All the civil and military officials shouted loudly in response to Li Jiancheng's words.
The smile on Li Jiancheng's face became even brighter amidst the cheers of the civil and military officials. He seemed to be happy that the Tang Dynasty had won a great victory, and he seemed to be happy that Li Yuanji could achieve supreme feats.
Li Jiancheng smiled brightly and praised Li Yuanji a few more times in public, then walked towards Qu Tutong and others and expressed his condolences.
Especially in front of Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, two great heroes of the Eastern Expedition, I stopped for a while and very enthusiastically asked them to talk about their feats during the Eastern Expedition.
Xie Shufang turned a blind eye to Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm. After briefly describing to Li Jiancheng the process of breaking into the Turkic camp alone in a "programmed" manner, Xie Shufang stopped talking.
Even though Li Jiancheng kept praising him for his bravery, he didn't react much.
Su Dingfang burst into tears of gratitude for Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm. With trembling lips, he vividly told Li Jiancheng the process of killing Liu Heitao.
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Su Dingfang's attitude. He not only praised Su Dingfang as the bravest among the brave, but also rewarded Su Dingfang with a jade pendant around his waist.
Su Dingfang happily accepted it.
"Yuanji, your people are going to be kidnapped."
Li Shentong didn't know when he appeared next to Li Yuanji, curling his lips and saying.
As Li Yuanji's man, Su Dingfang was so eager for Li Jiancheng and even accepted Li Jiancheng's things. In Li Shentong's opinion, it was because of his weak will.
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shentong and smiled calmly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, you can't keep those who should go, and you can't leave those who should stay."
Li Yuanji knew Su Dingfang well, and Su Dingfang was not the kind of person who clings to power and is not firm-willed.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to follow Gao Yaxian to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, let alone live in seclusion for many years after Gao Yaxian's death.
With his ability, the earlier he loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the more power and wealth he would gain.
This shows that he is not a power-hungry person.
Li Yuanji saw clearly that Su Dingfang obviously thought that Li Jiancheng was being taken advantage of, so he took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Being bold is a bit bold, but it kills two birds with one stone.
Su Dingfang not only benefited from this move, but also showed all the officials of Datang that he was not a difficult person to get along with.
After he settled in Chang'an City, he could quickly integrate into the circle of powerful people in Chang'an City.
When the powerful make friends, they are not afraid of those who are greedy for money, nor are they afraid of lustful ones, nor are they afraid of those who love power, but are afraid of those who are aloof.
Because most aloof people are difficult to get along with, and if you want to make friends with them, you will usually stick to their cold butt.
Even if you spend a lot of effort and make friends with others, they will still impeach you when it is time to impeach you.
If you are in trouble and ask others for help, there is a high chance that they will not help you.
"You are really big-hearted..."
Li Shentong sighed.
Li Daozong came over at some point and said in a low voice: "I think Yuan Ji is not arrogant, but confident. I'm afraid the prince's jade pendant was given away for nothing."
With Li Shentong in charge, Li Shentong chatted with Li Yuanji in a homely manner, and Li Daozong also called Li Yuanji by his name as his brother.
"oh?"
Li Shentong looked at Li Daozong with a surprised look on his face, "How did you see this?"
Li Daozong glanced at Li Yuanji, and seeing that Li Yuanji did not stop him, he said slowly: "Although I don't know Su Dingfang very well, I have heard people say that Su Dingfang was very filial to Gao Yaxian.
Gao Yaxian is firmly in Yuanji's hand, and it is impossible for Su Dingfang to leave Yuanji."
Li Shentong looked stunned, "That's it."
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong and then at Li Daozong, feeling that something was not right.
Why do you feel that he is now in the same party with Li Shentong and Li Daozong?
Li Shentong and Li Daozong did not speak to Li Jiancheng, who held great righteousness, nor did they speak to Li Shimin, who was the most powerful. Instead, they kept talking to him and thinking about him.
Although Li Xiuning had communicated with Li Shentong in private.
But that's not enough to make Li Shentong and Li Daozong turn towards him immediately.
Li Yuanji stared at Li Shentong and Li Daozong suspiciously.
Li Shentong coughed twice with some guilt, and said nonchalantly: "I have two beloved generals under my command. They were seriously injured in Shizhou this time and will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future.
I heard that there are many vacancies for the general manager, governor, and hussar of Hebei Province..."
Li Daozong nodded vigorously on the side and said: "I also have someone under my command..."
Li Yuanji was stunned and said strangely: "Why do you think that I can decide the positions of general manager, governor, and hussar of Hebei Province?"
Li Shentong laughed and looked up at the sky.
Li Daozong also looked around.
Li Yuanji glanced at the two people thoughtfully.
Li Yuan had not yet issued an order regarding his appointment as the Minister of Daxingtai of Hebei Province, and he was not sure whether Li Yuan would be happy to give him the position of Minister of Daxingtai of Hebei Province.
