Chapter Ninety-Five: On Paper
Although the Hundred Cavalry Division is secret, how could someone like Li Jing not guess their existence. In fact, almost every wise and martial emperor will secretly tinker with intelligence organizations.
And finding out the most suspicious one among the guards of the forbidden army is simply not too simple.
He found that almost every time he gave the prince a lesson, the guy would find a position to rush to the prince's side as quickly as possible. This is not intentional, but subconsciously, he will put the safety of the prince first.
Li Jing's letter arrived in Chang'an City from Weishui in less than half an hour.
Although the Hundred Cavalry Division is secretive, it itself has 100,000 emergency tokens similar to the Red Feather Urgency Messenger, and it can even run day and night when it encounters a switch, infinitely overdrawing the horsepower of the horses in the post house.
In the afternoon, it happened to be the time when the emperor could take a little leisure. Li Shimin, who had spare time, did not watch singing and dancing or anything, but shrank in the Liangyi Hall where the queen was and played chess with the queen.
"Feng Deyu didn't survive this winter, the imperial doctor said, if he can carry it until spring, he can still have a glimmer of life, as a result, alas."
Leaving a son, the queen said abruptly: "There are more old courtiers in your court." Fang Xuanling, these people, can still accompany you for a few years, but some old ministers of the Sui Dynasty will inevitably wither away. ”
Falling again, the emperor smiled and said: "This is a generation of new people replacing the old, not to mention these courtiers, after thirty or fifty years, I will also be replaced by Chengqian?" Baiqi Si secretly reported that the prince met Changsun Chong's hunting team in the Qinling Mountains, and in the crisis situation of not distinguishing between friend and foe, Li Jing was so anxious that he was sweating, but our prince actually stood straight, and also ordered the soldiers to calm down and avoid accidentally injuring friendly soldiers. Hehe, this courage is up to him! ”
The queen smiled dumbly: "Are you boasting?" However, you are also ruthless, and you really let Cheng Qian leave the palace and learn the art of war from Li Jing on the bank of the Weishui River. He is the crown prince, and he is destined to help you deal with the government in the future, are you willing to let him take command of the expedition? ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "This is really impossible, Cheng Qian obviously has this talent, otherwise Li Jing would not have chosen him as a disciple, in my opinion..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, the door of the Liangyi Hall was pushed open, and the forbidden soldiers, who had already unloaded their weapons, entered quickly, kneeling on one knee: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 urgent letter from the Hundred Cavalry Division." ”
As soon as she heard that it was a letter from the Hundred Horsemen, the queen put down the chess pieces in her hand and was about to retreat to the apse. Although she is the queen, she is very accurate in some things. As long as it is something outside the harem, unless the emperor takes the initiative to mention it to her, she will definitely not be curious.
Seeing that the queen was leaving, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and grabbed her: "Don't retreat, this letter should be about Cheng Qian." ”
"Bring it in."
Following the emperor's instructions, a eunuch came out of the corner, took the letter, and after groping for a while to make sure it was safe, he presented it to the emperor.
Hearing what the emperor said, the empress didn't leave, waiting to see what the letter said.
It's a letter, but the thickness is a bit unexpected.
After unpacking the paint, Li Shimin took out a thick stack of paper from the envelope.
Don't look at the first one, look at the last one first. After seeing that the payment was "Li Jing", Li Shimin showed a wicked smile, and then read the content of the letter seriously.
Since it was the prince's business, the queen no longer avoided suspicion, sat on the emperor's side, and watched with her husband.
The words on the letter are a little messy, and to be honest, this word is not at all like what Li Jing wrote. Although he is a military general, Li Jing writes as steadily and solemnly as Wenchen, whether it is a performance or a military newspaper. It's the first time Li Shimin has seen a font like today.
Turn to the second page, the third page, and especially the fourth page where you start your drawing record....
The more he flipped it, the more solemn Li Shimin's face became.
If the queen can still understand the words, then the picture is not her strong point.
Seeing the emperor's solemn face, the queen couldn't help but be curious: "Your Majesty, what is Li Jing painting?" But what does it have to do with Cheng Qian? ”
Li Shimin nodded, and then laughed: "Queen, you don't know, Li Jing used wood chips as Turkic soldiers, and Cheng Qian used stones as Tang soldiers, and practiced a battle, and as a result, Cheng Qian's gluttonous array made Li Jing surrender without a fight, hahahaha!" Well done boy! It's not once or twice that I've seen Li Jing unhappy! ”
Looking at the childish emperor, the queen couldn't cry or laugh.
Looking at the end of the letter again, the queen asked, "Your Majesty, what does Li Jing mean by talking on paper?" ”
After receiving the letters, Li Shimin explained: "The queen doesn't know that what Li Jing said about talking on paper originated from Zhao Kuo of Zhao during the Warring States Period. Zhao Kuo, who is familiar with military books, speaks loudly, and there is no one in Zhao Guo who is invincible. However, after he really went to the battlefield, he didn't know how to be flexible, he only knew how to copy the rigid routine, and was defeated by Bai Qi and walked on the Huangquan Road with hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhao State.
What Li Jing said about talking on paper is giving me advice. The prince is indeed talented in the battle array. This gluttonous array, even I couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while, which can be seen from this. But if you don't go to the battlefield, you don't know the actual situation, and sooner or later you will become an existence like Zhao Kuo. ”
The queen was horrified: "You mean, let Cheng Qian accompany the army?" ”
Li Shimin nodded.
Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson directly sang the opposite tune to him: "No, how old is Cheng Qian?" Eight years old, how can you be so ruthless that you let him join the army? He is the crown prince, and in the future, he will learn to be a monarch and a monarch, not to fight in all directions like you. Back then, you fought in many ways, do you know how tormented the concubine was in the house? Not! Now that our Datang Quartet is stable, the only situation that can send troops is probably only foreign enemies. But no matter which foreign enemy it is, it is impossible to win easily. You can't toss him like that! ”
Looking at the queen who stood up and was extremely excited, Li Shimin suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
After waving his hand to let the soldiers and eunuchs leave, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and hugged the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "You still don't understand what I mean, Cheng Qian is going to send troops, but I will only let him go out with Li Jing." What's more, the prince is in the army, and he definitely has no chance to go to the battlefield. Will I put such a good prince into battle?
Guanyin, you think too much. I only want to let Cheng Qian really see the battlefield, not let him go into battle. The reason why I agree with Li Jing's advice is because I don't want to bury Chengqian's talent. You are not a general, so I don't know how happy you are to see this outstanding seedling of Cheng Qian. Even if he didn't experience the battlefield firsthand, as long as he experienced it a few times, he wouldn't talk about it anymore. If he can leave a better art of war than Li Jing's Six Flower Array, hehe, it is a treasure that can be passed down to future generations! ”
