Duhe is a strong word, but it cannot be denied that he has a point.

Hongbunkan is subordinate to the Monxia Province, which is located inside the Imperial Palace, and every student has a token to enter and exit the Imperial Palace for convenience. In normal times, Du He walked around the palace, and the forbidden army rarely asked about it in the past, and only at the palace gate would he be routinely inspected.

Today, it was said that this incident was caused because Du He was rushing through the palace with a panicked look, which attracted the attention of the patrol forbidden army, so he came forward to investigate. In order to save time, Duhe chose to ignore it.

But if he can stop and explain every time he encounters an interrogation, and show his waist card to verify his identity, Du He can walk in the palace unimpeded.

Therefore, it is undeniable that Du He, as a student of Hongwenkan, does have the right to enter and leave the palace.

It is true to say that Du He broke into the palace, but it is reasonable to say that he did not break into the palace.

Of course, it depends on what the authorities do.

At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up: "What the emperor said is not unreasonable, of course, Lord Wei is not wrong. However, one of them is young, and the other is not within the scope of his authority, and none of them should be advisable. It is reasonable to ask the Dali Temple and the military department to see if Du He's move constitutes a major crime of breaking into the palace, and to see if Du He has done anything with the forbidden army, causing casualties. ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "What Fang Xiang said is reasonable!" Dali Siqing, I ask you, Du He's move can constitute the name of the palace. He waited for his eyes, looking at Dali Siqing, a pair of tiger eyes shot out a chill, and the threat in his eyes was self-evident.

Dali Siqing's body trembled slightly, not everyone was like Wei Zheng, who could ignore the anger of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Emperor Mingjian, Du He, as a student of Hongwen Pavilion, can freely enter and leave the palace, and this move has not caused the name of breaking into the palace!"

Dali Siqing's answer was very satisfactory to Li Shimin, Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then looked at a spirited official behind Du Ruhui, "Hou Aiqing, what did you say?" ”

Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Lord Li is directly involved in this matter, and it is more appropriate for the emperor to ask him." Hou Junji was good friends with Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng even recommended Hou Junji as his prime minister many times. It is true that Hou Junji is in Wei Zheng's group, but Li Shimin's attitude is obvious. He didn't want to offend Li Shimin or Wei Zheng, so he retreated and simply stood aside and became a bystander.

Li Shimin is eloquent, and he can't see Hou Junji's thoughts, so he can only look at Yinggong Li Ji when he is a little unhappy.

Li Ji said with a smile: "The key point of breaking into the palace is the palace gate, the palace gate is strangled, and the entry and exit rooms must be checked, if they are not checked, they can be regarded as breaking into the palace." Du He came all the way, and there were no more than two palace gates through which he passed. First, Yong'an Gate, second, Vermilion Bird Gate. The Suzaku Gate was opened by the old minister himself and let them pass. And the old minister of Yong'anmen also asked the guards to the gatekeeper, Du He did indicate his identity, but Princess Changle was in critical condition, and Du He was a little anxious, so that there was a small misunderstanding. Therefore, the minister thought that Du He made a small mistake, but it was not enough to be crowned with this big crime of breaking into the palace. Li Ji told a little lie here.

Li Shimin laughed out loud "haha": "Aiqing is reasonable!" Wei Qingjia, what else do you have to say? ”

Wei Zheng was stunned, opened his mouth, and said helplessly: "The minister has nothing to say!" ”

Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng was deflated, and his mood was extremely happy, it seems that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is indeed angry with this stubborn cow.

"That's it! Happy forever, you will disperse! As the court meeting said, all Aiqing has its own duties. As for the request of Tubo Songtsen Gampo, I refused, I only have Changle, a daughter to be married, how can I let her go to a remote place to suffer. ”

"Yes! Wait for the resignation! The ministers in the room were all gone, and Du He was among them.

"Du He, you stay, talk to me!" Li Shimin stopped Du He as if he was an old friend.

All kinds of suspicious eyes stayed on Du He's body.

Du He grimaced and agreed.

After the ministers retreated, Li Shimin looked at Du He with a smile and said, "What's the matter, you don't recognize me?" ”

Du He Cancan smiled: "How can it! The emperor is wise and martial, generous and benevolent, loved by the three armies, praised by all the people, comparable to Yao Shunyu Tang, Wenwu Zhou Kong, Du He's admiration for you is like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, gushing endlessly, like Songshan Mountain, Mount Tai ......" Du He shook his head and wanted to endorse it, praising the Tang Emperor in front of him.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop......" Three black lines appeared on Li Shimin's head, and he actually called five stops in one breath, "I may be happy when I hear these words from others, but when I say it from your mouth, I feel uncomfortable." Forget it, don't tell me about that, I'm really not used to it. In this way, I am the same generation as your father, so you can call me Uncle Li. ”

He gestured to the seat next to him and asked Duhe to sit down.

Du He's surname is free and easy, and he is really not used to calling the emperor one by one, so he sat down next to Li Shimin and thanked him.

Li Shimin didn't have the emperor's frame at the moment, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite to me, to be honest, I am impressed with you again." Do you know that in order to hunt you down, half of the 20,000 forbidden troops in my Tang Palace City were dispatched, and Cheng Lao Pifu even dispatched cavalry. As a result, you are left behind your ass one by one, and you can't even catch a shadow. If it weren't for General Li Ji's prediction in advance that your purpose was to get out of the palace, and he rode a shortcut to the Suzaku Gate to set up an ambush, maybe he really let you break out. It is also thanks to him that he acted decisively, and when he heard your reason, he immediately ordered the passage. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would not have the courage to be the master. ”

Du He was really a little stunned, he didn't expect things to be so big. However, so far, he has not regretted his judgment, and said with a smile: "What I think is nothing more than that I don't want to see Princess Changle die in front of me, especially if I can't do something, I will be uneasy in my heart." As for the trouble, I really didn't think about it, even if I did, what would happen. As long as I am worthy of my heart, I don't care what the world says. ”

"Talk fast!" Li Shimin stroked his palm and chuckled: "I appreciate your surname, and now there is one more one, acting decisively, not chaotic in the face of danger, no less than a father!" If it weren't for the fact that you haven't done the crown salute, I will make you an official and let you serve my Datang. ”

This time, Du He did not refuse, but said loudly: "Born in China, grew up in China, serve the country, and never regret dying!" As long as Uncle Li has a life, I dare not obey. ”

Li Shimin laughed even more, paused, and said, "Then I will test you first to see how much ability you have." Do you know the military system? ”

Du He replied: "This naturally knows that the government soldiers are the root of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and they are characterized by the integration of soldiers and farmers. In peacetime, the government soldiers were farmers who cultivated the land, trained in agricultural gaps, and fought in the army in wartime. The Tang Dynasty military mansions are all over the world, with a total of 533 mansions, plus the Tang Dynasty is martial, the people are brave, and everyone is willing to join the army. Therefore, there was a steady stream of soldiers, and the dynasty was powerful. Therefore, it is said that the government military system is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty's strength. However, there is also a little shortcoming, it is precisely because of the unity of soldiers and peasants that the cavalry in the government must be too scarce to fight for my Tang Dynasty. ”

Du He's voice fell, Li Shimin "brushed", stood up, stared at Du He with tiger eyes, and showed an incredible look in his eyes.

Today, he just received information from Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that this year's newly recruited government soldiers are as high as 150,000, but less than 10,000 of them are good at riding.

Everything is just as Duhe said.
