Chapter 479: Crowned King

Li Shimin stared at Liu Sheng.

He looked at this stout tower-like fellow, and he loved it very much, and a shallow smile kept on his lips.

He loved horses, and he loved those who had no scheming.

Li Shimin immediately spoke: "When Zhang Liang rebelled, Liu Sheng ......" Li Shimin put away his smile, because he struggled every time he said a word, so much so that he had to take a breath every time he said a word, and said: "Have you ever rescued the driver?" ”

Liu Shengmu said without squinting: "Your Majesty, I was the first to rush into Zhang's Mansion with Captain Xue's team. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Can you kill the thief?" ”

"Slaughtered one." Liu Sheng almost didn't hesitate: "He stood in front of the inferior and wanted to stab me with a spear, but I cut him with a knife." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, but with an excited smile, he couldn't help but touch the wound, so he laughed and looked like he wanted to hold back, but it was uncomfortable, Li Shimin said: "Are you afraid?" ”

"I was a little scared when I went." Liu Sheng replied honestly: "But if you really rush in, you are not afraid at all." ”

Li Shimin then sighed with emotion: "I really survived because of you." If not, at this time...... It's time for you to put on your plain clothes and mourning clothes. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he felt like he was about to cry.

Li Shimin is a person with rich emotions, and after experiencing life and death, it is inevitable that there will be more emotion in his heart.

In front of these simple soldiers, Li Shimin couldn't hide his emotions: "What Datang needs is a loyal person like you." ”

Liu Sheng blushed, being praised like this, or being praised by His Majesty today, he was a little at a loss.

At this time, he should have yelled loudly, and he did not hesitate to go to the soup for His Majesty. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them inexplicably.

Li Shimin had a smile in his eyes, and patted his shoulder lightly with his hand and said, "Don't be cramped, I summoned you to enter the palace, not only to review you, but also to let people know the credit of your rescue." ”

"Whoa." Liu Sheng immediately responded.

Immediately, Li Shimin's gaze swept over the other soldiers.

One by one, people looked ahead and did not dare to squint.

Only then did Li Shimin turn around and glance at Chen Zhengtai, who was following behind: "At the beginning, it was Xue Rengui who rushed in to rescue the driver first, right?" I already knew that he was still a tiger-headed young man, but he was very strong, did he come today? ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty called, who dares not to come?" He's leading the team on the side. ”

"Such a person is the most suitable for being in the army, and it is best to be in the army for a lifetime." Li Shimin sighed, with a deep sadness on his face: "Don't be like me......"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen also thinks so. ”

Li Shimin coughed.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty should go back to the car and take a good rest." ”

"I've been resting long enough." Li Shimin stubbornly said: "So much so that many people seem to have forgotten about me, and they have no fear of me. Datang ...... If there is no immortality, I don't know how many people will be kings, and how many people will be emperors. ”

This is full of sarcasm, Chen Zhengtai smiled, and said no more.

Li Shimin walked a few more steps tiredly with his hands behind his back.

He seemed to turn a blind eye to the princes and ministers in front of the Taiji Palace, as if he didn't know about their existence at all.

And the ministers in front of the Taiji Hall were still standing, as if they had seen a ghost.

They still can't understand why Li Shimin didn't die in such a good way, or waited angrily to enter the coffin, but he was standing in front of him alive?

If you can live like this, then you can really see the hell.

But the more this happens, the greater the awe of the people.

Some people don't dare to look directly at Li Shimin's back.

But...... Finally, someone came back to his senses, so someone took the lead and said, "Minister...... I've seen Your Majesty. ”

The rest of the people finally reacted, and then they were shocked, and they bowed down one after another, swaying their sleeves to the ground: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin still didn't look at them.

He continued to stand in front of the queue of the soldiers of the new army, looking at the immature faces, the broad shoulders that were enough to support the armor, and constantly nodding his head.

He walked very slowly, and with every step he took, when he touched the wound, he was uncomfortable and had to breathe more, and cold sweat was already floating on his forehead, but he still ...... It was still step by step, and I insisted on reaching the end of the team.

Call......

