Datang first village

Li Yuanxing was going to Liaodong. This news shocked the government and the public.

It is not at all possible to go to Liaodong secretly.

Li Er, who heard the news, rushed back to Chang'an immediately, and the first thing he said after seeing Li Yuanxing was: "Wulang, do you want to disturb the frontier?"

"Is it so serious?" Li Yuanxing didn't understand.

Li Er did not answer, but asked Li Yuanxing to follow him to the study in the palace.

Right at the door of the study, Li Er said to Eunuch Gao: "Go to investigate the case files, and go to the Ministry of Rites to adjust the files. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what is the full set of ceremonial guards for princes traveling far away? What will be the guard of honor for King Qin's long journeys two levels higher? God Admiral Ce is going out to inspect the configuration of the guards on the frontier?"

Eunuch Gao stood still.

Li Yuanxing smiled self-deprecatingly: "Old Gao, just say it directly, I'm afraid you can memorize these things."

"Returning to Your Highness, the Forbidden Army will be transferred to an elite army. Twelve transfers will be accompanied by two guards, each guard will be equipped with four armies, and the military armor will be matched with two armies. A full set of weapons, light armor is not limited. The horse army is a total of three armies, and the entire imperial army is Ma Jun, each of the twelve guards is Ma Jun!" Eunuch Gao followed Li Er into the study while talking to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing was calculating silently in his mind, one army has 2000 people, this is nine armies.

One hundred thousand and eight hundred people.

This number is really quite a lot, this number plus auxiliary soldiers can reach 20, which is about the same as the consumption of a game.

Li Er sat back on his dragon chair: "Wu Lang, don't Tiance's four guards need to follow?"

The number of Tiance Four Guards is not large, and none of the four guards has reached full staff. It can be said that the Tiance Four Guards in the official establishment are all officers. level.

"Let's take it lightly and save money." Li Yuanxing still wanted to go.

Li Er sneered: "Brother Wei, I will tell you a few trade-offs. You can decide whether to go or not. First of all, you have so many people going out of Chang'an, you have to face Yushitai, because your expenses are too high." It is huge. And there is no war in Liaodong, so this is the reason for Yushitai."

"That's right, I won't tell anyone what my brother is going to Liaodong for!"

"Okay, besides you bring so many soldiers, all the tribes in the north may not even be able to sleep soundly. You Wulang has [-] heavy soldiers, plus [-] elites. Any tribe in the north can be wiped out with a wave of your hand." You are forcing them to join forces, because no small state can face your guards alone!"

When Li Er said this, Li Yuanxing patted his head lightly: "That's the thing."

"Besides, you choose to be light and simple. The guard of honor represents the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. As the king of Tang and Qin, if you don't wear the guard of honor, are you going to lose face of the Tang Dynasty? Man. Do you know how much our cousin spent to go to Jiangnan?"

Cousin!

This is a cryptic allusion to Yang Guang.After all, the name Yang Guang cannot be mentioned casually.

Li Yuanxing shook his head, he really didn't know this value.

"The first year of Wude, the second year, the third year, and the fourth year. The total income of the treasury in these four years is just enough for his next trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, the treasury of the former Sui Dynasty was much richer than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the population of the former Sui Dynasty was also larger."

Li Yuanxing laughed: "Brother Emperor, don't raise money with your ministers. If you go to Liaodong once, even if you spend ten years in the Tang Dynasty treasury, you can earn back ten times. You must go to Liaodong, and the censors will impeach you anyway." Yes, so go anyway.”

"Why did Cui Junsu and Wang Jishan go to Yaozhou?"

Li Er asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "I'm afraid they are here to watch the excitement. There will be some interesting things happening in Yaozhou."

"My brother guesses that they decided to go to Yaozhou after they heard you said that they were going to Liaodong!" Li Er secretly pointed at Eunuch Gao. The two of you are going to hide for a while. Because when you go to Liaodong, Your Highness, firstly, you need the Ministry of Households to pay, and secondly, the Ministry of Rites is famous!"

Cunning two guys.

"Must go!" Li Yuanxing made a very sure request.

After thinking for a while, Li Er said, "If I don't persuade you, brother. But you have to go after a month, and within this month, I will leave it to the court to make sufficient preparations." Li Yuanxing just wanted to agree, and Li Er immediately changed his words: "Let's not say one month, even three months, until Brother Wei agrees!"

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing nodded vigorously.

Li Er wrote a note in front of Li Yuanxing, which was addressed to Tianying Pavilion. The content was that King Qin was going to inspect Liaodong.According to King Qin's request, consider reducing the number of accompanying guards.

In fact, Li Yuanxing really thought of this kind of thing simply.

If he was going to the frontier, the Ministry of Rites would notify the small states on the frontier in advance, to put it simply, to reassure these small states.Otherwise, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses appearing in front of these small states will cause panic.

Moreover, Li Yuanxing remained calm, dispatched troops to destroy Liang Shidu in the frontier, and besieged and killed Jieli Khan in the first battle.

