"Did he really say that?" When the eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace, Li Er was reviewing the recitals. After hearing his reply, Li Er was stunned for a moment.

"Duke Chu seems to have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart, and the minister has no doubt that he will kill a sea of blood when he goes to Longyou."

"Yes! A sea of blood! You go back first, this time go to Hebei and bring Dugumou with you. Dugu Yanyun's enthusiasm has to exchange his son for the title of duke. I can't say that I'm a person with little affection. ”

"No!" The eldest grandson Wuji replied and walked out of the Taiji Hall backwards.

Li Er felt a little headache, and what he was most annoying about now was the lack of people. Admiral Tiance's Mansion is the cornerstone, so there seems to be no shortage of manpower in his entrainment. But when it was time to take charge of the empire, he realized how big this stall really was.

Datang does not lack talents, what Li Er lacks is talents that can be trusted. finally understood why his cousin, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, wanted to open the imperial examination. Most of the officials in this year were recommended by the gate valve. Drink water and think about the source of whose bowl you serve, and look at whose face. In many cases, they represent the power of the various gate lords, not the interests of the state, or the interests of the emperor.

Those imperial examination officials who are from civilian backgrounds will be much better. has no roots and no feet, so he can only hug the emperor's big thick legs. It's much easier to use than those recommended by the gate valve.

Two days ago, I found Wen Daya and asked some students who were about to graduate from the academy. After flooding the various yamen, it was generally reflected that it was actually very useful. These people are sensible, diligent, and the most rare thing is that their knowledge is better than those who are recommended or brought up by the imperial examination.

The chief officers of various departments have already begun to ask Li Er for people. The students of Lishan Academy are called by name, and now there are several such pieces on the imperial book case.

"Erlang! What's going on? The eldest grandson came out from behind the curtain, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand. The genes of the Hu people make Li Er and the eldest grandson still like to drink this thing. Especially after Yun Hao creatively developed the tea brick, Li Er had a cup every day.

"It's not Yun Hao's business yet! The imperial court can't send a big future to take charge now, and I don't feel at ease if someone like Sheng Yanshi Qiu Shili goes to Longyou. After all, the family is too thin now. There is no way, but let Wuji talk to Yun Hao. You know what? ”

"Doesn't he want to go? Also, military merit has reached the point of the county prince, and further up there is only the county prince. He is twenty-one years old this year, and he has mixed up his qualifications, so he can't mix up the title of county duke. It is also reasonable that I don't want to go to the battlefield anymore to tear up. The eldest grandson thoughtfully added a grape to the milk tea and served it to Li Er.

"Guanyin, you guessed wrong this time. What he wants is a promise from me! Li Er took a sip of milk tea, closed his eyes and said.

"Promise? Could it be that he wants to be promoted to the prince of the county, this is too fast, he is only twenty-one years old. The imperial court has no seal, this is not a good thing, he should be clear. The eldest grandson was very puzzled.

He told Wuji that it would be okay for him to go to Longyou. But this time, he wants to kill a sea of blood. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But those corrupt Confucians in the court will definitely not say this. Their heads are stuffed with those things that show virtue and benevolence. Yun Hao did this, and it would definitely cause an uproar in the imperial court.

This time, he asked me to endorse him. In other words, whatever happens, I have to carry it. As soon as he thought that he would be overwhelmed by the impeachment of Yun Hao, Li Er's head began to hurt again.

"He doesn't look like a person who is easy to kill, how could he make such a request?"

"This is to give me a problem, that is, to tell me. There is a price to be paid for activating him. If you can cause such a disaster this time, you will be able to cause even more trouble next time. And no matter how he gets into trouble, the final black cauldron has to be borne by me.

If you really agree, what will happen to the history books of Qianqiu? Boom? Huh? The Yan family has a tyrant's hat, and no matter what I do in this life, I will leave a reputation for eternity. This kid's tricks are amazing. ”

The concubine felt that he had been tired since he was a child. Listening to Yuan'er and Xin'er, it's winter. In addition to going to the toilet, he was able to stay in the bed all day. Over the years, he has been running around for the court and the Tang Dynasty, and it has been really hard for him. ”

"Hey......! Guanyin nose, you want to be bad again. It's true that this kid is tired, but it is certainly wrong to say that he refuses to fight because he is tired. He was afraid, he was deliberately fading out of the court.

At the age of twenty-one, the title was transferred to the Duke of Chu County. Among the generals of the former Niangzi Army, his prestige is higher than that of Uncle Huainan and Chai Shao. Guanyin, do you know? At the time of the Tongguan War, all the people of Taiyuan Xun School were only more than 40,000 people. At that time, the third sister's women's army was almost 80,000 people.

It can be said that the Women's Army is the main force of my Datang military. The third sister died early, and Uncle Huainan Wang is old again. The generals of those women's armies will naturally befriend him, the Duke of Chu with the highest title.

