Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 146 Mo Dao
On the second day, in the East Palace, Xue Rengui arrived at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, and Cao Shaoqin was already waiting there.

Li Fu must still be sleeping at this hour, but he has already told Cao Shaoqin to make arrangements for Xue Rengui.

Therefore, Cao Shaoqin took Xue Rengui to the guards' office, and introduced the three hundred guards of the East Palace to Xue Rengui.

In fact, the East Palace Guards Department has always been in a very embarrassing position, because most of the people in the Guards Department are former Li Chengqian people. Although they were eliminated once, they are still not welcome.

Therefore, the defense and vigilance of the Eastern Palace is now jointly managed by the internal guards of the Eastern Palace and Baiqi arranged by Li Shimin.

But because the inner guards of the Eastern Palace are now sent by Li Fu to the mine, it is impossible for Baiqi to keep an eye on the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace still needs its own bodyguards, so under Cao Shaoqin's selection, 300 people were selected.

It's just that Li Fu felt that Cao Shaoqin was his right-hand man and was not suitable for the position of chief guard of the Eastern Palace. Now that Xue Rengui was in place, he was naturally the most suitable to be in charge.

"From now on, the safety of His Royal Highness will be handed over to General Xue." Cao Shaoqin smiled and handed the token of the chief guard to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui quickly took it with both hands, "Thank you, father-in-law, hum..."

Before Xue Rengui finished speaking, Cao Shaoqin made a sudden move, turning his palm into a knife, and slashed fiercely at Xue Rengui's chest.

Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the father-in-law, who was smiling warmly just now, would attack him.

But he reacted quickly, and immediately moved aside, and then struck out with both fists, and the two immediately fought together, but after three rounds, Cao Shaoqin jumped out of the circle, distanced himself from Xue Rengui, and resumed his warm smile.

"General Xue is very skilled. When His Highness wakes up later, someone will naturally notify you, and you will come to serve him when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, Cao Shaoqin turned around and left. He just wanted to help Xue Rengui gain prestige in front of the guards of the Eastern Palace.

The guards in the Eastern Palace were all selected by Cao Shaoqin. Everyone knew Cao Shaoqin's skills, and almost everyone had fought against Cao Shaoqin. No one had ever been able to do three tricks in Cao Shaoqin's hands.

Just now, when Cao Shaoqin took the initiative to attack, Xue Rengui actually survived three rounds, still advancing and retreating. This allowed Xue Rengui to establish his power in front of the guards in the East Palace without being aware of it.

Cao Shaoqin was not purely helping, but also to test Xue Rengui. After three rounds of testing, he found that Xue Rengui still had something, at least he was much better than Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.

Of course, Cao Shaoqin wasn't serious either. If Cao Shaoqin was serious, Xue Rengui wouldn't be able to make it through him.

Xue Rengui looked at Cao Shaoqin's back with an expression of lingering fear. He had also seen just now that Cao Shaoqin was testing himself, and the other party didn't try his best.

Once upon a time, Xue Rengui always thought highly of himself, thinking that even if his strength was not ranked first in Chang'an City, it would be absolutely fine to be in the top ten.

But after the trial with Cao Shaoqin this time, Xue Rengui finally understood what it means to have someone beyond others and a sky beyond the sky.

The eunuchs next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace are actually so powerful, not to mention the palace officials. Xue Rengui suddenly knew that he was a bit of a spectator, so he secretly vowed in his heart that he must continue to work hard and continue to improve himself.

After Li Fu got up, he heard Cao Shaoqin's report and signaled Cao Shaoqin to ask Xue Rengui to meet him in the main hall.

But Li Fu didn't wait for Xue Rengui to come, instead he waited for Li Shimin to come first.

Li Shimin tossed and turned last night and didn't sleep much all night. When he thought of Datang's future handsome talent being cut off by Li Fu first, Li Shimin's heart felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.

"Prince, I heard that your East Palace has already prepared a guard office, and even recruited a chief guard?"

Li Shimin asked immediately after entering the door, which surprised Li Fu slightly.

【Hehe, how did Li Er know that I have the chief guard, oh, it should be Zhang Shigui who told him. 】

[But what does this have to do with Li Er, Xue Rengui is not famous now, so he probably won't interfere with me! 】

"Well, the internal guards have a lot of things to do now. Regarding the defense of the East Palace, I want to catch it myself. But my father thinks there is something wrong, so I will correct it." Li Fu's attitude was very low, and he also Test Li Shimin's intentions.

Li Shimin has already been rejected by Xue Rengui twice, so how could he make use of the problem, "I'm just asking, I have another matter, I want to hear your opinion."

"Zhang Shigui has already returned to Beijing yesterday, and the army of the Duke of Wei and the Duke of England will return to the court in a few days. Even if the matter of Tubo is over, I am wondering whether the matter of Goguryeo should be brought up. Schedule."

Li Shimin has always been brooding over Goguryeo. It is precisely because Li Fu mentioned in his heart that Xue Rengui can destroy Goguryeo, so Li Shimin spent so much money to promote him yesterday.

But now that Li Fu has cut him off, Li Shimin wants to hear from Li Fu about his views on the strategy of Goguryeo.

[Oh, Li Er has the same entanglement with Goguryeo as Yang Guang, and he is so anxious to win Goguryeo! 】

[To fight Goguryeo, if Li Jing and Li Ji are still sent to lead the left and right military guards, this battle should not be a big problem, but if Li Er, an old man, leads the army himself, it will be hard to say! 】

Treason!Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't hold back his face, but he had no choice but to endure it.

But since Li Shimin listened to Li Fu's voice last time, he had given up the idea of ​​Yu Jia's personal conquest. After all, war is war.

[But it's the end of September now, so it's not appropriate to send troops to Liaodong, we can only wait for the spring to bloom next year. 】

[Of course there is no need to wait, just wait for the cotton to mature and make cotton clothes, but can Li Shimin wait? 】

cotton?cotton coat?What are these things?When Li Shimin heard these things for the first time, he couldn't help being a little curious, but soon Li Fu's voice caught Li Shimin's heart instantly.

[Of course, to destroy Goguryeo, the most important thing is the Modao team. With Modao, it should not be too easy to take down Goguryeo! 】

Mo Dao?Li Shimin frowned slightly. This was an even more unfamiliar name. He could tell that it was a weapon, but he had never heard of it.

But Li Shimin knew in his heart that the weapons that Li Fu spoke of might play a key role in the conquest of Korea.

[There are many cavalry in Goguryeo, and the Tang Dynasty generally used infantry as the main force. There are not many examples of infantry winning battles against cavalry in history. knife! 】
