Chapter 24: Little Pit Daddy, Old Pit Child
"I didn't expect our little green sparrow to want to be a general. I don't know what kind of general Qingque is going to be? After hearing Li Tai's explanation, Li Yuan asked with a smile.
Li Taike did not directly tell Li Yuan that he needed to use sixteen soldiers to protect his shop and production workshop. Instead, he asked Tai Li Yuan for a general's position, so Li Yuan said this.
"At the beginning of August, the Ninth Emperor Grandfather will be the Emperor, and the father will inherit the throne of the Imperial Grandfather. According to the ancestral system, the eldest brother Li Chengqian will also succeed to the crown prince of the East Palace. That Qingque can not be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. Li Tai said with a cute expression.
Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Tai would want to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. couldn't help but look at Li Tai with suspicious eyes, and then asked, "Do you know what kind of official position this Zuo Yulin Army General is." How can you, a six-year-old doll, afford it. ”
Since Li Tai wants to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, he naturally has to do his homework. So Li Shimin did not stump Li Tai, and Li Tai immediately opened his mouth to explain the military system of the Tang Dynasty in detail.
The military system of the Tang Dynasty was divided into the sixteen guards of the southern ya, and the six armies of the northern ya. The sixteen guards of the South Ya are the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Wei Weiwei, the left and right military waiting guards, the left and right leading guards, the left and right prison guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards. (The dragon soul checked the information for a long time, and only found the name of the fourteen guards, and finally reluctantly added the Qianniu Wei, which only appeared during the Gaozong period.) )
In addition to the left and right prison guards, the left and right thousand cow guards to supervise the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division. The other 12 guards also led the Guanzhong, more than 300 government soldiers. There are basically no supreme generals, and the generals are the generals who lead the guards, and the commanders of the sixteen guards are the generals.
The six armies of the Northern Ya are the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right Longwu Army, and the left and right Shenwu Army, which are the emperor's personal guard troops, and the highest commander commands the army and the general. (The real formation of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya should be the twelfth year of Zhenguan, which was the main force of the Xuanwumen Incident before.) did not have the title of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya, and the dragon soul let him have this name in advance. )
And what Li Tai wants is the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, but it is the emperor's direct troops. The importance of this can be imagined. That's why Li Shimin asked this question. But Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Tai would know so much.
"Now that you know the importance of this Zuo Yulin Army General. Why did he open his mouth to his father and propose to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. There was obviously a trace of anger on Li Shimin's face.
If Li Tai did not say it, Li Chengqian would succeed to the crown prince. It is estimated that Li Shimin will definitely think that Li Tai is seeking a successor. That's definitely a royal taboo. No one should touch it lightly. And Li Tai in history was demoted to the king of the county because he touched this taboo.
"Your father is right, this general of the Zuo Yulin Army is not child's play. He is responsible for the safety of the capital, do you think you can afford this responsibility? Li Yuan pulled Li Tai and asked kindly.
"Grandpa Huang, Qingque is now exercising hard every day. I hope that one day I can take command of the army and expand the territory for my Datang. And his father has promised Qingque that he will invite Luo Tong's uncle to teach Qingque marksmanship. I believe that with the careful teaching of Uncle Luo Tong, Qingque is absolutely capable of being a good general of Zuo Qianniuwei. Li Tai said with a serious expression.
Not long ago, Li Shimin personally went to Jiangjiaji and met Luo Song and Luo Yongnian smoothly. After Li Shimin told his intentions, Luo Song still had some hesitation. In the end, Cheng Biting Jin, who went with Li Shimin, touched Luo Song's heart with one sentence.
At that time, Cheng bit Jin and said to Luo Song: "Now your brother Luo Cheng has died in front of the two armies. Leaving Luo Tong and your brother and sister, a pair of orphans and widows are in the capital. Shouldn't you, the uncle, take a little responsibility for your brother under the Nine Springs? ”
It was such a simple sentence that completely touched Luo Song's heart. In the end, Luo Tong agreed to Li Shimin's request. And agreed with Li Shimin that after explaining the affairs of the family, he would come to the capital to teach Li Tai.
"I didn't expect Qingque to be so ambitious at such a young age. wants to command the army and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty. Since Qingque has this wish, then the imperial grandfather will naturally satisfy you. Tomorrow, the emperor's grandfather will issue a holy decree and order you to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. After Li Yuan finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Li Shimin in front of him with smug eyes.
At this time, Li Shimin didn't want to be uncomfortable, before his father abdicated, he raised his son Li Tai to the position of the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. In this way, Li Tai has absolute power in his hands. will become the biggest threat to the crown prince Li Chengqian.
It seems that his father is deliberately making problems for himself. Maybe it's to avenge the change of Xuanwumen. Let yourself feel it too, as a father. What kind of mood is it to watch your sons calculate each other for the throne.
But no matter what, Li Yuan is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he let Li Tai serve as the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, Li Shimin had no way to stop him. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, it is impossible to easily tear off Li Taizuo's position as the general of the Lin Army. That would probably encourage the prince's arrogance.
Looking at his father and his son, that happy smile. Li Shimin thought and felt that he was calculated by the two of them. But today's Li Shimin is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis and has suffering.
"Qingque, you and your mother are honest, why do you want to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. Don't talk to me about anything, nonsense about wanting to expand your territory. If you don't tell the truth today, even if your father crowns you as the general of the Zuo Yulin Army tomorrow, your mother will definitely not let you take office. Unless you don't recognize me as a mother in the future. Seeing Li Shimin's helpless expression, the eldest grandson Li Tai said.
Seeing that his mother, the eldest grandson Wuji, was really angry, Li Tai drooped his head and said dejectedly: "Qingque has opened a shop in Chang'an East City, and there is also a monosodium glutamate production workshop. It's all white silver. If the blue finch doesn't have the strength to protect them, it will definitely be snatched away by others. That's why Qingque wants to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army. ”
After hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin's heart finally stabilized. It turned out that Li Tai did not covet the position of the crown prince and wanted to develop his own power. Rather, they want to make their own money and earn it safely. It seems that this kid has really fallen into the eyes of money.
"Datang Zuo Yu Lin Jun, how can I show you the home care home. If so, then they will not become your personal army? Do you think it's appropriate for the imperial court to use money to help you support a private army? After Li Yuan heard Li Tai's thoughts, he took Li Tai's hand and asked.
"If the imperial grandfather is reluctant to pay the army, give it to them. It's a big deal that their military salaries will be paid in the future, and Qingque can't pay them by himself. Li Tai said with a very reluctant expression. It gives people the feeling that Li Tai made this decision with a lot of determination.
