The two uncles and nephews stood on a makeshift platform.

Yuzhou soldiers and horses are training in batches.

Pingwu Hou asked Ling Changzhi, "How is the military appearance?" ”

"Strong Army!"

Pingwuhou shook his head, "It's not good enough!" At least it's not as good as Liangzhou soldiers and horses! ”

Ling Changzhi immediately said: "The soldiers and horses of Liangzhou come from the bitter cold land and fight against foreign races all year round. Yuzhou soldiers and horses are located inland, which is a peaceful place. However, since the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou went to the northern front line to fight Wuheng, both the military appearance and combat effectiveness have been significantly improved. At the beginning, my uncle received the emperor's holy decree, and without delay, he personally led the army to the front line to attack Wuheng, could it be just to train the troops? ”

Pingwuhou did not hide his purpose, nodded happily and admitted, "The army, you have to go to the battlefield to fight before you can train it!" You Ling family members should also go to the battlefield to practice. ”

Ling Changzhi said softly: "I have added my own soldiers to the Southern Army, and I am currently a little advanced. ”

Pingwu Hou sneered, "A group of anti-thieves, unorganized. You should go to the north to fight, to fight Wuheng, to fight the aliens. ”

Ling Changzhi said solemnly: "I will not leave the capital. It's not that I'm afraid of going to the front to suffer, it's that my goals are different from those of my uncle. ”

Pingwuhou glanced at him with a complicated look and smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Tell Your Majesty that Benhou will bring eight thousand soldiers and horses into the city. ”

Ling Changzhi frowned slightly, "Eight thousand soldiers and horses are too much, and the opposition of the imperial court has come and gone!" I thought that 5,000 soldiers and horses would be enough! ”

Pingwu Hou played with the horse whip in his hand, "Are you worried that Benhou will force the palace?" ”

Ling Changzhi laughed, "Uncle just likes to laugh!" The uncle is the minister of the humerus of the court, and after he is a loyal minister, how can he force the palace. Only the rebels and thieves will force the palace! ”

"Changzhi, are you turning a corner to remind Ben Hou, don't be a rebel and a thief? If Ben Hou has this heart, can he still fight in the north obediently, and a dozen will be a few years? ”

"My uncle said that the purpose of fighting a war is to train soldiers! Yuzhou soldiers and horses are already a strong army in the world, invincible, the world is big, you can go anywhere! ”

"Hahaha......"

Pingwuhou laughed loudly.

After laughing, he said very dryly: "Five thousand is five thousand!" Ben Hou brought 5,000 soldiers and horses into the city to meet the saint! Ben Hou might as well tell you that Ben Hou needs 5,000 loads of grain and grass, 10,000 war horses, and some ordnance and bedding! Ben Hou will give you a list, and you ask the court to prepare all the things for Ben Hou according to the number on the list. ”

Ling Changzhi was embarrassed and rubbed his eyebrows, "Nowadays, the imperial court is so poor that it is almost impossible to open the pot, and the warehouse of the household department is so empty that it can run a mouse. is also a young house, and he has saved some belongings, but he can't bear his uncle's request. I can reply to my uncle now, the court can't afford to give my uncle the supplies he needs. ”

Pingwu Hou smiled, "Don't worry, the imperial court must have a way to prepare the materials that Benhou needs." For more than 100 years in the Great Wei Dynasty, Benhou knows better than you how much money the royal family has saved in private. ”

Ling Changzhi retorted: "Since Zhong Yuma took over the Shaofu, the accounts of the Shaofu have basically been made public. Shaofu has no money left, and they are all counting on collecting the world's taxes after the autumn harvest this year. ”

Pingwu Hou laughed, "Changzhi, Changzhi, it seems that there are some things that you really don't know." In addition to the Shaofu, the royal family also has a private treasury. In all dynasties, the Son of Heaven would replenish his private treasury with gold, silver, and money. ”

Ling Changzhi frowned, a little incredulous, "The royal family really has another private treasury?" ”

"Of course! Shaofu is just a big housekeeper on the surface, and the private treasury is the emperor's real small treasury. Why does Shaofu never worry about money? Because Shaofu has no money, he can also withdraw money from the private treasury to spend it. ”

Ling Changzhi frowned and asked, "How does my uncle know that there is still money in the private treasury?" ”

Pingwuhou said: "Even if there is no money in the private treasury, there are still nineteen guards!" The money of the Nineteenth Guard, in the current situation, should be taken out and spent. ”

Ling Changzhi's face changed slightly, "I always thought that the Nineteen Guards were just rumors!" ”

"Since it's a rumor, it has its own origins! What do you think the Nineteen Guards do? Is it a yamen that specializes in killing people? Wrong! Nineteen Guards actually rarely kill, and the real duty of Nineteen Guards is to prepare a way back for the imperial court and the royal family! Make sure that the Great Wei River is not encroached upon by the enemy! ”

Ling Changzhi's heart was surging, but his face was as calm as ever.

He asked, "How can my uncle know so much about the situation of the Nineteen Guards?" Could it be that my uncle used to be a member of the Nineteenth Guard? ”

Pingwu Hou patted him on the shoulder, "The last commander of the Nineteenth Guard, I talked to him and explained to him, and he was a difficult character. Fortunately, he is dead! This generation of Nineteen Guards Commander is a sick man, and Ben Hou is planning to take the time to visit. Maybe the next commander of the Nineteen Guards has been chosen! ”

Ling Changzhi opened his mouth, obviously shocked and unable to hide his emotions.

"He turned out to be the commander of the Nineteenth Guard?"

