Man Tanghong

Chapter 610
Wu Heikai was also speechless when asked.

This is indeed the case.

Datang issued salaries to hundreds of officials, and all officials worked for Datang.

Only those who have made great military exploits for the Great Tang can live in the Great Tang and wait to die.

As for literary merit, in the eyes of everyone in Datang, it is far less valuable than military exploits, and it is not worthy of living in Datang and waiting to die.

Although some of the officials in the Xiuwenguan have military exploits, most of them were killed in the previous coup in the palace and in the escape from Chang'an City with Li Tai, and the rest are almost nothing. People with military exploits are not qualified to lie on the credit book and wait to die.

While Li Yuanji gave them their salaries, he should use some means to force them to work for Datang.

This kind of matter, no matter where it is said, Li Yuanji is justified.

So Wu Heitai couldn't say anything to refute at all.

Niu Jinda saw that Zhang Liang and Wu Heikai were dumbfounded by Li Yuanji's questioning, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "So His Highness sent them to Jingzhou to guard Jingzhou and prevent all barbarians from making trouble?"

So what he said was just a scene, and his real intention was definitely not this.

Zhang Liang still couldn't believe it.

At the end of August, the six commanding military mansions of King Qi's mansion, plus a reserve battalion, were officially abolished.

Li Yuanji pretended not to notice anything, and said with a smile.

Under such circumstances, Xie Shufang couldn't hold back.

Before Niu Jinda came back to his senses, Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating that the three of them could leave. Niu Jinda hesitated for a while with a puzzled face, and finally, led by Zhang Liang, bowed and left Zhaode Hall.

Li Yuanji thought about it, and after looking around Niu Jinda and Wu Heita, he probably guessed Zhang Liang's intention.

Yu Wenbao became the biggest beneficiary of this, and I don't know how this bastard told the Xue brothers that the Xue brothers were willing to hand over some of the elite soldiers they brought from Youzhou to him. Let him use it to replace part of the Qianniu Imperial City Guard.

As long as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are detained, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others will not be able to help Li Shimin plan anything when they have no soldiers to transfer and no generals to dispatch. It is impossible to help Li Shimin make a comeback.

Because the original Qianniu Imperial City Guard was reorganized by the soldiers of Zuo Tunwei, with Yu Wenbao and Chang He each in charge.

The three provinces had no way to intervene in this matter, nor could they send other people to do it, so Li Yuanji had to personally do everything.

Niu Jinda stared in astonishment, unexpectedly Li Yuanji asked him to take care of Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, he couldn't believe his ears for a while.

Only Li Yuanji can come in person.

Therefore, after the decree to depose the Tongjun Mansion was conveyed to the camp of the Tongjun Mansion, after Li Yuanji personally read out the decree to depose the Tongjun Mansion, and promoted most of the generals and schools to one level.

After all, as a soldier of the twelve guards, there is no such thing as a soldier who is in power.

But in internal struggles, such words will never be practiced.

As long as he is not assigned, he can accept it.

The soldiers of the Twelve Guards could only receive a fixed salary from the court, and the amount was not large enough to support their families, and there was no way to accumulate wealth at all.

Li Yuanji looked at Zhang Liang thoughtfully, and analyzed Zhang Liang's intentions in doing so.

Zhang Liang didn't expect what he would gain, and after a moment of stunned, he bowed to thank him.

Niu Jinda froze for a moment, Zhang Liang and Wu Heita also slowly raised their heads.

Li Yuanji said amusedly.

The overall strength of the twelve guards has reached a new level.

This made Qianniu Huangchengwei the strongest soldier in the palace.

Being a soldier of the ruler is different. Although the salary is also fixed, you can get a lot of benefits and enjoy certain privileges by being a soldier of the ruler.

Otherwise, he wouldn't stand between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. After all, Li Yuan was still alive and in his prime, so he didn't have to make a choice so anxiously.

"Isn't that enough?"

When Yu Wenbao swaggered past the gate of Anlimen for the third time, Li Shimin held the chess in one hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Did the guy under your hand have a convulsion?"

"He is now the general of Qianniu Imperial City Guard. You are just a commoner, so he is not allowed to show off in front of you. Also, you are a commoner, what qualifications do you have to call him a convulsion?"

"Okay, it's time to explain to you, I have already explained, you can go down."

"So, His Highness really wants us to guard Jingzhou to prevent chaos from all kinds of barbarians?"

Although he felt that what Xu Shizong and others did was purely courting death, he still couldn't do anything if he was asked to crusade against Xu Shizong and others.

After Yu Wenbao used the Xue brothers to replace the soldiers under his command with elite soldiers and strong generals, his combat effectiveness would naturally increase. Adding Chang He together would naturally strengthen his strength.

