Chapter 2 Tianhe (3: 1)

"Oh!" Li Longji nodded and smiled. Although his attention was successfully attracted by Gao Lishi's words, "It's very close to the Wu family", his focus was completely opposite to Gao Lishi's hope. "In short, he is still my junior! It is really rare to stay in such a difficult place as Shule!"

"It's really rare!" Gao Lishi smiled and agreed, while secretly refuting. What happened to the emperor today? He first suspected that Yang Guozhong and Feng Changqing had colluded with internal and external forces. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly got to know a relative with an unknown junior?!

However, this blood relationship was changed. Although the queen Wu Zhao once killed Li Longji's biological mother, she was quite supportive of his grandson. Even Li Longji's reckless actions against Emperor Wu Yizong of Hanoi's county prince, asking whether the surname Li or Wu in the world was a joke. Wang Xun's great-grandfather Wang Xiangru married the niece of Duke Ying Guowu Shiwei. By seniority, this woman should be Wu Zetian's cousin and Li Longji's grandmother.

However, the family affection of the imperial family has always been even weaker than water. When Wu Zetian was in power, she almost killed the descendants of the Li family and cut off the clan sacrifice. After Li Longji and his son came on stage, they did not show any mercy to kill the Wu family's rebel party and their hijabs, and even ordered the dead Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun to kill the coffin, storm his corpse, and to quell his tomb. Gao Lishi deliberately led Wang Xun's identity to Wu family today. He thought that Li Longji would feel disgusted with him after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Tang at this moment, whether it was because of his old and soft heart or something else, that he suddenly missed the benefits of the Wu family again!

'If Your Majesty likes him, if you want to get rid of the roots in the future, it will be troublesome!' Knowing Li Longji's habit of employing people, Gao Lishi was so anxious that he was anxious. In fact, he had no big grudge with Wang Xun, and even praised this young man who was so crazy last year. The reason why he colluded with Yang Guozhong last year was to kill the other party. He had to make a little sacrifice in order to preserve the royal face. Anyway, for a powerful minister like him who can determine life and death, a small officer like Wang Xun, who is the lieutenant level, is no different from an ordinary ants. If you want to crush a few, you will crush a few, without any reason, and there will be no psychological burden afterwards.

However, since you have already taken action, there is no reason to take the knife back halfway. Otherwise, once the little person gained power, the superiors may not be bitten by him. Just as he was scrambling to think about how to deal with the aftermath, Gao Lishi suddenly heard Li Longji smile and said, "I remember it! His father is Wang Zizhi, the one who spent a lot of money to buy imperial edicts for my concubine back then! For this reason, many people have impeached him in front of me!"

"I remember it too!" Gao Lishi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed together. "The thing that Prince Zhi did back then was indeed very unique. No wonder scholars dislike him. If His Majesty had not spoken back and protected him, he would probably not have been able to escape safely!"

"Yes!" Li Longji was also very moved when talking about the old things. "Li Linfu did give me a bad idea back then! Fortunately, it did not cause any bad effects. In addition, Wang Zizhi's interference caused it, but instead attracted the attention of the nerds."

"I'm afraid he's also an unintentional act!" Gao Lishi became more and more anxious as he heard it. He really wanted to go out and see what evil wind was blowing outside today.

"Although I'm not interested, I've helped me a lot! Otherwise, selling official positions and titles alone would be enough for me to be scolded for many years!" The more Li Longji recalled, the more he felt that the word Wang in the imperial edict seemed to be pleasing to the eyes. "Zizhi is a kind and righteous person. For the sake of his beloved woman, he is willing to be scolded by the world. Even I admire this kind of courage!"

As he spoke, he gently lifted the red pen and clicked the fifth-rank character in front of Wang Xun's name. He was about to change it to a fourth-rank military position with the previous few people, but he felt that this change seemed to seem to be deliberately serious with his ministers. He simply let go of the word "zheng" and directly change the "five" in the latter to "four". Then before the word "Lang Jiang", he added the word "zhong" casually!

"Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi felt his heart tremble and almost exclaimed. Officials above the fourth rank, regardless of civil and military affairs, would have a special resume in the Ministry of Personnel. And birth, old age, sickness and death will be recorded truthfully. The silly boy Wang Xun was lucky today and was promoted to the fourth rank general by the emperor. In the future, it would be very difficult to erase him quietly from the world. Moreover, he was ordered to be promoted by His Majesty himself, and his identity was unintentionally higher than other generals recommended by the Jiedushi.

In other words, with Li Longji's handwriting, the silly boy Wang Xun became the royal confidant. Although Li Longji may not be able to remember him one day, and he gave a young man with ordinary abilities and backgrounds. The officials from the three provinces and six ministries below had no courage to guess. After Li Longji's handwriting and revising the edict and returned to the Secretariat, the officials would inevitably deliberately remember the name Wang Xun in their hearts. In the future, any good deeds in the court that would easily be rewarded will be given priority to the heads of people. As long as he made some contributions to Anxi, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel naturally had a lot of flattery, exaggerating the merits ten times, and could not wait to report them to the ears of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"What? Does Yuan Zhi think that my move is inappropriate?" Although Gao Lishi had lowered his voice in time, the Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty still keenly heard the strangeness in his voice, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is his blessing to him. How dare the general stop him?!" Gao Lishi smiled embarrassedly and replied in a low voice, "But General Majesty felt that this son had been promoted to a level one by Feng Changqing as soon as he arrived in Anxi. His Majesty promoted him to a fourth-rank general. For a young man like him who was less than 20 years old, it may not be a good thing to lead the army and stand alone without the necessary training!"

"That's right!" Li Longji has always favored Gao Lishi and would not doubt that there was anything else behind his advice. However, it was really hard to make him admit that he had mishandled it on the whim. After thinking about it, he smiled and gave a more reasonable explanation, "I am not giving him too much kindness. Instead, I praised his father for his unintentional help for me. However, some words cannot be said to the surface. Besides, the generals on Feng Changqing's side were only 40,000 yuan. How could he directly divide his troops to him just because I promoted Wang Xun to the General of the Central Army!"

Gao Lishi had no courage to argue with Li Longji, bowed his hand and apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty is right. It's because the general is too worried! Feng Laosi has always been very cautious in his work. I believe he would not rashly hand over the important task to a younger generation who has no experience in leading troops!"

At this point, no one can stop Wang Xun's promotion. Fortunately, Gao Lishi has other confidants in Anxi. As long as he handles it properly, he can still make Wang Xun's 4 or 5 burial place. It's just that it is a little more troublesome to operate, and it may make him extremely mournful and honorable behind him.

"You do your duty too!" Li Longji waved his hand generously, indicating that the other party should not be too modest, "By the way, how about the prince's side? It's summer coming soon, window screens, mosquito nets, etc., have you allocated it to the other side?"

"Go back to your Majesty!" Gao Lishi couldn't keep up with Li Longji's idea, so he first responded randomly, and then he carefully reported according to his previous habits: "The prince has never been used to going out. Those who are closer are Ma Shangshu and Zhao Zhan. Last year, his majesty told the prince to go out for more walks, hunt, and bask in the sun to nourish his body. In the end, he would follow His Majesty's will, and also transfer a group of flying dragon guards to the East Palace for his patrol to listen to him when he went on a patrol. But the prince seemed to have no change, and he was still stuck at home every day. Apart from playing chess, he just played the piano. No more..."

"Yeah!" Knowing that his confidant was wrong, Li Longji interrupted impatiently, "He is so calm and must not be able to change it for a while. Last year and this year, the inner treasury had a lot of surplus. In terms of daily consumption, you can give more people to the East Palace! Also, the number of people at the East Palace Six Rate is too small. You can pick out the outstanding performance from the Feilong Guard, and then transfer three hundred people to the prince, so that he can use this as a stance to supplement the six first!"

"This-!" Gao Lishi became more and more confused as he heard it. He really wanted to reach out and touch whether His Majesty the Emperor had a fever today. In his memory, Li Longji was not so generous to the prince in the past. Not to mention taking the initiative to enrich the Sixth Ranger of the Eastern Palace for the latter, even Wang Zhongsi, the governor of the four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, and Hedong, was seized from his post for no reason because he had a close relationship with the prince. Finally, he died of depression in his position when he was demoted.

