Chapter 357: Hot Potato

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the talisman is the only token of the mobilization of the army, and a complete talisman is divided into two parts, one part is kept in the hands of the general who commands the army, and the other part is kept in the center.

And when every recruit enlists in the army, one of the compulsory courses is to identify the talisman, where the army needs to mobilize more than 500 people, all need to check the talisman, no soldier talisman does not come out, this is an iron law!

Most of the military talismans of the previous dynasty were in the shape of tigers, and the Tang Dynasty changed to fish talismans because of the avoidance of tigers!

This thing is more important than the Jieyue, after all, although the Jieyue can be cut first and then played, but only by holding the fish talisman can the army be mobilized.

The reason why it was so difficult for Li Hong to rebuild the six rates of the East Palace was because the other half of the fish talisman of the six rates of the entire East Palace was transferred to the East Palace, not in the imperial city.

And there are strict restrictions on the use of military talismans, although the talismans in this small box in front of him are not the total talismans that mobilize the world's army, but they are also enough to mobilize the inner government army and the imperial forest army of the entire Chang'an City.

What's more, although according to the rules, the military talisman should be used together with the edict, but the situation is urgent, and the precedent of mobilizing the army with the military talisman alone is not unprecedented!

In other words, if Li Hong wants to, it is not impossible to have another Xuanwu Gate now......

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Seeing Li Hong's cautious expression, Pei's voice also became smaller, although she didn't know this thing, but it must not be an idle thing to make Li Hong's dignified prince change color like this.

"You can mobilize the Fish Talisman of the Imperial Forest Army and the Inner House Army!"

Li Hong let out a long sigh of relief, frowned, and spoke softly.

"Ah, this ...... What does this mean? ”

Although he had already expected that this thing was extraordinary, even Pei Shi did not expect that this seemingly ordinary order talisman would be such an important thing.

You must know that although she has not really seen the fish talisman, since she grew up in the house of the eunuch, she naturally has a clear effect on the fish talisman.

Since ancient times, military power has always been the exclusive power of the emperor, even if it is the military department, it is just acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and this military talisman is the same as the jade seal, it is a symbol of monarchy.

Only when the army goes out to fight, it will be temporarily handed over to the commander, and once the squad returns to the court, it must be returned immediately, without a moment's delay.

It's just that such an important thing, how could it be handed over to Li Hong so easily......

"Yes, what does Father mean?"

A hint of complexity flashed in Li Hong's eyes, and he muttered in his mouth.

He is naturally clear about the importance of this talisman, and he is naturally clear about how tightly Li Zhi controls military power, even if it is to rebuild the six rates of the East Palace within the establishment at the beginning.

How could it be so easy to send the talisman over now?

You know, this is almost equivalent to entrusting your life in the hands of Li Hong, once Li Hong has bad intentions, then changing the dynasty is just a matter of thought!

Especially at this time of tension......

Although the outside world didn't know, Li Hong clearly knew that just last night, there was a rebellion in the imperial city, and at this moment the emperor sent the talisman over, what does it mean, it is really intriguing!

However, no matter whether Li Zhi really wants to entrust the talisman to him, or whether he has the intention to test it, as long as Li Hong has no objection in his heart, then this talisman in his hand is a hot potato.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong's expression suddenly became resolute.

"Wang Fusheng! Prepare the horse, and you have to enter the palace alone! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Fusheng, who hurriedly ran in from outside, looked puzzled, didn't his master just come back from the palace? Why are you going to the palace again?

It's just that he has been by Li Hong's side for so long, he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask, so he didn't hesitate at all, and went down to prepare.

"Your Highness is going to ......"

Pei Shi also helped the maid next to him to stand up with some difficulty, and said with a little worry on his face.

"Return the talisman!"

Li Hong groaned slightly, opened his mouth, and then turned around and walked towards the door.

It's just that before he walked to the door, he saw Wang Fusheng, who had just run out, hurriedly ran in again, and said breathlessly.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a will, Chief Wu is already waiting in the front hall, please go to receive the decree immediately!"

What's going on?

Li Hong's brows furrowed, he didn't understand how Li Zhi could have a will now, fortunately, there was already an incense case in the East Palace, and it didn't take much effort to receive the order.

It was still Li Hong's old acquaintance Wu Liangfu who passed the message, and when he saw Li Hong coming in a hurry, he said hello with a smile, then unfolded the yellow silk in his hand and opened his mouth to read.

"Under the door, the prince is humble and gentle, and he is well organized, I am convinced that I and the queen are patrolling the Jiucheng Palace, and I order the prince to supervise the country, and the military and political affairs are allowed to make decisions, and there is no need to report to me first, and then report after disposal, Qin this!"

It wasn't until Wu Liangfu finished reading the whole will that Li Hong didn't wake up, and in the end, Wu Liangfu gently shook Li Hong's body before he could react.

"Your Highness, take the order!"

"This ...... Manager Wu, how could my father visit Jiucheng Palace now? ”

Li Hong's voice was impatient, but he didn't stretch out his hand to answer the order.

That's right, since Emperor Gaozu, Jiucheng Palace is the summer palace of the emperors of the past dynasties in the middle of summer, in previous years, as long as Li Zhi is not in Luoyang Palace, he will inevitably visit Jiucheng Palace, but the question is, what is the situation now?

Li Xian is still in the prison, the Turkic peace talks have been put on hold, the Eastern Expedition army has not yet received good news, and Li Hong just saw Li Zhi looking sick, why did he suddenly become interested in going to the Jiucheng Palace?

"Hehe, Your Highness will make the old slave embarrassed, how can the old slave's mind be able to guess through His Majesty's thoughts, how His Majesty will give the order, the old slave will do it, Your Highness should quickly accept the order!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Liangfu, the old guy, didn't show his tone at all, but chuckled lightly, urging Li Hong to accept the order as soon as possible.

But Li Hong's brows furrowed quietly, he was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Manager Wu, please forgive Gu for not being able to accept this will!"

You must know that Li Zhi has not been in Chang'an once or twice, and Li Hong has supervised the country five or six times, but this time it is different from usual, this time Li Zhi's will is clearly said that once the major affairs of the state should be handled by the East Palace, there is no need to report in advance!

Sometimes, it's not good to have too much power......

After a pause, Li Hong continued to speak.

"Please ask General Manager Wu to report to his father, saying that the major affairs of the military should be handled by his father, and the sons and daughters will not dare to be arbitrary, and ask their father to withdraw his will!"

Wu Liangfu was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Li Hong to say this, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Hong, only to see Li Hong take out a small box from his sleeve, hand it high above his head, and speak.

"Manager Wu, this thing is not for his subordinates to hold, please return it to his father on behalf of Gu!"

This will, as well as the fish talisman in Li Hong's hand, are all hot potatoes, so it is better to send them out early.

However, Wu Liangfu was not easy to deal with, he put away the smile on his face slightly, helped Li Hong up, and slowly spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this order, and it is difficult for the old slave to obey it! This will is passed through the door of the province, the old slave has no right to return it, not to mention that now His Majesty and Niangniang have set off to Jiucheng Palace, you are afraid that you will not be able to catch up! As for the things in your hands, since they were given by Your Majesty, please ask Your Highness to go to Your Majesty in person, and the old slave will not dare to trespass! ”

After saying that, Wu Liangfu smiled slightly, stuffed the will in his hand into Li Hong's hand, bowed, and left the East Palace......
