On this day, Li Longji came down.

There is a weak breath in the Wude Hall in a daze.

In the past, Li Longji was usually a beautiful woman on his side, and the musicians in the pear garden sang and danced to congratulate the Tang Dynasty poems.

But now Li Longji was alone in a daze, looking a little blank.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting around saw this situation, and they were all cautious.

They all know that the Tang Emperor has been a little moody recently, and if he is angered at this time, there will never be good fruits to eat.

And only Colliers can accompany him......

But even Gao Lishi didn't dare to speak out casually, just quietly accompanied by the side, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

At this time, a eunuch outside the hall beckoned to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi walked out quietly, and it turned out that Pei Min's private message had arrived.

Pei Min is one of the few people who Li Longji has permission to listen to the sky directly, and Gao Lishi does not dare to be a little lazy.

"Your Majesty! This is a letter from Pei Guogong......"

Li Longji came back to his senses, and when he heard the words "Pei Guogong", his empty eyes showed some brilliance, he reached out to take the secret letter, tore open the seal clay, and glanced at the four pages of numbers, his expression was a little surprised.

I took a serious look at the beginning and found that what was written was all trivial things.

First of all, I introduced my condition, and thanked him for arranging for the imperial doctor in Beijing to go to Hexi to treat his injuries.

Then he introduced the situation here in Hexi, in short, no matter how big or small, he wrote about it.

Li Longji not only felt verbose, but watched it with relish.

It is not unreasonable that Pei Min can win the favor of Li Longji.

Officialdom is learned, and it is what it likes.

Pei Min doesn't know much about Li Longji, the emperor, but he still knows a lot about his hobbies and habits.

Li Longji is very delicate in terms of feelings, regards a person as his own person, and hopes that the other party will also regard him as his own.

Just like a group of musicians in the pear orchard, in the pear orchard, Li Longji is very disgusted to call him "Your Majesty", and he often does not pretend to be the person who calls him His Majesty, but he is very serious to those who dare to call him "Yagong".

Ya Gong, to put it mildly, it's the male bustard.

But Li Longji loved this title in Liyuan......

It is precisely because he likes music that he sincerely hopes that in the pear orchard, the musicians will not regard him as an emperor, but an artistic madman who likes music.

If Pei Min was respectful in the letter, it would make Li Longji feel angry.

It's also a way to do what they like.

Li Longji looked at them one by one, and when he saw that at the end, Pei Min said with a little embarrassment at the end, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing very heartily.

Gao Lishi was surprised on the side, since Wu Jieyu was sent to the cold palace, his master had not shown such a smiling face.

Throwing the letter on the table, Li Longji stretched his waist vigorously and said to Gao Lishi: "Jingyuan has said so much nonsense, and the real value is the last few sentences. To sum up, Hexi is short of soldiers, let me make up for it! That's all about it, you say, it's not funny. ”

Gao Lishi was very good at speaking, and said at this time: "The old slave thinks that the prince of the country is thinking about His Majesty, and he went to Hexi suddenly. Originally, he just wanted to see Xue Dudu for the last time, but he didn't want a series of things to happen, so he couldn't greet one properly. Now Guogong is serving His Majesty in Hexi, and the situation in Hexi is complicated, and even a powerful character like him will inevitably be injured, and I don't know what year or month it will be when I see him again. ”

"yes!" Li Longji sighed and said, "I miss him a little too...... Jingyuan left too hastily this time, he first went to Taozhou over the years, and then played with Tubo for the Jiuqu land in Hexi, followed by Longyou and the natural disaster, and he has not rested well. I thought that when this country came to congratulate and the world was peaceful, let him rest in Chang'an and enjoy it. By the way, he and Yuzhen will have a good affair, lest a girl's family either face the idol or study the dangerous black powder...... But I don't want the Northwest to change so quickly. ”

"After reading Jingyuan's letter, I realized how unbearable the situation in Hexi was! The seven governors, the governors of Liangzhou, talked about the troops on paper, the tired border was lost, and more than 10,000 soldiers died. The governor of Guazhou was simply raised by the bandits, and he was the younger brother of the thief leader, the governor of Xizhou was incompetent, the governor of Yizhou exceeded his authority, the governor of Shazhou was greedy for money, and there was a mediocre governor, only the governor of Suzhou could be of great use...... It's a misuse of people. ”

Gao Lishi immediately defended Li Longji: "Hexi is thousands of miles away, Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an, how can you know so clearly?" How can you say it's your fault? ”

Li Longji is quite narcissistic, and also agrees with this statement, saying: "It's true that the words are true, but keeping them is a disaster after all." Fortunately, Jingyuan noticed it early, and quickly cut through the chaos and swept away the Hexi Rebellion. I really can't imagine that someone is so bold as to eat empty salary, and I know a little bit about this. As long as it's not too much, I don't care about these things, the water is clear and there are no fish, can I not understand this truth? ”

"But this Shazhou Governor is really hateful, the actual number of the Yumen army of 8,000 soldiers is only more than 5,200 people, and he has eaten the salary of nearly 3,000 people alone, and he is so greedy that it is really hateful. Breaking into the camp gate and dying, it's too cheap for him......"

After a pause, Li Longji asked, "How many reserve troops are there in the imperial court?" ”

Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be much, more than 10,000." ”

Li Longji had a headache when he was on the board, of course he remembered that not long ago Zhang Shouqi also applied for a supplementary military supply, but the government military system has completely collapsed now, and the conscription system must also consider the country's livelihood, and it cannot be recruited excessively, resulting in the loss of local population and the lack of strong men to cultivate.

In recent years, the imperial court has carried out recruitment in various places, and the original government soldiers and soldiers on the border have been replaced by Long March athletes, and the strength of border defense has increased greatly.

But any clever system has a bottom line, which is excessive and inappropriate.

Based on the analysis of the current situation, it is not easy for the imperial court to open a new recruitment, and it needs to be repaired and restored after a period of repair.

The remaining 10,000 people are the last bit of troops in the hands of the imperial court.

There was little hesitation, Li Longji said: "Just give it to Jingyuan, after all, the Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong is a small fight, it really can't work, just transfer an army from Youzhou to help." It's really not easy for Jingyuan there, his opponent is not a country like Bohai State, but a country with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Both the Turgish and the Whirk countries are big countries that can come up with more than 100,000 troops, and as for the Great Food Country, they are even more than 300,000 away, which cannot be ignored. ”

Li Longji almost didn't think about it, so he made a decision.

As for whether the reason is really as he said, or something else, then the benevolent will see the wise.
