The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1257 His Majesty Li Er's Thoughts
The Minister of the Ministry of War is now Li Jing, and Li Jing stays behind closed doors in the mansion. In this way, matters that the Ministry of War does not need to be ruled by Li Jing are made by the two servants. Unless they are in doubt, they will go to see Li Jing. Of course, this way The situation is both good and bad.

The document sent by the Ministry of War to Dongshan County and the memorial sent to the palace left the Ministry of War at the same time, one was sent to the palace, and the other was rushed to Dongshan County.

It's already evening, and the officials of the Ministry of War are going to Dongshan County. Even if they can't come back at night, they don't have to worry about it. At worst, they can live in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County. It's much more comfortable than staying at home.
As for the memorial to be sent into the palace, it needs to be sent in before the palace gate is closed, otherwise it will have to wait until the morning of the next day. Even though it is only one night, many things can actually be brought forward.

The memorial was sent to the Ganlu Hall. At this moment, His Majesty Li Er was still reviewing the memorial in the Ganlu Hall, and the little eunuch outside brought the people from the Ministry of War into the Ganlu Hall.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an from Pyongyang City, and has arrived in Dongshan County today. I have come to report this matter to Your Majesty." The people from the Ministry of War said, and handed the memorial with both hands.

Deyi walked down the steps, came to the officials of the Ministry of War, took the memorial, and sent it to His Majesty Li Er's desk.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the memorial, opened it, and browsed it.

"Have the five hundred government soldiers in Dongshan County been properly arranged?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after the Ministry of War received the news, the documents were sent to Dongshan County at high speed. The soldiers came back from the expedition, and according to the situation in Dongshan County, they were given a five-day rest." The person from the Ministry of War said.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "It's not too bad."

Originally, the soldiers rested for only three days, and returned to the camp immediately after three days, but the situation of the five hundred soldiers in Dongshan County was quite special. The country, and it's still a soldier from the foreign government, it doesn't matter if you take a longer rest and bath.

The Fubing itself is divided into the inner government and the outer government, which are called the inner army and the outer army.The inner palace refers to the five palaces and three guards and the three palaces and three guards in the East Palace. The soldiers in the inner palace are purely descendants of powerful officials.

People like Dongshan County recruit government soldiers, which is the foreign government.

"Deyi, send someone to Dongshan County tomorrow to deliver a letter to Xuan Shijing, and enter the palace the next day for early court." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." Deyi bowed aside and responded.

"Besides, since the five hundred soldiers from Dongshan County have come back with Marquis Dongshan, the Ministry of War will send someone to Zhuangzishang, Dongshan County, to handover with Sima in the army, and set up a reward for the five hundred soldiers." Li Er His Majesty said.

"Yes." The officer of the Ministry of War replied.

His Majesty Li Er knows what kind of elite soldiers Xuan Shijing's five hundred baby bumps are. It is almost easy for such soldiers to win credit in the war, and they have a direct boss like Xuan Shijing, so it is easy to develop. , because Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing is their doorway, as long as they can fight, dare to fight, and dare to risk their lives, prosperity and wealth are indispensable.

The people from the Ministry of War left the Ganlu Hall. His Majesty Li Er thought of the five hundred soldiers in Dongshan County, and his mind gradually became more active. Such elite soldiers, five hundred people, together, are a sharp dagger , but if they are transferred to various military camps, it will be a good whetstone.

Although Xuan Shijing's method of training troops cannot be taken entirely, but some advantages can still be absorbed. It is a brand new method of training troops. Although the consumption is huge, the effect is gratifying. There are tens of thousands of people, and the Tang soldiers are irresistible
As a king, His Majesty Li Er has never been short of being prepared for danger in times of peace. After enjoying the glory of Tian Khan, the complacent mentality has gradually faded away after a long time. His Majesty Li Er, who once confronted Turkic Khan personally He clearly understands in his heart that the Quartet is now surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but the small border tribes are capricious in nature after all. Once they themselves are not satisfied, they will think of ways to take it from the Central Plains.

Advocating literature and martial arts, the two go hand in hand, this is the way to strengthen the country.

As the sky gradually darkened, Deyi stood beside His Majesty Li Er, reminding softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"Send someone to the Lizheng Hall to deliver a message. Today I will go to the Lizheng Hall for dinner." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." Deyi responded, walked out of the Ganlu Hall, and sent the little yellow gate guarded outside the hall to deliver a message to the Lizheng Hall.

His Majesty Li Er went to the Lizheng Hall to talk to Empress Changsun. Generally, when the government was indecisive and hesitated, His Majesty Li Er liked to stop at the Lizheng Hall and talk to Empress Changsun.

About two quarters of an hour later, His Majesty Li Er put down the memorial in his hand, took Deyi with him, and walked towards the Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun at the Lizheng Hall heard that His Majesty Li Er was coming to the Lizheng Hall to have a meal, so she sent the eunuchs and maids in the palace to prepare it. It didn’t need to be so rich. A few plates of light vegetables and a meat dish, and some white porridge. Simple is fine.

In previous years, the Tang Dynasty was poor, and the treasury could run away with rats. The emperor and empress couple in the palace advocated thrift. Now the Tang treasury is full, but this habit is still preserved. You can't forget the hardships you have suffered. Even if Datang is rich now, you can't indulge yourself.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

"Your Majesty is here~~~"

Outside the Lizheng Hall came the sound of Deyi's proclamation, and Empress Changsun in the hall hurried out to greet her with the maids and eunuchs.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty." Empress Changsun blessed her body with a salute.

"There is no need to be polite." His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to help Empress Changsun up, and entered the Lizheng Hall together with Empress Changsun.

The dinner in the hall was ready, and after entering the Lizheng Hall, he sat down on the side of the table.

"You all go down first." His Majesty Li Er waved away the maids and eunuchs in the Lizheng Hall.

"Yes." The maids and eunuchs in the room filed out, and there were only two words left in the entire inner hall.

"Your Majesty waved everyone away, don't you have something to talk to your concubine?" asked Empress Changsun.

"Those who know me are Guanyin's servants." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, "There is indeed one thing, and I want to hear the views of Guanyin's servants."

"Speak, Your Majesty, my concubine, listen." Empress Changsun knelt down opposite His Majesty Li Er and said.

"Jing'er came back from Pyongyang. This time the Tang Dynasty used troops abroad to attack Goguryeo. Xue Rengui took over Liaodong. Jing'er led someone as the deputy commander and led the striker to attack Goguryeo. Jing'er should take the lead in defeating Goguryeo. I'm thinking about it. , This time, it’s time to give Jing’er a real reward.” His Majesty Li Er said: “Jing’er had meritorious service before, but because of her age, the rewards I gave were nothing more than trivial things.”