After a long breath, Li Shimin said: "The children of hundreds of workers are worthy of their reputation. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said lightly: "Then let them wait." This new army can take on a great responsibility. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Where is it, it's just a group of monkey cubs, Your Majesty has an overreputation." ”

Li Shimin said indifferently: "It seems that you can't take on the big responsibility?" ”

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Your Majesty, Erchen is actually just modest. ”

"You don't have to be humble in front of me." Li Shimin seems to have a bit of spirit: "You can't be too modest in everything, otherwise, others will look down on you." Li Shimin raised his head and suddenly said, "Does the new army have a banner?" ”

"Not yet." Chen Zhengtai said: "Isn't the new army going to be abolished?" I'm going to go anyway...... Erchen thought, there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai meaningfully and smiled: "In the past few days, you have said a lot of strange things in front of me. ”

"Where." Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Erchen has no complaints. ”

Li Shimin said: "Can the new army be expanded?" ”

Chen Zhengtai coughed: "In the future, with this as the backbone, it can be expanded a little more, but there are still not many children of hundreds of workers, especially qualified children." ”

"You are right, don't rush everything. This is true for governing a large country, and it is also true for governing the army. Li Shimin said: "It's just that the combat effectiveness of this new army is still unknown." It's just a Zhang family, it's nothing. ”

Chen Zhengtai bowed: "Exactly." ”

The two of you, you say a word, I say a word.

But the ministers were miserable.

Fang just bowed, his head hung down obediently, his hands maintained a long movement, and his body was arched, but Li Shimin did not say that he was exempt, as if he had forgotten them, so his body was inevitably stiff, these ministers, most of them were many years old, and they were pampered on weekdays, maintaining a movement, not moving at all, it was really more uncomfortable than dead, one by one, like a hundred claws scratching their hearts.

At this time, they were shocked by Li Shimin's appearance, and no one dared to move easily at this time, so they could only keep one movement.

But Li Shimin still didn't take these people to heart, as if he had really forgotten them, and continued to review the New Army with great interest, and talked some gossip with Chen Zhengtai, and then slowly glanced at these ministers from the corner of his eye.

Li Shimin stepped forward slowly, he walked very slowly, but every step seemed to be knocking on the hearts of these courtiers.

waited in front of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and then said: "Prince...... It's been hard to supervise the country in the past few days, and there is no major event in the country. ”

Li Chengqian seemed to be in great spirits, and immediately said: "Father, the son is just a child, and the ministers say that the son is far from being as good as the father and the emperor, and the son is in charge of the country, like sitting on pins and needles." ”

Li Shimin smiled and asked lightly, "Is it?" Zhu Qing's family, what is wrong with the prince? ”

The ministers were already frightened, but Li Shimin asked at this time, but everyone could finally take this opportunity to rejuvenate their bodies, so they all looked at Li Shimin in awe as if they had been amnestied.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on one person, and said, "You might as well ask Master Lu first." ”

Lu Deming was named, and subconsciously trembled, he only had one thought at this time, that is, he was blind, how did he teach such a dog thing as Li Chengqian in the first place.

But when he was named, he couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he hurriedly said, "Prince...... The crown prince summoned new troops into the palace...... This...... This doesn't make sense. ”

"Why don't you get along?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Deming with a smile: "Let's talk about it." ”

In fact, when he said this, Lu Deming already regretted it.

Now I'm afraid that fools can see that nine times out of ten, this new army was summoned to the palace by the emperor, but what can he do now, the words have been said, doesn't he want to lose face? You have to hold on to it, otherwise you will inevitably be seen as undisciplined.

So he settled down, coughed hard, and said: "The new army will be dismantled soon......

"Who said it was going to be cut?" Li Shimin asked him suddenly.

Lu Deming said: "It is the will of His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "I ordered the abolition of the new army because I felt that the new army was meritorious and only used as an ordinary military horse, which was not suitable. ”

Lu Deming: "......"

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Why didn't the Qing family say anything? ”

Lu Deming couldn't help but think in his heart, what you say is Tianxian, what else can I say?

