Qu Tutong left Li Yuanji with Yin Qiao and Li Daozong with a look of regret.
Li Yuanji wanted to keep Li Daozong behind to ask him why he was hanging out with Qu Tutong and others, but Li Daozong fled too quickly and didn't give him a chance.
Not long after Qu Tutong and his party left, Yu Wenbao, like a general who had won a great victory, rode up to Li Yuanji with arrogance and said happily: "Your Highness, we have captured them all. What do you think should be done?"
How to deal with it?"
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao and said, "It seems to be much later than expected. Is there something wrong?"
It stands to reason that if Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, the Xue brothers and others took action together and captured a Kan Leng, it would be a matter of success.
But Yu Wenbao was gone for a full quarter of an hour, which shows that something happened.
Yu Wenbao said blankly: "Nothing went wrong. Although the rude man named Kan Leng resisted very fiercely, he was still captured by Luo Tongjun."
"Kan Leng? The intensity of the resistance?"
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that Kan Leng has a deep relationship with Du Fuwei, and he is a bit reluctant to join his disciples.
Otherwise, even though you know it's just acting, you wouldn't be able to work so hard.
"Your Highness can't stand that Kan Leng?"
When Yu Wenbao saw Li Yuanji repeating Kan Leng's name, he immediately asked.
If Li Yuanji nodded, he would immediately have Kan Leng's head removed.
Although Kan Leng's official position was more than one and a half points higher than his, Kan Leng was Du Fuwei's official, so he didn't have much psychological burden to kill him.
Li Yuanji saw through Yu Wenbao's thoughts and said angrily: "There's nothing I don't like, I just think Kan Leng is a bit interesting.
Since the people have captured it, they confiscated the soldiers and armor and temporarily detained them.
If Li Fuwei comes to ask for someone, just say I'm not here."
When it comes to acting, it is natural to act more realistically.
If a Dufuwei man was detained, he would definitely have to shout twice and give him a hug.
"I understand, I will take care of it immediately."
Yu Wenbao agreed and left in a hurry.
…
After that, all the way from Tongguan to outside Chang'an City, Du Fuwei sent more than a dozen people to complain to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji felt that Du Fuwei's acting was a bit too much, so he sent someone to remind Du Fuwei, but Du Fuwei still continued to act.
Some people who had a taste of Du Fuwei's acting and noticed that Li Yuanji and Du Fuwei had some dealings also felt that Du Fuwei's acting was a bit too much.
"Tell me, is Li Fuwei stupid or Yuan Ji stupid?"
Li Shimin was wearing Mingguang armor and sitting astride a horse. Hearing that Du Fuwei sent someone again, he ran to Li Yuanji who was not far away and shouted at him. He asked Sun Wuji, the elder beside him, with some headache.
Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said: "Although His Royal Highness the King of Qi acted a little recklessly, he was not stupid. Li Fuwei was able to survive from the rebellion of the late Sui Dynasty to the present, so he is not stupid either."
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji and asked: "Then why did Yuanji contact Li Fuwei at this time? Doesn't he know that after Li Fuwei enters the court this time, he will become a cripple even if he doesn't die?"
Changsun Wuji said without hesitation: "His Royal Highness King Qi obviously took a fancy to the men in Li Fuwei's hands, and wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of Li Fuwei's hands."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "So Li Fuwei sent people to complain everywhere, because he wanted to consolidate his relationship with Yuan Ji, lest Yuan Ji take his benefits and not help him?"
Changsun Wuji nodded slowly.
Li Shimin picked up the riding whip and pointed around, "Everyone is a sensible person. The first few times Li Fuwei complained, everyone already understood the relationship between him and Yuan Ji.
He’s still barking, don’t you think it’s a little annoying?”
Li Shimin didn't have much opinion about Li Yuanji going under Du Fuwei to poach people.
Although Kan Leng and Wang Xiongdan under Du Fuwei are indeed talented people.
But Du Fuwei was registered with Li Yuan.
If you go to contact Du Fuwei for the sake of Kan Leng and Wang Xiongdan, you are rubbing Li Yuan's eyebrows.
He has many counselors and warriors under him, and there are also many counselors and warriors worth recruiting in both the government and the public. There is no need to touch Li Yuan's brow for Kan Leng and Wang Xiongdan.
Although he doesn't care much about touching Li Yuan's brow now.
But he still wanted to legitimately obtain the position of prince, and did not want to give Li Yuan too many excuses.
Therefore, when Li Yuanji poached people from Du Fuwei, he didn't have any trouble in his heart. Instead, he felt that Li Yuanji had picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelons.
Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin saw everything clearly when Li Shimin opened his mouth.
The reason why Li Shimin came to him for advice was not really to ask for advice, but because he had something to tell him.
After hearing Li Shimin's last words, he understood what Li Shimin meant, "I understand, I will tell them to shut up."
Li Shimin simply felt that Du Fuwei's behavior was a bit childish and annoying.
In other words, what Du Fuwei did was treating everyone as fools.
So let Du Fuwei's people shut up.
Changsun Wuji immediately summoned the messengers and sent out a military order.
