Chapter 352: Su Hudong and Li Tengkong's military positions

Yang Guozhong and Chen Xian stood up and agreed. []

It's just that Chen Xian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, in order to prevent accidents, are you transferring troops and horses from Shannan, Huainan, and Jiangnan to the periphery of Chang'an to protect the Beijing Division?" ”

Li Heng sighed, "No need. The soldiers and horses of the world are all in the Eight Heavens Domain, if the power of the domain town cannot resist the rebels of An Lushan, the Daozhou soldiers and horses will gather together, and it will not play much role. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly on the side, knowing in his heart that Li Heng really had no confidence.

In fact, don't talk about Li Heng, even if it is Li Longji, who is known as a wise and martial artist, the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion in history was also a hasty abandonment of the city and fled, resulting in the failure of the Tang Dynasty Temple, and the prince's son and grandson were killed by An Lushan's rebels, which became a great shame that can never be washed away.

"Your Majesty, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Henan, and there are nearly 70,000 troops in Chang'an Zhuwei, if An Lushan rebels and is blocked by a heavy army, Chang'an will definitely be safe, please rest assured." Zhang Ji arched his hand and said softly, looking at Li Heng meaningfully.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and nodded silently, but he stopped talking.

"Farewell to the ministers, Your Majesty is safe!" Chen Xian and Yang Guozhong glanced at each other, bowed down to say goodbye∨ Xuan also clasped his fists and saluted, preparing to leave.

But I heard Li Xiang say softly, "Zizhan, you stay, I still have a few words to say!" ”

"Your Majesty, please command." Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, so he stayed flat.

After Chen Xian and Yang Guozhong left, Li Heng turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan, smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Zizhan, I have something to say in front of Yang Guozhong and Chen Xian. ”

"I have left you with two things to discuss."

"I know that King Jianning has a close relationship with you. And I also know in my heart what Li Tan wants to do∮ Zhan Ah Although I love these sons, there is only one location in the East Palace, so ....... Li Heng wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty Shengming, the ownership of the princes of the East Palace is a family matter of Your Majesty, and the ministers dare not say anything." ”

Seeing Zhang Xuan pretending to be confused, Li Heng couldn't help but snort coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Zizhan, don't pretend to be stupid with me!" What I mean, you know very well ∞ is to persuade Li Tan to keep his duty and not cause trouble! This Donggong is too "set sail and smoke" as a candidate, so for the time being, I will not consider it. ”

Zhang Xuan sighed, "Your Majesty, the long-term vacancy of the position of Prince of the East Palace is probably not a blessing for the community!" Please also ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision! ”

Li Heng stared at Zhang Xuan deeply, and said in a low voice, "Zizhan, as you said, the mother of King Jianning was from a humble background, and I canonized her as a virtuous concubine, which is already for the sake of King Jianning." If I canonize King Jianning as the son of the East Palace, then I must appoint Concubine Xian as the queen, how can I convince the public? ”

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

He knew that Li Heng did have his difficulties. He doted on Concubine Xue Shu, and wanted to wait for Concubine Xue Shu to give birth to the prince and then canonize her as the queen, and if Li Tan was canonized as the son of the "set sail and smoke", there would inevitably be an open and secret struggle between the rear power and the East Palace, making his backyard unstable.

Therefore, for the time being, Li Heng doesn't want to set up the East Palace, and wants to talk about it depending on the situation. If a few years pass, Xue Xiangyun will not be angry, and it will not be too late to set up Li Gang or Li Yu.

But the crux of the matter is that Li Heng's sons can't wait, and will make some small moves behind his back that give him a headache ☆ What makes him is Li Tan, the king of Jianning, as for Li Yu, he has been thinking about the secluded mansion behind closed doors, and it should not be a climate.

Li Heng knew that what Li Tan was counting on was Zhang Pian, so just before Zhang Ji left Beijing, he woke up Zhang Xuan and made him feel measured.

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the minister should try his best to persuade King Jianning to keep his duty, and the minister feels that His Royal Highness King Jianning is not the kind of person who does not know the general situation and does not know how to advance and retreat." ”

"This is the best∞ in the past two days, my heart has been unstable, it doesn't matter if something ♀ happens in general, King Jianning will go to Longshuo with you, and act as the Yamen of the Firearms Division, and you will always mention it, and I will rest assured." Li Heng let out a sigh, picked up the tea cup on the desk, and took a sip.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Heng raised his head again and smiled, "Zizhan, I heard that you are going to take the two ladies to Lingzhou ......,?" Hehe, I don't think there's anything wrong, it's just that Lingzhou is not as good as Chang'an, it's hard and unbearable, can you afford a beautiful wife like you? Ha ha! ”

Li Heng said half jokingly and half seriously, and immediately burst out laughing.

Zhang Xuan's heart sank, but his face remained silent.

He wants to take Su Hudong and Li Tengkong to Lingzhou, and he can't hide it secretly, in fact, he can't hide it. However, even so, Li Heng was able to get the news so quickly, which obviously shows that the emperor is still very "concerned" about the movements of the Yongning Palace. Moreover, Li Heng suddenly mentioned this, which also carried a certain warning.

Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, but smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, the minister is about to report this matter to Your Majesty." The ministers will not violate the rules of the court and bring their families to the vassal. What the minister wanted to bring was the princess Su Hudong and the lady of Yanning County, Li Tengkong. These two ladies are strong in martial arts, good at arching and riding horses, and they are both generals. Now the ministers have to resist the Tibetans, and they have to guard against An Lu's contempt, and the generals are lacking. For this reason, the minister Hong Weng asked the two ladies to go to Longshuo with the minister to join the army, follow the example of the former sage Mulan, and contribute to the country! ”

Li Heng smiled and waved his hand, "Zizhan, women have been in the military since ancient times, but there is no ......precedent in this dynasty, good, good!" ”

"The two ladies are brave and loyal to the country, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows, and they will join the army from their husbands, and they will be a good story for the dynasty! I am very relieved and moved. Come on, spread my will, canonize Su Hudong, the wife of Lingguo, and Li Tengkong, the wife of Yanning County, as the generals of the left and right heroic female army, rank three products, and enter the account of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to obey orders! ”

"Give the two female generals swords, armor, and horses...... Tell the world! ”

Huo Changqing immediately agreed to go out to deliver the decree.

Zhang Xuan wanted to leave Beijing with his two wives, but he didn't know that Zhang Xuan was going to bring Su Hudong and Li Tengkong, and he didn't know that Zhang Xuan wanted his two wives to wear armor and serve in the army.

Today, he tried a sentence and got an unexpected answer to the case of "setting sail and not Yan'er", Li Heng was excited, and before Zhang Xuan refused, he directly announced the will to canonize Su Hudong and Li Tengkong's military positions. Of course, this is just a name, a fictitious title, and a title that Li Heng easily obtained, and has no real military power. But as long as they have the military positions canonized by the imperial court, the two girls really want to lead the troops in the future, and it is logical.

Li Heng looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile.

Zhang Xuan sighed lightly and bowed down, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Retire! ”

He didn't expect that when he entered the palace, he would exchange Su Hudong and Li Tengkong for the military positions of two female army generals. Among his wives, there were two generals who were canonized and recognized by the imperial court, and if they really wanted to spread it, they were afraid that it would shake the entire Chang'an City again.

Zhang Xuan left the palace.

By the time he returned to the palace, Li Heng's decree and the swords, armor, and horses given to the two daughters had already been issued and sent to the palace.

When Zhang Xuan arrived at the back court, Su Hudong and Li Tengkong were "setting sail and smoke" to put on armor and change clothes with swords around their waists, and the bridge horses walked back and forth in the courtyard. And Cui Ying and Wan Chun stood aside, looking at the heroic appearance of the two girls with a little envy.

However, this kind of thing is not enviable. Su Hudong can lead the army to fight, and he is omniscient in archery, horseback, riding and shooting, which is a kung fu that he has practiced since he was a child: and Li Tengkong is a skilled female middle school hero, and the martial arts practice of more than ten years of immersion in prostitution is not something that Wan Chun and Cui Ying and other famous daughters and royal princesses can imagine.

Hua Nu'er stood at the arch with a smile, looking thoughtfully at the two girls who were excited to "set sail and smoke".

Hua Nu'er heard Zhang Xuan's footsteps and turned back suddenly.

Zhang Xuan gave her an apologetic glance, among his women, Hua Nu'er has not yet "set sail and smoke", which makes Zhang Xuan feel a little indebted to Hua Nu'er. As for Yang Sanjie and Yang Yuhuan, Zhang Xuan has another placement.

Hua Nu'er smiled softly disappreciatively. She doesn't care about her status at all, as long as she can stay by Zhang Xuan's side, it's enough. Besides, she knew that Zhang Xuan valued love and righteousness, and would never give her a share of "setting sail and not smoking", so there was no need to care about it for a while.

Zhang Xuan stood beside Hua Nu'er, looked at Su Hudong and Li Tengkong, who were waiting for the armor to straddle the horse, and said with a wry smile, "I said two, are you using the mansion as a martial arts arena?" ”

Su Hudong smiled lightly, and immediately turned over and dismounted, his movements light and smooth. Li Tengkong, on the other hand, simply stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and his whole body immediately flew down from the horse, landing almost silently on his side, smiling.

"Lord Wang, the armor of the Tang Dynasty is heavier than the armor in my Hui army, but in the battle array, it is very good." Su Hudong gently stroked the bright golden armor on his body, slowly took off the helmet and held it in his hand.

Li Tengkong smiled and pulled out his saber and waved it, "Xuan Lang, this sword is exquisite and sharp, but it is a sharp weapon!" ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the two girls with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice: "What do you do with knives and guns at home?" Hurry up and change it! ”

Su Hudong and Li Tengkong exchanged a knowing look, and suddenly bowed down together and promised loudly, "The last general will obey!" ”

Three days later "morning."

Outside the Anhua Gate of Chang'an City.

Zhang Xuan took off the crown belt of the royal dress and put on the armor of the vassal again, while Su Hudong, Li Tengkong and Hua Nuer were also wearing armor. The four of them turned over and turned to see off Cui Ying and Wan Chun, their mother Liu, the two uncles, the relatives of the Zhang family, and the slave family, and more than 100 people stared at them for a long time before waving their hands and resolutely turning their heads to beat the horses and galloping.

Behind the three of them, Nan Jiyun led more than 100 fierce Longshuo guards to shout loudly and gallop with them.

A puff of smoke and dust rose and gradually dissipated.

The corners of Wan Chun's eyes were wet for a while, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Cui Ying's arms and sobbed. Cui Ying's eyes were also red, she hugged Wan Chun's weak body tightly and comforted her softly.

Everyone stood in place and stared until they could no longer see the traces of Zhang Pian and others, and then they slowly returned to the city and returned to their homes with a sad parting mood.
