Chapter 10 Recruitment (2)

After Li Jiancheng saw the "Book of Storage on Both Sides of the Canal", he was in a good mood, and then another letter attracted Li Jiancheng's attention -- "Please Your Majesty to Strengthen the Garrison in Guangzhou". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Li Jiancheng spread out the "Book of Asking Your Majesty to Strengthen the Garrison in Guangzhou", and read it carefully:

'Your Majesty, Guangzhou is located in Lingnan, bordering the South China Sea, the confluence of the East River, the West River, and the North River, known as Ren Huan City, Chu Ting, Panyu in ancient times, was built at the end of the Qin Dynasty, for the former Qin Dynasty general Zhao Tuo built, from the north and south confrontation, Xiao Liang began to divide the south, Guangzhou became the main port of the famous maritime Silk Road in the Central Plains, to the establishment of Li Tang, became the largest port in China. Guangzhou often moored the merchant ships from the Arabian area who came to the Central Plains to do business, and at the beginning, because in order to pacify the Jianghuai, Li Jiancheng recommended Li Jing to Li Yuan, and named Li Jing as the ambassador of Lingnan Province, the deputy commander of the Jianghuai Road march, and entered Tunxuanzhou (Zhixuancheng, now Anhui) and other states to Jiao (Zhijiaozhi, northwest of Hanoi City, Vietnam), Guang (Zhinanhai, now Guangzhou City), Quan (Zhiyuanfeng, now Fuzhou City), Gui (Zhishi'an, now Guilin City, Guangxi) and other states entered Tunxuanzhou (Zhixuancheng, now Anhui); made the Lingnan area empty, Lingnan's Ning Changzhen took the opportunity to occupy Jiaozhi, Guizhou and other places, if it weren't for the strength of Lingnan Feng Yang, there were other slang natives, eyeing the back, so he didn't continue to attack Guangzhou and Quanzhou, however, now Ning Changzhen has moved himself from the cave into the mansion, and listening to the news sent by Gong Qiuning from Lingnan, Ning Changzhen is already dreaming of the king of Lingnan, Guangzhou is in danger. At the beginning, Li Jiancheng had already noticed this problem, but because he was only a prince at the beginning, not an emperor, and Li Yuan had always regarded the Lingnan area as a wild place, he paid little attention to it, coupled with the later Xuanwumen change and the Turkic army in Guanzhong, Li Jiancheng slowly forgot the problem of Lingnan. Now, being mentioned, Li Jiancheng has slowly returned to his own train of thought. ’

"Haha, yes, all good! Hahaha! Li Jiancheng's personal eunuch heard Li Jiancheng's laughter, and immediately stepped forward to wait for Li Jiancheng to give orders:

"Mingyu, you immediately check where the source of these two letters is, and immediately find the person who wrote the letter." After Mingyu's father-in-law heard Li Jiancheng's words, he immediately went out for a while, and when Mingyu's father-in-law came back, he replied to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has found out that the "Warehouse Book on Both Sides of the Canal" is the book of Master Chang He, the doctor of Taizhong, and the "Book of Asking Your Majesty to Strengthen the Garrison in Guangzhou" is the book of Lord Shi Liuxun, the governor of Nankang Prefecture." Hearing the names of Chang He and Liu Xun, Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Oh! It turned out to be Chang He and Liu Xun's book. Li Jiancheng is not surprised that Liu Xun can be on such a book, Liu Xun, the word Sidao, a native of Jiangling, Jingzhou (now Jiangling, Hubei), the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the great-grandson of Liu Zhixuan, the official secretary of the Southern Liang Dynasty. Liu Xun was born in Nanyang Liu, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was the Huangmen squire of the Xiao Milling regime, and after the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as the governor of Nankang Prefecture, Shizhong, Zhishu Shiyushi, Shangshu Youcheng, Huangmen Shilang, Shizhong, Fengqingyuan County male, known for his direct advice. Hum! Liu Xun was born in an aristocratic family and has been an official for a long time, so there is no objection to being able to write such a book, but Chang He is different, Chang He, a native of Yi County, Bianzhou, is from Wen County, Hanoi. In his early years, he participated in the Wagang Army, followed Li Mi to kill the Sui Dynasty general Zhang Xutuo, and later took refuge in Wang Shichong of Luoyang, and once followed Li Jiancheng to Hebei to ask Liu Heimin. After entering the Tang Dynasty, the official became the Zhonglang general. Responsible for the guard of Xuanwu Gate, and was later co-opted by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, it can be said that Li Shimin dared to set up an ambush in Xuanwu Gate, because of the assistance of this Xuanwu Gate guard, so, after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, Chang He's Zhonglang was removed from his post and changed to the civil official position of Taizhong Doctor. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng said with a smile:

