As soon as Wu Zetian's words came out, Yang Fan and Shangguan Wan'er were shocked.

There are only a thousand people under his hands, is such a military attache very big? There are a total of more than a dozen people under the chief executive prime minister of the political affairs hall, which is much smaller than the number of Zuo Er and Xu officials under the command of a small county and county commander of the third class, is his official child small?

Cao Renshi fought against the Khitan and led 160,000 troops, but his military rank was far inferior to Wu Youyi, who only led 6,000 troops and was awarded the title of General Yulinwei. Sometimes, the level of official position is not based on how many soldiers you bring, but on what position you are in.

What is 'Hundred Riders'? The 'Hundred Cavalry' is a relatively independent branch of the Yulin Guard, which is nominally under the control of the Yulin Guard, but in fact is directly dispatched by the emperor. What is Yu Linwei? Yu Linwei is the head of the guards of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. And the entire Beiya forbidden soldiers are actually the emperor's private soldiers.

Yu Linwei as the head of the Northern Ya guards, the quota of soldiers has 6,000 people, has been stationed on the north side of the capital near the palace, is the most powerful armed force to protect the emperor and the royal family, among which the most important gateway Xuanwu Gate is the 'hundred horses', that is, Li Bao'er pretended to playfully say that the descendants of the lineage.

Now Wu Zetian handed over the 'hundred horses' to Yang Fan and expanded it to a thousand people, so the armament that Yang Fan mastered was not just a matter of accounting for one-sixth of the number of Yulinwei in a simple sense, just as Wu Youyi, who held 6,000 Yulinwei in his hand, but was more powerful than the frontier general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, due to the particularity of this army and the criticality of the garrison position, the generals of this team could even compete with Wu Youyi, the general of Yulinwei.

Since the emperor had set up such a liliang alone in the Yulin Guard, it was obviously impossible for him to obey his fate. Therefore, even though his official position cannot be greater than that of Wu Youyi in terms of rank, he is not far behind in terms of power. This army is directly under the emperor, and Wu Youyi, the general of Yulin Wei, has no right to dispatch it.

Not only could Wu Youyi not be able to dispatch it, but it was also bound to be impossible for the appointment of officers in this army to allow others to be responsible for the appointment, and the Southern Ya Forbidden Army could not manage it, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army could not manage it. The political hall can't manage it, the military department can't manage it, and it is impossible for Wu Zetian to personally inquire about the arrangements of the generals, so this real guard of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to Yang Fan's.

In fact, the 'Hundred Horsemen' was originally the Son of Heaven Guard, but their number was too small and their role was very small, but once it was expanded to 'Thousand Horsemen', what would happen at that time? When Hitler first became chancellor, the number of personal guards was one hundred and twenty, and what happened later? Once Yang Fan's 'Thousand Riders' was successfully formed. That's the Panzer Division in the Führer's Guard Banner.

Shangguan Wan'er reacted immediately after being taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Fan with surprise and joy, but the first thought that came to mind was: "If this enemy becomes a 'thousand cavalry general', then people won't see him like he treats Qixi Festival, right?"

Yang Fan also reacted quickly, and was wondering whether to be humble or not. The emperor crowned it. It seems that everyone should be humble and then thank the order, this is the tradition. Unexpectedly, before he could pretend to be humble. Gao Gonggong hurriedly ran in. Panting breathlessly, he said: "Sage, sage, the envoy of the old mansion of Di Guo has reported the news, the old man of the country...... I'm afraid it won't work! ”

"What?"

Wu Zetian was startled, and when he saw that Yang Fan was still in front of him, he immediately ordered: "Hurry!" You rush to Di Mansion immediately. Visit the elders for me, go quickly! ”

Such an important minister, if he is about to die, the emperor must know his last words. The situation is urgent. Wu Zetian felt that Yang Fan was credible again, so he grabbed his strong match, Yang Fan had no time to think about it, so he quickly received the order, turned around and left. Wu Zetian said to Gao Gong again and again in the back: "Send all the people from the Tai Hospital, and be sure to save Di Guolao's life!" ”

Wu Zetian really values Di Renjie, especially at the moment when she is arranging a successor, and Di Renjie is the biggest helper of her chosen successor Li Xian, if he passes away at this time, it will inevitably interrupt many deployments that Wu Zetian has planned.

Gao Gonggong got Wu Zetian's order, and hurriedly turned around, and Wu Zetian walked slowly around the hall, choking. Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly persuaded: "The imperial doctor has been sent out, let them do their best." Life and death are fate, and the saint must not worry too much, so as not to hurt his body. ”

Wu Zetian sighed heavily, returned to the back of the imperial case and sat down gently, and said with a smile on his face: "The old man has not been in good health since the New Year, and this time, I am afraid that he will really not be able to hold on." ”

Wan'er pursed her lips and didn't speak, just walked behind Wu Zetian and gently massaged her shoulders, Wu Zetian leaned back on the cushion, staring at the colorful patterns on the caisson on the top of the hall stupidly, and only sighed softly for a while, and said, "Wan'er, do you know that I want to reuse Yang Fan?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's heart moved, and she quickly shook her head and said: "Bixia's wisdom is like the sea, Wan'er is really hard to guess. ”

Wu Zetian smiled faintly and ignored the compliment.

