Chapter 21: Fame Grows
Wu Zetian's good-looking little mouth opened, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Li Longji, just to see that your kid is pleasing to the eye, and praise you for your temperament, you actually beat the snake with the stick and begged for a reward.
The ministers were also speechless for a while, and even Di Renjie shook his head. This Li Longji, although he is shrewd and very quick, sees the opportunity very quickly, after all, he is too young, and it is too childish to compete with Li Dan for rewards.
Li Dan was a little worried, and glanced at Wu Zetian, who now had a smile on his face, and was not angry, so he put his mind at ease.
"San Lang, what reward do you want?" Wu Zetian asked with a smile.
"What can I want? Of course, it's the right to be convenient. The two grandsons of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi will definitely not give up, they will definitely deal with our family again, I have to be prepared. Li Longji said secretly in his heart.
Of course, Li Longji's reward is for a purpose, and he wants to deal with Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi's counterattack. The two of them set their sights on the position of the crown prince, and regarded the imperial heir Li Dan as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and vowed not to give up until they reached their goal.
If Li Longji can ask for some "convenience" from Wu Zetian, then it will be even more advantageous to deal with the two. Of course, it will be more ruthless, and it will make the two of them make a big mistake.
Even if he can't get what Li Longji wants, he won't be charged with anything, at most he will reprimand a few words, and Li Longji will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
"But it's up to grandmother." Li Longji didn't say anything first, it depended on what Wu Zetian could give him. If he is not satisfied, he bargains again.
"If you give me a chicken feather, I can also be used as an arrow." Li Longji said secretly in his heart.
"So be it. San Lang, for your safety, grandmother rewarded you with ten guards. Wu Zetian glared fiercely at Wu Yizong, who was as soft as a dead dog.
Wu Yizong drew his sword and turned to Li Longji with murderous intent, which made Wu Ze very dissatisfied.
Any grandmother will be dissatisfied with such things, even if Wu Zetian is the empress and a strong woman.
"Guards?" Li Longji was greatly disappointed and said, "Grandmother, I have guards." ”
Li Longji was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he was crowned the king of Chu early, and there are naturally guards, he can call forward and hug him when he travels, and the guards are of little use to him.
"Grandmother is talking about ten thousand horsemen." Wu Zetian's face was solemn, and his voice was low.
"A thousand riders?" An exclamation sounded, coming from the mouths of a group of ministers, all of whom were surprised.
"This ......" is an important minister like Di Renjie, and he is also surprised.
Li Dan even had an expression that something was wrong with his ears and he heard it wrong.
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were also shocked and looked unbelieving.
Why did they react so violently?
This has to start with a thousand horses.
The Thousand Cavalry is the most elite army of the Empire, and there is no one.
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong began to build a "hundred horses", to the Wu Zetian period, to the "thousand horses", to the Tang Zhongzong period, to the "ten thousand horses", to the Tang Xuanzong period, to the famous "Dragon Wu Army".
This is the most elite army in the entire empire, all of them are selected by thousands of people, and everyone has experienced a hundred battles.
Qianqi is usually responsible for the safety of the palace, and the soldiers on duty outside the Vientiane Shrine are from Qiancai.
This is also the only army directly controlled by Wu Zetian.
Looking at the entire court, those who can get thousands of horsemen as guards can be counted on their fingers.
No one thought that Wu Zetian would reward ten thousand horsemen to Li Longji as guards, who could not be surprised?
Immediately afterwards, a voice of admiration sounded, and everyone was eager to change positions with Li Longji.
"It's lackey luck." Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were naturally very unhappy, they were so trusted and respected by Wu Zetian, and they did not have a thousand horsemen as guards.
"Saburo is really lucky." Li Dan is not only admired, but also happy for Li Longji.
"Thousands of horses are all thousands of choices, everyone has experienced a hundred battles, not only skillful, but also flexible, it can be said that thousands of horses are the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, which is tantamount to a 'emperor ** academy'. Many of the people here will become generals, and some will become handsome, and I want to build an army under my control, and I need generals. With generals, can there still be no army? I can't afford to miss this opportunity. Just when everyone was admiring, Li Longji had already thought further.
Li Longji wants Li Dan to keep the throne of the emperor, and if he wants to ascend the throne, he needs to cultivate his own forces, and it is best to control an army, he needs generals too much. And the thousand horses are the concentration of generals.
