Li Ji almost choked to death at Ling Jing's words. No wonder Dou Jiande refused to listen to you. You speak so bluntly and tell the unflattering truth. It's strange that Dou Jiande is willing to listen to you.
Of course Li Ji knew that he was no match for Li Shimin.
Let’s not talk about the gap between him and Li Shimin.
Even with the manpower the two of them could use, it was still a hundred times worse.
There are only three or two kittens in his house.
Only one of them is following him loyally, and the remaining two have yet to be conquered.
Li Shimin's house is a gathering of heroes, with over a hundred powerful generals and hundreds of advisers. Most of them are loyal to Li Shimin, and all of them are evil.
If the two sides send people to confront each other, Li Shimin can crush him in one round.
But you know, you know, you can’t lose in terms of momentum.
"I understand, go down."
Li Ji gave the order somewhat helplessly.
Ling Jing did not leave, but stood in front of Li Ji and continued: "Not long ago, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver Bingzhou's government documents to his residence. How does His Highness plan to deal with it?"
Li Ji was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that this was Li Jiancheng's way of weighing him.
His feudal state was in Bingzhou, which occupied a large area and covered three counties.
In addition, he holds the position of Bingzhou Dadudu, and almost half of the government affairs in Bingzhou need to be handled by him.
In the past, he had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng, so he could just leave these things to Li Jiancheng.
Now that he and Li Jiancheng are on bad terms, Li Jiancheng is naturally not willing to work hard for him.
Li Jiancheng knew that he was not good at handling government affairs, so throwing these things to him was to put pressure on him.
Li Ji pondered for a while and then ordered: "You go to Li Sixing, and you and Li Sixing will sort the government documents of Bingzhou into categories. Send the important ones to me, and you can handle the unimportant ones."
After a pause, Li Ji added: "Find some time to get in touch with other people and see if any of them are willing to be used by me. If they are talented and willing to be used by me, I don't mind satisfying them for a little while."
A small request.”
The ‘they’ in Li Ji’s mouth refers to Dou Jiande’s old tribe.
Li Jiancheng handed over the local government affairs of Bingzhou to him, which indeed made him feel a little pressure.
He, Ling Jing, and Li Sixing may not be able to handle it all.
Even if it is handled completely, it may not be handled perfectly.
Failure to do so may result in loss of life.
As the supreme ruler of Bingzhou, with one stroke, he is very likely to make a group of people who are living a good life worse than death, and he is also very likely to make a group of people who are living a life worse than death live a pretty good life.
How to write specifically should not be judged based solely on the documents handed down from the local government.
You have to use your own wisdom and experience in governing the place to see through the documents and see the essence behind them.
The method of deceiving superiors and concealing inferiors has been practiced by local officials thousands of years ago.
He didn't think that he could defeat the following group of people just by relying on his intelligence.
Although the quality of life of the local people does not have much impact on him.
But since he shoulders this responsibility, he naturally has to be more responsible to the local people.
So he needs more people to use him.
Ling Jing was asked to contact other Dou Jiande's old subordinates in order to avoid directly recruiting Dou Jiande's old subordinates and angering Li Yuan again.
Ling Jing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that Li Ji had no other instructions, Ling Jing left Wude Hall.
After Ling Jing left, Li Ji was not in the mood to read. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin each tricked him. He was really not in a good mood, so he simply stretched out, sat on the couch, and began to groan.
In the afternoon, Xie Shufang suddenly ran to the palace to report that it was Yin Ashu who wanted to see him.
Li Ji was also stunned for a while.
I thought to myself, this guy still dared to show up after being beaten badly by me. Could it be that he was addicted to being beaten?
Full of doubts, Li Ji ordered Xie Shufang to bring Yin Ashu to the main hall.
Not long after, Xie Shufang and Yin Ashu appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
Yin Ah Shu no longer had the arrogance he had before, nor did he have the casual energy to treat Wude Hall as his own home. Instead, he behaved and obeyed.
After seeing Li Ji, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Yin Ah Shu meets His Highness."
Yin Ah Shu had injuries on his face, which made him look even uglier, and his speech was a bit leaky and slurred.
His front teeth were knocked out by Li Ji before.
Li Ji stared at Yin Ashu and said curiously: "You still dare to come to me?"
Yin Ashu trembled with fright and said hurriedly: "I'm here to report the news to His Highness."
Li Ji was stunned and asked doubtfully, "What kind of letter can you give me?"
Yin Ah Shu hurriedly said: "This morning, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to see me, saying that His Highness recruited Dou Jiande's old tribe. His Highness the Crown Prince wants me to go to the saint to file a complaint against you.
I don’t dare to offend His Highness, so I came here specifically to say something to His Highness.”
What Yin Ashu said in the first part is true, but what he said in the following part was his own guess.
After listening to Yin Ashu's words, Li Ji was stunned for a while and said slowly: "You mean the prince asked you to go to the saint to sue me?"
Yin Ashu nodded sharply.
Li Ji was thoughtful, Li Jiancheng not only weighed him on local government affairs, but also wanted Yin A Shu to trick him, which was a bit despicable.
