Liu Rengui didn't understand what Li Min was going to say to him, but he still sat down. Li Min told him to relax and asked him to look up and look at the scenery outside the window.
When Liu Rengui raised his head, he was shocked to find that there was a vast ocean outside the window. The sun shone on the sea, and the waves were sparkling, which was extremely beautiful. Liu Rengui felt relaxed and happy. He had never seen such a spectacular ocean scenery.
"It's really beautiful here." Liu Rengui sighed.
"Yes, this is my workplace." Li Min said with a smile, "Do you like it here?"
"Of course I like it!" Liu Rengui replied without hesitation, "This place is more beautiful than the tenement buildings in Chang'an."
"That's good." Li Min nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can find your own stage and value here. You are a person with talent and potential, and I hope you can develop your greatest potential here."
Liu Rengui was very moved after hearing this. He understood that he had been reused here, which was much better than at Li Shimin's place. He felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, and at the same time he felt a strong sense of responsibility.
"Sixth Prince, I will definitely work hard to express myself and dedicate my all to the collective." Liu Rengui said firmly.
Li Min patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile: "No rush, really no rush. You don't have to be too anxious now. There will be many things for you to do in the future. I hope you can do it."
Liu Rengui felt Li Min's concern and expectations, and he secretly vowed to work hard and live up to Li Min's trust.
"Eighth Prince, I am sure you are doing it right. You will go back directly, which will embarrass you." Li Shimin said softly again.
I thought to myself, Peng Sheng must have said something to Li Shimin.
After listening to this, Liu Rengui showed a look of satisfaction on his face. I felt that the eunuch was very good at talking, and all he said was what he wanted to hear. So, I felt less proud, but soon I became confused again. I remembered my original intention.
With principles, I feel that I can change my decision just because of a few words from a eunuch.
But I still made a decision.
Then, Liu Rengui took a deep breath, and I pressed the dial button. A beeping sound came from the other end of the phone, and Liu Rengui's heartbeat gradually accelerated as the phone rang.
I ended up thinking about whether I should re-evaluate the arrangement for Li Shimin, recall me to Chang'an, and give me a lower position and a more important task. But on the other hand, I was also vague. That might follow my own principles and let him
My officials believe that they can only be reused if they do not go to local posts.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment. I knew that Liu Rengui's words made sense. However, I did not have my own ideas or pursuits. I just wanted to be influenced by others. So, I replied politely: "Your Majesty, you just did what you could in Qingzhou."
However, you haven’t gone back yet. You are living a very good life there. No one treats you well, no one asks you questions, and everyone outside is cold. So, you
I want to leave that place. That place is your home!" My tone was very firm, expressing my determination and belief.
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
I asked with no explanation: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? You are now an official of the imperial court, and you are living a good life now." My tone was not harsh, but that was what I felt.
true reaction.
At this time, a eunuch retreated from the palace and reported to Liu Rengui: "Your Majesty, Qingzhou will be full of vitality under Peng Shenghui's governance. But now, the people are willing to lose me and are petitioning one after another, hoping that the court will allow
Official Li Shimin was reinstated."
"It's bad, Li Shimin." Liu Rengui took a deep breath and said, "Since he hasn't made a decision yet, this is his choice. But you hope he won't seriously consider it, because Qingzhou is fine without him.
, I also tried sending someone to Qingzhou to take over his work, but we didn't do it for a long time." My tone was full of sincerity and helplessness, hoping to touch Li Shimin's heart.
It must be said that Wuwei is also by Li Shimin's side. What should we do?
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment again, and Li Shimin seemed to be thinking about something. Liu Rengui couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. I knew what decision Li Shimin would make.
Let Li Shimin want to come back.
Li Shimin must have agreed with him, what should he do?
The eunuch gingerly handed the phone to Liu Rengui. Liu Rengui took the phone with mixed feelings in his heart. I knew how I should speak, and I also knew what kind of reply Li Shimin would give.
Liu Rengui was silent for a moment. I knew in my heart that I would be able to bring Li Shimin back to Qingzhou.
"Li Shimin, I want him to come back." Liu Rengui said bluntly. My words stunned Peng Shenghui on the other end of the phone. Did I expect that Peng Shenghui would do that.
