And Hou Junji was more adventurous than Li Ji with troops, and the odds of victory did not exceed fifty percent, so he dared to rush forward. He was too bold, and he didn't have any fears. A person has no fear, this kind of person is the most terrible, he dares to do anything. Although Hou Junji is the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is really not a candidate for general, not the blessing of the army, and not the blessing of the entire Tang Dynasty. Li Jing has studied the battles that Hou Junji has fought, and he is too risky in fighting, relying entirely on brute strength, ruthlessness, ruthlessness to the enemy, ruthlessness to his subordinates, and even more ruthless to himself. Because he is the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he has always led the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that every battle he fought relied more on the bravery and strength of the soldiers than on the strategy of war. On the surface, there are many victories, but the victory in each battle can be called a fluke. Soldiers, the country's major affairs. Every big battle is related to the rise and fall of the country, how can a person like Hou Junji, who fights by luck, lead a large army and fight for the country?

Thinking of this, Li Jing sent a secret letter to Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor who was far away in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty: "Li Ji, I can teach him all my art of war; Hou Junji, he can only teach half of it. Hou Junji is too bold, this is really not a blessing for the army and the country. ”

Seeing Li Jing's twists and turns, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was displeased, but soon, he felt calm. Hou Junji is his confidant, he has been friends with him for many years, and no one knows Hou Junji better than himself. Hou Junji is too bold, and he doesn't have any fears, he dares to do anything. Li Jing knows this well, and Li Shimin understands it even more. There is no fear, there is no fear. A person who has no fear and only likes to take risks is the most terrifying, and you are not sure what unthinkable things he will do next. Leading a large army to rebel, usurping the country, and rioting are the heinous crimes. As long as he Hou Junji thinks about it, he dares to do it. Don't look at him now being honest, that's because he hasn't reached that step yet, when he gets to that point, he Hou Junji will definitely dare to do it, there is really nothing in this world that he Hou Junji doesn't dare to do.

As a result, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin secretly agreed to Li Jing's request.

And Li Xuan's inquiry about the edict of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin did not put forward the talent or anything like Li Jing, but said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "The knowledge of ministers is more practical. It is like a sharp blade that can hurt others as well as oneself; It can not only benefit the country and the people, but also bring disaster to the country and the people. Therefore, it is necessary to be a person whom His Majesty feels to be absolutely reliable and of good character in order to learn. There is no limit to the number of ministers, and the more the merrier. ”

Li Xuan felt that he was in Zhongnan Mountain. There is still a lot of free time. Since the Tang Emperor was jealous of himself and had to accept his own apprentices, why didn't he take this opportunity to cultivate a group of talents who would accept new ideas and new knowledge. In the future, there will also be helpers who can help themselves and change the entire Datang society together.

Li Xuan's speech made the Tang Emperor Li Shimin very satisfied. Li Xuan's "absolutely reliable and excellent character" was in the mind of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. That must be the most trustworthy of the Longyou Li royal family from which he was born. Their interests are the most closely related to Datang, and they are also the most loyal to Datang. Therefore. Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ordered: "The edict orders King Guande, Zong Zhengqing, and Li Xiong, the head of the Li clan of Longyou, to select 500 people with good character from the family and send them to the hermitage of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an in Zhongnan Mountain, to study. ”

Li Xiong, the king of Guande, was overjoyed to receive the will.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Liu Xun, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen These people were unhappy, and everyone secretly said in their hearts: "It's too partial." The immortal methods of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, we have all seen it with our own eyes, and we also admire it from the bottom of our hearts. Loyal and reliable, with excellent moral character, is it possible that only the children of the Li clan of Longyou can do it in the great Tang Dynasty? The children of our important ministers in the court and the children of the three major political forces in the world are all disloyal to the Tang Dynasty, and they are all of bad character? His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has dinner, we have to let those of us who follow your courtiers and forces drink a mouthful of soup, you wave your pen, five hundred children of the Li clan of Longyou enter Zhongnan Mountain to study, we follow your courtiers and forces closely can only watch with their eyes, this is not good. I have to talk to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty about this. ”

Taiji Palace, Shangshu left servant shot, Ministry of Shangshu Shangshu Fang Xuanling, Shangshu right servant shot, Criminal Department Shangshu Du Ruhui, Shizhong Liu Xun, secretary supervisor Xiao Yu, imperial historian Wei Zheng jointly visited His Majesty the Tang Emperor.

Seeing the few people present, Tang Emperor Li Shimin immediately understood their thoughts. These people are his most important assistants in governing the country, and since they can help, they must help. So he pretended to be generous and said, "You all asked for your children to go to the king of Yong'an and learn, right?" You are all my important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, my right-hand man, and you all say that everyone has a few children to go, right? ”

Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, Shangshu Fang Xuanling stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "The old minister has three sons, eight nephews, and nine nephews.......

Tang Emperor Li Shimin directly interrupted: "So many people can't go, you are the head of the ministers, I will give you four places." If there are more, I can't help it. ”

After some consideration, Fang Xuanling decided to send his two sons, the eldest son Fang Yizhi, the second son Fang Yiai, and two nephews with excellent character and learning to study. His youngest son, Fang Yi, is too young, only three years old, and it is estimated that he will not be able to learn anything if he goes.

After that, Shangshu's right servant shot and Shangshu Du Ruhui of the Criminal Department also recommended his four disciples; Liu Xun, Xiao Yu, and Wei Zheng nominated three.

Wait for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Liu Xun, Xiao Yu, and Wei Zheng to leave. The Ministry of Officials, Wen Xuan, Shi Langzhong, and the chief of the Guanlong aristocracy, Sun Wuji, walked into the Taiji Palace.

The eldest grandson Wuji said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, my eldest grandson family and Guanlong nobles have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Chen's sister is His Majesty's Empress, and Chen is both His Majesty's friend and His Majesty's confidant. Whether it is the process of the founding of the Tang Dynasty or His Majesty's accession to the throne as emperor, my eldest grandson's family and the Guanlong aristocratic group are closely following Your Majesty, and in terms of loyalty and contribution, my Guanlong aristocratic group is the highest among the three major political forces in the world. Your Majesty, the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan, you can not give them quotas, but no matter what, you have to give me the quotas of the eldest grandson family and the Guanlong aristocratic group. ”

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty said with emotion: "The loyalty of your eldest grandson family and the Guanlong aristocratic group, I understand it in my heart. Say, how many people need to be promoted, right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Shimin cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has given the Longyou Li clan five hundred places, then my eldest grandson family and the entire Guanlong aristocratic group will also have five hundred places, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin didn't even raise his head, and he didn't pay attention to him.

The eldest grandson Wuji said cautiously again: "The four hundred, this is the number of places added up by the eldest grandson family and the Guanlong aristocratic group, and it can't be less." If I had known this, I would have come in twice, first for the eldest grandson's family, and then for the Guanlong aristocratic group. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked helpless, pointed to the eldest grandson Wuji, who was complaining, and said: "I will give you three hundred places, no matter how much, I can't give it anymore." ”

After that, Langzhong, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, Cen Wenwen, the head of the Southern Shi Clan, and Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the two heads of the Shandong Hao clan, met with the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

After some discussion, Li Shimin gave them a total of 400 places. There are 200 places for each of the wealthy clans in Shandong and the Shi clan in the south. (To be continued......)
