Chapter 699
The Lishan Hot Spring Palace is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
It took half a day to go back and forth. The emperor got up early in the morning and rode around Luocheng, climbed Zuomaling, returned from Xixiuling, passed through Zhaoyang Gate, went to Jiulong Tang to soak in the hot spring, and then had breakfast with Empress Changsun and the princes and princesses in Feishuang Hall.
After drinking a cup of morning tea, I rode my horse out of Jinyang Gate, crossed Wangxian Bridge, and came to the martial arts lecture hall outside the gate of the palace. At this time, the Yulin Lang had finished the morning exercise and started class with breakfast.
Li Shimin personally taught them the art of war today.
"In this lesson today, let's talk about two battle examples. Let's compare them. They are the 180,000 Duke of Dai Li Jing's army of six northward attacks against the Turks, and the Duke of Wei Qin Lang and 20,000 Longyou Army of Longyou Army. The two battles are the battles of destruction since I ascended the throne. They are heart-wrenching, but each has its own characteristics and are classic battles. It is worth your deep study...
The emperor transformed into an instructor and asked someone to take out the sand table that had been prepared long ago. He began to review the two battles with the Yulin Lang and analyzed the details in depth. Li Shimin himself was excited. Li Jing attacked with the pressure of Mount Tai, but he also used a surprise force to win. He caught Jie Li off guard. In the end, he had very strong strength, but he had no chance to play it out at all. He chased him all the way, and finally let the Tang Dynasty capture Jie Li at a very small price for casualties and force him to surrender suddenly.
Of course, from a tactical perspective, Qin Lang used his troops more fiercely. He started with the Battle of Kushan, and fought one after another. He rushed over and one wave after another, causing Fu Yun to run around and flee. He divided his troops and asked Cheng Yaojin to go south. Although he was in danger, he was well aware of the way of using troops. Finally, he was able to destroy Tuyuhun in one fell swoop at the Wild Horse Platform...
I took the class for two hours in one go, but the tactical class only started with the beginning, and there was still too much content to be finished in the two major battles.
"I'll stop here today. After you go back, you will write an experience. Next time we will continue to talk about the follow-up!"
Yulinlang was selected by the emperor from the six or seven hundred thousand soldiers in the world. They were all young and strong, especially meritorious soldiers with great reputations. They were basically the deputy flag bearers of the Fire Chief Team. Although they were all those who had no official ranks, they were also the foundation of the army.
Li Shimin was the one who led the army to conquer the world and knew the best what this group of soldiers meant, so he selected young, strong and brave ones to enter the capital one after another, and trained himself, and asked the generals and generals of the guards to teach, so that these warriors would become the pillars of the Tang army in the future.
The Yulin Camp has now expanded to 5,000 people, and is affiliated with the left and right Yulin Army. It is also the Baiqi Camp, and it is the personal army that the emperor trusts the most.
The emperor valued the Yulin Lang very much, calling them his disciples and personal military attendants, and he could even call out the name of each Yulin Lang.
Yulinlang will be recruited for five years. Every year, there will be a new period of two thousand people in one period, but in the first year, one thousand people will be eliminated, leaving only one thousand people. After the five years, the martial arts ranks from the ninth level or from the ninth level will be awarded to the army. Among them, the best will be awarded to the ninth level or the ninth level, and the best will be awarded to the eighth level.
Although the rank is not high, everyone knows that they can be guarded by the emperor for five years and receive personal guidance from the emperor and the generals. After being deported, they can be promoted to the sixth and seventh rank captain in three or five years.
This year, Yulin Lang is about to graduate and will go to various places to join the army.
Li Shimin also added courses, often riding horses and shooting archery together, and even playing polo.
"In the afternoon, I went to Zuomaling to hunt. In the morning, I went to go to the horses and found a big wild boar running on the road."
It was agreed to go hunting in the afternoon, and the emperor and the Yulin Lang had a meal together.
Wang Lin, the head of the Palace Front Office, came over and said, "Stay at home!"
"What's the matter?"
"The matter that I stayed at home and asked me to investigate has already been found." Wang Lin handed over a memorial, and Li Shimin put down the steamed cake in his hand and picked it up and looked through it.
The emperor finished watching quietly, with no expression on his face.
"I understand."
The emperor then finished the steamed cakes, drank the mutton soup in the bowl, and finally got up and said to the officer Yulinlang beside him, "I can't go hunting in the afternoon, let's go another day."
The emperor rode his horse across Wangxian Bridge, entered the palace from Jinyang Gate, and went directly to the Seven Saint Temple.
"But you have found out?"
Li Shimin's face became a little gloomy, and he looked at Wang Lin.
"When I received the order from the house, I immediately asked the front office of the Palace to investigate immediately. Quan Wanji deceived the house. The censor Ma Zhou had explained the situation to the prime minister and the prince at the ruling meeting of the East Palace, and requested a retrial of the Li Haode case, as well as an investigation into whether Zhang Yungu was in a private manner."
"But Quan Wanji did not obey Ma Zhou's orders, secretly pretended to leave the city in private, ran out of the hot spring palace to complain, and deceived him to stay at home."
Li Shimin's eyes widened and his anger was very angry.
"It's unreasonable to deceive the king and the emperor in all power, it's unreasonable!"
When he thought of his belief in Quan Wanji's one-sided remarks, he ordered the killing of Zhang Yungu, a loyal and capable Dali Temple Chief, and Li Shimin regretted it very much. He misunderstood Quan Wanji's words and turned a small case into a big rebellion case, dismissed the two prime ministers and demoted several important officials. At this time, he was afraid that a great storm had already been set off in the capital.
