On the day and night when Du Youlin slept with his head covered, a lot of things happened. The DPRK and the Central Committee did not just vacate a seat as the right minister because Yang Guozhong was killed, Wei Jiansu also took the initiative to take responsibility for An Lushan's rebellion and resigned as the left minister, so the two prime ministers in the political hall were all vacated! Although before this, each generation of the Tang Dynasty often appointed three or four or even more prime ministers at the same time, but Li Longji has mostly adopted the system of two prime ministers since the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, one is the first and the other, although there are occasional exceptions, but the extra prime minister will leave his post for various reasons when he is not long.

Therefore, the one with the highest voice today is Du Shiyi, who has long been expected to return because of his military exploits and the three grades under the same Zhongshu Sect! But yesterday morning, Du Shiyi resolutely refused to accept it, and instead recommended Pei Kuan, the imperial historian. I also know that Pei Kuan of course resolutely refused, but Du Shiyi was forced to temporarily preside over the political affairs hall on the grounds that the rebels were in turmoil, the Son of Heaven was sick, and state affairs could not be handled by anyone.

When Du Youlin learned about this series of experiences from the mouth of the cadre, and when he came to Jingzhao Mansion, he was in vain. Pei Kuan was not here, but went to the political hall, and even his father Du Shiyi had already left, it is said that he went to the forbidden garden in the palace to prepare soldiers and horses, go to fight the rebels, and by the way make room for the forbidden army that is about to return. Faced with such news, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately hurried to Daming Palace. If the son has just come back today, he can't be a director at all when he is sick, so even if Du Youlin is just a Guanglu Cheng, the temporary waist card when he was in charge of guarding Chang'an is still valid, and he finally entered the palace safe and sound.

When he finally came to Zuoyintaimen, where Zuo Longwu Army and Zuo Yulin Army were stationed in the past, he suddenly heard a loud echo of harmony. Following the prestige, he saw the banner waving, the phalanx of the pawns neatly and solemnly, and the one who spoke in the high place was the servant Gu Huai'en. He was not too familiar with the brave general under his father's command, and he stood and listened at the moment, and heard that the other party did not focus on exaggerating the reward after the counterinsurgency, but started from Du Shiyi's previous kindness to the Han in the army, and encouraged the loyalty of the soldiers and called for a decisive battle with the rebels in the coming days. It wasn't until he finished listening that he summoned a pawn standing guard, and then he asked his father at the right silver platform gate.

Compared with the vicinity of the right Yintai Gate, which has a sandwich road leading directly to Xingqing Palace, the left Yintai Gate on the west side of the Forbidden Garden is only stationed in Azler's forward battalion. After the night's bloody battle before the siege of Chang'an and the decisive battle the next day, Azler's forward battalion was reduced by nearly 30%, making a great achievement, and Tian Qianzhen, a powerful general among the rebels, suffered a lot. At this moment, his face was full of joy when he came to greet Du Youlin in person.

Although Du Youlin and Azler are not as familiar as their brother, they are not formal, and immediately quipped: "I see you are so happy, but what great benefits has Grandpa given you?" ”

"What's the matter, I was just scolded by the handsome man with a head and face." Azler saw Du Youlin's eyes widen, obviously not convinced, so he said with a smile, "But Dashuai officially accepted me as a righteous son today!" ”

Du Youlin was suddenly shocked, and then laughed: "Grandpa finally opened this mouth, then I will have to call you Brother in the future!" ”

The festival marshal accepts the righteous son, which is a common thing in the major border towns, for example, An Lushan's righteous son is enough for 10,000 people, he can't even remember the name himself, in fact, it's just a name, in front of An Lushan's biological sons, that is, like a subordinate, even if An Zhongzhi is favored. Du Shiyi has never opened this opening, and there are less than ten people around her who have given the surname Du, and there is no official title of father and son. Therefore, hearing Du Youlin's brother, Azler only felt that the pores all over his body seemed to be stretched, and then quickly shook his head and said: "How dare I do this, Xiao Langjun is too polite!" ”

"Over the years, my eldest brother and I have not been by Grandpa's side, you have followed the southern expedition and the northern war before and after the saddle, and you have done more filial piety than us, Grandpa has officially accepted you as a righteous son, why shouldn't I be this brother?" Du Youlin suddenly stopped his steps as he spoke, and gave Azler a deep look, so panicked that the other party hurriedly dodged to the side, and returned the courtesy. He helped Azler up, and then said sincerely, "Even if the eldest brother is here at this moment, he will definitely recognize you as a brother." ”

Azler was brought back by Du Guangyuan when he went to the Fuyun Temple in Zhongshou City, thinking about the temperament of the eldest son, he knew that what Du Youlin said was by no means a lie. But the more this is the case, the more he feels the warm current surging in his heart, and when he continues to walk forward with Du Youlin, he whispers: "The parents of the one who gave birth to me, the righteous father who taught me, can have today, all of them are given by the righteous father, as long as the righteous father says a word, even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely obey, please rest assured Xiao Langjun!" ”

As he said this vulgar sentence, Azler glanced in the direction of Xingqing Palace. Seeing this scene, Du Youlin's heart jumped, and he immediately understood the meaning of his loyalty. However, even if he has accepted his father's various methods, he has been completely disappointed in Li Longji, the son of heaven, but if he wants to kill the king, there is still a ditch in his heart that is difficult to cross. Therefore, he did not pick up Azler's words, but instead diverted the topic and asked: "I came from Zuoyintaimen, and I saw that General Fugu was reorganizing the army, and Grandpa was also reorganizing the army with you?" ”

