Chapter 25: Patrol Battalion
Li Jianguo and Xiao Yu chatted for a long time, and both of them felt unprecedented happiness, and there was a feeling of hating each other.
"Lord Xiao, I had a very happy chat with you today, I haven't been so happy for a long time." Li Jianguo laughed.
Xiao Yu smiled back, "The old man hasn't been so happy for a long time, this time Fang Xuanling's guy has accepted a good son, which is really enviable." ”
"Lord Xiao praised it falsely." Li Jianguo replied humbly. Li Jianguo glanced outside and continued: "Lord Xiao, it's not early, it's time for me to leave, I'm really disturbed today." ”
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and asked.
"Yes, I still need to go to the palace later, and I need to return to the emperor for something." Li Jianguo said unabashedly.
"It's okay, you tell the emperor what I said, and I will enjoy Qingfu at home in the future. I'm relieved that there are people like you in the court. Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"In that case, then I'll take my leave." Li Jianguo bowed down and said, after saying that, Li Jianguo left and walked in the direction of the mansion gate.
Xiao Yu looked at the back of Li Jianguo's departure, his eyes were a little complicated, and finally sighed, "This son will definitely be extraordinary in the future, he will definitely be the pillar of my dynasty one day, I really lost my eyes some time ago." ”
After Li Jianguo left the Xiao Mansion, he walked in the direction of the palace. Li Jianguo came directly to the Liangyi Palace, but found that Li Shimin seemed to be waiting for him there.
"Your Majesty, I'm back." Li Jianguo walked into the hall, saw Li Shimin, and spoke.
Li Shimin saw that it was Li Jianguo, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Second brother, you are here, what did I ask you to do?" ”
"Big brother, don't worry, fortunately, Xiao Yu has already agreed." Li Jianguo also told Li Shimin what happened at the moment, and Li Shimin was overjoyed after hearing it.
"You did a good job in this matter, not only did you not make Xiao Yu resentful, but you also turned the conflict with him into a jade silk, and willingly agreed to my request."
"Big brother is overrated, and I'm just acting on orders. When the people from the household department and Xiao Yu are handed over, the matter will be over. Li Jianguo glanced around and asked again: "Big brother, why are you alone?" ”
"Not long after Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui left, the two of them had just discussed with me here about arranging military patrols in Chang'an City, and the discussion had been fruitless for a long time, so I let the two of them retreat." , Li Shimin continued: "Fang Xuanling has completed the implementation of "Tang Law", and now the book has been distributed in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and it should be implemented to all states and counties. ”
"Master Fang's efficiency is naturally nothing to say, big brother can rest assured." Li Jianguo said with a smile.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Jianguo, and said with a smile: "That's your father-in-law, you naturally helped him speak." ”
Li Jianguo was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Big brother, I have an idea about the patrol force in Chang'an City, and this is what I thought of on the way here." ”
When Li Shimin heard Li Jianguo say this, he became interested and said, "Oh? Fang Xuanling and the others haven't had a unified opinion after thinking about it for a long time, you have an idea so quickly? Let's talk about it. ”
Li Jianguo thought for a moment, sorted out the thoughts in his head, and said: "I call this army a patrol battalion, and the number of this army does not need to be very large, hundreds of people are enough. As for the power of moderation, it can be controlled by the military department, or the emperor can appoint a loyal general to take charge. ”
"Patrol battalion, patrol battalion...... That's a good name, you go on. Li Shimin said.
Li Jianguo nodded and continued: "The main responsibility of the patrol battalion is to maintain law and order in Chang'an City, and it is also responsible for the defense of the ministers' homes and night curfews, and no one can transfer the patrol battalion for private use. ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "This idea is good, but if the patrol battalion is taken over by the military department, the patrol battalion will become a plate of scattered sand, after all, it is impossible for the military department to restrain the patrol battalion at all times." ”
"Does the eldest brother mean that he intends to appoint a general to take charge of the patrol battalion?" Li Jianguo asked curiously.
"Exactly, I already have a suitable person in mind."
"Oh? Who is it? Li Jianguo asked.
"General Qin Qiong, Qin." Li Shimin replied.
"General Qin?" For Qin Qiong, Li Jianguo couldn't know anything better. I have seen it many times on TV in the past, and now I have the opportunity to see Qin Shubao with my own eyes.
"Yes, General Qin Qiong once followed Emperor Gaozu to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions. At the same time, he is also one of my most trusted generals, he has the ability to take the head of the enemy general from the army, and I will introduce you to him another day. Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Jianguo nodded thoughtfully. The reason why Li Shimin was reused by Li Shimin and was able to gain Li Shimin's trust was naturally because of Qin Shubao's "Xuanwumen Change".
"It's so good, I've admired General Qin for a long time, and now it's naturally great to get acquainted." , Li Jianguo said a little excitedly: "In this way, if the patrol battalion is handed over to General Qin, it will be foolproof." ”
"Since you agree, then tomorrow I will announce this in the morning court." Li Shimin made a decision immediately and immediately decided.
"In addition, the patrol battalion needs to patrol Chang'an City all the time, so it is more difficult. The salaries of the soldiers of the patrol battalion should be higher than that of ordinary soldiers, so that they will wholeheartedly maintain the law and order of Chang'an City. Li Jianguo continued: "Big brother, if this matter is decided like this, then I will go back first." When I'm ready to play it, I'll present it to my eldest brother tomorrow, how about it? ”
"That's very good, then you can go back for the time being, and tomorrow I will present the fold, and I will announce this in front of the civil and military officials." Li Shimin smiled and said.
"In that case, big brother, I'll retire first." Li Jianguo bowed and said.
Li Shimin nodded, and Li Jianguo withdrew from the Liangyi Palace.
"This little guy has some strange ideas every time, I really don't know what he has in his head, it seems that I really didn't see the wrong person that day." Li Shimin looked at Li Jianguo's departing back and smiled inexplicably.
After Li Jianguo left the Liangyi Palace, he also hurriedly left the palace.
