He felt that the Xia Yu in front of him was his destined Sun Bin, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang!
He must seize it and pocket it.
"Sir, you are a great talent. If you are not abandoned, and you are temporarily appointed to the Prince of Qin's palace to join the army, what about you Cheng, Daxingtai, Xiaodong Road?" Instinctively, Li Shimin grabbed Xia Yu's hand again.
Xia Yu: "..." It's too bad, can you please stop holding hands!
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they were extremely envious.
You must know that the Qin Prince's proposal to join the army was Li Shimin's personal think tank, second only to Qin Prince Fu, not to mention his closest confidant, and his official position had reached the fifth rank (department level).
As for Daxingtai Youcheng of Nadong Road, he is even more awesome.
This is a high position starting from the fourth rank (deputy provincial level), and is responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of all officials in the office. It has great real power.
By the way, what is Daxingtai on Nadong Road?
That is, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin the management rights of all the provinces east of the narrow west. This was half of the Tang Dynasty!
Although most of these sites are still in the hands of Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others, they are a blank check.
But, the cards are there.
Therefore, upon hearing about these two positions, everyone knew that Li Shimin was spending a lot of money to win over Xia Yu.
At present, even Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, etc., who are highly trusted by Li Shimin, all have lower official positions.
Of course, everyone was convinced, are Guigu disciples worth the price?
"Uh-" Xia Yu began to ponder at this time.
Is this dissatisfaction?
Li Shi's heart skipped a beat: Yes, sir, he is a disciple of Guigu! During the Warring States Period, that man didn't become a general and become a prime minister, reaching the sky in one step!
My price is indeed a bit low.
However, he is not the emperor now, so it is difficult for him to say anything. The two positions he has given are the greatest sincerity.
Li Shimin was anxious and tightened his grip on Xia Yu's hand, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
King Xiao Qin said very sincerely: "I know that I am wronged by my humble position. Please be patient for a while, and we will be able to prosper in the future."
Xia Yu: "..." Good guy, this thirst for talents really moved him to death.
No wonder Comrade Li Er has gathered around him the strongest founding group in history, with so many talented people. This skill and sincerity are unparalleled.
However, he really doesn't think his position is low.
"Your Highness has misunderstood," Xia Yu said quickly: "It's not that I think your position is low, it's just that I'm not interested in these two positions."
Calmly, he pulled his hand out of Li Shimin's clutches again.
Ah!? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the answer to be like this. He quickly said: "If you want to take the position, sir, just say so."
"Military advisor!" Xia Yu said with a slight smile.
military adviser!?
Li Shimin was stunned, and all the civil and military officials were even more confused.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yu was a little confused.
"Well," Xue Shou coughed lightly and explained, "Sir, I don't know something, but we in the Tang Dynasty do not have the position of military advisor."
Li Shimin nodded fiercely.
The position of military advisor began during the Warring States Period. The first person was Sun Bin, a great military strategist. He was responsible for supervising military affairs and making suggestions. He was similar to the modern chief of staff of the three armed forces and had a high status in the military.
Let’s take a look at who served as military advisors in history, right?
Sun Bin.
Zhang Liang.
Zhuge Liang.
And Xun You.
You should understand how awesome this position of military advisor is!
Later, Han, Three Kingdoms, and Jin all also had this position. But after the fall of Jin, there was no military adviser position in each dynasty, and the same was true in the Tang Dynasty.
When Xia Yu heard this, she became anxious.
You know, his idols since childhood were military advisors like Sun Bin, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen who were so wise that they were almost demonic.
He has always dreamed that one day, he can become such a man of God who can turn his boats and oars into ashes while talking and laughing.
In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, wasn't Xu Maogong (Li Shiji) the military advisor also worthy of flying high?
How come it's his turn to find out if he doesn't have this position?
Isn’t this playing tricks on people?
"How is this possible!?"
"It must be there!"
Xia Yu's face turned red and she seemed to be going crazy.
"..." Li Shimin was speechless. The price offered by Xia Yu was very difficult. Not to mention the extremely high position, Datang didn't have the key yet.
He couldn't help but probe: "Is this position of military advisor very important to you, sir?"
"Of course." Xia Yu said confidently: "My ideal in life is to surpass the sages of the past generations and become China's number one military advisor! If the Tang Dynasty did not have a chance, I would go back to the mountains." She was about to leave.
Of course, this guy is bluffing.
Actually, Xia Yu didn't think it was too complicated.
He doesn't pursue high status, he just simply, uh, controls the military!
However, this guy still underestimated the status and influence of the position of military advisor in ancient times, and he didn't know how difficult it would be for others!
"Sir, please don't leave and think of a solution." Li Shimin panicked. This late-stage patient with the 'thirsty syndrome' grabbed Xia Yu's hand again and refused to let go.
"Your Highness," at this time, a Qingqu scribe came forward and said with a smile: "Actually, this is not difficult. We in the Tang Dynasty do not have a military adviser, so your Highness can set up one."
