Suddenly, he heard Li Yuan burst into laughter again, and said happily: "The Women's Army is really an iron army, and its military power is so strict."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya from afar and said with deep meaning: "I have seen Xiuning in charge of the army before. At that time, there was no such uniform momentum. I didn't expect that in just a few years, the Detachment of Women would be completely transformed. Iron Army,

This is the real iron army."

Gu Tianya once again raised his hand and said respectfully: "I will replace the 20,000 soldiers and thank you for your majesty's praise and praise."

"Hahaha, you little guy is actually becoming polite to me."

"Replying to your Majesty, this is not polite. I am sincerely speaking. I am thanking you on behalf of the 20,000 soldiers."

"Really? Then why didn't the soldiers say thanks?"

"I am the general and he is the pawn. When the ship sails on the sea, everyone works together to ride the wind and waves, but the person who holds the direction can always be the helmsman of the ship."

"These words sound fresh, but they are a bit confusing. You brats, please don't use your words. I don't like children who talk nonsense. Tell me, what do you mean?"

…

In fact, as the founding emperor of the country, how could Li Yuan not understand what Gu Tianya said, but Li Yuan seemed to be deliberately confused and insisted on forcing Gu Tianya to explain it in detail.

The officials were all smart people and had already seen through the emperor's thoughts. They clearly wanted to use this occasion to show how outstanding his son-in-law was.

Only Wang Si and Cui Gong secretly looked at each other, and the two old guys accurately guessed Li Yuan's deeper thoughts.

The emperor was using his words to pave the way for Gu Tianya. The real goals of the two sons-in-law and husband-in-law were surrounding Huweijun from beginning to end.

As expected, Gu Tianya handed over his hand again and said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, what the last general said just now is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is the way of enforcing orders and prohibitions. If the army wants to ensure its combat effectiveness, it must have one voice."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "Your Majesty just praised you. Soldiers should not be grateful in private. Only the last general can speak on his behalf. This is the correct way to run an army."

"Hahaha, okay!"

Li Yuan seemed extremely pleased, nodding his head and praising: "You are indeed my husband-in-law, and your ability to manage the army is almost comparable to that of Erlang. Tsk, tsk, tsk, only one voice is allowed in the army. This statement is refreshing.

This is my first time hearing about it.”

Wang Si and Cui Gong looked at each other, both of them were obviously dumbfounded. They felt that Li Yuan's acting was too fake, and they even gave up their face in order to cooperate with their son-in-law.

You must know that Li Yuan was the founding emperor. During the Sui Dynasty, he was already a high-ranking official in the border areas. Not only did he have a large number of troops, but he also ran the army very strictly. How could he not understand the way of the army? He was actually the leader of the army.

old expert.

…

But seeing Li Yuan acting for a long time, he finally revealed his true intention. The emperor looked at Gu Tianya from a distance and said: "The military discipline of your iron army is so strict that it is not even willing to obey my orders. If they are stationed in the capital, I'm afraid they will

No general can direct...how to resolve this matter."

Gu Tianya finally revealed his true intentions and bowed before him: "I will report back to Your Majesty so that I can share my worries with you."

"Hahaha, okay."

Li Yuan laughed in time and said with great comfort: "The third son's husband is willing to share my worries, and he is truly worthy of being my husband. Then, I will give you a title..."

"Your Majesty, no!"

Finally, everyone in the family could no longer hold back and jumped out together to stop him: "Your Majesty has already obtained 20,000 border troops, and he must not leave Gu Tianya in Chang'an City. I hope your Majesty can keep the promise made in Miyun County, Hebei Province."

man of."

Li Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he became furious and said sternly: "But you all saw it just now. The Huwei Army only obeyed Gu Tianya's orders. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Do I need you to keep a general?"

Agree?"

The family officials all shook their heads and said harshly: "Anyone can do it, except Gu Tianya. If he stays, it will be equivalent to overturning the original agreement. Once he takes power in the court and causes trouble, the 200,000 Detachment of Women in Hebei will

It has become a sharp blade, Your Majesty, please do not let us feel that a catastrophe is imminent."

It was the early Tang Dynasty, and the combined power of the aristocratic families was so huge that even if they refuted the emperor on the spot, the emperor could not do anything to these people.

Kill them all?

Definitely not.

Not to mention killing all the aristocratic families and leaving no one to help govern the place. In fact, even if they want to kill, there is no way to kill them. The aristocratic families also have soldiers in their hands, and the combined strength cannot be underestimated. If there is a fight, even if the royal family wins, it will be miserable.

win.

When the time comes, the country's power will decline indefinitely, and surrounding forces will definitely come to destroy the country.

For example, the Turks, Tubo, and even the Eastern and Western Liao regions would all come to bite the fat Tang Dynasty.

…

Li Yuan seemed to be filled with rage, but was unable to act due to the pressure of the aristocratic families uniting. He suddenly slapped the city wall hard and said in a deep voice: "What if I make a decision by force? What can you do if I insist on keeping Gu Tianya?"

