Man Tanghong

Chang'an in early August is still hot and dry, but when the breeze blows, you can feel the coolness from head to toe.

The six commanding military mansions of King Qi's Mansion, plus the barracks of the reserve battalion are located in the southwest of the outskirts of Chang'an, under a hill, covering a huge area, surrounded by tall wooden piles and a wide gate.

Looking from a distance, the first thing you see is the banner erected on the gate, followed by the neat rows of barracks, and the third is the persimmon trees all over the mountains and plains.

The persimmons on the persimmon tree have begun to turn red. Looking from a distance, clusters, little by little, seem to be covered with red lanterns, which are particularly eye-catching.

On both sides of the persimmon forest, there are maple leaves all over the mountains and plains, and they are also a piece of red, dyeing the whole hill in fiery red.

If in the evening, when the sky is full of sunset, the sky and the earth will be the same color, and it will probably be even more beautiful.

"His... Your Highness, you don't need to go, do you?"

Cai Yungong rode a miscellaneous donkey, and carefully accompanied Li Yuanji's frame, talking with a sad face.

Li Yuanji was sitting in the carriage, flipping a book in his hand, casually glanced at Cai Yungong, and ignored him.

After careful consideration, he finally decided to adopt Cai Yungong's suggestion, and went to the camp of the Commander's Mansion to meet Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.

He didn't know whether he could appease Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, whether he could let Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin appease Zhang Liang.

But now, he has no other choice. If he has dates or not, he will hit two shots first.

If Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were willing to be recruited and to talk to Zhang Liang, then he would have made a profit.

Otherwise, he would have to send someone to capture Zhang Liang and execute him secretly. In that case, he would not only lose money, but also make Datang lose a capable general.

Although there is no shortage of generals in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, generals dare not say that they are everywhere, but you can catch four or five with just a quick grasp.

So losing a Zhang Liang is also affordable.

But if it can be saved and appeased, it is natural to give evidence and appeasement first.

After all, no one would dislike having too many talents under their hands, especially those in power who are in charge of a huge empire, let alone dislike having too many talents under their hands.

After taking power for more than two months, Li Yuanji also clearly realized how important talents are to him and Datang, and also understood why Li Shimin would disregard the past and the past several times in history, and put many of them Defeated opponents and captives are taken back to their subordinates.

It can be said that all the talents in the current Tang Dynasty were scavenged from the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Each of them is quite capable and precious.

Used correctly, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to Datang.

If it is not used correctly, or if it is killed, it is a waste.

The most important thing is that with Datang's current population base and the newly restored enlightenment, it will not be possible to train too many talents for Datang to use in a short period of time.

Most of the rich families with a lot of knowledge and talents are now playing tricks, and they are not doing a good job for Datang.

Therefore, every talent that Datang has now is very precious to Datang.

It is the wealth of Datang and part of the foundation of Datang.

There is no room for waste.

So if there is still a chance to appease Zhang Liang and the people behind Zhang Liang, Li Yuanji doesn't mind trying again.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing that Li Yuanji ignored him, Cai Yungong yelled again with a sad face.

Li Yuanji put down the book in his hand, glanced at Cai Yungong, and said in a neutral tone: "It was you who suggested Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin to comfort Zhang Liang.

Now that I'm going to see Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, I will naturally bring you with me. "

Cai Yungong saw that Li Yuanji was starting to talk to others, and hurriedly urged the miscellaneous donkeys to join the carriage and said: "I just gave His Highness a suggestion, it is up to His Highness whether to adopt it or not, and how to implement it is up to His Highness.

What your Highness wants to do, just make up your own mind, why bring your ministers along? "

Li Yuanji nodded, and said calmly: "You also said that I can make my own decisions. My decision is to take you with me. Do you have any questions?"

Cai Yungong was stunned and speechless. He opened his mouth several times but didn't say a word.

Li Yuanji casually put down the curtain of the carriage, separated himself from Cai Yungong, and did not say a word to Cai Yungong again.

The carriage swayed and arrived at the camp of the Tongjun Mansion.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the gate had already received the news that Li Yuanji was coming, so after seeing the king's flag hanging on the carriage, they let it go without asking any questions.

When they arrived in the camp, the soldiers were practicing. Some were rehearsing the formation, some were practicing martial arts, some were learning how to distinguish flag language, drum language, and gong language, and some were abusing rookies.

Li Yuanji didn't bother, and asked people to drive the carriage directly to the Chinese army tent where Xie Shufang was in charge.

It's just that Xie Shufang and all the generals and schools in the army rushed to the carriage to greet him before they drove to the main tent of the Chinese army.

