The magnitude of Yang Guozhong's changes made Li Longji a little incredulous, is this still the same Yang Guozhong as before? Li Longji looked Yang Guozhong up and down for a long time, and then he was convinced that what Yang Guozhong said just now should be from the bottom of his heart.

What he needs now is a prime minister who can take care of the overall situation, although Wei Jiansu is very upright, but after all, he is too feminine and lacks courage, so he is not a candidate for prime minister.

Unexpectedly, when Li Longji had a headache about the choice of the prime minister, Yang Guozhong's change just made his mind lively again.

"What Yang Qing said, I am very relieved. The right leading guard must be the absolute elite training of a garrison division, and there must not be the slightest sloppiness. And that 'method of thinking' I also think is good, but it can be widely implemented in the Sixteenth Guard. ”

Li Longji paused for a moment, and then continued: "Since the abolition of the government military system, the sixteen guards have broken off the soldiers, and most of them are only empty shelves, even if there are individual guards who still have soldiers, they are all some market gangsters, once the Beijing division is in trouble, they have become deaf ears. ”

These are his heartfelt words, and they are also the lessons learned after the pain of the skin. Until An Lushan rebelled, the east of the moon was lost, and then Cui Qianyou led the army to Tongguan, and the soldiers pointed directly at Guanzhong.

None of the Sixteen Guards could be brought up to be useful. In the end, it was Gao Xianzhi who recruited prisoners and peddlers and pawns, and it was only then that he could gather 100,000 horses, known as 200,000, to go out of Tongguan to fight the rebels.

However, since Feng Changqing's fiasco from Luoyang, the morale and self-confidence of the Tang army have plummeted, and even been beaten to the bottom, and even Gao Xianzhi, who has the merit of destroying the country in the Western Regions, has to avoid his troops.

During this period, Li Longji's ears did not stop the rumors, what is about to run out, and words such as the northland should be xing, which reached his ears, making him both angry and afraid. In fact, not only the officials and the people, but even he, the son of the Tang Dynasty, also believes in the way of luck and heaven.

When luck is there, you are invincible, and you can dominate the world. However, if his luck is not there, or he is on the opposite side of himself, then he will face a terrible situation of defeat after defeat.

Before the Qin and Jin dynasties burned down the mountain, the Tang army had been defeated again and again in the confrontation with the An Lushan rebels, losing their divisions and losing their territory. Li Longji was tormented by fear and remorse all the time in his heart, for fear that this successive fiascos would be a sign that his anger was about to run out.

However, a big victory over the burning of Kunshan made Li Longji regain his former self-confidence. This great victory fully proves that the luck of the Li Tang Dynasty is still there, and An Lushan can be active for a while, but it may not be able to be proud for a long time.

Because of this, Li Longji's psychological burden was greatly reduced when dealing with the court struggle.

From Yang Guozhong's dismissal of the prime minister, to the crown prince and Wen state affairs, to the reactivation of Gao Xianzhi, these are all his means to prevent the family from becoming dominant, and to prevent problems before they happen.

is like Ge Shuhan, Li Longji not only reuses him, but also suspects him all the time and guards against him.

Ge Shuhan's excesses in Tongguan have completely made Li Longji jealous, and he is even doubting whether the decision to appoint Ge Shuhan as Shangshu's left servant and lead the counterinsurgency generalissimo Ma was done right or wrong.

At this time, Yang Guozhong unexpectedly changed and awakened, which cannot but be said that God and luck were favoring him. Li Longji had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he was even already thinking about finding a suitable time to push him into the political hall again.

However, although the prime minister is respectful and powerful, in troubled times, he is not as powerful as the military.

Li Longji's mind has been wandering between being able and pro, although Ge Shuhan can, he is unpredictable. Yang Guozhong is mediocre, but he is a person who is both close and trusting, if it is not forced by the situation, how can he be willing to dismiss such a prime minister who is good at speculating on his intentions?

"The saint does not need to worry, the sixteen guards have become an empty shelf, and then recruit the children of good families to enrich the army. I have hundreds of thousands of household registrations and millions of people in Guanzhong, so why worry that the Sixteen Guards can't restore the old view of Taizong?"

Yang Guozhong's words made Li Longji's mind move. Since the abolition of the government military system at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been replaced by border troops from all over the country, and these border troops have been recruited from the local area, which has virtually saved a lot of expenses for the imperial court. Under Li Longji's instructions, the Jiedu envoys in the border towns also had the power to raise some of their own funds, which further saved the imperial court.

But there is an advantage and a disadvantage in everything, Li Longji only saw that the imperial court was overstretched in terms of revenue and expenditure, so he used various expedient measures to fill the hole, but how could he have thought that it was this trick of one plan after another, which made the local festival envoys sit down one after another, and even the things that violated the yang and yin of the court also happened.

Compared with the slippery An Lushan, it was Gao Xianzhi who caused Li Longji's suspicion earlier. Gao Xianzhi actually openly launched a war of annihilation against the small countries in the Western Regions before obtaining the authorization of the imperial court. Therefore, it was inevitable that this person would not be able to sit in Anxiwei for a long time, so he found an excuse and recalled him to Chang'an on the grounds of greed for money.

