Chapter 30: The Royal
After a few days of rest, I practiced martial arts at home, teasing the princess, it was so comfortable and leisurely, it was a small long vacation, or the Tang Dynasty was good, there were scenery everywhere, there was leisure everywhere, and the most important thing was that there was no traffic jam, hehe.
Tong Qing came in and reported, "The head of the house, you have prepared your things and are ready to go." ”
Li De got up and walked out of the gate, got on his horse and walked first, and the next few carts followed behind him and walked towards the palace. The car was full of good things prepared by Li De for Li Er and his family during this time, and his father had not entered the palace for a long time, so he just brought these over. Since the chairs and benches made in his palace have been sent to the palace, many people have been blushing, who is willing to kneel and sit every day with such good furniture, and the bed is more comfortable than which hard and bluster, especially the big dragon bed he customized for Li Er, it is estimated that his second brother has been cool I don't know how many times, but unfortunately he didn't find cotton, otherwise it would be all together if he got a few quilts.
A group of people and horses marched towards the palace, inevitably the eyes of the surrounding people.
"Whose noble family is this going out, so many carts, the person who walked in front first rode a tall horse. At first glance, he is a big official. ”
"Come on, you old thing, you don't see a big Li character on someone's carriage,. It must be a relative of the emperor. ”
"You don't know, I can tell you, this is His Majesty's younger brother, His Royal Highness the newly crowned King Wei, Prince of the Tang Dynasty"
"King Wei, why haven't you heard of it, is it the illegitimate son of the Emperor Taishang who is in exile among the people?"
"I don't know, this is the son of the Emperor Taishang, the younger brother of His Majesty's mother, Li Yuanba, have you heard of it, don't look at him now, I heard people say, this was a god in the past, a figure who was able to rival the world, that is an invincible opponent all over the world, and even the Tianbao General Yuwen CD was torn by this Shengsheng."
"Oh, character, I heard it when I was young, didn't I be struck by lightning, what's the matter?"
"This talented person, let him come back to life, it must be God's favor that let him come to our Tang Dynasty again, and he must deal with those Turkic barbarians,"
"That's right, those Turkic dogs really deserve to be killed, my in-laws' son and daughter-in-law Doll, even if they are doing business in the north, the Turkic dogs will be killed in the grass valley, I hope Your Majesty will send troops to the Turks as soon as possible, and they can't be so rampant anymore."
Li De rode on the horse and heard clearly, although his identity was a bit mysterious, he could finally get around, and when he heard the murderous flash in the Turkic eyes, the people hated the Turks deeply This time we must solve the grassland problem once and for all, but we can't beat away the Huns like Han Wu, this is the Turks again. There are also the later Hui, Khitan, Privet, and Mongolia, which caused immeasurable damage to the Central Plains.
Li Shimin was reviewing the recital on the bookcase, when a person dressed as a guard came over and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have arranged for a hundred horsemen to enter the Beiwei Army, this is the information currently collected, please read it." ”
Li Shimin took the information and saw Su Dingfang at a glance, Ma Zhou and the others asked, "This Su Dingfang, but what about Liu Heimin's generals?" ”
The person came back and said, "It's him, who has been made a general by King Wei, in charge of army training." ”
Li Shimin thought that although this person had fought against him, he had to say that he was still a talent, skilled in martial arts, and experienced in leading soldiers, but when he thought of the love general Luo Shixin dying at the hands of Liu Heimin, it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy, but now that the dynasty has changed, it is his world, and as the master of the Tang Dynasty, he will not deliberately target, and it is a good thing to be favored by Li Dexiang, Li Shimin of course knows that Li Jing accepted Su Dingfang as an apprentice and passed on the art of war, and this Su Dingfang's future future is limitless.
Then he asked, "Do you know who this Ma Zhou is?" ”
The man said, "According to the investigation, this person was born in a poor family, and was raised as a guest by General Chang He before, and General Chang He appreciated his talent before recommending this person to go to the Beiwei Army, and was named Changshi by King Wei at a glance. ”
Li Shimin playfully said, "Oh." Actually, it seems that this person must have splendor, Chang He is a cautious person, and he should not be wrong. ”
The man said, "At present, there are 5,000 training personnel in the Beiwei Army, and the training intensity can exceed that of all the troops that my subordinates have ever seen,"
After listening to this, Li Shimin said, "It seems that the third child is very serious, so he will definitely be able to train an elite soldier, but I don't know what the combat strength is, and I will know when the army is formed, you can arrange someone to explain it clearly, I just want to know the movements of the Beiwei army, but I don't want you to listen to King Wei, don't do it, you know,." That's my own brother, so I don't need to guard against him,"
The person who came solemnly said, "I will obey Your Majesty's will, and my subordinates understand." ”
Li De and his entourage came to the palace and instructed Tong Qing to send all the things he brought, he wanted to see Li Er first, and when he walked to the door of the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin's personal eunuch Liu San trotted forward and asked, "His Royal Highness King Wei, are you here to see Your Majesty?"