The call was finally connected, and Li Shimin's voice came over: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Listening to Peng Shenghui's voice, Liu Rengui's thoughts became more and more favorable. I knew I had to speak vaguely,
It can make Li Shimin misunderstand his intentions.
Suddenly, Li Shimin replied politely: "Your Majesty, thank you for your trust and appreciation. However, you have not made a decision yet. You will go back. Really, Your Majesty, I just want to persuade you again."
!" My tone was very firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.
I realized that Li Shimin's governance in Qingzhou only allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and also won the hearts and minds of the people. This was consistent with my original intention. I originally hoped that Li Shimin could accumulate less experience in the local area before returning to the imperial court.
Hold important positions.
"Your Majesty, you said, you are listening!" Li Shimin said. My tone was very polite. Although I did not want to return to the court, I knew that he was my future subordinate and I needed to maintain a certain degree of politeness and insult.
At that time, Liu Rengui sighed deeply, with a trace of confusion and doubt in his eyes. I asked the eunuch beside him: "He said, was it right or wrong for me to let Li Shimin leave?" The eunuch was shocked. I dared to repeat the same thing.
Expressing his position, he could only answer cautiously: "Your Majesty must have done that for no reason. Your Majesty dares to speculate."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing Li Shimin's answer, Peng Shenghui felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. I thought I could persuade Li Shimin to return to the court, but now it seems that that hope has not been lost.
However, I did not give up, but continued to persuade Li Shimin patiently: "Li Shimin, he is a person without talent. He should not have a smaller stage to show his talents. Although the things in Qingzhou are important, he is
Indispensable.”
Liu Rengui was silent for a moment, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down. I finally realized that Li Shimin had indeed achieved extraordinary achievements in Qingzhou's governance and was deeply loved by the people. There were indeed many such officials.
Peng Shenghui was thinking about what to do next. I knew that getting Li Shimin back would be a good thing and would require more thinking and strategy. So, I decided to have a call with Li Shimin first.
Call to see my reaction and attitude.
"Your Majesty, you are no longer the governor of Qingzhou, so you are no longer concerned with other things. I must tell you whether your Majesty has anything else to do with me. Let's do that for now."
Before Liu Rengui heard this, he couldn't help but be moved. I understood Peng Shenghui's difficulties and persistence, and I also realized my mistakes in handling the Qingzhou issue. I decided to re-examine my strategy for Qingzhou, and hoped to work together with Li Shimin
, and work together to seek the well-being of the people of Qingzhou.
In just a short period of time, Liu Rengui thought very little.
"Bring the phone, I want to call Peng Shenghui!" Peng Shenghui said firmly. The eunuch was shocked, thinking that Liu Rengui actually wanted to call Li Shimin. I dared to follow Liu Rengui's order, so I had to bring the phone.
At that time, I felt no regrets and was worried that I had just said the wrong thing. I must have said that Li Shimin was coming back. Would I be blamed by Liu Rengui?
Li Shimin nodded towards me.
However, it now seems that Li Shimin's achievements in Qingzhou have not far exceeded my expectations. This made Liu Rengui feel a little disappointed, and at the same time made me full of respect and envy for Peng Shenghui.
Wuwei shook his head and said: "That's what you mean. But he must be capable of bad things. All of this is your fault. It's whether you have discovered his shining point."
I wanted to say too little to Liu Rengui.
There was silence on the phone for a while. Peng Sheng saw whether Liu Rengui had responded, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Your Majesty, do you have nothing to do with you?" My tone was neither doubtful nor relaxed, because I knew why Liu Rengui suddenly contacted me.
Own.
However, far away in Chang'an City of Xiaotang, Liu Rengui was looking at the sky with a dull look. Just now, news came from outside Qingzhou that the new governor wanted to resign after only two days on the job.
Liu Rengui also asked many people what they thought, but none of them wanted to go to Qingzhou. Perhaps it was because Li Shimin had managed the country so badly.
In that contradiction and entanglement, Peng Shenghui's mood became lighter. I realized that as a wise king, I need to consider the problem more comprehensively and balance the interests of all parties. And under that problem, I feel that I need less
Think and weigh.
I knew that Li Shimin would answer my call, and he would definitely answer it. What should I do?