Li Shimin wanted to hit someone, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Is it possible that Xuan Ling doesn't know that the position of military advisor is extremely respected. Although sir, he has great talents, but after all, he has just come here and has not shown any outstanding achievements. I am afraid that my father will not agree."
After all, the Tang Dynasty was not the Warring States Period.
During the Warring States Period, there were many examples of people who were still clothed in commoners today, but would be granted the titles of marquises and ministers tomorrow. The so-called princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind!
It was an era when a hundred schools of thought contended and there were not so many rules.
But now, the country is dominated by a powerful family. Just because he is a disciple of Guigu, he wants to reach the sky in one step. I'm afraid Li Yuan will not agree.
Those powerful families will also firmly oppose it.
Li Shimin felt that it was really difficult for him.
At this time, Xia Yu also heard something: Damn it, this position of military advisor seemed to be very powerful in ancient times. The price we charge is too high?
No, just calm down and watch the scenery before talking. He remained calm.
"His Highness is in over his head," Qingqu Scholar was happy: "The position will be established first, and the grade can be gradually increased. We might as well tentatively set the position of general division to be lower than the fourth grade, and wait for meritorious service in the future, and then the grade can be upgraded."
Xia Yu's eyes lit up: Come on, isn't this a typical low-level job with a high salary? You can have this!
Good guy, is this okay? Everyone was stunned.
You must know that the corresponding grades of official positions in this world have always been fixed. How can there be a floating mechanism that follows the market?
Isn’t this a business deal? The Tang Dynasty does not want to lose face!?
Li Shimin blinked, thinking that this move was a stroke of genius.
It doesn't matter if there is no precedent, just follow the authority in everything. After all, no rules are as important as the country, great talents are rare!
A strategist who was only a fourth-grade strategist went to Guigu's disciples and begged for help, and he was probably able to do it.
Just do it!
Li Shimin made up his mind and said to Xia Yu decisively: "What do you think of this proposal, sir? If you agree, the isolation will be on the table. I am sure my father will not refuse."
"Okay." Xia Yu was finally satisfied.
He knew that as long as he had enough chips, the boss would have to bow his head obediently.
For him, the days when he can't be a military advisor are just like salted fish, no fun at all!
"Okay, that gentleman is now a military advisor. He also held both positions before. Official certificates, seals, etc. will be sent to Chang'an soon."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and even though he was overjoyed, he did not forget to push his proposal to join the army and Daxingtai Youcheng over his shoulder.
After all, military advisor is an official position in the court, not something he keeps in his personal pocket. Without these two positions, what would Xia Yu do if someone poached him away?
How should he cry?
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Yu was very happy, and then saluted the scholar Qingqu: "This must be Mr. Fang Xuanling, I thank you for your trouble just now."
This person was a famous prime minister for the ages, and no matter how unruly Xia Yu was, he would not dare to entrust him with it.
Fang Xuanling was also a wonderful person. He knew that Xia Yu cared about the military advisor, so he directly addressed him: "Military advisor, you are very polite. From now on, as a minister in the same palace, I will ask more advice from the military advisor."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's ask each other for advice." Xia Yu was indeed tickled, and she beamed with joy.
"Congratulations, Military Advisor." Seeing this, everyone also congratulated enthusiastically.
You must know that as long as the position of military advisor is established, it will be the third most important figure in the army, second only to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, and it is extremely prominent.
It can be said that military advisors can intervene in all military affairs.
Even though Xia Yu is currently in a low-level position and is a high-ranking official, which is a bit embarrassing, everyone knows that with the abilities of the Guigu disciples, this is only temporary.
This person will definitely be the hottest upstart in the Tang Dynasty!
So, who dares to be disrespectful!?
"Okay," Li Shimin was very happy after taking care of Xia Yu: "Sir, come with me, let's discuss the march."
At the moment, Li Shimin was on the lower left side of the command position and assigned a position to Xia Yu.
This position is higher than that of all civil servants and military commanders, and is highly respected.
Xia Yu was very satisfied. When she raised her head, she looked at the deputy commander Li Yuanji, and their eyes almost sparkled.
Holy shit!
Coincidentally, the two people who were unhappy with each other snorted secretly and turned their heads.
Li Shimin's expression was solemn and heroic: "My lords, the military advisor just now has outlined Gu's military strategy. Do you have any objections?"
"No." All civil and military officials responded one after another.
"That's good. Let's rest for a day today. Tomorrow the whole army will move out of camp and attack Cixi."
"promise."
"Luo Shixin!" Li Shimin shouted.
"The end will be here."
A majestic, stocky, and ferocious-looking general stepped forward with a clanging ring of armor.
Luo Shixin!?
Xia Yu suddenly looked up and down curiously. This was the prototype of Luo Cheng in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was a real super warrior.
But this look is too different from Qiao Luocheng, right?
The story really fooled me!
Li Shimin threw an order arrow to Luo Shixin: "Tomorrow, you will lead the army as the vanguard. The ancient Xiaohan Road is very dangerous and dangerous, and it is very easy for an ambush. You must be careful."
"No." Luo Shixin accepted the order enthusiastically.
