Datang all-rounder

Chapter 36

Wang Ke lay on the bed with her eyes open, really not wanting to get up.

The sky was getting colder, and lying in bed was really an indescribable enjoyment for a person like Wang Ke.But when I thought of Comrade Li Er who asked me to enter the palace to see him after the morning court yesterday, I regretted my troublesome things at the beginning, but now I can't take it back even if I want to.

Taking out a cigarette and lighting it, Wang Ke thought about what kind of things Comrade Li Er would tell him when he entered the palace today. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out. In the end, he decided to only talk about military matters. , the other is to find a way to prevaricate when asked.

He was really scared.If something happens again, I really don't have time to do whatever I want to do.

All the way to the outside of the palace gate, Wang Ke saw a figure hovering around the gate and looking up from time to time.Wang Ke saw that it was Eunuch Liu, the eunuch who served Comrade Li Er, and hurriedly drove the car beside him and stopped.

When Eunuch Liu saw the car, he knew that Wang Ke had arrived.After all, Wang Ke is the only person in the Tang Dynasty who uses this thing as a means of transportation.As long as it is a person in this circle, who doesn't know it.

Eunuch Liu didn't wait for Wang Ke to get out of the car, he directly opened the car door and sat on the co-pilot's seat, and said to Wang Ke: "My lord, you are here. Before the court, the emperor asked me to wait for you at the palace gate." , I told you to go directly to the imperial study and wait for him. Let’s go quickly, I’m afraid we’re about to go to court now.”

Wang Ke said in his mouth: "There is Mrs. Lao." But he said in his heart: "I don't know if I will go down? I came here on time. If I come early, where should I go for a walk? Why don't I sleep more at home?" What time!"

Under the guidance of Eunuch Liu, Wang Ke drove the car all the way into the harem.

This time is much more convenient than the last time when Wang Si brought Wang Ke here. Maybe it’s because Eunuch Liu didn’t want to walk and wanted to take more commuting cars. He led Wang Ke to drive to a place not far from the Imperial Study Room. He stopped, and after getting off the car, he could reach the door of the Imperial Study Room within a short walk.

Seeing that Comrade Li Er hadn't returned from court, Wang Ke refused to stay in the car despite Eunuch Liu's repeated request to wait in the imperial study.

He knew that once he went in and waited, he would not be as free as outside.

Not long after, Wang Ke heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard, and he knew that it was Comrade Li Er who had returned.

Wang Ke deliberately wore a new military uniform that he made according to the military uniforms of later generations. His purpose of doing this was not to kneel down and salute.

He has been in Datang for some time, but he is still not used to this way of kneeling and saluting.Perhaps this is also a manifestation of his character brought to him by the education that everyone is equal to later generations.He wanted to use this new military uniform to give a military salute to Comrade Li Er without having to kneel down.Because during the review yesterday, he saw that Comrade Li Er was not disgusted with this salute.

Standing beside the car, Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er entered the courtyard, hurried forward, raised his hand as a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the emperor, Shi Wangke, the marching commander of the Right Guard Army, has been ordered to come, please give instructions. "

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Ke heard his father Wang Si behind Comrade Li Er with a somewhat reproachful voice: "Ke'er, why didn't you kneel down and salute when you saw the emperor? Why don't you kneel down quickly!"

Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said: "No, I think it's not bad to salute like this. From now on, the military officers can salute like this at other times when they first go to court. This military salute looks very generous, and it also fits the suit worn by the boy of the Wang family." It's a new uniform."

Wang Ke was about to kneel after his father asked him to kneel down to salute. When he heard what Comrade Li Er said, he straightened up his bent legs and waist, and wanted Comrade Li Er to slap him as soon as he flattered him: "Your majesty is wise. This kind of military salute fits the unique masculinity of soldiers. When you stand up and raise your head, the pride of soldiers will also be reflected unconsciously. I thought this salute would attract criticism, but I didn't expect the emperor to see it. I can see the mystery. The emperor really doesn’t see things more deeply than I do, and the angle of seeing things is better than ours. The emperor is the emperor, and there are very few people who can’t compare."

Wang Ke seemed to be talking about the characteristics of this military salute, but unintentionally, it was all flattery to Comrade Li Er.Anyone who is not a fool can tell, but no one can say that Wang Ke is just flattering Comrade Li Er.

Comrade Li Er was full of smiles, and he could obviously feel that he was quite at ease after listening to Wang Ke's words.

Wang Ke followed behind Comrade Li Er and secretly glanced at the group of people who followed Comrade Li Er.There are quite a few civil servants, including their father Wang Si, the prime minister of the court and the eldest son Wuji in the court; behind him there is a thin face with a serious face, but people can feel this at a glance. He is a very upright and proud middle-aged man.

Wang Ke recalled the history books he had read, and felt that this person should be Wei Zheng.Because Wei Zheng's outspoken advice often prevented Comrade Li Er from coming to power, he was very famous in history, so there are also his portraits in history books.After Wang Ke compared the two, he identified it as Mr. Zheng Guogong Wei Zhengwei.