"Humph! This master behind Chang He, I must meet him! Mingyu, spread my will, immediately recruited Chang He into the palace to face the saint, in addition, sent a special envoy to Nankangzhou, and transferred the governor of Nankangzhou, Lord Shi Liuxun, into Beijing to face the saint! "Father-in-law Mingyu took the order and left.

Chang'an, the residence of Taizhong Doctor Chang He. Taizhong Doctor Chang He has been waiting for news from the palace:

"Hey! I really don't know what Your Majesty will think of the official's letter when it is sent? "Chang He's family is poor, he hasn't read anything since he was a child, he only knows that he fights chickens and lackeys with the scoundrels in this township, and runs rampant in the township, later, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty Yang Guang lost his way, Wagang Li Mi rioted, Chang He followed Li Mi to kill the Sui Dynasty general Zhang Xutuo, and later took refuge in Luoyang Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong entered the Tang Dynasty after his defeat, Li Shimin originally wanted to include Chang He in the door, but Chang He wanted to go to the next level, did not completely enter Li Shimin's camp, but said goodbye to Li Shimin, asked Chang'an for officials, and later Li Jiancheng wanted to pacify the Hebei rebellion, Chang He recommended himself to join the army, and once followed Li Jiancheng to Hebei to ask Liu Heimin. Because of the meritorious officer, he will be in the middle of the general. He was recommended to defend the Xuanwu Gate. Originally, Chang He thought that he would spend a dull time from now on, who knows, two nights before the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, came to find Chang He himself.

"What? His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you want to set up an ambush at the Xuanwu Gate to ambush the prince? This, this...... How can this be...... No, no! Li Shimin smiled:

"General Chang He, what's wrong with you at this time? Why are you so nervous? ”

"Your Highness, this is a capital crime! Your Highness! The eldest grandson Wuji sneered:

"General Chang He, do you think you can stay out of the matter? To tell you the truth, since you sat on this Xuanwu Gate to guard the general, the prince's eyes have been staring at you......" Chang He looked at Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson Wuji with a puzzled face:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Lord Eldest Sun, what do you mean by this?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked the servant to bring a person, but Chang He saw that the person was covered in blood, and he was obviously severely punished:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Lord Eldest Sun, this person is ......"

"What? General Chang He doesn't know him anymore, take a closer look! Chang He took a closer look at the person:

"His Royal Highness King Qin, Lord Eldest Sun, this person was originally the concierge of our family, but there was something at home recently, so I asked for leave to go home, but I don't know why he came into the hands of His Highness." Li Shimin, the king of Qin, sneered:

"Huh! The gatekeeper in General Chang He's mansion, you come to tell him, who are you? After the man saw Chang He, he immediately hugged Chang He's thigh and said:

"The general saves me, the general saves me......" Li Shimin, the king of Qin, kicked at the man:

"Bastard, don't tell the truth until now!" After speaking, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, took out a token from his arms:

"General Chang He, look at what this is?" Chang He looked at the token carefully - the front of the token said Donggong Walking, and on the back was written Qilin Secret Guard. Chang He looked at Li Shimin and wondered in his heart:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Lord Eldest Sun, I don't understand, what is this Qilin Secret Guard, and what does it have to do with the Prince's East Palace?" The eldest grandson Wuji explained to Chang He:

