In Chang'an City, there have long been rumors about what happened to Changsun Tang in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and there are those who exclaim, those who abuse, and those who are shocked and filmed......

Some people feel that Fang Jun has done too much, and he is not killing people too much, so that people suffer such humiliation, it is against the duty of a gentleman, and morally corrupt.

Some people also think that this is very good, that the eldest grandson has already wanted to beat Fang Jun to death, this is already a mortal enemy, what kind of gentleman's morality do you pay attention to with the enemy? Naturally, how to relieve hatred and how to come! These people not only felt that Fang Jun had done too much, but felt that Fang Jun was able to restrain himself and not let the eldest grandson Tang "die violently" in prison, which was already merciful enough.

Don't say anything shameful or shameful, it's better to die than to live......

Public opinion is turbulent, with mixed reviews.

Naturally, no one pays attention to why, in this case, the beaten person was confiscated and distributed, and the beater was rewarded for "righteous courage and moral pacesetter......

In the Jingzhao Mansion duty room, Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi and Qu Tuquan, who had just returned to Beijing to report on his work, came to visit Fang Jun together.

Fang Jun was lying on the kang, listening to Qu Tu's eloquent talk about the rumors about the humiliation of the eldest grandson in the market.

Li Siwen and Cheng Chubi are both in Jingzhao Mansion, which is the closest to the place where the incident occurred, but they still don't know about it. At this moment, hearing Qu Tu's story, the two of them gasped together, subconsciously shrank the chrysanthemum, and looked at Fang Jun dumbfounded.

It's so ruthless......

What a and despicable person must have to be to come up with such a sinister idea?

Anyway, Cheng Chubi and Li Siwen have the same idea, rather than being abused like this, it is better for you to give me a knife......

In the future, you have to stay away from this mallet, this guy doesn't care about it, just wants to be in a good mood, who can stand it?

"What are the arrangements after returning to Beijing to report on work this time?" Fang Jun asked Qu Tuquan.

Although Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong was a northern barbarian clan attached to Xianbei Murong, his status in the Zhenguan Dynasty was extremely lofty.

On May 20 of the first year of Wude, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an and established the Tang Dynasty as the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.

In the process of raising troops from Taiyuan to unifying the whole country, Li Shimin repeatedly made miraculous feats, had a high prestige, and formed a powerful political group with the Qin Wangfu strategists and brave generals as the core, Qu Tutong was one of them, posing a serious threat to the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

In order to keep the status of the crown prince and the right to inherit the throne, Li Jiancheng befriended Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and jointly opposed Li Shimin. Li Shimin learned that Li Jiancheng wanted to kill Li Yuanji when he was on his way, so he consulted with the military generals and decided to strike first.

In the early morning of June 4, the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin led Qu Tutong, Changsun Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshi, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui and others to launch a coup d'état in Xuanwumen, ambushing and killing the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji, King of Qi.

On the seventh day of the first month, Li Yuan established Li Shimin as the crown prince.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, although he was the crown prince, Li Shimin, who had already placed Li Yuan under house arrest and was in charge of the government, was worried about the turmoil in Luoyang, so he sent Qu Tu to Luoyang to guard Luoyang as a school inspector.

This shows Li Shimin's trust and attention to Qu Tutong.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Qu Tutong died of illness. His Majesty Li Er regretted it for a long time, and gave Shangshu's right servant the title of "loyalty". Qu Tutong has two sons, namely Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan, and the eldest son, Qu Tushou.

At the beginning of winter last year, His Majesty Li Er occasionally remembered Qu Tutong's loyalty, and felt that he had treated his loyal ministers a little, so he bowed to Qu Tu and became the captain of Guoyi, and gave him food and cloth to express his bereavement, and transferred back to Chang'an to take up his post.

Qu Tuquan replied: "Your Majesty's meaning, the Sixteen Guards or Yuan are randomly selected from the forbidden army. I want to come and ask Erlang, do you have any suggestions? ”

Fang Jun frowned slightly.

It's a bad choice......

The forbidden army of the Sui Dynasty had twelve guards, namely: left and right Yi guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right military guards, left and right tun guards, left and right waiting guards, and left and right imperial guards. Tang Cheng Sui system, following the Sui Dynasty twelve guards, only slightly changed the names of several of them, and added four guards about a thousand cow guards, left and right prison guards, called the South Ya Sixteen Guards.

In addition, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozu took 30,000 soldiers from Taiyuan as the palace guard, called the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, also known as the Father and Son Army, they were the emperor's personal soldiers for life, and the children complemented each other and were well treated. Because it is stationed in the north of the imperial city, it is also called the North Ya.

