The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a while, the reason is very simple, the news thrown by the emperor is too scary, and it scares these court bigwigs not to dare to comment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is now the fourth year of Zhenguan, and the Tang Dynasty has barely been thirteen years since the founding of the country, but how many soldiers and horses are there in the entire Central Plains?

Is there a million?

Yes, according to the establishment of the court, the Tang Dynasty does have one million soldiers and horses, this number sounds unmatched, but it is a pity that it is not accurate enough.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the government soldier system, soldiers gathered in wartime, idle at home in peacetime, at least 670,000 of the 1 million army were farmers, and there were only more than 300,000 troops in normal years.

Now the Marquis of Jingyang himself has developed 300,000, and the number alone is on par with the entire regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and the most surprising thing is that among the 300,000 troops of the Marquis of Jingyang, 260,000 are all cavalry.

O cavalry!

In the era of cold weapons, a cavalry could kill five foot soldiers, when Li Shimin attacked Liu Heimin in Hebei, relying on 30,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to dare to fight with Liu Heimin's hundreds of thousands of infantry, the final result is known to the world, and he actually won.

It can be seen how powerful the cavalry was in the era of cold weapons.

"What? I don't want to speak......" Li Shimin smiled and stared down with blazing eyes, no one knew what the emperor was thinking.

The Manchu Dynasty was still silent, and no one jumped out to comment on the matter.

The reason why the court bosses are known as tumblers is because they know how to see the wind and make the rudder, which is what the folk call the wall grass.

In the past, Han Yue was only rich, but he didn't have strong soldiers in his hands, so these bigwigs dared to participate when they opened their mouths, and they could splash a basin of dirty water at will.

Anyway, Datang did not say that he was guilty of his words, and there was a reward for participating in the performance, but there was no punishment for the wrong, at most, the emperor reprimanded a few words. When it's over, how should everyone participate in the performance, how should we break people's dirty water, and how should we break people's dirty water.

Now I'm a little scared!

The Marquis of Jingyang actually has an army of 300,000, and there are 260,000 cavalry, obedient my God, this is the first tyrannical force under the emperor.

Not only has money and soldiers, but also sits in the northeast, it is said that this young man's temper is not very good, he likes to kill people at every turn, he used to dare to slap the king of Han to death when he was not a soldier, and now he is in power, what else does he dare not do in the world?

The ministers continued not to speak, but Li Shimin did not let everyone go, and he suddenly threw out another piece of news.

I only heard the emperor's words with deep meaning: "Just last night, I received a message from the Marquis of Jingyang, saying that he was dissatisfied with Li Jing's stay at Yanmen Pass, and was ready to send troops to attack the grassland. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this matter? ”

The ministers looked at each other, and they all looked at the prince and the king of Wei, the court of Zhenguan for four years has been divided into three factions, the prince faction, the king of Wei's faction, and the middle faction.

Finally, someone got a hint and slowly walked out of the court.

The emperor's eyes swept away, and then he knew that it was a Confucian minister who came out, and he was sent to the East Palace to teach in the second year of Zhenguan, needless to say, it was also a faction on the prince's side.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move of the Marquis of Jingyang is inappropriate, not to mention that his private sending troops is a move to overthrow the national policy, just say that he secretly developed an army of 300,000, and now my Tang Standing Army is only 300,000, and he has also developed 300,000 as a marquis. If this person has a rebellious heart, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil. ”

This Confucian scholar spoke eloquently, but his tone was a little restrained, and most of the words of assumptions were used when playing, and he did not dare to use affirmative sentences at all.

Han Yue's military strength is too deterrent, and this Confucian scholar is obviously afraid that the conclusion is too deep, maybe it will arouse the jealousy of the Marquis of Jingyang, and it may become a disaster of death in the future.

The tone of his subordinates was light, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was the most anxious, and he didn't care about letting his subordinates test him anymore, so he jumped out and said loudly: "Father, the son wants to play, the Marquis of Jingyang has developed an army privately, this move has already threatened the court, and the army controlled by a marquis is on par with the entire court, and he is clearly trying to rebel." ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "He is going to attack the Turks, and he has not sent troops to Chang'an." Cheng Qian, you don't have to be anxious, since the Marquis of Jingyang can pass on the book to inform me of everything, then he has no intention of rebelling......"

"Father, this is a delaying tactic. When this person finishes fighting the Turks and his strength rises to a higher level, he may have to wave his army south. Erchen thought that this matter must be prepared in advance, and it is better to take precautions than to make amends, this is the teaching of your father to Erchen in your early years, and Erchen has always thought so. ”

Li Shimin seemed to be persuaded by him, and nodded slowly: "Then according to your intentions, how should I deal with this matter?" ”

"Cut off his lords, collect his soldiers, dismiss his officials, and pay his money!" Li Chengqian looked serious and said solemnly: "Father, you have given him too many things in the past few years, a young man who has not yet reached the crown, but the title is a first-class national candidate, as well as the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, the governor of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the marshal of the expedition to the east, the hussar general, and... And ......"

"And the Lord of the Bohai Kingdom!" Li Tai, the king of Wei, suddenly didn't say a word, smiled and arched his hand at Li Chengqian, and then stuck out his tongue to the emperor, looking very naughty and very smart, this matter is not a posture that I suddenly remembered.