"This Qilin Secret Guard is a secret guard organization formed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly with the East Palace guards as the main body, and then recruiting masters from the rivers and lakes. It's also a sharp knife that my eldest brother is secretly wielding. Once targeted by the Qilin Secret Guard, anyone is afraid that death is not far away! As soon as he heard the words "not far from death", Chang He's face showed a cold sweat. At this time, the person who was escorted by Li Shimin immediately scolded Li Shimin:

"Humph! Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Chang He, you three traitors and thieves, vainly trying to rebel against His Royal Highness the Prince, Lao Tzu is the guard of His Royal Highness the Prince, you chaotic ministers and thieves, you collude together, these are all evidence......" The man struggled to throw himself at Chang He, and suddenly, he saw that person vomiting blood, and a sharp knife was exposed in his chest. Chang He was also shocked when he saw such a tragic scene.

"Lord Eldest Sun, you are ......"

"General Chang He, this person has already decided that we are colluding with the general, if we don't kill people, I'm afraid that you and I will not be far away, and now, since this person has been killed, the general will also sit in the same boat with us. General, you just say yes! As he spoke, Eldest Sun Wuji asked someone to bring over a few large boxes, and Eldest Sun Wuji opened the big boxes:

"Lord Chang He, these small gifts are from our Highness to you. If you don't accept it, even if our prince takes these things back, I'm afraid the general won't be able to get out of today's matter! Chang He looked at the boxes—they were full of gold and jewelry, and the light that emitted irritated Chang He's eyes.

"General Chang He, you are by my eldest brother's side, time is not short! Why is he still a little Zhonglang general!? Li Shimin's voice was like the temptation of the devil, stirring Chang He's heart, Chang He was because he felt that the future of the crown prince Li Jiancheng would definitely be greater than the future of a vassal king. Who knows, when he came to His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't have a sense of prominence at all except for his bravery, and Chang He was also dissatisfied with the three rising stars Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Di Renjie - he was in a high position at a young age, and he was desperate on the battlefield, but he was still just a martial artist, and the name of the general guarding the Xuanwu Gate was good, but in the eyes of others, he was just a watchdog who watched the door for the Li Tang royal family. And the grade is low. Chang He's demeanor was in the eyes of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Shimin continued to bewitch:

"General Chang He, life in the world, is just four words of fame and fortune, at the beginning, you were not willing to serve under the command of this king, go to my eldest brother, but what did you end up with, here is a thousand taels of gold and 300,000 taels of jewelry, not much, just a little meaning. Of course, when the time comes, if we succeed, when the time comes, once the king ascends the throne, he will be crowned the general as the prince of the country, and when the time comes, he will share the wealth with the general! Li Shimin's words completely shook Chang He's determination, and Chang He went down to Li Shimin:

"Your Highness, Chang He is careful to obey His Highness's orders." Originally, Chang He thought that he had embarked on a broad road, who knew that everything was empty, on the night of the Xuanwumen Change, Qin King Li Shimin did not kill the prince Li Jiancheng, but was calculated by Li Jiancheng, after knowing the truth, Chang He immediately felt that Li Jiancheng was unfathomable, and immediately became afraid, and dismissed all the family members in the mansion, and stayed in the mansion to wait for the crime. Later, Li Jiancheng's subordinates arrested Chang He in the name of colluding with the King of Qin, and Chang He was also in the prison, and after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he issued an amnesty, but Chang He was transferred from Zhonglang to the civil official of Taizhong Doctor. Chang He has been thinking about how to redeem his trust in Li Jiancheng's heart. Now, Li Jiancheng issued an order to let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military offer advice, Chang He immediately asked his diner staff to write a book for himself, and picked out a copy of what he thought was the best handwriting and sent it.

"Hey! I hope this letter can impress the emperor! ”
