Ji Tang

Chapter 1148 The wind is blowing in Chang'an, everyone young and old can do it!

"Then should we send more people to him? After all."

Changsun said worriedly.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Still sending?How else to send?
Now, Ji Song's men, plus Tubo's allies and servants, as well as all the troops in the Western Regions, total 30, of which 15 are the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of force is this?
In the Tang Dynasty, with hundreds of people outnumbering ten thousand, this was a force that could dominate the world and destroy families and countries.If it is sent to others again, unless he or the prince personally leads the troops, the court will never agree.

No matter how much he trusts Ji Song, this is the bottom line. As a qualified emperor, how can he give all this power to a minister?
"Don't worry. You don't know that kid. When have you ever fought an uncertain battle? With his brain, he can play around with the Turks. What's more, he brought so many new weapons and a large number of crossbows. The car, and the craftsman who almost caused me to be sprayed to death by the courtiers, if it were anyone else, I would not be able to sleep well at night."

Changsun Muran, of course he knows this, and being in the royal family, he knows better than anyone else what this power means?
But thinking that Ji Song is now facing hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry and the coming elite of the Great Food, can she not be worried?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ji Song was just a favored minister of the royal family, but only he, the emperor and the prince knew what his existence meant.

How could they not be worried about a person who they had watched grow up and who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty? In order to avoid suspicion, he even split up his family to weaken his family's power.
Although I don't want to admit it, Ji Song and the others were still a little worried about becoming powerful ministers in the future. If they were not restricted, they might bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty in the future!
Of course not when they are here, and there is no need to worry too much when the prince is here.But what about his descendants?
However, since the Battle of the South China Sea, when they learned that his legs were disabled, while they were distressed and regretful, they may not be relieved!
Because they knew that from now on, Ji Song would only become a capable minister and the pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

It is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this time the emperor handed over hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Western Regions to Ji Song without hesitation, without even sending a supervisor. What does this mean?This shows that he will not have any accidents at all!
"Since we can't send troops, then send people!"

"Is this all right?"

Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up when his mother said this.

Well, there is no need to think about the soldiers and horses. Even if they agree, the courtiers will not agree.But you can send people. Sending all those powerful generals will not only eliminate the suspicion of the courtiers, but also enhance the combat power of the soldiers and horses in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Why not?

Anyway, except for the need to stabilize the garrison in the grasslands and Liaodong, the soldiers and generals in other places are of little use.Rather than leaving it to rust in the Central Plains, it would be better to send it to the Western Regions.

This will not only train generals who have not been in battle for a long time, but also give Ji Song the greatest support. It is simply killing three birds with one stone!

"Okay, let me think about it and see who can be mobilized."

After speaking, he looked at the prince and said, "You should also think about it. The younger ones have more contact, so I'll leave it to you. Those old guys who complain all day long that they have no war to fight should also use their muscles."

"My son understands!"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson and said: "Go and ask, who of the children of the honorable family are willing to go? Compared with the first generation, these second and third generations are much worse. How can they grow up quickly without going through ups and downs? "

"Now the Tang Dynasty can't wait. After these two battles, it's hard to say whether we will lose, but once we win, there will be no major wars in the next few decades. If we don't take advantage of this moment to train a group of outstanding people, General, in the future the day lilies will be cold."

"Okay, let's all split up. I'll go meet those old guys first!"

After saying that, he hurried out of the hall and casually ordered Chen Shou to deliver the order!
"Cheng Qian, you must take this matter seriously. Although your relationship with Ziyi is there, you must stand firm at this time. It is undeniable that Ziyi has the ability to lead the overall situation."

Changsun Kou was sincere and even said with some pride: "If he could stabilize your people's hearts and morale in the military before, then when he comes back this time, with his prestige, he will be the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty."

"Such a person is rare in a hundred years, and we all know his thoughts. He will definitely not easily enter the court when he comes back this time. But as long as he is in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is alive, he will be your most powerful aid. "

"So, we can't regard him as a simple minister. Sometimes people's hearts change. Ziyi always values ​​feelings. You must not be confused in this regard!"

Li Chengqian nodded seriously and said with a smile: "Mother, you can rest assured that I know what to do!"

"Okay, Queen Mother believes in you. You and Ziyi are both good boys. I hope that you, the king and the brothers, will help each other in the future. With you here, the Tang Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"Go ahead, time waits for no one. Every moment of morning, Ziyi has a better chance of winning."

