"Li Yi has been a member of the family for generations and has been in Youzhou for many years. No one can challenge his position. He has deep abilities and thoughts. If you associate with him, you will inevitably be plotted by him.
This time you took advantage of him, and when he needs your help, you won't be able to refuse.
If he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then there is nothing wrong with you helping him when he is in danger.
But if he has any objections and you get too involved with him, you can easily get into trouble."
Li Xiuning told Li Yuanji sincerely.
Li Yuanji could see that Li Xiuning said this to him for his own good, so he followed his advice and said, "I understand what sister said. I will have less contact with Li Yi in the future."
Li Xiuning nodded with satisfaction, and said a little embarrassedly: "This time, I was willful and insisted on running to Shizhou to take charge of the overall situation. I left you alone in Weize Pass, which caused you to be killed by Turks and people."
Liu Heitai attacked from a flank and almost lost his life.
Fortunately, your ability has improved, and you not only defended Weize Pass, but also made great achievements.
It’s my sister who can’t help you.”
Li Xiuning has always been frank in front of her family.
If there is a mistake, it is a mistake. She will not refuse to admit her mistake based on her status or age.
Of course, this is just her thinking that she is at fault.
She felt that she, as a sister, failed to take good care of Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji almost lost his life.
Li Yuanji didn't think she had done anything wrong.
He is not a child and needs to be taken care of like a baby.
"Sister, what are you talking about? We are brothers and sisters. How can you feel sorry for me?"
Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Li Xiuning also had a bright smile on her face. She used to think that Li Yuanji was the most difficult to get along with among her brothers and sisters, but now she suddenly felt that Li Yuanji seemed to be the easiest to get along with among her brothers and sisters.
It's just a bit wasteful.
I heard from the craftsmen in the pass that the iron stock in the pass has been taken over by the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and even some of the remnants of soldiers and armor collected in the pass have been taken over by the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But what does that matter?
"This time you defended Weize Pass, repelled the Turks, and beheaded Liu Heita. You really shocked me and my generals. I believe everyone in the world will be shocked as well.
I don’t think anyone will dare to say anything wrong about you in the future."
Li Xiuning said proudly and arrogantly.
There are four brothers and sisters. There used to be a loser, but now they are not inferior to others. She has the capital to be proud.
As Li Yuan's only legitimate daughter, she also has the power to be arrogant.
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Sister A is right."
Li Xiuning asked some more details about the war at Wei Zeguan, and Li Yuanji answered all questions.
After chatting about the details of the Weizeguan battle, Li Xiuning suddenly asked: "What do you think of Li Zhongwen?"
Li Yuanji was slightly stunned, not understanding what Li Xiuning meant. Does Li Xiuning want to reuse Li Zhongwen, or does he want to give Li Zhongwen to him?
Li Yuanji thought about it and said: "It's quite satisfactory."
Although Li Zhongwen's status is high, his abilities are more than adequate than those above him.
Li Xiuning nodded and said, "Then I will hand Weize Pass over to Li Zhongwen, what do you think?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiuning suspiciously.
Li Xiuning wants to hand over Weize Pass to Li Zhongwen, what will she do?
Li Xiuning seemed to see the doubts in Li Yuanji's heart, and said sadly: "I have been guarding Weizeguan for four years, and it's time for me to go back to Chang'an City to take a look.
Zhewei and Lingwu haven't seen me for a long time.
If I don’t go back, they may have forgotten what I look like.”
When it came to the last words, Li Xiuning had a bitter look on her face.
There is a price to pay for being a world-famous strange woman, a third wife.
The price she paid was that her children could not see her as a mother.
When Li Yuanji heard what Li Xiuning said, he was slightly moved and sighed, "It's time to go back and take a look."
Li Xiuning suddenly smiled and said to Li Yuanji: "I promised to join forces with you before, I have to go back and help you."
Li Yuanji was stunned.
Li Xiuning's political sense is quite keen.
She could actually smell that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were about to start a fierce fight.
According to history, after the Tang Dynasty conquered Liu Heita and Fu Gongyou, the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin began to escalate rapidly, and finally reached the point of breaking out.
"With sister helping me, I feel relieved."
Li Yuanji said with a cheerful smile.
The soldiers, horses, bravery, and counselors in the house are barely enough.
Even if there were great changes in Chang'an City and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin met at war, he could still deal with it calmly.
With Li Xiuning's help, self-protection shouldn't be a problem.
Shouldn't we plan more?
Li Yuanji smiled and pondered in his heart.
Li Xiuning secretly approached Li Yuanji like a thief and whispered: "Uncle Shen Tong will also help us when necessary."
Did Li Xiuning convince Li Shentong to board his pirate ship?
Although Li Shentong has average abilities, his status is very high.
Li Shentong was of the same generation as Li Yuan, and was highly valued by Li Yuan. He served as Zong Zhengqing in the court and was in charge of all the clans.
Li Shentong's attitude also represents to a large extent the attitude of the side branches of the Li family.