There are even more generals: Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei; Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, the Duke of England;There are a few others that I have seen, but I am not very familiar with.Wang Ke only knew that it was Li Cungong, king of Zhao Jun, Chai Shao, Duke of Qiao State, and Qin Shubao, Duke of Hu State.

Entering the study, Comrade Li Er sat on the upper hand and called everyone to sit down.The civil and military officials sat down on the left and right separately, only to hear Comrade Li Er say: "I invite all the ministers to come here after the court today. I want the boy from the Wang family to tell me how much he treats me after staying in the right guard for a while. Tang Junjun's opinion and what he thinks. Let's talk about it later when Fang Qing and Du Qing come, and now everyone should drink tea and rest for a while."

As soon as Wang Ke heard that there were two more people coming, and as soon as he heard the surnames, he knew that they must be Du Ruzi, the Duke of Lai, and Fang Xuanling, the Duke of Liang.

These two people are incredible. In this era, they are known as "Fang Mou Duan", and they can be said to be Comrade Li Er's senior advisers.Many of Comrade Li Er's decisions and strategies came from these two people, and they won the trust of Comrade Li Er.

Wang Ke understood that it was not a joke to ask him to come here today, what kind of changes what he said would bring to the current Tang court and army.He secretly told himself that what he said must stand up to scrutiny, and as long as there was a slight uncertainty, he must not say it lightly.

This will be the most important exam for him to step forward in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty. If he passes it, it will be smooth sailing, and if he makes a mistake, he will never recover.If it's not good, I have to catch up with my father's future.That was what Wang Ke didn't want to see the most.

Wang Ke was thinking wildly when three people came in, greeted Comrade Li Er, and sat opposite each other to the civil servants.

Wang Ke was taken aback, and said to himself, "Didn't you mean two people? Why are there three?"

Hearing everyone's greetings, Wang Ke knew that besides Fang and Du, the other was Comrade Li Er's uncle, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, who is currently serving as a minister under the court.

Wang Ke was dizzy. He didn't expect to see so many celebrities in Tang Dynasty. Except for himself and his father, the rest were all one of the 24 ministers of Lingyan Pavilion. My father is not unknown in this era. The older generation is also a recorded figure in history.I didn't expect that I would be able to sit with these big shots after traveling here. They still came to listen to my opinions.Cool!It's so refreshing!

He hurriedly stood up to greet the visitor, and said some nonsense that had been admired for a long time, such as Lei Guaner.Of course, the other party also praised Wang Ke for being so capable at such a young age, he is really a pillar of the country.

Comrade Li Er saw that the two sides were talking endlessly, so he had to interrupt their mutual flattery, and said: "Everyone is here, so let's talk about it, boy of the Wang family."

Wang Ke straightened his thoughts, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, my lords, the boy has no talent and learning, but fortunately the emperor valued him and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. In the past three months, the boy has also learned something about my Tang army in the right guard army. Things. From the boy’s point of view, my Tang army is emphatic, but..."

Wang Ke started again, but there is no way, no one can talk about the shortcomings right away, this is to talk about the advantages first and then the shortcomings, let alone this is the subordinate of Mr. Cheng, so don't say something nice first Yes, with his temper, Wang Ke is still not demolished.

"But there are still deficiencies in some aspects, and there is a lot of room for improvement. The boy is combining the advantages of the armies of many countries in the Far West Country with our army of the Tang Dynasty, taking the essence and discarding the dross. Boy I think there is still room for improvement in the following aspects of my Datang army."

Wang Ke glanced at Comrade Li Er and the ministers at the post, and saw that they were listening to his speech carefully, so he continued: "First of all, the training of the army, the boy thinks that there should be changes. In addition to the usual tactical training, there should be some changes. Conduct quality training for soldiers, such as those subjects that I train soldiers. For soldiers, these subjects can firstly exercise soldiers’ bodies, and also train their will. Let soldiers in the army improve their mental outlook, physique, and movements. It is qualitatively different from ordinary people. People can tell at a glance that he is a soldier and a warrior who defends his home and country. Thus, the common people have a kind of respect and yearning for the army, which is also conducive to the need for wartime conscription. "

As soon as these words were finished, the ministers present began to discuss.Wang Ke listened carefully, and he was sure of what he said, and no one disagreed with his opinion.

Now Wang Ke was relieved, because what he was going to say next was unheard of by people in this era, and he moved it from the army of later generations.

In this era, it will be a new and new thing that is far ahead.If he was beaten back at the beginning now, it would be better for him not to say anything later.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji was the representative of civil servants, and Li Jing was the representative of military generals. The two stood up at the same time, representing civil servants and military generals, and said to Comrade Li Er that after everyone's discussion, what Wang Ke said was true. I think it is feasible and necessary, and it can be implemented in the whole guard army and the army of the whole Tang Dynasty.