Li Chengqian bowed. He knew that what his mother said today was really from the bottom of his heart. Being able to say it already made him feel guilty.

"My son, let's go now!"

After speaking, he left without looking back. The eldest grandson looked at his son's back and took a few steps forward, but finally stopped.

"Son, this is all my mother can help you with!"

Finally, looking to the west, it seems that Ji Song is fighting a bloody battle with the enemy. There are flames of war and enemies everywhere.

"Ziyi, don't blame Your Majesty and me, this is fate."
-
Chang'an suddenly became lively because of an imperial edict from the emperor. All the old ministers and generals who had faded away from the court suddenly received an edict from the emperor, saying that they had not seen each other for many years and missed them very much. They wanted to catch up with everyone.

Although I don’t know what kind of medicine the emperor sells in his gourd, the fact that the emperor can still remember them when they are dying is a matter of honor in itself.

So, one by one, the veterans, who had followed the emperor to conquer the world, went to the palace accompanied by their children and grandchildren.The reason why he brought his children and grandchildren was because he heard that the prince also hosted a banquet for many younger generations, saying that he wanted to meet the young heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it.

Who in the Tang Dynasty does not know that the status of the current crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and the battle for the right to inherit the throne has disappeared long ago.I have the support of the queen and the trust of the emperor.Hundreds of officials were impressed, and even more supported by the military.

In addition, he has been serving as the supervisor of the country for the past few years. Although he has not yet ascended the throne, his executive powers are almost the same as those of the emperor. If such a prince is not eager to fawn over, when will he wait?
Zhang Liang has been unwell since the last time he led the army in Liaodong, and has been recuperating at home during this time.His son Zhang Wei, who originally followed Ji Song to the Western Regions, had to stay in Chang'an to manage family affairs.Tang Jian, after returning from Yindi, has been teaching in the academy, and his life is extremely happy.My body, which was originally overdrawn at sea, miraculously improved a lot, and my hair, which was originally completely white, now has black hair, which is amazing.

He didn't want to come this time, but for some reason, Mr. Baishan, who was serving as the academy's liberator, kicked him out of the library.What else is said about being too old to die because he is a thief who doesn't take advantage of the few years he can still live to go out and do things, but wants to hang out in the academy and wait for death?
Anyway, no matter how much he resisted and how reluctant he was, he was sent to Chang'an by a few students.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, is over fifty years old this year.During the Sui Dynasty, Menyin became an official and started his career as Youxunwei.He fled the battle of Goryeo and took refuge with Tang Guogong Li Yuan, cooperating with Liu Hongji in recruiting troops.

After Jinyang raised troops, he served as the commander of the army, pacified Huoyi, captured Linfen, captured the famous general Qu Tutong alive, pacified Shaanxian County, and made many military exploits.After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he paid homage to General Zuo Xiaowei and conferred the title of Duke Xue.In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and hunted down Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remaining members.

After Li Shimin came to the throne, he was highly used.If an official takes bribes, he will be dismissed from office.He was appointed as the governor of Zezhou. Three years ago he begged for bones and went home to recuperate. He has long since ceased to appear in court.

Liu Hongji was born in Chiyang, Yongzhou. During the Sui Dynasty, he was the son of Liu Sheng, the governor of Hezhou.

In the late Sui Dynasty, Liu Hongji deliberately slaughtered farm cattle privately to avoid conquest of Goguryeo and was imprisoned.

Later, when Li Yuan was cavalry, he defected to Taiyuan, followed Li Yuan and his son, and became friendly with Li Shimin.

After raising the army, he led the troops to cross the river first and entered Chang'an. He defeated the Wei Wen Sheng and awarded it to General You Xiaowei for his merits.During the crusade against Xue Ju, he fought hard and was captured, but he refused to give in.When he arrived at Xue Rengaoping, he returned.

During the Zhenguan period, he was awarded the title of Wei Qing and the Duke of Kui for his meritorious service in the Xuanwumen Revolution.In the 19th year of Zhenguan, he followed the expedition to Goguryeo and became the general manager of the former army. He fought with great merit.

This is a general who is truly a reckless man in addition to fighting. When it comes to fighting, there is nothing to say. He goes into battle to kill the enemy with unparalleled bravery.But as the past few years of peaceful life passed by, a lot of random things happened.

But Li Shimin looked at his past achievements and reprimanded him.

But who would have thought that this guy would be disrespectful to his elders and robbed a common girl on the street, a girl from an official family.This angered the civil servants and eldest grandson, and Li Shimin hated them even more.

