Ling Jing smiled and said flatteringly: "Your Highness is indeed a perfect plan."
Li Yuanji picked up the Ganzhou Emergency Book and read it twice before looking at Ling Jing and smiling: "I remember you are not someone who likes to flatter you?"
Ling Jing clasped his fists respectfully and said frankly: "I'm not trying to flatter you, I feel from the bottom of my heart that Your Highness has done everything possible."
Li Yuanji smiled and said with emotion: "I don't have all the ideas, I just know more than others."
Ling Jing didn't know whether Li Yuanji's "knowing more than others" meant he had more channels to obtain information, or whether he could judge other people's subsequent actions through the clues left by others, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.
.
Li Yuanji put down the urgent letter from Ganzhou and said with a smile: "Since my second brother sent people to Ganzhou and had contact with Chang He, it means that Chang He's time to enter the court is not far away.
How are your arrangements there, and is there any chance of a repeat?"
Although he had long concluded that Chang He would not repeat himself, it was absolutely impossible for him to pin his own safety on whether others would repeat himself.
So after Chang He agreed to work for him, he asked Ling Jing to make some arrangements.
Ling Jing said solemnly: "The person arranged by me has already sneaked into Chang He's command. With money to open the way, he has been promoted to the position of brigade commander and has some influence among the people under Chang He's command.
I also arranged for Chang He's younger brother to serve as an official in your fief.
Chang He should not dare to repeat it."
Li Yuanji pondered: "Chang He cares about his younger brother?"
Ling Jing nodded and said: "Not only do you care about him, but you also love him very much. Mother Chang also cares about her young son very much."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's not safe to arrange for him to be an official in my fiefdom. Let him go to Hebei Province."
Ling Jing cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
Li Yuanji warned: "After Chang He enters the court, you should not have contact with him again, so as not to expose him. When we need him, you can go find him again."
Ling Jing said seriously: "I know the importance."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "There should be news from Qingzhou, right?"
Li Shimin has a lot of people he can use. If he has to support one person to be the guard of Xuanwu Gate, he doesn't have to choose Chang He.
The reason why I found Chang He was definitely because I wanted to use Chang He.
Combined with Li Jiancheng's small move to Qingzhou, it is not difficult to analyze what Li Shimin wanted to use Chang He for.
Li Shimin either wanted to use Chang He to expose Li Jiancheng's little tricks in Qingzhou.
Either he wants to transfer Chang He away and send someone he trusts more to take Chang He's place and guard the border of Qingzhou.
Once Qingzhou makes any move, Li Shimin can easily control it.
Although Li Shimin is only in contact with Chang He now, he has not told Chang He what exactly he needs Chang He to do.
But Li Yuanji had already guessed what Li Shimin was thinking.
If Li Shimin goes to Chang He, there is an 80% chance that it will be the latter.
It is impossible for Li Shimin to waste his power and transfer someone who has little relationship with him for no reason.
Therefore, when Li Shimin approached Chang He now and wanted to transfer Chang He away, it must be because Qingzhou had done something.
"I am about to report this matter to His Highness. The people I sent to Qingzhou have returned news in recent days, saying that Yang Wenqian is recruiting local warriors to expand the army on the pretext that Qingzhou has insufficient troops and horses to deal with the Western Turks' cavalry.
Soldiers and horses.”
Ling Jing reported seriously.
Li Yuanji chuckled, "The excuse Yang Wenqian came up with is really lame. The Western Turks are now suppressed by the Eastern Turks and they don't dare to show their heads at all.
An Xinggui led Ganzhou soldiers and horses to patrol the border from time to time.
How could a Western Turkic roving horse appear in Gyeongju?"
Ling Jing deceived himself and said: "Yang Wenqian said there is, so there should be."
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, but did not say anything more on this issue, but ordered: "Qingzhou's armor is limited, and Qingzhou's soldiers are not enough, let alone Yang Wenqian's newly recruited soldiers and horses.
So I guess that after Yang Wenqian recruits enough soldiers and horses, he will definitely find a way to help them get a suit of armor.
Ask your subordinates to watch carefully and let me know as soon as Yang Wenqian starts planning armor for the newly recruited troops."
Ling Jing bowed and said, "Here."
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more.
Ling Jing didn't stay long. After bowing and bowing, he exited the main room of the monastery.
After Ling Jing left, Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled.
Li Jiancheng was also quite unlucky. He finally got some blood and wanted to recruit troops to do something big, but the henchman he sent out turned out to be a traitor.
The traitor has probably sold him out before he left Chang'an.
In his eyes, everything he did was secretive and exciting.
In Li Shimin's eyes, there was no secret in everything he did.
Li Shimin had already begun to make arrangements before the people he arranged were fully established.
He was destined to be plotted to death by Li Shimin.
The rest depends on how much he loses.
…
Two days later.
Beside the waterfall on the mountainside of Jiulongtan Mountain.
Yu Wenbao held a horizontal sword in his hand, slashing and slashing like a tiger.
Li Yuanji, dressed in an autumn shirt, sat in the thatched hut with Li Xiaogong, who was wearing a dark robe. He held a hot kettle in one hand and held the tea bowl in front of Li Xiaogong with the other, making a bowl of red dates and barley tea for Li Xiaogong.
