Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 892;
Chapter 840;

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda saluted again;
"I report to His Majesty the Emperor that I agree with General Yuchi's words. No one can stand without faith, and everyone must keep his word. Otherwise, don't read the books of sages.

Oh, by the way, I will report to His Majesty the Emperor again, of course, your Majesty the Emperor must be included here, and it is not my arrogant words. "

With a dark face on purpose, Li Shimin slapped the table in front of him with a slap.

Niu Jinda quickly explained;
"My Majesty, I don't have any other intentions. What I mean is that no matter who you are or what your status is, you must keep your word..."

"Enough, back off."

"According to the order!"

Li Shimin was so angry that the meeting immediately fell silent.

"Since I tied my hair, I have never broken my promise once. I don't want to make an exception, and the ministers of civil and military affairs all passed the promise the year before last.
It is said that as long as a sharp weapon is made, it can be rewarded and promoted if it is useful to the court.

Those craftsmen who recruited everywhere worked hard to build weapons and armor, and worked hard. Wasn't it just to become a nobleman, or to seal their wives and sons?
If I fulfill them, it can be considered that their loyalty to the emperor will not fail.

Today, I will be tough for a while, the people in charge of the seven major workshops can enjoy the salary from the fifth rank, and will not be promoted in the future, so stop here.

Ladies and gentlemen, please let go and let them do it once. Without those sharp weapons and armors, is it possible for the sons and daughters to learn from before and continue to fight with their lives?

Which of your families does not have a bunch of people serving as generals in the sixteen guards?Think about it for yourself, are the credits made by those craftsmen good for the children in your family? "

Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up and agree;

"The minister seconded the proposal. There are more than 30 sons and sixteen guards in the minister's family. The minister is grateful for the good things made by those craftsmen."

"Your Majesty, I report to Your Majesty, and so do the ministers."

"The minister also seconded His Majesty."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The military generals ran out almost instantly, and the civilian officials also began to join in.

Finally, the emperor also took a step back. He didn’t get anyone with the fifth rank. He gave the lowest one from the fifth rank, and he couldn’t be promoted in the future. The civil officials didn’t want to bother anymore. After all, the emperor was right. The children are working hard in the barracks, and the things made by those craftsmen are really unspoken.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Shimin also relaxed a lot;
"In this case, it will be passed. The rest is easy to talk about. A second-class steward can do six-rank, seven-rank and eight-rank. I won't say much about it. It will be fine if there are three provinces to arrange."

"The ministers obey the order."

Li Shimin paused for a while, and then continued to order;

"Let's talk about the matter of coming to the court from all directions, there are still several months, and the envoys of some countries have already set off, which department should be in charge, and they must receive food, drink and accommodation.

Come to receive a family, don't let the envoys feel cold, and don't lose face to me. "

"According to the order!"

"One more thing, the hero monument that Li Yu mentioned earlier, I didn't think the name sounded good, so I thought of a new name, let's call it Lingyan Pavilion."

Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up again;

"Your Majesty wants a nice name."

"Yes, Your Majesty is very knowledgeable, and the name he came up with is the most intimate."

"Lingyan Pavilion, what a name."

"That's it. As for whether you can enter Lingyan Pavilion to be a hero, there will be three provinces and six ministries to recommend, and finally the court will check and compare, and only those who pass can enter their names.

The most urgent task is to make proper arrangements for Wanbang's coming to court, and the matter of Lingyan Pavilion's list of heroes can be left behind. "

"The ministers obey the order."

"Going further is the suggestion put forward by Li Yu, the founding county magistrate. In front of the envoys from all nations who came to court, we should show off our muscles. What do you think should be done? You can speak freely!"

This is what Yuchi Gong was waiting for today, hurry up and salute;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that the elite divisions of the sixteen guards should be dispatched to carry out. Not only the height, but also the posture, clothing, etc. must be arranged."

"Well, what General Yuchi said is reasonable, so how many people should participate?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that 1000 or 2000 people from each guard will do."

"Yes. Sure, all my lovers, please tell me, how do you go about it?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore;
"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, I feel that the location should be changed."

"Where is the change? Can't the old school field outside the city be used for inspection?"