In anger, he directly rubbed his title, but there was no other punishment.During this period, he drank all day long to relieve his worries, stayed at night in Pingkangfang, and owed a lot of money. Li Shimin was so angry that he just ignored it and did whatever he wanted. He would just die on the street!
This time when he heard that he was present at the emperor's banquet, he couldn't believe his ears.After his family informed him that this was indeed the case, he kowtowed three times at the entrance of the palace, then left in tears, and vowed that if he dared to mess around again in the future, he would wipe his own neck without having to deal with it by His Majesty.

Only those who have experienced despair know how rare this opportunity is. His Majesty still remembers himself and his achievements, but he just failed to live up to his expectations.

After returning home, he warned his son not to act recklessly. If he found out, he would be beaten to death!
He once served as the marching commander of Dongzhou Road and sent troops to attack the rebellious Goguryeo people. , defeated the remaining Goguryeo troops at Baishui Mountain and defeated the reinforced Silla soldiers.

There was also Gao Kan, but Gao Kan had been dispatched at this time.

Gao Kan was born in the Bohai Gao family. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin appointed Gao Kan as the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, and led the Huihe, Pugu and other troops to attack Chebi. Some time ago, Chebi was captured in Jinshan, and all of them surrendered.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned about it, but he did not let his troops return to the court. Instead, he led his troops directly to the Western Regions, where he joined Ji Song in Khotanchi and obeyed the orders of Duke Tan.

In addition to these people, there are also many middle and lower-level generals. Although their positions are not high now, their abilities are nothing to say.If it hadn't been for bad luck and problems like this, I would have been promoted long ago, and I wouldn't be still hanging around at the bottom now.

But this time Li Shimin decided to give them a chance. If they couldn't seize it again, there would be nothing they could do.The opportunity is given to you, but if you don't use it, then you can't blame him.

Li Chengqian is not idle here, and the veteran has his father over there.His place was much more lively, and all the capable children in the Xungui family were called over by him.

Originally, the family was unwilling to do so, fearing that it would steal the limelight from their legitimate son.But Li Chengqian doesn't care about this. What he needs is people who are capable and dare to fight. He doesn't care at all about their identity.

It's good to be a concubine, because a concubine is not taken seriously at home, and if you are a little bit ambitious, you want to prove that you are no worse than a legitimate son.There are many capable people among these people.

Their thoughts on making achievements are much more important than others. They have not had to worry about food and clothing since they were young. However, under the pressure from their families, they can only become second-generation ancestors in Chang'an.

Now Li Chengqian plans to give them a chance, a chance to prove themselves. As for whether they can grasp it, it depends on their ability.

Ziyi is not like other generals. If he were an ordinary general, sending these people away would be causing trouble to others.But Ziyi is different. He doesn't care about the identities of these people. Li Chengqian knows this better than anyone else.

Among these people, Zhang Wei, Pei Xingjian, and Gao Shi are the best.

Zhang Wei won't say much, but Pei Xingjian is a rare talent.

Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family in Hedong. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he was taught military magic by Su Dingfang, and Su Dingfang was taught by Li Jing and Ji Song. Therefore, it can be said that Pei Xingjian was the disciple of these two in military matters.

Just last year, the Khans Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhepu of the ten Turkic tribes lured the affiliated tribes to harass Anxi. Pei Xingjian used a trick to capture the rebellious Western Turkic Khan Ashina Duzhi and promoted him to the post of The Minister of Rites and the Right Guard General of the School, holding both civil and military positions.You can see his talent.

Speaking of his grandfather Gao Kan, everyone may not be very familiar with it, but when it comes to Gao Shi, there are probably not many people who don't know him.This man is only in his twenties, but he has traveled to the frontier many times.

His poems have been circulated in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and have their own style. They can be said to be one of the achievements after the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He is very valued by his father and often takes him with him to do things.

None of these people are simple, even though he seems to be a playboy, few people know that they have also been familiar with military literature and are top students at Taibai Royal Academy, but for some reason their reputation has not been prominent.

The first is family reasons, which I won’t go into here. There is so much power among wealthy families that it’s embarrassing to talk about it.

Secondly, there is no chance. The reason why they can come here this time is because Li Chengqian issued a decree. Otherwise, the family can allow them to come?
Seeing the crowd of talents, he finally understood what Ji Song said: Datang has never lacked talents, it just lacks channels and fair opportunities to discover talents.

Isn't this an opportunity?
