Chapter 85 Li Shimin left Taiyuan

In the study of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Wei Ting sat opposite each other while drinking tea. Wei Ting was dismissed from his post, but now he was re-selected by Li Jiancheng as an official. In order to take into account Chen Ying's feelings, Wei Ting did not enter the East Palace at this time, but became the left-handed captain.

Shiyi - Literally means picking up the emperor's omissions (policy mistakes), and it is also a consulting and advising official, equivalent to a contemporary supervisor and assistant agency. Shiyi is an official position of the eighth rank. This is a person who is placed in Chang'an, and any official is picked up or even the chief officer (warning officer) of Wei Ting.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if the official is big or small. If the official is in the heart of the emperor, then even if it is a small or small official, you can still take on the main role. If the emperor doesn’t like it, even if he is in the second-rank rank sermon or the first-rank sermon, it will be the same.

Just like now, although Wei Ting is a 8th-rank official and does not even have the qualifications to wear green official uniforms, he has a good personal relationship with Li Jiancheng, so he can sit against Li Jiancheng in Li Jiancheng's study.

Wei Ting looked at Li Jiancheng and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must not let Your Highness the King of Qin leave Liangzhou."

Li Jiancheng looked calm: "I know Erlang, he won't have that kind of thought... Chen Ying is now his third brother-in-law, and we are now a family."

Wei Ting shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the King of Qin may not have such thoughts at this moment. The King of Qin may consider General Chen as a close relative. However, the people around the King of Qin, those who are counting on the King of Qin to bring wealth and honor to them and their family, may not have such thoughts... General Chen cannot be misunderstood. Once General Chen has any problems, it is equivalent to breaking His Highness's arm."

Li Jiancheng said in confusion: "Are you talking about Changsun Wuji?"

"Yes, it's that fat man, it's a ghost!" Wei Ting tapped the table with his hand and said, "Since the defeat in Luoyang, Changsun Shunde was dismissed from his official position by His Majesty. Now he is only a Guanglu doctor with no position or power. Now the King of Qin is the only hope of Changsun. Even if Changsun Wuji is concerned about His Royal Highness, Changsun Wuji is not alone. Luoyang Changsun is also considered a descendant of the Guanlong nobles. Many people in the court have seen the interests of Changsun. Now General Chen has blocked the wealth of many Guanlong nobles."

Li Jiancheng shook his head: "Unbelievable!"

Wei Ting smiled and said, "No matter what, even if there is only a slight possibility, Your Highness will not give him this opportunity to guard Liangzhou. It is too easy to block General Chen's neck. I have a hundred different ways, so that the court cannot make any mistakes. By the way, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you must be wary of His Highness the King of Qin using a knife to kill people!"

"Borrowing a knife to kill people?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled: "What is the use of a knife to kill people?"

Wei Ting smiled bitterly and said, "Don't your Highness the Crown Prince feel that General Chen has made too much contribution? He will destroy more than 200,000 elite Western Turks in one battle. Looking at the world, who dares to compete with General Chen?"

Li Jiancheng nodded deeply.

Wei Ting pointed to the top: "God's will is hard to predict, and no one knows what the emperor is thinking now. Your Majesty posthumously conferred General Chen's parents, but he only did not mention the reward of General Chen. There was no news in the court, so there was a big problem!"

This is also something that Li Jiancheng didn't understand. When the results of the Liangzhou Battle were spread to Chang'an, especially important prisoners such as Ashina Nishu were taken to Chang'an. Like Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang, even Duan Zhigan, who had not visited the front line, rewarded 200 households with his merits, but he did not mention Chen Ying.

A minister who made such great contributions without rewarding them was nothing more than two outcomes. He was rewarded with official titles, but in fact, neither official nor titles could be rewarded anymore. There was no one of the three provinces and six ministries, and all the high-level official positions could be suitable for Chen Ying. However, he was already a Duke of the State and could not reward him again.

For the heroes who are not rewarded, the past example was to kill them on false charges.

The key is that Li Yuan has a criminal record in this matter.

