Chapter 763
It has only been [-] years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the best soldiers in the world to fight are none other than the Beimen Garrison Army. The Beiya Forbidden Army was the most elite soldier in the world in the Li Shimin Dynasty. After Li Ke ascended the throne, he was transferred to Xi Jun The Modao camp bought was valued at the Beiya, so that the Beiya Forbidden Army became even more powerful.

The power of the Beiya is growing, and only the emperor's orders are obeyed. This is what Li Shimin has been doing all the time, because Li Shimin is very aware of the importance of the Beiya Imperial Army.

Li Shimin is like this, and so is Li Ke. Li Shimin has a lot of things to do when he becomes emperor. These things he does are bound to suppress the interests of others. In order to avoid another Xuanwu Gate change, Li Ke will What Li Shimin wants to do is to do it to the extreme.

Li Shimin was an emperor on horseback who was born in the army and had a very high prestige in the army. Therefore, he was able to peacefully break the chaos of the Nanya and Beiya during the reign of Gaozu Li Yuan, making the Beiya independent of the court and the prime minister. It only belongs to the commander in chief of the emperor, and has become a sword held only in the hands of the emperor.

Li Ke is also the emperor on horseback, he is in charge of the army as a young man, he has great prestige in the imperial army, and he has many trusted generals in the army, so Li Ke was able to bypass the prime minister and the court, re-divide the Beiya system, and leave Li Shimin to him His sword was gripped tighter and sharpened more sharply.

What Li Ke did was supposed to be something that Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi expected to dare to do after 13 years of enthronement, but because of Li Ke's prestige in the army and his extremely high control over the court, Li Ke It can be done now, only one month after the official enthronement, and it is done smoothly.

After discussing with several generals, Li Ke decreed that Qin Shubao should be the general of the left feather forest guard, with [-] troops, stationed in the west of the imperial city, guarding the Xuanwu Gate; Cheng Zhijie should be the general of the right feather forest guard, with [-] troops , stationed in the east of the imperial city, guarding Anli Gate; with Li Junxian as the general of Zuolongwuwei, leading an army of [-], stationed at Anren Gate and Shenlong Gate.

As for Xi Junmai, he was General Youlongwuwei, and Gao Kan, the general of Youlongwuwei under his jurisdiction, led [-] troops to garrison Ganlu Gate. Xi Junmai himself was on duty in Ganlu Hall, serving the emperor.

The four guards of Beiya are all elites. At first glance, it seems that Xi Jun bought the least number of Youlongwu guards and horses among the four guards, but his 6000 troops include the original Modaoying and Baiqi troops. They are among the elite. The elite is also the bravest soldier of Datang.

Li Ke issued a decree to rectify the establishment of the Imperial Army in the Beiya. As soon as the imperial decree came out, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves and caused an uproar in the court. The governors of Bianzhou who hold a heavy army are all Li Ke's people, and there is no resistance to Li Ke's reorganization of the Beiya.

But at the same time, another seemingly ordinary imperial decree slowly caused disputes in the palace, making Empress Wu Meiniang even more disturbed.

Li Ke decreed that Li Kun, who was only five years old, would be the king of Zhou, and he would lead the governor of Luozhou.

Li Kun is the third son of Li Ke, and he has also reached the age to be a knight. It is not strange that Li Ke bestowed the title of prince on Li Kun, but the blame is that Li Ke bestowed him in Luoyang, the eastern capital, which is enough to make Wu Meiniang uneasy.

"Your Majesty first forbade me from interfering in the government, and then conferred the title of Concubine Xiao's son in Luoyang, and even designated the title of Concubine Xiao's daughter in Yangzhou, the land of dragon prosperity. This is to take precautions against me." When Wu Meiniang learned that Xiao Yuexian's son was crowned king, she had already lost her temper in the Lizheng Hall.

Wu Meiniang was furious, and all the maids in the palace had been kicked out, leaving only Wu Meiniang's confidant, Jin'er, by her side. Ever since Wu Meiniang became queen, she had been in a good mood, and this was the first time she had lost her temper seriously.

Seeing Wu Meiniang getting angry, Jin'er hurriedly comforted her: "Young lady calm down, she is only a king of Zhou, how can she be successful, she is far worse than Xiaolangjun, Prince Chujun."

What Jin'er said is of course the truth, no matter how noble the King of Zhou is, he is still just a prince, far from the crown prince, even if it is not enough to flatter him.

If it was in the past, what Jin Er said would make sense, but at this time, Wu Meiniang really can't feel at ease. After all, Li Ke, who is now sitting on the throne, was only a king of Shu back then. Are you on the throne?
Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty's favorite is not only Li Kun alone, Xiao Yuexian and Li Lan are even more so, a concubine princess, 350 households in the city, and [-] households are sealed off. Your Majesty is so generous, and I am not afraid to be called by the courtiers." Speak up."

The Tang Dynasty had rules on how to entrust the princesses. For all the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, there were usually [-] to [-] households when they were first granted, but these were all fictitious titles.Most of the real seals of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty take [-]% of the false ones, that is, two hundred to three hundred households, and most of the two hundred to three hundred households' real seals can only be obtained after the princess is married. .

Since the year of Zhenguan, there are only a handful of princesses who have been sealed by the princesses of the Tang Dynasty before they get married. Except for the eldest grandson empress and several daughters of the former emperor and empress Yang, there is only Li Lan, the princess of Guangling. From this we can see , Li Ke loves this only daughter very much.

Jin'er said: "Princess Guangling is the only daughter of His Majesty, so she is especially doted on. If my young lady gives birth to your Majesty's first daughter in the future, she will definitely dote on her more than Princess Guangling."

Wu Meiniang waved her hand and said: "No matter how much Your Majesty loves Princess Guangling, she is just a girl and cannot affect the overall situation, but Xiao Yuexian has a lot of thoughts, but she has to guard against it."

Jin'er said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want my mistress to touch the government anymore, then my mistress can't disobey your majesty's wishes, but although my mistress can't easily interfere with the government affairs, she can borrow the hands of others, why don't my mistress send the two uncles into the palace to discuss matters, or It can help the court."

Since ancient times, the most common way for empresses to intervene in government affairs in the palace is to use the hands of their father and brothers to intervene with their relatives. This was especially obvious in the Han Dynasty, and the weight of their relatives even overshadowed the emperor at one time.

It is not uncommon to use foreign relatives to intervene in politics, and Changsun Wuji who is closer is also an example, but Wu Meiniang is very familiar with her two brothers, and how their abilities compare with Changsun Wuji, they will not mess with Wu Meiniang outside the palace. It's okay to have an accident.

However, although Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are embarrassing, it is also a way to use the hands of others to participate in the government.

Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of a method, a better and more effective method than foreign relatives intervening in politics, and this method was justified, and no one could criticize it.

Wu Meiniang opened her mouth suddenly, and asked Jin'er: "The prince will be ten years old in the next year. In order to imitate his father and train the prince, I would like to suggest that the prince open a palace and build a government office as soon as possible?"
