Chapter 82: Do what you like

One day, Li Longji came to the court.

He stayed in Wude Hall with weak energy.

In the past, Li Longji was usually a beautiful woman, and the musicians in the Pear Garden sang and danced happily to congratulate the poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

But now Li Longji is alone, looking a little bit tucked.

When the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving around were careful when they saw this situation.

They all knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a little moody recently. At this time, he would never have any good results.

Only Gao Lishi can accompany him...

But even Gao Lishi didn't dare to speak casually, just accompanied him quietly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

At this time, an eunuch outside the hall waved to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi walked out calmly, and it turned out that it was Pei Min's private message.

Pei Min is a few people who Li Longji has the least permission to reach the sky with letters. Gao Lishi dared not be negligent at all.

"Your Majesty! This is a letter sent by Duke Pei..."

Li Longji returned to his senses. When he heard the three words "Pei Guogong", his empty eyes showed some spirit. He reached out to take the secret letter, tore open the ink, and glanced at the four pages, with a somewhat surprised expression.

I read the beginning carefully and now I write some trivial matters.

First, I would like to introduce my condition and thank him for traveling thousands of miles to arrange for the imperial doctors in Beijing to go to Hexi to treat his injuries. He whispered and wrote a big push in a long and long way.

Then I introduced the situation here in Hexi. In short, everything is very detailed, and I wrote it on all the big and small things.

Not only did Li Longji not feel long-winded, but he read it with relish.

It is not unreasonable that Pei Min was deeply favored by Li Longji.

Officialdom knowledge, please consider your preferences.

Pei Min didn't know much about Emperor Li Longji, but he still knew very well about his hobbies.

Li Longji is very delicate in terms of feelings. He regards a person as his own person and hopes that the other person will also regard himself as his own person.

Just like a group of musicians in the Pear Garden, in the Pear Garden, Li Longji was very disgusted with calling him "Your Majesty". He often did not say anything about his words, but instead valued those who dared to call him "Ya Gong".

Ya Gong, the male madam is the one who doesn’t sound nice.

But Li Longji loves this title in Liyuan...

It is precisely because he likes music that he really hopes that the music actors will not regard him as an emperor in the acre of land in the Liyuan, but an art madman who likes music.

If Pei Min was respectful in the letter, Li Longji would feel divorced.

This is also a way to vote for what they want.

Li Longji looked at it one by one. Seeing that at the end, Pei Min said embarrassedly at the end, applying for the replenishment of the army, he suddenly burst into laughter and laughed very happily.

Gao Lishi looked surprised. Since Concubine Wu was instigated to the cold palace, his master has not shown such a smile.

After throwing the letter to the table, Li Longji stretched his waist and said to Gao Lishi: "Jingyuan has been talking nonsense and talking so much, and the most valuable thing is the last few sentences. To sum up, Hexi is the lack of military resources, so let me make up for it! Just say so much about this, is it funny if you say it?"

Gao Lishi was very good at speaking, and at this time said, "I think the Duke is probably thinking of His Majesty. The incident happened suddenly when he went to Hexi. He originally wanted to meet Governor Xue for the last time, but he didn't want to have a series of things, so he couldn't beat anyone even if he greeted him. Now the Duke is working for His Majesty in Hexi, and the situation in Hexi is complicated. Even a powerful person like him is inevitably injured. I don't know when he sees him again."

"Yes!" Li Longji sighed and said, "I miss him a little too... Jingyuan left this time too hasty. He first went to Taozhou, then played against Tubo for the Jiuqu land of Hexi, and then Longyou fought against natural disasters, and he had never had a good rest. He originally wanted to take advantage of the various countries to congratulate the peace of the world, so that he could rest and enjoy it in Chang'an and enjoy it. By the way, he promoted the beautiful things between him and Yu Zhen, so that a girl's house would either face the statue or study dangerous black gunpowder...but she did not expect the northwest incident to come so quickly."

"After reading Jingyuan's letter, I realized how unbearable the situation in Hexi is! Seven governors, Liangzhou governors talked about war on paper, and the border was so tired that they lost, and more than 10,000 soldiers died. The governor of Guazhou was simply raised by the bandits. He was the thief's younger brother, the governor of Xizhou was morally and incompetent, the governor of Yizhou surpassed power, the governor of Shazhou was corrupt, and there was also a mediocre governor. Only the governor of Suzhou could make great use... It was because I was inappropriate in employing people."

Gao Lishi immediately defended Li Longji and said, "Hexi is thousands of miles away, and Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an. How can you know so clearly? How can you say it is your fault?"

Li Longji was quite narcissistic and agreed with this statement, saying: "It is true that the words are said so, but keeping them will eventually be a disaster. Fortunately, Jingyuan realized it early and cut off the mess and wiped out the Hexi chaos. I really didn't expect that someone would come here and have a little knowledge of this. As long as it is not too much, I will not care about these things. The water is clear and there is no fish. How can I not understand this principle?"

"But this Shazhou governor is really hateful. The Yumen Army, which has an 8,000 soldiers, has only more than 5,200 people. He ate nearly 3,000 military pay per person. It is really hateful that he has greed so much. It is really cheap to die after breaking into the camp gate..."

After a pause, Li Longji asked, "How many reserve troops are there in the imperial court?"

Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be much, more than ten thousand."

Li Longji was a little headache when he was about to start. Of course, he remembered that Zhang Shougui also applied for a supplementary source of troops not long ago, but the military system of the government has now completely collapsed, and the military recruitment system also needs to consider the country's livelihood and cannot be recruited excessively, resulting in the loss of local population and no strong men farming.

In recent years, the imperial court has launched recruitment of soldiers everywhere, and the original soldiers on the border have been replaced by soldiers from the Long March, and the border defense strength has increased significantly.

But any clever system has a bottom line, which is excessive and inappropriate.

Based on the current situation, it is difficult for the court to start a new theory to recruit, and it will take a period of renovation and recovery.

The remaining ten thousand people were the last little source of troops in the hands of the imperial court.

Li Longji said, "Just give it to Jingyuan. After all, the Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong is a small-scale fight. If it is really not possible, just transfer an army from Youzhou to assist. Jingyuan is really not easy. His opponent is not a country like Bohai Kingdom, which has only tens of thousands of troops. Whether it is Tuqishi, Fuji Kingdom is a big country that can produce more than 100,000 troops. As for the big country, it is even more than 300,000, which cannot be ignored."

Li Longji made a decision without thinking about it.