"Your Majesty, think about it. There are 2000 people in one guard, sixteen guards, plus the Imperial Army from the North and South Yamen, and the Xuanjia Army, which is 4 people.

There are cavalry, infantry, spear formations, scout formations, shield formations, archers, light crossbow carts, heavy crossbow carts, and catapults here. With these, the school grounds outside the city are not enough. "

Li Shimin nodded, and continued with his own script, which had been discussed before, and he only had to take it out and make gestures.

"Then Aiqing, tell me, where will it be done?"

Cheng Yaojin was also trying to recall the words discussed yesterday;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it should be carried out on Zhuque Street. By the way, the people in the world can see that our army is powerful."

Li Shimin frowned;

"Suzaku Avenue?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, on Suzaku Street."

"General Cheng's words, I really don't understand. Since ancient times, it has been a common thing to count troops on the school grounds. I have never heard of it. The way soldiers are counted depends on the general, and it is carried out on the street. Colleagues, everyone thinks Then on Suzaku Street, is it possible to do military affairs?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Hahahahaha, soldiers on Suzaku Street? Pull it down, oh my mother, I laughed so hard."

"See? Chang'an Three Idiots are going to show off!"

"Show the limelight? He's the ruffian Cheng?"

"It's just him? It's okay to fight in battle. I really don't dare to underestimate him, but if you want to talk about this plan, hehe, then I don't agree with it! I don't agree with it!"

"Look at these three idiots? Do you want to suggest that the emperor dispatch tens of thousands of soldiers to train troops without spending money? Just talk about it?"

"Isn't it? Tens of thousands of people come and go, and they are still transferred from the barracks of the Sixteen Guards. They have to wear the same armor and the same clothes. Just these few words, without 500 million guan, I'm afraid they can't do it all."

"It's obvious that standing up and talking won't hurt your back. You've got the prestige, but you have to throw out a lot of money. These three are typical prodigal sons, and they're cheating on the emperor!"

"Besides the king, don't worry, just keep listening, and let's see how far these three fools can make His Majesty the Emperor go?"

"Hmph, if the emperor agrees with the ideas of the three of them, he will live in hell!"

"Hey, let's not talk about it, after the big victory on the grassland, His Majesty the Emperor... It's hard to say, he's excited right now. Throwing a few million pennies and creating a majestic scene is nothing."

"It's nothing? How many days have you been full?"

"I have never seen or heard of soldiers and horses practicing on Zhuque Street. Why does Ai Qing think so strangely?"

Cheng Yaojin was still so careless, he didn't know what his face was, and he stood in the center of the Tai Chi Hall and said;

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is how I think about it. Your Majesty, stand on the gate of Suzaku City to check. Those foreign envoys are on the towers on both sides of you.

Then all the soldiers came in from Mingde Gate, and when they came to the downstairs of Suzaku City, they walked east and stopped in front of Chunming Gate.

When the east side is full of Erlang, the rest come over, go west and stop at the Golden Light Gate.

In the end, all the sons, cavalry, shields, and crossbow arrows were all on the East and West Streets under the Suzaku City Gate. Envoys from various countries could clearly see the teams on the east and west sides from the tower.

Your Majesty, when you raised your arms at the Suzaku Gate, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted at the sky, how mighty is that?
It will surely deter the envoys of those small countries, and at the same time make the tribes on the grassland understand, my Chao Erlang's spirit, and the chilling of all kinds of sharp weapons..."

"What Aiqing said is true. I think it is feasible. What do you generals think?"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"What the hell is this?"

"Yes, can this pass?"

"Well, a fool can come up with a plan."

"Needless to say, it must have been discussed in advance."

"Did you see it?"

"Nonsense, I'm not stupid."

"Then let's say a few words less. They have made arrangements in advance. It is better to have one thing less than one more thing."

"Makes sense."

Li Shimin saw that no one was interrupting him, and stood up directly;
"Since all civil and military officials have seconded the proposal, then follow what the three love ministers said, let's break up."

"According to the order!"

Li Shimin did not stop for a moment after finishing speaking, and left the Tai Chi Hall.

Cheng Yaojin looked like a villain, and together with Niu Jinda and Yu Chigong, thanked a group of colleagues who came to congratulate him.

"Zhijie, I didn't expect you guys to come up with such an idea, it's amazing."

