Chapter 169: Famous Men Out of Tigers
"Sage, Yang Xianggong wept at the foot of the mountain and begged to see ......"
Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, was silent, but the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen couldn't wait to ask.
In fact, Cheng Yuanzhen's question was by no means a good intention, Yang Guozhong's so-called loss of face for the Son of Heaven today, when he had an advantage in all aspects, he actually became a prisoner of the "rebels" in an absolutely disadvantaged position in a military exercise, how incompetent it would be to be so stupid.
"I can't see him, let him wait at the bottom of the mountain!"
Cheng Yuanzhen responded to the promise, but did not move his body, but showed a rather hesitant look.
"Do you want to resist the decree?"
Li Longji's face sank, he has always respected the ministers of the DPRK and China, and rarely gives them color, but these eunuchs and servants are very different, and he is angry when he sees Cheng Yuanzhen's hesitant appearance.
Yang Guozhong has not yet entered the political affairs hall, so the forbidden eunuchs are so jealous, if he returns to the political affairs hall, will he have to cover half the sky with one hand? Although Li Longji is old, he still spares no effort to control the details of power, and in this regard, not to mention a single relative, even a father and son have no room for relaxation.
However, Cheng Yuanzhen said hesitantly: "Yang Xianggong, Yang Xianggong thought that Qin Zhonglang was going to make trouble, and the saint was coerced, so he was looking for death and life......"
"What's the Qin Jin rebellion?"
Li Longji laughed angrily, and said in his heart that Yang Guozhong was commendable, but he was a stupid donkey that made people laugh.
"Let him come up!"
Cheng Yuanzhen was scolded by the Son of Heaven because he was implicated by Yang Guozhong, so he looked for an opportunity to show Yang Guozhong's ugliness in front of the Son of Heaven. But I never expected that the anger of the Son of Heaven would disappear when he was talking, and he wanted Yang Guozhong to come up the mountain.
However, this time Cheng Yuanzhen didn't dare to hesitate anymore, although he regretted sucking his mouth in his heart, hating himself for drawing snakes, and adding more to the last sentence, but it was too late, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
After the anger dissipated, Li Longji's interest was also wiped out by the bad news that came one after another. After a while, he remembered Pei Jing, who "captured" Yang Guozhong.
"The one who found Yang Guozhong was also under Qin Jin?"
"Back to the saint, what Cheng Yuanzhen said just now is a person named Pei Jing!"
"Let this Pei Jing also come up, I want to see it!"
At the mention of the rising star, Li Longji's complexion softened a little, and he remembered that today's martial arts exercise was not completely useless, at least he found a group of young talents, and he also knew what virtue Chang'an's 16th Guards had become rotten.
If it weren't for Qin Jin's proposal to train the new army, which prompted Yang Guozhong to have the heart to win, there would be no today's martial arts, no today's martial arts, and he would still be immersed in the confidence of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts and the Tang Forbidden Army.
It is true that this kind of self-confidence has been greatly reduced by Feng Changqing's fiasco in Luoyang, but he is still deceiving himself like a blindeye, and he refuses to face the problem squarely. Although this question is cruelly creepy and unbelievable, it finally makes people wake up from their groggy and prosperous dreams.
Thinking of this, Li Longji suddenly sweated like pulp, as if he had been awakened by a nightmare in the Hu bed before.
"Pei Jing, the former commander of the Chenshen Wu Army, knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
A loud voice pulled him back from his stupor. His gaze swept to the chief general who was half-kneeling on one knee, who was also a young man, about the same age as Lu Qi.
"Does the right guard general Pei Xingjian have anything to do with you?"
Whether the surname Pei or the surname is Lu, these surnames have produced many famous ministers and generals since the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that Li Longji has this question. Pei Xingjian is the son of Pei Renji, the former secretary of the Sui Rite Department, and he himself has made outstanding achievements and shocked the Western Regions. His son Pei Guangting was the prime minister personally elected by Li Longji in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
"The Great General of the Right Guard is the great-ancestor of the minister!"
At this time, Gao Lishi came up at the right time and whispered: "The slave has some impression that this Pei Jing should be the son of Pei Zhen, the middle of the city." ”
Li Longji nodded secretly, that's right, the tiger father has no dogs, and the Pei family has been able to produce people since the time of Gaozu Taizong, but in Pei Zhi's generation, some of them are unknown, but they didn't expect Pei Zhi to give birth to a good son.
It's a pity that Pei Zhi is not blessed to see his son Dragon Jing and Tiger today, because he died as early as the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan.
"Good ......"
Li Longji is three or four good in a row, he is very satisfied with Lu Qi and Pei Jing, these two people are famous families, and their abilities are extraordinary, it is obvious that they are some billets who will be able to enter the phase in the future, if they have a good experience over time, they may not be able to become the ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Longji already had a premonition that the Tang Dynasty might begin to decline in a hundred years. He himself is old and frail, and it is difficult to revive the ambitions of the past, so he can only pin his hopes on future generations.
