Li Er's words were simple and straightforward. Fang Jun didn't hide anything and asked directly,"I wonder what Your Majesty means by battle-worthy strength?”
"This is your business."
Li Er looked at him mockingly.”
Although the premise he said seemed simple, it was actually a bottomless pit. Under his gaze, Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui, who originally wanted to remind Fang Jun, quickly shut their mouths.
Fang Jun scratched his head.
Li Er's statement could be lenient or severe.
The most important thing was that the final decision-making power was tightly held in Li Er's hands. If he felt that the combat strength of the three thousand people after training was not enough, then everything he did would be useless.
Although he knew that Li Er was deliberately making things difficult for him, in order to pursue happiness, Fang Jun still nodded and said,"I understand."
"Don't call me a commoner in the future.”
Li Er waved his hand and said," It's annoying just listening to it. Those three thousand people will be divided into you. They will be a single entity and will not be controlled by any guard or yamen. They will directly listen to me. In the future, they will be called the Dragon Slaying Guards. It means 'all dragons in the world can be slaughtered!'"”
"Your Majesty!"
"You mustn't!"
Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin's expressions changed drastically. Even Fang Xuanling was anxious and wanted Li Er to retract his order.
What did he mean by all the dragons in the world could be slaughtered?
Who didn't know that Li Er was the current Five-clawed Golden Dragon? Did that mean that once the Dragon Slaying Guards were established, they could even kill him, the emperor? Just the name of this guard station was a huge taboo!
"Why don't we change the name?"
Fang Jun smiled awkwardly. He also felt that this name was inappropriate.
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?”
Li Er snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with the majesty of looking down on the world. He glanced at the two prime ministers and the founding general and said in a deep voice,
"The Dragon Slaying Guards haven't even been established yet, and you're already afraid? Look at you now, how are you still like the important officials of the Great Tang! Moreover, if the Dragon Slaying Guards really become strong, then this one will acknowledge Fang Jun as the prince consort. He is this one's own family, can he still raise his blade to slash at his own family?”
F * ck, Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat. Li Er's ability to win over people's hearts was truly at the peak of perfection. With just a few words, he had blocked the most dangerous and fatal weakness.
"Fang Jun, listen up!"
Li Er stared at him and said," From today onwards, I order you to form the Dragon Slaying Guard. There will be 3,000 guards. You will take the position of Dragon Son-in-law General. All matters of the Dragon Slaying Guard will be handed over to you to handle!”
"General Longxu?"
Fang Jun was startled. Why hadn't he heard of such a military rank in the Great Tang? He cautiously asked,"Your Majesty, what grade is this?"
"No class," Li Er said expressionlessly.”
————————
It was the 18th day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival had just passed. There were no clouds in the afternoon, and the sun was warm and comfortable.
After bidding farewell to Li Er, Fang Jun walked out of Taiji Palace. Just as he stretched, a hand suddenly wrapped around his shoulder from behind. The person who had caused this hand laughed and said,
"Fang clan's Erlang, I didn't expect you to have such a backbone. You actually dared to chase after Princess Chang Le. Work hard and don't let us down. Work harder and let the most precious flower in the palace be planted on a pile of cow dung like you!”
"Uncle Cheng, your analogy is too inappropriate!”
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and looked at the smiling Cheng Yaojin. He first pouted his lips in annoyance, then his expression became serious and he bowed to Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin."Uncle Cheng and Uncle Du's help is unforgettable.”
"Pa!"
Cheng Yaojin snorted and slapped the back of his head. He glared at him and said,"Do I need you to remember me until you die? Remember, if there are any benefits in the future, don't forget my Cheng family and the Du family!”
"Yes, I am."
Du Ruhui smiled and said,"Don't come if you're weak."”
Fang Jun smiled embarrassedly and quickly agreed. Seeing Du He and Cheng Huai Mo winking at the side, he quickly gave them a reassuring look. These two best friends had put in a lot of effort in the hall just now, so no matter what, they would not forget them.
"Fang Jun ah, don't think that the emperor's premise looks simple, there are actually many ways to go about it.”
Cheng Yaojin suddenly changed the topic, patted Fang Jun's shoulder and sighed,"Let's just talk about one thing. I didn't say where I'll give you these three thousand men. It won't be easy to transfer soldiers from other guard stations.”
"I understand."
Fang Jun nodded.
In fact, he did not plan to transfer the soldiers from the various police stations in Chang 'an. Those soldiers had been on duty for a long time, and they were all experienced. They would not be as easy to use as the new recruits.
"In addition, you must be careful of the Empress!”
Cheng Yaojin looked around vigilantly. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he whispered into his ear.