Li Shimin immediately said: "So I want to list the new army as a forbidden army, and have the duty of guarding from the dragon and following the side of the Son of Heaven, and I want to list them as a janissary army and give them the Tiance army, okay?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the ministers were in an uproar.

Everyone was directly stunned.

Tiance Army......

The guards of the Tang Dynasty include Yulin Guard, Shen Ce Guard, and in addition, there are also Long Wujun, Jin Wuwei and so on.

In theory, these names are imposing.

If Your Majesty wants to promote the new army to the Praetorian Guard, it will be fine, but this day the army will ...... But there are other implications.

You must know that during the Wude period, that is, when Li Yuan was still in power, Li Shimin, the king of Qin at that time, broke the two major separatist forces of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, and Wang Shichong, the king of Zheng, in the battle of the Tiger Prison, and captured the two to the capital Chang'an, unifying northern China for the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan believed that Li Shimin had already been ranked as the king of Qin, the Taiwei and the Shangshu Order, and there was no seal, and the existing official position could not show his glory, so he specially created a position of general of Tiance and awarded Li Shimin.

Thus...... The name of this heavenly policy is almost exclusive to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin became the emperor, it was naturally impossible for the position of Admiral Tiance to be granted to others.

And the word Tiance will naturally never be named.

However, Li Shimin directly conferred the name of the New Army Tiance Army, which was very taboo.

Isn't it obvious that this is worth paying off? Although the other guards are also Praetorian Guards, the Tiance Army is the Praetorian Guard among the Praetorian Guards!

Lu Deming immediately said: "Your Majesty, this ...... No, never...... Tiance is the name of His Majesty, how can it be easily conferred, if so, then the captain in this new army, isn't it called Captain Tiance, the general of this new army, isn't it...... Isn't it also General Tiance? ”

Li Shimin smiled, looking at the flustered Lu Deming, but his eyes were extremely indifferent: "I said yes, yes." ”

"Enlong is too heavy." Lu Deming still insisted: "I'm afraid it will attract criticism." ”

"It's just you who blame you." Li Shimin said: "Enlong doesn't care about being too heavy, when I was in danger, if Qing could come to the rescue, I would not be stingy with rewards, don't say that I will give you a name, and I will crown you as the king." ”

Lu Deming was stunned,, isn't this teasing me?

Knowing that the minister did not save the driver...... It's humiliating to me.

Or humiliated in front of so many people!

So Lu Deming said: "In this way, doesn't Your Majesty still want to seal out the prince?" ”

He was a little angry, and wanted to say in his heart, Lao Tzu is no longer serving, you can do whatever you like, if you have the ability, you will go to the king with a different surname.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Qing is really right, Chen Zhengtai has made great contributions to saving the driver, not to mention that when my life is dying, he also serves me wholeheartedly, operates for me, does not untie his clothes, and accompanies him day and night...... I haven't decided yet, Lu Qing's family is a university scholar, and he is rich in five cars, and I still want to ask Lu Qing's family for advice. ”

Lu Deming's face turned white: "......"

The ministers were already in an uproar.

It was only after the initial shock that many people realized that they had mistaken their calculations.

Your uncle's, Li Shimin......

I don't want the discipline anymore, right?

From the Tiance Army to the king with a different surname, this clearly wants to do whatever he wants.

In fact, in the eyes of people, it is harmful to the royal family, after all, every prince means that a large number of people will be needed to support him in the future, which is a huge expense.

In addition, for the ministers, the clan relatives are crowned kings, and they have to be sealed elsewhere anyway, and everyone is afraid of them, so how do you like to play. But the different surnames are different, because the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all different surnames, and once this precedent is opened, then the power of the imperial court will be unbalanced.

Everyone is a minister in the same court, and such a big county king is by your side, and then you have to point fingers from time to time, so do you want to respect it?

So the loyal ministers couldn't bear it any longer.

This said: "Your Majesty...... This is an unprecedented precedent in this dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice before acting. ”

"I've thought twice about it, and I think it's the right fit." Li Shimin said lightly.

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

Lu Deming and the others were a little panicked, and one shock bomb after another was thrown.

This majesty looked at it with a smile...... But how can it be like taking gunpowder?
