Chapter 650 It's Ridiculous
At night, the whole barracks was filled with the smell of meat.
The soldiers sucked in the tempting fragrance vigorously.
Didn't they serve as soldiers just to make a living, and having meat to eat was the happiest thing for them.
These soldiers didn't understand any major principles, they knew that Lin Xuan was kind to them, and they were very grateful to Lin Xuan, and their loyalty to Lin Xuan also increased gradually.
Lin Xuan looked at the smiles on the faces of those soldiers, and also smiled.

Changan
Li Tai was a little baffled by Li Shimin's sudden sending of a lot of rewards.
In the past, Li Shimin often rewarded him, but there was always a reason.
But this time it was sent so suddenly, and he asked the servants, but he didn't ask any useful information, which made him confused for a while.
Send someone to look for Hanwen, but Hanwen is not in the house.
Li Tai sent someone to tell him to wait for Han Wenhui to come and see him as soon as possible.
In the evening, Han Wen returned to Furong Garden. When he heard that Li Tai was looking for him, he didn't dare to delay, so he went to see Li Tai immediately.
"See Your Highness, I heard that His Highness is looking for me, what's the matter?" Han Wen asked with a salute.
"Father sent some treasures and precious medicinal materials today, but he didn't say any reason. This article has been thinking for so long and can't figure out what the reason is. Without finding out the reason, this article is really hard to feel at ease." Li Tai said.
Han Wen frowned. Generally, there is a reason for rewards. This is the first time he has seen people send things over without any reason.
"Your Highness, I think His Majesty felt a little guilty towards His Highness and wanted to make up for His Highness." Han Wen guessed after thinking for a while but couldn't figure out the reason.
"Make it up?" Li Tai looked at Han Wen with some puzzlement.
"Yes, a few days ago, His Majesty was forced to order His Highness to resign after half a year. Afterwards, he must have felt that he owed His Highness, so he sent some things to make up for His Highness."
The more Han Wen said, the more he felt that his guess should be correct.
He really couldn't find any other reason besides this.
Li Tai's face was a little gloomy, he didn't care about these treasures at all, he really wanted to ask Li Shimin, you clearly know what I want, why don't you give it to me?
Li Tai took a few deep breaths, and said, "Let's not talk about this now, Hou Junji was sent to the southwest border, did you know about this?"
Han Wen's eyes were bright, but he lowered his head slightly and was not noticed by Li Tai.
"Your Highness, this matter has been widely circulated, so I have heard of it," Han Wen said.
Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to go, because otherwise Tubo would annex Tuyuhun and grow stronger, and he had no intention of fighting Tubo.
Therefore, when the troops were dispatched, there was no cover-up, but a little fanfare.
"This article agrees with what you said before, but most of the family's private soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and they are not those elite opponents outside Chang'an City. In order to increase the success rate, we should find a way to gain some military power." Li Tai Said.
Knowing that Li Tai wanted to interfere in the military power, Han Wenda frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty has a very firm grip on the military power. Those who control the military power are all confidantes of the confidantes. It is difficult to win over. If one is not good, His Majesty discovered it." , but it is a catastrophe.”
The Li family raised troops to seize the world, and Li Shimin seized the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident. It can be said that Li Shimin participated in two rebellions in his life.
The first time he rebelled against the Yang family, and the second time he rebelled against his own father.
The more rebellious a person is, the more he will guard against others rebelling against him, and Li Shimin is the same.
Therefore, he held the military power very firmly, and even the Six Commanders of the East Palace, which should have been controlled by the crown prince, were in his hands.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled and played with a yellow robe to replace Hou Zhou.
Then Zhao Kuangyin was very wary of those generals, if you support me today, I will become the emperor, then if you support others tomorrow, will you be able to replace me if you play a game of adding a yellow robe?
It is for this reason that Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine, and took all the military power of those generals.
But there was no great unification at that time, and there were foreign races watching covetously, and the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were also in the hands of foreign races. It was not the time for swords and guns to enter Kuma and release Nanshan.
In order to be able to centralize power, the Song Dynasty implemented a rotation system of generals and soldiers.Generals and soldiers will be rotated every once in a while. If this is a period of unification, such a policy can better implement centralization and better hone the adaptability of the troops.But in the Song Dynasty, wars often occurred, which made it difficult for the Song Dynasty to produce a strong team when it needed it.
In dealing with military power, Li Shimin chose to hold on tightly, but Zhao Kuangyin chose to suppress it, which also created two outcomes in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
When it comes to being strong, the first thing that people compare is the Han and Tang Dynasties.
When it comes to being weak, the first thing that comes to mind is indeed the Song Dynasty.
In fact, the Song Dynasty was the most economically developed dynasty in history.
But the military is indeed very weak, giving the impression that the Song Dynasty is very weak.
Closer to home, Li Shimin has a very firm grip on military power, and the aristocratic family tried to intervene many times but failed to get in.
It's not that the aristocratic family didn't intervene at all, the local county magistrates did have some people from the aristocratic family, but they only had some county soldiers in their hands.
The combat effectiveness of those county soldiers was far worse than that of the sixteen guards, and even the equipment was the worst, not as good as the private soldiers of the aristocratic family.
"This king has a very good candidate, but he needs the help of the family." Li Tai said.
"I don't know what His Highness is talking about?" Han Wen asked with some doubts.
"Lu Guogong Hou Junji." Li Tai said.
Hanwen secretly said that it was so.
When Hou De came to see Li Tai before, he sensed something was wrong.
The last time Li Tai met Hou Junji in secret, although he didn't know who Li Tai was meeting, he was aware of it.
Now it seems that it is not Hou Junji, but Hou De.
He naturally knew about the matter of the Cui family wooing Hou Junji. Now it seemed that Hou Junji didn't want to be a pawn and had other thoughts.
Li Tai's words also made him realize that Li Tai was not so easy to control.
It seems that Li Tai wants to use the hand of the family to push Hou Junji up, but Li Tai may not have the idea of using Hou Junji to balance the family.
Han Wen sneered in his heart. People who don't know the family only think that the family has a long history, and they don't know how powerful the family is.
It is simply ridiculous to think of balancing the family with just one Hou Junji.
"Your Highness should know that His Majesty is very wary of the aristocratic family. If the aristocratic family intervenes, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." Han Wen said with some embarrassment.
Li Shimin is very strict about the family. Cheng Yaojin and the Cui family are relatives by marriage, but he never has any contact with the Cui family. Not only that, but he always sings against the Cui family.
On the one hand, it is to keep up with Li Shimin's pace, on the other hand, it may not mean to show Li Shimin.
Li Shimin acquiesced in the marriage between the Cui family and those generals.
After all, he failed to do what he promised the family at the beginning, and if he stopped the family from getting married, it would be unreasonable.
Although Li Shimin acquiesced, Cheng Yaojin and others who married daughters from aristocratic families did not dare to get too close to the old man's family like ordinary in-laws.
Instead, they deliberately kept their distance.
"It's impossible for the family to only have these forces on the surface?" Li Tai looked at Han Wen with a half-smile.
