Footsteps sounded outside the door, the eunuch and the palace maid knelt for a large part, and Fang Xuanling also knelt facing the door, I had no choice but to kneel, straighten up like eating Japanese food, and look at the door with a blank eye.

Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe, but he didn't wear a crown, so he walked in casually with a smile on his face, and when he saw my strange posture, he couldn't help but look at me more and said, "This is the person introduced by Shubao, right?" ”

I arched my hand up and said, "It's me." ”

Fang Xuanling pulled me next to me and whispered, "Don't look up." ”

Why don't you look up and shoot "Enemy of the People"?

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "I haven't performed at the Ministry of Rites yet, have you?" Okay, let's all go flat. ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at me reproachfully, and then got up, in fact, I understand, when the emperor doesn't let you look up, you can't take the initiative to look at others, otherwise people can understand that you have the intention of stabbing the saint, not to mention ordinary people, even if the ministers don't have a wat board to block their vision on the Golden Palace? It can be seen that the emperor can't read casually, it's like reading texts when we were in elementary school, you want to see where the teacher is, the teacher will slap the table and say, "Read, what do you see me doing?" "Because he also understands that you don't necessarily have any good intentions when you see him, eighty percent of them want to steal a bubble gum or something-

I stood up, secretly patted the dirt on my knees, and waited for you to enter the urn. Li Shimin probably hadn't seen such a lovely person as me for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Who is it?" As he spoke, he sat down and picked up his teacup. I said indiscriminately: "The Tang Dongtu clan." ”

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and smiled. It's a little bit of a joke. He slowly opened the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, took a sip and said, "How did you and Yi Guogong meet?" ”

I stared intently at the tea in his hand, and said casually, "Yiguo Gong is in our house now." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin suddenly scratched his head and said, "Why do I look at you familiarly?" As he spoke, he subconsciously took a big sip of water.

I sat down in my chair relaxedly: "Familiar, didn't you just come out of our house?" ”

Fang Xuanling exclaimed: "Don't be presumptuous. ”

Stunned, Li Shimin put down the teacup and smiled: "Xiaoqiang." Why are you kid here? ”

I laughed and said, "Brother Li, aren't you looking forward to me coming—is the princess of the Tang Dynasty ready for me?" ”

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "This... Your Majesty, do you know each other? ”

Looking at the prime minister who had taken a back seat and didn't know it, Li Shimin and I both laughed, and Li Shimin said: "Don't just know, this is still the prime minister of my own fief." ”

Fang Xuanling said palely: "What about me? ”

I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Master Fang, I won't stay long, I'll leave immediately." ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at me gratefully, wiping her sweat vigorously.

Li Shimin asked me, "Where are you going?" ”

I grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Li." I beg you to come. Li Shimin smiled, and Niu B said: "In the past, I could only seal you an empty title, but now it is not what it used to be, as long as it is in the Tang Dynasty, just say something." ”

I smiled and said, "This matter may have to be considered outside the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin said confidently: "Overseas, our Datang also has a certain influence." ”

I said directly, "You can lend me 500,000 soldiers." ”

… Half an hour later, Li Shimin, who had figured out the situation, said, "What do you mean?" Is it for our Tang Dynasty troops to help the Song Dynasty people fight? ”

I said, "It's not to help the Song Dynasty, it's to help me." ”

Li Shimin paced back and forth: "But Xiaoqiang, you must know that my standing army in Datang is only about 500,000, and it is not even enough for 500,000." ”

I was surprised, "No, so little?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Now that I have not been established for a long time, it is the time to recuperate, the army should not be too much, many soldiers also have to take care of farming, lend you 500,000, what if there is a difficulty at the border?" ”

I put a phone on the table and said, "That's easy." When the time comes, you call me, you can't miss anything about you, I will take the Qin Dynasty and Xiang Yu's soldiers to cheer you first, plus the 20,000 people in Liangshan, there are almost 1 million. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said, "Is this true? ”

"Do I dare to lie to the emperor? You can rest assured, this phone is free of monthly rent, as long as there is a telemeter for 100 years, I can call 24 hours a day, there is our server on Liangshan, and the signal is absolutely full..."It's a waste that I don't sell my mobile phone!"

Li Shimin thought for a while. Resolutely said: "Okay, then I will rest assured and boldly lend you 500,000 people, and you don't forget your promise." ”

I could see that Li Shimin didn't want to borrow it from me, but under my reciprocal conditions, I was moved. It's a bit not enough buddy though. But I have to admit that he is a good leader, and there are no permanent friends and no eternal enemies in this world. There is only eternal interest, whether it is for his own people or for his own rule, anyway, he puts the great cause of the country first.

