Hearing Li Su's bite, Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, although he knew that Li Su was arguing with reason, but he also had a little crooked reasoning, but no one thought that a daughter of the Xiao family would have such an amazing background?

But then his face sank, and he suddenly wondered: "No, since your wife is the daughter of Xiao Miao, how can she agree to marry you as a wife, after all, her father died in the hands of your grandfather, will there be any conspiracy in this?" ”

Li Shimin was accustomed to seeing the intrigues and tricks in the court, and after thinking of this, he immediately couldn't help but think about the dark side of things.

"Father, you misunderstood, Wen Xin didn't know her life experience at first, and even the identity of the daughter of the concubine has always been a thorn in her heart, even after becoming a princess, she didn't forget it, until she went to Dengzhou with her son, and these people from the Tiger Head Army found my house, and then they understood their true identity, and they almost fell seriously ill for this." Li Su hurriedly explained for Wen Xin.

"I see, then I'm relieved!" Li Shimin made a false alarm, sat down slowly and said, if this is really a conspiracy, then the other party's layout is too terrible, not only does Li Su count, but even he is used by the other party.

Then Li Shimin asked some more about the specific situation of the Tiger Head Army, especially the situation of the leaders of Hu Li, Li Su did not hide it, not only told the story of the Tiger Head Army, but also told Lu Qing about their overseas development in recent years, and at the same time told them about the arrangements he had made for them after they entered the palace, and by the way, he also helped them intercede, asking Li Shimin to forgive them for their previous crimes.

Li Shimin was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Their crime is nothing, but don't you think that you have made a big mistake in arranging them?" ”

Li Su was a little strange after hearing this. After thinking carefully about the arrangements for Lu Qing and them, I found that they were all arrangements to deal with their talents, and everyone could give full play to their greatest talents in their own positions, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with it?

Seeing his son's puzzled expression, Li Shimin sighed, although Li Su is smart, but after all, his experience is too shallow. didn't think about things very well, so he opened his mouth and said: "Liulang, you handed over all the guards in the palace to Hu Yun, Hu Li and that Zhou Long to be in charge, and at the same time, Lu Qing still served as the leader of the recruited navy. And that Lu Hong participated in the military as a consultant, and he had great influence on the military and politics, so the military power in your hands was controlled by them, the former ministers of the Liang State. Even if they are loyal to you, your princess is their old master. And they are also the forces of the relatives of the family, if this situation is allowed to develop, I am afraid that among your heirs in the future, only the son of the princess will be able to safely inherit your throne, otherwise there will be chaos! ”

Li Shimin's words. Although it is naked and full of blood, it is the experience of thousands of years of history in the Central Plains. The dictatorship of foreign relatives was the most serious in the Han Dynasty, and even the appointment and dismissal of the emperor would be manipulated by some foreign relatives.

After hearing this, Li Su's heart was also greatly alerted. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this before, but there was no one in his hands. The two of them, Lu Hong and the others are all outstanding people for a while, if it is not a pity, plus he and Wen Xin have a very good relationship, so they have not thought so far. But now Li Shimin also saw at a glance that this problem was inappropriate, which made Li Su suddenly think that if Lu Hong and Lu Qing were allowed to develop, even if there were other talents in the future, when they were already in their wings, it would not only become very difficult to take power away from them, but also cause their dissatisfaction and even cause civil strife.

Thinking of this, Li Su broke out in a cold sweat in fright, and hurriedly saluted Li Su respectfully and said, "Erchen understands, thank you for your guidance!" ”

"It's good that you understand, now you're just getting started, and it's still too late." Li Shimin laughed and stepped forward to help Li Su up, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "In addition, you have to remember that private affairs and official affairs must be separated, I know that you and Princess Qi have a very strong relationship, but for her old ministers, don't show mercy because of her." I think that when I first ascended the throne, my relationship with the queen was no worse than you are now, not to mention Wuji's talent, and I was my playmate since I was a child, but in the end, I was ruthless not to arrange important positions for him, in order to curb the dictatorship of my relatives! ”

Li Shimin was afraid that Li Su would be soft-hearted, and he also told his brother-in-law and eldest grandson Wuji as an example, speaking of which the eldest grandson Wuji was really unlucky, originally he had no talent or martial arts, and he was a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin's hair was small, and his feelings were extremely deep, but because of the identity of his relatives, he could not be reused, and later after Fang Xuanling's death, Li Shimin could not find the talent of the prime minister for the time being, which allowed him to take the position.

