Wang Gui intended to integrate these two troops into the left and right military guards to strengthen the strength of the left and right military guards.
Cai Yungong even hoped to incorporate them into the guard of Prince Qi's Mansion and become his personal followers.
The two people each have their own reasons, and they hold their own opinions and do not give in to each other.
Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng were obviously hesitant between these two ideas, so they did not intervene to break up the fight.
Perhaps they couldn't tell which one was more beneficial to the current Tang Dynasty and which one was more beneficial to the Prince's Palace, so they were waiting for Wang Gui and Cai Yungong to come to a conclusion.
If Wang Gui defeats Cai Yungong, then follow Wang Gui's lead.
If Cai Yungong defeats Wang Gui, then follow Cai Yungong's lead.
As long as Wang Gui and Cai Yungong compete to win, they can follow the winner's ideas and avoid continuing to quarrel with their colleagues, and they can avoid having to expend their efforts to persuade their colleagues to accept their ideas.
It can be said that Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng were just lazy, using the quarrel between Wang Gui and Cai Yungong to analyze the pros and cons of the two ideas, and also using the quarrel between Wang Gui and Cai Yungong to convince themselves and their colleagues.
"Why not divide them into two, add the long-sword army to the left and right military guards, and add the Paidao battalion to the guards of my house?"
Li Yuanji had no time to watch Wang Gui and Cai Yungong continue to quarrel, nor would he indulge Wang Gui and Cai Yungong in their quarrel just to be lazy, like Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng.
So when Wang Gui and Cai Yungong were about to have a real quarrel, they couldn't help but speak.
The Changdao Army and the Paidao Battalion each have their own advantages and disadvantages, as well as their own characteristics.
The Changdao Army is also the predecessor of the Modao Team.
Therefore, it is most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty to let the long sword army go to the left and right military guards and cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the left and right military guards to build the Mo Dao Formation in advance.

Although the strength of the Paidao Battalion is stronger than that of the Chang Dao Army, and its deterrence and combat effectiveness on the battlefield are greater than that of the Chang Dao Army, the limitations of the Paidao Battalion are too great. They must be strong men and must control the giant blade. , in order to exert its due strength.
There is no way to promote this in the army, because there are not that many strong men in the army, and the entire Tang Dynasty cannot find that many strong men to assign to various armies and let them form sword-beating formations.
When Du Fuwei formed the Paidao Battalion, he searched the Southeast Road and all the warriors in the vicinity of the Southeast Road, and only managed to collect 200 warriors.
Based on the current population base of the Tang Dynasty and the number of state roads, the number of warriors that can be gathered is estimated to be more than 1,000 and less than 2,000.
Assigned to the Twelve Guards and all the governor's offices in the world, there are only a dozen or twenty people, which cannot have much effect at all.
Moreover, when the Paidao Battalion is fighting, the requirements for the battlefield are also very high. It can only serve as a special force once in a while, and cannot be used frequently at all.
Therefore, Paidao Camp is not suitable for incorporation into the army at all.
It is more suitable for the Xuanjia Army to become a unique force of the Tang Dynasty, following those in power and winning by surprise at critical moments.
"Your Highness?!"
"..."
Wang Gui and Cai Yungong heard Li Yuanji's voice, stopped arguing, and took the initiative to come forward.
Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng did not dare to continue sitting and watching the excitement, and they also stood up and stepped forward to greet them.
After accepting their worship, Li Yuanji smiled and said: "What's so fussy about this kind of thing? We just need to analyze whether they are suitable for being recruited into the army based on their characteristics."
In my opinion, the Long Knife Army is more suitable to be incorporated into the army, because their characteristics lie in their weapons, not their people.
As long as they play a huge role in the army, we can follow suit and set up long-sword soldiers in each army.
In comparison, Paidao Camp is not suitable because their characteristics are people and weapons.
If they play a huge role in the army, we can follow suit and forge the same weapons, but it is difficult for us to find the same people.
Even if we search the entire Tang Dynasty, we probably won’t be able to find much, right?
Therefore, the Long Sword Army is obviously more suitable to be incorporated into the army, while the Paidao Battalion can only be left as a surprise force."
Cai Yungong said with a look of sudden realization: "That's really the case. His Highness's words really made me enlightened."
Wang Gui glanced at Cai Yungong with disdain, and was very disdainful of a flatterer like Cai Yungong.
Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng looked at each other happily.
Ma Zhou smiled and said: "Since His Highness has spoken, then we will do as His Highness said."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, without saying anything more on this topic. After exchanging greetings with Ma Zhou, he entered the main hall of Jixian Yuan.
After sitting down, he took a closer look at Ma Zhou and Wang Gui.
Wang Gui is still the same as when he left Beijing.
Ma Zhou was different. Not only did he grow a short beard, but he also looked much calmer. He no longer had the spirit that he had before when he couldn't see certain things and got angry.
Li Yuanji looked at Ma Zhou for a long time and said with emotion: "I have worked hard for you for more than a year."
Ma Zhou naturally knew what Li Yuanji was talking about, and immediately said gratefully: "Thanks to His Highness's great love, I have entrusted you with important responsibilities regardless of my background. I only helped His Highness with some trivial things, and it is not hard work at all."