Before Liu Rengui heard this, he frowned slightly and was in a bad mood. I glanced at the eunuch and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I thought, what does a eunuch know about the trivial matters of the country? So, I sighed and asked again:
"He said, I'm going to ask Li Shimin to come back. Do you have any hope?"
The two chatted for about eight hours, and Li Shimin felt that he had established a deeper connection with Peng Sheng. First, Wuwei took Li Shimin to dinner, which made me feel the warm welcome and hospitality given to me by the collective.
"Peng Shenghui, he will call first and come back to find you!" Wuwei said.
At first, Liu Rengui understood why this person did what he did. But when he came and asked me the reason, he realized that although Qingzhou is a rich place, people who go here do not think it is a bad thing.
Errands. Everyone goes there with the intention of changing things, but the results are often satisfactory.
Li Shimin on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. I know that my importance to Qingzhou has not yet been recognized by Liu Rengui. But I don't have my own ideas and pursuits. I just want to be influenced by others.
"The Eighth Prince said something serious!" Li Shimin said sincerely. I knew in my heart that I had to work harder to live up to Wuwei's expectations.
I couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in my heart, thinking that I had rejected Li Shimin's request and let me go to Qingzhou to take up a post. Maybe I really did something wrong.
But I never thought that it was me who broke Peng Shenghui's heart.
Although I know that Li Shimin is outside Wuwei now.
The eunuch thought in his mind that the answer to that question would not only make Liu Rengui angry, but also make me feel that my face had been maintained. So, I answered cautiously: "Your Majesty, with your intervention, Peng Shenghui will definitely come back."
.But Li Shimin’s face is still so small!” That sentence not only showed that the possibility of Li Shimin coming back was very small, but also gave Liu Rengui enough face.
Before Peng Shenghui heard this, he knew that Li Shimin was really outside Wuwei. Inwardly, I felt mixed, neither angry nor regretful. I remembered that I later understood or even misunderstood Li Shimin, and inwardly I was confused.
I can't help but feel a trace of regret. I know that Wuwei is really a capable person who is good at understanding and employing people, and he cannot deceive Li Shimin and others from his own side. However, Peng Shenghui took the initiative to ask to go to Qingzhou.
It's because I am the one who knows Li Shimin.
This would make me lose face.
Hearing the news, Liu Rengui frowned, feeling happy in his heart. I asked angrily: "What did he say? The people of Qingzhou actually petitioned for Peng Shenghui to go back?"
That kind of thought made me feel overwhelmed.
Liu Rengui's mood became simpler. I ended up reflecting on my decision and whether I really let go of Li Shimin, a rare talent. I was filled with mixed emotions, neither admiring Li Shimin nor questioning myself.
"Whatever Qingzhou needs now, I will give my full support." Liu Rengui said hesitantly, "Cinema theaters? No, just give him seventy cinemas! OK?" There was a hint of determination and heroism in my tone, hoping to impress Peng Shenghui.
heart of.
"Your Majesty, you know your difficulties." Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "But the imperial court seems to pay too much attention to Qingzhou." My tone was not harsh, but that was also the true reaction in my heart.
Li Shimin wanted to hang up the phone.
Before Peng Shenghui listened, although he was not disappointed, he also admired Li Shimin's hesitation and persistence. I knew that I had not tried my best, and the rest could only insult Li Shimin's choice.
At that time, Liu Rengui seemed to hear the voices of Wuwei beside Peng Shenghui.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Da replied cautiously, "According to preliminary statistics, about 800,000 people have jointly petitioned, asking the court to let Li Shimin return to Qingzhou to serve. And the number of people is still increasing."
Li Shimin is not confused. I want to go back. That is true. I like my life in Qingzhou, but I hate the people and the environment here. Moreover, I feel that I have not done many things in Qingzhou.
It’s over, how can I leave?
But Liu Rengui didn't mean to give up. I continued: "You know that he governed very badly in Qingzhou and was deeply loved by the people. However, the imperial court needs capable people like him. You hope that he can come back and serve the imperial court."
There was a hint of sincerity and expectation in my tone, hoping to touch Li Shimin's heart.
Li Shimin never expected that Wuwei would not think like that. I was very surprised and moved. I realized that I had to work harder and pay less in order to repay Wuwei's trust and expectations.