It was because he, Zhang Liang, and Wu Heita couldn't see Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Cheng Yaojin, no one gave them advice, and they were panicked, so they made a little noise and wanted to take the opportunity to meet Qin Qiong and the others .

Li Yuanji had to admit that Zhang Liang's approach was very clever. It not only showed him his loyalty to Datang on the surface, but also calmed the hearts of Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

So Yu Wenbao's waist became stiff, and he walked with wind.

Wu Heikai didn't join in the fun.

All the soldiers in the Commanding Army Mansion, as well as the soldiers in the reserve battalion, were filled into the twelve guards.

Zhang Liang's face changed again, and he shook his head decisively.

As for what Zhang Liang said, 'in order to show his determination not to betray Datang', he didn't believe a word.

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, then stood up slowly, bowed and said: "That's the case, the minister will follow His Highness's order, and hope His Highness will treat his family members kindly."

That's right, if distribution is really needed, Jiaozhou, which is more chaotic, backward, and wilder, is obviously more suitable.

This is a grace that can only be obtained by taking the family as hostages, and he doesn't want his family to be hostages yet.

Zhang Liang may practice this kind of words in foreign wars.

Although it is a good thing for Yinbu's son to become an official, his son does not lack the opportunity to become an official. All his colleagues are qualified to recommend him. When his son grows up, he can rely on the recommendation of his colleagues to become an official. Going to hang out in the yamen governed by colleagues, you can make your way to the top easily, there is no need to join in this kind of excitement.

Li Yuanji nodded, and said with a calm smile: "If you don't want to, I can also transfer you to assist King Ren. But King Ren is now attacking your former colleagues, but I don't know if you can go down after you go." Got a ruthless hand."

Niu Jinda hesitated and didn't speak.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Otherwise?"

Let Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others can help Li Shimin plan with peace of mind, without worrying that he will hold back.

So after learning that he can't get any benefits, and can't enjoy the privileges, the soldiers of the Commanding Army Mansion will definitely make trouble.

Niu Jinda saw that both Zhang Liang and Wu Heikai had received new errands, but he had not received anything. He didn't think that Li Yuanji would ask him to enter the palace aimlessly, so he took the initiative to say: "I don't know if His Highness is going to let the minister Where are you going to guard?"

Zhang Liang nodded without hesitation and said: "Only in this way can I show that I will not betray Datang even if I swear to my death."

Otherwise, the soldiers of the Commanding Army Mansion will have opinions and lose their temper.

The soldiers in the camp of the Tongjun Mansion just complained, and after a few fights, they died down.

Zhang Liang did this to reassure Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, and even Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

When Niu Jinda and the others left Zhaode Hall and were preparing to go to Jingzhou and the camp of the Commanding Army Mansion of the Prince of Qi, Li Yuanji was busy arranging the removal of the six commanding military mansions under his command and a reserve battalion.

Unexpectedly, it took them a long time to achieve one-third of their goal, and Li Yuanji let them achieve it easily.

Fortunately, the six commanding military mansions of Prince Qi's Mansion have not been established for a long time, and the soldiers inside were recruited from all over the country. The sense of belonging to the commanding military mansions is not too strong, and it is not easy to unite and make trouble.

It's a pity that all his painstaking efforts are destined to go to waste.

As the general of the former Zuo Tunwei, Chang He naturally selected a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals for himself, and the rest for Yu Wenbao was naturally some soldiers with average combat effectiveness.

His purpose is very simple. He wants to use this method to tell Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others that he will not mess around outside, and he will not harm them. Do everything they want in the city, don't worry about him holding back.

"It's rare for you to be so loyal, so I will help you to become an official, so that you can rest assured to frighten the barbarians in Jingzhou."

However, he was no longer so conflicted.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you going to leave your family behind?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Go and take care of Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong, and Cheng Yaojin for the time being. I will make other arrangements when they recover from their injuries."

Li Yuanji continued: "If I really want to distribute them, why do I send them to Jingzhou? Couldn't Jiaozhou accommodate them?"

After all, when Wang Shichong was conquered before, he fought side by side with Xu Shizong, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship, so how could he kill Xu Shizong.

Li Jiancheng was watching the chess, but his mind was not on the chess. After Li Shimin spoke, he began to pierce Li Shimin's heart without hesitation.

After the eight commanding military mansions under Li Shimin's command were recruited to six, and after most of the officials in the Xiuwen Hall and some generals in the Tiance Mansion were recruited, the decree about demoting Li Shimin to a commoner was also issued.

Li Shimin has now become a serious commoner, that is, a second-class citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin learned about this, his face was downcast for several days. Li Jiancheng knew that this would greatly stimulate Li Shimin, so whenever he found an opportunity, he crazily pierced Li Shimin's heart.
