The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

The weather was gloomy and rainy. In the Du mansion, under a tree full of crabapple flowers, Du Rui was making tea while listening to Li Chengqian pouring bitter water.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. No one knows what they are born with. No one is born to lead soldiers. It's good to realize the truth in it after a long time." Du Rui didn't seem to notice Li Chengqian's problem at all. Just smiled and comforted.

Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and said: "My heart is too soft, I was not born a competent general. Chengming! When I came out of Chengqing Palace yesterday, Gu suddenly had a terrible premonition."

Du Rui looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "I don't know what your Highness has a premonition about?"

Li Chengqian replied: "This general seal will sooner or later knock Gu Gu off that high chair in the East Palace!"

After saying these words, Li Chengqian got up and supported a crabapple tree, his body was shaking, as if he was about to fall down.

Du Rui also stood up, and comforted him: "Your Highness! You think too much, the situation is not as bad as you think!"

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Du Rui, and said with a grateful expression: "Fortunately, fortunately, there is Cheng Ming, you can listen to Gu's nonsense!"

Li Chengqian's voice seemed weak, which made Du Rui feel uncomfortable. He has always regarded Li Chengqian as his best friend. Maybe Li Chengqian is cowardly and doesn't have much talent, but he is definitely among the princes of Taizong , the kindest person, and having known Li Chengqian for so long, Du Rui hardly ever saw Li Chengqian lose his temper with his servants, and even if the servants had minor faults, Li Chengqian mostly laughed it off.

Originally, there were some things that Du Rui didn't want to say, but seeing Li Chengqian's appearance now, he had to say: "Your Highness! Do you feel that you have failed the Holy Majesty's expectations?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "All along, I have always hoped to make my father proud of me, and I tried my best to do my errands well, but~~~~~~Gu is just too incompetent, and I can't do anything well."

Du Rui sighed: "Hasn't Your Highness ever thought that His Majesty has actually guessed that His Highness can't train the Flying Tiger Army?"

Li Chengqian was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Du Rui in astonishment.

At this moment in the Chengqing Palace, Hou Junji, who already knew about the incident of stealing the army and horses, was pleading for orders from Emperor Taizong, hoping to take over the Flying Tiger Army. What happened to the Flying Tiger Army?

The arrival of Hou Junji made Taizong finally heave a sigh of relief. He had worked so hard to hope for this result.

Before accepting the appointment, Hou Junji asked Taizong to let Li Chengqian leave the Flying Tiger Army with dignity, but Taizong refused. He told his beloved general that when he started to train a real Flying Tiger Army, that The old Flying Tiger Army will continue to exist, and it will be used as a cover to deceive people until the Northern Expedition begins.

"Jieli has experienced many battles, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes. If the prince doesn't go on stage to pour Jieli's milk soup, how can this dark drama deceive his eyes? Junji, for the sake of performing tricks, this Don't tell him about it."

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help but said with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, it's just that the crown prince has suffered too much! He's still young, and I'm really worried that his shoulders won't hold up."

Taizong was also a little sad, walked over and patted Hou Junji on the shoulder and said, "Who made him the crown prince? He was born to bear more burdens for this country than others."

Taizong and Hou Junji had a secret meeting in the Chengqing Palace all day, and at dusk when the sun was setting in the western mountains, they rode their horses together to a field west of the Wei Bridge, where the battle between the Tang army and Jieli cavalry was held in the ninth year of Wude. This is where Hou Junji's brave Flying Tiger Army fought to the last eleven.

Taizong asked him to take him to see the tomb of the old Flying Tiger Army. Hou Junji pointed to a piece of wasteland and said: "The old minister originally wanted to build a separate tomb for them, but later I thought that the Flying Tiger Army is not the flying tiger army of our Hou family. The Tiger Army, it is the Flying Tiger Army of the Tang Dynasty. So I buried them here along with the [-] soldiers who died in battle!"