The famous general, Guo Ziyi, was born in the "Longwu Army", which is now the "Thousand Horses", which shows how important the Thousand Horses are, and it can be said that there will be a star-studded gathering.
"As for dealing with these two grandsons, there is still a chance, I'll get the generals in hand first." Li Longji glanced at Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, and said secretly in his heart.
"Thank you, grandmother." Li Longji's face was full of joy and a little unwilling, and he said, "Grandmother, ten is too little, can you give more?" A hundred, okay? ”
Wu Zetian rolled his eyes weakly, this grandson is too good at bargaining.
The ministers also felt powerless, this Li Longji was really speechless.
"Little monkey, don't be dissatisfied." Immediately afterwards, Wu Zetian's face was solemn and he reprimanded: "What do you think Qianqi is?" There are only a thousand horsemen, not one more, not one less, you dare to open your mouth so widely, ask for a hundred, you can say it. ”
The number of a thousand riders is fixed, only one thousand, not one more, not one less. If someone dies in battle, if someone "retires", or if they can't meet the requirements of a thousand horsemen, they have to be selected from the reserve team to make up the number of thousand.
"You don't inquire, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few important ministers such as the elders, who can get a thousand horses as guards?" Wu Zetian pointed at Li Longji, very angry, and said: "It's the emperor's heir, it's Sansi and Chenghe, and they don't have a thousand horsemen as guards." Do you love it or not? ”
Wu Zetian told the truth, there are only a few important ministers such as Di Renjie who have thousands of horses as guards, even Li Dan, Wu Sansi, and Wu Chenghei do not have thousands of horses as guards.
Li Dan's guards are of course elite, but they are more of a "salute soldier" nature, used to decorate the façade. And Qiancai, that is the most elite army of the empire, can not only put on a façade, but also be very capable of fighting.
"Okay then." Li Longji looked unwilling and said, "Grandmother, you have to let me choose by myself." ”
Li Longji's lion king opened his mouth widely, asking for a hundred thousand horsemen, which was obviously impossible. He used it as a bargaining chip, for this sentence.
"You choose?" Wu Zetian was stunned, this grandson has too many tricks. Reward a guard, he has to pick and choose.
"Grandmother rewarded you, isn't it different?" Wu Zetian was a little unhappy.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, who dared to choose by himself like Li Longji? Even Di Renjie can't.
"Can this be the same? I want generals, preferably handsome. Can you give me a gift? Li Longji said secretly in his heart.
"Grandmother, you think, I'm young, if they don't take me seriously, it's not good." Li Longji had a smile on his face, looking like he was pleasing to Wu Zetian, and said, "Isn't it better for me to pick the right guards by myself?" ”
"Hmm. It also makes sense. Wu Zetian thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay." Take your pick. ”
The Thousand Cavalry is the most elite army in the Empire, all of them are selected, and everyone has experienced a hundred battles, which is of course a success. However, their spirits are extremely high, and idlers will definitely not be able to enter their eyes. Although Li Longji is shrewd, after all, he is young, and it is normal for Qianqi not to take him seriously.
Let Li Longji choose by himself, which is more beneficial to Li Longji, and Wu Zetian can't disagree.
"Thank you, grandmother! Grandmother, you are so nice! Li Longji happily thanked Wu Zetian.
"Huh." What grandmother doesn't like her grandson's praise? Wu Zetian smiled happily.
After discussing things for a while, they dispersed.
"I've seen the emperor." Just as Li Dan was about to leave, he saw thousands of officials walking towards him and saluting Li Dan.
These officials were different from usual, very respectful, and extremely respectful to Li Dan.
Li Dan has already experienced it, but he is not surprised, and he wants the ministers to be exempted.
"I've seen the King of Chu." These officials saluted Li Longji.
Li Longji's appearance today is too eye-catching, scolding the Wu family disciples speechless, making the Wu family children lose face, which makes the ministers greatly appreciated, and Li Longji is different.
"Di Renjie has seen the King of Chu." Di Renjie came quickly, first saluting Li Dan, and then saluting Li Longji, with a face full of appreciation.
Di Renjie is Wu Zetian's most trusted minister, and even he came to meet Li Longji, which shows that Li Longji has a lot of weight in the eyes of the ministers.
Since this incident, Li Longji has become famous, and the ministers all know that the third son of the emperor's heir, Li Longji is extraordinary, courageous, and shrewd.
