Not long after Zhao Ziliang left, in the Zichen Palace, Li Longji was walking back and forth in the hall alone, and suddenly stopped and said: "Cheng Ying, you said that this Zhao Ziliang is really just a grass farmer?" Just two years of private school to be able to say such a profound insight? His insight into the current situation is amazing! ”

At this time, a man in a cloak suddenly appeared on the side of the courtyard pillar, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth: "The minister doesn't know, the minister only knows that this General Zhao's martial arts are unfathomable, and the murderous aura on his body is overwhelming, and he will never produce such a strong murderous aura if he does not kill thousands of people with his own hands, and the minister does not dare to move in the face of this murderous aura, otherwise he will be discovered, and in addition to the murderous aura, there is also a 'momentum' on his body, this is the might, this is the power that only the battle-hardened and loyal generals have!" In front of people like him, traitors are cowardly for three points."

"Oh?" When Li Longji heard the leaders of the secret guards around him say this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Then who is more powerful, you or him?" ”

The leader of the secret guard named Cheng Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you go head-to-head, the minister is only afraid that he will be killed if he can't stop his two moves, this person's strength is too strong, I am afraid that no one in this world can withstand his slash head-on, and he is not the kind of person who is born with divine power and clumsy movements, it can be seen from his walking that this person is not only born with divine power, but also has vigorous movements far beyond ordinary people; If the minister wants to assassinate him, there is only one percent chance of success! Judging from this person's words and style, he should be a loyal and brave person, but where the Ming monarch is the hero, there must be the assistance of the gods of the world, and now I am a fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no shortage of one or two fierce generals, but this Zhao Ziliang is completely different from others, he is a military general who can really reach the level of ten thousand enemies with personal force, even if Wang Zhonghei, Ge Shuhan and other fierce generals are not his opponents, this is Your Majesty's blessing! ”

"Hahaha・・・・・・" Li Longji was said by Cheng Ying. My heart turned upside down, and I laughed, "What you say also proves why he has been able to win many battles, even if he doesn't know the art of war and doesn't understand the battle formation, he can be invincible with his strength alone, not to mention that I also heard that he practiced martial arts and cavalry and archery during the day, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight when he read at night, and he was still very young, and his strength had not reached its peak." There should be a big increase, really waiting for him to enter the prime of life, I am afraid that there will be no rivals in the world, even if he has invincible martial arts, he can still insist on practicing martial arts diligently, studying diligently, cleaning himself, and then being demoted to guard the city gate but can still make achievements, this kind of seems, he is extremely determined, and he will never be easily shaken! This person can use it with confidence. And it's going to be useful, but he's still young, so there's no need to rush too much! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this good general!"

said that Zhao Ziliang had just walked out of the imperial city gate. I saw a young man who looked like a family man coming over and bowed his hand: "General Zhao, my lord of my family, please go over and talk about it."

Zhao Ziliang was a little strange, he had never had any contact with any officials in Chang'an City, and after weighing it. He asked, "I don't know your family's Taifu?" ”

The man said: "My lord is the old man of Zhongshu Linglin!" ”

It turned out to be Li Linfu, and Zhao Ziliang felt a little strange, and said in his heart that it stands to reason that Li Linfu's villain character will be repaid. His son has been locked up by himself for nearly two months, and this person should be able to give himself small shoes to wear, but all this time, this Li Linfu has not made any moves, is it because he is not up to grade in his eyes?

It's no wonder that Zhao Ziliang and Li Linfu are many levels apart in terms of official ranks, and they are not people at the same level at all, and it is reasonable for Li Linfu to disdain trouble with him, but what makes Zhao Ziliang puzzled is that now Li Linfu is sending someone to find him What is he going to do?

There is another thing that makes Zhao Ziliang feel very strange, this Li Linfu is also the official to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has no words, only the small characters are called brother slaves, the so-called small characters are milk names, nicknames. For example, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms, his small character is Apu, but he also has a word, Meng De.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous figures who only had names, and no words, so those generals didn't talk about it, they basically had no culture, and it was normal to have no words, like Li Linfu and Niu Xianke, who were important ministers of the Tang Dynasty at the prime minister's level, had no words, which made Zhao Ziliang not curious.

However, after Zhao Ziliang came to Chang'an for a period of time, he finally understood why some famous historical figures had no words, for many reasons, many of these people were originally from humble backgrounds and did not have a prominent family background, so there were no words, some people had a good family background, but because they were young and did not learn and wandered around, their parents and elders looked at their virtues, so they didn't bother to give them words, so as not to insult Swen, Yang Guozhong is in this case, it is estimated that Li Linfu was also this virtue when he was young, but some people came from humble backgrounds, but they also have words, That's because in general, their family is a scholarly family, and they themselves have talents.

"Please lead the way!"

"General Zhao, please come with the villain!"

