Chapter 0198 The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman becomes lonely
"I know what to do."
Ling Jing bowed and agreed.
Li Yuanji nodded again and glanced at the couch not far away.
Ling Jing understood, walked to the couch, sat down, and began to deal with the government affairs of Qi State.
Li Yuanji also lowered his head and browsed through some government affairs of Hebei Province and Qi State that needed to be handled by him.
…
The next few days.
Apart from meeting Princess Xiangyang again and getting the position of Sima of Songzhou from Dou Dan who was behind Princess Xiangyang, Li Yuanji has been staying in the main hall of Wude Hall, handling the government affairs of Hebei Province and Qi State with Ling Jing.
.
The impeachment of Li Yi became more and more popular.
Except for the people from Prince Qi's palace, almost all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty ended up dead.
Especially after Li Shentong came forward to impeach Li Yi, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost went crazy to impeach Li Yi.
The memorial drifted towards the palace like snowflakes.
In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Shentong was Li Yuan's "spokesperson".
Li Shentong usually didn't go to court very often, and even when he did, he didn't talk much.
But once he opens his mouth to express his opinion on something, it is equivalent to Li Yuan expressing his opinion.
Because from the founding of Li Tang to the present, the opinions expressed by Li Shentong are almost exactly the same as Li Yuan's attitude towards things, and there have been no mistakes.
After Li Yuan's memorials floated into the palace like snowflakes, he ordered people to make a summary of all the memorials, listed several more serious crimes, and sent people to Youzhou in the form of documents.
Although Li Yuan was dissatisfied that Li Yi was not as knowledgeable as Du Fuwei, he also knew that he could not push Li Yi too far, otherwise Li Yi would rebel.
So he planned to use this incident to give Li Yi a beating to see if Li Yi would wake up and learn from Du Fuwei and become more knowledgeable.
Li Jiancheng saw Li Yuan's thoughts, but he did not want to see the position of General Youwuwei fall to Li Shimin, so he went against Li Yuan's thoughts and frantically defended Li Yi.
But the effect was very little, and Li Yuan even secretly scolded him.
After all, Li Yuan and Li Shimin were of the same mind when it came to dealing with Li Yi.
Although Li Jiancheng was the prince and had many officials at his disposal, there was no way he could be a match for Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
Just when Li Jiancheng was having a headache over this, an article quietly appeared on his desk.
After Li Jiancheng read the article, he immediately sent Wang Gui to meet the person who wrote the article.
After Wang Gui met the person and told Li Jiancheng some of the other person's cryptic words, Li Jiancheng took the person into the East Palace and talked with him in depth for several hours.
The next day, Li Jiancheng's people suddenly changed their tune and started impeaching Li Yi.
Li Yuan felt that his secret scolding had an effect, and during the court meeting, he specifically praised the prince for his obedience.
Li Shimin suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Send someone to quickly investigate why Li Jiancheng had such a change.
As a result, before they could find out anything, they found out that the King of Lujiang sent a letter to Li Yuan asking Gao Shilian to go to Xinzhou as an official.
Li Shimin felt that King Lujiang was probably crazy, and he actually dared to ask Li Yuan for the people he had brought with him.
So with a wave of his hand, Li Shimin admitted Gao Shilian to the Xiuwen Guan and invited Qiu He to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.
Li Shimin's attitude was very simple. If King Lujiang dared to care about his people, then he would let King Lujiang get nothing.
No one stopped Li Shimin from incorporating Gao Shilian into the Hongwen Hall.
Because Gao Shilian was an official under Li Shimin, it was not easy for others to ask how Li Shimin arranged for him.
However, Li Shimin's petition to invite Qiu He to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province was blocked by many people.
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Wei Zheng and others opposed it openly or covertly.
Li Gang, who rarely expresses his opinions on such matters, also stood up to oppose this matter for the first time.
The reason is that the officials at Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province are traveling all year round, and Qiu He, who is seventy-one years old, must not be able to bear it.
Therefore, it is not suitable to take up the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War of Daxing, Shaanxi Province.
Li Shimin immediately said bluntly that he only wanted Qiu He to have a name and would not let Qiu He run around.
Someone immediately stood up and said, since it was just a name, why not go to Daxingtai of Hebei Road instead of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province?
Then, many people, including Li Yuan, recognized this statement.
Then Qiu He became the Minister of War in Daxingtai, Hebei Province.
…
Li Yuanji looked confused when Qiu He, who had a lot of white beard and white and brown hair, appeared in the main hall of Wude Hall.
Qiu He was very sensible and rushed to Li Yuanji's house to pay his respects before Li Yuanji received the news.
So much so that Li Yuanji didn't know what he was here for.
"Chen Qiuhe, please see Your Highness."
Qiu He appeared in the main hall of Wude Hall under the guidance of his guards. He did not wait to approach Li Yuanji before bowing from a distance.
Li Yuanji observed Qiu He for a while.
Qiu He has a Han face but half the brown hair of a Hu.
The reason why it was half a head was because Li Yuanji could faintly see more white hair among the brown hair peeking out from under his hat.
He is tall but very thin.
Wearing a purple official uniform, he looks a bit big.
But listening to his deep and steady voice and looking at his rosy complexion, you can tell that he is very healthy.
