Li Longji listened to what Li Heng said and did not answer, and the eunuch Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, cautiously stepped forward and echoed: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, and the military system of the Tang Dynasty cannot be destroyed. Now that the critical situation in Tongguan has been eliminated, the generals are also equipped with stops, and the post of supervising army should be re-established. ”

As soon as he heard that Gao Lishi really spoke for him, Li Heng was greatly relieved and gave him a grateful look, but Gao Lishi ignored it and still stood aside expressionlessly after speaking.

Li Heng also immediately said again: "Father, that's exactly the case, the system of supervising the army was created by my father, and it must not be destroyed because of anyone." Today, in the army of the Tang Dynasty, only the Tongguan Town Army has not set up a post of supervising the army. Tongguan is the gateway of Chang'an, and its status is extremely important, so there can be no sloppiness. Therefore, Erchen suggested that his father should set up a post of supervisor in the Tongguan Town Army as soon as possible. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a point! The system of supervising the army cannot be destroyed, and any army of the Tang Dynasty should set up a supervising army," Li Longji thought for a while, but still agreed with what Li Heng and Gao Lishi said, and immediately asked: "Since the prince suggested that I set up a post of supervising army in the Tongguan Town Army as soon as possible, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Last time, the Yu Chao Enzhen you mentioned also sent someone to understand, although this person has been in the palace for many years, but he has not performed well, and he was reprimanded by Yang Guozhong, it is not suitable for him to go to Tongguan!"

Hearing what Li Longji said so clearly, Li Heng chuckled in his heart, and felt a little bad, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a while. He entered the palace today to suggest that Li Longji set up a supervisory post in the Tongguan Town Army, just to recommend Yu Chaoen, a eunuch who was very trusted by him, to serve as a supervisor, and he was ready to recommend Yu Chaoen again after Li Longji agreed to his request and was ready to set up a prison in the Tongguan Town Army.

He had already figured out how to praise Yu Chaoen for his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and his good ability in front of Li Longji, but before he could speak, Li Longji denied the possibility of Yu Chaoen going to Tongguan to serve as a supervisor. However, Li Heng's mind reacted quickly, and he immediately thought of another person, and immediately replied after being stunned for a moment: "Father, the son also knows that Yu Chaoen's ability is lacking, and I am afraid that he will not be able to supervise military affairs during the extraordinary period, so that my father can rest assured." The minister felt that there was another person who was very suitable, this person had been in the palace for more than 30 years, had been indisputable with the world, and his ability was good, and he had never had a holiday with Yang Xianggong and Marshal Yang. ”

"Who is it?"

"Li Jingzhong, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs," after saying the second candidate in his mind, Li Heng immediately explained: "Li Jingzhong has been in the palace for many years, and he has served by his father's side, and his father has also praised this person as good. He has qualifications, he is old, he is very calm, and he rarely conflicts with people, so the minister thinks it is very suitable to let this person go to Tongguan. ”

Hearing what Li Heng said, Li Longji was noncommittal, did not say anything, just twisted his beard and looked at Li Heng steadily.

After Li Heng finished the performance, he stood with his head down, but he still felt the gaze of his father Li Longji in the corner of his eye, he was very nervous, and his heartbeat was a little faster. However, after staring at Li Heng for a while, Li Longji turned his gaze to Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side.

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji was asking him for his opinion and wanted to hear what he thought of Li Jingzhong, so he immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, Li Jingzhong knows something about this old slave, he has indeed been in the palace for more than 30 years, and he has been doing things in obscurity in Daming Palace, and he is not very good at arguing with others. However, he is no longer in Daming Palace, and now he has gone to the East Palace to do things, and he has gone to serve His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the eunuch of the East Palace," Li Longji looked suddenly enlightened, and his eyes fell on Li Heng again.

Seeing this, Li Heng couldn't hold back any longer, so he could only explain stubbornly: "Father, Li Jingzhong is indeed working in the East Palace. It is also because he is working in the East Palace that his sons know something about him, and feel that this person is so calm and can take on great responsibilities, as long as his father admonishes him a few words, and then let him go to Tongguan to supervise military affairs, he will definitely do things for his father loyally, and dare not have any slack. ”

When explaining, he glanced at Gao Lishi next to him by the way, hoping that the old eunuch like an old fox could help him say a few words.

For so many years, Li Heng had sought the support of Gao Lishi, and he knew that if he could get the support of this eunuch who was very trusted by his father, then his status in Li Longji's mind would definitely be very different. He also knew that Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong had been fighting openly and secretly.

But it's a pity that for so many years, Colliers has chosen to ignore his overtures, which makes him quite disappointed.

However, on the issue of supervising the army, Gao Lishi vaguely promised that he would help speak, and at a critical time, Li Heng hoped that Gao Lishi could continue to help him say a few words. Li Heng guessed that Gao Lishi was willing to help with the issue of supervising the army, probably because the candidates for the supervising army were all eunuchs.

In Li Heng's expectation, Gao Lishi finally spoke again, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said has some truth, Li Jingzhong is a very practical person, and the minister also thinks that this person is a more suitable candidate to serve as a supervisor!"

Li Longji was a little surprised that Gao Lishi would say this, but he didn't ask anything, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded, "Since the prince and Lux both think that Li Jingzhong is a very suitable candidate, then I agree to let him go to Tongguan to serve as a supervisor." I just hope that he won't interfere too much in the military affairs of Tongguan, get along well with Yang Xi, and strive to win more battles! I want to meet him, too. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave is going to announce Li Jingzhong into the hall," Gao Lishi made a salute and ran out of the hall in small steps.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"The imperial court is finally going to set up a prison army in the army of Tongguan Town," Yang Xi, who was holding the secret letter sent by Yang Guozhong, stood in front of the window and sighed.

In this secret letter sent by Yang Guozhong, he was told that the imperial court was going to re-establish a prison army in the Tongguan army and let Li Jingzhong, the eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain, serve as the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province.

Yang Guozhong told Yang Xi that Li Jingzhong was a person in the East Palace, and he was trusted by the crown prince Li Heng, who was almost a close confidant of the prince, and asked Yang Xi to deal with it carefully after Li Jingzhong arrived, suppress it as much as possible, and never let Li Jingzhong do anything, and find a way to find his shortcomings, so that this person could not stay.

"Fortunately, it's not Yu Chaoen," Yang Xi sighed with emotion after lighting the letter on the candle, "If Yu Chaoen comes, it may be difficult to deal with." ”

Yu Chaoen's reputation in history Yang Xi knows, what a famous eunuch, it can be said that he is the most powerful eunuch after Gao Lishi, if such a person comes to serve as a supervisor, it should be very difficult to deal with.

But Yang Xi's emotion was wrong, if he knew that Li Jingzhong had another name named Li Fuguo in the original history, he would definitely be surprised. There is such a little record in the history textbook of junior high school, the eunuch Li Fuguo, who held great power, once said to the emperor at that time, Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in history: "Everyone sits inside, and foreign affairs are handled by the old slave," This is a eunuch with a higher historical status than Yu Chaoen, and even the Tang Dynasty Sect is supported by him, and the ** of power is further than Yu Chaoen.

Because he was a close confidant of the crown prince Li Heng, after he arrived in Tongguan, he also brought a series of troubles to Yang Xi.
