Li Chengqian said: "Father, the person who has always commanded the army has always been a general, and the imperial court was sent to supervise the army during the war, and this management model has proved to be unfeasible.

The main generals of an army are all members of the army, and on major issues involving the movement of the troops, the military commander alone should not have the final say, but the committee should convene a meeting, everyone should raise their hands to vote, the minority obeys the majority, and the actions of the troops are carried out in accordance with the resolutions formed by the committee. This is called democratic centralism. ”

Then, Li Chengqian gave a lecture on the relevant knowledge of democratic centralism.

Li Shimin was very excited, he realized that democratic centralism is a sharp weapon for controlling the troops, and he already approved of Li Chengqian's opinion in his heart.

Next, Li Chengqian talked about the army's officer management, military demobilization, retirement system, retirement system, reserve system, and other military management systems that have been effective in the future.

At Li You's request, Li Chengqian made a lot of effort this time and integrated the materials provided by Li You.

Everyone was very excited, but they didn't expect Li Chengqian to be able to solve the eternal problem of commanding troops. However, although Li Chengqian has made a lot of progress in recent years, everyone still does not believe that Li Chengqian can think of such a bullish idea.

So everyone's eyes turned to Li You.

Li You hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, this is all the idea of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Regardless of whose idea it was, the problem that plagued the imperial court was solved, everyone felt relaxed, and the atmosphere in the study was lively.

Li You gave Li Chengqian a look, and Li Chengqian said: "Father, the emperor, the sons, and the generals proposed to implement the conscription system, so don't mention it again." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is over." ”

He said: "Prince, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, you must come up with a plan for the implementation of compulsory military service as soon as possible." ”

"The ministers obey." Li Chengqian and the others replied.

Li Shimin said: "Okay, Li You stays, and you all retreat." ”

After everyone left, Li Shimin said to Li You: "Yang Zaiyuan and the others will not mention this matter again tomorrow, and they should definitely inform Yang Zaiyuan and the others." "By they, I mean the people who are here today.

Li Shimin continued: "However, some people's work is still done by you, and you have to master the proportions, do you understand? ”

Li You said: "Father, rest assured, the son will definitely handle this matter." ”

He understood what Li Shimin meant, it was to let him communicate with Li Jing and others, not only to let them know that Li Shimin was in control of everything, but also to let them know that Li Shimin was not investigating the past, so that those generals would not have to bear the burden in their hearts.

Li Shimin and Li You have already established a tacit understanding, and the trust between them has reached a height that is difficult for others to achieve.

Walking out of the Liangyi Palace, Li You walked towards the Suzaku Gate.

The night is gentle, and the moonlight is like water. The spring breeze caressed Li You's face, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, which made Li You's heart feel relaxed.

With the solution of the stubborn diseases in the feudal society step by step, Datang is also developing more and more towards the appearance of Li You's mind. Over the years, although Li You has worked very hard and sacrificed the comfort of a foodie, he is still very satisfied in his heart.

Out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li You saw someone in front of him, he went over to take a look, it turned out that Wei Zheng was waiting for him here.

Wei Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, the minister is a little narrow-minded today, with such a solution, the minister will definitely support it." ”

Li You shook his head and said, "No, you must vigorously oppose it, and your attitude must be resolute." ”

"This?" Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Li You didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.

"Oh, I see." Wei Zheng patted his head and laughed.

The more Wei Zheng opposed the proposal of Li Chengqian's proposal to implement the compulsory military service system, the more difficult it was to implement the new policy pursued by Li Shimin, and when the time came, Li Shimin would be able to make an arbitrary decision, and the generals of the military would be more and more interested in Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

As for Wei Zheng, everyone knows that he is a stubborn bar, which does not damage his reputation in the slightest.

The next morning, Li Chengqian proposed the implementation of compulsory military service, Wei Zheng resolutely opposed it, Li Shimin made a final decision, and the military generals were ecstatic. The original crisis has just passed.

General's Palace.

Li Jing heard that Bai Hu, the chief guard of the Qi Palace, asked to see him, so he met him in the living room.

Baihu handed Li Jing a letter, Li Jing opened it and saw that there was only one sentence on it: "Daisen Dari has been captured and beheaded on February 25." ”

Li Jing was silent for a while, and then said to Baihu: "You go back and tell His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and say that the minister is very grateful to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the minister knows what to do." ”

After the white tiger left, Li Jing sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is really unfathomable. ”

This time, Zhang Baoxiang and others proposed to put pressure on Li Shimin by sending troops to Xue Yantuo, but Li Jing did not oppose it in order to safeguard the interests of the military. When adjusting the deployment of troops, Li Jing specially left a way for Daisen Dari to live, and also found an excuse for Zhang Baoxiang to lead the army to continue to stay in Xue Yantuo.

Li You's letter said that Daisen Dari had been captured on February 25, which shows that the attempt of Li Jing and others had been known a few months ago, and they had sent troops to the frontier of Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui in advance to capture Daisen Dari.

The reason why Li Jing thanked Li You was because people didn't want to make a fuss about this matter at all, and killing Daisen Dari was also to save face for Li Jing and others.

Li Jing sighed for a while, and said to the housekeeper: "You go and find Yang Zaiyuan." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Zaiyuan and others who signed the proposal for the implementation of the conscription system jointly wrote a memo to Li Shimin, expressing their allegiance to Li Shimin.

Qi Wangfu.

That afternoon, Li Ji was about to leave Chang'an, and he asked to see Li You and thanked him.

He had been worried about one thing and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, does the general know about the affairs of the ministers?" He was very worried that his whistleblowing would be known by Li Jing and others, so that he would have no face to mix in the army.

Li You said: "I don't know for the time being, but when you leave Chang'an, I will tell the general." ”

"Why?" Li Ji asked in surprise.

Li You smiled and said, "You are the apprentice of the Great General, do you think you can hide this matter from him?" ”

"This ......" Li Ji and Hou Junji are both Li Jing's apprentices and have studied the art of war with him. Li Ji knows Li Jing very well and knows that his affairs really can't be hidden from him.

Li You said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the general will not only not blame you, but will also thank you." ”

Li Jing was a little puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, the minister really doesn't understand, and I ask Your Highness for advice." ”

Li You said: "Why doesn't the general ignore Hou Junji? ”

Li Ji said: "I heard that Hou Junji sued the general behind his back. ”

Li You said: "You, you should do the same." ”

"You mean?" Li Ji somewhat understood.

Li You said: "It's good if you understand." ”

Li Ji was very happy, Li You's words opened his heart knot, and he happily said goodbye and left.

The three generals who can fight the most in Datang are Li Jing, Li Ji and Hou Junji, and the three of them have a master-apprentice relationship, this combination is not a reassuring combination. Li Shimin's biggest concern is that the relationship between the three of them is too close.

Now that Li Ji and Hou Junji are both suing Li Jing behind their backs, this shows that there is a deep contradiction between the three of them, and Li Shimin is relieved of them, and the three of them are saved.

Li Ji left the Qi Palace, and Xue Rengui saw him off at the door.

Li Ji said: "Xue Rengui, you are really a blessing, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is really admirable, you must follow His Royal Highness the King of Qi well and protect his safety." ”

"Boss, I know. Dashuai goes all the way. Xue Rengui said.
