Chapter 206: Chen Zhengtai pays respects
Li Shimin smiled: "Is that true?"
He stared at Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai said again: "There is another reason. The prince attaches great importance to the Cavalry Mansion of Erpigou. A few days ago, he came to Erpigou several times, all for this."
Li Chengqian was beside him and said in his heart that he had gone several times, but he was just going to discuss the betting with you, Chen Zhengtai. If this is considered to be concerned about Erpigou Cavalry Mansion...
Li Shimin seemed to know in his heart what Chen Zhengtai was thinking.
When the Cavalry Mansion was victorious, Chen Zhengtai and his honor, the Prince and his honor, and I and his honor.
It's better than the right guard's victory.
Li Shimin immediately said, "Everyone from the Cavalry Mansion needs to reward you very much. According to my opinion, I will take this Cavalry Mansion as an imperial guard. Su Lie, I will order you to lead the Erpigou guard."
Su Lie was shocked. He was just a small other general, belonging to a military palace and a deputy general of the militia.
But the word "weisu" belongs to the Eastern Palace and is the deputy general of the Imperial Guard.
In the Tang Dynasty, although there were many imperial guards, these imperial guards were all subordinate to the emperor. In order to ensure the safety of the prince's palace, the Eastern Palace established six guards, which belonged to the prince, which was also a kind of imperial guards, so there was the saying that the prince's six commanders was the saying.
These six guards protect the safety of the prince, and their military officers are all called Wei Shu.
In this way, the Cavalry Mansion became an imperial guard and its status was greatly boosted. Almost all the Cavalry Mansion were promoted to the title.
But Su Lie was still a little suspicious. The good Erpigou Cavalry protected Erpigou, so why did he become the guardian of the Eastern Palace again?
Chen Zhengtai stood aside, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so kind, Su Lie is so scared."
When he was joking, Su Lie woke up. He glanced at his elder brother and knew in his heart that his elder brother really wanted to get this result.
So hesitated without hesitation and said quickly: "Abide by the order."
Li Shimin was in a very good mood at this time and said with a smile: "From then on, the Eastern Palace will be the seventh leader, and the Cavalry Mansion will also become the prince's guard to protect the prince's safety. However... it is still stationed in Erpigou. Chen Zhengtai also worked hard this time and made great contributions to the Secretary of the Zhanshu Mansion. The rest of the people will be rewarded by the Ministry of Rites."
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai, and his expression became a little more solemn: "I've handed over the prince to you."
Chen Zhengtai sighed in his heart. His Majesty's arrangement was obviously very intentional.
In the eyes of the emperor, he was the emperor's person, so this young secretary was not only the prince's subordinate, but also represented the emperor's urging the prince.
In the Tang Dynasty, two teams were implemented, one was naturally the court, with three provinces and six ministries in the court. The other was in the East Palace.
Why did the princes of the Tang Dynasty always rebelled in all dynasties? This is not without reason, because... in the Eastern Palace, there was also an administrative and military team for the three provinces and six ministries of the court, and although the sparrow was small, it was all-in-one.
Among them are the Zhan Shi and the Shao Zhan Shi who will succeed in the future, which is equivalent to the Zhongshu Ling, which is the "Little Prime Minister". As the deputy of the Zhan Shi, the "Little Prime Minister", in addition to the Zhan Shi who is like the Zhongshu Ling, there are also the Zuochunfang corresponding to the Monks' Monks' Monks'. In this way, Kong Yingda was the right son, and in fact he managed the Youchunfang.
In addition to the three provinces, there are actually special censors in the East Palace who are responsible for impeaching all the officials in the East Palace. Under these "three provinces", they also effectively imitate the various institutions of the six departments of the court.
It can be said that the entire Zhanshi Mansion is like a small court.
Therefore, as long as the emperor and the prince are in conflict, the prince will do nothing and search the guys without saying a word. There is a reason. After all, if the ministers have ministers and soldiers have soldiers, I won’t beat you whom I will hit.
For example, there are six guards of the prince now, and now Emperor Taizong of Tang has increased to seven. In fact, in the later period, the prince guards of the Tang Dynasty will increase to ten.
To some extent, this approach was because the Sui and Tang Dynasties learned from the lessons of the previous dynasties. During the previous dynasties, dynasties changed quickly, and many generals of different surnames often rebelled. In order to prevent the other surnames from seizing power, they had to strengthen the power of the royal family, especially the prince.
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that His Majesty would have such an arrangement. This young master's room is a little prime minister. Although it sounds a bit unpleasant to say it, the young master is actually responsible for the Prince's Guard and other matters of the East Palace. Anyway, Chen Zhengtai can take care of anything about the East Palace. In such a position, the emperor is generally very vigilant.
