Li Longji was speechless when facing Pei Min's words.

really!

He valued Pei Min very much, but everything was different from closeness.

The Southern Imperial Guards and the Northern Imperial Guards are both imperial guards of the Emperor, so they can be regarded as his direct lineage!

This is a common practice for the Emperor's Imperial Guard to choose the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and the salary of the Emperor's Imperial Guard is the highest among all soldiers. Even if there is a famine in the world, it is natural that the Emperor's Imperial Guard cannot be hungry.

Wang Maozhong saw the opportunity again and shouted: "What do you mean? The imperial guards in the north and south yamen are the emperor's personal guards. If you have armor and equipment, you will enjoy it first. Are you still not convinced?"

Pei Min still ignored Wang Maozhong's provocation, but looked at Li Longji and said, "I remember four years ago, I was highly valued by Your Majesty and promoted to the Minister of War, and I was fully responsible for the promotion of the recruitment system. The first recruitment system was handled by me, I remember clearly. At that time, a total of 200,000 people were recruited, and I finally recruited 110,000 people in three tests. They were all soldiers and had the potential to strengthen their troops. Your Majesty chose the best 100,000 people to supply the sixteen guards of Chang'an, strengthen the guards of the capital, and named it Changcong Suwei."

"The remaining ten thousand people are the current Shence Army! If I remember correctly, the source of the soldiers of the Right Guard should all come from the soldiers carefully selected by me back then. It has only been a few years, three years! In less than four years, the soldiers of that year have been corrupted into this virtue today. I feel heartbroken! Oranges are born in Huainan and are born in Huainan and Zhizhi. What kind of environment and treatment is it? The warriors who are passionate and dedicated to serving the country will become today's waste!"

Pei Min shook his head and sighed, "Is it the right guard like this, or is it the sixteen guards in the southern yamen, or even the imperial guards in the northern yamen? Is it a corrupt family, or is it everyone in the same dyeing vat, and I don't know its odor after hearing it for a long time? I don't know that if it is the former, I should punish it severely to serve as a warning and not tolerate it. If it is the latter, I should use thunder to eliminate incompetent and useless generals and officers, and wipe out the hidden dangers in the shortest time. Otherwise, my country's destiny will be in danger."

"Bold!" Wang Maozhong's face changed, and he was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at Pei Min, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was trying his best to deal with the current crisis, but Pei Min completely ignored him, leaving him with nowhere to display his strength, and could only watch Pei Min speak loudly.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Maozhong finally couldn't help it and said loudly to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Pei Min's intention is to be punished! He is a foreign minister, what is the intention of interfering in the Emperor's Imperial Guard? The Emperor's Imperial Guard is Your Majesty's personal guard. How can the turbulent guards be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty? Pei Min is exaggerating everywhere, and his motive is not pure!"

Li Longji's expression also changed, "The country's destiny is in danger." The weight of these eight words Pei Min said is really not light.

"Pei Qing, do you know what you said?" Li Longji looked at Pei Min solemnly.

Pei Min said in a deep voice: "Of course I know, I also know that what General Wang said is indeed reasonable. I am a foreign minister, and I should not interfere with the affairs of the Emperor's Imperial Guard. However, the crisis has emerged. I know that there is such a crisis, but I ignore it. How can I be worthy of Your Majesty's care and respect? I am worthy of my conscience? I am not happy!"

"Your Majesty!" Pei Min said cautiously: "Why did Emperor Taizong use his troops in Guanzhong to control the world? It is because of the center of Guanzhong, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. Chang'an is stable, the Tang Dynasty is stable, and Chang'an is stable, the Tang Dynasty is stable!"

"Authentic! Today is different from the past! Now the population is growing and the government military system has been corrupt. It is impossible to use Guanzhong soldiers to control the world during the current Taizong period, but we cannot neglect the imperial guards and slackness against Guanzhong soldiers! Otherwise, I will be strong and weak, and I will suffer endless disasters, and I may repeat the mistakes of the Han Dynasty. Even if I am worried about everything today, I hope Your Majesty can prevent the problem and avoid such hidden dangers. I will say this to you, I hope Your Majesty will judge you!"

Pei Min bowed and continued!

Wang Maozhong didn't know how to speak for a moment, and looked at Pei Min with a few idiots. He felt depressed and thought to himself: "Why are you so stupid?"

In his opinion, Pei Min couldn't escape the position of Longyou Jiedushi.

As a chief official of the border and the commander of the border, Pei Min actually said that the ministers are strong and the kings are weak. Isn’t it obvious that he shot himself in the foot?

There is such a stupid person in this world?

How could he know what Pei Min wants in his heart?

Li Longji suddenly laughed and said, "I told you that the position of the Longyou Jiedushi will be reserved for you. The Longyou Army is closest to Guanzhong, and it is the only one in the current nine major Jiedushis who have troops behind Fan Yang. As my beloved ministers said, the ministers are strong and the kings are weak, and the one that poses the greatest threat to Guanzhong is Longyou. Are you not afraid, in order to prevent such a situation, I will weaken the strength of the Longyou Army?"

Pei Min shook his head and said, "What are you going to be afraid of? Your Majesty is a wise lord. How could you do such a thing that will not be worth the loss? It is obvious that as long as you strengthen the control of the Southern Yamen and the training of the imperial guards' strength, you can solve the problem. Why not do this in one go!"

"Haha!" Li Longji laughed and said, "I have made you speechless!" He suddenly sighed: "Only Pei Qing, the civil and military officials in the court, can treat me with a sincere heart without caring about personal gains and losses. Today, I remember every word and every word you say in my heart. I will investigate this matter carefully, and I also hope that it is just the corruption of the Right Guard Army. If it is as you said, I will never tolerate it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Pei Min breathed a long sigh. After today's incident, the scene of a strong minister and a weak minister in history should not have happened!

"You all go down! I have a conclusion about this matter!" Li Longji issued an order to expel guests, and he looked at Gao Guangji again: "As for you, come, suppress Gao Guangji and hand it over to the Censorate for interrogation. Tell the Censorate that I want to know what he has done in the years as the General of the Right Guard, and bring my Emperor's Imperial Guard into this virtue."

Wang Maozhong wanted to speak but stopped. He met Li Longji's eyes and dared not say anything again. He said goodbye and left.

Pei Min, Wang Maozhong and Gao Guangji, who was arrested by the soldiers, came out of Tai Chi Palace together.

Wang Maozhong snorted proudly, intending to knock Pei Min away and walk in front.

The warrior Pei Min had such a sharp impression. He noticed something strange. The Tai Chi skill was released with the flow, slightly to the right, and gently added some force.

Wang Maozhong hit a hole, his center of gravity was a little unstable, and he touched Pei Min again, and immediately lost his balance. He fell flat and fell down, and fell into the mud, his nose hit the ground heavily, and blood was flowing.

"Ah! General Wang, what's wrong with you?" Pei Min deliberately walked to the guardrail in the corridor and stepped forward to support him!

Wang Maozhong was even more angry and shouted, "Get out!", and shook his hand suddenly, intending to open Pei Min's hand.

Pei Min flashed again!

Bang!

Wang Maozhong's fingertips were heavily thrown on the guardrail!
Chapter completed!
