The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 24 Little cheater, old cheater

"I never thought that our little Qingque would want to be a general. I don't know what kind of general Qingque is going to be?" After hearing Li Tai's explanation, Li Yuan asked with a smile.

Li Tai didn't tell Li Yuan directly that he needed sixteen soldiers to protect his shop and workshop.Instead, he asked Tai Li Yuan for a general position, which is why Li Yuan said this.

"Grandpa Ninth Emperor will be the Supreme Emperor at the beginning of August, and my father will inherit the throne of Grandpa Huang. According to the ancestral system, the elder brother Li Chengqian will also succeed the crown prince of the East Palace. Can Qingque be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army?" Li Tai said with a smile on his face. Said with a cute expression.

Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Tai wanted to be the general of Zuo Yulin Army.He couldn't help looking at Li Tai suspiciously, and then asked, "Do you know what kind of official position this Zuo Yulin army general is. How can you be a six-year-old child?"

Since Li Tai wanted to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, he naturally had to do his homework.So Li Shimin didn't bother Li Tai, Li Tai immediately opened his mouth and explained the military system of the Tang Dynasty in detail.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was divided into the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Yamen and the Sixth Army of the Northern Yamen.The sixteen guards of Nanya are left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, and left and right guards.

Except for the left and right guards and the left and right Qianniu guards who supervise the soldiers and horses of the capital.The other fourteen guards also led Guanzhong and more than 300 government soldiers.The highest general is basically not set up, and the generals who lead the guards and the chiefs of each of the sixteen guards are the generals given the title.

The six armies of the Beiya are the left and right Habayashi Army, the left and right Longwu Army, and the left and right Shenwu Army. (The Sixth Army of Beiya was actually formed in the 12th year of Zhenguan, and it was the main force of the Xuanwumen Incident before. There was no title of Sixth Army of Beiya, and the Dragon Soul gave him this name in advance.)
And what Li Tai wanted was exactly this, the position of General of the Zuo Yulin Army, which was the emperor's direct army.Its importance can be imagined.That's why Li Shimin asked this question.But Li Shimin did not expect that Li Tai knew such details.

"Since you know the importance of the General of the Zuo Yulin Army, why did you dare to ask your grandpa to become the General of the Zuo Yulin Army?" Li Shimin's face was clearly angry.

If Li Tai hadn't said it, Li Chengqian would succeed the crown prince.It is estimated that Li Shimin will definitely now, thinking that Li Tai is plotting to marry him.That is definitely a royal taboo.No one can easily touch it.In history, Li Tai was demoted to the county king because of touching this taboo.

"Your father is right. This general of the Zuo Yulin Army is no joke. He is responsible for the safety of the capital. Do you think you can take on this responsibility?" Li Yuan asked Li Tai kindly.

"Grandfather, Qingque is here every day, working hard to exercise. I hope that one day I can lead the army and expand the territory for my Tang Dynasty. And my father has promised Qingque that he will invite Luo Tong's uncle to teach him Qingque marksmanship. I believe that with Uncle Luo Tong's careful teaching, Qingque is absolutely capable, and he will be the great general of Zuo Yulin." Li Tai said with a serious expression.

Not long ago, Li Shimin personally went to Jiangjiaji, and successfully met Luo Songluo Yongnian.After Li Shimin told his reason for coming, Luo Song still hesitated.In the end, Cheng Yaojin, who went with Li Shimin, touched Luo Song's heart with one sentence.

At that time, Cheng Yaojin grinned and said to Luo Song: "Now your brother Luo Cheng has already died in front of the two armies. Abandoning Luo Tong and your siblings, a pair of orphans and widows are in the capital. You are an uncle." , shouldn't you take a little responsibility for your brother under the nine springs?"

It was such a simple sentence that completely touched Luo Song's heart.Finally, Luo Tong agreed to Li Shimin's request.He also made an agreement with Li Shimin that after explaining the family affairs, he would come to the capital to teach Li Tai.

"I didn't expect Qingque to have such great ambitions at such a young age. I want to lead the army to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Since Qingque has this wish, then Grandpa Huang will naturally satisfy you. Grandpa Huang will come down tomorrow. The imperial decree orders you to be the General of the Zuo Yulin Army." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin in front of him with a smug look.

At this time, Li Shimin was feeling very uncomfortable. Before his father abdicated, he mentioned his son Li Tai to the position of General Zuo Yulin Army.In this way, Li Tai has absolute power in his hands.Will become the biggest threat to Prince Li Chengqian.

It seems that my father is deliberately making problems for himself.Maybe it was to avenge his Xuanwu Gate change.Let yourself feel it too, as a father.What kind of mood does it feel to see my son plotting against each other for the throne.

But no matter what, Li Yuan is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.If he let Li Tai be the general of Zuo Yulin Army, Li Shimin would have no way to stop him.Even if he became the emperor in the future, he would not be able to easily remove Li Tai from his position as the general of Yulin Army.That would likely fuel the prince's domineering arrogance.

Looking at his father and his son with a happy smile on his face.No matter what Li Shimin thought, he was being tricked by the two of them.But now Li Shimin is dumb and suffers from eating coptis.

"Qingque, tell your mother the truth, why do you want to be the general of the Zuo Yulin army? Don't tell me anything, you want to expand the territory. If you don't tell the truth today, even if the emperor will make you the emperor tomorrow Grand General of the Zuo Yulin Army, mother will never let you take office. Unless you don't recognize me as mother in the future." Seeing Li Shimin's helpless expression, eldest grandson Wugou Li Tai said.

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Li Tai drooped his head and said dejectedly: "Qingque opened a shop in Chang'an East City, and there is also a monosodium glutamate production workshop. It's all money. If Qingque doesn’t have the strength to protect them, they will definitely be snatched away by others. That’s why Qingque wants to be the General of Zuo Yulin Army.”

After hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin's heart was finally at ease.It turned out that Li Tai was not coveting the position of prince, but wanted to develop his own power.Instead, I want to make money for myself.It seems that this kid really fell into Qian's eyes.

"Da Tang Zuo Yulin Army, how can I look after your home and nursing home. If this is the case, then they have become your private army. Do you think it is appropriate for the court to use money to help you raise your private army?" Li Yuan heard Li Tai After thinking about it, he took Li Tai's hand and asked.

"If Grandpa Huang is reluctant to part with the military pay, then give it to them. At worst, Qing Que will pay their military salary in the future." Li Tai said with a very reluctant expression on his face.It gives people a feeling that Li Tai made this decision after making a lot of determination.