Liu Wenjing's death was because of his concubine's false accusation. If it were placed on ordinary ministers, it would be nothing more than a few words of reprimands, or a salary fine, which would be a great way to take his fief.

But Li Yuan killed Liu Wenjing with Pei Ji's vague words.

Of course, Liu Wenjing was sitting in a crooked but Chen Ying was not sitting in a straight position now!

After a long time, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Actually, I also vaguely felt that my father was a little afraid of Chen Ying, otherwise he would not have known that Chen Ying was incompatible with Shimin, but instead let the King of Qin leave Liangzhou."

Wei Ting said: "Who said it was not? The King of Qin sent several confidants to intercept General Chen's cavalry. As long as the news of communication was cut off for several months, he falsely accused General Chen of proclaiming himself king in the Western Regions. How could His Majesty deal with it?"

Li Jiancheng was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Wei Ting said: "Liangzhou is the place where the Western Regions are locked, and it is an important direction for military use in the future. It is better to prepare for the establishment of the Shangshu of Xingtai. It is better to write to His Majesty the Prince to prepare for the establishment of the Xingtai of Xihedao, and use His Highness the King of Qin as the Shangshu of Xihedao, and then order His Highness the King of Qi to go out to seize Liangzhou!"

Li Jiancheng had a plan in his mind. The Secretary of the Xihedao Xingtai meant that Li Shimin became Chen Ying's immediate superior, but with Chen Ying's temper and Chen Ying's prestige in the army, he would not be worried that Li Shimin could seize Chen Ying's military power.

The only drawback is Chen Ying's credit, and Li Shimin will share some of it.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "The two evils are more serious than that, now this is the only way to do it."

...

In the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Li Shimin cried to Li Xiuning with red eyes, saying that he was really crying. Li Shimin thought about it and now there is no one in the entire court who can help him, and who is willing to help him, and who has the ability to help him, is the only one who is Li Xiuning.

Although Li Xiuning appears to have no influence in the court on the surface, don’t forget that Li Xiuning’s real strength is that she almost defeated two-thirds of Guanzhong’s territory alone. Among the forty-four counties in Guanzhong, there are as many local officials belonging to Li Xiuning.

What's more, because Li Yuan felt guilty towards Li Xiuning and Li Xiuning had no desires and demands, Li Yuan always felt that he owed Li Xiuning. So as long as Li Xiuning spoke, Li Yuan had a great possibility of agreeing with Li Xiuning's proposal.

Li Shimin knew that there was only one way to impress Li Xiuning.

The very simple way is to cry.

When Li Shimin was young, he was very naughty and a troublemaker who was hated by gods and ghosts. Once he caused trouble, Empress Taimu was a family law. In order to avoid being beaten, Li Shimin usually howled and cried in front of Li Xiuning. As long as Li Xiuning was soft-hearted and pleaded for him in front of Empress Taimu, he would suffer less flesh and blood.

Of course, since Empress Taimu passed away, Li Shimin stopped crying. After thinking for a long time, he felt that Li Shimin couldn't cry and was secretly anxious.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Changsun Wugui took his maid to serve tea with Li Xiuning, Li Shimin secretly poked a finger on his tear gland.

Li Shimin's finger was very strong, and tears and snot flowed downwards at that time.

Li Xiuning turned her head, looked at Li Shimin's snot and tears flowing, and said in confusion: "Erlang, how are you making a fuss?"

Li Shimin choked up and in order to prevent the redness and swelling on his face from being seen by Li Xiuning, he held his sleeve to cover his face: "San Sister, Erlang is so bitter!"

Li Xiuning was inexplicably surprised. Seeing Changsun Wugui's unstoppable look, Li Shimin was very anxious. The key to whether he could recover now was all on Li Xiuning. If he had missed the problem, this recovery would be indefinitely long.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin's tears, like springs, and it was coming out from time to time. She knew that Li Shimin loved to cry when she was a child, but after she was ten years old, she seemed to become stronger. She vaguely remembered that Li Shimin never cried again. Li Xiuning was soft-hearted by Li Shimin's cry: "Erlang, don't cry, the third sister is the decision for you!"

