The Tang Dynasty was only thirty years old. The soldiers in the world were good at fighting, and the Beimen Tunying Army. The Beiya Imperial Army was originally the most elite soldier in the world in the Li Shimin Dynasty. After Li Ke ascended the throne, he was transferred to the Modao Camp bought by Xi Jun and entered the Beiya. This made the Beiya Imperial Army even more powerful.

The power of the Northern Yai has grown stronger, and only the emperor's orders are followed. This is what Li Shimin has always been doing, because Li Shimin is very clear about the importance of the imperial guards of the Northern Yai.

This is true for Li Shimin and Li Ke. Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor. He still has a lot of things to do. The things he does will inevitably suppress the interests of others. In order to avoid the Xuanwu Gate change again, Li Ke wants to do what Li Shimin wants to do to the extreme.

Li Shimin was an emperor from the army and had a high prestige in the army, so he was able to peacefully break the chaos of the unclear division between the southern and northern yamen during the reign of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, making the northern yamen independent of the court and the prime minister, and only belong to the emperor's command, becoming a sword that was only held in the hands of the emperor.

Li Ke was also an emperor at the age of time. He was in charge of the army and was highly prestigious among the imperial guards. He had many of his own confidant generals in the army. Therefore, Li Ke was able to bypass the prime minister and the court, re-dividing the Northern Ya system, and holding the sword left to him tighter and more sharply.

What Li Ke did should have been something that Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi dared to do and was able to do thirteen years after he ascended the throne. However, because of Li Ke's prestige in the army and his extremely high control over the court, Li Ke could do it now only a month after he officially ascended the throne, and it was smooth.

After discussing with several generals, Li Ke issued an order to use Qin Shubao as the general of the Left Yulin Guard, with a leader of 10,000 troops, stationed in the west of the imperial city, and guard Xuanwu Gate; Cheng Zhijie as the general of the Right Yulin Guard, with a leader of 10,000 troops, stationed in the east of the imperial city, and guard Anli Gate; Li Junxian as the general of the Left Longwu Guard, with a leader of 8,000 troops, stationed in Anren Gate and Shenlong Gate.

As for Xi Junmai, he was the general of the Right Dragon Martial Guard. Gao Kan, the general of the Right Dragon Martial Guard under his jurisdiction, led 6,000 troops to guard Ganlu Gate. Xi Junmai himself was on guard Ganlu Hall and served by the emperor.

The four guards in the North Ya are all elite. At first glance, the four guards seem to have the fewest Right Dragon Martial Guards bought by Xi Jun, but his six thousand horses included the troops of Yuanmo Dao Camp and the hundreds of cavalry. They are the elite among the elites and the most brave soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke issued an order to rectify the establishment of the imperial guards in the Northern Ya. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it immediately caused a thousand waves, causing an uproar in the court. However, the military officials of the third rank and above in the court, whether they were the Sixteen Guards in the capital or the governor of the border state who held heavy troops, were all from Li Ke. There was no resistance to Li Ke's reorganization of the Northern Ya.

But at the same time, another seemingly ordinary imperial edict slowly caused disputes in the palace, causing Queen Wu Meiniang to become more and more uneasy.

Li Ke issued an order to register Li Kun, who was only five years old, as the King of Zhou, and was the governor of Luozhou. His only daughter, Li Lan, was the Princess of Guangling. He had a fief of 3,000 households and was actually granted 350 households.

Li Kun is Li Ke's third son and is at the age of being able to be awarded title. It is not strange that Li Ke has granted the title of king to Li Kun, but it is the blame that Li Ke gave him the title of Luoyang in the eastern capital, which is enough to make Wu Meiniang uneasy.

"Your Majesty first refused to allow me to interfere in the government affairs, and then he enthroned Concubine Xiao's son in Luoyang, and even appointed Concubine Xiao's daughter in Yangzhou, where she was in Longxing. This was a precaution against me." Wu Meiniang had already gotten angry at the Lizheng Hall when she learned that the son of Concubine Xiao was named king.

Wu Meiniang was angry, and all the palace maids in the palace were driven out, leaving only Wu Meiniang's confidant Jin'er by her side. She has been in a good mood since Wu Meiniang became the queen. This is the first time she has lost her temper seriously.

Seeing Wu Meiniang getting angry, Jin'er hurriedly comforted her: "Xiao Niang calms down, she is just a king of Zhou. How can she become a climate? It is far from the noble of the young man and the crown prince."

What Jin'er said is naturally the truth. No matter how noble the King of Zhou is, he is still just a prince, and is far from the prince. Even if he can't say that he is too arrogant, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not good at playing.

If it were in the past, Jin'er's words were justified, but at this time, Wu Meiniang was really unable to feel at ease. After all, Li Ke, who was sitting on the throne now, was just a king of Shu back then, and was even worse than Li Kun now, but did not Li Ke ascend the throne yet?

Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty is more than Li Kun, and Xiao Yuexian and Li Lan are even more so. A princess with a fief of 3,000 households and a total of 350 households. Your Majesty is so big that he is not afraid of asking the courtiers to speak."

The Tang Dynasty had a system of fiefs for princesses. In the first place, the fiefs of princesses were mostly 2,000 to 3,000 households, but these were just false seals. The actual seals of princesses of the Tang Dynasty were mostly 10% of the virtual seal, that is, 200 to 300 households, and in most cases, the actual seals of these 200 to 300 households were only obtained after the princess got married.

Since the Zhenguan year, there are only a handful of princesses who have received real titles before getting married. In addition to Empress Changsun and Empress Yang's daughters, only Princess Guangling. From this incident, we can see that Li Ke loved this only daughter.

Jin'er said: "Princess Guangling is Your Majesty's only daughter, so she is especially favored. If you wait for your mother to give birth to a legitimate daughter for Your Majesty in the future, you will definitely be more favored than Princess Guangling."

Wu Meiniang waved her hand and said, "No matter how much your Majesty loves Princess Guangling, she is just a girl and cannot affect the overall situation. However, Xiao Yuexian is very thoughtful, but she must be guarded."

Jin'er said: "Since Your Majesty does not want my mother to contact the government again, then my mother should not disobey His Majesty's wishes. But although my mother cannot easily interfere in the government affairs, she can borrow the hands of others. Why don't I tell my two uncles to come to the palace to discuss matters, or help the court?"

Since ancient times, the most common way for the empress to interfere in the court in the palace was to use her father and brother to intervene in the court with relatives. This was particularly obvious in the Han Dynasty, and even the weight of relatives in the foreign country exceeded the emperor.

It is not uncommon to use foreign relatives to interfere in politics. Changsun Wuji, who is closer, is also an example. However, Wu Meiniang is very familiar with her two brothers. With their ability, it would be good that they would not cause trouble for Wu Meiniang outside the palace.

However, although Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are very useful, it is a way to use others to participate in the government affairs.

Wu Meiniang frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a way, a better and more effective way than a foreign relative's interference in politics, and this method is legitimate and no one can blame him.

Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke and asked Jin'er: "The prince will be ten years old after the New Year. In order to imitate his father and temper the prince, I would like to suggest that the prince open a palace and build a yamen as soon as possible?"
