Chapter 056: Regularization

Luo Tong doesn't want to join the army? Naturally not, even if he doesn't do it, Li Shimin, who has seen the power of the Modao Army, will not allow it, because he knows that it is easy to find political talents, but military geniuses are ten thousand times more difficult, and he needs to develop people's livelihood in the short term, but don't forget, Li Shimin is a person full of wolf nature, and his eyes are by no means limited to these countries in China and the surrounding countries, but at present, Li Jing, who commands the three armies, is getting old, and he needs to cultivate a second and third ...... In order to expand the territory of Li Jing, Luo Tong has now shown his amazing talent in military affairs, and he is his son-in-law who is at ease, it is strange that he does not make more efforts to cultivate, and his intentions can be seen from teaching Luo Tong the art of war without hesitation.

Li Shimin's attention, Luo Tong knew that he was also very moved, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it

The moral of this sentence warns people not to be too much in the limelight, because if you are too much in the limelight, you will inevitably be the first to be attacked by external forces.

He Luo Tong does not have a single beard in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, and a gust of wind can blow him away without a trace. Although he was cared for by the emperor, the emperor sometimes had to compromise with reality. Therefore, it is okay for Luo Tong to be young and frivolous, but it is not a good thing to be in the limelight too much, so he deliberately gives people a lustful and unmotivated image.

There is no fear of Li Shimin Luo Tong, Li Shimin is very tolerant of heroes, and Hou Junji intends to rebel in history. Li Shimin pardoned him on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence. Wei Chi Jingde went crazy at the banquet he held, and almost blinded Li Daozong, a relative of the imperial family and the Tang Dynasty, and was also pardoned, as long as he Luo Tong was not stupid enough to rebel like Du He, he would be fine.

Others are not worried, he is afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji who did not expose his ambitions and accumulated strength with the help of Li Shimin's trust, this person is known as a horse killer and a gravedigger of the Li family! Kill the royal family and relatives, without blinking an eye, once it develops like history, he Luo Tong, the eldest concubine, will definitely bear the brunt.

Li Shimin said this now, but indirectly helped Luo Tong, with the cover of "meritorious service in order to marry the princess", in the future, he will make meritorious service, others will also say that he Luo Tong is for Changle and women, not for power, so that those bigwigs in the DPRK and China will not feel that he is a threat and will not be strangled before he grows up!

Luo Tong didn't like this kind of fight, but he had family and lovers to shelter! Therefore, it is not a bad thing to prevent problems before they happen, and his purpose is only to protect himself.

Once the vigilance of potential enemies is removed, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng and will turn into a good thing.

If he is really a talented, virtuous, and capable person, who displays his personality, gives full play to his own advantages, and is harmless to his friends, society, country, and even enemies, how can he not seek his own interests like the eldest grandson Wuji, with the help of Li Shimin's affirmation, attention, and trust?

There are no absolutes in everything, as long as the method is right, bad things can be transformed into good things!

At this time, facing all kinds of laughing eyes, I looked at Changle who was blushing and looking forward to it! Luo Tong blinked and said, "Then there must be a limit." ”

Li Shimin said lightly: "Take a general to marry Changle." ”

"General Sixteen Guards?" Luo Tong asked cautiously.

"Yes, that's right. That's it. Li Shimin said in Luo Tong's tone, and looked at him with a slight smugness, as if to say: "Boy, play tricks in front of me, you are still tender!" ”

Luo Tong's gaze swept over the faces of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji and other generals one by one, and his face turned green when he landed.

The Tang Dynasty used the government soldier system, with the sixteen Wei generals leading the world's government soldiers, and combining the government soldiers with the forbidden army. In peacetime, when there is no war, the 16th Wei General can manage the 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding the Beijing Division. If there is a war, he needs to be used, and with the identity of this Sixteen Wei General, he can completely sit in the position of commander, and can gather the troops under his command to fight alone with a large army of more than 100,000.

This is a position that really holds great power and holds real power, and the people who held such positions in the Tang Dynasty, at least after the age of thirty or forty, were almost all those generals who had experienced a hundred battles.

Luo Tong is only a seventeen-year-old boy who has no merit, and there is no war at the moment, even if there is a war, Li Shimin will use those hundred battle generals first.