But he didn't expect that the one who really had the ambition of a wolf son was An Lushan, who he once loved very much.

These thoughts came to his mind, and Li Longji was also suddenly alert, strong branches and weak stems will inevitably overwhelm the main trunk and be crushed by the branches and leaves. Therefore, it is already an urgent matter to do it.

"Is there a strategy for recruiting good sons to enrich the Sixteenth Guards?"

The so-called conscription of the Liangjia son of Guanzhong to enrich the Sixteenth Guards was originally just Yang Guozhong's impromptu words, where did he have any mature strategy. However, he was always a little anxious, and said: "The minister also had a sudden thought, if the saint thinks it is feasible, after the minister returns, he will carefully consider the method of recruitment, and then ask the saint to cut it!"

Li Longji nodded, and secretly praised it, not to lie, to be cautious, indeed much calmer than before. It seems that the impact of this strike on Yang Guozhong is not profound.

"Okay, go back and think about it carefully, work out a few practical plans, and then report it to me. ”

At this time, the palace had already become the monarch of Li Longji and Yang Guozhong. Although Bian Lingcheng boasted of being a military officer, he also had a certain status in the court because of Anxi's experience in supervising the army. But he is still a eunuch after all, and if he is a eunuch, he must have the appearance of a eunuch and know the number of rites. For example, in the current situation, whenever there is a prime minister or a border general and the Son of Heaven to ask the right question, if there is a difference in words, it is too comfortable to have a head on the idle item.

As for Cheng Yuanzhen, his status in the forbidden is far inferior to Bian Lingcheng, and he is not qualified to point fingers in such matters. In normal times, he didn't even have the qualifications to stand aside, but now that the Son of Heaven didn't order him to go down, he stood aside tremblingly.

Just listening to the prime minister and the Son of Heaven talking about state affairs is not a comfortable good thing in the ears of these eunuchs. Cheng Yuanzhen was uncomfortable, he couldn't wait to find a gap to get out, and he didn't want to listen to these confidential things.

In case one day the discussion in the temple leaks out, and unfortunately is known by the Son of Heaven, he with the least qualifications will inevitably become the first target of the Son of Heaven's suspicion. And then will there be any good fruit of him to eat?

It's a pity that the Son of Heaven seems to have forgotten his existence, and only cares about talking to Yang Guozhong more and more. It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the candles lit in the hall that the Son of Heaven seemed to show a tired look, Yang Guozhong confessed his guilt and retired, and Cheng Yuanzhen and Bian Lingcheng also retired.

"Bian Lingcheng, you stay!"

Bian Lingcheng's body shook when he heard this, but Cheng Yuanzhen, who bowed and withdrew, felt pantothenic acid in his chest, and the Son of Heaven stayed, which was naturally a more credible performance, but it was a pity that it was aimed at Bian Lingcheng instead of himself.

Bian Lingcheng was worried, "The slave is here!"

"Tomorrow you will go to Rentongguan, there are some things I can give you the right to arbitrary!...... understand"

After returning to the Zhong Mansion, Bian Lingcheng's frustration caused by the previous failure to attack Qin Jin was swept away, and the advice of the Son of Heaven in the Daming Palace was undoubtedly a sword of the Son of Heaven in his opinion, although it had no substantive power, but it was much bigger than when he was in Gao Xianzhi's army.

At the same time, Bian Lingcheng also sympathized with this Ge Shuhan, who was a person who had suffered a stroke and was in danger, but he was secretly used by others, and before the achievement of the size was established, he was first suspicious of the Son of Heaven. He was already very sure that Ge Shuhan and his people would not end well, and when he arrived at Tongguan, he had to keep a distance from him in everything, and if he could seize the opportunity to take a bite, he would not be merciful.

Although he has this understanding, he is still quite jealous of Ge Shuhan, after all, this person is not as good as Gao Xianzhi, he can handle it at will, and if he accidentally follows in the footsteps of Tian Jianye, he will lose a lot.

Bian Lingcheng thought about it again, he was the prisoner of the Son of Heaven, how could Ge Shuhan dare to help him?

Before leaving, there is another person, Bian Lingcheng, who must be arranged. That is Fan Changming, who has been looking for trouble with Qin Jin, and that Jingyou.

Fan Changming's stay in Chang'an was definitely an unstable factor, so he decided to take him with him when he left, and this person looked a little anxious, maybe there was something to use.

As for Jingyou, he wouldn't let it go so easily. As Jingyou's godfather, Bian Lingcheng knows this person too well, and this person's biggest weakness is his cousin who works as an errand in the weapons prison.

Bian Lingcheng recruited his henchmen and ordered him to secretly arrest Jingyou's cousin Jinghu. However, the people sent there were in the ordnance prison and his home in a row, until they found the relevant people to find out the details, and learned that the people from Jinghu's hometown said that there was an urgent matter, and they had left Chang'an and returned to their hometowns the day before yesterday.

After learning the news, Bian Lingcheng was even more suspicious of Jingyou, so it was better to open the skylight and say something bright, and dispose of this thing inside and outside first.

But after the anger subsided, he thought of Fan Changming's suggestion again, and he could use Jingyou to plan it, just bury a dark pile, maybe there will be miraculous results in the future!
