Chapter 21 Fame gradually gains

Wu Zetian opened his beautiful little mouth, rolled his eyes, and gave Li Longji a blank look. He just looked at you, and praised you for your temperament, and you actually beat a snake and took a stick to ask for reward.

The ministers were speechless, and even Di Renjie shook his head. Although Li Longji was extremely smart and saw the opportunity very quickly, he was too young after all, and it was too funny to compete with Li Dan for rewards.

Li Dan was a little worried, glanced at Wu Zetian and found that Wu Zetian had a smile on her face and was not angry. Then he felt relieved.

"Sanlang, how much do you want to reward?" Wu Zetian asked with a smile.

"What can I want? Of course, I need some convenience. The two grandsons, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, will definitely not give up. They will definitely deal with our family again. I have to make some preparations." Li Longji said in his heart.

Of course, Li Longji had a purpose in asking for rewards. He wanted to deal with the counterattack of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi. The two of them set their sights on the position of crown prince and regarded the prince's thorn in their eyes and were thorns in their flesh. They would not give up until they achieved their goal. This time they suffered a loss and would definitely counterattack.

If Li Longji could seek some "convenience" from Wu Zetian, it would be even more beneficial to deal with the two. Of course, it would be even more ruthless and would cause the two to fall into a big frustration.

Even if you can't get what Li Longji wants, there will be no charge. At most, just a few words of scolding. Of course, Li Longji will not miss this good opportunity.

"But it depends on my grandmother." Li Longji didn't say it out loud, it depends on what Wu Zetian could give him. If he was not satisfied, he would bargain.

"Even if you give me a chicken feather, I can also treat it as an arrow envoy." Li Longji said in his heart.

"Let's do it. Sanlang, for your safety, my grandmother rewards you with ten guards." Wu Zetian glared at Wu Yizong, who was as soft as a dead dog.

Wu Yizong drew his sword to face him and had a murderous intention toward Li Longji, which made Wu Ze very dissatisfied.

Any grandma will be dissatisfied with this, even if Wu Zetian is the queen or a strong woman, it will be no exception.

"Guard?" Li Longji was greatly disappointed and said, "Grandmother, I have a guard."

Li Longji was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and was named King of Chu early on. Of course, there were guards. He could call him and rush him to his back when he went out, and the guards were of little use to him.

"Grandmother is talking about ten thousand cavalrymen." Wu Zetian's face turned solemn and his voice was low.

"Thousand Cavalry?" A scream sounded, from the mouths of the ministers, all of whom were surprised.

"This..." Even an important official like Di Renjie was also surprised.

Li Dan even had an expression of wrong ears and hearing it wrong.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were also shocked and looked disbelief.

Why did their reactions be so intense?

This has to start with Qianqi.

Thousand Cavalry is the most elite army in the empire, no doubt about it.

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang started to build the "Hundred Cavalry". By the Wu Zetian period, it developed into the "Thousand Cavalry", by the Tang Zhongzong period, it developed into the "Ten Thousand Cavalry", and by the Tang Xuanzong period, it developed into the famous "Dragon Martial Army".

This is the most elite army in the entire empire. Everyone has chosen and experienced many battles.

Qianqi is usually responsible for the safety of the palace. The soldiers on duty outside the Wanxiang Temple are from Qianqi.

This is also the only army directly controlled by Wu Zetian.

Looking at the entire court, you can count the number of people who can get thousands of cavalry as guards.

No one expected that Wu Zetian would actually reward ten thousand cavalrymen as guards for Li Longji. Who would not be surprised?

Immediately afterwards, a series of admiration sounded, and everyone wanted to change their positions with Li Longji.

"It's really a bad luck." Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were naturally very unhappy. They were so trusted and valued by Wu Zetian, and they did not have Qianqi as guards.

"Sanlang is so lucky." Li Dan was both admiring and happy for Li Longji.

"Thousands of cavalry are all selected and chosen. Everyone is experienced in many battles. Not only is it skillful, but also has a flexible mind. It can be said that the cavalry is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, which is tantamount to an "Imperial Military Academy". Many of the people here will become generals, and some will become generals. If I want to build an army under my control, I just need generals. With a general, can there still be no army? I must not miss this opportunity." Just as everyone was admiring, Li Longji had already thought further.

