Since Luo Shixin surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has always followed Li Shimin's lead.
Li Yuanji now regards Luo Shixin as one of his own, which means he intends to bring Luo Shixin into the government.
Li Yuanji wants to take food from Li Shimin. Can Li Shimin agree?
Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, the imperial doctor, and all the guards all stared at Li Yuanji with their mouths open, not knowing what to say.
Li Zhongwen was a little confused at first.
But after seeing the reaction of Su Dingfang and others, they immediately reacted and looked at Li Yuanji with a little more shock.
Seeing that Su Dingfang and others were silent, Li Yuanji guessed what Su Dingfang and others were thinking.
Immediately, Li Yuanji said again: "My idea is very simple. Whoever fights for me, I will treat him as one of my own. You should do the same, because there are not many people who are willing to risk their lives for you and me. If you don't meet someone who is
You and I are unlucky, and we should take great care of them when we encounter them."
What Li Yuanji expressed was very simple. He regarded Luo Shixin as one of his own, and it had nothing to do with position, interests, or power struggles.
It was purely because Luo Shixin was affectionate and righteous to him and was willing to fight for him. He should treat Luo Shixin as one of his own.
When Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang heard this, their expressions shrank slightly and they were in awe.
Li Yuanji's words were upright, upright, and upright. If they thought about other things, they would appear to have some evil intentions.
Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang both bowed, "I understand, I will bear in mind His Highness's teachings."
After saying this, Su Dingfang smiled heartily and said: "From now on, the Duke of Shan will be one of our own. It's not bad to have the Duke as a younger brother."
Xie Shufang glanced at Su Dingfang with a resentful look, "Do you also want to be my brother?"
Su Dingfang raised his head slightly, "In terms of age, am I not your brother?"
Su Dingfang is in his thirties, older than Luo Shixin, who is twenty-eight, and older than Xie Shufang, who is twenty-two.
In terms of age, Su Dingfang can indeed be the elder brother of Luo Shixin and Xie Shufang.
But Xie Shufang doesn’t want to be a younger brother, he is still the younger brother of two people.
Once he recognized Su Dingfang as his brother, wouldn't he also have to recognize Luo Shixin as his brother?
How can that be done?
"If you have the ability, please follow the rules of official rank!"
Xie Shufang shouted at Su Dingfang with his eyes wide open.
Su Dingfang was happy, "Okay, after the class teacher returns to the court, we will follow the rules of official rank."
Xie Shufang was so rebuffed by Su Dingfang that he was speechless and could only stare at Su Dingfang.
Although Xie Shufang's decapitation of Tuli Khan's wolf's head was a great achievement, it was not as good as the head of Liu Heitai in Su Dingfang's hand.
The Tang Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to kill Liu Heitai.
Whoever gets Liu Heita's head will take the lead in this battle.
With Li Yuan's generosity, a prince is indispensable.
Eighty percent of households closed are also above 300 households.
Xie Shufang's only dazzling achievement in this battle was to go deep into the enemy camp and cut off Tuli's wolf's head, which greatly weakened the face of the Turks.
Li Yuan was a man with a good face, and Xie Shufang had such a good face for the Tang Dynasty, so a prince would definitely be indispensable.
But in terms of closing households, it will definitely not reach the level of 300 households.
After all, the number of people in the Tang Dynasty was limited. Although Li Yuan was very generous in conferring titles, he was very strict in conferring households.
Therefore, when the class teacher returns to the court and rewards are given for his merits, Su Dingfang's status may be surpassed by Xie Shufang's.
Li Yuanji watched Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang arguing and smiled knowingly.
Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang were helping him. They were using this kind of joke to declare to others the correctness of what he just said.
Although it may not be useful, he felt the intention.
Li Zhongwen had no intention of interfering in the matter between Li Yuanji and Li Shimin, nor was he qualified to do so. After a brief shock, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, General Luo rushed to Weize Pass in such a hurry, is it because of my Highness?
What kind of accident did you come here to report?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said with some humor: "There really is something unexpected going on at my sister's place. There is no need for General Luo to come and report it, right?"
He has been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, but he has never heard of anyone using the Duke as a trustworthy person.
There are not many people who are qualified to use the government as a trustworthy person, and there are only four of them: him, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Xiuning.
But none of them would do that.
Because doing so is no different from insulting others.
The Tang Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty, and the Duke is not a servant of the royal family. People in the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty must show a certain degree of respect when facing the Duke.
Li Zhongwen was stunned for a while when he heard Li Yuanji's words.
"It was Chenhu who painted it."
Li Zhongwen said with a look of shame.
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing to Li Zhongwen. Instead, he ordered the guards to carry Luo Shixin to the main hall.
The imperial doctor followed closely behind.