The two came to a carriage, the door curtain was lifted, and an old face appeared behind the door curtain, this old face was a little thin, and his beard was a little gray, no wonder, Li Linfu was in his fifties and almost sixty years old, and he tried his best all day to grasp power, how could he not be old?

Before Zhao Ziliang could salute and speak, he saw Li Linfu and said with a smile: "General Zhao, the old man invited you over so abruptly, you won't mind, right?" ”

At this moment, Zhao Ziliang felt that Li Linfu's smile was so kind and close, and just when he was about to relax his vigilance, he suddenly became vigilant in his heart, because he remembered an idiom called 'mouth honey belly sword', and the protagonist of this idiom is talking about the old guy in front of him! It sounds good, but in fact, there is a sharp sword hidden in the stomach, ready to give it to you at any time.

Zhao Zi's conscience was vigilant, but he couldn't show it on his face, he could only pretend to smile and arch his hand: "I've seen Li Xiang, you won't be waiting for the last general here, right?" ”

"Not really! The old man made a special trip here to wait for General Zhao today! Li Linfu said with a smile.

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly bowed and shouted: "Oh, let Li Xiang make a special trip here to wait for the last general, the last general is really sorry, if Li Xiang has something, just send someone to call him!" You see that as the prime minister, you have a lot of opportunities, so letting you wait here also delay your official business, right? ”

The muscles on Li Linfu's old face twitched, and he still said with a smile: "The old man is here to wait for General Zhao to thank General Zhao, last time the dog Li Yu violated the ban, his guards carried prohibited weapons, and stayed in the left prison guard for two months to cause trouble to General Zhao!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked very useful, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Li Xiang will just discipline him more in the future!" After this incident, the last general thought that Li Xiang would give the last general small shoes to wear, but Li Xiang did not have the slightest movement, the prime minister really deserved to be the prime minister, and he could indeed support the boat in his belly, of course, Zhao Mou's relationship with Ling Lang is indeed like a family in your old eyes, you naturally disdain to worry about a reckless man like me, so as not to lose your identity for no reason, right? ”

The muscles on Li Linfu's face twitched even more, and he smiled: "Wherever General Zhao said, it was the old man who spoiled the sons under his knees, so that they even violated the ban in a lawless manner, and it was too late for the old man to thank General Zhao for punishing the old man!" ”

Zhao Zi had already scolded in his conscience, this Li Linfu was really a honey-bellied sword man, with a smile on his face, but he didn't know what the hell he was thinking in his heart. He said: "Li Xiang, if there is nothing else, the last general will leave first!" ”

Li Linfu immediately said: "Don't, in order to thank General Zhao for disciplining the children for the old man, the old man has already prepared a little thin wine in the house, and asked General Zhao to appreciate it?" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face changed when he heard this, and he leaned over and whispered: "Li Xiang, you want to invite me to your mansion, the last general is nothing, just a drink, but if the news of our private meeting is stabbed in the emperor's ears, some people in the court will think that Li Xiang is the prime minister, but privately meet with the general who was born and the current general of the left prison guard to impeach, although the last general has not been in the capital for a long time, he also knows that the current saint is very suspicious, I am afraid that Li Xiang's life will not be easy at that time!" ”

When Li Linfu heard Zhao Ziliang's words, his face also changed, and his hand holding the door curtain trembled, but he quickly calmed down and hurriedly smiled: "It's the old man who is not thoughtful, since this is the case, the old man will thank General Zhao another day!" The old man will go first, and General Zhao will go slowly."

Zhao Ziliang took two steps back and said with a smile: "Li Xiang walks slowly!" ”

The carriage moved forward slowly, in addition to Li Linfu, there was actually another person in the car, this is the Niu Cyclamen in the service, Niu Xianke is not only the service at this time, but also the secretary of the military department, and the twelve guards of the central army are under his jurisdiction.

At this time, the army of the Tang Dynasty mainly had three major systems, namely the border army, the central army and the forbidden army. The army recruitment, drills, weapons, armor, grain, grass, horses, etc. of the border guards are all responsible for the Jiedu envoys, and the imperial court sends auxiliary officials, in order to prevent the border generals from supporting the army and self-respect, the emperor also sent the palace eunuchs to serve as the envoys to supervise the army; The Central Army is mainly the 12 Guards, which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the 12 Guards are mainly deployed around Chang'an, but each of the 12 Guards is in charge of a number of Zhichong Mansions and government soldiers in various places, and a number of Zhichong Mansions in charge of the same Wei are not in the same state or province, but are scattered throughout the country, which is to prevent some generals from supporting their own troops; The forbidden army, on the other hand, was under the direct command of the emperor. Why is it said to be directly under the control, because the generals of the forbidden army are directly appointed by the emperor and do not need to go through the military department, and the generals of the border guards are appointed by the envoys of each section and then reported to the imperial court for approval. However, the envoys were appointed by the emperor, so it can be seen that the emperor's control over the border guards was far less than that of the forbidden army and the central army.