She sighed and said, "Wan'er, an emperor will never use the people of his own family to command the army by his side, since ancient times. Why? It's very simple, because people in the imperial family are qualified to be emperors, so the most important thing the emperor should guard against is his own people. I am an exception, because ...... I was in the two dynasties, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were also in the two dynasties, and their loyalty could not be guaranteed, so in desperation, I could only use the people of the martial arts family to run the army. ”

Wu Zetian can be wary of anyone, but not Wan'er, because everything in Wan'er is dependent on her, no matter how great Wan'er's power is, it is also a rootless tree and duckweed on the water, and only when she is attached to her body can there be liliang, so she never doubts Wan'er's loyalty, and she can rest assured to confide in Wan'er if she has anything on her mind.

"I'm old, and I have to think about what happens after me. But looking at the hearts of the people in the world, it is still in the Li family; The boy of the Chawu clan has no material to make, and I don't want to make a big mess behind me, so I can only consider choosing one person from my son to inherit the unification. Dan'er and the Wu clan have an evil relationship, which is irresolvable, and Xian'er is my only choice.

However, there is another section in the legend, I am worried that as soon as he ascends the throne, he will immediately restore the old system of Li Tang, and the Wuzhou Jiangshan created by me will come to naught, so I ...... At the beginning, it was a helpless move to appoint the Wu family to take charge of the soldiers, but at this time, it seems that it is a wonderful move, with the Wu family in charge of the soldiers, and the Li family in charge, restricting each other. Only then can I last long. ”

Wu Zetian sighed for a long time, and said: "However, this problem comes again, if Xian'er becomes the emperor, the Wu clan will not be reconciled, most of the government troops and border troops in various places are oriented to the Li family, but the whip is beyond the reach, and the forbidden army is close at hand, but it is mostly in the hands of the Wu family, I am worried that they will take risks." So...... I need a new Liliang to balance them. ”

Wan'er let out a light "ah" and said in surprise: "So, the saint chose him?" ”

Wu Zetian said: "That's right! A thousand horses is just the beginning, and when he expands a thousand with a hundred, it will be all after mastering. I will let him expand by thousands again, and I will build a Liliang among the elite of the forbidden army. There are ten thousand riders in hand. He is qualified to be a key to the balance of the Wu and Li families. ”

Wan'er's mind turned, and she said tentatively: "Yang Fansu has a good relationship with the Wu clan, isn't the saint afraid that he will fall to the Wu clan?" ”

Wu Zetian smiled faintly and said, "Originally, maybe it would, but after this incident of escorting King Luling back to Beijing, do you think that the Wu clan will still feel at ease to regard him as their own?" ”

Wu Zetian sighed softly. "They don't have the heart or the means, otherwise...... Why should I hand over the country to a son surnamed Li! ”

Wan'er frowned, and said, "That...... Now Yang Fan has the merit of being a dragon. The saint is not worried that he will completely fall to the Li family? ”

Wu Zetian said: "Therefore, I have to think twice about not making trouble with him again, and invite Yang Fan to his family banquet to mediate the relationship between them." ”

Wan'er let out a soft "ah", this time she finally understood Wu Zetian's plan.

Wu Zetian said: "The person I need, if it is a person from the martial family, then it will lose the meaning of cultivating him." If it is a member of the Li family, it will inevitably fall to the Li family in the future. It is to be like Yang Fan, who has a relationship with both sides, and is ambiguous, who needs him on either side, and he doesn't dare to trust him completely, and even entrust him with the major events that determine the success or failure of life and death! ”

Wu Zetian said: "Do you think that I chose him to go to Luling to pick up Xian'er?" Not without reason. Yang Fan is a smart person, and this time he took Luling back to Beijing, and his performance was particularly impressive. A smart person does things more complicated than ordinary people think, he will not make simple choices, and he will not easily trust that either party will reuse him and trust him after he has all the power. Therefore, he has to maintain strict neutrality, maintain this situation, and not let any side cross the line, and the longer this situation is maintained, the more stable his power and position will be. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's mind was extremely complicated, and she said softly: "The sage is wise and strategic, and thinks long-term, which is impressive. ”

Wu Zetian said gloomily: "It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven!" Yang Fan is only a link in this balance, most of the forbidden army is in the hands of the Wu clan, and Yang Fan alone cannot maintain this balance. Di Guo is highly respected, the pillar of the country, he is the heart of Luling, with him, my plan is foolproof. It's a pity ......"

Wu Zetian sighed again and stopped talking.

Yang Fan left the palace, hurried to the south of the city, and Ren Wei and other personal guards didn't have time to say a word, Ren Wei and others didn't know what happened, and hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Yang Fan has not been to the south of the city for a few years, but there is no change in the workshop, a grass, a tree, a brick and a tile, vaguely as before, Yang Fan has no time to see more, and he can't care about the rules that it is not suitable to ride a horse in front of the old mansion, so he galloped all the way to the door of the Di Mansion, flew off the horse and walked inside.

The door of Di Mansion was open at this time, and people kept coming in and out, and there was a Ding who saw that Yang Fan was dressed in military uniform, and his bearing was extraordinary, so he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, Yang Fan had no time to explain his identity, and only said: "In the Holy Commandment, come to visit the elders, and take me to see Di Gong quickly, without delay!" ”
