Chapter 126: The Emperor Taishang is going out of Beijing
No matter what Yan Qing's background is, as long as Li Yu approves it, with the emperor's edict, she is the serious princess of Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty.
When the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty gets married, is it too much to ask for a dowry that matches her status?
In all fairness, this is not too much!
The problem is that Guo Rong is now a proper poor bastard, the one who has no money on him.
Now that the reward has not been in place and the salary has not been paid, Guo Rong can't even get a penny.
A dowry who matches his identity, Guo Rong's eyes are full of gold stars when he smashes directly, how much money does it have to be!
It was not only Guo Rong who was surprised, Yan Qing's surprise was no worse than Guo Rong's, as for Emperor Li Chun, he fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about the true meaning of his father's move.
"If I feel that the dowry is not worthy of the identity of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty at that time, I will ask the emperor to change the edict and give the marriage to another person who can get the dowry,"
"Guo Rong, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Remember that you only have one month, if you don't have enough gift lists for me when you reach the crown, there are quite a lot of people in Chang'an City, and you can do it yourself when the time comes!"
Originally, he was confused, but after hearing about Chang'an City, Guo Rong frowned slightly, Li Yu would definitely not give himself an impossible task, so Chang'an City is a hint for himself?
When Guo Rong was stunned, Li Chunze, as the emperor, immediately understood what his father meant.
The court officials, Zaifu, the forbidden army, and the border army all showed their submission to Li Yu now regaining control of the situation in their own ways, but there were still some people in Chang'an City who did not do so.
And the reason why they didn't do this was not that they were stubborn and didn't surrender, on the contrary, they were the biggest wall grass in Datang!
For their performance after this rebellion, both Li Chun himself and his father Li Yu were very disappointed, so the summoning and pacification that should have been carried out a long time ago was postponed by his father because of his physical need to recuperate.
In the case that the Emperor Taishang closed his door in the name of recuperation, they really couldn't express their submission to the Emperor Taishang in other ways like others without a serious official position.
They were uneasy, but Li Chun knew that his father was actually not feeling well, and he didn't even want to deal with them at all after he took control of the 60,000 Divine Ce Army and didn't need their support at all.
But if you don't deal with it, you can't do it, and delaying it for too long will become a huge hidden danger in Chang'an City!
And now, Guo Rong, who protects Guo Xin's identity as a righteous son in Anxi, has obviously become the most suitable bridge to communicate with them.
Li Chun understood in an instant, but Guo Rong was still confused, but before Guo Rong could understand how to get a dowry from Chang'an City, he heard the extremely dissatisfied voice from Li Chen.
"I understand, I'm still stunned here, hurry up and go back to me to prepare the dowry!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Guo Rong turned around and began to run out, he was going to go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion as soon as he left Xingqing Palace.
In the face of difficulties, when he is alone, he can only overcome them by himself, but if there is a person smarter than himself around him, Guo Rong will choose to throw the problem to someone smarter than himself.
Jing Zhaoyin, who he called him, was the only civil official he trusted in Chang'an, and Guo Rong believed that Wei Guanzhi would definitely give him reasonable advice, so Guo Rong was ready to discuss countermeasures with him.
And anyway, it's the trouble he caused, if he can't solve it, he will confess him, anyway, Li Yu also values Wei Guanzhi, and at most he will scold......
Guo Rong just walked to the door, but Zhang Taicheng was in a hurry, Guo Rong and Zhang Taicheng passed by, some doubts but Guo Rong didn't care, but before Guo Rong went far, Zhang Taicheng caught up with Guo Rong from behind out of breath.
"Guo Zhonglang, stay here, the Emperor will see you!"
Guo Rong was stunned, but he was the boss......
However, Guo Rong was quickly relieved, because he remembered that he still had a task to explain the idea of building the new army to others.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Guo Rong go and return, Li Yu spoke directly, but the content was completely different from Guo Rong's expectations.