The tea was brought by Li Xiaogong, and the tea recipe was prescribed by Sun Simiao.
The main function is to help Li Xiaogong remove moisture from the body.
Li Yuanji is not very interested in this kind of medicinal tea. He prefers to drink fried tea, but the method of frying tea has been taught to the people in the family for a long time, and the people in the family have not made fried tea.
So Li Yuanji could only dry the autumn chrysanthemums and make tea.
"Huhu..."
Li Yuanji picked up the hot tea cup and blew in small sips.
Li Xiaogong used the bamboo spoon used to serve wine to sweeten a spoonful of cold wine into his teacup, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Yuanji's mouth twitched as he looked at it.
If Sun Simiao knew that Li Xiaogong used the tea recipe he prescribed, he would probably blow his beard and stare in anger.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Boom..."
After Li Xiaogong finished drinking the tea, he knocked the tea cup on the low table and hummed: "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you will either commit adultery or steal."
Li Yuanji put down the teacup and said, "I'm not showing any courtesy either."
Li Xiaogong took the wine jar next to him, took a swig, and said disdainfully: "From the time I met you until now, you have never served anyone tea."
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, "Isn't that because my tea art is not proficient enough?"
Li Xiaogong snorted and ignored Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji pondered and said: "What do you think of Pingcheng Hou's sword skills?"
Li Xiaogong put down the wine jar, picked up a piece of cold venison on the low table, cut it with a knife and ate it while looking at Li Yuanji with disdain.
Li Yuanji sighed, "Okay, okay, I admit, I did have an agenda for inviting you here this time."
Li Xiaogong said with disdain: "What I hate most are those of you who don't say it well and insist on showing off."
Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and said quietly: "When you returned to Beijing this time and saw me for the first time, you could pretend more than I did."
Li Xiaogong's face had an expression on his face, and he glared at Li Yuanji fiercely.
Li Yuanji simply doesn't open the pot and pick up the pot.
At that time, he was in a state of confusion. He didn't know whether Li Yuanji was an enemy or a friend, so he naturally had to put on a show to test him out.
Now, Li Yuanji used it as a handle to fight back against him.
"Do you still want to beg me?"
Li Xiaogong asked with wide eyes.
Li Yuanji picked up the tea cup and asked, "How does my cousin know? I have something to ask you for."
Li Xiaogong glanced at Yu Wenbao, who was wielding a knife by the waterfall, with disgust, and said angrily: "You've been letting that idiot wield a knife and a gun by the pool for an hour.
What are you thinking, do you still have to guess?"
Li Yuanji praised: "My cousin is really smart."
Li Xiaogong said angrily: "Stop flattering me. Didn't anyone tell you that when you flatter others, you look very hypocritical?"
Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong cursed again: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just say it, and don't give me any nonsense."
Li Yuanji was very embarrassed and said: "My cousin, what do you think of Pingcheng Hou's martial arts skills? Can he be a prison general under you?"
Ever since Li Xiaogong complied with Li Yuan's wishes and resigned from the post of Chief Manager of Jingzhou and the post of Controlling Yi, Jiao, and Yangzhou, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Xiaogong immediately changed.
From being indifferent, not asking, and not responding, to being in charge, asking, and responding.
Every morning and evening, someone would be sent to give Li Xiaogong food.
From time to time, he would call Li Xiaogong to the palace to enjoy singing and dancing with him. When he saw that he was interested, he would keep sending women to Li Xiaogong's house.
In just a few days, Li Yuan had given Li Xiaogong eighteen maidservants, three musicians, one hundred and seventy-four servants, two imperial palaces, a horse farm, as well as tenants to serve the imperial palace, and horses to serve the horse farm.
Thousands of servants.
Not only that, this morning, Li Yuan also promoted Li Xiaogong to the title of King of Hejian County, added more than a thousand households, 600 attendants, and six sword squads. At the same time, he also appointed Li Xiaogong as the general of Zuojianmen, in charge of Zuojianmen.
Door up and down.
Unlike Li Yi, Qiu He and others who also served as generals of the Twelve Guards and Four Prefectures, Li Xiaogong had real power.
In his hand is half of the Zuojianmen's military talisman given by Li Yuan.
Li Yuanji deliberately arranged for people to join the Twelve Guards and seek important positions, but he could never find a suitable opportunity.
After learning that Li Xiaogong had become a powerful figure in the Twelve Guards and Four Houses, he set his sights on Li Xiaogong.
Li Yuanji originally planned to let Yu Wenbao serve as the guard of Tongguan, but after Yu Wenbao burned the fertile fields outside Chang'an City, his impression on Li Yuan was greatly reduced.
Even if Li Yuanji tries to get a chance for Yu Wenbao, Li Yuan will not appoint Yu Wenbao.
So Li Yuanji planned to let Yu Wenbao go to the left prison gate to hang out first and gain some qualifications. After Li Yuan had a good impression of Yu Wenbao, he would help Yu Wenbao find the post of Tongguan guard general.
