Li Xiuning smiled coquettishly, "When did you become so good at making people happy?"
It had been a long, long time since Li Xiuning had heard such thoughtful and comforting words, so the haze in her heart disappeared and she smiled extraordinarily brightly.
Li Yuanji also laughed and said: "I'm not trying to make my sister happy, I'm telling the truth."
Li Xiuning pretended to believe Li Yuanji's words and said with a smile: "Then tell me why you are so reluctant to Shanzhi?"
Li Yuanji did not hide it, and said frankly: "Sister, I said before that Li Zhongwen's mind is not strong, and if Master Liang uses other methods in the future, Li Zhongwen may not be able to withstand it.
Xiang Shanzhi's current status is completely lower than that of Li Zhongwen, so he may not be able to check and balance Li Zhongwen."
It's strange, Li Zhongwen is clearly the least capable and mentally unstable person under Li Xiuning, but he is also the best at it.
Although He Panren obtained the title of a county prince by offering 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses to the Tang Dynasty, his starting point was many times higher than that of Li Zhongwen, but in recent years he has been sitting in Weizeguan without any gains, so the title is still
For a county official, there are not many changes in his position.
Although Li Zhongwen didn't start as high as He Panren, he was repeatedly transferred from Weizeguan in recent years and participated in various wars. With his military exploits, he was promoted from county marquis to county magistrate.
After the previous battle at Weizeguan, Li Zhongwen was promoted to the rank of Duke, which in turn overpowered He Panren.
Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and others started out similar to Li Zhongwen, but they have not been out of Weize Pass in recent years and have not made any achievements, so they were left far behind by Li Zhongwen.

After listening to Li Yuanji's words, Li Xiuning's smile faded a lot, "What do you mean, you have to find someone who has the same status as Li Zhongwen and can check and balance Li Zhongwen, or someone who can overpower Li Zhongwen and go back?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.
Li Xiuning thought about it and sighed: "Then we can only let Pan Ren go back..."
Li Zhongwen is now the Duke of the country, and there are not many people under Li Xiuning who can suppress him, only He Panren and Ma Sanbao.
Although He Panren's title is one level lower than that of Li Zhongwen, He Panren has always been at the top among the generals under Li Xiuning's command, and the generals have always called him "big brother".
He has enough majesty to intimidate Li Zhongwen.
He also has enough abilities and means to check and balance Li Zhongwen.
Although Ma Sanbao's title was much lower than that of Li Zhongwen, Ma Sanbao was clever and cunning. If Li Zhongwen wanted to fight with him, he would not be his opponent at all.
Ma Sanbao not only had enough ability and means to check and balance Li Zhongwen, but he could even blackmail Li Zhongwen in a very short period of time to make Wei Ze pass.
But Ma Sanbao is now serving in the crown prince's palace. If Li Xiuning wants to transfer someone out, he must get Li Jiancheng's approval.
Li Yuan also had a good impression of Ma Sanbao. If Li Xiuning wanted to transfer people away from Chang'an, Li Yuan would also ask.
So it's very troublesome.
Therefore, He Panren could only be transferred back to Weize Pass.
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "He Panren is pretty good."
He Panren was a Hu man who did business in Guanzhong in his early years.
During the great changes in Guanzhong, he was able to gather 30,000 to 40,000 Guanzhong heroes as a barbarian and dominate the area. His ability, courage, and means must be extraordinary.
So if He Panren went back and stared at Li Zhongwen, Li Zhongwen should not have a fever in his head.
Li Xiuning sighed: "I will transfer He Panren back to Weize Pass."
After saying this, Li Xiuning didn't say anything more and hurriedly left the entrance of the garden.
Ling Pingcheng stretched his neck, waiting to meet the nobleman Li Xiuning, but Li Xiuning didn't talk to him from beginning to end, and he looked disappointed.
Li Yuanji smiled and comforted Pingcheng Ling with a few words, and Pingcheng Ling's face regained some of its energy.
Li Yuanji drew a pie for Pingcheng Ling again, and Pingcheng Ling suddenly became happy.
Li Yuanji stayed in Pingcheng for one day under the careful care of the Pingcheng Order.
After Sun Simiao led his children to bring disaster to Huayuan, Li Xiuning sent He Panren back to Weize Pass and set off again with his troops.
After leaving Pingcheng, passing through Yushe, Xiangxian, Tunliu, Changzi, Gaoping and Zezhou, we arrived at Tianjing Pass near Luoyang.
When they arrived at Tianjing Pass, they met Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda who had finished announcing the decree and left Weize Pass first.
Li Yuanji was very surprised.
The two people had obviously left Weize Pass more than half a month ago, so why did they arrive at Tianjing Pass?
Li Yuanji really wanted to ask two people.
But he didn't wait until he sent someone to summon him.
The two people took the initiative to come to the door.
Li Yuanji immediately understood that the reason why the two of them left more than half a month early and were still at Tianjingguan was to wait for him.
…
Tianjingguan.
Close camp.
After Li Yuanji saluted Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, he asked Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda to sit down.
After sitting down.
Xiao Yu was the first to speak with a smile: "I thought that His Highness would always avoid me."
Don't speak secretly in front of people.