When Li Shimin saw Li Xiuning's appearance, he felt very proud. He howled and cried, and choked and said, "San Sister, Erlang is so miserable. Third Sister... I used to be so generous. Erlang made any mistakes, and I will take care of them for me!"

Li Shimin's words can be regarded as a way to Li Xiuning's heart. Li Jiancheng is the eldest brother, and he does have the style of an elder brother. Especially when he was a child, whether Li Shimin made a mistake or Li Yuanji made a mistake, the eldest brother Li Jiancheng was a member of the fight.

Like Li Shimin was punished to kneel on the ancestral hall, Li Jiancheng often brought food to Li Shimin secretly, for fear that he would be hungry.

Li Xiuning thought about it carefully and it seemed that she hadn't seen Li Jiancheng for several months.

"... But I don't know which bastard is a smoky bastard who turned black and white in front of his elder brother and said that I want to steal the position of prince." Li Shimin secretly looked at Li Xiuning's expression and cried: "Three sister, don't you know me yet? Whether it is the legitimate or the eldest son, or the wise, what is the turn to be my turn? My willingness since I was a child is to lead a 100,000 army to defeat the Turks like the champion. I just want to fight, just ride on a horse, charge in the rain of arrows, and be surprised at the feeling of being so popular in the battlefield. But my elder brother suspected that I had a strange intention... Now I want my elder brother to target me everywhere, I want to rescue Liangzhou and help Daozong. My elder brother suspected that I had ulterior motives and recommended my third brother-in-law to Liangzhou. That's all, my third brother-in-law is indeed better than me in war. Now I trapped me in Chang'an City and couldn't move. I want to suffocate me to death!"

Li Xiuning was initially suspicious of Li Shimin's bad intentions. But seeing Li Shimin crying like a child, her compassion immediately became unfair.

Li Xiuning said: "We are four brothers and sisters, one mother and a compatriot. If you have any misunderstandings, just say it. I found time and called my elder brother and fourth brother. Let's open the words together, and nothing will happen after the conversation."

Li Shimin still howled and cried: "Sister Three, I don't want to stay in Chang'an. I want to go to Liangzhou. Even if I become a captain in the country, even a brigade commander will be successful. If I stay in Chang'an, I will be crazy. Please help me with my third sister!"

Li Xiuning thought about it, but in the end he still didn't fully believe Li Shimin's words. Liangzhou was related to Chen Ying's lifeline and how much family affection the royal family still had. Li Xiuning realized Li Yuan's indifferent affection and did not dare to fully believe Li Shimin.

For Li Xiuning, his younger brother is important, but Chen Ying is equally important.

Before her child could see her father, if something happened to Chen Ying, she would regret it for life.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiuning said, "Let's do this, the Turkic people in Taiyuan are also ready to move. You go to Taiyuan, don't mess around like the Sanhu. I'll find some time to talk to my father!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. Taiyuan is so good. Taiyuan is not only the place where Li Yuan started his career, but also the place where Li Shimin rose. In front of Yanmen Pass, the 16-year-old Li Shimin led his army to fight for the first time. Li Shimin was never afraid of the Turks.

Now the Western Turks have been destroyed by 200,000 troops, and even if they provoke the Turks, they will not fight easily.

Li Shimin thought to himself that as long as he chooses the opportunity to fight, there will be many achievements, and then the day will be ready to recover!

Li Xiuning comforted Li Shimin for half an hour.

Li Shimin is worthy of being an acting master. Although he has not completely deceived Li Xiuning, he at least made Li Xiuning believe it by eight points.

Soon Li Xiuning suggested to Li Yuan that Li Shimin would be allowed to leave Taiyuan.

In fact, this node was chosen very well. Li Yuan did not want Li Shimin to lose the strength to compete with Li Jiancheng, so he followed the situation and issued an order to call Chen Ying the Zuo Pushe, the Minister of Xingtai of Xihedao, and serve as the guardian of the Western Regions.

At the same time, Li Yuanji replaced Li Daozong and became the new Liangzhou general manager.