During the march, soldiers and horses other than those of the main unit are not allowed to cross indiscriminately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law.
As soon as this order came out.
Du Fuwei never dared to send people to complain to Li Yuanji again.
Li Yuanji was finally clean.
When Du Fuwei sent people to complain for the third time, Li Yuanji had some thoughts of killing Du Fuwei.
Dufuwei is really like a dog-skin plaster. Once it sticks to it, it not only cannot be shaken off, but also feels a little nauseating.
If he hadn't been worried about killing Du Fuwei, Kan Leng would have been difficult to subdue, and he would have taken action without hesitation.
"..."
"The angel has arrived!"
"..."
Not long after Du Fuwei stopped, the army entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Chang'an City.
To be precise, it is the boundary of Chang'an County among the two counties attached to Chang'an City.
Pei Ji, wearing an official hat and purple robe, had been waiting on the official road for a long time, with an angel's guard of honor behind him. The Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Etiquette beside Pei Ji made a loud announcement after Li Yuanji and his entourage appeared.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Shimin was immediately ready to dismount when he heard another announcement from the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Rites, allowing Li Shentong, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji to wear armor to listen to the decree.
It is said that they are listening to orders, but it actually means that the three of them do not need to dismount.
Others didn't have such a big face, so they naturally dismounted.
Pei Ji bowed to Li Shentong, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji from a distance, and then slowly picked up the imperial edict.
Li Shentong, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji saluted together.
Pei Ji began to read out the decree.
"Under the door..."
Pei Ji opened his mouth with the word 'menxia', then shook his head and recited a lot of words that gave Li Yuanji a headache before getting down to the topic.
There is not much content in the main topic, which is that the Menxia Province, on behalf of the imperial court, formulated the standards for the awards for this group of meritorious soldiers.
It was also read out what kind of rewards the soldiers who could not receive officers or knights would receive.
After Li Shimin received the order on behalf of all the soldiers, the army set off again.
Pei Ji led a group of people who announced the decree and joined the army.
We traveled about five miles.
The loud sound of drum music instantly resounded across the wilderness.
Following the sound, I saw Prince Li Jiancheng, leading a group of civil and military officials, waiting for the army amidst a gorgeous ceremonial guard.
Wait until the army approaches.
Li Shimin reluctantly led everyone to dismount.
We paid homage to Li Jiancheng together.
Although Li Shimin met with Li Jiancheng on weekdays, he only dealt with it superficially and rarely formally saluted Li Jiancheng.
But on such an important and solemn occasion, he still had to bow to Li Jiancheng.
With a warm smile, Li Jiancheng helped Li Shentong up first and said, "Uncle Wang has made great achievements in this expedition," and Li Shentong said, "Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Jiancheng helped Li Shimin up again and praised him again.
Li Shimin also dealt with it face to face.
When Li Jiancheng walked in front of Li Yuanji, the smile on his face was a little stiff.
The results of Li Yuanji's expedition not only opened his eyes, but also shocked him several times.
The most important thing is that Li Yuanji also made things difficult for him several times.
As a result, he was scolded twice by Li Yuan.
The first time was when Li Yuanji burned down the granary in Luoyang.
Li Yuan criticized him because he was thinking about Li Yuanji's things, and Li Yuanji was so angry that he burned down the Luoyang granary.
The second time was when Li Yuanji killed Wang Junkuo. He ordered the people in his house to impeach Li Yuanji, hoping to test Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji once again published the memorial that had praised Li Shimin. Li Yuan caught him again and severely criticized him, scolding him for not being able to tolerate others, not even his younger brother.
Privately, he scolded him for not knowing how to protect his own family, but instead helping outsiders to embarrass his own family, and he was not worthy of being an elder brother.
Therefore, when Li Jiancheng saw Li Yuanji, his thoughts were far more complicated than when he saw Li Shimin.
He was fortunate that Li Yuanji's sudden emergence could help him share part of the pressure from Li Shimin.
I am also worried that Li Yuanji will suddenly emerge and become the second Li Shimin.
Judging from what Li Yuanji has done, if he becomes the second Li Shimin, he will probably be in more trouble than Li Shimin.
After all, although Li Shimin is powerful, he still cares about his feathers more or less. When doing things, he will not do anything, nor will he be shameless.
Li Yuanji is different, it's all based on temperament.
Even if you don't cherish your feathers, it's still shameless.
"Yuanji, what you did during this expedition really impressed my brother."
Li Jiancheng supported Li Yuanji and said with a complicated expression.
Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "What my brother did in Chang'an City also made me deeply understand what it means to be respectful between brothers and friends."
The smile on Li Jiancheng's face became even stiffer, "I'm doing it for your own good too..."
Li Yuanji asked with a smile: "So you let Wei Zheng and Feng Li seek my food, and also let Pei Ju lead a group of officials in the East Palace to impeach me?"
Li Jiancheng couldn't hold himself any longer. Instead of answering Li Yuanji's words, he laughed loudly in all directions.
"Hahaha... Yuan Ji has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty this time. Not only did he kill Liu Heita, but he also beheaded the Turkic Khan's Wolf Head, which greatly increased the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."