Li Yuanji did not make any detours with Xiao Yu, and said with a smile: "Song Guogong should know that I am not hiding from you."
Xiao Yu said with emotion: "I hope it is me who your Highness is hiding from. To be honest with you, Your Highness's resistance to the decree this time has caused great harm to both me and Mr. Chen."
Li Yuanji was stunned and asked with a smile: "Did my father punish you?"
Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation and said: "The saint fined me a year's salary because of my poor performance. Fortunately, I still have some family assets. Even though I was fined a year's salary by the saint, I still have to pay a salary every day."
Can have a full meal.
Mr. Chen is in trouble, his family has little assets, and I am afraid that he cannot even afford a full meal."
Li Yuanji felt 'haha' in his heart.
Chen Shuda would not be able to eat, and he would not believe that he was a ghost.
Chen Shuda was the seventeenth son of Emperor Chen Xuan, Chen Xu, and was born with a golden key in his mouth.
After the death of Chen, he also held official positions in the former Sui Dynasty.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he took up the position of a servant in the Tang Dynasty and was given the title of Duke Jiang.
Chen Shuda's glory and wealth have never ceased, so how could he not have enough to eat?
"If this happens, then I have to tell my father and ask him to provide Chen Shizhong with a good meal every day."
Li Yuanji exclaimed.
Xiao Yu's smile froze, and Chen Shuda's expression became very ugly.
They just complained to Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji would give them some concessions in the subsequent conversation and stop causing chaos.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanji did not answer their words at all, but instead generalized an army.
If Li Yuanji really told Li Yuan, he would let Li Yuan take care of Chen Shuda and give him a full meal every day.
That Chen Shuda was laughed to death.
Is it shameful for a dignified prime minister of a country to pretend to be poor, pretend not to have enough to eat, and then ask the emperor to give alms?
"There's no need to take care of the food."
Xiao Yu smiled dryly and said: "Your Highness, as long as you remember, I will be punished for Your Highness."
Li Yuanji stared at Xiao Yu blankly, "It's my father who punished you, what does it have to do with me?"
Xiao Yu opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
If Li Yuanji is still the cruel and cruel guy before, then Li Yuanji's words must be from the bottom of his heart.
But Li Yuanji is obviously not the cruel and cruel guy he used to be. Li Yuanji said this, obviously pretending to be stupid to them.
Li Yuanji must have guessed that they came with a purpose, so he refused to answer their questions, not wanting to be at a disadvantage in the subsequent conversation.
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda looked at each other, and both saw the bitterness in the other's eyes.
People can't be too smart. If they are too smart, they will be hard to deceive.
"His Highness is now a sensible person, so I won't make any detours with His Highness."
Xiao Yu stared at Li Yuanji and said.
Since Li Yuanji refused to answer his questions and was unwilling to be at a disadvantage in the ensuing conversation, it would be pointless for him to pretend to be pitiful to Li Yuanji.
He said straight to the point: "The saint asked me to wait for His Highness at Tianjing Pass. There is something I want to discuss with Your Highness."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yu looked at Li Yuanji's expression and said: "The saint intends to change Taiyuan Mansion to Hedong Road, and hopes that His Highness will serve as the Minister of Daxingtai of Hedong Road. I wonder what your Highness wants?"
Li Yuanji sighed in his heart and did not answer in a hurry.
Li Yuan wanted to change Taiyuan Prefecture to Hedong Road and let him serve as the Minister of Daxingtai of Hedong Road. This was to let him cooperate with Gyeonggi Road and sandwich Li Shimin's Shaanxi Road in the middle, cut off the possibility of Li Shimin's separatist rule, and force Li Shimin to give up some
It’s an unrealistic idea, just be like His Highness the King of Qin.
In the final analysis, we still have to support him to go up and check and balance Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji didn't expect that after General Zhen Yao rejected him, Li Yuan would do this again.
However, this time Li Yuan was smarter and did not publicize the matter in a big way. Instead, he sent someone to discuss it with him privately.
In this case, there is no need to worry that he will refuse, and there is no need to worry about irritating Li Shimin.
"Why is Your Highness silent?"
Seeing that Li Yuanji was reluctant to speak, Xiao Yu couldn't help asking questions.
Li Yuanji looked at Xiao Yu and said with a smile: "I just don't understand what father means, so I don't know what to say."
Chen Shuda interjected: "The saint hopes that His Highness can, like His Highness King Qin, rectify the official administration of Taiyuan Prefecture, develop the farming and mulberry farming in Taiyuan Prefecture, and make Taiyuan Prefecture grow stronger as soon as possible."
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Is that just that?"
Chen Shuda opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Because Li Yuan's meaning must be more than that.
But if Li Yuanji was asked to check and balance Li Shimin, he couldn't say it.
Li Yuan himself may not be able to say it out loud, he can only hint at Li Yuanji in a subtle way.
Xiao Yu took Chen Shuda's words and said with a smile: "If Your Highness wishes this to be the case, then it will be the case."
After Li Yuanji took over the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hedong Road, it is not important yet whether he will act in accordance with Li Yuan's wishes.
The most important thing now is for Li Yuanji to take over the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hedong Road.