"Hahahahaha, thank you Li Shangshu for your praise. The last general also thought about it for a long time before he came up with it. It's a brilliant plan. It's not easy."

"Listen, let's all come and listen, he said that Cheng ruffian is fat, and he immediately became short of breath."

"Don't pay attention to him, I said Jingde, you didn't make it clear to His Majesty just now whether a guard should give out one thousand or two thousand?"

"Yeah, I also remembered this, how many people did you get?"

Niu Jinda saw what his sworn brother Duan Zhixuan said, and hurried over to explain;

"Hey, brother, what do you care about him, the more the better, otherwise, there are 2000 people in other guards, but the elder brother only took out one thousand. When the time comes, the ceremonial officer at the gate of Suzaku City said: ;

"The one who came over now was Erlang, who was trained by General Zuo Xiaowei Duan, and the common people were going to start booing.
Ugh?The generals of other families all took 2000 people, so how come this general Duan only has [-]? "

When Niu Jinda said this, many generals were frowning in thought, Duan Zhixuan turned to look at a group of brothers, and then nodded calmly.

Zhang Gongjin next to Duan Zhixuan stroked his beard;

"Jinda, what did you just say? Someone read it on the tower of Suzaku Gate? What did you say?"

"Ok?"

"Yeah, what are you reading?"

"I guess it's the orderly type?"

"possible."

Niu Jinda pinched his waist triumphantly;
"You don't know that, do you? That kid Li Yu came up with it, that is, every time a team comes over, there must be officials from the Ministry of Rituals, chanting loudly on the tower."

"Is it fresh? An official from the Ministry of Rites brought the order?"

"Arrange officials from the Ministry of Rites to be messengers?"

Hou Junji next to him cupped his hands at Li Jing;

"Li Shangshu, this civil servant is a messenger, can he open his voice? The general really doesn't understand."

"That's right, Senior Brother Yao, why did you arrange the officials from the Ministry of Rites to serve as messengers on the city gate tower? Your Majesty is really generous, so I don't know what rank it is?"

Although Li Jing was Minister of the Ministry of War, he also knew that a big tree attracts the wind, especially after returning from the grassland victory last year, Li Jing stayed behind closed doors and did not interact with anyone except for going to court and being on duty.

Even the family's business on the Silk Road was not involved in a word, and it was all handed over to his younger brother Li Keshi.

He used to secretly meet Li Yu in private, but now he doesn't even see Li Yu once, but Li Jing is not a fool, he has something to say to his younger brother Li Keshi.

The children are chasing after Li Yu's buttocks, don't interrupt, on the contrary, support them vigorously, the closer they are, the better.

Who is Mr. Li Ke?

He was a person on par with Li Jing, not only able to command the central army, but also a general who could charge the front line, he was extremely low-key and introverted, and he didn't like to show off.

Many people habitually ignore Li Keshi, who is already low-key, because of Li Yaoshi's strength.

But a real wise man knows in his heart that this fierce general who has a deep relationship with Qin Qiong is not made of mud.

It can be said that Li Keshi's wisdom is vast, and his great wisdom is like a fool. He has been staring at the next generation of nephews. If any guy doesn't fool around with Li Yu for a long time, he will be whipped immediately.

The descendants of the Li family were not allowed to get close to the two princes of the royal family, but for Li Yu, the second wife in Longxi, it was just the opposite.

Closer to home!What Li Shimin discussed in private was limited to a few of his confidants, and Li Jing didn't know anything about it.

"This official doesn't know either, but since Jinda has already said so, presumably there is.

As for the officials from the Ministry of Rites coming out to serve as messengers, His Majesty the Emperor must have considered it carefully. Don't think too much about it, just follow the order and train your subordinates well.

At that time, there will be gatherings from all directions, and all sides will come to court, but it will be a big scene, let alone His Majesty the Emperor, let me ask everyone present, which one should not be treated as a major event in life? "

"That's right! Shang Shu is right."

"It is indeed a big deal."

"By the way, Lao Niu, what will the officials of the Ministry of Rites shout at that time?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Niu Jinda grinned proudly;

"The nephew of the Li family said that every time a team comes, the officials of the Ministry of Rites must make it clear which guard's son and general trained it..."