Later, His Majesty Li Er set up camp left and right in Xuanwu Gate, known as "Flying Cavalry", and selected 100 people who were strong and good at shooting to be named "Hundred Cavalry......

In the Tang Dynasty, the South Ya is the general name of the Central Bureau, located in the south of the palace city, called the South Ya or the South Division, the Sixteen Guards belong to the South Ya, the prime minister is in charge, the civil ministers are in charge of the military affairs, and the guards of the South Ya are generally from the various folds of the palace; The eunuchs live in the north, called the North Ya or the North Division, and the forbidden soldiers such as the Yulin pro-army belong to the North Ya, which is responsible for the eunuchs who are close to the emperor, and the military ministers are in charge of the military affairs, and the forbidden soldiers of the North Ya are generally the emperor's and the prince's personal soldiers.

Sometimes, the generals of the north and south will also be transferred and concurrently hold official positions in each other.

It is said that the choice between the south and the north is not difficult......

Throughout the early Tang Dynasty, the development and growth of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army was synchronized with the decline and disintegration of the government military system. In the process of the development of the forbidden army, the government soldiers were constantly absorbed, so that the confluence of the guards was realized in terms of personnel and positions, and the Beiya Forbidden Army became the factor and way out for the collapse of the government and military system at the same time. The emergence of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army was the Tang Dynasty's response to the change in the nature of the government and military system and the decline in the intimacy of the government soldiers, and its development was a process of gradually getting rid of the influence of the Southern Ya and evolving to the inner court.

This is a relatively mature system, which greatly enhances the centralization of power.

Moreover, this is determined by the political situation at this time, and it is impossible to change it because of one person.

The suppression of the Guanlong Group and the decline of the Saga Gate Valve are all factors that promote this process.

However, the mature system also gives birth to its opposite, and political diseases such as eunuchs and military arrogance have been buried deep in it. It is a historical paradox that the measures taken by the emperor in order to protect himself from the power of his ministers ended up in the emperor being subject to domestic slavery......

Of course, there is no perfect system in the world, and even if the best system is implemented by a group of arrogant, lascivious, corrupt and corrupt people, it will inevitably end in the collapse of the edifice and the collapse of the empire.

"Let's go to Beiya."

Fang Jun said.

In any case, in the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Ya was firmly at the center of power. At this time, it is the beginning of the prosperity of Beiya, and if you can gain a firm foothold in it and make some contributions, several generations of the Qu Tu family can lie on this merit book and eat the old book.

In addition, in this era when the law is extremely imperfect and the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, power is both an axiom. The military power in the hands of a few good brothers is an extremely stable situation, even if they don't peep into anything, they can still take the initiative in the sudden situation.

Therefore, he said to Li Siwen again: "You also go back and write a letter to the British duke, mentioning the matter of entering the Yuancong forbidden army, and see what the British duke thinks." If it is not as expected, His Majesty will definitely expand the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army next, and the left and right camps stationed in Xuanwu Gate will inevitably be restructured, after all, the Sixteen Guards of the Imperial Court are now controlled by the family gate lords, and only by improving the status and strength of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army can it be foolproof. ”

To put it bluntly, now His Majesty Li Er no longer trusts the sixteen guards who hold important positions among the children of the gate valve families. He had to aggressively expand the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army and raise the strength of the Northern Ya in order to sit back and relax.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to sleep until midnight one day, and the sixteen guards would mutiniate and rebel and set up a new emperor......

Cheng Chubi has been operated by his son to the left guard, father and son are in the same camp, and the future is immeasurable.

Li Siwen nodded.

For Fang Jun's suggestion, all the brothers were convinced. There is no way, in the past, he was a gentleman who didn't do anything serious, but suddenly Fang Jun seemed to have opened his mind, his ability was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and his official position was getting higher and higher day by day, leaving the old brothers far behind.

If you don't accept it......

While a few people were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Cheng Wuting pushed the door and walked in, looking at Fang Jun and stopping.

Fang Jun waved his hand: "Here are all brothers in life and death, there is no difference between each other, there is no need to avoid anything, just say something if you have something." ”

Cheng Wuting said at this time: "The eldest grandson ...... He's dead. ”

Fang Jun's face was calm: "Well done." ”

Cheng Chubi and Li Siwen were taken aback, and looked at Fang Jun in surprise, and you have done everything to the scourge of the eldest grandson, and you don't plan to let him go yet?

Cheng Wuting looked strange and said, "The question is...... It's not a humble job. ”

Fang Jun was surprised.
