The chief and deputy envoys who announced the reward were still in Qinzhou, and the news about the reward reached Weize Pass.
Li Yuanji had just dealt with the people sent by Qu Tutong to negotiate at Weize Pass when Yu Wenbao burst into the main hall of Guan Yamen happily. After curtly saluting, he excitedly reported to Li Yuanji.
"Your Highness, the reward from the imperial court has been received, and the chief and deputy envoys to announce the reward have arrived in Qinzhou. Your Highness has been canonized as General Zhen Yao, and the number of households increased by 10,000, which is already on par with His Highness the King of Qin."
The more Yu Wenbao spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was the one who was canonized as General Zhenyao. Li Yuanji stared in shock, "What did you say?" Li Yuanji couldn't believe his ears.
Yu Wenbao repeated excitedly, "I said that His Highness has been canonized as General Zhenyao, and the number of households has been increased to the point where he is on par with His Highness the King of Qin."
Li Yuanji opened his mouth and sat behind the long desk in a daze, not knowing what to say.
As expected, Li Yuan went back on his word and was unwilling to fulfill his promise. He passed the crown prince's position to Li Shimin, conferred him a title, and let him climb to a position on par with Li Shimin, just so that he could fight with Li Shimin when Li Shimin made trouble. , went to make an appointment with Li Shimin.
Although he knew that Li Yuan would regret it when he left the capital, was Li Yuan too impatient? Can't he wait until they return to the capital before doing such a thing again? Can't Li Yuan see that Li Shimin now has tens of thousands of troops? ?
Can't you see that Li Shimin, as the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition, sent soldiers and horses to the capital of Shaanxi Province, Hebei Province, Taiyuanfu Southeast Road, and even Xiangnan Road?
At this time, Li Yuan breaks his promise and plays tricks on Li Shimin again. Isn't he afraid that Li Shimin will cause a split in anger?
Aren't you afraid that Li Shimin will recruit troops from all walks of life, fight back to Chang'an City under the banner of Qingjun, and ask him to be the Supreme Emperor?
"Your Highness? Your Highness?!"
When Yu Wenbao saw Li Yuanji sitting there without saying a word for a long time, he thought that Li Yuanji was extremely excited, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Although it was Li Yuanji, not him, who was named General Zhen Yao, he was Li Yuanji's subordinate official. As Li Yuanji's status was elevated, his status was also elevated. Of course he was happy.
The Way is when one person attains the Way, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, that's how it works.
Li Yuanji came to his senses under Yu Wenbao's call, took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and ordered: "Go and find my sister."
Yu Wenbao was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Your Highness, you want to share this good news with Your Highness the Princess?"
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao fiercely and said angrily: "How did you see that this is good news?"
The smile on Yu Wenbao's face froze, and he stared at Li Yuanji blankly, a little confused. Li Yuanji did not explain much, and once again ordered Yu Wenbao to find Li Xiuning.
This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly to Yu Wenbao, because there are some things that are not convenient for Yu Wenbao to know. For example, Li Yuan privately promised Li Shimin the crown prince position.
Only Li Yuan and Li Shimin knew about this matter, and Li Shimin didn't publicize it to him. Li Yuan wanted to regret it from the moment he made his promise, and it was impossible to publicize it everywhere and follow the truth.
Li Yuanji only guessed based on history, and it is not convenient to tell others.
Not long after Yu Wenbao left, he took Li Xiuning back to Guanyanei.
Li Xiuning's face didn't look good either. He had obviously received the news about the reward. "Sister, did you get the news too?" Li Yuanji took the initiative to greet Li Xiuning after he arrived.
Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and nodded, but did not speak.
Li Yuanji immediately ordered Yu Wenbao to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter.
As soon as Yu Wenbao left, Li Xiuning immediately said, "What do you mean by father? Do you want to create a gap between you and Erlang, and force you to fight with Erlang?"
Li Xiuning didn't know that Li Yuan secretly promised the crown prince position to Li Shimin in order to allow Li Shimin to go to war. She only thought that Li Yuan specifically supported Li Yuanji in order to suppress Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji sighed and nodded. Although the meaning was a little off, the purpose was similar.
Li Xiuning frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "How could father do this?!" Li Yuanji looked helpless. Why did Li Yuan do this?
It was not because Li Yuan had gained weight because he broke his promise, but he was also afraid that Li Shimin would make trouble, and he had no face to face it, so he wanted to transfer the conflict out of the way early.
"What are you going to do?" Li Xiuning stared at Li Yuanji and asked.
Li Yuanji sighed: "What else can we do? We can only resist the decree."
If he were in Chang'an City, Li Yuan would not only confer him the title of General Zhen Yao, but also confer him the title of King of Side by Side with the Emperor as mentioned in a play. He would dare to accept it.
Because in Chang'an City, it was not easy for Li Shimin to separate his regime or ask Li Yuan to become the Supreme Emperor, so he did not need to care about Li Shimin.
But now outside the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin had the conditions to separate the country, and he also had the strength to ask for the throne.
