Chapter 381: Who Can Convince the People Better
As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin shouted violently: "Nonsense! What kind of soldiers do women lead! ”
If it was before, seeing Li Shimin so angry, Chen Gui would have retreated in panic, but now, he knelt on the ground with weak legs and said, "Just now, she lifted the thousand-pound bronze lion outside the hall. ”
"What!" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, "Is this serious? ”
Chen Gui hurriedly nodded and said: "The slave saw it with his own eyes, and the guards outside also saw it, and she also brought dozens of Kunlun slaves, and several of them could lift a thousand catties of bronze lions." ”
As soon as these words came out, a burst of inhalation suddenly sounded in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and calmed down, and said quickly: "Pass her in!" He suddenly remembered that Haitang was not only Hou Junji's daughter, but also Tiedan's apprentice, and he had heard from Li Zhi that Haitang had helped Wang Xiang train Kunlun Nu, but he had always felt that it was a trick played by children and never took it to heart, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Chen Guide ordered him to get up and go out to pass Begonia into the hall, as the most trusted eunuch by Li Shimin's side, he naturally knew the battle situation ahead, so when he saw Begonia and those Kunlun slaves lifting a thousand catties of bronze lions, he knew that Li Shimin would definitely see Begonia.
At this time, Haitang was standing outside the hall with thirty-three black guards respectfully waiting, she had just learned the news of the disappearance of Hou Junji who was lost in Juyong Pass, and she was immediately anxious, and took the black guards who had been trained by her into the palace to ask for battle.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Hou Junji's daughter, he wouldn't even be able to enter the palace, she knew that Li Shimin would not see her easily, so she deliberately showed her strength just now.
Sure enough, after a while, Chen Gui walked out quickly and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has sent Miss Begonia into the hall." ”
Haitang turned around and ordered Heiwei to stand by on the spot, then adjusted the battle armor on his body, took a deep breath, and followed Chen Gui into the Taiji Palace.
As soon as she entered the hall, everyone's eyes turned to her. Begonia suppressed the tension in her heart. took two steps forward and saluted respectfully to Li Shimin. It was not a women's salute but a military salute, which suddenly attracted a light shout.
"Hou Junji's daughter Begonia has seen Your Majesty."
Li Shimin didn't care about Haitang's salute, and seeing that she was wearing battle armor, he nodded and asked, "Are you Tiedan's apprentice?" ”
Haitang didn't expect Li Shimin to ask this in the first sentence, and nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Tie Dan is indeed Haitang's master." ”
"I heard that the Marquis of Jiayuan once handed over his Kunlun slaves to you for training, but is there such a thing?"
Haitang raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Marquis Jiayuan said it." They are not Kunlun slaves, they are the black guards of the Hou Mansion. ”
She didn't know that such a reply could be regarded as a confrontation with Li Shimin, Li Shimin smiled slightly and didn't mind, but asked, "Do you want to lead the troops to the battlefield?" ”
Hearing this, Haitang hurriedly nodded and said, "Haitang is willing to lead the troops to defeat the Turkic army." ”
Listening to her woman's big tone, everyone in the hall couldn't help but laugh, if the Turkic army was so easily defeated, Your Majesty and everyone would not be so entangled.
"Did you know that there has never been a precedent for a woman to lead a soldier?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and asked.
Immediately, a minister chimed in: "How can a woman be a general, it's just a joke, is there no one in my Tang Dynasty!" ”
The expressions of the others also meant the same thing, and Haitang was anxious and argued: "Who said that there is no woman as a general, Jiayuan Hou said that Hua Mulan once served in the army on behalf of his father." Leading the troops to fight to repel the Huns, she is a heroine. ”
The minister who echoed him froze. said angrily: "Nonsense, that's a special situation, a woman should look like a woman, it's ...... to be a woman wearing armor like this."
"Smack!"
Li Shimin patted the back of the chair, and the minister hurriedly silenced and shut up.
Li Shimin looked at Haitang and said with a smile: "It's my negligence, Hua Mulan is indeed a strange woman, I heard that you can lift the thousand-pound bronze lion outside the Taiji Palace?" ”
After listening to Li Shimin's question, Haitang puffed up his chest and nodded.
"Those Kun...... How many of the Blackguards can do it? ”
Haitang replied, "There are twelve people who can do it." ”
"Shhh
Everyone in the hall took a breath in unison, Li Shimin looked surprised, and quickly asked, "Are you saying that there are twelve people besides you who can lift a thousand catties of bronze lions?" ”
Haitang nodded, and everyone immediately whispered.
No wonder everyone is so out of shape, Tubo has only found more than a dozen strange people with the strength of the whole country, and there are only dozens of strange people who have been able to come out of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and now there are more than a dozen strange people among the dozens of Kunlun slaves in the Marquis of Linchuan, how can they not surprise everyone.
You must know that not all strange people are good at fighting, and the strange people with infinite strength are the most suitable for the battlefield, and the twelve strange people who appeared in Begonia and the Black Guard turned out to be all strange people with infinite strength, which is simply a big surprise, and with these strange people, the battle situation in front of them will definitely be reversed.
Not only Li Shimin thought of this, but also the ministers in the palace, and the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "The battle report sent back by General Li shows that the battle situation ahead is very urgent, and Your Majesty should immediately dispatch these strange people to support." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said in a deep voice: "In this case, who should lead the army?" ”
"The last general is willing to lead the army!"
"The last general is willing to lead the army!"
……
His Royal Highness's generals have spoken out one after another.
When they were discussing the battle, they didn't say a word, but at this time they were very active, and a slight anger rose in Li Shimin's heart.
Everyone is not stupid, Li Jing, who is like a god, and the mighty King Zhao are unable to contain the Turkic army, precisely because of the huge disparity in the number of strange people on both sides, and it is also thankless for them to go, so they naturally do not want to come out. It's different now, there are more than a dozen strange people with infinite power, that's a matter of giving credit, who wouldn't want to pick up this credit.
Haitang was anxious, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Haitang is willing to lead the army to defeat the Turks." ”
"Nonsense, the battlefield is child's play, how can a woman lead the army!"
"How does a female leader serve the public, isn't it a joke if it spreads, is it really no one in my Datang!"
"Marching and fighting is originally a matter for our Tang generals, when will it be a woman's turn to come forward!"
……
Listening to the generals next to him speak one after another, Haitang's face became more and more difficult to look at, but the civil officials such as the eldest grandson Wuji did not say a word, and they didn't seem to hear the farce in the hall.
Li Shimin looked coldly at the generals below who attacked the begonias, and was silent for a moment and sneered: "Okay, sure enough, they are all loyal and brave generals of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, the female leader is indeed unable to convince the public." A general spoke.
Li Shimin chuckled: "In this case, General Gao might as well compete with Miss Begonia to see who can convince the public better." ”
