Text 962 Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Coming out of the hall with Chen Jingzhi, in a tea room composed of floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the Zichen Palace, the scenery in front of the Zichen Hall was unobstructed through the window, even the central army on patrol could be seen.

"The Central Army has not been idle in the past few years, and this time Pei Zhong will go to Anxi, and he also intends to establish a rapid reaction force for my Datang according to my proposal, and the framework of this force is mainly based on a part of the Central Army." Li Hong motioned for Chen Jingzhi to sit down, and then saw the sleepy-eyed Xiao Li Mei at the door, rubbing his eyes with one hand and holding the tiger girl in the other.

beckoned Xiao Li Mei to come over, the little guy who hadn't woken up yet, as if he didn't know where he was, climbed on the sofa and sat down next to Li Hong, and then planned to sleep again.

"Your Majesty has been letting the Central Army operate outside the city of Jiling all these years, so you must have accumulated a wealth of experience for the future rapid reaction force, right?" Chen Jingzhi, of course, knows a little bit about this.

After the turmoil of Da Shi for a few years, the Central Army secretly roamed in Da Shi for a few years, and when the Central Army secretly entered Da Shi, it was arranged by him and Pei Xingjian when they were the secretary of the military department.

Stroking Li Mei's somewhat messy hair next to him, after signaling Li Mei to greet Chen Jingzhi, he continued to laugh and talk: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, but if it encounters a large-scale war, not any army can easily win if it is pulled over, and the establishment of the rapid reaction force can allow the Tang Dynasty to have a passive buffer period when facing war." Of course, this is also just a worst-case scenario, as for the function of the Central Army in the future, in addition to being able to conquer and habitually fight, it is his lightning speed and elusive dynamics, which can eliminate any threat for Datang outside the territory of Datang. ”

"That'...... The number of people should be a lot less than when the old minister was there, right? Chen Jingyi was talking to Li Hong, and looked at Li Mei, who was sitting beside Li Hong obediently and silently, and said.

"10,000 people are enough, and if there are more, it will not be a rapid reaction force. With the sharpest knife in my Datang, the strongest firearm and crossbow, and the best war horse, coupled with its erratic dynamics, although it is only a 10,000-person army, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. After Li Hong finished speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Jingzhi to speak.

Instead, he said to Li Mei next to him: "Go wash your face, after washing your face, my father will take you to Concubine Yan's place to see how your Concubine Yan's opera is arranged, and see if there are any characters you like." ”

"Hmm." Li Mei, who gradually eased up, got off the sofa obediently, left the tiger girl in the hall, and then took the palace maid at the door to dress up.

"Your Majesty told the old minister about this army, is it because of the choice of commander?" After Chen Jingzhi watched Li Mei walk out, he hesitated a little, and finally said the entanglement in his heart for Li Hong.

"Yes, this army is estimated to be able to be formed soon, and the Central Army has been taking turns to change its defense in Jiling City over the years, or secretly roaming in the territory of Dashi, now that it has really been formed, it must have a number and a commander, what do you mean?" Li Hong looked at Chen Jingzhi with a serious expression and asked.

Chen Jingzhi once again did not answer Li Hong's words at the first time, but pondered for a long time, until Li Mei finished washing his face, ran in with light calves, and showed Li Hong a smile like an angel.

"Whether it is the son of Xue Rengui or the son of Hei Yan Chang, although they can fight well, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the great responsibility that His Majesty hopes for, not to mention that they are not in Anxi now, but have moved to the southwest. In this way, they can not only adapt to the work style of this unit, but also be able to make a calm judgment at a critical moment, and most importantly, there are only two people who can give full play to the characteristics of this unit. Chen Jingzhi filtered all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, who were no more than forty years old, in his mind, before he could find two generals who were suitable for Li Hong's style of forming this army.

"Then who do you think is more suitable, Yuan Shuji or Li Jingxuan?" Li Hong said the two suitable candidates for the head in his heart, and he was confident that there were only two people Chen Jingzhi said, and they must be these two people.

"Li Jingxuan is steady and ruthless, Yuan Shuji is fast and ruthless, both of them are very urban, they are extremely calm in case of trouble, their ability to grasp the opportunity on the battlefield, and their insight into the current affairs pattern and even the overall situation are comparable. Li Jingxuan is thirty-seven years old, and Yuan Shuji is thirty-five years old, both of whom are full names of wisdom and bravery, one for the main and the other for the deputy, which is the best. But...... It's a pity that one of them is talented, and if two people jointly command a force, His Majesty must be reluctant. Chen Jingzhi analyzed to the end, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, these two people are really not easy to choose.

"So what?" Li Hong didn't give Chen Jingzhi a chance to play Tai Chi, and he was entangled for almost half a month, but he couldn't make up his mind who to use.

And Pei Zhongjiang's recital was also shelved in the imperial study by himself, and he never moved, because he really couldn't make up his mind who would be the commander of this army.

Both of them have no identity background, they were promoted step by step by virtue of their military merits, and they both fought with Li Hong, both of them have the ability to defeat the enemy's troops at the lowest cost and the least number of people.

