"Your Majesty, General Li Junxian has already sent news that he has returned to the dynasty with a large army. The 15,000-strong special guard army is ready to return to Chang'an to offer prisoners to the emperor! A eunuch said.

Li Shimin took over Li Junxian's recital when he left the camp earlier, and then looked at it seriously.

"Go down!" Li Shimin said.

The eunuch quickly went down, but Li Shimin looked at this piece with a complicated face on the spot.

And at this time, Empress Changsun came over and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you have such a bad face?" Are you sick, do you want to send the imperial doctor over? ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not sick, I'm just worried." ”

"What are you worried about? Can you talk to the concubine? Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin pointed to the piece of music given by Li Junxian, and Queen Eldest Sun also took the piece and looked at it. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the management of the harem was not strict, and it was not impossible for the queen to see the concerto. During this period, the management of the harem was not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the harem was absolutely not allowed to see any chapters, nor was there the iron law that the harem could not interfere in politics like the Ming and Qing dynasties. So Empress Changsun took a look at the recital, and Li Shimin didn't think anything was wrong.

"Your Majesty, the special guard is coming back soon, or will he come with countless prisoners, what are you unhappy about? Isn't it a thing to be happy that the Tyves defeated more than 200,000 Turks with very few casualties of their own? In the past, when we defeated the Turks, we had to pay several times the price of the anti-rebellion, but now Li Junxian was able to completely annihilate more than 200,000 Turkic cavalry with less than 1,000 casualties, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the special guards dominates the world! With such a powerful force, why is the emperor still worried? Empress Eldest Sun said.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "Although it is a good thing to have such a powerful army, if it is not in my hands, it may not be a good thing. ”

"The special guard is also my army of the Tang Dynasty, why is it not in the hands of the emperor?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin explained: "From the establishment of the special guard to the training and education. Even the final command of the war was arranged by Li Junxian, and my influence on the special guard was very low. Although a prison army was sent, I don't even know how much role this prison soldier Du Junxuan can play. Before, what I valued was not the combat effectiveness of the special guards, but the organizational systems of the special guards. But now that the combat power of the special guard dominates the world, once they have ...... That Tang Jiangshan is in danger. ”

Li Shimin did not say that word, obviously very worried. Li Shimin did not take the combat effectiveness of the special guard seriously at the beginning, and Li Shimin attached more importance to the various organizational structures of the special guard, which could disperse the power of the generals. But now that the combat effectiveness of the special guard dominates the world, Li Shimin can't help but worry. Because Li Shimin has limited influence on this special guard. Therefore, I am worried that once this special guard has any bad intentions, then I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be in danger. Since the special guards even beat the more than 200,000 Turkic troops, isn't it easy to pack up these ordinary infantry in the Tang Dynasty? When the time comes, I am afraid that this Wan Tewei will rebel, and no army in the whole Tang Dynasty will be able to stop it. Even, if you pull over the 600,000 troops of the entire Tang Dynasty, I don't know if you can stop the special guards! Even the 600,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to guarantee the victory over the more than 200,000 Turkic cavalry. However, Li Junxian's special guards not only wiped out more than 200,000 Turkic cavalry. There is still very little loss, and this is the gap.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about Li Junxian?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't know. Li Junxian is the only person I can't completely control. I don't quite know what he's thinking. But I didn't think he would betray me, so I handed over Tyve to him. At that time, my idea was very simple, even if I couldn't master Li Junxian, even if he had more than 10,000 military powers. But it doesn't affect anything. More than 10,000 people are not enough for me Datang. But now the combat power of the special guard dominates the world, which makes people shudder! In addition, the influence of this army is very low. So once Li Junxian gave an order, they would obey Li Junxian's order more than me! ”

"Then will Li Junxian rebel?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin also smiled wryly and said, "I don't know either! ”

Empress Eldest Sun was also silent a lot, because even Li Shimin didn't know, so how did Empress Eldest Sun know? I'm afraid that if Li Shimin has such a powerful force, then I'm afraid Li Shimin will rebel. Comparing his heart to his heart, Li Shimin couldn't guess whether Li Junxian would have bad intentions.

After all, Empress Changsun is Li Shimin's queen, and everything is involved with Li Shimin. If Li Tang falls, then don't think about it. So of course he cares about Li Shimin's future and the safety of Datang.

"Your Majesty, how many troops do we have in Chang'an that can be guarded? Can you restrain Li Junxian's special guard? Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin said: "Is it all for nothing!" The vast majority of our troops in Datang have already been sent to attack the Turks, and even if they are not sent, they may not be able to stop the special guards. So I have no choice but to bet on Li Junxian's loyalty. If Li Junxian betrays, then Datang is in danger. If Li Junxian is still loyal, then don't worry. Now the Tang Dynasty is tied to Li Junxian's thoughts, so this matter is beyond my control. ”

Empress Changsun has no choice, because the current situation is beyond Li Shimin's control.

"Your Majesty, this may be your unfounded worry! Perhaps, it won't be long before Li Junxian's request for transfer will come. Empress Eldest Sun said.

"I hope so! With such a powerful army, but there is no way to counter it, I am not at ease. can only pin on Li Junxian's thoughts, and I have no choice now. Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin has no choice now, he can only pin his trust on Li Junxian's loyalty. Although this feeling is very bad, I can only accept it silently. And what Li Junxian thinks, Li Shimin doesn't know. This is all the bitter wine brewed by Li Shimin at the beginning, he didn't pay too much attention to Li Junxian's ability, and he didn't think that Li Junxian could train such a powerful army, so he didn't take it too seriously. But now it has caused this army to be out of his control, which makes Li Shimin very worried. (To be continued......)