"The dowry must be prepared, but the matter of training cannot be left behind, this year's Shangyuan Festival I need to see a new army that is fully equipped and truly has combat effectiveness!"
The voice was not as relaxed as just now, and the expression was not the usual banter just now, Li Chen's expression was very serious, and the face of the emperor Li Chun next to him was also very unnatural, as for Yan Qing, Guo Rong felt surprised and stunned.
This state is absolutely wrong, but Guo Rong does not dare to be careless when it comes to the new army.
"Your Majesty, from now to the Shangyuan Festival, it will not take more than four months to be fully fought, so that a new army from scratch can fight, four months is not enough no matter what, this is not child's play!"
"How long will you take!"
"First of all, we must complete the recruitment of qualified soldiers, and after the recruitment of soldiers, we will begin to carry out the most basic queue, basic combat skills training and inculcate common sense to cultivate the spirit of Datang supremacy, and this part of the training will be at least three months."
"After the completion of the preliminary training, according to the plan, the proportions of the arms and tactical training will be carried out, and the formation will be initially formed, and it will take at least half a year to retrain and run in to form basic combat effectiveness!"
"According to His Majesty's requirements, if it reaches or approaches the level of the new Shence army commanded by General Fan Xichao a few days ago, it still needs to be tested in actual combat and summarized, and it will take at least a year according to the actual situation!
"One year is too long, I can't give you a year, then I will give you another two months, next March, I need to see that this new army can at least reach the combat effectiveness of the border armies of Longyou and Jiannan Dao!"
For Li Chen's request, Guo Rong couldn't cry or laugh, and the emperor subconsciously regarded the Shence Army as the first in the world.
In terms of tactics, combat skills, equipment, etc., the Shence Army is indeed the first in the world, but it does not mean that the border army that has been on the opposite line with Tibet all the year round is weak!
"Your Majesty, this ......"
"I know that this requirement is a bit difficult, but in April next year, I will leave Chang'an with this new army in your hands, and it will be good to carry it out on the road to actual combat!"
Leaving Chang'an?
This amount of information is too much, but Guo Rong was a little at a loss for a while.
"Except for the Divine Ce Army that can't move, everything else that Datang has, I can give it to you, even if you ask Jia Xiang to be your army or marching commander, I'll help you convince!"
Jia Xiang, Jia Tan, that is, the veteran of the Six Dynasties who is in his eighties, trembling when he walks, and feels that he can't live for a few days!
Thinking of this image, Guo Rong couldn't cry or laugh, and asked this old man to be a ...... for himself to join the army
However, from this sentence, which was close to a joke, Guo Rong heard Li Chen's determination, this is a death order that he is not allowed to question!
With Li Chen's character, giving this kind of order in the military field, Guo Rong can only think of one possibility, war!
It is absolutely impossible to reach the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army in six months, but it is possible to achieve the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army with the blessing of the Emperor himself, but the price will be very high.
"Your Majesty, the price will be great!"
"It's okay, as long as Datang can bear it, even Jia Xiang ......"
"Your Majesty, Jia Xiangchen really can't afford to summon it, but the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for someone!"
"The minister wants to ask General Fan Xichao to be the general of this new army, to be stationed in the barracks of the new army, and to teach the experience and skills of marching and fighting in the large corps to the military academy of the minister and the new army!"
Guo Rong must have thought of actual combat and actual marching, otherwise he would not have made such a request.
Guo Rong, the general in the army, only knew one Fan Xichao, so he directly ordered Fan Xichao.
Li Yu was very satisfied with this unexpected and reasonable request, but after a little thought, he finally shook his head.
"Fan Xichao can't do it, I'm useful, but if you're just thinking about the actual march and battle, I can provide you with another person who can also meet your requirements, how about it?"
"Your Majesty, can the minister know who it is?"
"Don't worry, you'll see you in a while, and he'll listen to your explanation today!"