Li Shimin separatist power at this time, or asked Li Yuan to become the Supreme Emperor, which would not be good for the Tang Dynasty, nor would it be good for him.
So he had to take Li Shimin into consideration. Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuanji in shock. She didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so decisive and decisive.
For the sisters and brothers, although they would not be beheaded for resisting the decree, they would still be punished.
"You have just made a great contribution. Not only will you not receive a reward, you will also have to receive a punishment. Are you willing?"
For Li Xiuning, the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, and she didn't want to see Li Yuanji being wronged. Li Yuanji chuckled, "So what if you don't want to give in?"
You can't just watch the split and civil strife within the Tang Dynasty. In that case, your loved ones will only suffer, and your enemies will be happy.
The Tang Dynasty still has many major enemies that have not yet been resolved. To create divisions and engage in civil strife is to create opportunities for the enemies.
Although the Turks retreated, once there was turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, the Turks would come back at any time.
Master Liang is also waiting for an opportunity. Fu Gongyou is not far away from rebelling.
Although Li Yi is loyal to the Tang Dynasty now, if there is a split or civil strife within the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi may turn against him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are only more than 1.5 million households in Dingkou in the Tang Dynasty, and they can no longer withstand the troubled times like the late Sui Dynasty.
If this happens again, the Tang Dynasty will immediately fall apart.
In many places, it may be the Turks or people of other races who have the final say. How did Wu Huan Hua come into being?
It was because of the eight kings of the Jin Kingdom who engaged in division and civil strife that the national power was empty and the people's livelihood was in ruins. The number of soldiers and horses decreased rapidly, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses declined rapidly. This gave the Hu people led by Xianbei Jie Qiang Di of the Xiongnu an opportunity to take advantage of them.
An opportunity that slips in.
There were enough outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty. If it split and started civil strife, the outcome might be better than that of Jin, but many people would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being sheep.
How could Li Yuanji just watch people become sheep?! "I'll do it!" Li Xiuning didn't want Li Yuanji to be wronged.
Li Yuanji grinned. He felt Li Xiuning's feelings, but there was no need. Judging from Li Yuan's attitude towards his children, it was obvious that Li Yuan favored sons over daughters.
Otherwise, a heroine like Li Xiuning with great ambitions would not have been allowed to sit on the bench in Weizeguan for so many years.
On the contrary, the predecessor, who did not have many strategies in his mind, continued to run rampant on the battlefield. It is a pity that Li Xiuning is not a man.
If he were a man, based on Li Xiuning's attitude towards him, he wouldn't need to be a neutral person anymore.
"Sister, just guard Weize Pass. I'll go out and take shelter. I'll come back after the person who announced the decree has left."
Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Although Li Yuanji wanted to resist the decree, there was no need to confront the person who declared it head-on.
If the person who announced the decree did not read out the rewards to Su Dingfang and others because he resisted the decree, then he would really suffer a big loss.
He didn't care about his own reward, so if he resisted, he would resist. He still cared about the rewards from Su Dingfang and others. "Yuanji!"
Li Xiuning was anxious.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Sister, if I am punished, I will only receive a scolding. If you are punished, not only will you be unlucky, but your brother-in-law Zhewei Lingwu will also suffer. Brother-in-law is okay, Zhewei and Lingwu
I haven't seen you for a long time, you can't let them meet you in prison when they see you again, right?"
Li Xiuning was shocked. After all, this is an era where men are respected.
As soon as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Permanent Rules came out, Li Yuan had enough reasons to let his daughter go gently and punish his son-in-law and grandson severely.
Many times, when the princess makes a mistake, the consort is always the one who gets beaten. "I..." Li Xiuning opened her mouth and wanted to speak.
Li Yuanji smiled again and said: "Sister, just think of me as your younger brother protecting you for once, how about that?"
Li Xiuning's eyes suddenly turned red.
"I will leave Weize Pass to my sister. I would like to ask my sister to send someone to Luoyang City to see if my second brother will have a rift with me because of this matter."
After Li Yuanji said this with a smile, he left Guanya in a carefree manner without waiting for Li Xiuning to speak.
After leaving the Guan Yamen, he kicked Yu Wenbao, who was still scratching his head at the door, and shouted: "Go and call the guards in the house, let's go hunting."
When Yu Wenbao heard that Li Yuanji was going hunting, he immediately became interested. When he and Li Yuanji went hunting, they got along most happily.
Because Li Yuanji would lead them to do whatever they wanted and do as they pleased. It had been a long time since he had accompanied Li Yuanji on hunting. He thought Li Yuanji had given up hunting.
Yu Wenbao immediately happily prepared to greet people. However, after taking two steps, he seemed to realize something was wrong. He turned back to look at Li Yuanji and said: "The decree to canonize His Highness is coming soon. Isn't His Highness waiting to receive the decree?" "
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao, "Even if I don't accept the order, who would dare to covet my reward?"
Yu Wenbao suddenly realized, "That's right, no one dares to covet His Highness's reward."
At this point, he patted his chest and said, "Whoever dares to covet His Highness's reward, we will kill him and then his whole family."
