Chapter 116: Li Shen's thoughts
Li Shen was late for most of the hour. The crown prince has already arrived. When I entered the Liangyi Palace, I found that the mainstays of the Tang Dynasty were here, thinking that they were discussing state affairs, so I was ready to wait on the side. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin opened his mouth and complained
"Why did you get there, waiting for you so long."
"Aya forgave his sins, and the child slept in the afternoon. I was just forced to wake up, and my expression was a little dazed. "What Li Shen hates the most is being woken up while sleeping. It's still a bit confusing.
"You're going to get up in the sun for three days in the morning. Need a night's sleep in the middle of the day? Li Shimin was speechless by Li Shen.
"Aye, I need to eat and sleep to grow my body when I am growing up." Li Shen quibbled
"You're full of truth. I've called you here this time because you're interested in your selection of guards. Tell you to come over and explain to you," Li Shimin didn't want to argue with Li Shen. Waste of time.
"Explain what?" Li Shen looked at everyone puzzled
"His Royal Highness King Ji, I would like to hear what the special troops you selected mean." Li Jing asked.
Li Shen looked at this seventy-year-old old military god, and his heart was also full of emotion.
"Actually, it's nothing, believe me, you should know about the attack on the paper mill. It has not yet been found out who did it. Five or six hundred people carrying military weapons and bows and arrows were able to reach Chang'an, which gave me a sense of crisis.
Later, I heard that they were dead soldiers, and I felt that I needed a force that could protect me. So I'm going to select some elites to be responsible for the security of my palace, it's as simple as that."
|“ But just now His Majesty said something about reconnaissance behind enemy lines, decapitation operations or something. And just now, I also briefly deduced that if these 3,000 people unknowingly entered Chang'an to assassinate various generals, then Datang would face a situation where there were no generals. At this time, if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Jing looked at Li Shen as if he didn't want to say more, so he asked.
"I can do that, and I had this idea as an assessment target at first, but I was afraid of frightening the adults, so I dismissed this idea. And General Li has thought about it. After assassinating a general, you still have to send troops to fight. Don't you still have to work hard and lose money. Li Shen looked at Li Jing and said.
"Then I don't know what His Royal Highness King Ji is going to do." Wei Chi Jingde asked curiously, and everyone also wanted to hear Li Shen's thoughts.
I watched a lot of classic TV series with military themes in Li Shen's previous life. There are also news and short videos, plus years of posterity thoughts, so I definitely know more information than these people.
"If you want to assassinate, then the first target is of course me, Aya." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and this King Ji was too daring to speak. Who doesn't know this truth. But no one dared to say it. And Li Shimin is nothing. Any emperor who has not been assassinated several times is embarrassed to say that he is the emperor.
"Of course, it must be too difficult to assassinate the emperor. The palace was heavily guarded, guarded by 10,000 or 20,000 forbidden troops. Relying on the palace wall, it is not a problem to block 350,000 people. So settle for the next best. It's to assassinate the crown prince," Li Shen said, pointing at Li Chengqian, who was standing beside Li Shimin. Li Chengqian was stunned. Everyone was also stunned, and the difficulty of assassinating the prince was not small.
"You might think that assassinating the crown prince is not easy, right? But you're wrong. Now there are only a thousand guards in the East Palace, and there are only 300 people around the eldest brother every time he leaves the palace. "The six rates of the East Palace are the government military system. There were 20,000 or 30,000 people in total. However, they all came to the capital to serve in rotation. The length of the distance and the length of service are also different. So it will generally be around six or seven thousand permanent troops.
"If it's well designed, wait for the opportunity. When the eldest brother leaves the palace, 3,000 people will be surrounded and killed together, and there is a high chance of success. Because this time we brought in not only swords, but also bows and crossbows. Li Shen asked Li Chengqian with a smile. After hearing Li Shen's analysis, everyone felt that it was indeed possible to succeed.
"What, and a crossbow?"
"Is Wu Wei so slack now?"
"I believe that if it were my people, they would have been able to successfully kill them in a short period of time without defense. As for the question of large casualties. 3,000 soldiers for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I think it's worth it. Li Shen said confidently.
Li Shen looked at Li Jing again and said. "General Li, do you think it's feasible?"
"His Royal Highness King Ji just said that the old minister thinks that it is very feasible, and the situation of insufficient guards in the East Palace is calculated or not, if the cooperation is good, it will soon succeed." Li Jing said to Li Shimin. But he asked another question.
"Even then, the old minister thinks that even if the attack on the crown prince is successful, the court may be a little chaotic, but the officials of the court are all there. This will not affect the operation of our imperial court. At that time, even if the soldiers are overwhelmed, they will not be able to defeat my Datang. "Li Jing means that if a prince is gone, he can set up one, anyway, Li Shimin has so many sons. And the mainstay of the court is still there. Datang can't mess up.
"It's inconvenient to say this. Just now I said that attacking the crown prince should not have been said" Li Shen avoided this question, he may not be able to teach others how to deal with himself.
"Do you still know taboos?" Li Shimin's face was very bad. Didn't this Li Shen reveal the weakness of the East Palace?
"Aye, I said it because I was worried about my eldest brother. The eldest brother was impeached in order to avoid suspicion and not to be attacked and impeached by some people. There are only about 1,000 guards in the East Palace. can't catch up with me as a prince. Big brother doesn't say it, but I dare to say it. He's just afraid of Aye, you're afraid of him and suspicious of him. That's why it's risky. You said that a prince, the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, was scared by your monarchs and ministers. Do you think the emperor who is restrained every day can be a good emperor in the future? Or did you originally want to train the future emperor to be what you wanted. Li Shen's voice became louder and louder, and he shouted out at the most.
"Tenth brother, don't talk nonsense. Big brother doesn't have the concerns you mentioned. It's just that there are too many people and the cost is too high. Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Shen was saying something rebellious, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"Hey. Big brother, you should be tough. You are the emperor in the future, and you will be so weak when you become an emperor in the future, so what kind of emperor will you be. Do you remember what I told you a few years ago about the understanding of the Tao? As long as you have a tenacious heart and don't go down the wrong path, you can do whatever you want. You must have this country and the people in your heart, and you are the benevolent king. "Li Shen hates that iron does not become steel. Li Chengqian is good at everything, has management ability, and behaves in the world. It's just that there are too many concerns.