"Xiao Langjun thinks that why did my father-in-law scold me just now? is to scold me for being too big, even if there are all dead soldiers in the forward battalion, I shouldn't be such a loser. If it weren't for the fact that I was now in wartime, and I had finally made a meritorious service, he would have beaten my military stick to make an example! Azler said this, but Azler smiled on his face, "Therefore, I will not follow the expedition this time, but will be stationed in Chang'an." Although I only have more than 1,000 people left here, but after two battles in a row, presumably the people in Chang'an City all know that I am crazy, and if they want to take down my more than 1,000 people, then they have to prepare tens of thousands of people to fill it! ”

Speaking of this, seeing Du Youlin gasp, Azler said lightly: "As for the father-in-law, he is inspecting the horses in the Wyvern Stable. ”

The Flying Dragon Stable once occupied an important place in the history of the Tang Dynasty. During the Wu Zhou period, the Empress Wu chose the palace to be good at equestrian servants, and used the royal horses raised in the Flying Dragon Courtyard to create an inner flying dragon horse, which was under the jurisdiction of the Flying Dragon Envoy, and in the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, the Flying Dragon Envoy was subordinate to the idle stable envoy, but more often it was transferred by the eunuchs, such as Gao Lishi had mobilized the Flying Dragon Armor Rider that year. But when the Son of Heaven fled westward, the Wyvern rode with him, and now although the Wyvern cannot be said to be empty, the remaining horses are only old, weak, sick and disabled.

Azler sent Du Youlin here and quietly retreated. Seeing that familiar back figure was standing in front of a stable, Du Youlin only felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and it was easy to reach a few steps away from his father's back, he opened his mouth, but only let out a low scream.

"Grandpa."

"Youlin, do you know how many horses there were in the palace when the six stables were at their peak?"

This question was not in Du Youlin's preparation, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied uncertainly: "There should be thousands of horses, right?" ”

"You are still too conservative in your estimate, there were no less than 10,000 imperial horses at the peak, but that was when Wang Maozhong was alive."

Du Shiyi said without looking back: "I have a deep hatred with Wang Maozhong, and although this person is arrogant, there is no one in front of him, and his methods are vicious, but in raising horses, at least in the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years, no one can stand out." When he first took over the internal and external stables, he even set up his home on the side of the stables, from the grass fed to the horses, to the corn, to the horses, and strictly controlled, so that no one dared to steal or sell them, or they were shoddy, so His Majesty thought that he could. After him, the quantity and quality of the stables deteriorated. Except for the façade dressing up at the annual archery show, everything else is the same thing. ”

Du Shiyi turned around at this time, and when he saw Du Youlin looking at him puzzled, he asked with a smile: "You have made a lot of contributions to guarding Chang'an this time, and Dr. Pei strongly recommends you." Juxian does not avoid relatives, I plan to play you as a servant and a young secretary, and I also know the internal and external idle stables, the pastoral envoy, are you willing? ”

If Jiang Du was here, he would blurt out a question, isn't this a horse breeder? Du Youlin was also a little puzzled, and he subconsciously asked, "Grandpa, Youyan doesn't mention it for the time being, over the years, there have been countless horses in exchange for the Dongshou Surrender City and the Yunzhou Horse Market, and there has never been a shortage. Is it because after this decisive battle with the rebels, the loss of horses must be great, so Grandpa wants to reorganize the palace stables and pastoral supervisors in various places to prevent a shortage of horses in the army in the future? ”

"That's half right." Du Shiyi was extremely satisfied with this young son. Maybe he doesn't have the talent of Du Guangyuan in martial arts and military strategy, and he still needs to hone in the overall situation, but he is responsible, willing to think about others, and dares to fight at critical moments, which is really rare. Therefore, beckoning Du Youlin to step forward a little more, he said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I don't want you to be an empty stableman, I want you and Azler to train this flying dragon rider for me again!" At the beginning, the four hundred people set by the Empress of Heaven were not enough, at least four thousand had to be compiled! ”

"Huh?" Du Youlin suddenly realized. Think about what Azler just said to himself that the forward battalion has been reduced by 40%, and he has to point this out. But what he didn't expect was that his father looked at him and smiled slightly, clearly confident.

"This time, at your call, the rebels who defended Chang'an with all their might, I remember that there were tens of thousands, and it was by these people who fought bloodily that this Chang'an City standing majestically on the side of Weishui is now there! In addition to rewarding with gold and silver, rewarding military positions is also an exciting method. Since you were busy caring for the dead and wounded before, why don't you comfort the living? At that time, let alone the flying dragon riders of 4,000 people, I am afraid that the quota of 6,000 people and 8,000 people may not be used up! ”

Although Du Shiyi only said that he was recruiting the meritorious soldiers who defended the city to enter the Flying Dragon Cavalry, Du Youlin really understood at this time that this was also to wash away the group of rebels brought out by Bai Chibi! Although in the brutal siege war, such a group of people was sharply reduced to only five hundred, but after the tempering of life and death, how can a loyal person not give a good arrangement?

"Grandpa, don't worry, I understand!"