This time, the family officials stopped talking.

However, hundreds of people took off their official uniforms together.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, we will take off our official uniforms."

Li Yuan snorted coldly, as if insisting on refusing to admit defeat, and said: "There is no shortage of officials in Chang'an."

Everyone in the aristocratic family sneered and said again: "Have all the officials in the world taken off their official clothes?"

Li Yuan seemed to have finally been defeated and sighed: "In that case, I will accept your advice. I don't want to hurt the hearts of my dear friends with your loyal words."

"but……"

The emperor suddenly changed his tone, and then said: "But it is my son-in-law's first visit to Chang'an. I can't let him go to Chang'an in vain."

Wang Si stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands and said: "If Gu Tianya is willing to have some fun in Chang'an, we can send his heirs to guide him and ensure that he will gain a lot, but he can only stay in Chang'an for three days at most."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuan and said decisively: "Your Majesty, three days are enough to enjoy the entire city of Chang'an."

Li Yuan sighed again and said: "This child finally came here. The next time he comes may be many years later. Are you only going to let him play in Chang'an City for three days? You are too cruel."

Wang Si hesitated and gave way: "Five days, no more."

Li Yuan slowly shook his head and suddenly said: "There are eight scenic spots in Chang'an, and you can visit each scene in one day. In addition, he led his army to participate in the Liang Kingdom war this time, and personally risked his bow and arrow to make great military exploits. Since ancient times, merit has not been rewarded, which can easily chill people's hearts. Therefore,

I will keep him for half a month."

One party gives a maximum of five days, but the other party has to stay for half a month. This is obviously not a harmonious bargaining, and the negotiation will fall apart if you are not careful.

Sure enough, Wang Si sneered several times and asked Li Yuan: "If Your Majesty keeps him for half a month, do you want to give him a reward?"

Li Yuan took a deep look at him and said, "Wang Aiqing is so majestic. Are you asking me to choose one of the two?"

"If I had only myself, I would not dare to say such things!"

Wang Si cupped his hands and said without fear: "But this is the bottom line for all aristocratic families, so I can only bite the bullet and become a villain. Your Majesty, do you want to keep him for half a month, or give him a reward for military exploits..."

Li Yuan suddenly put his hands behind his back, as if he had no patience to argue with everyone anymore, and said firmly: "I am the emperor and I don't make choices."

I want them all.

This is the spirit of an emperor.

The aristocratic families present were shocked, and they all began to take off their official clothes. However, Li Yuan seemed to be determined and had no intention of giving in. Instead, he suddenly spoke to the bottom of the city wall and said in a deep voice: "Now there is a gentleman from Hebei, Gu In the end of the world, Liang Guo made great achievements in the first battle, and I will give you a special title..."

"Your Majesty, please listen to me."

Finally, Cui Gong, who had never spoken a word, stood up, bowed his hands and said: "Gu Tianya, I can make him a Duke. Gu Tianya can stay for half a month, or even a month or two. Your Majesty, you can keep him, but have you thought about it?" However, it may not be a good thing for him to stay..."

After a pause, he added with profound meaning: "After all, he is a relative."

Li Yuan's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he said forcefully: "So what if I'm a relative? He is my son-in-law."

Cui Gong laughed and said leisurely: "Back then, Dugu Xin had three daughters and married three sons-in-law, all of whom became emperors..."

Li Yuan's expression seemed to change drastically.

Cui Gong stopped talking, cupped his hands and slowly retreated.

The heart-attacking words have been successful.

Everyone quietly observed the emperor's expression and found that Li Yuan seemed to be hesitant.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone laughing under the city wall, but then I heard Gu Tianya speak loudly, and spoke leisurely towards the city wall, saying: "Your Majesty, I will return to Hebei in the end."

Li Yuan seemed startled and said hurriedly: "You have made great achievements this time, I will at least make you a Duke."

Although he said that he would be granted the title of Duke, he never mentioned it again.

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Although the position of Duke is good, it is a pity that I have no chance. Your Majesty, please give Yunzhou to me, oh, no..."

He seemed to suddenly feel that the request was too low, and then added: "It should be said that it is given to the Gu family. At least three generations can be considered the Gu family."

"presumptuous!"

Before Li Yuan could speak, a group of imperial censors became furious and said: "How can one state be granted three generations of titles? Doesn't this become a state within a state? The ambition of a wolf is obvious."

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya ignored these censors at all and just looked up at Li Yuan. He suddenly bowed down and said as if inspired by something: "Father-in-law, my child is about to be born."

This time, he did not call His Majesty.

Li Yuan suddenly slapped the city wall hard and said in a deep voice: "Gu Tianya, a scholar from Hebei Province, had military exploits in the Liang Kingdom. He gave Yunzhou a land and passed it down to the three generations of the Gu family."

After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Gu Tianya and said, "Go home and take good care of Xiuning."

Gu Tianya bowed his hands and said, "When your grandson is born, I will write you a letter to announce the good news."
