Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 483 Old man, you are too presumptuous

What Du Ruhui said was right. Li Jing's significance in the Tang army was like a pinnacle of calming the sea. With his intervention, these killers in the Zhechong Mansion would not only have no complaints, but would even happily go to Xikaidao to guard the border. That's right. This is the charm of Datang's military god.

Since he became the prince's grand master, not only did he fail to fulfill his duties as a master, but he also had to wipe their family's ass, and even had to be blackmailed by the emperor.When did he suffer such a big loss from a person? With Du Ruhui's suggestion, Li Chengqian decided to get it back from him with interest.

When Li Jing arrived at the Chengqing Hall, the sun was already setting. After entering the main hall, Li Jing held the teapot and drank it, and then asked very proudly: "Your Highness, what are you having for dinner?"

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian almost lost his temper, what the hell, it's fine if you don't show courtesy, and why did you treat Chengqing Palace as a restaurant with the purpose of eating and drinking at Lao Tzu's place.

So, after putting down the memorial in his hand, Li Chengqian replied flatly: "Duke Wei, eating is naturally not a problem, but why don't you ask Gu Xuan what you are here for?"

"Why do you ask so many questions? Worry so much. The old minister is already the prince and grand master anyway. Just issue any orders from His Highness. But there is one thing, don't be too tired. The old minister is old and can't do too tiring work. , this old bone is waiting to hold a great-grandson!"

Seeing Li Jing's old shameless look, Li Chengqian finally realized that if this person had no desires and desires, then there would be no more offlines, and he didn't know where to throw the little bit of ethics when he was leading the army. up.

Moreover, this old fellow has always had a good friendship with him. When he was in the army, he often talked about military strategy together, and now he has become the grand master of the Eastern Palace, so the rules that ordinary courtiers should abide by are superfluous to him.

He can be a rogue, there is no lower limit, but Li Chengqian can't. Knowing that he can't trick him, Li Chengqian repeats the discussion between Bai Ri and his ministers, especially focusing on the local military government.

After hearing what the prince had said, Li Jing rubbed his hands, put on a simple and honest expression and said: "Since it is His Royal Highness's edict, then the old minister should do his part, and there must be no problem in cleaning up these little household goods." Yes. However, since Xikaidao has been designated as twenty prefectures this time, and there are 10,000+ troops from Hou Junji and Li Daliang stationed here, this is not enough, it is a drop in the bucket."

"Besides, they are not very capable. Your Highness is also a soldier from the background. He knows the principle of a raging soldier and a raging army. How can the army trained by the general school be able to stop the Tubo army.

Therefore, the veteran thought that it would be better to use a group of generals and schools who are at home. They are all battle-hardened soldiers and loyal to the court. If they are not used at this time, when will they be used! "

Oh, what Li Jing meant could not be more obvious. Over the years, his old troops have been stripped out of the Tang army in batches. Except for a few people like Zhang Bao, almost all of them are idle at home and have become A rascal in Chang'an City.

The reason is that they followed the wrong commander, who made Li Jingzhao the emperor's suspicion.But having said that, these generals still have some skills, and most of them are low-ranking officers. Even if Li Jing had something on his mind, he would not discuss it with them, so the emperor left them idle on the grounds that they were in the wrong team.

It's not okay, the hateful thing is that the old man brought it up at this time, who can bear it, so Li Chengqian slapped down the case fiercely, pointed at Li Jing and said sharply: "Old man, you dare to sit down and raise the price!"

Hehe, while stroking his beard, he replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness, this is a low price, what you said is too harsh, the old minister is clearly promoting the virtuous for the country, and he still does not avoid relatives, you should praise him The old minister is."

"Besides, they have been idle for many years, and they are no longer considered as the generals of the veterans. Now that the court has given grace again, they will not risk their lives to serve His Majesty. Hou Junji has them to organize the army. In five years, the West Kaido can be managed like a rock, so why not do it!"

There is one more thing that Li Jing didn't say. These generals still have some complaints about the court. There are Li Jing's reasons and their own. They are all loyal to the emperor and the court. Why should they be hidden in the snow? People who were not as good as them were named marquis and generals one after another.

As Li Jing said, if the imperial court is willing to give them grace, it will definitely put away their loyalty and greatly downplay Li Jing's position in their hearts. Only the emperor, dare not serve his life so desperately?

Moreover, when the emperor appointed the crown prince and grand teacher, he gave himself the right to handle Li Jing's old department. Whether to use it or not, it's all in his own mind. This is also his consideration for himself.

"Great generals, 100 people, and they must be military officers below the sixth rank. It's not that you are stingy. There are too many people in the court who are jealous of you. If you supervise the country alone and use a large number of these generals, it will not only be helpless. The minister confessed, even the emperor would not be able to explain it. Let some people be used to suppress the battle and make some military exploits, so that Gu can stop people's mouths."

Li Chengqian did have difficulties. Many courtiers and even the clan had a lot of opinions on Li Jing. If Li Jing's old ministries were activated in one step, would it be rumored in the court that he and Li Jing had concluded an offensive and defensive alliance? As for the rumors of the alliance, if it reaches the ears of the sick emperor, it will be ten thousand times more severe than the usual scheming.

How much is too much, 100 people, not a lot, originally Li Jing thought it would be good to have half of them, but now it seems that the crown prince is still kind.

So, he quickly stood up and saluted, and said in his mouth: "The old minister thanked His Highness the Prince for his kindness on behalf of those generals. Don't worry, Your Highness, these bastards will never embarrass me when they come to Xikaidao."

The reason why he chose to open his mouth at this time was really farting and daring to crotch. No matter what Hou Junji said, he had a three-point love affair with himself. Looking at his old face, he could take care of them three-point no matter what. Feeling less guilty.

Now that I think about it, it is a blessing to have such a student as the prince. If other princes were to be his students, let alone 100 people, even one of them would not be able to pass the test with the emperor.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the old department, General, shall we talk about the local military government while eating?".