"Father, these sons understand, but now there are really no talents in the hands of the sons, so Lu Hong and those people must still be used, but in order to prevent them from becoming dominant, I will first insert some people I believe in, but now there is a problem, I hope you can help the sons and daughters!" Li Su was serious in the front, but he became a little smiling in the back, obviously wanting to take advantage of Li Shimin and ask him for some talents to support the field.

"Bastard boy, the Su Dingfang you were going to leave last time was already a good talent, and this time in the battle against Goguryeo, he also made many miraculous achievements, but this person has no intention of being a father, after rewarding his merits, no matter how high his rank is, he will still come to your mansion to listen to orders, and at the same time, I also have a strange reward for him!" Li Shimin scolded with a smile.

If the extermination of the Turks is the first battle of Su Dingfang's origin, then the battle of Goguryeo is a battle in which Su Dingfang's star shines, although Su Dingfang was born in a reckless and does not read many military books, but this person is extremely brave in battle, and his tactics are flexible and changeable, and he has repeatedly broken several times the enemy army with his own 1,000 cavalry, and he has also captured several Goguryeo generals with his own hands, becoming the second young general to show his skills on the Goguryeo battlefield after Zhang Jian.

"Great, Father Xie!" Li Su was overjoyed when he heard this, although he generously let Su Dingfang and them go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, but in his heart he was extremely reluctant to give up this general's talent, and now when he heard that Li Shimin would send him to serve in his own mansion, this joy of losing and regaining made him almost jump with joy.

"Father, what other strange reward have you prepared for Su Dingfang, can you let your sons hear about it first?" After Li Su was excited, he suddenly remembered Li Shimin's last words, and immediately asked anxiously.

"Hehe, in fact, this reward may not feel like anything to others, but for a military general like Su Dingfang, it is an extremely rare opportunity." Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, and then said, "In fact, for Su Dingfang, his father had already discovered his extraordinaryness when he destroyed the Turks, but although this person was brave and flexible, he lacked a systematic method of using soldiers. Let Wei Gong pass on some military techniques to him, I believe that even if he can't compare to Wei Gong in the future, his achievements are definitely very comparable. ”

Li Su was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, he was about to tell Li Shimin about the military academy, but he didn't expect the other party to move faster than himself, and he already had a plan to let Li Jing and other veterans pass on the art of war, but compared to the mature idea of the military academy, Li Shimin's plan was still too conservative.

"Father, do you also think that the old generals of Duke Wei this time are all experienced in using soldiers, and it would be a pity if they were brought into the coffin, so they want to send someone to their mansion to study?" Li Su didn't show any joy after hearing this, but asked tentatively.

"Yes, this is exactly what my father is planning, in this way, I can pass on the art of war of all the veterans, and I can add new generals to my Tang Dynasty, which is really killing two birds with one stone!" Listening to Li Su ask about this, Li Shimin also seemed quite proud, the art of war in the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of them were passed down from father to son, and few people would pass it on, but Li Shimin took advantage of his convenience as an emperor and ordered people to go to Li Jing and others to learn, so they had to learn the art of war from Hou Junji, for example.

"Father, since this is the case, why not just open a military academy similar to the academy, let those old veterans teach, collect everyone's experience in the art of war into a book, and order people to compile it into a book, and distribute it to the students as teaching materials, and these students will be selected from the army, in addition to learning the art of war on the textbooks, they will also carry out patriotic education loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Tang Dynasty every day, and wait for these people to complete their studies, and then distribute them to the army, so that the military power will all belong to my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, As long as there are no perverse people, I believe that my Datang will be forever! ”

Li Su's words were like a morning bell at dusk, which suddenly dispelled the hazy feeling in Li Shimin's heart, making his eyes immediately see the future direction of Datang. The meaning of Li Su's words is already very clear, that is, to use the sharp weapon of the military academy to train generals at all levels in the army, and at the same time to educate these people on loyalty and patriotism, and if there are people like this, the army will always be in the hands of the emperor, and as long as there is military power in the hands, even if it is a big mess, it can be quelled as quickly as possible.

"Military Academy! Military academy! Hahahaha~, good name! Good way! Li Shimin muttered a few words to himself, and then clenched his fists excitedly and laughed loudly, laughing and praising at the same time. Although he also understands that things like military schools alone are not enough to make the Tang Dynasty permanent, but with the things that Li Su proposed before, maybe this is no longer a dream!
