The uncle and nephew stood on the temporary high platform.

The soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are practicing in batches.

Marquis Pingwu asked Ling Changzhi, "How is the military appearance?"

"Strengthen the army!"

Hou Pingwu shook his head, "It's not good enough! At least it's not as good as the soldiers in Liangzhou!"

Ling Changzhi immediately said: "The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou come from a bitter and cold place and fight against foreign races all year round. The soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are located in the inland and are in peace. However, since the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou went to the northern front line to fight with Wuheng, both the military appearance and combat power have been significantly improved. When my uncle took over the imperial edict of the founding emperor, he did not delay and personally led the army to the front line to attack Wuheng. Could it be that it was just for training troops?"

Pingwu Hou did not hide his purpose and nodded happily to admit, "As for the army, you have to go to the battlefield to fight before you can practice it! Your Ling family team should also go to the battlefield to practice."

Ling Changzhi said softly: "I will add my personal soldiers to the Southern Army, and it is currently a bit of progress."

Pingwu Hou sneered, "A group of thieves are out of order. You should go to the north to fight Wuheng, and fight foreigners."

Ling Changzhi said solemnly: "I will not leave the capital. I am not afraid of going to the front line to endure hardships, but my uncle's goals are different."

Pingwu Hou glanced at him with complicated eyes and smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he said, "Tell Your Majesty that I will bring eight thousand troops into the city."

Ling Changzhi frowned slightly, "There are too many eight thousand soldiers and horses, and the court's opposition is one after another! I think five thousand soldiers and horses are enough!"

Mr. Pingwu played with the horse whip in his hand, "Are you worried that this man would force the palace?"

Ling Changzhi laughed, "Uncle just likes to joke! Uncle is a minister of the court and a loyal minister. How can he force the palace? Only rebel ministers can he force the palace!"

"Changzhi, are you reminding me to not be a rebel minister? If I have this intention, I can still fight in the north obediently, how many years will it take for me to fight?"

"My uncle said that fighting is for training troops! The troops in Yuzhou are already powerful in the world, invincible, and the world is so big that you can go anywhere!"

"Hahaha……"

Marquis Pingwu laughed loudly.

After laughing, he said very simply: "Five thousand is only five thousand! This marquis brings five thousand troops into the city and meet the emperor! This marquis might as well tell you that this marquis needs 5,000 dan of food and grass, 10,000 war horses, and several armed beddings! This marquis will give you a list, and you ask the court to prepare all the complete list for this marquis according to the number on the list."

Ling Changzhi felt embarrassed and rubbed his eyebrows, "Now, the court is so poor that he can't even get rid of the blame, and the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue is so empty that it can run away from mice. Only the young mansion has saved some property, but he can't bear the request like this by his uncle. I can reply to my uncle now that the court cannot afford the supplies he needs."

The Marquis of Pingwu seemed to be smiling, "Don't worry, the court must have a way to prepare the supplies needed by Benhou. The Great Wei Dynasty has been in the past hundred years, and I know better than you how many possessions the royal family has saved in private."

Ling Changzhi retorted: "Since Mr. Zhong took over the Shaofu, the accounts of the Shaofu have basically been made public. The Shaofu has not left much money, and they all look forward to collecting taxes from the world after the autumn harvest this year."

Mr. Pingwu laughed, "Changzhi, Changzhi, it seems that you really don't know something. In addition to the Shaofu, the royal family also has a private warehouse. Emperors of all dynasties will replenish gold, silver and money in the private warehouse."

What is it that a case of rebellion breaks out and only tens of millions of deaths?

There have been decades of internal fighting, and there are probably no less than 300,000 to 400,000 people who died. The families who were forced to move alone have a population of up to one million. Among these people, probably only half of them can live to their destinations.

In short, the cruelty of its internal consumption is rare in the world!

However, as soon as the "Crown Prince Zhang Yi" died, all these internal stories were intentionally covered up. Without this reminder, you also know that it was the work of Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping. They modified the records and sealed the mouths of the people in the world. Therefore, people of your age know little about the things that happened back then!"

"My uncle means, 'Crown Prince Zhang Yi' should damn?"

Mr. Pingwu smiled, "I don't know if he deserves to die. Back then, Mr. Wang was also a young man and was not qualified to participate in such a big event! Mr. Wang only knew that "Prince Zhang Yi" was not a weak person, nor was he the weak scholar you thought.

The "Prince Zhang Yi" I learned was a decisive person. After the court struggle he had started, there were no less than 100,000 people who were directly implicated! The aristocratic families that were destroyed in his hands could not count them in both hands!

You said that the aristocratic families in the world hated him so much! If he ascended the throne as the emperor as soon as possible, the Great Wei Dynasty would definitely be different! The Ling family and the Shi family would probably not be as glorious as they are now! Now, you should know how nervous and afraid Yan Shouzhan had to marry Princess Zhuyang back then!"

Ling Changzhi was shocked by the sudden big revelation.

He rubbed his eyebrows, "My father and mother have never mentioned this."

Pingwu Hou laughed, "That's because at that time, they were all children and were far away from the capital, so they naturally didn't know the specific inside story."

"Why is my uncle so clear?"

"Have you ever told you that I have witnessed the history of the destruction of the "Crown Prince Zhang Yi" and the East Palace with my own eyes? Do you know how powerful the East Palace was back then? It was so big that it was unimaginable. The East Palace Guard Camp had 12,000 people, far exceeding the upper limit of the number of people stipulated by the court system. There were thousands of officials and guests from the East Palace! There were two or three thousand people in the East Palace's eunuchs and palace servants. There were two or three thousand people in the court. There were eyeliners everywhere in the East Palace!"

"The East Palace is so huge, why did it end up losing?"

"No matter how powerful the Eastern Palace is, how can it be compared to the Emperor Zhongzong who holds the imperial power! Of course, the expansion of the Eastern Palace to such an extent is also the indulgence of the Emperor Zhongzong! Unexpectedly, it will eventually harm others and oneself! In order to destroy the Eastern Palace, the two armies of the north and south, including the imperial guards, were dispatched together. Local generals were on guard around the capital. The scene back then was not comparable now. "Crown Prince Zhang Yi" had already escaped and died at the hands of the Northern Army."

Ling Changzhi was surprised, "But, all records say that 'Crown Prince Zhang Yi' committed suicide in the East Palace!"

Pingwu Hou sneered, then sighed, "That was just the wishful thinking of Emperor Zhongzong! In fact, "Crown Prince Zhang Yi" died at the hands of the Northern Army. At that time, he had already escaped from the capital, but unfortunately he entered the encirclement. In front of him, the troops led by local military generals blocked his way, and behind him, the Northern Army pursued him.