This cannot be blamed for Li Longji's indifference. Since Emperor Taizong, it has been a common practice for fathers and sons in the Tang Dynasty to fight each other. First, there was the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and then there was the rebellion of the King of Qi and the rebellion of the Princess Li Chengqian. Including Li Long's basic people, under the instigation of Princess Taiping, they were almost in the same power as their father Li Dan. Therefore, whether it was Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and other central officials, or Gao Lishi, who was responsible for the guard of the palace, they instinctively regarded the prince as an enemy to guard the palace with Li Longji's acquiescence. Not only did they reduce the six-pointed rate of the Eastern Palace to the point of being in name only, but they even saved the daily expenses of allocating to Prince Li Heng. In order to prevent the latter from secretly colluding with court officials and making ill-intentioned plans whenever they had the remaining money in their hands.

Today, Li Longji felt something when he saw Yang Guozhong's excuse for vigorously promoting young people. So he was first annoyed that he would grow old one day, and then suddenly had the idea of ​​licking his calf. Just imagine that even a guy like Yang Guozhong, who had just ascended to the position of prime minister, knew how to cultivate successors for the country, so as not to be in trouble in the border town after the old generation of generals died. How could Li Longji himself have seen a shorter understanding than his subordinates?

Because of the above many reasons, Li Longji asked about the recent situation of the East Palace today. It was actually because of a father's concern for his son, rather than preventing the problem. Unexpectedly, Gao Lishi used his old habit to guess the holy intentions and could not make a turn for a while. Seeing that his most relied on eunuchs were confused, Li Longji felt even more guilty, and sighed and continued to add: "From now on, no matter what the East Palace needs, you should pay as usual! No need to ask me for instructions. Heng'er has been the prince for fifteen or sixteen years, so he has been careful. Don't be too slow to treat him just because he is cautious!"

A "Heng'er" shouted, finally making Gao Lishi realize his enlightenment. He quickly sorted out the chaotic ideas and confessed loudly: "The last general has never been slow to treat the Prince. But now His Majesty's guards are not enough, so he did not rush to complete the sixth rate of the Eastern Palace. If all the best among the Feilong Guards are added to the sixth rate, His Majesty's side..."

"I'll wait for the next batch!" Li Longji waved his hand and interrupted Gao Lishi with a smile, "First make up the prince's guards, it's okay for me to take a slow down here. In addition, you should spend more time on the White Horse Fort camp. I have also read Feng Changqing's memorials. Most of the young talents recommended this time are from White Horse Fort. This shows that my Guanlong children in the Tang Dynasty have not been hollowed out by the sound and sex as the legends outside. Their bones are still full of their ancestors. But now the world is peaceful and there are not many opportunities to make achievements to make them stand out!"

"No!" Gao Lishi stood up and clasped his fists and responded loudly. "Don't worry, your Majesty, within two years, you will definitely train your Majesty an elite army!"

"I believe in you!" Li Longji knew that Gao Lishi was deliberately pretending to be a brave warrior to please him, but Li Longji still smiled satisfied, "I know your ability. I don't need you to pull an elite army for me. Just dig out a few hundred more young talents like last year. Guozhong and the others are right. Feng Changqing, Geshuhan and An Lushan are not young this year. I have to make more plans for the future of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing this, Gao Lishi was immediately impressed. Yang Guozhong and others just found a beautiful excuse for promoting their own children. However, after Li Long's gene snobbery, they could alleviate the embarrassing situation where the Tang Dynasty's border towns are too powerful and the central military forces are empty. In time, the young talents trained with the White Horse Fort will replace the lower-level officers under the command of several major vassal states. Even if any military governor is unjust, he may not have the power to raise the flag of the anti-flag.

"The wise mind may not be! But I am not as old as a confused person!" Knowing that Gao Lishi had understood his true intentions, Li Longji smiled, "When I took back the Tang Dynasty from my aunt, the country was in chaos, you have seen it with your own eyes. Our monarch and ministers have worked hard for so many years, and what was handed over to Heng'er in the end cannot be the same mess. Don't be lazy, I am not lazy. Our monarch and ministers are not old, and there is no reason to be laughed at by the younger generation!"