The emperor clenched his hands into fists.
"Get up and go back to Beijing now!"
Li Shimin no longer had the mood to stay here to soak in the hot spring. Although this hot spring was expanded and renovated by Yan Liben and Jiang Xingben after this year. It was indeed comfortable to live in and soak in the hot spring, but now it can't be soaked.
"Quan Wanji, I want to tear him into pieces!"
The emperor issued an order to ask Empress Changsun to take King Wei Li Tai, King Jin Li Zhi, Princess Changle and others to stay in the Lishan Palace for vacation, while he took Yulin Lang to the capital with his horse.
The emperor rushed back to Chang'an in just over a year, just like on the battlefield that year, he returned to Chang'an in just over an hour.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the Zuo Jinwu Guard were also shocked when they watched Yulinlang holding up the Taichang flag with the sun, moon, stars, and nine dragons, and the head of the golden dragon flag from afar.
The Sun, Moon and Stars Three Chen Banners are also military banners of the Tang Dynasty, but the Sun, Moon and Stars plus the Golden Dragon Banner heads, and the Nine Dragons Changyu are also available only if the emperor travels.
Usually, two Taichang flags were planted on the emperor's golden carriage, but when Zi often rode on horseback when he went on a trip, two Yulin Langs followed behind each holding a Taichang flag.
The emperor is here in person?
Why are all Yulin Riders?
What happened?
Thinking of a group of Yulin Lang returning to Beijing yesterday, and today, the emperor came back without the palace staff, the Jinwu Guard was shocked.
They quickly cleared the people in front of the city gate and opened the gate of the gate in the middle of the five gates at the south gate of Chang'an City.
The emperor rode his horse and whizzed by without stopping.
The emperor suddenly returned to Beijing, and the news spread quickly throughout Chang'an.
Wang Kai, who saw the emperor halfway, did not care about his hard work and quickly ran to Chang'an again and personally summoned the prince to the palace to meet the saint.
At the same time, the eunuchs came out everywhere and went to various yamen to summon the prime ministers to meet the saints.
Li Shimin, who hurried back to Chang'an, entered the palace without even taking a sip of water.
So he was ready to handle the aftermath himself.
Fortunately, I saw Wang Kai on the road and knew that things had not turned bad.
Quan Wanji deceived him and took the sage to return to the capital, but the prince had already asked Ma Zhou to transfer Zhang Yungu to the Zuo Jinwu Guard. Wu Guang did not see the imperial edict and did not hand over Zhang Yungu to Quan Wanji. Quan Wanji intends to rob the prison, and the sancang department takes Quan Wanji away.
The chaos has not started.
Even because Wang Kai saw that the opportunity was wrong, he quickly reported him back and forth after seeing the prince, so the decree to dismiss the two prime ministers had not been officially read out, and only Quan Wanji revealed it to some people.
There is still room for recovery.
"My son pays homage to the saint!"
The prince arrived first, and Li Shimin suddenly felt relieved when he saw Chengqian.
Fortunately, the prince would have made a big mistake.
Not only did he want to kill Zhang Yungu unjustly, but he also had to dismiss the two capable prime ministers for nothing, and he also had to completely offend the brothers Yang Gongren for this reason.
Although the emperor is supreme, he also needs the support of his ministers, especially the top family like Hongnong Yang, who has always had a good relationship with the royal family. This was obtained from the two families' many years of marriage and alliance.
"I was deceived by Quan Wanji!"
Facing the prince, Li Shimin was very straightforward, "I listened to Wang Kai's report on the road. You did a good job this time. Quan Wanji falsely accused and bitten him. You did not obey Ma Zhou's advice, initiated a retrial of the Li Haode case, and an appropriate investigation of Zhang Yungu, and quickly found out the truth. He did not wrongly accuse Zhang Yungu, but also corrected the mistakes in the Li Haode case. He did very well, steady and generous, and had the style of a crown prince!"
Chengqian was excited and rarely received such praise from the emperor, but he had not forgotten Qin Lang's usual teachings. He should not be moved by his emotions and be humble at all times.
"The son-in-law also remembers the teachings of the saints. This case was also the one who first reminded the son-in-law of Master Ma to find flaws. The one who is truly capable of doing practical things is Master Ma and Sun Tingwei."
"My son, come and sit here!" Li Shimin patted the couch beside him and asked his son to sit with him.
The prime ministers such as Changsun Wuji also arrived soon, and Qin Lang still asked for leave but had not arrived.
"I want to apologize to Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia first!"
The emperor scared everyone as soon as he spoke.
Li Shimin stood up, and they bowed a lot. They quickly moved aside and bowed to the emperor.
"The two of you are not etiquette and have been fair. I misunderstood the power of all times, and it almost led to a big mistake."
Although the white mahjong has not yet been officially eliminated, Quan Wanji's words must have been spread.
Ma Zhou bowed again, "I was appreciated by the saints and led the Censorate, but failed to observe clearly, resulting in the emergence of the Censor Taichung. A treacherous minister like Li Renfa deceived the saints and made a big mistake. I am responsible for being unshirkable. I would resign as the Censor and the title of participating in political affairs!"
The emperor issued an order to dismiss Ma Zhou and Prime Minister Sun Fujia, and Ma Zhou and others had indeed known about it.
"I also misunderstood the truth. Fortunately, I found it in time and did not make a big mistake. I took back this life and apologized to the two Qing families. I will do this."
But Ma Zhou refused to get up and resigned.
This made Li Shimin helpless and embarrassed, and wanted to be angry but embarrassed.