Li Shimin nodded his forehead and said: "There is one more thing, 500,000 people is not a small number, who are you going to let lead the army, if you can't list a suitable candidate, I can't agree." ”

I laughed and said, "Brother Li, you forgot, Second Brother Qin and they are still with me." ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "That's no problem, I'll wait for your news in three days, but I can only bring 1 day's rations." ”

Stingy, how did I meet such an emperor? However, I calculated that the road from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty was very close, and the 10-day ration meant that I had to solve the problem within 10 days after they arrived, which should be enough.

I got up and said, "That's it, I have to go to Lao Zhao quickly." ”

"Old Zhao?"

"Zhao Kuangyin."

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "Oh." Say hello to him for me and welcome him as a guest. ”

I frowned and said, "I haven't figured out how to give him food yet." ”

Li Shimin said: "If you can sneak into the palace, it will be easy to do, we emperors usually take a nap, I talked to Lao Zhao, and he is the same." You can take this opportunity to stuff him directly in his mouth. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll go." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I'm inconvenient now, just let Xuan Ling send it on my behalf, Xiaoqiang won't blame Brother Li, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling saw the two of us talking nonsense so unscrupulously, his eyes were already straight, and only then did he suddenly come back to his senses, and led the way in front of him in a restrained manner: "Lord Xiao, please." ”

When I came out, I saw Fang Xuanling's face full of unnaturalness, pulled his arm and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, the emperor personally named me prime minister, and everything is a joke we made casually." Don't take it to heart, I'm an illiterate 255, if the emperor can really take a fancy to me, then he won't be Li Shimin. ”

Fang Xuanling shuddered - then Li Shimin's name can't be shouted indiscriminately. But he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard me say this, in fact, he also saw that I was not the material to be a prime minister, and I finally put the heart of the old house in my stomach as soon as I handed over the real house, and his expression eased a lot, and he said comfortably: "Where did Lord Xiao come from." ”

I asked him quietly: "Just now the emperor said that there are only 500,000 standing reserves in the country. Really? ”

Fang Xuanling scratched his head and said: "It depends on how you say it, it is true to say that the standing reserve is 500,000..."

I heard what he said, and hurriedly said: "With the reserves, it's much more than that, right?" ”

"Hehe, Reserve, this name sounds fresh, not bad, plus Reserve, that's more."

"How many?"

"The approximate constant is to maintain around 2 million people." Fang Xuanling saw that I didn't pose any threat to him, and he was Li Shimin's iron buddy, so he didn't have any scruples when he spoke.

I gasped and said, "2 million? What about combat effectiveness? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "How do you say it." You can say that these 2 million people are standing troops, or you can say that the 500,000 people who are serving are reserve forces on duty. ”

This Li Shimin has left a big hand!

I smiled and said, "Lord Fang, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Fang Xuanling said firmly: "As long as Xuanling can help, I will do my best." ”

"You must be able to help, didn't the emperor promise to lend me 500,000, you tell him, add me an extra 100,000 200,000 land."

"It's... It's not easy. ”

I patted him on the shoulder: "The emperor values you so much." Why don't you just make up a random excuse? Seeing that he was still hesitating, I said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If you don't help me with this, I won't leave, I have to experience how big an official the prime minister is..."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "200,000 don't dare to say it." 100,000 will be given by all means. "Talking mysteriously." One is the most elite unit of our Datang. ”

I was satisfied, "Well, then I'm leaving." Waiting for you - 600,000. ”

I got in the car and sighed first, how do I think I feel like an illegal fundraiser, rolling up a bag and driving a broken car to swindle around.

With this 600,000, my heart is a little more solid, and the great illegal fund-raising business has to continue, the next stop, Song Chu, Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to borrow soldiers, but the most headache for me is to give your majesty food, borrowing soldiers, it is great not to lend it, but it is theoretically more difficult to let them eat than to assassinate them.

Fortunately, there was a letter of introduction from the second brother of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin in the Song Dynasty gave me a clue, that is, Zhao Kuangyin would take a nap between 2 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon every day... As soon as the car stopped, I looked up and saw the magnificent palace gate, which is good, and there is no need to find someone to lead the way.

I've been in the palace quite a bit, and I subconsciously knew what was going to happen - and sure enough, a group of guards shouted in unison, and then rushed at me with their weapons in their mouths, "There are assassins!" ”

I wondered why the emperors were so unhospitable, as if they had to make their homes sterile, and the assassins were also guests.

I turned my heart on it, and I broke out of the car door. Scolded: "What are you shouting? ”

When the guards saw me, they were shocked, and they knelt down in unison, and shouted, "Your Majesty! ”

I put my hands behind my back and said with satisfaction: "Well, Nian'er and others will not be guilty of being loyal to their duties." Get up. ”

The guards got up from the ground, bowed their heads and hands one by one, and did not dare to come out, I touched my face, my mouth moved, and I walked in in a grand manner—the gum that changed my face was so useful! That's the only way I can think of in desperation.

