Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he couldn't speak, and almost wanted to hit someone with his hands.

Hou Junji was not to be outdone. In the early years, he called himself brave, but he was not vain at all, so he glared back immediately, making the scene tense.

Fortunately, Li Shimin stopped them in time: "Okay, do you still want to stage a full martial arts in front of me?"

Seeing that his favorite generals were arguing about Li You, Li Shimin couldn't help pinching his eyebrows with a headache.

Although Cheng Yaojin didn't act rashly anymore, he still stared at Hou Junji angrily. Li Jing and the others also frowned. Why didn't they realize that Hou Junji was such a villain?

"Yang Jie accepts the kindness of all the adults."

At this moment, Li You's light words were even more useful than Li Shimin's reprimands, causing Cheng Yaojin and the others to withdraw their gazes.

"But……"

Li Jing hesitated, since straightforward military men like them couldn't see the scene where the villain succeeded and the hero was wronged.

"This is my obligation. At this time, the father ordered to go to the fief, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Li You said calmly, he had already deduced from the scene just now that it is useless to talk too much in this situation, but a waste of time.

Because Li Shimin chose to announce his order in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was in the form of the following edict rather than the form of discussion, then Li Shimin must have already decided this matter in his heart.

What Li You has to do now is to think about whether he can seek any benefits for himself from this incident!

"Father, my son has a request before leaving."

Li You immediately opened his mouth and said, the audience was silent, and they all looked at Li You.

"Hmph, have you finally accepted your fate..." Hou Junji also showed a triumphant smile upon seeing this.

"Let's talk, as long as it's not too much, I can agree."

Li Shimin pondered and said, in fact, he was very sorry for Li You in his heart, so Li You's request now makes Li Shimin feel better.

Li You said slowly: "This is a long way to go, and my son may be in danger. I hope that the emperor will allow him to recruit guards."

The prince's so-called guards are actually equivalent to the prince's private soldiers.

Originally, among the princes, except for the six leaders of the East Palace led by the prince, the rest of the princes had no military power, but nothing was absolute. Li You believed that this time was the best time to legally request private soldiers!

As long as there are private soldiers, then the iron weapons and armors that Li You want to build will also have their place. Steel, which is far more rigid than this era, can definitely arm Li You's private soldiers into an invincible army!

"Want to recruit guards..."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and he also understood what Li You meant, which was equivalent to asking him to decree that Li You could legally own a certain number of private soldiers.

However, this is obviously nothing compared to sending the accomplished Li You to the fief, Li Shimin immediately nodded and said, "I will then decree that you are free to choose a regiment in the army, as you escort."

"Actually let His Royal Highness Chu King choose directly from the army?!"

There were many ministers around when they heard the words, and suddenly there was an uproar. This is equivalent to Li Shimin opening a big back door for Li You. Instead of letting Li You recruit guards on his own, he can choose directly from the well-trained Tang army!

Li You also felt the kindness of Li Shimin. If nothing else, Li Shimin's regiment's establishment allowed it to have a great way.

The current Tang Dynasty is based on the military system as the main body of the army. The current Fubingjunfu has not changed its name to Zhechongfu. It is roughly divided into upper, middle and lower grades. , is the largest establishment of the government soldiers.

The second largest organization is a group. Generally speaking, a group has 200 people, but some groups have 300 people, which is already an excess number.

But since Li Shimin didn't say it clearly, then Li You chose a group based on the standard of 200 people, or selected a group based on the standard of 300 people. Isn't that Li You's own decision?

……

"Then the King of Chu will come down and select people from our army! All of them are first-class heroes under my command, and they can definitely protect His Royal Highness!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard it, he had already shouted out first. He felt a little guilty for not being able to help Li You originally.

Li Jing also nodded kindly: "If your Highness goes to General Qin's or General Chai's command to pick someone, they will surely not refuse."

I didn't expect these famous generals to be so active, all the ministers and officials secretly clicked their tongues, but Li You shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but since the father has given me permission to choose from the Tang army..."

Li You's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked at Hou Junji: "Then this king still thinks it is better to choose among the twelve guards under Lord Hou's command!"

Since Li You wants to choose his own private guard, he must choose the best person.And if all 300 of the most powerful people in the army were selected, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the generals. Li You didn't want to go to war with them.

So who is the best candidate for the remaining pit, do you still need to ask?

That's right, Li You knows his ranking scroll, it's time to show off his power!

Chapter 144 The Supreme Emperor's photo is correct!

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Minister of War, just like the Minister of War in the Ming Dynasty, was very powerful.

Therefore, Hou Junji is not only the minister of military affairs, but also the general who leads the troops.

The Twelve Guards also have another name corresponding to the Beiya Imperial Army, which is called the Nanya Imperial Army. and the generals.

Among them, the left and right guards both lead 60 military palaces, and the other guards command 40 to 50 military palaces, so the total number is an astonishing [-] people!

This base is undoubtedly much larger than that of Cheng Yaojin and the others, and it is more likely to produce talents. There is no doubt that it is the best place for Li You's "[-]" ranking scroll!

"Okay, if His Royal Highness wants to go to the Twelve Guards to pick someone, then the minister will naturally welcome it with both hands."

Hearing Li You's words, Hou Junji sneered instead, his smile full of disdain.

What a scheming person he was, he immediately understood that taking [-] people from his command was Li You's revenge against him.
