Li Zhi sat lazily in the imperial garden basking in the sun, and when he learned that Xue Shao had come to ask to see him, he smiled, "It's still here after all—call him here!" ”

Xue Shao entered the house to see him, and Li Zhi gave Xue Shao one, which was by his side.

"Xue Shao, why did you come to see me?" Li Zhi took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here for Zhao Yijie." Xue Shao replied, "Zhao Yijie violated military regulations, and the minister has taken him down for punishment and handed it over to Dali Temple." ”

Li Zhi nodded quietly and noncommittally, making an expression of "wait for the following".

"Your Majesty ......" Xue Shao showed a hint of shame and said with a smile, "The minister knows that he is the orphan of a martyr adopted by His Majesty in the palace, and the minister's hand is a little heavy, so he ......"

"So what?" Li Zhi said lightly, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, do you think I will protect him?" ”

"That's not what the minister meant." Xue Shao hurriedly surrendered his hand.

"That's right, I'm talking to you through the mouth of Taiping, and I want to ask you to open up." Li Zhi said, "But if Zhao Yijie really broke the law, he will be punished how he should be punished, and I will never say anything." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xue Shao bowed his hand, but he was slightly shocked in his heart, why did Li Zhi change his face like turning a book, he still wanted to protect him Zhao Yijie yesterday, and today is the truth?

"Since I have granted you an official position, I am asking you to do your duty." Li Zhi said, "You are dedicated to your own affairs, so why do you have to go around asking for instructions?" ”

"The minister knew that he was wrong. After the minister, he must change it! Xue Shao nodded, and his heart also woke up! - Li Zhi must know that I have already met the queen of heaven!

"Under your push, the Northern Ya Forbidden Army began to rectify military discipline. This is a good thing, and it is long overdue. Li Zhi said, "Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing are both good at fighting, but they will inevitably feel constrained as officials in Beijing." That's why I appointed you as the commander of a thousand horsemen. You and Cheng and Li Er will complement each other and complement each other. In the future, my Northern Ya Forbidden Army will be handed over to the three of you. Except for me, no one has the right to meddle in the affairs of the Beiya-Xue Shao, you have to remember! ”

"Yes, the minister wrote it down!" Xue Shao bowed his hand, thinking that His Majesty was expressing some dissatisfaction with my affairs, and the implication was probably to say, 'Since you are my people, and Beiya is also my army, why do you bother to explain to the Queen of Heaven?' ’…… Sandwiched between the two saints, it's really hard to be human!

"Zhao Yijie, the essence is not bad, but there are some common problems of the children of official eunuchs, who like to eat, drink and have fun." Li Zhi's words changed sharply, and he said, "Xue Shao, if there are similar things to deal with in the future, I will not interfere with you or have any resentment, I only ask you to inform me in advance, how about it?" ”

"Obey the order!" Xue Shao replied seriously, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although Li Zhi's words were euphemistic, they were actually expressing his opinions and dissatisfaction. Compared with Wu Zetian's opinion "do what you should do", Li Zhi's mind seems to be not so broad-minded!

"I'll give you a hand." Li Zhi waved his hand, and the attendant took a brocade box that had already been prepared and handed it to Xue Shao, Xue Shao approached with both hands, "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" “

Li Zhi said: "Now, I officially grant you the right to arbitrarily determine a thousand horses, just like going out on an expedition to the outside of the Son of Heaven to grant the 'Heavenly and Earth Despotic Axe', which can be cut first and then played by military law. In the future, all the affairs of Qianqi will be handled by you, and there is no need to hand over to Dali Temple or make other requests. ”

"Your Majesty!" Xue Shao thanked him solemnly, thinking that Li Zhi gave me arbitrary and full powers, but in fact, he wanted to completely block Wu Zetian from the gate of Qianqi. If it is not surprising, Li Zhi must have also issued such an edict to Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing, the generals of Yulinwei on the left and right!

Li Zhi's intentions have been clearly revealed - the Beiya Forbidden Army is the personal unit of His Majesty the Emperor, and Li Zhi will never allow anyone or any department to interfere in the internal affairs of the Beiya Forbidden Army!

This anyone, of course, including the diva; Any department, of course, including the Yamen of Dali Temple and the Ministry of War!

"Xue Shao, I'll tell you the truth." Li Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "Although I am still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many things that I can master as a novice. The Northern Ya Forbidden Army is the army I rely on the most at present. You, along with Cheng and Li, are my most important generals. It can be said that I even gave you my life. Don't let me down! ”

"The minister knows." Xue Shao bowed his hand and bowed, "I swear allegiance to His Majesty, and I will not spin my heel when I die!" ”

"Okay." Li Zhi nodded lightly, "You go and get busy, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

"Retire!"

Xue Shao withdrew from the Ice Hall and let out a long sigh of relief.

Things have calmed down for the time being. But Xue Shao's heart is rare and relaxed. It is not difficult to hear from Li Zhi's words that he has high hopes for the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and he does not allow anyone to have the slightest involvement in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. This is no different from when Li Shangdan was in power.

The only difference is that the previous Beiya was Li Shangdan who had the final say; Now, it has been replaced by Cheng Wuting, Li Jinxing and Xue Shao.