As soon as I left the sight of the guards, I went crazy, where can I find Zhao Kuangyin in such a big palace? Looking up at the sky, it was the middle of the afternoon, and there was no chance to be missed. I ran away, and after the Golden Palace, I arrived at the living area, facing a row of palace maids walking in a hurry, and when I saw me, I hurriedly knelt down, and I didn't care about them, and the wind passed through, and two little eunuchs came over the head. Naturally, I didn't say a word, and I bowed my head... I was like a sickle with a sharp knife, and everyone bowed down everywhere I passed, but Zhao Kuangyin still had no clue where he was, and the taste of chewing gum in his mouth had begun to fade, so I suddenly patted my head: Silly X, in this palace, except for me, don't you know where Zhao Kuangyin is?

There was a little palace maid who just saw me like a convulsion, and she was so frightened that she quickly slipped out of the ground, and I grabbed her and said, "Don't be busy kneeling yet." Let me ask you, Zhao..."The little palace maid probably just entered the palace, and she was not familiar with the etiquette, and when she heard the emperor's question, she raised her head and stared at me with big eyes without blinking, but fortunately, I was clever when I spoke, and hurriedly changed her words: "I ask you, where do I usually sleep?" ”

The little palace maid thought that this was the emperor checking her knowledge, and said unequivocally: "Cuiwei Pavilion." ”

I pulled her and ran: "Take me quickly!" ”

The little palace maid stood still, and I hurriedly said, "Do you dare to resist the order?" ”

The little palace maid said timidly: "Don't dare, but the emperor... You're going the other way around. ”

"Uh... I'm testing you. Lead the way ahead. ”

So the little palace maid was in front, I followed behind, along the way I saw her small waist twisted, her demeanor is very beautiful, but she can't twist three meters away for most of the day. I'm almost chewing out the tire of this gum. I shouted, "Use the run!" ”

When the little girl heard me say this, she jumped out more than 20 meters away with a "whoosh". It's hard to believe that she was still wearing embroidered shoes, and she almost threw me off, which was definitely faster than Jones who had taken the forbidden clothes. I shouted again, "Slow down and run..."

Finally came to the door of Cuiwei Pavilion smoothly, the little palace maid returned to the weak and couldn't help the wind and stood obediently aside, I gasped for a while, and there seemed to be a slight snoring inside, Zhao Kuangyin should still be taking a nap, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and patted the little palace maid on the top of her head and said: "Little ghost, isn't it bad, do you want to go home?" ”

The little palace maid said, "I..."

I said, "I have decided to give you freedom, so go home." ”

"Your Majesty..."

Ignoring the complicated expression of the little palace maid, I stepped into the back room, and at the same time felt a subtle change in my face, fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin and their family are big, and no one can find out about the two people who look the same, and I am blind if he wants to live in a single dormitory.

When I came in, I found that Lao Zhao's snoring was shocking, and his sturdy body was sleeping soundly, I took out a blue wolf and rushed to his bed, pinched his mouth and threw him in, Lao Zhao was choked and coughed a few times, and fell asleep again.

This emperor seems to be quite sleepless, I heard Li Shimin say that most of the people who do their business have to go to court early at four or five o'clock in the morning, and then the day's work must be carried out during the day, and the folds are made at night, and sometimes they go to the court again without sleeping, that is to say, 24 hours you have something to do as long as you are awake, so in history, there are fewer and more faint kings, and those who love to sleep and sleep generally can't do this job.

Zhao Kuangyin slept for a while, and when it was time, he sat up suddenly like an alarm clock, he saw that there was still a person sitting there, rubbed his face and looked at me, and said a little dreamily: "Xiaoqiang is here?" ”

"Ahh Here it comes. ”

He took a sip of water from the jade cup at the head of the bed, got out of bed, put on his shoes and said, "Let's go, go to Lao Li (Shimin) and Lao Zhu (Yuanzhang) to play chess." ”

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not Yucai, Lao Li and Lao Zhu have stuck to their posts." ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the silk brocade tent behind him and the dragon robe on his body, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Damn, this sleeper, dreaming in a dream." ”

"Brother Zhao, it's not a dream, you are the emperor again now." Zhao Kuangyin was sober for a long time, and then he patted his head and said, "Oh, I understand, you are looking for me!" ”

I laughed, "Finally woke up." ”

At this time, he heard a faint sobbing sound outside, and Zhao Kuangyin wondered, "What's wrong outside?" ”

I glanced at it and said, "Oh, it's a very fast little palace maid, because it was merit in bringing me to you, so I let her go home, I don't know how to cry-"

Zhao Kuangyin took another sip of water, and then said: "Can you not cry, you came in with a lot of hard work, and let you quit with a word." ”

Me: "..."