His body bones should be stronger than those of Qu Tutong, who is five years younger than him.
According to historical records, he seems to have lived nine years longer than Qu Tutong, and he did not die until he was over eighty years old.
Li Yuanji signaled Ling Jing to help Qiu He and asked, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Tan. I remember that I didn't have much interaction with Mr. Tan. Why did Mr. Tan come back to my house to pay homage?"
Qiu He declined Ling Jing's offer to help him, saying that his body was still strong and he could tear leopards and wolves apart.
After Ling Jing stepped aside, he replied with a smile to Li Yuanji's words, "Back to Your Highness, we were discussing matters in Taiji Hall just now. The saint has decided that I will serve as a subordinate officer under His Highness and serve as the first minister of the Ministry of War of Daxingtai, Hebei Province. job.
After I went to court, I immediately came to Wude Hall to pay my respects."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji’s eyes suddenly widened.
I just don’t like going to court, and I don’t like watching the heroes of the Tang Dynasty spitting at each other like rascals. You don’t want to trick me like this, right?
Even if you want to trick me, give me some information in advance.
You made me completely unprepared for this.
"Your Highness...are you dissatisfied with me?"
Qiu He saw Li Yuanji staring and not speaking, so he couldn't help but ask.
There was no timidity or fear in his words, just curiosity.
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He was not dissatisfied with Qiu He, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with those who got Qiu He into his hands.
If Qiu He was a loner, with Qiu He's resume and Qiu He's vitality that could live for more than ten years, he wouldn't mind bringing Qiu He into his house to serve as his arm.
But Qiu He is not alone.
Qiu He probably gave birth to fifteen sons.
Two of them were county officials of the Tang Dynasty.
One is Qiu Xinggong!
One is named Qiu Shili!
Qiu Shili is nothing more than that, Qiu Xinggong is now a loyal member of the King of Qin's party.
Qiu Xinggong can be regarded as representing the Qiu family lineage and took a stand among the three brothers.
Why did he bring Qiu He into his house?
Are you serving as the eyes and ears of the Qin Palace?
Or take Qiu and ask Qiu to pay tribute?
Those who brought Qiu He into his residence, did they think Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were not fighting fiercely enough, so they wanted to drag him into trouble?
"Tan Guogong has made outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He has fifteen sons, all of whom were outstanding figures at that time. His Highness only respects Tan Guogong, so how can he be dissatisfied?"
Ling Jing saw that Li Yuanji seemed a little confused about what to say, so he took the initiative to help Li Yuanji out with a smile.
When Li Yuanji heard Ling Jing's words, he also realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly added, "Ling Jing is right, the Qiu family has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I only respect Mr. Tan.
There will be half a degree of dissatisfaction.”
Qiu He's expression did not change, he was still cheerful.
"I thought His Highness was dissatisfied with me, and I was so frightened that I didn't even know what to say."
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Mr. Tan is joking. I may be able to scare others, but I will never scare Mr. Tan."
Qiu He said with a smile: "I have heard about His Highness's reputation when I was in Jiaozhi. In addition to paying a visit to His Highness, I came here to listen to His Highness's tent.
If Your Highness has any military matters related to Hebei Province that need to be dealt with, you can leave them to me."
Li Yuanji smiled with emotion on his face and said: "There are no military affairs in Hebei Province now, so there is no need for Mr. Tan to do anything. Mr. Tan can rest assured that he can entertain his grandchildren at home."
Qiu He smiled and nodded, and then said: "The saint appointed me as the Minister of War in Daxingtai, Hebei Province, which is a great show of love to me. I still need to do something to repay the saint's love."
Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "Hebei Province has just been sorted out by my army of the Tang Dynasty. There is indeed no military situation. If there is a military situation in the future, I will send someone to ask Mr. Tan to discuss it."
Qiu He cupped his hands and said, "I will be waiting for the good news from His Highness at your residence."
Li Yuanji nodded with a bright smile.
Qiu He said nothing more, apologized, and exited the main hall of Wude Hall.
As soon as Qiu He left, the smile on Li Yuanji's face became much stiffer.
Qiu and Na were here to listen, not just to go through the motions.
Qiu He was sure that he would not hand over the military affairs of Hebei Province to him, and he was unwilling to offend him, so after going to court, he immediately came to see him before the news reached Prince Qi's palace, and completed the formality.
Then you can receive an extra salary from your family with peace of mind.
After Qiu He left, Ling Jing couldn't wait to ask: "What does the saint mean?"
Ling Jing couldn't understand Li Yuan's intention.
It is obviously far-fetched to say that Li Yuan felt threatened by Li Shimin and wanted to force Li Yuanji to go out to fight with Li Shimin.
After all, Li Shimin is not threatening Li Yuan now, but is 'beating' Li Yi with Li Yuan.
It was impossible for Li Yuan to go against Li Yuanji's wishes at this time and force Li Yuanji out at the risk of being contradicted by Li Yuanji.
Because it's not necessary.
It is possible that Li Jiancheng felt threatened by Li Shimin and wanted to drag Li Yuanji out to challenge Li Shimin.
But even if Li Jiancheng had this intention, if Li Yuan didn't nod, he would not be able to override Li Yuan and decide where Qiu He should go.
After all, Qiu He's official titles were beyond the scope that Li Jiancheng could appoint on his own.
