Seeing Xu Yunyan being so cautious, Shi Jin chuckled here.
"Master Protector is overthinking this time. I didn't arrange anyone this time. Some things that can be solved by arranging three or five people can be arranged directly by me, but how can I arrange this matter that requires mobilizing three to five hundred or thousands of soldiers?" Will you go? I must tell the Protector-General."
Seeing Shi Jin arrange this, Xu Yunyan looked at him here.
"How about we find some among the Turks? What do you think of this matter?"
Xu Yunyan said this, but Shi Jin was frightened.
"What? Recruiting soldiers from among the Turks?
no! This is absolutely impossible. The Turks are ambitious. Even if they are now attached to the Tang Dynasty, how can they willingly obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty without absolute strength to persuade them? Don't shoot yourself in the foot. "
Seeing Shi Jin's appearance, Xu Yunyan was about to say something, but Shi Jin started talking immediately.
"Have you forgotten that Emperor Han Jing once surrendered some Xiongnu tribes during the Han Dynasty, but how did they do it? It was just treachery. How could we get them to gather into an army?"
Xu Yunyan saw that what Shi Jin said here was very precise, and Xu Yunyan said something carefully.
"Deputy Protector, actually I don't plan to recruit many, I'm just looking for someone with one or two thousand people, and each legion will have three to five hundred.
Let the people in our legion influence them and let them know the benefits of becoming a Tang Army, how to get more benefits for their families, how to be respected, and what kind of treatment they will receive even if they die on the battlefield, so that they will love me. Tang Dynasty.
When something goes wrong in their tribe, they are also our informants and inform us of their situation as soon as possible. What do you think of this?
After all, I plan to take out a Han Jia Erlang and replace it with a Turkic soldier for each five-man team. Can't you see it after looking around? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Shi Jinda was not saying anything, but was thinking deeply.
"This matter is too big for me to decide, so I'd better submit a letter."
"Okay! Have you become a microphone?"
Xu Yunyan said such words for no reason, Shi Jin didn't get angry and looked at him with a smile.
"The general discovered it. I am really just a messenger."
He just said it casually, but Shi Jin was honest enough and told his true identity, just like a microphone.
"I just don't know, Mr. Shi, is this microphone for His Majesty or for some general?"
If you were to send a message to any general..."
Although Xu Yunyan didn't say it clearly, Shi Jin looked at him here: "Master Protector, are you kidding me? How could I pass a message on behalf of a certain general? It must be for His Majesty. Your Majesty is our only target of allegiance, shouldn't we? For whom else is Your Majesty sending the message?"
"In this case, please ask the Deputy Protector to report it to His Majesty as soon as possible for His Majesty to judge. I don't dare to make the decision at will on such a matter, I just have this idea."
"Okay, I will write to Your Majesty now."
Shi Jin revealed his identity, and Xu Yunyan couldn't help but think here. Although the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty trusted him quite a bit and allowed him to do whatever he wanted, the real appearance of a serious person would have a negative impact on him. When you have questions, there is still someone around you who can slow you down, right?
Just like this Deputy Protector, if one day I really want to change the court or stand on my own mountain, I might be able to find an imperial edict from Li Shimin from my arms, and in an instant, I will become the Protector of Anbei with seemingly infinite scenery. Became a prisoner. There is no problem if someone accidentally becomes a soul under the sword.
But fortunately, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Li Tang. Instead, I want Li Tang to embark on a different path. Let Li Shimin be worthy of the title of Khan of Heaven, instead of being called the Khan of Heaven after Li Shimin. The title of Khan has faded away.
In the Prince's East Palace in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian was very worried when he saw Hou Xiaomei jumping up and down in front of him.
"My little ancestor, can you stop dancing here? The baby in your belly is important!"
Hou Xiaomei may have eaten too delicious food recently, and sometimes she didn't want to eat. Seeing Hou Xiaomei who was getting thinner, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to treat her, and everyone was happy.
Hou Xiaomei had Li Chengqian's heir in her belly.
Hou Xiaomei was happily jumping around here and talking to Li Chengqian, while Li Chengqian looked at Hou Xiaomei who didn't take the child seriously in her belly and was frightened, saying good things and pleading, Finally, Hou Xiaomei became more honest.
"Such a good thing, shouldn't we hurry up and tell my dad?"
After Hou Xiaomei said this, Li Chengqian reacted.
"Yes! You should go and tell General Hou first. General Hou is the pillar of the country. Such good news must be shared with General Hou to make General Hou happy."
Li Chengqian heard that Hou Xiaomei was going to visit her father. Although he and Hou Xiaomei were able to see Hou Junji every now and then, he did not even tell his father about the return code. He went to tell his father-in-law first. This shows that Li Chengqian has a deep understanding of Hou Junji. How much does Hou Xiaomei like Chengdu?