It's a pity that Li Longji asked himself that he might not be able to see that day, it is rare for people to live for seventy years, he has lived in this world for more than seventy years, and it is rare to have such a long-lived old man in the world. He had once been proud of his longevity, which was now a irony and a curse for him.
At the moment when he just lost his mind, Li Longji even flashed a ridiculous and ridiculous thought in his mind. If he drove to the west in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, perhaps his life would have ended with a brilliant posture in the history books.
And now...... The situation in the world was so rotten that Li Longji couldn't help but be stunned again, and his eyes were already covered with a layer of gloom.
"Any position in the Shenwu Army?"
Li Longji's voice was very small, almost unconscious, and Pei Jing couldn't hear it clearly, so he hesitated and didn't dare to answer immediately.
And Gao Lishi was on Li Longji's side, so he naturally heard Li Longji's whispers clearly, and hurriedly reminded Pei Jing.
"What does the saint ask you about, what is your position in the Shenwu Army?"
"Returning to the saint, the minister leads the former army commander with a foot cadet captain in the Shenwu Army!"
is also the chief general of the first army, Li Longji wants to know what Qin Jin has to do to be able to select these outstanding people from a group of family members.
For the children of the family in Chang'an City, although Li Longji is in the midst of many palace bans, he also knows a little. The vast majority of them have long lost the character of their fathers and ancestors, and only rely on their innate status and countless wealth to fight cocks and lackeys in the street markets all day long, and go in and out of the places of the fence...... In addition, there are more people who have been favored by their fathers and ancestors, and they have been promoted step by step in the court according to their qualifications, and they have been mediocre all their lives.
People like Lu Qi and Pei Jing are actually very rare.
"Let's go, go back to the palace!"
After all, today is more to lose than to gain, and under the lack of interest, Li Longji didn't even have the patience to wait for the results of today's military exercise, in fact, there was no need to wait, the commanders of two of the three Tang armies had already been taken by the Shenwu Army even to the commander's banner, and the "Tang Army" had actually lost a long time ago.
"At present, the situation in the martial arts field is still chaotic, slave maid, slave maid thinks, it is better to wait for Gao Xianggong and Zhonglang to come to the mountain to hand in the order, and it is not too late to return to the palace!"
Gao Lishi's reminder made Li Longji suddenly wake up, seeing that the sun was about to set, but there were still tens of thousands of Tang troops after the collapse of the mountain, and the situation of the two army generals was also unknown, although this reminder seemed to be a little too unfounded, but it was also this sensitivity that made him launch two coups in a row from the position of the king of Linzi, and became the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji paced a few steps a little anxiously, and then returned to the Hu bed and sat down.
"Spread the decree, Gao Xianzhi and Qin Jin immediately stop performing martial arts and come to the mountains to see me!"
The eunuch who had his inner chamberlain took the order and left, and Li Longji looked at the officials sitting on the side, and the officials who could appear here were all registered with Li Longji, either dignitaries or high-ranking officials.
After a whole day of sitting and sitting, these people did not eat a drop of water, did not eat a grain of rice, and were already hungry and exhausted. When they heard that Li Longji was going back to the palace, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when they saw that Li Longji was not leaving, they even returned to Hu Bed to give command, and let Gao Xianzhi and Qin Jin come up to meet them, so they were all very disappointed.
However, Li Longji didn't have the heart to speculate on the thoughts of these courtiers at this moment, and there was already a trace of apprehension in his heart. The rebels have always been the source of chaos, and there are tens of thousands of these people, although they are all subordinates of Yang Guozhong and Chen Xuanli, but now that they have lost their restraints, they can fight the tigers and leopards out of the cage, and God knows if they will bite back.
Only when the commanders and generals of various armies gathered here could Li Longji feel a little relieved.
At this moment, Li Longji regretted that he was hot-headed for a moment and agreed to Li Longji's idea of performing martial arts.
If he hadn't listened to Yang Guozhong's words, why would he have fallen into such an embarrassing situation at this moment?
Seeing that the sun on the horizon had become round and red, half of it had disappeared below the horizon, and it would not take half an hour for the sky to completely darken, but Li Longji didn't know how long it would take.
"Saint, saint!"
Just when the atmosphere on the mountain was difficult and awkward, a heart-rending cry broke the unsettling atmosphere. And the owner of the voice is Jiannan, Longyoujiedu envoy Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong trotted in front of Li Longji, bowed his head at his feet, and refused to stand up straight for a long time, until he raised his head, he was already in tears.
"Minister, minister thought he would never see the saint again......"
Until this time, Yang Guozhong was still suspicious, thinking that Qin Jin had placed the Son of Heaven under house arrest for the rebellion, but looking at the situation in front of him, the top of the mountain was full of Yulinwei's soldiers, so he was a little relieved.
Li Longji scolded.
"And the face to see me? The 50,000 army I handed over to you was wiped out in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye?"
The 50,000 new army is naturally a false finger, in fact, the number should be around 30,000, but even if it is 30,000, they have become defeated soldiers.
