Li Po took out a copy of the memorial and waved to Dou Wenbiao, asking him to come forward and speak.
Dou Wenbiao is younger than Xue Yuanjing. He is a typical member of the Kansai family. He looks gentle and elegant, but he always reveals a bit of toughness without realizing it.
His father was Dou Xi, the former Sui Dynasty Zuowuwei general, who is now dead. Dou Wenbiao is his only son. Now he is in charge of the family, and he has been recommended as a living minister, and his career is very good.
Having just taken office, he had been warned by his uncles to act more cautiously. Every time he recorded notes on daily life, he would have the emperor personally review and delete them. He was obviously not as bold as Xue Yuanjing.
At this moment, he was a little confused, so he moved closer and looked like he was waiting for instructions. Sun Fujia was watching from the side, and he immediately had the urge to read this book.
Li Po pushed the memorial forward and said: "In the coming spring, the eldest princess of Fufeng will return to my hometown to worship my ancestors on my behalf. The Dou family is a prominent family in Fufeng, and they want to fulfill their loyalty as landlords. Who do you think is suitable to accompany you?"
Dou Wenbiao looked at the emperor's face cautiously and pondered for a long time: "Brother Fengjie was raised in Fufeng since he was a child. He is now serving as the Yulin Army Chief Commander and will be appointed as the Longxi County Lieutenant next year.
Fengjie is a loyal and upright person, and he knows how to deal with people well. Everyone in the clan respects him, and I believe that by having him accompany the eldest princess, he should be able to fulfill his duties and live up to your majesty's trust."
Li Po nodded. He was from the Yulin Army, which was quite suitable. He asked casually, "Who is his father?"
Dou Wenbiao replied honestly: "Your Majesty, my brother is the only son of my uncle, Dou Shilang of the Ministry of War."
"It turns out to be Dou Shize's son, that's him..."
Li Po had a good impression of Dou Gui. When he first met him, Dou Gui was lying on the bed and almost didn't go to see the King of Hell. After recovering from his injuries, he surrendered himself.
During those two years, I traveled around to provide food and fodder for the army. I put in a lot of effort, but I didn't hear any complaints. I could talk to Yu Chigong, Xu Shiji and others.
He is much more down-to-earth as a person than his younger brother whose nose is on his head, and the son he has taught him should be good too, right? Well, just meet him later.
When the girl travels far away, the brother has to worry a lot, especially when the girl is not very worried, he has to pay even more attention.

"I ordered Zuo Wuwei General Xu Shiji, Zuo Yuwei General Wang Zhibian, Zuo Xiaowei General Zhang Shigui, and Zuo Jianmen Guard General Pang Yu to return to the court to report on their duties. They were given two months to rectify their military affairs and return when the weather is warmer.
It’s not too late for Beijing.”
In the sixth year of Yuanzhen, calling back the generals from all over the country was one of the top priorities of the imperial court.
The Zhechong Mansion has almost been set up, and the establishment of additional military towns is on the agenda.
The military structure of the early Tang Dynasty was roughly similar to that of the former Sui Dynasty. It relied on the government soldiers and the town army as a standing army to guard various border fortresses and key points. Once there was a big war, the government soldiers were recruited to participate in the war.
There is an additional Zhechong Mansion in the middle, which makes it more convenient and powerful to recruit soldiers. It strengthens the control and training of the soldiers, especially the military discipline. After the army is formed, it will be more powerful than the soldiers recruited by the former Sui Dynasty.
Organizational.
Of course, this is also part of the centralization of power, increasing the control over the Wei Mansion from the Zhechong Mansion level and weakening the military power of each Wei Mansion.
In the middle of the DPRK, the Ministry of War was mainly responsible for containing the Wei government.
Li Po thought about this for a long time and discussed it with his ministers for a long time. The reason why he did not cancel the Wei Mansion was because he wanted to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
As was done later, in order to stabilize the imperial power, generals who were experienced in fighting could not be left idle or even integrated into the civil service system.
There are still many battles to be fought in the Tang Dynasty, and the generals who have experienced battles are undoubtedly the most powerful support for the army. It is easy to get a thousand armies but it is difficult to find one general.
Not only do you want the army to have a strong combat effectiveness, but you cannot let the generals' prestige in the army be too high. This is also one of the most troublesome problems for dynasties in the past.
The former Sui Dynasty, which produced many famous generals, is actually very valuable for reference, but Yang Guang's personal ability is too strong, which makes people doubt everything about the military and political affairs of the former Sui Dynasty.
…………
Liu Zhengyou, a regular servant of Sanqi, wrote the imperial edict.
He was born in the Liu family of Mianchi, and studied under Lu Sidao, a famous scholar in Hebei. He worked as a scholar in the Sui Dynasty, and was well-known for his talent in Luoyang. It is said that he fled to Chang'an because he did not want to draft a false edict for Wang Shichong.
This is the person recommended by Changsun Shunde...
When the edict was presented, Li Po looked at it and immediately frowned and said: "There must be a gap between the lines. How long has it been since you took office and it is still like this? Do you have any intention?"
With a snap, he threw the edict on the ground, looked at Liu Zhengyou, who was pale and fell to the ground as soon as his legs went weak, and said angrily: "You are a regular servant of Sanqi, serving the left and right, do you want me to personally warn you about such a trivial matter?
The eldest grandson, Shunde, is also dim-sighted. Why did he recommend you?
Hum, forget it this time, it won’t happen next time..."
These words were said so harshly that the whole hall suddenly became silent.
Liu Zhengyou got up dejectedly and returned to his seat. He almost fell down and drafted a new edict. Out of fear, his handwriting was much worse and he almost dropped ink on the edict.
Li Po took it over and took a look at it, frowned again, and did not blame Liu Zhengyou anymore, but it made another Sanqi Changshi chief writer obviously very dissatisfied.
Liu Zhengyou's face was ashen at this time.
Sun Fuga couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, please calm down. There are rules in the imperial edict. If there is no violation of the rules, how can your Majesty blame me?"
Li Po looked over sideways, "So, it's my fault?"
Sun Fujia was not afraid, and he did not even have many emotional ups and downs. Li Po nodded secretly, and his magnanimity alone could compare to that of Wei Xuancheng.
"Your Majesty is the emperor, so how can the emperor make mistakes? It's just a matter of habit. After all, it has not yet been made a clear edict. You can change it according to the system later. There is no need to use unknown fire to avoid making your ministers confused and miss important events."
Li Po thought for a while, and his expression gradually softened, "What you said makes sense. Without rules, there is no rule. This Tai Chi Hall is the foundation of the world, and it should be abided by the rules to become a model for the world."
At the end of the year, it is inevitable that the false fire will become stronger and stronger. It is my fault. Please don't panic. Just use what Liu Qing wrote and issue the edict."
In just a few rounds, an image of being receptive to others was established.
Sun Fujia bowed happily and said: "Your Majesty is wise enough to do this. I am lucky for you."
Li Po waved his hand, "Who can say what's good or bad? People often say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Haha, you close friends should be more careful."
Sun Fujia was stunned. This is more than just accompanying a king like accompanying a tiger. When a tiger wants to eat a person, everyone can guess it. I don’t have much idea of what you are thinking.
Changsun Shunde had recommended many people to serve under his sect, and Liu Zhengyou was one of them. Sun Fujia thought about it and couldn't help but feel that the burden on Changsun Shunde was very heavy...