In Hou Junji's mansion, Hou Junji read several letters sent by his confidants. From time to time, he would look at the map hanging behind him, and sometimes he would also gesture with something. , speaking here while gesticulating.
"Once the Turks are in peace, you little ones still want to cause trouble in the North? Although in name you are causing trouble for my Majesty, it is my junior brother who is actually being hurt. Do you think I will condone you?"
Hou Junji said this, destroyed the letter in his hand, went to the study next to him, and spoke directly.
"You are such a hateful family. I, Hou, used to come from a poor family. I once wanted to work as your concierge to seek a good future, but you didn't treat me as someone who would come and go at a moment's notice. Now, There is a majesty who can make all the suffering people in the world have a good background and a good place to go, but you still want to ruin this good era, and you and I will fight to the death!"
Hou Lian said this, turned around and left the study, went to the backyard, stood in front of a closed door in the backyard, then looked around, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it. The dust on one's own body.
In fact, there was no dust on his splendid clothes at all, but he did it very solemnly, cleaning himself all over, straightening his clothes, Chang breathed a few sighs of relief and slowly opened the door, afraid of being shadowed. The people inside are average.
Come and try it quickly. 】
After opening the door, there were tablets one after another in the room, from bottom to top, and from left to right.
The names one after another on the tablets made Hou Junji sigh as he looked at them.
"Brothers, I'm here to see you again."
Hou Junji said this, walked forward, picked up a few incense sticks next to the middle altar table, lit them, bowed respectfully three times, and then inserted them into an incense burner on the altar table.
Looking at them, Hou Junji couldn't help but think of the time when he traveled all over the world with them.
"Brothers, you are very comfortable lying here, but I guess I won't be able to come with you for a while. I still have some things to take care of for your descendants. Please bear with me. Wait for me to come. Now, let’s drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat together.”
Hou Junji said this, telling them about the situation where the aristocratic families were planning to bully Li Shimin and cause some trouble to make them more aloof, although they had already been suppressed and had a tendency to bow their heads.
"Presumably you, like Hou, come from poor families, and you don't want your descendants to be like this man's servants from generation to generation. Although we don't expect to be that man's superiors, we are oppressing people like us. The poor people, but in this world, there is no distinction between the master and us poor people, that’s what I think.”
Thinking of this, Hou Junji couldn't help but talk about his junior brother Xu Yunyan. The princes were enfeoffed overseas to expand their land and no longer form new aristocratic families. Those who were ennobled by military merit would also weaken their titles from generation to generation. In the end, everyone disappeared. If there is no true talent and true learning, such a title will not be retained. But with true talent and true learning, and dedicated to serving the public and the people, even a little preferential treatment should be justified, right?
Just as Hou Junji was describing the current situation here with them, the sleeping warriors and comrades who served the country and the people, a housekeeper suddenly shouted outside.
"Master, master!"
The housekeeper was also very knowledgeable and knew that Hou Junji could not be found in the mansion and would only be in this one place.
When Hou Junji heard the shouting, he couldn't help but look at the incense sticks in the incense burner, which were about to be scattered, and bowed respectfully to the many tablets in front of him again.
"Brothers, I apologize again. I am busy with something now. When I have some free time, I will come and have a drink with you brothers."
Hou Junji bowed respectfully and then exited the room. The housekeeper who looked at him was not angry.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? This is not like your usual style."
When the housekeeper saw Hou Junji, he said loudly, "General, it's a good thing! It's really a good thing, a great thing."
At this moment, Hou Junji was a little bit surprised that it was his duty as a housekeeper to call him master, but once he called himself a general, it was like having a father-in-law.
What happens to good things in official business?
Hou Junji looked at him calmly and asked, "Why are you still here so careless?"
"General, that's a good thing."
Hou Junji once again emphasized his dissatisfaction with the abnormal behavior of the housekeeper, but the housekeeper seemed not to know and was still here to whet Hou Junji's appetite.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, the butler pointed behind him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are here. They have good news to tell the general."
"oh."
At this time, Hou Junji walked forward quickly. As he walked, he turned around and asked the housekeeper who was following him, looking a bit gossipy.
"Do you know what the good news is?"
At this moment, Hou Junji made the housekeeper feel more at ease. Hou Junji, who had always been aloof and followed the laws and orders in everything, was like this, but he had not seen such a scene for a long time, and his eyes were a little bit random. Moist, said here.
"General, please don't get excited after I say it."
"Excited, why am I excited? You want to whet my appetite, please tell me."
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is pregnant!"
"ah?"
In an instant, Hou Junji jumped three feet high, laughing and running forward.
