"Minister, Zuofu Zhonglang will pay a visit to Li Junxian to His Majesty the Emperor!" Li Junxian returned to the Taiji Palace again.

"What else is going on in Li Qing's family?" Li Yuan's tone was a little unpleasant.

Just now he drove Li Junxian away, and now that Li Junxian is actually back again, Li Yuan's attitude naturally can't be very good. The clay figure still has three points of fire, not to mention Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to be clear, and the minister thinks that we can train some elite soldiers in small quantities. These soldiers want to be the best in the world and become a first-class elite. Our training venue is located in the square in front of the Suzaku Gate, so that everyone in the world can see it. Li Junxian said.

Why is that? Aren't the most elite troops going to hide? Why should the whole world see it? Li Yuan asked.

Li Junxian had already thought of the reason in advance, and opened his mouth to say: "Your Majesty, now the world has some doubts about the armed strength of my Tang Dynasty. Many people all over the world have no way of intuitively understanding the strong force of our Datang, which can protect their rights and interests and achieve the role of protecting the territory and the people. If we put this elite army in the Suzaku Gate, so that the people of the world can see the elite of our Tang Army, the people of the world will definitely support the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, our army is placed in front of the people of the world, revealing our Datang's martial arts, which can be intimidating. ”

Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect that there would be such a statement. Put a force in front of the people of the world, and shock those who have other ideas in mind. Displaying elite troops in front of everyone can have a strategic deterrent effect. Although Li Yuan did not know the theory of strategic deterrence in later generations, his political talent as an emperor could still think of the role of this.

Even, Li Yuan thought that this army was not just deterring those small people in the country. Now there are Turks abroad, and some traditional Chinese vassal countries are all looking at the Tang Dynasty. If Datang can come up with a powerful army, the deterrent power is not small! When those small countries saw that Datang had such strength, they didn't dare to betray it easily. And the Turks, seeing that the Tang Dynasty has such an army, may also consider not attacking the Tang Dynasty and plundering the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the specific combat effectiveness of this unit is not something that ordinary people are concerned about. Maybe this army is just an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass, but at least it has to be done well in terms of appearance. To put it mildly, this unit is a unit that only needs face and does not need combat effectiveness, and it is no different from the honor guard of later generations.

Just now Li Junxian walked out of the Taiji Palace and found that the entrance of the Taiji Palace was very empty, and he suddenly realized that there was an honor guard in the [***] square in his previous life. He suddenly remembered that the ancient Emperor Yanjing was the kind of person who had a very good face, and if there was a force that seemed to be not small, it was not impossible to serve as an honor guard. And Li Junxian can also use the reason of training the honor guard to master this army.

"Good! Since you proposed this, it's up to you to do it! Immediately select some powerful sergeants from the Imperial City Guards and train you. Remember, you must train this army to look like it, and you can't lose the national prestige of Datang! Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Your grandfather's, training honor guards? Simple! Li Junxian thought to himself.

Li Junxian suddenly shook his head again and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue weapons and armor to this army!" ”

"Weapons? What do you want to do? Li Yuan suddenly asked cautiously.

As an emperor, he is still very sensitive to this aspect. If it's just empty-handed, it's nothing, but if weapons and armor are issued, then the issue is sensitive. If weapons and armor are issued, then the force is a real armament, and if someone wants to do something, then it is a big problem. Li Yuan did not suspect that Li Junxian wanted to rebel, but it was just out of the sensitivity of an emperor, so he had to figure out the problem here.

"Your Majesty, if there is no weapon armor, there is not much pressure on the neighbors! If you don't have weapons and armor, it's useless! In order to deter the barbarians, the necessary armament is still needed. What's more, there are seventy or eighty thousand troops on duty around the imperial city, and one or two hundred people can't become the climate! Li Junxian immediately explained.

The suspicions in Li Yuan's heart were dispelled, because Li Junxian was reasonable. If you don't carry weapons and armor, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced. And Li Junxian is also right, Chang'an City currently has seventy or eighty thousand garrison troops, and the army of the sixteen guards is nearby, what can Li Junxian's two hundred people do. To put it mildly, if Li Junxian wanted to rebel, his two hundred people would probably be killed before they rushed into the palace.

What's more, although Li Junxian is also surnamed Li, he is not a royal family. In this era of family dominance, there is no orthodox inheritance if it is not the royal family. Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Li Junxian kills Li Yuan, and with only 200 troops, he can't suppress the princes of the world, and this will not have an advantage in general righteousness. Li Yuan was not worried that Li Junxian would rely on this two-hundred-hundred-strong army to rebel, because this would not work.

"Okay, you can go and order two hundred sergeants tomorrow, then get weapons and armor, and go to the Vermilion Bird Gate to train!" Li Yuan said.

Li Yuan was still relieved of Li Junxian, because Li Junxian had no reason to betray him. Now that the world is about to be stable, betraying Li Yuan is tantamount to giving up the glory and wealth at your fingertips, so normal people will not do it. Li Yuan was very relieved to let Li Junxian take away these two hundred troops, he didn't take these two hundred troops in his eyes at all.

But Li Junxian secretly thought in his heart: "If I want to mutiny, the two hundred troops will naturally not succeed." But if it was a coup d'état within the imperial family, then things would be different. ”

Li Yuan also did not expect that the leader of this coup was not Li Junxian. If it is a coup d'état by outsiders, it cannot be suppressed by relying on 200 troops. However, if there is a mutiny within the imperial family that occupies the righteousness, then those troops in Chang'an City will remain neutral. Since ancient times, there have been coups within the imperial family for the throne, and most of the military has remained neutral. In the original historical Xuanwumen Mutiny, the other armies maintained neutrality and did not participate in this kind of internal mutiny within the imperial family. Therefore, Li Junxian wanted to help Li Shimin mutiny, which was an internal mutiny within the imperial family, and those other armies would remain neutral. Under the condition that other armies remain neutral, their own two hundred troops will become absolutely strong.

Li Junxian left the Taiji Palace and whispered: "The military power is in hand!" ”
