Ten days later.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Cheng Yaojin was reporting on the training situation in the army with the emperor.

The Northern Imperial Army, who was responsible for protecting Chang'an City, was the emperor's private soldiers stationed north of the palace city and were mainly responsible for defending the emperor and the royal family.

Their elite level is naturally not as good as that of the Xuanjia Army.

But the combat power is also very good.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have allowed them to serve as private soldiers defending the emperor and the royal family.

A few days ago, the emperor received letters from several surrounding countries such as Goguryeo, Baekje, Xueyantuo, and Japan.

He said he wanted to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay his respects.

Although it is a visit, the biggest reason is to spy on the information of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is now rich in the country and strong in the people, so naturally they are not afraid of the spy of these envoys.

However, the style of a great power that should be shown to the messengers.

Just like now, the emperor sent Cheng Yaojin to train the Northern Imperial Army.

After the arrival of the envoys from various countries, the emperor prepared to hold a massive military parade.

So that these small country envoys with ulterior motives will open their eyes.

But now, Cheng Yaojin told the emperor that the training results of the Northern Imperial Army were extremely poor.

If you take off your armor and remove your weapons, you will definitely be mistaken for being a rural farmer.

"I know the truth, the Northern Imperial Army is my chosen military parade army. Envoys from various countries will arrive in Chang'an in one month."

"No matter what method you use, you must train them to achieve momentum."

"When I want to see them, I feel a shock from the bottom of my heart." Li Shimin slowly said to Cheng Yaojin with cold eyes.

Li Shimin regretted it a little.

If it were more than a month ago, I wouldn't throw Zhao Chen to the Songzhou front line.

Maybe he will have some good training methods.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Even if Zhao Chen is handed back now, there is no time left.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being incompetent, I really can't think of any good training method."

"If the soldiers come on the field to fight, they are all good people, but Your Majesty wants them to have enough shocking momentum when walking, I..." Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed.

"You can't think of more ways?" Li Shimin was a little unhappy.

As the emperor, you should arrange tasks for you, and then you can do it.

Why, can you still need him, the emperor, to find a solution?

Cheng Yaojin didn't speak.

If he had a solution, he still needed to tell the emperor that these were useless?

Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely, his eyes fell on Li Jing, and said, "Pharmacist, have you been writing military books all these days? What are the good training methods?"

Li Jing finally came to Tai Chi Hall today.

I originally wanted to confirm with the emperor the specific date of Zhao Chen's marriage with his daughter Li Ruoshuang.

The day chosen at the beginning of the year is Dragon Boat Festival.

As a result, because Zhao Chen went to Wannian County and there were many things there, the emperor made a decision and said that he would talk about it later in a few days.

It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival now, and it’s time to go.

Li Jing is old and now he wants to pick up his grandson as soon as possible.

Suddenly, when the emperor asked about the training method, Li Jing was stunned.

He has been writing military books these days, but most of them are also commanders and specific details of the battle.

He didn't say how to train the soldiers, who were not imposing.

This time I asked Li Jing about his shortcomings.

Li Jing stood there in a daze.

The scene was a bit awkward.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the emperor and obviously saw that the emperor's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Your Majesty, most of the military books written by me are based on specific combat as the content. They are really good at training the soldiers..." Li Jing was a little embarrassed, but he was also blunt.

At his age and status, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Your Majesty, if your son-in-law Zhao Chen is here, there may be a good solution, but..." Li Jing bowed to the emperor again.

Li Jing made the emperor unhappy now.

If Zhao Chen were here, wouldn't he have already gone to find him a solution?

Isn’t what you Li Jing said now nonsense?

"Oh, Duke Wei said it well. If Duke Zhao County is here, there will definitely be a solution."

"That's right. Although Duke Zhao is not old, his knowledge is far from what I can compare to."

"It's a pity that Duke Zhaojun went to the Songzhou border, otherwise..."

All the officials shook their heads one after another.

At this moment, it seems that many people think of Zhao Chen.

Little did they know that when Zhao Chen was in the court, these guys wanted to kick Zhao Chen one by one.

Li Shimin's face turned blue.

These guys...

"Your Majesty, the Songzhou front-line general Niu Jinda and the Songzhou general Liu Lan both submitted a report." The eunuch rushed in from outside the hall, holding a memorial in his hand and a small book.

"What happened again in Songzhou?"

"Last time, Duke Zhao led the Xuanjia Army and destroyed a thousand Tubo cavalry. This time, I won't..."

"Oh, what's the point of saying this? The most urgent thing now is to train the soldiers' momentum, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, this military parade is a time to show the power of our Tang Dynasty soldiers. We cannot let those people from small countries look down on you."

"But, this training method..."

The officials shook their heads again.

What they are most concerned about now is how to train soldiers, otherwise the emperor would not be anxious about them?

Li Shimin sat on it and heard a report from Songzhou.

It was also stunned at the moment.

He was thinking, could Zhao Chen have caused some big trouble for him in Songzhou?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a headache and waved his hand and said, "Read it directly."

"Yes." The eunuch received the order and slowly unfolded two memorials.

"I said, since I was ordered to guard Songzhou last year, I have been worried all day and night, and I dare not forget Your Majesty's earnest expectations. I should repay Your Majesty with this."

"The border is dangerous, and soldiers should die to defend themselves. However, if the Tang Dynasty's sons have appropriate training methods, there are countless people who survive."

"Zhao Chen, the Duke of Wannian County, created a novel training method. When he first met, he was shocked by the commander Liu Lanju."

"The formation of thousands of people is like thunder passing through the border. From a distance, I feel the passion and blood surging."

"I wish you the kindness of heaven, and I discussed with the Wannian County Duke and presented this training method to Your Majesty."

"The only thing that the Duke of Wannian County discussed with his ministers was that the training was greatly damaged and the army was short of meat. He asked His Majesty to allow his orders to keep the sheep obtained from the trade in the army for training for the soldiers."

"Your Majesty is kind, I will never forget you. I hope your Majesty will be prosperous for thousands of years."

"Min Niu Xiu, on the first day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Zhenguan."

Niu Jinda has a single name, Xiu, and Jinda is his character.

"Your Majesty, I've finished reading!" The eunuch looked at the emperor after reciting Niu Jinda's memorial.

At this moment, the emperor's expression seemed much better.

There was a faint smile, and there was a hint of smile.

"Come on, present the training method to me and see."
