The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 25 Formation of the Royal Guards
Seeing Li Tai's expression of distressing Yinzi, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.Then he said to Li Tai: "Since Qingque's words have reached this point. If Grandpa Huang refuses to agree, it will be unreasonable. So Grandpa Huang decided to let you recruit a private army of 5000 people. Grandpa Huang bestowed upon him the name of King Wei's Forbidden Army."

Although Li Yuan did not agree, let Li Tai be the general of Zuo Yulin Army.But let Li Tai himself, recruit five thousand imperial guards.It can be regarded as a disguised form, allowing Li Tai to have his own power.After all, it's really not good for Zuo Yulin Jun to look after Li Tai's home.

In this way, neither Li Shimin nor Changsun Wugou could stop Li Tai.This made Li Tai extremely happy, he could finally have one, his own strength.Although it is not the official establishment of Datang, going there should not be underestimated.

"Grandfather, can Qing Que choose soldiers from the sixteen guards? After all, Qing Que is still a child and doesn't know how to train soldiers at all. If I were to recruit another army, I don't know when I will be able to have combat effectiveness." Li Tai bit his finger and thought for a while before saying.

"There is no problem with this. Let your father take you tomorrow to select soldiers from the Sixteen Guards. Weapons and equipment will be distributed by Tiance Mansion. The distribution standard will be based on the standard of the Sixteen Guards." Li Yuan readily agreed.

This made Li Tai so happy, he threw himself on Li Yuan, and kissed Li Yuan hard on the face.Then he said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang. After Grandpa Huang becomes the Supreme Emperor, Qing Que will be fine, so I will get you some good things. It will definitely make Grandpa Huang's life more enjoyable than being an emperor."

"Qing Que is a manly man, so you must keep your word. Don't forget Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang is waiting for your good things." Li Yuan said to Li Tai with a smile.

The grandparent and grandson chatted happily for a while, and then Li Shimin ordered someone to prepare a dinner.When cooking, the monosodium glutamate produced by Li Tai is naturally indispensable.This made Li Yuan very happy. After drinking and eating, Li Yuan drove back to the palace.

Li Yuan left happily, and Li Tai went back excitedly to get ready.But Li Shimin said helplessly to his grandson Wugou: "Father really gave me a problem this time. In this way, Qingque will have his own power. And he will only obey his private army. This is already It is enough to pose a threat to Chengqian."

"Father, this is taking revenge. You made him endure the pain of fratricide. He did this to let you have a taste of that. But I think Li Tai and you are somewhat different." Similar. It should be more suitable to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin.

Now that Li Shimin has not succeeded to the throne, the elder grandson Wugou would say such a thing.Once Li Shimin became the emperor, Changsun Wugou was saying such things.That is the harem meddling in politics.So the same sentence is spoken at different times.The result is definitely different.

"At that time, I was more suitable to be the prince than the elder brother, but the father still made the elder brother the prince. So no matter whether Qingque is more suitable to be the prince than Chengqian. I will also accept Qian as the prince. After all, the elder is not the young. It has been a rule since ancient times. As for whether Cheng Qian can secure the position of prince, it depends on whether he has the ability." After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou.

The eldest grandson Wugou naturally understood what Li Shimin meant.That is, Li Shimin has acquiesced, and Li Tai and Li Chengqian compete for the right to inherit the Tang Dynasty.As for the method used, Li Shimin will also turn a blind eye to it.After all, a suitable person sitting in a suitable position will definitely play a crucial role in the future development of Datang.

After Li Tai returned to his small courtyard, he immediately ordered someone to send news to Luo Tong and the others.Let them come to Tiance Mansion to meet him tomorrow morning.When the time comes, go pick soldiers with yourself.And Li Tai is going to let them take important positions in his army.

Early the next morning, Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing, Cheng Tieniu, and Xu Liang arrived at Tiance Mansion early.When he heard Li Tai say that he could form the Royal Guards, he was also very happy.

While everyone was waiting with anticipation, Li Shimin finally ended the court meeting and returned to Tiance Mansion.When he saw Luo Tong and others surrounded Li Tai.In my heart, I was even more worried about Li Chengqian.

However, judging from Li Tai's current performance, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than money.If this is really the case, Li Tai will definitely become a great help to Li Chengqian in the future.Of course, this is just Li Shimin's wishful thinking.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning? Are you going to make trouble again?" Li Shimin said to Luo Tong and the others.

"His Royal Highness, we are Li Tai's sworn brothers. Naturally, we must follow Li Tai's lead. Today Li Tai is going to the Sixteenth Guards to select the Imperial Guards. How can we brothers ignore it. So we are not here to make trouble. They are planning to join Li Tai's Royal Guards." Luo Tong saluted Li Shimin.

Although in name, Luo Tong is Li Shimin's adopted son, but Luo Tong still knows how to measure.Li Shimin was never called foster father.He has always put himself in the position of a courtier.This is what Luo Cheng's wife Dou Xianniang has always taught.Let Luo Tong never forget the difference between monarch and minister.

Li Shimin was also helpless, and could only sigh and shook his head.Then he took Li Tai and the others to the Sixteenth Guards camp.There are not many Sixteen Guards living in Chang'an City.Because their main sources of troops are scattered within the state capitals of Datang.Therefore, the garrison personnel of each guard in the capital does not exceed 5000.

Although there are not many people in the sixteen guards, it is not a problem for Li Tai to choose 5000 people.When Li Shimin brought Li Tai and the others to the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya.The generals of the sixteen guards were all waiting there, which made Qin Huaiyu and others feel a little guilty.After all, blatantly picking people under the old man, they still feel a little scared in their hearts.

But Li Tai didn't have this worry, and saluted the Sixteenth General with a smile on his face.Then he began to choose unceremoniously.Moreover, Li Tai deliberately searched for it in You Xiaowei.At last he found what he was looking for.

That is the famous Gao Kan in the future.The current Gao Kan has not yet become a general of the right Xiaowei Zhonglang.He was just an ordinary right guard soldier, so when Li Tai chose him, no one felt strange.

Finally, it took half a day for Li Tai to select [-] soldiers.But although Li Tai had [-] Imperial Guards, he did not have his own barracks.In the end, Li Tai had no choice but to borrow a camp from his father.As the temporary residence and training place of the Royal Guards.
