Took over the Hundred Riders

Li Shimin himself relied on the change of the Xuanwu Gate to ascend to the throne, so he obviously paid more attention to the protection of the palace than Li Yuan.

In this forbidden garden, Li Shimin has to arrange thousands of people to be stationed every day.

is afraid that some of his children will learn from him and make another change in Xuanwumen.

When Li Shimin brought Li Zhi here, he encountered several waves of patrolling guards along the way.

The two of them did not enter any of the palaces, but went straight to the northwest corner of the Forbidden Garden.

After the two walked through the northwest corner pavilion, they soon saw a huge courtyard that was separated by a single separation.

When Li Shimin and the two walked into the courtyard gate, Li Zhi saw at a glance that this was a military camp.

At this time, Li Shimin did not open his mouth to explain anything to Li Zhi, but directly led him to a low palace.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing at the gate of the palace, and each of them was not inferior to the generals of the Dragoon Army in terms of momentum alone.

Judging from the temperament alone, these people are more calm than Xue Li and others.

Because they are generally older than Su Lie.

The leader immediately saluted after seeing Li Shimin: "The eldest grandson of the minister Zhai has seen the emperor and the king of Jin. ”

After he finished speaking, the people behind him also saluted one by one.

Li Shimin nodded, and then walked directly towards the door.

As he walked, he spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the temple and speak." ”

Li Zhi followed Li Shimin into the gate and found that the palace seemed to be specially designed for meetings and offices.

At this time, Li Shimin was walking towards a desk in the center, and on the left and right sides of the desk were several chairs.

Li Shimin sat down behind the desk and waved to everyone: "You can sit down for the time being, I have something to announce today." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi sat down on the first chair on the left hand side with a puzzled face.

The general named Zhai Changsun sat directly opposite Li Zhi.

After the others also sat down, Li Shimin coughed lightly.

I only heard him speak: "The Hundred Cavalry Division has been established for many years, but it has never had much success before. ”

At this point in Li Shimin's words, Zhai Changsun wanted to stand up and speak.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely and continued: "I know that this is not General Zhai's intentional slackness.

It's just because General Zhai is not good at this. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then he continued: "Why is this not the case with me?

Over the years, although I have personally commanded the Hundred Cavalry Division, I have not been able to give any good advice? ”

Zhai Changsun opened his mouth at this time: "It's all subordinates and others who are incompetent, and they can't share their worries for Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with you and others. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to Li Zhi and said, "This Hundred Cavalry Division was formed by the Xuanjia Army back then.

According to my original intention, one is to find a career for these old brothers away from the battlefield, and the other is to supervise the words and deeds of hundreds of officials.

However, it seems that the monitoring effect is not very good, and many major corruption cases are not detected in advance. ”

When Li Shimin said this, Li Zhi's mind suddenly appeared with the images of those Ming Dynasty brocade guards seen on TV.

So I couldn't help but say, "I'll go... It turns out that Datang also has a brocade guard! ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "What did you just say?" What is Jinyiwei? ”

Li Zhi regretted it after saying what he said just now, and at this time, he quickly snorted after listening to Li Shimin's question.

I only heard him smile and said: "Erchen means that what General Zhai and the others did was like walking in brocade at night. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Wu'er summed it up well, the eldest grandson and others have indeed never been revealed. ”

After saying this, Li Shimin continued: "Now my father has the heart to hand over this hundred horsemen to you to take care of.

I hope you can lead the hundred riders to make some achievements. ”

Li Zhi almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing this.

He didn't expect that he had just handed over the dragoon army, the strongest combat force in the Tang Dynasty, with his front foot, and his Lao Tzu gave him a brocade guard with his backhand.

In terms of function alone, these hundred horsemen are much larger than the dragoons.

No matter how powerful the dragoons are, they can only be used on the battlefield, and the actual threat to the ministers of the court and China is not great.

Now that he doesn't plan to rebel, it's a trouble to have a dragoon in his hands.

But this Hundred Riders is completely different.

If this force is used well, then won't the lives of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty be pinched in their own hands?

In the future, it will be interesting if someone who does not open his eyes offends himself.

As long as you crook your mouth a little, wouldn't someone immediately hand over the other party's criminal evidence to you?

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke: "The son will not live up to his father's entrustment.

One day, he will make the Hundred Horsemen a sword hanging over the heads of those corrupt officials. ”

Li Shimin nodded after listening to Li Zhi's words.

I only heard him speak: "My father also believes that with your wisdom, you will be able to develop the Hundred Horsemen Division soon.

Among my princes, you are the only one who can reassure your father the most. ”

After saying this, Li Shimin took out a token made of pure gold from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Zhi.

After Li Zhi took it, Li Shimin said to Zhai Changsun and the others: "After today, you will be under the command of King Jin."

The decree of the king of Jin is my decree, and you don't need to report it to me again.

If anyone dares to disobey the order of the King of Jin, I will definitely punish him for the crime of deceitful king. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Zhai Changsun and the others saluted Li Zhi in unison.

Li Zhi said to everyone: "It's getting late today, so the king will no longer be verbose, and the king will come again tomorrow evening."

At that time, I hope that General Zhai will recall all the other subordinates to this place, and this king will arrange people to conduct special training for you and others. ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, Zhai Changsun bowed down and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Li Shimin saw that Li Zhi had no intention of staying here, so he took him out of this independent courtyard with him.

When the father and son were strolling through the forbidden garden, Li Shimin suddenly spoke: "You already have a manuscript in your heart? ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Father, these hundred horsemen are just a group of spies in the final analysis.

The main skills that need to be mastered are nothing more than tracking, stealing, eavesdropping, assassination.

In fact, all the soldiers of the Dragoon Army possessed these skills, and these skills were all taught by Erchen's subordinates. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin spoke: "Why don't I know that the Dragoon Army still has such skills? ”

Li Zhi said helplessly: "When the Dragoon Army was established, Erchen overestimated the armies of other countries too much.

So he trained the ability of the dragoons to be stronger.

How do you know that the armies of those countries are too weak, so that the dragoon warriors have many skills that they can't use. ”
