Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

In the Taiji Hall, Changsun Wuji looked at Ye Haoran with a proud look on his face!

He is the prime minister of the dynasty and the uncle of the new emperor. He already has great power in the court and the country. Now he is deeply trusted by Li Zhi and controls half of the imperial guards!

Well-deserved, second to none!

The only threat is Ye Haoran, the king of a different surname!

"Lord Changsun, there is no need to be ambiguous. If it is only for military power, I could have commanded the sixteen imperial guards when the late emperor was still alive! Why wait until now! Lord Changsun, do you know how long it has been since there was any news from the Beiting Duhu Mansion?" Ye Haoran asked back!

"I don't know about these military affairs!"

"Then Lord Changsun, do you know how much food and grass the 100,000 defenders consume every day?" Ye Haoran continued to ask!

"this……!"

"Of course Lord Changsun doesn't know! Because Lord Changsun only knows how to fight for power in the court and eliminate dissidents! He only knows how to kowtow and spend the national treasury to pray for peace! But he doesn't know that some wolves can never be fed! It is because of your blindly compromising that the 100,000 defenders of Beiting Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate have become isolated and have been without pay and food for two years! They will think that it is our Tang Dynasty that has abandoned them! What can they rely on to persist!" Ye Haoran's words made Changsun Wuji and his peace faction blush!

"Your Majesty! How many of the 100,000 defenders do you think are left now? Can they help the Tang Dynasty resist the invading enemies from the Western Turks and Tubo?" Ye Haoran turned and asked Li Zhi!

Li Zhi looked at Zhangsun Wuji awkwardly. Seeing that he was silent, he could only comfort him:

"Lord Ye, please be patient! I believe that Lord Ye is wholeheartedly thinking about the Tang Dynasty! Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and I will hold a coronation ceremony! Then I will appoint Lord Ye as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World! He will control all the troops of the country except the sixteen imperial guards!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Changsun Wuji hurried forward!

"Okay! Stop talking! I'm tired!" Li Zhi rubbed his forehead, got up and left!

"Congratulations in advance, Marshal Ye!" Changsun Wuji bowed to Ye Haoran with a forced smile!

"Haha! Lord Changsun's smile is really ugly, you'd better not smile anymore!" Ye Haoran glanced at him and left leisurely!

After leaving the palace and walking on the blue bricks of the imperial city, Ye Haoran stopped. After a while, Li Ji caught up with him and the two walked side by side!

"General Lee has nothing to say to me?"

Li Ji smiled bitterly: "General Ye, what do you think I will say?"

"You're not going to teach me how to be an official, are you? You're going to persuade me to see the situation clearly and make money through harmony?" Ye Haoran teased!

"General Ye, are you mocking me?"

"No, I'm praising you!"

The two men walked to the gate of Suzaku. Ye Haoran looked around but did not see Han Shan, the leader of Qianniu Guards!

"Where is your leader Han Shan?" Ye Haoran asked a guard!

"General Ye, Commander Han has been transferred away from the capital!" the guard answered truthfully!

"Except for Princess Pingyang, most of the other sixteen imperial guards have been reappointed!" Li Ji said calmly!

"A new emperor chooses his own ministers. That's what they say!"

"As a military commander, General Ye's words in front of the emperor are indeed admirable! But... the so-called Grand Marshal of the Army of the World...!"

"It's just the abyss! Your Majesty's thoughts are easy to guess!" Ye Haoran said it without any hesitation!

As we all know, the Tang Dynasty's army is based on the Sixteen Imperial Guards. The equipment and training of the soldiers in various prefectures are very different, and the military pay is paid by each prefecture on its own. The execution of the imperial edict is worrying!

Ye Haoran's title as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World has no power to mobilize the Sixteen Guards, nor can he mobilize the troops of various prefectures! It can be said that he is in name only, but this title forces him to bear the crises of all directions!

"General Ye is so righteous!" Li Ji looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes moistened! As the Minister of War, how could he not know the pros and cons of this!

"Hahaha!" Ye Haoran laughed and left!

The old man is right! I am just a chess piece of the royal family! Let me make the most of this chess piece!

While Ye Haoran was thinking, he somehow came to Yirenju again!