So, after the Xuanwu Gate. He will try his best to resign the title I have bestowed, so he will remove the official position of the secretary of the military department. This is a person who has a friendship, and it is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat. No matter how great the power in his hands is, it will endanger the imperial power. When the time comes, I will have to deal with it again.

I have a headache, and it is precisely this time that I want him to lead troops to Longyou. He led his troops into battle and never lost a battle. If I win, how will I reward him? Could it be that he really wants to be promoted to the rank of county prince? He is only twenty-one years old, and I am really worried that one day his ambition will swell and ruin our friendship for many years. Li Er rubbed his temples and said bitterly.

"The imperial court really can't send people?" The eldest grandson asked with an eyebrow.

"Now in Chang'an City, the biggest force is Jin Wuwei. Left Guard, and Right Guard! Jin Wuwei wants to maintain law and order in Chang'an City, and he can't move easily. The right guard under Jingde's command is already overstretched in charge of defending Chang'an City. Now the only one who can be mobilized is Zuo Wuwei. But neither Sheng Yanshi nor Qiu Shili are people who are in charge.

I went to see Uncle Bao yesterday, a fierce general who was like the wind at sunset. Now he is wearing a fur coat, and there must be a brazier in such a heavenly house. The imperial doctor in the palace said that this was the excessive bleeding in the battle in the past. Resulting in a loss of qi and blood in the body, it is not something that can be improved by just raising it.

Longyou is making a lot of trouble now, if you let those people in Youliang become the climate, and then collude with the Turks. In the future, it will become a great problem for the henchmen, and now that the Turks have just withdrawn, it is the best time to exterminate them. If you wait for the victory on the Hebei front and transfer a general from Hebei, then you will delay the fighters.

Ay......! There's no way, it's Yun Hao! I hope this is his last expedition, and I hope he doesn't have any other thoughts on it. Li Er drank the milk tea in the cup, sighed and made up his mind.

The eldest grandson glanced at Li Er and shook his head helplessly. Pick up the empty tea bowl and retreat into the curtain.

Yun Hao didn't like to enter Taiji Palace now, and if it was possible, he wouldn't even want to enter Chang'an City. As long as he entered this prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, Yun Hao could smell all kinds of conspiracies.

I can't figure out why the gate of the palace can't be poured with a little oil. Every time you turn it on, it makes a "rattle" sound, which is nice?

The Taiji Palace in autumn is very bleak, and as soon as the palace door is opened, a whirlwind will bring dust into it. The eunuch who came to greet Yun Hao became a native in an instant.

The attendants in the Taiji Palace have all changed, at least none of the attendants Yun Hao knew before are gone. The weather in early winter is sunny, but candles still have to be lit in the deep Taiji Hall. Li Er sat in the gloomy palace room, his two eyes illuminated by the butter giant candle, like two ghost fires. The whole palace is cloudy, and it is terrifyingly quiet. This scene is enough to make horror movies.

"Chen Yunhao, I've seen Your Majesty!" Yun Hao faced Li Er and gave a deep salute. This was Li Er's official summons, so Yun Hao was meticulous in his official uniforms. It's just that the overly young face is very incongruous with the purple robe and gold belt.

"Excuse me! I've thought about it, Longyou still has to go. Sheng Yanshi is your lieutenant. Qiu Shili is in charge of the supply of grain, and Zuo Wuwei has 13,000 people to be your subordinates. How is it? ”

Li Er really looks up to himself, and Wang Youliang of Changle already has more than 50,000 troops. plus the Qiang people who accompanied the rebellion, as well as the participation of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Zuo Wuwei's 13,000 men faced at least 100,000 fierce enemies who had been entrenched in the northwest for a long time.

"Zhao Gong said the minister's request?" This kind of thing, the eldest grandson Wuji guarantees that you just treat him as a fart. It is more reliable to finalize the heel with Li Er, without Li Er's promise, Yun Hao will not go to Longyou if he is killed. He knew that as long as he went to the northwest, the name of Rentu would be determined.

"Exactly! As long as you pacify the northwest, I will not count your killings. All the voices in the court, I will block it for you. ”

"The minister has no other requirements, and the minister will go out in seven days." Yun Hao gave a deep salute, and then walked out backwards.

It's going out to fight again, and at this time, it's much more important to go home and prepare for the expedition than to talk nonsense with Li Er here.

There was a lot of work to be done, including packing and taking away a month's worth of gunpowder production. I also have to carry those troublesome fire oils, in fact, Yun Hao doesn't like to use fire oil at all now. The most important reason is that this thing is so difficult to transport.

But there is no way, work overtime to prepare. The gunpowder was only more than a thousand catties, but fortunately, there was a lot of fire oil, which made Yun Hao feel a little relieved.

"Bring all the oil you can bring, this time we will have a fierce battle to fight."

"Handsome! Are we really going to the Northwest? ”

"Yes! This is likely to be the last time Ben Shuai led his troops on an expedition. ”