However, these three people are inextricably linked with the queen of heaven. So Li Zhibiao was very nervous, he was very worried that his last talisman trump card would be enveloped by the queen of heaven. Today, Li Zhi handed over to Xue Shao a piece of autocratic power, in fact, to declare his absolute sovereignty over the Northern Ya Forbidden Army! …… The dispute between the two saints has been involved in every corner of the court and the army, and no one can stay out of it!

Xue Shao felt that he was the most difficult of all people. He even had such a vicious thought in his heart, saying that there are no two kings in the world, and the two saints are fighting for the rest of the world. Rather than that...... It's better to die early!

But after thinking about it, Xue Shao felt that it was better for Li Zhi to live a few more days, at least until he had smoothed out the affairs of the army...... "Ahem, how can I be so conscienceless?" He's my own uncle and Taishan's father-in-law! ”

With these messy thoughts, Xue Shao returned to the official office of the Qianqi station, only to find that Li Jinxing and Cheng Wuting were waiting for him in the conference hall. Xue Shao hurriedly went to meet the guests.

"Let the second general wait for a long time, Xue Shao's crime!" Xue Shao hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what happened when the two generals came suddenly?" ”

Li Jinxing's expression was a little excited, and he took out a brocade box that Xue Shao was very familiar with, "Childe, please see, what is this?" ”

Xue Shao didn't need to look at it, he had already guessed eight or nine, but he still opened it and looked at it. Sure enough, it was a handwritten edict that granted Li Jinxing the arbitrary and full power of the right feather Lin Wei.

"I have it too!" Cheng Wuting also came up with the same thing.

Li Jinxing laughed, "It's okay now, with the authorization of His Majesty's order, we can finally do things drastically, and we don't have to have any scruples!" ”

"yes!" Cheng Wuting had an expression of excitement and relief, and said, "With His Majesty's clear statement, no matter whether he is a relative of the emperor or the prime minister, he will not dare to interfere in the affairs of the Northern Ya!" In the future, the three of us will have the final say, and we will only obey the orders of the emperor! ”

"It's so much easier! Just like in the past when he commanded the border army, the order forbids no one to dare to make peace! Li Jinxing laughed.

Xue Shao folded his hand and put it back into the brocade box with a smile, and then returned the box to Li Jinxing, saying: "What the two generals said is very true, and no one will dare to interfere in the affairs of Beiya in the future. Don't hide it from the two of you, Your Majesty also gave me such a hand! ”

"As expected!" Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing said in unison, and then clasped their fists together and laughed, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Xue Shao nodded with a smile, thinking to himself, Li Jinxing and Cheng Wuting are both relatively simple field commanders, and they probably haven't realized the profound meaning behind this handshake! …… The queen of heaven promoted the two of them, but was dug into the corner by His Majesty. I really don't know how the diva will feel!

"General Xue, we might as well show your majesty's hand all over the army. I don't believe it, who would dare to make a mistake? Li Jinxing said, "From today onwards, we will make concerted efforts to vigorously rectify military discipline. When the day of the ban is carried out in unison, it will be the time when the Beiya Forbidden Army will shock the world! ”

"Good!" Xue Shao approved loudly, and stretched out a palm, "Then let's work together to revive the prestige of Beiya!" ”

"Work together to reinvigorate your prestige!" Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing both stretched out their hands and shook hands with Xue Shao.

There is one thing, although Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing did not make it clear, but the two of them, as officials, personally deigned to go to the official office of their subordinate Xue Shao to discuss the matter, and among them expressed their gratitude and respect for Xue Shao.

Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing have been in office for many days as General Lin Yuwei, but they have not been in power, and the depression and grievances in the hearts of the two generals can be imagined. Therefore, Li Zhi's authorization is of extraordinary significance to them. They also knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for Xue Shao's vigorous promotion of Beiya's military discipline rectification and activities around this time, they would not have been able to get this authorization!

So at this moment, the three generals of the Beiya are all tacit. In the hearts of Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing, they added a lot of gratitude and respect to Xue Shaoping.

Then, as if it had been discussed, the three generals of the Northern Ya showed the emperor's hand to the monarchs, declaring their absolute power over the army. The whole army of the Beiya Forbidden Army was suddenly purged, and absolutely no one dared to launch the matter of "forcing the palace" again, otherwise Cui Heming would be the end!

The rectification of the Beiya can finally start in a bold way!

This first shot was fired, but Xue Shao was not satisfied at all. He began to work on the second important thing - the reorganization of the Thousand Horses!

In the past, the Zhonglang generals who commanded thousands of horsemen and the left and right Lang generals waited, Xue Shao didn't want to evaluate their abilities and attitudes, but for the group of people they selected, Xue Shao was not satisfied. Among them, there may be elites, but there are too many children of fresh clothes and angry horses, and there are only a few tough guys and martial artists who are really capable and hard-working, and dare to sacrifice their lives.

Therefore, Xue Shao wanted to recruit a group of sergeants, combat officers and civilian honors who had been on the battlefield and had made meritorious contributions to enter the Thousand Cavalry. But in this way, it is strictly zhòng violating the conscription system of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army - only the children of the eunuchs of the clan are accepted!

Xue Shao knew in his heart that the most difficult thing in the world was to change people's habitual thinking and innovate the old system. Therefore, it is no easier to get this done than to fire the first shot. It's even harder!.