Is this what you, a prince, should do?
Is this what you, an older brother, should do?
"You did well."
Li Ji praised Yin Shufang and told Xie Shufang: "Send someone to find the princess and reward Yin Jianmen with ten golden cakes."
Yin Ashu was so frightened that he waved his hands hurriedly, "I don't want any reward, and I don't dare ask for your highness's reward."
After a pause, Yin Ashu said timidly: "I am no longer a prison guard...I have no official position now..."
Li Ji looked at Yin Ashu's little expression and wanted to laugh a little.
Li Ji put on a serious face and shouted: "Take it if I give it to you. Do you dare to refuse my reward?"
Yin Ashu immediately shook his head, "No... I dare not..."
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. If you have any news in the future, remember to inform me immediately. As long as your news is valuable to me, I don't mind giving you a little money."
Yin Ashu hurriedly bent down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
Li Ji waved his hand and asked Yin Ah Shu to follow Xie Shufang to receive the reward.
Yin Ah Shu obediently followed Xie Shufang and left the main hall.
Li Ji watched Yin Ashu's back disappear, frowned and said, "I didn't expect that the first person to cause trouble for me would be my good brother."
Li Ji really didn't expect that the first person to cause trouble for him would be Li Jiancheng.
Before he traveled through time, Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng were so close as brothers that they only had to wear a pair of pants.
Historically, although the two brothers had their own thoughts, they were very close on the surface.
Li Jiancheng said that if he attacked him, he would attack him, as if the previous brotherhood did not exist.
"Maybe it was my move to recruit Ling Jing that made him misunderstand me."
Li Ji roughly guessed why Li Jiancheng fell out with him, regardless of any brotherly friendship.
Li Jiancheng obviously misunderstood that he had thoughts about that position through his series of actions, so he fell out with him.
That position was obviously Li Jiancheng's bottom line. He would fall out with anyone who coveted it.
Li Ji was speechless and muttered in his heart, "Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng, do you have a brain problem? Your biggest opponent is Li Shimin! Li Shimin! If you don't mess with Li Shimin, what will happen to me?"
You two are slandering me, do you really think I am a fool?!"
In order to avoid facing Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin head-on, Li Ji decided to disgust them.
Li Ji picked up the pen with malice and quickly wrote on a memorial.
Not long after, a beautifully written memorial was published.
After Xie Shufang sent Yin Ah Shu away, Li Ji asked Xie Shufang to quickly send the memorial to Li Yuan.
Li Ji's memorial to Li Yuan is not worthy of being read by my subordinates.
As Li Yuan's legitimate son, Li Ji had the right to directly write to Li Yuan.
When the memorial was delivered to Li Yuan, Li Yuan was having fun with Pei Ji.
In order to relieve the pain caused by Li Ji, Li Yuan and Pei Ji enjoyed a day of singing and dancing in the Liangyi Hall.
Various beauties came one after another, and when they met the one who was attractive, they immediately stayed to serve her.
When Liu Jun walked into the Liangyi Palace with Li Ji's memorial with a confused look on his face, Li Yuan was holding two beauties in his arms and was winking and commenting that the two beauties in Pei Ji's arms were not as good-looking as him.
Not to be outdone, Pei Ji immediately asked the four beauties to undress and take off their belts to compare their figures to see who was better.
"Everyone……"
Liu Jun did not dare to disturb Li Yuan's elegance. When Li Yuan and Pei Ji were about the same level, he appeared in front of Li Yuan with Li Ji's memorial.
Li Yuan glanced at Liu Jun and saw that Liu Jun was holding a memorial in his hand. He frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you that we won't deal with government affairs today? If there is a memorial, send it to the East Palace and let the prince watch and handle it."
Li Yuan was a generous emperor, generous to his ministers and even more generous to his sons.
After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, in order to better experience the benefits of being an emperor, Li Yuan gave a large part of his power to his two capable sons, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
Local government affairs, as long as they had nothing to do with the war or the appointment of local officials, were handled by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
The government affairs in the court, as long as they had nothing to do with internal disputes in the royal family, as long as they had nothing to do with the appointment of officials above the fifth rank, as long as they had nothing to do with the promotion or demotion of titles, the addition or deletion of households, they were all handled by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
There are only three memorials that can ignore the above and appear in front of Li Yuan.
The first is that Li Yuan's hero is seriously ill, or he has submitted his resignation to Li Yuan.
The second type is the memorials of Li Yuan's sons.
The third type is the memorial of interesting things that happened at the official's home. For example, a certain official was having fun at home, enjoying himself with several wives at once, but suddenly he suddenly became angry.
In Li Yuan's opinion, reading this kind of memorial is far more interesting than reading serious government documents.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Yuan is mediocre.
On the contrary, Li Yuan is quite shrewd.
He generously leaves government affairs to his sons, which on the one hand can reduce his own pressure and on the other hand, it can also show the importance he attaches to his sons.
On the other hand, it is to kill the energy of the sons, so that they have no time to think about what is available and what is not.