After Luo Shixin was properly placed, treatment for Luo Shixin's wounds began immediately.
Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, and Li Zhongwen stayed with them all the time. After the imperial doctor treated Luo Shixin's wounds and clearly told everyone that Luo Shixin was not in danger of dying and that his legs would recover after a period of rest, Su Dingfang and the others left.
Enter the main hall.
The three of them returned to the darker corner again and started drinking.
It's just that the three of them could no longer drink and talk freely like they did at the beginning. Instead, they each held a wine cup and started drinking.
Li Zhongwen drank for a while, shouted, "This wine is boring to drink," and left with a puff of sleeves.
As soon as Li Zhongwen left, Su Dingfang suddenly looked at Xie Shufang, "Has His Highness ever said that he wants to compete for that position?"
Xie Shufang seemed to have expected that Su Dingfang would ask this question, so he was not surprised at all.
Under Su Dingfang's gaze, Xie Shufang shook his head slightly, paused for a while, and then shook his head again.
Su Dingfang frowned and stared at Xie Shufang: "What do you mean?"
Xie Shufang hesitated and said: "His Highness said before that he is not interested in that position..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "So you don't want to argue?"
Xie Shufang glanced at Su Dingfang and said thoughtfully: "But if His Highness is not interested in that position, why would he take the risk of becoming enemies with His Highness the King of Qin and bring Luo Shixin into the palace?"
Su Dingfang raised his brows slightly and said thoughtfully: "You mean, King Qin is likely to inherit that position? If His Highness is not willing to fight for that position, he shouldn't be at odds with King Qin?
Why are you so sure that King Qin can inherit that position?"
Xie Shufang thought for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not very sure, it's just intuition. My intuition tells me that His Highness King Qin has a much greater chance of inheriting that position than His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Dingfang nodded after thinking, and smiled at Xie Shufang: "What you said is a bit rebellious. If the prince finds out, you will be in big trouble."
Xie Shufang glared at Su Dingfang fiercely.
If he didn't regard Su Dingfang as one of his own, he would tell Su Dingfang this.
Su Dingfang seemed not to see Xie Shufang's eyes. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "According to your statement, if His Highness does not compete for that position, it is indeed not appropriate to offend the King of Qin. If His Highness wants to compete for that position,
Then you must fight with King Qin.
But His Highness’s thoughts are a bit unpredictable now.”
Speaking of this, Su Dingfang looked at Xie Shufang, "How about... you go and ask?"
Xie Shufang stared blankly, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Su Dingfang said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? How can we prepare if we don't understand His Highness's thoughts."
Su Dingfang was different from Xie Shufang. He had only joined Datang for a short time, and he did not value or care about Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin that much.
They are not that afraid of the power in the hands of Li Yuan and the others.
After all, more than two months ago, he was still rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. How could he value Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, and how could he be afraid of the power in their hands.
He only values Li Yuanji and cares about Li Yuanji's thoughts.
If Li Yuanji didn't fight for that position, he could safely protect Li Yuanji.
If Li Yuanji wanted to compete for that position, he would compete with Li Yuanji.
The only difference is that if Li Yuanji wants to fight, he and Xie Shufang need to make preparations in advance.
The earlier you prepare, the greater your chances will be.
If you don’t prepare anything and just improvise, then you can only rely on God’s will.
He doesn't like to rely on God's will, he prefers to make plans and act.
Xie Shufang glared at Su Dingfang, "Can we ask this kind of thing? Can we still do things beyond His Highness?"
Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, and then said with waning interest: "That's true."
Xie Shufang looked at Su Dingfang warily and said, "I advise you not to do this nonsense!"
Su Dingfang rolled his eyes at Xie Shufang and said, "Didn't you say that we can't do anything beyond His Highness? What can I do if His Highness doesn't give orders or indicate?"
Uncle Xie nodded doubtfully.
…
In the main hall.
After Su Dingfang and his party left, Li Yuanji taught Luo Shixin, who was lying on the bed, "If you were a knight-errant, you would definitely become a world-renowned hero; if you were an ordinary commoner, you would also become the most beloved hero in the hearts of your neighbors."
People you admire.
But you are a noble man of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the nobles of the Tang Dynasty can also value love and righteousness, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty must pay attention to the limits of love and righteousness.
You have to first look at where you are and also where you stand.
Once the friendship you want to talk about exceeds the scope of what you can bear and the position you are in, you should stop at the cliff.
If you insist on having your own way, you will die.
Do you understand or not?"
Luo Shixin was lying on the bed, unable to say a word, so he could not make any response.
Li Yuanji sighed and said: "If I don't announce in public today that you will be one of my own in my house from now on, I'm afraid you will have no place in the Tang Dynasty."
