Li Shimin smiled: "Really? ”

He stared at Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai said again: "There is another reason, Erpigou Hussar Mansion, the prince is also very important, a few days ago, he came to Erpigou several times, all for this matter." ”

Li Chengqian was beside him, and said in his heart, Gu is going to go a few times, but he is just going to discuss the matter of betting with you Chen Zhengtai, if this is also concerned about the Erpigou Hussar Mansion......

Li Shimin seemed to know in his heart what Chen Zhengtai had in mind.

The hussar mansion won, Chen Zhengtai and you are honored, the prince is honored, and I am also honored.

It's better than the right guard who will win.

Li Shimin immediately said: "The hussar mansion must be rewarded heavily, according to my opinion, I will promote this hussar mansion to the guard, Su Lie, I ordered you to be the guard of Erpigou." ”

Su Lie was shocked in his heart, he was just a small general, subordinate to a military government, and belonged to the deputy general of the militia.

But the word guard rate belongs to the subordinate officer of the East Palace, and he is the deputy general of the Praetorian Guard.

In the Tang Dynasty, although there were many guards, these guards were all subordinate to the emperor. In order to ensure the safety of the palace, the East Palace has set up six guards, which are subordinate to the prince and are also a kind of forbidden army, so there is a saying that the prince has six rates.

These six guards protect the safety of the crown prince, and their military attachés are all called guards.

In this way, the Hussar Mansion is equivalent to becoming a kind of forbidden army, and its status has been greatly improved.

It's just that Su Lie still has some doubts in his heart, the good and upright Erpigou hussar is protecting Erpigou, how did he become the guard of the East Palace?

Chen Zhengtai stood aside, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so gracious, this Su Lie is stupid." ”

He made a joke before Su Lie woke up, he glanced at his eldest brother, and knew in his heart that his eldest brother wanted this result.

So there was no hesitation, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Obey the order." ”

Li Shimin was in a very good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "From now on, the East Palace will be seven rates, and the Hussar Mansion will also become the prince's guard to protect the prince's safety." It's just that...... is still stationed in Erpigou, Chen Zhengtai also worked hard this time, for the Zhan Mansion and the rest of the people, all of them were rewarded by the Ministry of Rites. ”

Li Shimin's eyes immediately fell on Chen Zhengtai's body, and his expression was a little more solemn: "I handed over the crown prince to you." ”

Chen Zhengtai sighed in his heart, His Majesty's arrangement was obviously intentional.

In the eyes of the emperor, he is the emperor's person, so this Shao Zhan matter is not only a subordinate official of the prince, but also represents the emperor's urging of the prince.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were two sets of teams, one was naturally the imperial court, and there were three provinces and six departments in the imperial court. The other set is in the East Palace.

Why did the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty always rebel in all dynasties? This is not without reason, because ...... In the East Palace, there is also a set of administrative and military teams for the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court, and although the sparrows are small, they are complete.

Among them, there are both Zhan Shi and Shao Zhan Shi who can be succeeded in the future, and this Zhan Shi is equivalent to the Zhongshu Order, that is, the 'Little Prime Minister', and the Shao Zhan Shi is the deputy of Zhan Shi, that is, the 'Little Prime Minister', in addition to the Zhan Shi who is similar to the Zhongshu Order, there are also the left and right Chunfang corresponding to the Monk Book Province of Menxia Province, such as Kong Yingda before, who is the right concubine, in fact, he manages the Right Chunfang.

In addition to the three provinces, there is actually a special imperial history in the East Palace, which is responsible for impeaching the lawlessness of the subordinate officials in the East Palace.

It can be said that the entire Zhan Mansion is like a small court.

So, as long as the emperor and the prince are not in harmony, the prince will do it without saying a word, just copy the guy, there is a reason, after all, if you want ministers to have ministers, and if you want soldiers to have soldiers, I won't beat you who you fight.

For example, there are six prince's guards now, and now Tang Taizong has increased to seven, in fact, in the later period, the prince's guard in the Tang Dynasty will increase by ten.

This approach, to some extent, is because the Sui and Tang dynasties learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty, when the dynasties changed rapidly, many generals with different surnames rebelled at every turn, and in order to prevent the seizure of power by different surnames, it was necessary to strengthen the power of the clan, especially the crown prince.

Chen Zhengtai didn't expect His Majesty to have such an arrangement, this Shaozhan room, but the little prime minister, although the little prime minister said something unpleasant, but in fact, Shaozhan is responsible for the prince's guard and other matters in the East Palace. Anyway, Chen Zhengtai can take care of anything in the affairs of the East Palace, and the emperor is generally very vigilant in a position like this.

Because on the one hand, he is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and there is a set of administrative teams in the East Palace, if this person is only loyal to the prince, then there may be a big problem, and then the emperor and the prince will fall out of harmony.