Li Shimin nodded again, he looked at the two sons standing in the court, and sighed lightly: "Yes, I have given him a lot of things in the past few years, such as knighthoods, official positions, and even funds to protect the country." ”

This tone seems to be dissatisfied with Han Yue?

Li Chengqian's heart was overjoyed, Li Tai's eyes were also flickering, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and suddenly a vote of ministers jumped out of Hulala.

These people are the best at observing words and feelings, and when they saw the emperor's reaction, they shouted: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang not only developed the army privately, but also overthrew the national policy of the court, this is a malicious intention to rebel, and the ministers asked His Majesty to exert his authority, and issued an order to cut down his lord, collect his private soldiers, and pay the money, and then tie him up and escort him to Chang'an, and he didn't need to enter the Dali Temple for torture, and directly pulled to the long street to ask for ......."

is ruthless enough, not only do you have to collect troops and dismiss power, but you also have to cut the lord and pay the money, and sure enough, the people who are in the court are ruthless people, or if you don't make a move, you will die without a place to be buried.

Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and he suddenly asked lightly: "Your performance is very reasonable, but I have a sentence I want to ask Zhongqing, what if you are so harsh, what if the Marquis of Jingyang disagrees?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and they heard the emperor then say: "Cut the lord? He should be able to handle it. Dismissal? That kid never liked to be an official. Payment? That's the money people make themselves. Collect troops? Who of you dares to go to him and collect his troops......"

Four questions in a row, seemingly asking and answering themselves, but there was no answer at all, the emperor threw the problem to everyone.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to answer for a moment.

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, grinned, and said in a tone full of innocence: "Father, the son knows that the Marquis of Jingyang respects a person the most, as long as he asks her to come forward to do things, he will definitely succeed." ”

"You're talking about the Queen, right?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at this son meaningfully.

Li Tai blinked mischievously, and said with a grin: "Yes, the Marquis of Jingyang has always respected the queen mother, as long as the queen mother is asked to deal with it, the Marquis of Jingyang will obediently obey." ”

Li Shimin looked up at the top of the hall, and said with some emotion in his tone: "Qingque is smart, and what he thinks is deeply in line with my intentions. ”

Li Tai was overjoyed, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, although his heart was gloomy, but after all, he was too young to be able to do it for the time being, he happily bowed his hand and said eagerly: "In this case, the father and the emperor should not quickly persuade the queen mother, let her come forward to deal with the Marquis of Jingyang, as long as it is ......"

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly looked at him with great meaning, and interrupted loudly: "Your remarks are deeply in line with my intentions, but they are not in line with your mother's intentions, and they are not in line with Han Yue's intentions. ”

Li Taiden was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "My father's words are too profound, and my sons don't understand it. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You'll understand later!" ”

The emperor no longer paid attention to him, but turned his eyes to the ministers, and said with an indifferent face: "You want to cut his knighthood, remove his officials, collect his soldiers, and pay his money." I can find a way to do this, and the child with a good heart must be able to nod in agreement. After all, he once said that he was originally from a muddy village, and even if he went back to be a gangster, he could still eat three meals a day, go to bed happily at night, and definitely not be resentful of losing his power and wealth......"

Li Shimin stopped abruptly when he said this, and suddenly asked with a question: "Whether it is cutting the lord and dismissing the official or collecting troops and paying money, I don't care about these things, and Han Yue doesn't care, but you actually want to kill people, a marquis who serves the country and the people doesn't let Dali Temple interrogate and convict, and directly asks me to behead him, is this move too much?" ”

The Manchu Dynasty was silent, feeling that today's emperor's tone changed too quickly, and just now he agreed with everyone's invitation, and this moment seemed to protect Han Yue again, the ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know how to guess the emperor's mind for a while.

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly whispered tentatively: "Father, as long as you accept his soldiers and remove his power, and then confiscate his treasure house that is rich in the world, the son is kind-hearted, and can help him pray to his father to spare his life and let him go back to the mud village to continue to be a gangster." ”

Li Shimin laughed, suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, turned to the back of the palace and shouted: "Come on, take the letter of the Marquis of Jingyang and read it to everyone in the court......

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a guard suddenly ran out from behind, looking at the tacit understanding of cooperation, it was obviously Li Shimin's manpower arranged first.

The ministers quietly struck an abrupt feeling in their hearts, and they all vaguely had a bad feeling, today's court was full of twists and turns, and everyone jumped out too quickly, and it seemed that they had fallen into the trap of His Majesty.

I saw the guard holding a roll of cloth in his hand and slowly unfolding, opening his mouth and reading aloud: "A group of stupid. Forced, this Hou Ye has long guessed what you want to do, I may have backed down in the past, but now this Hou Ye just wants to say, why should I hand over the soldiers that Han Yue made with his ability? Foolish. Force, obediently watch the master go to fight the Turks, who dares to chatter, directly raise troops to destroy your whole family......"

Coax-

The court was shocked, the courtiers were shocked, the tone of the Marquis of Jingyang was too domineering.

Li Shimin smiled faintly and said: "Last night, the bird passed the book, and the child wrote a total of two letters, one for me, and the one I read now is for your ......."

The guard then read again.