"So Your Majesty, make up your own mind, the old minister really can't help. By the way, Imperial Concubine Chen just talked to the minister, and there was still something to discuss with the minister, so the minister retired first. After Chen Jingzhi finished speaking, he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, waved his hand at Li Mei, who was dressed beautifully, and then ran out quickly.

"Why didn't Grandpa leave without saluting? Is there something wrong with him? Is Imperial Concubine Chen the mother of Qinghan? Li Mei looked at Chen Jingzhi, who seemed to flee in a panic, and looked up at Li Hong with a twitching face in confusion.

This old thing, after not seeing that he was far away from the court, became cunning, and he didn't worry about the king, but in order to avoid suspicion, he threw down the problem and ran.

"He was afraid of the tiger girl, so he left first." Li Hong got up from the sofa, took Li Mei's little hand, and then took the string handed to him by the palace maid, Li Mei in one hand and Hu Niu in the other, and the father and daughter went to the harem.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his daily routine is basically like this, and today is quite relaxed, but even so, after only dealing with some trivial matters such as the court meeting today, he walked out of the Zichen Hall again, and the sun was gradually sinking in the west.

Originally, Lawlessness was the best candidate, but he came out of the shadows of the unseen over the years, and he also sharpened himself from the real battlefield, but Li Hong was still a little reluctant to let the two of them serve as the rapid reaction force.

After all, in addition to the rapid reaction force, a force that is only for decapitation, only for killing, and even only for eliminating potential threats to Datang also needs a more suitable general, and such a force, except for lawlessness, no one else is very suitable.

Li Mei, who was bouncing and humming in one hand, didn't know if it was a simple ballad from Yan Lingbin's church, and the tiger girl who was holding Xiao Li Mei in the other, such a situation appeared in the harem, so that palace maids and eunuchs of all sizes couldn't help but smile after seeing it.

Her Royal Highness the princess finally had someone to accompany her, and looking at the smile on her beautiful little face, you knew that Her Royal Highness Mei must be happy in her heart today.

Otherwise, after the four bells rang, a small figure and a mighty tiger would have appeared in the harem on the way to Guozijian.

After approaching Yan Lingbin's palace, Li Hong stopped the palace maid and the eunuch's report, and it stands to reason that the sound of silk and bamboo music that should sound every time you come is not sounded today, but it seems a little quiet.

Pulling Xiao Li Mei into the entrance of the palace, along the stone road to enjoy the carefully arranged trees and flowers in the courtyard, the entire front yard of the palace, looks elegant, quiet, giving people a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

After Li Hong made a silent gesture to Li Mei, the two of them quietly approached the door of the palace, and at this time, when passing through a window, they heard Wu Mei's voice coming from the open window.

"Zu Junyan once used: The bamboo of the South Mountain is endless, and the waves of the East China Sea are inexhaustible. to comment on Emperor Yang Guang. But in my opinion, hmph, this ancestor Junyan is in order to please Emperor Gaozu, so he has to pour dirty water on Emperor Yang in the previous dynasty. Although the word Yang also represents the historian's disfavor of him, I think that although Yang Guang is so happy, but it can't be useless, let others belittle and slander, the canal is too eager for quick success, but later people, I Datang because of Yang Guang's crime, and got a huge benefit, if it weren't for this canal, the famine a few years ago, Li Hong was afraid that the edict would have to be issued several times. So this person is not easy to grasp, and it is difficult to find someone to play him. After Wu Mei finished speaking, the room was quiet.

Li Hong, who was a little confused, didn't understand why the queen mother came here, and also talked about Yang Guang in the previous dynasty?

However, when I heard the last sentence, I already knew in my heart, "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", this is the story that I originally told to Gentleness, and later it was passed on by Gentleness in the palace, and this is a story that is beneficial to the Tang royal family, so Yan Lingbin moved the idea of stories such as "The Legend of the White Snake" again, and wanted to compile "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" into an opera.

No wonder the queen mother is here, and she doesn't let herself disturb Yan Lingbin, if it weren't for Pei Wanying talking about it today, she didn't plan to come over, but she didn't expect to hear this scene as soon as she came over.

"Then what do you think of the queen mother, it's just ...... that this Emperor Yang was given a vicious name."

"I can't talk about it, but it's somewhat ridiculous to want to define a person's life with a nickname. Yang Guang's queen Xiao Shi, although the country was broken and displaced, was robbed by those heroes back then, and finally Yang Guang's grandson Yang Zhengdao depended on each other, Emperor Taizong welcomed Xiao back to Chang'an, died in Zhenguan 21 years, and was ordered by Emperor Taizong to be buried with Yang Guang in Yangzhou. But when she was the queen, Yang Guang was obedient to her, even if people said that Yang Guang was greedy for beauty and sang songs every night, but Xiao's status in Yang Guang's heart was irreplaceable by the three thousand beauties of the harem. So as a woman, from a woman's point of view, do you think Yang Guang is good or bad? In Empress Xiao's eyes, is her husband Yang Guang really just a faint gentleman with merit but no virtue? ”