Wang Gui and Cai Yungong had no reaction to Ma Zhou's gratitude or Ma Zhou's words.
One of their families is from a wealthy family, and the other family is filled with officials for generations. They cannot understand the hardships that people from a poor family endure when they climb up the ladder. They also cannot understand how powerful it is for a person from a poor family to be appreciated by a noble person. Gift.
Therefore, they had no feelings about Ma Zhou's reaction and what he said.
In comparison, Wei Zheng felt more deeply, because he was also from a poor family, and his status today was achieved through countless hardships and hard work.
When he first became an official, he was an official under the former Sui Dynasty's Wuyang County Cheng Yuan Bao Bao, but he was not taken seriously by Yuan Bao Bao and was always used as a pen official by Yuan Bao Bao.
Later, Yuanbao Bao decided to rebel and raised troops to respond to Li Mi of Wagang. He followed Yuan Bao to Wagang and gained Li Mi's appreciation before he began to show his prominence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Li Mi hadn’t appreciated him in an eclectic way and put him in high regard, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this position now, and he wouldn’t have been able to survive in this era where people talk about their origins and family background everywhere. Show off yourself.
Now he doesn't have to worry about anyone looking down on him because of his background and family background, because he married a good wife.
A noble daughter born in the Pei family of Hedong.
The Hedong Pei family is the second most wealthy family in Taiyuan Prefecture, second only to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Most of the officials with the surname Pei in the Tang Dynasty were related to the Pei family in Hedong.
This includes Pei Ju and Pei Ji.
However, Pei Ju and Pei Ji come from the Xijuan family of the Pei family in Hedong, also called the Xijuan Pei family.
If you have to build a relationship, you can do it.
It is precisely because of this that no one in the circle of wealthy families dares to look down on him anymore.
When he looks at Ma Zhou now, it's like looking at himself in the past, and he feels more naturally.
Especially when Ma Zhou did a lot of things for Li Yuanji, but he didn't dare to straighten his back and ask for credit from Li Yuanji, but kept saying that he didn't work hard, he felt even more.
Once upon a time, before he married Mr. Pei, he faced Yuan Baobao and Li Mi in the same way.
"It's hard work, no need to be humble. I know what you have done and what contributions you have made, and I will always remember it for you. Now that you have returned to Beijing, the errands of Hebei Province can be relieved.
From now on, this Jixianyuan will be handed over to you."
Li Yuanji waved his hands and smiled.
He doesn't care about his background or not.
He only cares about whether this person has ability and whether he can use it for his own purposes.
If you have the ability, are willing to use it only for him, and have made merit for him, then he will not be stingy with rewards.
Although Jixian Yuan is just a courtyard now, it has no official name and no officials.
But Jixianyuan is the office place Li Yuanji prepared for his confidants.
Before the confidants came to the stage, before the confidants replaced the three ministers and nine ministers, this was the place where the confidants participated in and discussed politics. It was also the other political center and power center of the Qi Palace after Zhaode Hall.
When Ma Zhou heard this, he said with a frightened look on his face: "This...this...how can I be so virtuous and capable?"
There were people like Wang Gui who were already high-ranking officials, and there were people like Cai Yungong and Wei Zheng who were already well-known in the court. Ma Zhou really didn't dare to entrust him to the throne, let alone live anywhere.
on their heads.
It's not that he belittles himself, it's that his foundation is too shallow and his foundation is too weak. If he offends them or is targeted by them, he simply cannot withstand their torment.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "What kind of virtue and ability? It's just a courtyard with no power and no position. Whatever virtue and ability you need, I said I'll leave it to you, so I'll leave it to you."
Besides, Wang Gui and Wei Zheng will soon be in charge of the Yushitai, and Cai Yungong will also supervise the History Museum. They all have their own places to take care of and their respective responsibilities, so they have no time to take care of it.
If I don’t leave this place to you, who will?”
Wang Gui, Cai Yungong, and Wei Zheng all felt sour in their hearts and wanted to change with Ma Zhou.
Although the owner of Jixianyuan does not have a special official position, the meaning it represents is completely different.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Yuanji trusted Ma Zhou the most among the four of them, and Ma Zhou was promoted by Li Yuanji, they would all want to compete with Ma Zhou.
Now that they heard Li Yuanji's words, they not only had to smile with their faces, but also suppressed the sourness in their hearts and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, we all have important responsibilities, but we can't take care of this place. I can only leave this place to you." Already."
Ma Zhou could tell that Wang Gui and the other three were telling lies, but because Li Yuanji had said this, Wang Gui and the other three raised Li Yuanji's words again. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't give Li Yuanji face and was ignorant. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"Since Your Highness insists on letting me take charge of this Jixian Courtyard, I will shamelessly do it first."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, saying hello: "You and Wang Gui have just returned to Beijing, and I haven't had time to see you. I just have free time today, and we have Wei Zheng and Cai Yungong to keep us company, so we got drunk together. How about I give you a break and wash away the dust?"
Ma Zhou and Wang Gui bowed together and saluted.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji nodded again and called for wine and food.