"Your Highness, His Highness must not know about the Covenant of the Ministry of Rites!" Eunuch Gao spoke again under Li Er's hint.

"The covenant, these things, I really don't know!" Li Yuanxing thought for a while, he really didn't read half of the covenant.

"Go, show Wulang a copy!" Li Er pointed at Eunuch Gao.

"Don't read it, Brother Huang, let's talk about the most important words!" Li Yuanxing said in his heart that I don't care about the covenant.

Li Er thought for a while and said in person: "When the small states formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, one of them stated that no matter what His Royal Highness King Qin led troops to the frontier, he had to be formally notified in advance, and there was also a A general description of the time and route. Among them, the deviation of the route shall not exceed two hundred miles, and the deviation of time shall not exceed five days."

"If anyone wants to ambush me, this is an excellent way!" Li Yuanxing really did not expect that there would be such a part in the covenant.

Ambush!

Li Er and Li Yuanxing looked at each other, their eyes became more and more cold.

Just when Eunuch Gao was thinking about whether he should persuade him, but he couldn't make up his mind whether he should intervene at this time.At this time, Li Er and Li Yuanxing suddenly laughed together, and they said at the same time: "Ambush is good."

What's so good about ambushing, Eunuch Gao didn't understand at all.

Li Yuanxing thinks that ambushes are good, so that his guards can keep vigilant at all times, so that they can be regarded as a real elite army.

The reason why Li Er likes it is that once someone dares to ambush Li Yuanxing, he will mobilize an army to add a piece to his Datang territory.

Recently, seeing that the treasury has more money and the warehouse is full of grain, Li Er is looking forward to the war in his heart.

But right now, there is no enemy to fight.

Moreover, it has been less than a year since the peace just now, and he would not agree to fight Tianying Pavilion.

At this time, Li Yuanxing suddenly asked: "Brother Huang, after having Tianying Pavilion, it feels good!"

"It's not very happy, but it's good. You only need to set a regulation for messy official affairs, and Tianying Pavilion will handle it according to the regulation. The efficiency of the government office has improved a lot. And another advantage is that some radical ideas of my brother will Being persuaded by them, such as the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the expedition will never happen in Datang!"

What Li Er said was sincere, it was indeed his sincere thoughts.

Li Yuanxing signaled Eunuch Gao to prepare a refreshment for them. Eunuch Gao is a person with good eyesight and light ideas.Immediately, he knew that King Qin must have something to say to the Holy Majesty alone, and without further ado, he immediately withdrew.

Li Yuanxing then said: "Brother Emperor, the structure of Tianying Pavilion is that there must be places for scholars, agriculture, industry, commerce, and soldiers. There can be more scholars, but scholars cannot only be Confucian scholars. A hundred schools of thought must be revived. Confucian scholars The thinking is too single, once they fight Tianying Pavilion alone, the development of Datang will be considered to have reached the limit!"

Li Er didn't answer, didn't object, but didn't agree either.

"Brother Huang, you can carefully observe the exposition of Tianying Pavilion."

"No!" Li Er shook his head: "It doesn't need to be so complicated. Brother Wei once told you that when there is no internal fighting between them, they will fight as brother. But when they fight too fiercely It is not conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty. This degree must be mastered. Wulang’s proposal is very good, first support the Legalists, Mohists, military strategists, and political strategists. Taoism and Buddhism are not allowed to enter the court, and the peasants can’t get on the big stage right now!”

Li Yuanxing didn't bother with this issue any more.

"Brother Huang can just make up his mind. Brother I want to ask, in order to persuade my brother to go to Liaodong at night, is it worthwhile for Brother Huang to recruit my brother into the palace? Brother Huang, if you have any questions, just ask!"

"Brother Wei wants to hear you talk about the Five Wars!"

Five Wars, Li Yuanxing's Five Wars Theory.Military war, money war, cold war, cultural war, heart war.

Li Yuanxing really wanted to chat with Li Er about the Five Wars. In later modern wars, it was not just a battle of soldiers against soldiers. It could be said that the forms of war were diverse.These are no longer within the understanding of ancient military strategists.

When Li Yuanxing and Li Er were talking about the theory of the Five Wars, Tianying Pavilion had already received a note from Li Er.

"Add an urgent topic!"

Because Wang Jishan was absent, Li Jing temporarily became the meeting host of Tianying Pavilion.

"King Qin is going to Liaodong for inspection, and the Holy Majesty has agreed. Tianying Pavilion is responsible for the specific details, including the time of travel. His Royal Highness King Qin wants to be light and easy. Let's discuss it!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he signaled the clerk to prepare to record.

Among the venues of Tianying Pavilion, there were actually 89 members of Tianying Pavilion present, and there were three people from Jianyuan who were in attendance.There are a total of 31 officials from the six ministries discussing matters here, and 12 of them are qualified to speak on the issues of the ministries.

But the venue was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

But no one spoke. (To be continued.)
