Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shimin is a workaholic, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and he is still studying the issue of military reform. The military department Shang Shu Fang Xuanling, the general Li Jing and the right general Hou Junji discussed together.

After listening to Li Shimin's military reform plan, Li Jing and Hou Junji understood why the emperor so readily agreed to implement the conscription system.

They really admired the emperor, and this kind of democratic centralism in which the army practiced both military and political chiefs and principal officers served as committee members, was really a good way to control the army.

They were also very happy.

As generals, what they are most worried about is being suspicious of the emperor, and there are countless generals who have died tragically on it in history. The emperor found a way to control the army, and the emperor was relieved, and they, as generals, were also relieved.

Li Shimin and others studied for a morning and basically completed the main layout of the Tang army, and there were too many other problems, and they couldn't finish it a year ago.

Li Shimin was also embarrassed to study it anymore, he said: "Okay, that's it for this year, let's go back and have a good year." ”

Everyone took their leave and went out.

Li Jing and Fang Xuanling walked out side by side. On the way, Li Jing asked: "This method of democratic centralism is really a good method, and now, those of us who are generals will have a better life." Who came up with this solution, it's really amazing. ”

Li Jing knew that it was definitely not the emperor's idea, because the emperor had always implemented the government military system. This time, Li Jing secretly supported the generals in making trouble, and it was precisely because Li Shimin opposed the conscription system and could not safeguard the interests of the military that they had no choice but to take the risk.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed: "Who would have thought that such an idea." Alas, I'm really old, and I'm really not as young as I am. ”

Li Jing said: "I understand, it's the Liang King Li Su." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Li Jing said: "This time to pacify the grassland, His Royal Highness the King of Liang is really admirable, he actually ventured deep into the grassland with his own strength, helped the princess of the Tiele Department to seize the throne, and persuaded the Khan of the Tuli Department to assist the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Xue Yantuo Department. It can be said that he was the first to pacify the grassland this time.

This ability and courage is really admirable. Among the emperor's princes...... "Speaking of this, he looked around and didn't go any further."

Fang Xuanling knew that what he was going to say was that among Li Shimin's sons, His Royal Highness King Liang was the best. He smiled and understood.

Besides, Hou Junji, he didn't follow Li Jing and the others together, as if he had something to say.

Li Shimin asked, "Junji, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Hou Junji is the old man of the Qin Palace, in the Xuanwumen Incident, Hou Junji made great contributions, and in the later wars against the king from all walks of life, the credit was also the first person except for the general Li Jing. The relationship with Li Shimin is extremely close.

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask you for a favor. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Junji, you are my confidant, you are welcome, as long as I can do it, I will promise you." ”

Hou Junji said: "The minister's daughter Haitang is 14 years old this year, and the minister wants to ask you for a favor and marry your prince." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, which son do you have a crush on, is it the prince, Li Ke, or Li Tai?" ”

Hou Junji said: "The minister's daughter goes to school in an industrial school, and she has a lot of contact with His Royal Highness King Liang, and she is more familiar with it. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "This matter is difficult to do, not because I am unwilling, but because I am afraid that your daughter will not be willing." This child of mine has been pointed out to the daughter of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and he himself has also found the female khan of the Tiele tribe on the grassland. ”

Hou Junji said: "The minister already knows about this matter, when he was on the grassland, the affairs of His Royal Highness King Liang and Wuyun Khan were personally experienced by the ministers. The minister also told Haitang, but Haitang was still willing to marry His Royal Highness King Liang.

The minister only has this one daughter, and the minister is a father, so he has to follow her heart. ”

Li Shimin said: "That's it, I agree with this matter, about the issue of status, specific things, you yourself and King Liang discussed, what do you think?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, and thank the emperor instead of Begonia." ”

The Chenghui Hall where Concubine Yang lived.

"Woe." Concubine Yang said: "After the New Year, you will be 15 years old, and it is time to marry." ”

Li Su said: "Mother, the son-in-law is only 15 years old, let's put the matter of marrying along, what's the matter, I have to wait for the son-in-law to be 20 years old, right?" ”

Concubine Yang said: "You are nonsense, not all men in the Tang Dynasty got married at the age of 15-6, besides, your dark cloud khan is 14 years old, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Su said: "Let's talk about it when she is 18 years old." ”

"You." Concubine Yang didn't quarrel with him, and said: "When will the dark clouds come to Chang'an, let the concubine take a look?" ”

Li Su said: "She just took over the Khan, there are a lot of things on the grassland, for a while, she can't pull away, wait for the grassland to settle down, let her come." ”

It's the New Year, Li Su came to accompany Concubine Yang, and the mother and son chatted chattering.

At this time, it was reported outside that Li Shimin was coming.

Li Shimin saw Li Su and said: "Su'er, it just so happens that you are here, please tell you something, my father cares about you, and he has set a family business for you." ”

"Ah, what?" Li Su's head suddenly became bigger. He said, "Father, what are you doing here? You obviously know that your son already has Wuyun and Ning'er, and it's only been a few days, and you have set up a family affair for your son, which is too much, right? ”

Concubine Yang was accustomed to Li Shimin's domineering, and she was not angry.

Li Shimin straightened his face and said, "Are you my son?" ”

Li Su said: "Yes, what does this have to do with the marriage? ”

Li Shimin said: "You are my son, you have to share my worries, Hou Junji is my confidant and courtier, he clearly proposed to marry his daughter Haitang to you, how can you let me refuse, huh?" This is a holy decree, do you dare to resist it? ”

Li Shimin really couldn't refuse Hou Junji, he didn't slap people in the face, Hou Junji offered to marry his daughter, Li Shimin didn't agree, he just didn't give face, and slapped Hou Junji's face.

Li Su's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Shimin saw that his son gave in. changed his face and said with a smile: "That's right, it's your duty to be a son to share your father's worries." Besides, that kid from Begonia, how good-looking, a very good girl, is more than enough for you. The matter was settled. ”

"Damn, it's really hard to say anything about such a dad on the stall." Li Su was really helpless and speechless.