On the other hand, once a son of heaven and a courtier, to a certain extent, Shao Zhan Shi can change from a small prime minister to a real prime minister, such a person also needs to have enough ability to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, and can assist the prince to control the court.

It is necessary to have the ability, but also to be trusted enough, and even ...... You still have to be younger, otherwise, before the crown prince ascends the throne, you will rush into the street, what can you do?

After thinking about it, Li Shimin decided to let Chen Zhengtai come, he has a good relationship with the prince, he is close, I also trust him, this guy is also very good at discovering talents, and these talents can be used as reserve talents in the East Palace, and in the future, after a hundred years, he will assist the prince.

But His Majesty's arrangement almost made Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian completely tied together.

If Chen Zhengtai does something in the future and is unlucky, Li Chengqian will definitely be implicated, after all, Chen Zhengtai has done something immoral, can you Li Chengqian have nothing to do with it? Nine times out of ten, you are the mastermind behind the scenes.

But if the prince does something, Chen Zhengtai is afraid that it will be finished, because ...... Do you dare to say that you, Shao Zhan, are not instigating it behind your back?

There are pros and cons to this Shaozhan matter, but in the eyes of others, the meaning is different.

Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and the others were quite shocked in their hearts, they obviously knew that this appointment was very important, and His Majesty was thinking about what would happen to him a hundred years later.

After making this arrangement.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "The student is grateful for the grace of the teacher, but ...... Students are afraid that they will not be able to do this little thing......"

Li Shimin glared at him: "You don't have to be modest, my disciple, how can you say that you are not capable?" ”

"The student has no intention of refusing." Chen Zhengtai said: "I just hope that the teacher can let people assist the students, such as this Ma Zhou......"

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel funny, and thought that this guy wanted to resign, but it turned out that he was not polite at all, he wanted to be able to be with him.

Li Shimin was not stingy, so he said: "In this case, let him temporarily replace the concubine of Youchunfang, and let him assist you well." ”

Chen Zhengtai didn't expect Li Shimin to agree all at once, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought that he had been promoted again, and he was also very excited.

I don't think this is a worship of the prime minister, in ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, and now I Chen Zhengtai is fifteen years old to worship the little prime minister, although the age is a little older, but not chilling.

Chen Zhengtai thanked him happily.

Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and said arrogantly: "The rest of the top horse teams should also be rewarded." ”

Then he said, "I am tired, so I will stop today." ”

Improving the East Palace, especially including Erpigou in the East Palace Guard Rate, although it was Li Shimin's whim, but in fact, it was the result of careful consideration after experiencing Marseille.

In Li Shimin's opinion, his brother King Zhao still has the ability, he is both Yongzhou Mu and the right Xiaowei, if it weren't for the Erpigou hussar who pressed the right Xiaowei, this King Zhao doesn't know how much prestige he can get!

When I am here, of course, I can suppress King Zhao and other clan relatives.

But what if one day I'm gone?

The prince is too young to convince the public.

As an emperor, you can't help but think long-term.

The Tang Dynasty can't have the tragedy of clan cannibalism anymore, since it can't clean up King Zhao, let the prince go to win the popularity of the people and enhance the strength of some princes.

Li Shimin said yes, ignored the other ministers who were in pain because of losing money in gambling, and drove back to the palace directly, and then ordered someone to call Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian to Ziwei Palace.

Here, there are no other miscellaneous people, finally not talking properly.

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai and said directly: "How much bet did you bet on Erpigou this time?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Chen Zhengtai's face at first, and then he said ashamedly: "It's not much, the student only bet 15,000." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was timid, and when the students persuaded him to bet more, he felt that it was not safe, so he only bet 2,000 yuan. ”

Li Shimin's body trembled, and he looked at Chen Zhengtai with blazing eyes and said: "I heard that the odds are as high as seventy or eighty to one hundred, so ...... said."

Li Chengqian was happily silly on the side, looking like he had succeeded in his trick.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher, gambling is harmful, not worth advocating, this time is just a fluke of students to win, in fact, the students to His Majesty suggested Marseille, not for this gambling play, the fundamental reason is that students hope to use this Marseille to promote the horseshoe, only the promotion of the horseshoe, is the benefit of the country and the people. Students have no selfish intentions."

"Horseshoe?" Li Shimin was stunned, this thing was a new thing to him.

Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Shimin's expression and said, "If not, why can the Erpigou hussar run so fast?" And along the way, there is almost no loss of horses. ”

Li Shimin was shocked for a while, and he only came to his senses at this time.

That's right, I am also a person who is familiar with horse nature, it stands to reason that the two incense sticks go back and forth, and there is no conversion of a large number of war horses, this doesn't make sense at all, this is not just Su Lie's ability.
