still can't make a decision on the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace.