Pingwuhou laughed out loud, "Prince Ping is the commander of the Nineteen Guards, is this very strange?" As a prince, just because of his weak body, he has no intention of the throne, and he does not fight or grab, don't you feel suspicious? ”

Ling Changzhi shook his head, "Is he really the commander of the Nineteenth Guard?" ”

"It's true! So, you don't have to worry about the emperor running out of money! The emperor just looks poor, and the accumulation of more than a hundred years is piled up in the private treasury, or pinched in the hands of the nineteen guards. Ben Hou wants a little material, but it's just a drop in the bucket. ”

Ling Changzhi took a deep breath, "Who else knows that Prince Ping is the commander of the Nineteen Guards?" ”

Pingwuhou smiled, "I guess, those old guys should know about it, but they just refuse to pierce that layer of window paper!" Nineteen Guards is mysterious to you young people, as if it were just a rumor.

But for those of us who are old, the Nineteen Guards are never a secret. Back then, the 'Prince Zhangyi' rebellion case, there were the shadows of the Nineteen Guards everywhere, and the people who experienced it back then all knew it! ”

Ling Changzhi became more and more suspicious, "How could the Nineteenth Wei participate in the 'Prince Zhangyi' rebellion case?" This doesn't make sense! ”

Pingwuhou looked into the distance and sighed with emotion, "It's really unreasonable!" But you forget that the duty of the Nineteen Guards was never to correct the emperor's words and deeds, but to leave a way back for the Great Wei royal family to ensure the stability of the country.

You don't know how serious the situation was back then. Compared to now, there is more than that. It was a court battle that shook the country's foundation, and the internal friction withered from the south to the north! Its cruelty, its blood, is by no means comparable to what it is now.

You only know about the 'Prince Zhangyi' rebellion case, and tens of thousands of people died.

What you don't know is that before the rebellion broke out, the two sides had been fighting for decades, and hundreds of thousands of people had been implicated. The dead are countless, and the family that has been destroyed can't be counted on ten fingers.

The conspiracy case broke out, and only tens of thousands of dead people died, what is it.

After decades of infighting, I am afraid that no less than three or four hundred thousand people died. The families who were forcibly relocated alone involved in the population of millions of people. Of these people, I am afraid, only half will live to their destination.

All in all, the cruelty of its internal friction is rare in the world!

However, as soon as 'Prince Zhangyi' died, all these inside stories were deliberately covered up. You don't need Ben Hou to remind you, you also know that it was the handwriting of Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping, who modified the records and sealed the mouths of the people of the world, so people of your age know nothing about the things of the year! ”

"What does my uncle mean, 'Prince Zhangyi' deserves to die?"

Pingwu Hou smiled, "Whether he should die or not, Ben Hou doesn't know." Back then, Ben Hou was also a young man, and he was not qualified to participate in such a big event! Ben Hou only knows that 'Prince Zhangyi' is by no means a weak person, and he is definitely not a weak scholar as you think.

The 'Prince Zhangyi' I learned was a decisive man. In the court struggle provoked by his hands, there were no less than 100,000 people directly implicated! The family that has fallen in his hands cannot be counted on two hands!

You say how much the world's families hate him! If he had ascended the throne and become emperor earlier, the Great Wei Dynasty would definitely have been different! The Ling family, the Shi family, I'm afraid they won't have the same scenery as they are now! Now, you should know how worried and frightened Yan Shouzhan was when he married the lord of Zhuyang! ”

Ling Changzhi was shocked by the sudden revelation and couldn't come back to his senses.

He rubbed his eyebrows, "My father and mother have never mentioned this matter. ”

Pingwuhou laughed, "That's because at that time, they were all children, and they were far away from the capital, so naturally they didn't know the specific situation." ”

"Why is Uncle so clear?"

"Did Ben Hou ever tell you that Ben Hou had personally witnessed the history of the 'Prince Zhangyi' and the fall of the East Palace? Do you know how powerful the East Palace was back then? It's unimaginably big. The guard camp of the East Palace has 12,000 people, far exceeding the upper limit of the number stipulated by the imperial court system. The subordinate officials of the East Palace, Qingke, there are thousands of people! There are two or three thousand palace attendants in the East Palace. Up and down the court, all over the East Palace eyeliner! ”

"The East Palace is so huge, why did it lose in the end?"

"No matter how powerful the East Palace is, how can it compare to Emperor Zhongzong, who has imperial power! Of course, the expansion of the East Palace to such an extent is also the connivance of Emperor Zhongzong! Unexpectedly, in the end, he harmed others and himself! In order to exterminate the East Palace, the northern and southern armies, including the forbidden army, were dispatched together. Local generals were on guard around Gyeonggi. The scene back then was by no means comparable to what it is now. 'Prince Zhangyi' had already fled, and finally died at the hands of the Northern Army. ”

Ling Changzhi was taken aback, "However, all the records say that 'Prince Zhangyi' committed suicide in the East Palace!" ”

Pingwu Hou sneered, followed by another sigh, "That's just Emperor Zhongzong's wishful thinking!" In fact, 'Prince Zhangyi' died at the hands of the Northern Army. At that time, he had already escaped from Gyeonggi, but unfortunately entered the encirclement. In front, troops led by local generals blocked his way, and then the northern army pursued.

In the end, he died in battle and was carried back to the East Palace for burial! Emperor Zhongzong was capricious later, Xu really regretted it, and strictly ordered to erase all records that were unfavorable to 'Prince Zhangyi', only saying that he committed suicide in the East Palace, with both loyalty and filial piety! ”