Taizong said with some emotion: "They are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hou Junji turned around and shouted: "Chi Deli, beat the drums and blow the horn!"

Chi Deli waved to a small group of soldiers behind him, a battle drum was beating loudly, and a row of trombones blasted into the sky.Hou Junji's desolate voice resounded in the wind on the wasteland: "You bastards, did you hear that? Your Majesty is going to make a northern expedition, get up quickly, and follow me!"

The setting sun was like blood, and the war drums and bugles called over and over again for the legendary army that had gone away. Although nothing appeared in the wilderness until dark, in everyone's hearts, those cavalrymen who were silent in the mud really The one has stood up and is holding his military flag forward to the wind.

"Chengming! What do you mean to say, from the very beginning, Father didn't expect to be able to become a Flying Tiger Army, so the Flying Tiger Army is just a cover!?"

Although Du Rui was in a dilemma, he could only nod his head and said, "If my younger brother's prediction is not bad, it should be like this!"

When Li Chengqian heard the words, his heart sank, and he said: "So in the eyes of my father, Gu is just a child who is not at ease in the world. It turns out that my father never expected Gu!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was losing his mind, Du Rui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you think so, you are very wrong. At this moment, the Holy Majesty may feel more uncomfortable than His Highness, and His Highness can come to my younger brother to explain it, but the Holy Majesty, He can only watch his favorite eldest son bear such great pressure alone!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt sad in his heart, and said: "But why didn't the father tell me clearly!?"

Du Rui persuaded: "If the Holy Majesty tells His Highness clearly, can this dark scene still be staged? Your Highness is the crown prince of the Tang Empire, and the future master of this empire. From the day he sits on the throne of the Eastern Palace, His Highness You are destined to bear more responsibilities than other princes, Your Highness, this is your destiny!"

Hearing what Du Rui said, Li Chengqian felt better after thinking about it for a while, and said, "Chengming! Come and tell me what I should do."

Li Chengqian didn't say he was lonely anymore. At this moment, he just wanted Du Rui to give him an idea, so that he could prove himself to Taizong while helping Taizong perform the scene well.

Du Rui looked at Li Chengqian, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Highness, kindness does not command soldiers, righteousness does not lead!"

Hou Junji's training for the new Flying Tiger Army officially started the next day. At the same time, the original Flying Tiger Army that was almost forgotten by Emperor Taizong also quietly began to reorganize.

Although Du Rui didn't want to become an official so early, but Li Chengqian encountered difficulties, Du Rui still couldn't help but want to come out to help, not because Li Chengqian was the prince, but because Li Chengqian was his friend.

As early as when this Flying Tiger Army was formed, Emperor Taizong gave Li Chengqian the right to act cheaply. Except for those honorable children, most of the army was drawn from the forbidden army, and some were recruited from the people.

The location of the military training was found by Fang Xuanling at the beginning, and it was very secret. It was a Sui Dynasty Imperial Guard barracks in Zhongnan Mountain that had been abandoned for many years.

Even so, after following Li Chengqian around for a while, Du Rui was still not at ease about the secrecy here. It is impossible for Qibing to truly hide under the Nine Grounds.Because an army cannot use military pay, and once the pay is used, the household department, the military department, and local officials have to be involved. No matter how careful you are in other matters, as long as you keep this ventilation window, you can't hide anything.

Fortunately, Taizong set up this Flying Tiger Army to confuse Jieli, and there is no need to be so mysterious. There are soldiers who are upright and strange. Since no one is optimistic that Li Chengqian can bring out a strong army, Du Rui just big Fangfang, anyway, both Taizong and Jieli thought that this Flying Tiger Army was just an embroidered pillow, and it was useless to look at it again. The more they thought so, the more Du Rui wanted to help Li Chengqian train a truly strong soldier.

The key now is to ensure the combat effectiveness of this army. If these soldiers are indulged as before, they will not be qualified in terms of discipline first.

Still the same sentence, kindness does not command soldiers.
