Wude Hall of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an!

Li Longji sat high on top with a solemn look, Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong lived in the hall, and his expression was also serious.

Gao Lishi was serving him carefully, and the entire hall was filled with a different atmosphere of depression.

"Your Majesty, Minister of War Guo Yuanzhen asked for a meeting!"

"Xuan!" Li Longji asked Guo Yuanzhen to enter the hall, and gave Gao Lishi a look at him at the same time. Gao Lishi understood it and walked out of the hall to let all the guard palace maids stay ten feet away from the hall and guarded outside the hall.

Guo Yuanzhen hurried into the hall. It was too fast on the way. Yi stopped and couldn't keep up with his breath. He coughed several times before he recovered.

"Mr. Guo!" Li Longji walked down the high hall nervously, went up to help him and said, "Are you in your body?"

Guo Yuanzhen took a step back, avoided Li Longji's support, and bowed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just that you are old, it's okay. Your Highness has not achieved great achievements, and the old minister dares not die."

Li Longji nodded worriedly, and his confidants drove Princess Taiping out of Chang'an. Now the only important officials who are truly intimidating around him are Wei Zhigu, Minister of Revenue and Minister of War Guo Yuanzhen. Losing any one will make the other party unable to support him. He is not allowed to be nervous and ask Guo Yuanzhen to take his seat.

Guo Yuanzhen nodded: "Your Majesty is eager to call the old minister, but things have changed?"

Li Longji took out a short knife from his arms, pulled it out of the sheath and said, "This is what Daoji asked someone to give to me from Luoyang. My aunt has been running to Tai Chi Palace a lot recently, intending to strengthen my father's determination to let me go on a tour. I have reached the extreme if I want to destroy my heart." Daoji is Zhang said, and he is the most respected planner of Li Longji. Not long ago, he was dismissed from the position of prime minister for Princess Taiping, demoted to the Left Chief of the Shangshu, and left behind in the Dongdu, and rushed to Luoyang.

Guo Yuanzhen looked at the short knife that was shaking with coldness, and his pupils shrank in his eyes, and his expression was heavy.

Li Longji said to himself: "Daoji is advising me to stop breaking and will suffer the chaos! I am not willing to sit and wait for death, and let my Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of a woman again. A real man would rather be broken than to be a complete one." As he said that, his eyes were sweeping in front of Wei Zhigu, Guo Yuanzhen, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong and said: "You are all my confidants. What do you think?"

Cui Riyong, Wang Ju made a statement first: "We are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Guo Yuanzhen and Wei Zhigu looked at each other.

Guo Yuanzhen said solemnly: "It's not that the old minister doubts Your Majesty's determination, but just wants to ask too much. Your Majesty has really decided? This is determined and cannot be changed. My people and others have all their lives. If they fail again, Your Majesty himself will not have a chance to turn things around. May I ask Your Majesty, have you really decided?" He asked again.

Li Longji said resolutely: "As for the Tanglong incident in the past, my intentions have been settled and will never change it!" Three years ago, he made a similar decision, and thus promoted Wei and Wu to completely punish him. At this time, he mentioned it again, showing that his will was determined.

Guo Yuanzhen and Wei Zhigu sat up and bowed: "I wish to listen to Your Majesty's order."

Li Longji looked at Guo Yuanzhen with a bright look and said, "Mr. Guo, when it comes to military affairs, we have no one to have you. You know my strength, how to operate it, and you have a better chance?"

Guo Yuanzhen said without considering it: "If you want to succeed, you should be the best. In terms of strength, Princess Taiping holds the Yulin Army, the Nanya Imperial Army, and 70% of the troops in the palace are controlled by her. Even if we gather troops, it is not enough to shake the Yulin Army. Any force of the Nanya Imperial Army will arouse the alertness of the Taiping Party due to the mobilization of the army, and thus all the previous efforts are wasted. When Liu You asked for an intention to kill the Taiping Party with a mutiny, he leaked the news and led to the current dilemma. We must learn from the past this time. Three hundred people, the old minister thinks that 300 people are the most suitable."

Listening to Guo Yuanzhen's analysis, Li Longji nodded constantly, but when he heard about 300 people, his expression was a little unnatural.

The Yulin Army and the Nanya Imperial Army had nearly 10,000 strength. Although these 10,000 soldiers may not be all the orders of Princess Taiping, even if there are only 10,000 people, they are not comparable to 300.

Guo Yuanzhen sighed when he saw Li Longji's expression, "Your Majesty, the old minister still wants to transfer Longyou troops into Beijing to kill the thieves. 50,000 Longyou troops to the old minister. Just because Chang Yuankai's stupid fool who didn't know the soldiers, giving him 100,000 troops is not the old minister's opponent. But as long as the Longyou troops move and foreign troops enter the capital, it can be imagined that Princess Taiping will definitely take the initiative and control the emperor and the emperor, and the situation will be worse. It is not without people, but the Taiping Party is spread all over the government and the country. Our gathering of troops is equivalent to notifying the Taiping Party for preparation. The three hundred people in the hands of General Longwu Wang Maozhong are credible, and their strength is not weak, and they can be of great use."

Li Longji also knew that what Guo Yuanzhen said was very true. Princess Taiping was not Empress Wei, Wu Yanxiu and others. The Tanglong coup was not so troublesome or so dangerous.

Cui Ri bit the bullet and said, "What is Mr. Guo planning to use 300 soldiers?" The gap in strength made him panic.

Guo Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "The most fearful thing in Princess Taiping's hands is not her voice in the court, but her Yulin Army and the Southern Imperial Army. With these two armies in hand, Princess Taiping can control the palace city anytime and anywhere. Who is not afraid of three points? Only by taking the right medicine can we work hard and do it forever. Control the Yulin Army and break Princess Taiping's arm first. As long as the Yulin Army is controlled, the neutral Wanqi Army will be used by Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty holds the Yulin Army, the Wanqi Army, and the Northern Imperial Army to threaten the Southern Imperial Army, Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong, and Cen Xi of the Shangshu Province are not generals who lead the troops, so they are not afraid of it."

The Northern Imperial Guards and Southern Imperial Guards in Guo Yuanzhen’s talk are all the forces that guard the palace.

The Northern Imperial Guards originated from the Hundred Cavalry of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Since the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Li Tang has continuously set up and expanded his direct imperial guards. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin created the system of 100 cavalry, and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi took the government troops and over the cavalry and set up the Yulin Army in the field. As time goes by, the Emperors of all dynasties continued to go to the Yulin Army, and the hundred cavalry added bricks and tiles, and the number of imperial guards became larger and larger. Today, the hundred cavalry has spread to ten thousand cavalry, and the Yulin Army has also spread to more than 5,000 cavalry. The Yulin Army is located in the north of the palace, and the two imperial guards have been called the Northern Imperial Guards.

As for the Southern Ya Imperial Guards, they are the sixteen guards stationed in the imperial city south of the palace city and are directly under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province. The sixteen guards come to the world's Chongzhe Mansion. Every period of time, the Chongzhe Mansions in various places will send elite soldiers to Chang'an to protect the imperial palace, which is also the backbone of the imperial city.

Li Longji was so excited when he heard this, especially when he was the North Control Organ and the South Control Organ, which made him feel itchy.