But Li Shentong and Li Daozong have obviously begun to regard him as the Minister of Daxingtai of Hebei Province.
Only the Daxingtai Shangshu Ling of Hebei Province could influence Li Yuan's appointment of the general manager, governor, and hussar of Hebei Province.
"Did you get any news? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"
Li Yuanji stared at Li Shentong and Li Daozong suspiciously and asked.
Li Shentong and Li Daozong just laughed and said nothing.
"If you don't give me an accurate word, I can't help you. After all, the affairs of Hebei Province are now under the control of my second brother, and I can't get involved."
When Li Yuanji saw that Li Shentong and Li Daozong refused to reveal their secrets, he could only threaten them.
The smile on Li Shentong's face froze, and he smiled dryly and said: "We also heard a little bit from the eunuch who accompanied Pei Ji to announce the decree.
The saint's will has not yet come down, and we cannot just listen to the wind and rain, so please don't make things difficult for us."
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully and suddenly grinned, "Okay, I won't embarrass you. I will consider everything you asked me."
Li Shentong nodded to Li Yuanji with satisfaction, while Li Daozong bowed his hand to Li Yuanji with a grateful look on his face.
Then the two of them left in a hurry without staying with Li Yuanji for any longer.
As soon as the two people left, the smile on Li Yuanji's face immediately disappeared.
Someone under Shit's hands is injured and cannot go to the battlefield. He has to go to Hebei Province to serve as a general manager, governor, and hussar.
It was obvious that Li Yuan had learned some lessons from Li Shimin and was afraid that he would become the second Li Shimin after taking control of Hebei Province.
So I wanted to mix some sand into Hebei Road before announcing the decree.
Li Yuan himself had no shame in doing such a thing, so he invited Li Shentong and Li Daozong to take action.
Otherwise, Li Shentong and Li Daozong would not find him even if they wanted to install their own people in the place.
Are Li Shentong and Li Daozong going crazy and looking for Li Yuan's biological son to help them place people in the place?
If Li Yuan knew about it, how would he treat them?
From the beginning, Li Yuanji felt that it was a bit unexpected that Li Shentong and Li Daozong suddenly came to the door, and Li Shentong and Li Daozong were too eager and too oriented towards him.
Now I finally understand why I was abrupt and why I was so eager.
Because from the beginning, Li Shentong and Li Daozong were not really seeking their own benefit.
So the performance was naturally abrupt.
In order to act more realistically, I was overly enthusiastic.
Li Shentong and Li Daozong obviously did not regard the task assigned by Li Yuan as a serious task, so they did it perfunctorily and full of flaws.
Li Yuanji could roughly guess that the reason why Li Shentong and Li Daozong did this was because they didn't want to be caught between their father and son. They were not human beings inside and outside.
However, what Li Shentong and Li Daozong did told him one thing.
That is the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province that he has longed for, and it should be settled.
He thought there were some changes before.
"Xuan..."
Just when Li Yuanji was celebrating that he was about to get the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province, Li Jiancheng had already "consoled" all the generals who had achieved great success during the Eastern Expedition and returned to his guard of honor.
.
The eunuch accompanying Li Jiancheng shouted loudly.
All the civil and military personnel, as well as all the soldiers, all bent down.
Li Jiancheng picked up a copy of the imperial edict and began to read it out with a smile.
It was an imperial edict about rewarding Li Shimin for his contribution to the Eastern Campaign.
The general meaning is that the area under Li Shimin's jurisdiction was expanded, and the capital city was also included in Li Shimin's jurisdiction.
This was indeed a generous reward for Li Shimin.
After all, the area that Li Shimin can now govern is already very large. If Duji Road is placed under Li Shimin's jurisdiction, Li Shimin's influence on the local area will be expanded and his authority will be increased.
However, when Li Shimin received the order, there was not much joy on his face.
The richer the reward Li Yuan gave him, the more it showed that Li Yuan would not fulfill his promise and hand over the crown prince's position to him.
Although Li Shimin had known for a long time that Li Yuan would break his promise, he still felt unhappy when things came to an end.
"Xuan..."
The eunuchs accompanying Li Jiancheng shouted loudly again after Li Shimin received the order.
Li Jiancheng took out another imperial edict and motioned Li Yuanji to come forward.
Li Yuanji walked up to Li Jiancheng, bent down, and Li Jiancheng read out the decree.
The content of the decree is very simple. The order of Daxingtai Shangshu Order of Xiangnan Road of Li Yuanji was changed to the order of Daxingtai Shangshu Order of Hebei Province.
Then it was gone.
Because of Li Yuanji's previous mistakes in resisting the imperial edict, his rewards such as being granted a new household title and being promoted to General Zhenyao were all gone.
However, Li Yuanji didn't care about this.
What he was most concerned about was the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province. He had already obtained it, and he was satisfied.
When Li Shimin heard that Li Yuanji was granted the title of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province, his expression changed significantly. The expressions of other Qin Prince's Palace members also changed.