Li De said, "Yes, there is a report from Father-in-law Lao,"
Liu San said, "Your Highness, you have already said something, you don't need to report and enter the palace directly, you don't know that Your Majesty is looking forward to your coming,"
Li De: "Aren't I busy, this time is coming, but Your Majesty is busy?" ”
Liu San smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in the study to review the recital, and the old slave will lead you in."
The eunuch Liu San took Li De to the door of the study and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei has arrived," ”
Li Shimin looked up at Liu San, and Li De was standing next to him and laughed, "You guy finally seems to have seen me, come in and sit."
Li De thanked Liu San and went to the study to sit down, and saw that there was still a person standing in front of Li Shimin, who looked like a guard, and looked at Li Shimin with puzzled eyes.
Li Shimin willingly introduced him, "Third brother, let me introduce you, this is the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, Cao Bin." ”
"Subordinate Cao Bin, meet Your Highness."
"Lord Cao is very polite,"
Li Shimin wanted Cao Bin to retreat, but was stopped by Li De.
Li Shimin asked, "Third brother, what's the matter with coming to the palace today?"
Li De: "Why can't I come to see you if it's okay, I brought something good." ”
Li Shimin: "Oh, yes, there, show me,"
Li De took out a small bottle and handed it to him, Li Shimin took it, "Is this a bottle of wine?" I opened the bottle and smelled "so heavy wine"
Li De reminded him, "Don't drink it, although it is made of wine, but you can't drink it, it will kill people." ”
Li Shimin was puzzled, "I can't drink it, what are you doing for me?" I really want to take a sip as soon as I smell it."
Li De said, "Don't worry, there must be wine, I promise it's better than what you drink in the palace, this is another wine I made called alcohol, this thing has a great effect,"
"It can be disinfected, reduce high fever, and can also be used for battlefield trauma to avoid wind evil entering the body and wound festering. You say it's not very useful."
Li Shimin was shocked when he led the troops, "It's really so powerful, then hurry up and increase the production, this is about to be a big battle, this thing will reduce the death of the wounded and maintain combat effectiveness, third brother, how do you want me to support it, I will give an order immediately"
Li De said, "Second brother, you don't have to worry, the workshop is ready to produce, I and Cheng Yanjin worked together, in addition to preparing to sell wine, this alcohol is even if we contribute to the country and the soldiers, today it happens that General Cao is here, I have something for him to do"
Cao Bin immediately responded: "I don't know what Your Highness needs your subordinates to do?" ”
Li De looked at him and said, "As far as I have heard, General Cao's hundred horsemen are all experts in reconnaissance and visitation, and I want to ask General Cao to find Sun Simiao, Sun Zhenren, this person is of great significance to us." ”
Cao Bin heard Li De say this and knew what he meant, he Cao Bin is the secret agent, what he said is a hundred horses, in fact, he is the most disgusting person, who likes to be stared at by them for a day, if he let the hundred officials know that even they go to the thatched house and which concubine makes love to the hundred horses, he will probably be killed. Awkwardly turned his head to look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin asked, "Third brother, I know this Sun Simiao, but the Tang Dynasty Divine Doctor, I still want to ask him to show the queen her wind disease, but his whereabouts are ethereal, are you looking for this person?" ”
Li De said, "Second brother, this Sun Simiao has the ability to cure diseases and save people, and I can give him this alcohol to play the greatest role." I also want him to help build a set of health and epidemic prevention standards that can be effective for the army and the people, and implement them all over the world. So"
Li Shimin nodded and instructed Cao Bin, "Cao Bin, you will listen to the orders of King Wei, immediately send out scouts, and be sure to find Sun Simiao and bring them back." ”
Cao Bin was ordered to retreat.
Li Shimin said to Li De, "Third brother, you have made meritorious service again, say, whatever you want, the second brother will meet you, but you will give me a surprise once you come." ”
Li De said to Li Shimin, "Second brother, look at what you said, you have supported me in forming a back army, what do I do if I do something." By the way, I'll just tell you, I've appointed a general and a long history, and there is a Sima here, do you have a good candidate? ”
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed and didn't know that Li De would say this, he must have seen Cao Bin's identity just now and was worried, so he said this, Li Shimin was about to explain that Li De didn't have to be so careful, the two of them were younger brothers.
Li De then said, "Second brother, I know what you have to say, although I am your own brother, but this military power cannot be taken lightly, last time I also told you that the military power should be in the hands of the emperor, and my back army is an independent army and should be supervised, so that not only can I give an explanation to the courtiers, but also help me secretly look at one more insurance No, second brother, I will never think that you will guard against me, we are brothers."
Li Shimin was moved to hold Li De's hand, "Third brother, you will still think about me, yes, we are the closest brothers." ”