With Li Shentong's help, his "neutral self-preservation alliance" will be even more stable.
After all, it is this group of people who support Li Tang the most.
No matter who was the emperor in Li Tang, he could not ignore the attitude of this group of people.
If you want to ignore this group of people, you will firmly grasp all the power in the Tang Dynasty.
The problem is that the authority in the Tang Dynasty is now quite dispersed.
Therefore, no matter who becomes the emperor, there is no way to ignore this group of people.
"Sister actually convinced Uncle Shen Tong?"
Li Yuanji has accidents and surprises.
He found the right ally in Li Xiuning.
Not only is his outstanding ability, it can also help him attract more and more beneficial allies.
"It's not about persuasion, it's just that our thoughts are in line with uncle's."
Li Xiuning said with a smile.
As the most noble group of people in the Tang Dynasty, no one likes internal fighting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Internal fighting means taking sides, and taking sides means that a group of people will completely dissipate.
No one can guarantee that they will be able to stand on the right team, so no one is willing to take risks.
They are already the most noble group of people in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to supreme power, everything else is at their fingertips.
There is no need for them to fight among themselves or take risks.
"My sister is still awesome."
Li Yuanji praised without hesitation.
Although Li Xiuning said that she had not convinced Li Shentong, if she had not tried her best to negotiate with Li Shentong, Li Shentong would not have dared to give her an accurate word.
Therefore, she must have made great efforts in this matter.
"Okay, don't praise me anymore. Wei Zeguan was beaten to pieces in this battle, and the soldiers suffered a lot of damage. Most of them followed me from the pass.
I'll go see them and reorganize Weize Pass."
Li Xiuning slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "Sister, why don't you keep He Panren or Xiang Shanzhi, or send Ma Sanbao here to guard Weize Pass? Why do you want Li Zhongwen to guard Weize Pass?"
Ma Sanbao used to be Chai Shao's stable boy, but later he followed Li Xiuning.
He is regarded as the number one confidant under Li Xiuning. He is clever, cunning and resourceful. He Panren was the one who persuaded Li Xiuning to be demoted. His ability is quite outstanding.
Now he has been transferred to the palace of the prince to serve as the prince's minister.
It is obviously more appropriate for him to take charge of Weizeguan than Li Zhongwen.
He Panren and Xiang Shanzhi are not weak in ability. Although they are not as good as Ma Sanbao, they are better than Li Zhongwen. If they sit in Weizeguan, they will definitely be better than Li Zhongwen.
Li Yuanji didn't understand why Li Xiuning didn't choose the best one, but instead chose the worst one.
Li Xiuning paused and said without any concealment: "Li Zhongwen's mind is too complex and needs to be tempered. It is also for his own good to let him stay at Weize Pass."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.
According to Li Xiuning, after Li Zhongwen follows them back to Chang'an, he may not be loyal to help them. It is very likely that he will fall to Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin under the sugar-coated bullets of Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin.
Didn't see it.
Li Zhongwen is actually this kind of person?!
Li Yuanji spent far less time with Li Zhongwen than Li Xiuning spent with Li Zhongwen, so he had no doubt about Li Xiuning's judgment of Li Zhongwen.
…
After Li Xiuning left, Li Yuanji did not sleep again. After getting up and washing up, he simply ate something, went to the 'ward' to visit Xue Wanche, and appointed Xue Wanche on the spot as the deputy commander of Zuosan Tongjun Mansion of Prince Qi's Mansion.
.
He also appointed Xue Wanshu, who was guarding Xue Wanche, to temporarily take over the position of commander of the second right army in the palace, and concurrently served as Zuocheng of Daxingtai, Xiangnan Road.
This is the limit that Li Yuanji can appoint. No matter how high it is, it must be approved by Li Yuan and discussed by the ministers.
After all, the higher-up positions play a decisive role in both the government and the public.
If he appoints someone privately, he will definitely be criticized and impeached.
He had just made great achievements and asked Li Yuan to give Xue Wanshu a higher position. Li Yuan would not refuse, so there was no need to rush to scold him.
After all, some elderly officials still have a lot of firepower. When they get the upper hand, Li Yuan dares to criticize them, but Li Yuan still loses his temper with them.
After appointing the Xue brothers, Li Yuanji also made certain allocations to the people brought by the Xue brothers.
In addition to the subordinates and cronies of the Xue brothers, the rest followed the old rules of the Tongjunfu. A group of people competed for positions in the four Tongjunfus where the Xue brothers served: the first on the left, the third on the left, the first on the right, and the second on the right.
.
The first one on the left and the Third Army Mansion on the Left suffered considerable losses after experiencing the battle at Weizeguan, and there was enough space to accommodate them.
The remaining ones were incorporated into the Tongjunfu camp and waited for opportunities to take up posts.
Li Yuanji doesn't need to worry about how to operate it specifically.
Ma Zhou, Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang and others will handle all the errands and documents properly.
In the following days, Li Yuanji worked as a salted fish in Weize Pass until the reward decree and documents from Chang'an City were delivered to Weize Pass...