Historically, Li Shimin knew that Su Dingfang had a great talent, but he didn't use it, in addition to leaving it to the heirs for this reason, the most important thing is that there are too many famous generals in the Zhenguan Dynasty alone, when the war comes, anyone will give priority to those famous generals who have a chance of winning, rather than Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Xue Rengui, these new generations whose abilities are undetermined and whose odds of victory are unknown, want to have a chance, unless the older generation is dead.

The reason is the same, there is not even a chance to make meritorious contributions, Luo Tong is simply an impossible task to be a general, even if he does, even if the beautiful Princess Changle does not marry someone else, she is also a gray-haired old lady.

After a long time, Luo Tongcai said with a sad face: "These generals have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years in the troubled times, and they have led the troops for many years before they were promoted to generals... Compare me to these gods, and you can't help but look down on me... Even if I have the life and the ability to take it, it will be seventy or eighty! It doesn't matter if you delay me, what should Changle do? ”

"That's right! Forget about the general. Li Shimin wanted to embarrass Luo Tong more, but thinking that embarrassment Luo Tong would also be tantamount to making Changle only worried, so he relented, agreed, and said: "Then we have to make a great contribution that can be said." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Tong was overjoyed when he saw that Li Shimin had agreed so happily, and then walked up to Li Jing and said pitifully: "Boss, is there still anyone in Lingzhou?" Miscellaneous sweeping is also fine. ”

Before Li Jing could reply, he asked Li Jidao again: "Uncle Li, I haven't seen Brother Siwen for a long time, and I miss it very much." When will the uncle go back to Bingzhou and talk to the little nephew, and the little nephew will be your guard. ”

The appearance of dying for the sake of beauty caused a burst of laughter.

Li Shimin waved his hand and didn't let Luo Tong continue to play treasure, he looked at Luo Tong with a smile, and suddenly said: "Luo Tong listens to the seal!" ”

Just thinking about why Li Shimin's smile was so obscene, and let Li Shimin drink it like this, Luo Tongden hit a spirit, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The last general!" ”

Luo Tong is full of expectations, I don't know what position Li Shimin will give him! Although he is now a lieutenant general, he is a temporary worker and does not belong to the official establishment.

Li Shimin's face was solemn: "Luo Tong is young and heroic, wise and brave, he is the pillar of the country, I have always appreciated it, and the Mo knife formation created is a restraint tactic, and he is specially named the general of the left guard, leading the Mo sword army, protecting the left and right, and serving my Tang Dynasty." ”

As soon as Li Shimin thought of this, almost all the people in the audience gasped.

Even Luo Tong opened his mouth in surprise, Zuowei Zhonglang General, this is too scary!

The left guard is the most important guard among the sixteen guards, in charge of the palace guard, and the left guard Zhonglang is the commander of the forbidden army responsible for Li Shimin's safety. Zuo Wei Zhonglang will have four official positions, which is not big. But he often accompanies Li Shimin, and he is a real power, and he has the easiest opportunity to get promoted, and it is a position that everyone is jealous of.

Luo Tong refused, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although the general of Zuo Wei Zhonglang is an important position, I also see that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the young general, but living in the palace, I really have what the young general has learned, and it is not what the kid likes!" Moreover, although the Modao formation is advantageous, the exercise is not actual combat after all, and no matter how good the formation is without actual combat, it is also a sketch. It is about the glory of Datang, we can't regard the exercise as a real battle, if we really want to be like this, this is irresponsible to Datang, the army, and the soldiers. ”

A seat of speech, all said silently.

Li Jing and Li Ji were full of praise among the two soldiers

"The junior general said that 'practice is the only criterion for testing the truth,' and now he wants to say that 'actual combat is the only criterion for testing the army.'" Your Majesty, I want to take three thousand Mo sword troops to practice. Please Your Majesty. Luo Tong's tone was always indifferent, but everyone felt a surging murderous aura.

Everyone looked at Luo Tong with a strange face, the last time he was alone, he was so angry that Jieli was like thunder, and now he has three thousand wings, so why not kill Jieli?

Li Shimin thought about it again and again, and muttered: "You are determined to be on the battlefield, I will make you the general of Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang, and lead the Mo Sword Army to obey the orders of Shubao and serve my Datang." I have authorized you to train in the field, but as for training in the north, forget it. ”

"Emperor Xie!" Luo Tong shouted and ordered down, Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang will be of the same rank as Zuo Wei Zhonglang, and he is also in charge of guarding the palace, but he is allowed to go out with the army when necessary. Unlike the left guard Zhonglang general, unless Li Shimin personally recruits, he will not get the opportunity to go out.