Logically speaking, with Li Yuanji's current status and unique status in this barracks, it would not be an exaggeration for Xie Shufang to bring all the generals and school to meet him outside the gate.

However, in order to maintain Xie Shufang's image in the hearts of the soldiers and his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, when Li Yuanji sent someone to pass on the message, he specifically emphasized that Xie Shufang did not have to rush outside the gate to meet him, and waited in the big tent of the Chinese army. just go.

But obviously, Xie Shufang did not dare to take the university. While obeying Li Yuanji's order, he also brought all the generals and school together to express their respect.

"Chen Xie Shufang, lead all the generals and schools in the military mansion, see Your Highness!"

After Xie Shufang led all the generals to the carriage, he knelt down on one knee first, saluted and shouted.

The generals followed suit and knelt down on one knee, saluting and shouting.

Although some of them had armor and were not allowed to give full salutes, they still greeted Li Yuanji with full salutes.

Not for anything else, just because Li Yuanji is the real master of this barracks, and because Li Yuanji is their lord.

"Sir wait..."

"Idiosyncratic..."

"..."

As Xie Shufang and others knelt down, the soldiers who were practicing on the school field beside them also knelt down one by one, shouting everything, and the scene was very spectacular.

Cai Yungong's scalp felt numb when he saw it, and his ears got dizzy when he heard it.

Because he could easily judge it based on the lineup that all knelt down without anyone calling, and the shouts from the heart of the soldiers.

Everyone in this barracks saluted Li Yuanji sincerely, and also supported Li Yuanji sincerely.

He was sure that no matter what Li Yuanji asked the people in this military camp to do, the people in this military camp would not hesitate.

Because he had seen the same scene, in the barracks of the Eight Commander Mansions under the Qin Palace.

The people of the eight commanding military mansions under the Qin Wangfu's leadership, under the leadership of Qin Wang Li Shimin, broke out how powerful they were, and what great achievements they did, the world knows.

This barracks, and everyone in this barracks, is the capital of Li Yuanji's power in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the background of Li Yuanji's future rule of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Yuanji made good use of all the people in this barracks, and then incorporated Li Shimin's eight commanding military mansions, then Li Shimin would never be able to turn things around again.

Although Li Yuanji hadn't made good use of all the people in this barracks, more than half of the work of recruiting Li Shimin's eight commanding army mansions had been done.

It can be said that even if Li Shimin comes out now, it will be difficult to cause any harm to Li Yuanji in a short period of time.

For the first time, Cai Yungong felt that his attachment this time did not seem to be a loss, and it was very likely that he made a profit.

Li Yuanji didn't have as much thought as Cai Yungong. After Xie Shufang led many people in the barracks to kneel down, he sighed helplessly, and while walking out of the carriage, he complained: "Didn't I tell you to let you stay in the Chinese military tent?" Are you waiting?"

Xie Shufang raised his head, clasped his fists firmly and said, "Courtesy cannot be broken!"

Li Yuanji shook his head dumbfounded, and said nothing more.

Things have come to this point, there is nothing to say.

"Brother, save me!"

"Uncle, help!"

"..."

Just when Li Yuanji was about to ask Xie Shufang and the others to stand up, several untimely voices sounded from one edge of the school grounds.

Li Yuanji followed the prestige, and saw his younger brothers and nephews, wearing armor one size smaller, jumping and shouting on the sidelines of the school field.

After shouting a few times, someone covered his mouth, grabbed his legs and dragged him away.

"It seems that your practice is not strong enough, otherwise how would they have the courage to call for help in this situation, and how would they have the strength to jump and shout?"

For his younger brothers and nephews, especially the ineffective younger brothers and nephews, Li Yuanji has always had no compassion.

If they can't cleanse themselves of their unhealthy tendencies and turn themselves into useful people to Datang, then Li Yuanji doesn't mind letting them stay in the barracks for a few more years like regular soldiers.

Anyway, letting them go out is doing harm everywhere, bullying men and women, and harming the common people. It is better to keep them in the barracks and let them dedicate their best years to the construction of Datang.

After Li Yuanji watched his younger brothers and nephews being dragged away, he looked away and said something to Xie Shufang with a smile.

Without any hesitation, Xie Shufang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will intensify the drills, so that they will no longer have the courage to call for help, and no longer have the strength to jump their feet and shout."

For the heirs of the royal relatives and relatives, Xie Shufang used to show some kindness and mercy, but now he doesn't need it.

Because he has an old man with a strong background who also serves as a big and upright father-in-law to support him, he doesn't need to give face to any royal relatives.

None of the royal relatives dared to disobey him.

Dissatisfied?

Then go to Zongzheng Temple?