If Li Longji wants Li Dan to keep the throne of the emperor, he needs to cultivate his own power, and it is best to control an army. He needs generals too much. And Qianqi is the concentration of generals.

The famous general, Guo Ziyi, came from the "Dragon Martial Army", which is now the "Thousand Cavalry". From this we can see how important the Thousand Cavalry is, it can be said that there are stars gathering.

"As for dealing with these two grandsons, I still have a chance, I will get the general first." Li Longji glanced at Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi and said in his heart.

"Thank you grandmother." Li Longji's face was filled with joy and a little unwilling, and said, "Grandmother, there are too few ten people. Can you give more? One hundred people, okay?"

Wu Zetian rolled his eyes powerlessly, and this grandson was too good at bargaining.

The ministers also felt powerless, and this Li Longji was speechless.

"Little monkey, don't be content." Then, Wu Zetian's face turned solemn and scolded: "What do you think thousand riders are? There are only one thousand riders, not one more, and not one less. You dare to speak so loudly, asking for one hundred, but you can say it."

The number of thousand cavalry is fixed, only one thousand, not one more, and not one less. If someone dies in battle, if someone "retires" or fails to meet the requirements of thousand cavalry, he must choose from the preparation team and make up for the number of thousand cavalry.

"You don't know, the civil and military officials in the court, except for the few important officials of the country, who can get Qianqi as a guard?" Wu Zetian pointed out Li Longji, and said unhappy, "It's the imperial heir, just Sansi, Chengsi, they don't have Qianqi as a guard. Do you want it?"

Wu Zetian was telling the truth. Only a few important officials such as Di Renjie, namely Li Dan and Wu Sansi, and Wu Chengsi did not have Qianqi as guards.

Although Li Dan and his guards were elite, they were more of "customs" and used to install facades. And Qianqi was the most elite army in the empire. They could not only install facades, but also fight.

"Okay." Li Longji looked unwilling and said, "Grandma, you have to let me choose it myself."

Li Longji's Lion King spoke loudly, asking for a hundred thousand cavalry, which was obviously impossible. He used it as a bargaining chip for this sentence.

"You choose yourself?" Wu Zetian was stunned. This grandson had too many tricks. He had to pick and choose when he gave a guard.

"Is it different for grandmother to give you?" Wu Zetian was a little unhappy.

All the civil and military officials in the court, who dares to choose someone like Li Longji? Even Di Renjie can't do it.

"Can this be the same? What I want is a talented person, preferably a handsome person. Can you give me a talented person?" Li Longji said in his heart.

"Grandma, think about it, I'm young. If they don't take me seriously, it would be bad." Li Longji smiled on his face, and looked like he was pleased with Wu Zetian, and said, "Isn't that better if I choose the right guards myself?"

"Yeah. It's reasonable." Wu Zetian thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay. Go and choose it yourself."

Qianqi is the most elite army in the empire. Everyone is very good at choosing and fighting. However, they are extremely arrogant and idle people will definitely not be able to catch their attention. Although Li Longji is smart, after all, he is young, so it is normal for Qianqi not to take him seriously.

Letting Li Longji choose by himself is more beneficial to Li Longji, but Wu Zetian cannot disagree.

"Thank you grandmother! Grandmother, you are so good!" Li Longji happily thanked Wu Zetian.

"Haha." Which grandmother didn't like her grandson's praise? Wu Zetian smiled happily.

After discussing the matter for a while, the court scattered.

"I've seen the royal heir." Just as Li Dan was about to leave, thousands of officials came to him and greeted Li Dan.

These officials are different from usual, very respectful and extremely respectful to Li Dan.

Li Dan had already experienced it, but was not surprised, and asked the ministers to be exempted from courtesy.

"I've met the King of Chu." These officials greeted Li Longji.

Li Longji's performance today was so eye-catching that the Wu family's children were speechless and made the Wu family's children lose face. This made the ministers highly appreciate it and looked at Li Longji differently.

"Die Renjie has met the King of Chu." Di Renjie walked quickly, first greeting Li Dan, and then greeting Li Longji, with admiration on his face.

Di Renjie was Wu Zetian's most trusted minister, and even he came to meet Li Longji, which shows that Li Longji had already gained a lot in the minds of the ministers.