Because on the one hand, as an official of the Eastern Palace, there is an administrative team in the Eastern Palace. If this person is only loyal to the prince, then there may be a big problem. At that time, the emperor and the prince will be in trouble. This little secretary encouraged the prince to rebel, which would be a huge matter.
On the other hand, one day the emperor and another day the minister, to a certain extent, the young ministers can transform from a small prime minister into a real prime minister. Such people still need to have enough ability to help the prince control the court when the prince ascends the throne in the future.
You must have the ability and gain enough trust, and even... you have to be younger. Otherwise, before the prince ascended the throne, you will be thrown into the street. What can you do?
After thinking about it, Li Shimin decided to let Chen Zhengtai come. He has a good relationship with the prince and is close. I also trust him. This guy is also very good at discovering talents. These talents can be used as reserve talents in the Eastern Palace and will assist the prince in the future in a hundred years.
But His Majesty's arrangement almost completely tied up Chen Zhengtai and Lee Seung-kien.
If Chen Zhengtai does something in the future and becomes unlucky, Li Chengqian will definitely be implicated. After all, Chen Zhengtai does something unethical. Can you, Li Chengqian, have nothing to do with you? In the past ten, you are the commander behind the scenes.
But if the prince did something, Chen Zhengtai would be over, because... dare you say that you, the young secretary, did not instigate him behind his back?
This young secretary has both pros and cons, but in the eyes of others, the meaning is different.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were quite shocked. They obviously knew that this appointment was very important. His Majesty was thinking about what he would do a hundred years later.
After making this arrangement.
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "Students thank their teachers for their kindness, but... the students are afraid that they are not capable enough..."
Li Shimin glared at him: "You don't have to be humble. How can my disciples say that they are not capable enough?"
"The students have no intention of refusing." Chen Zhengtai said: "It's just that I hope my mentor can help students, such as Ma Zhou..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but find it funny and thought this guy wanted to refuse. It turned out that he was not polite at all. He wanted to be capable of him.
Li Shimin was not stingy, so he said, "Since that's the case, let him temporarily take over the concubine's son of Youchunfang, and let him assist you well."
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that Li Shimin agreed suddenly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly thought that he had been promoted again, and he was also very excited.
I'm a big shot. In ancient times, Gan Luo was the prime minister at the age of twelve, and now I, Chen Zhengtai, was the young prime minister at the age of 15. Although I am a little older, it is not shabby.
Chen Zhengtai thanked him happily.
Li Shimin then waved his hand and said boldly: "The rest of the top horse teams should also be rewarded."
Then he said, "I am tired, so I will give up today."
Although Li Shimin's sudden idea was Li Shimin's sudden thought, it was actually a result of careful consideration after experiencing this Marseille.
In Li Shimin's opinion, his brother King Zhao still has the ability. He is both the governor of Yongzhou and the Right Guard. If Erpigou Cavalry suppressed the Right Guard, he would have gained much reputation!
When I was there, of course I could suppress King Zhao and other relatives.
But what if one day I am gone?
The prince is too young and not enough to convince the public.
As an emperor, we must consider the long-term.
The Tang Dynasty could no longer have the tragedy of the royal family fighting each other. Since we could not deal with King Zhao, let the prince win the people's expectations and strengthen the strength of some princes.
Li Shimin said the truth, ignoring the other ministers who were in pain because of losing money due to gambling, he directly sent a trip back to the palace, and then ordered someone to call Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian to Ziwei Palace.
Here, there are no other messy people who finally haven't spoken well.
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai and said directly: "How many bets did you bet Erpigou this time?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed on Chen Zhengtai's face at first, and then he said ashamed: "Not much, the student only bets 15,000 guan. His Highness the Crown Prince was timid. When the student advised him to bet more, he felt that it was unstable and only bets 2,000 guan."
Li Shimin's body trembled, and his eyes were bright and he looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "I heard that the odds are as high as seventy to eighty to one hundred, so what..."
Li Chengqian was happily and silly, looking like he had a trick.
Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Mr. Gambling is harmful and not worthy of promotion. This time it was just a lucky winner for the students. In fact, the students advised His Majesty on Marseille not for this gambling play. The fundamental reason is that the students hope to use this Marseille to promote horseshoes. Only by promoting this horseshoe can they benefit the country and the people. Students have no selfish intentions."
"Horse-shoe?" Li Shimin looked surprised. This thing was a new thing for him.
Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Shimin's expression and said, "If not, why could Erpigou Cavalry run so fast? And there was almost no loss of horses along the way."
Li Shimin was shocked for a moment, and he woke up only then.
Yes, I am also a person who knows the nature of horses. Logically speaking, it doesn’t make sense to go back and forth with two incense sticks of work and not counting a large number of war horses. This is not just Su Lie’s ability.
