Cheng Wuting also said: "Your Majesty, military training strategies have been secrets of military strategists since ancient times. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Beifu Army founded by Xie Xuan, the elite infantry Wei Wuzu trained by Wu Qi, the Youzhou Tuqi of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's Bai'er Army, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Army, etc., etc., are said to be amazing soldiers created according to military training strategies.

The late emperor did have the Xuanjia Army, but my father once drank with the late emperor. When the late emperor talked about the Xuanjia Army, he only said that the Xuanjia Army relied on the strength of the armor and equipment. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was not as good as formal military training. An army trained by Cece. "

Su Qingjie continued: "Your Majesty should remember Li Jing and Li Weigong, right? We have so many tiger and wolf generals in the Tang Dynasty? But no one dares to compare with Li Weigong. Even Li Sikong often said that he can share the same name with Li Weigong, and he is a subordinate. Flattery, he thinks he is inferior.”

Li Zhi nodded: "I still know Li Wei Gong. The late emperor also said that although he fought on the battlefield and built a country through hundreds of battles, he was far inferior to Li Jing in terms of military commanders. Speaking of this, I remember that Duke Zhuang of the Xing Kingdom once studied under Li Jing. Why, could it be that Li Jing also said something about military training strategies?" (Su Dingfang's posthumous title is Zhuang)

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, Li Weigong once said at the beginning that the art of war and the strategy of training troops are indispensable. Either of them can achieve the effect of defeating more with less. If the two are combined..."

Su Qingjie didn't say anything, but Li Zhi also knew that he couldn't tell such a scene. Because even he, an emperor who had never been in battle, knew that this was by no means a matter of one plus one equaling two.

Cheng Wuting also fantasized about it, but still gave up the fantasy because it was too difficult to imagine.

Seeing that both Saint and Su Qingjie had given up their illusions, he wondered: "The general is very curious, where did His Highness King Yong get such a strategy for training troops?"

Just one sentence made Li Zhi frown.

Yes, where did Li Xian get the strategy for training soldiers?

To be honest, without the scene where Li Yun took it upon himself to send Tu Mian Sheng away, Li Zhi would only think that Li Xian was being mysterious. But since he initially wanted ordinary blacksmiths to forge tools and had no intention of keeping it secret, it was obvious that he did not understand the importance of this military training strategy.

That being the case....

Looking back at the tablets on the altar table, Li Zhi hesitated for a moment before saying to Jiang Hao who was waiting at the door: "Take these drawings and go to Yan Jize, the supervisor, and order him to work hard tonight to produce at least three items on the drawings. Send the utensils to Prince Yong’s Mansion.”

When Jiang Hao went down with the blueprints to deliver the order, Li Zhi said to Li Yun: "Go back, don't talk about the fact that you gave the blueprints to me. Since you are now the manager of the palace, you can't expose the two masters. .Xian'er may not appreciate your kindness in showing me the drawings."

Li Yun thought about the consequences after the incident was revealed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Go back. I have other arrangements at Prince Yong's Mansion. Unless there is something important, you don't have to come to see me in person. In addition, I will secretly go to Prince Yong's Mansion tomorrow. Be careful not to leak the news."

"Slave, I obey."

After receiving the order, Li Yun took out a cloak to cover himself, turned around and left.

Looking at Cheng Wuting and Su Qingjie with flattering expressions on their faces, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Tomorrow you two will come to the palace before Chen time. I will take you two to Prince Yong's Mansion together. Please step back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving permission, Cheng Wuting and Su Qingjie smiled happily, turned around and left the Jinluan Palace, covered with stars.

They rode horses when they came, but not when they left. The two of them led the horses to the outside of the palace. Along the way, they were silent.

It wasn't until he left the palace and walked onto Danfeng Street that there was no one on either side that Su Qingjie spoke: "Mr. Pingyuan, you and I live outside the city and have never heard about Chang'an. I didn't expect to know that King Yong has arrived in Chang'an today. Tell me, is the next prince determined to be King Yong?"

Cheng Wuting looked around, then changed his position, held the horse with his left hand, came closer and whispered: "Logically speaking, we generals should not care about these things, but the future emperor's mentality is very important to our military, so I have to worry about it.

In the later period of the late emperor, the emperor emphasized civility and neglected military affairs. After the current saint succeeded to the throne for a period of time, he balanced the status of civil and military affairs and favored the military generals in terms of nobility. If the next emperor emphasizes civility over military affairs, I am very worried that it will affect the combat power of the Tang Dynasty. Look around the Tang Dynasty. Although some foxes and other things have been cleared away, the ones left are either turtles or tigers.

Although we are not afraid of these tigers and leopards, we still need to be careful.

As for King Yong, I think he will probably succeed the crown prince. When Your Majesty divided the kings among the kings, only King Yong was closest to Chang'an. It is hard to say that His Majesty did not take it into consideration. In fact, I am happy to see King Yong become the crown prince. Do you remember what His Majesty said? King Yong is currently practicing martial arts in the palace. "

Su Qingjie laughed softly and said: "Yes, I was also shocked by this sentence. At first, King Yong was taught by a group of great scholars and never showed interest in martial arts. Who would have thought that he would like it now. This is good, Hongwen Poetry Although it cultivates sentiment, it has nothing to do with the battlefield. As long as King Yong can know the hard work of the military, he will have a little respect for us in the future no matter what."

"Yes, so, do you think we should find two powerful generals and send them to Prince Yong's Mansion to teach them?"

"Come on, don't get involved with this man if you're looking for death. It's okay if King Yong wants to practice martial arts on his own initiative, but if you send someone to seduce him, it will be self-defeating. Do you think the guys on the civil servant side are easy to mess with? In the past two years, The civil-military war has calmed down a bit, so please don’t stir it up again..."

The two of them walked towards Changlefang as they talked. With their status, they were naturally qualified to live in Changlefang. Although it is stipulated that the square gate must not be opened after it is closed, this rule naturally does not apply to some high-ranking courtiers or generals with great military exploits. After all, they would enter the palace at night from time to time.

After entering Changlefang, the two of them walked to the door of Prince Yong's Mansion at the same time, pretending to pass by, but in fact they took a long detour.

Naturally, if you just pass by the gate of the mansion, you won't see anything.

Not to mention, even Li Xian's screams were hidden in the spacious palace.

The devastation I suffered today far exceeded the previous two days.

So today, in addition to applying medicine, Li Xian also accepted Li Yun's so-called "relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation".

In fact, it is massage, but whose massage can always cause pain like a broken bone?

In today's bedroom, there are not only the master and the servant, but also a Fang family.

Unlike Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Fang just sat aside, biting her handkerchief, watching the scene with tears, but said nothing.

"Hey, Your Highness, you can kick me now. However, I suggest you decide tomorrow whether to kick me or not. I am not boasting. When I was in the palace, I also trained the eunuchs around you to relax their muscles. The slave is the one who rejuvenates the blood. No matter how painful or tired you are, you will definitely be full of energy when you wake up the next day."

After giving Li Yun a blank look, Li Xian was too lazy to speak now.
