Li Yuanji knew what Qu Tutong was going to say, so he raised his hand and interrupted Qu Tutong's words, saying: "Since you have made a decision, just go ahead and don't say anything to me."
Since Qu Tutong has decided to stay with Li Shimin and work for Li Shimin, there is nothing more to say.
Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and said, "I have let down His Highness's hard work. I feel really sorry."
Li Yuanji smiled calmly, "You are not mine. The path I pointed out to you may be a path that will harm you. You didn't choose it. It's normal. It's not like you failed to live up to my hard work."
As for feeling sorry, that's even more inappropriate.
You are half a century older than me and have experienced far more things than I have.
Your ideas may be more mature and stable than mine.
Just follow your own ideas, there's nothing to feel bad about."
Qu Tutong wanted to say something else, but Li Yuanji picked up the wine cup and handed it to Qu Tutong.
It's Sanlejiang. Although it doesn't taste very good, it has a higher alcohol content than sweet wine.
Qu Tutong was old, and after drinking half the bottle, his face already had two clusters of blush.
Li Yuanji drank half a cup with Qu Tutong without saying a word.
When Qu Tutong felt that he had almost finished drinking, he stood up suddenly and said angrily: "I have betrayed your highness's friendship. I have no shame to come to your highness's house again. If your highness can use me, just send someone."
Just go to the minister's house and say it."
After saying this, Qu Tutong bowed solemnly and walked out without looking back.
Li Yuanji looked at Qu Tutong's figure gradually blending into the night, and sighed secretly.
He has been in Datang for almost a year and has already made half a dozen friends.
Now half of my friends are gone.
I felt a little unhappy.
"The field of power is really not a place for people to stay..."
Li Yuanji sighed and drank alone.
…
The next day.
After dawn.
As agreed, Li Yuanji sent a letter to Xue Wanshu, asking Xue Wanshu to resign from the post of General Zuojianmen.
Xue Wanshu's resignation was just handed in in the morning, and she got a reply in the afternoon.
Li Yuan'en was right and criticized Xue Wanshu, saying that Xue Wanshu was a little ignorant.
With Li Yuan's words, Xue Wanshu will not be able to be promoted to an important position in a short time.
After discussing with Xue Wanshu, Li Yuanji decided to appoint Xue Wanjun as the general of Youtun Guard, guarding the inner gate.
After handing his name to Li Shimin, he quietly waited for the news.
When the autumn frost fell and news of Li Xiuning's victory spread back to Chang'an City, Xue Wanjun successfully took up the post of General Youtunwei on the recommendation of Changsun Shunde.
Before Xue Wanjun's buttocks were still warm, Pei Ji wrote a letter to impeach Kan Leng, listing three crimes against Kan Leng, and the words were meaningful.
Other officials also wrote letters to impeach Kan Leng.
However, in order to avoid offending Li Yuanji and causing Li Yuanji to lose his temper, whether it was Pei Ji or other officials, when they impeached Kan Leng, they only focused on what Kan Leng did and did not mention the relationship between Kan Leng and Prince Qi's house at all.
Relationship.
"Your Highness, there is a lot of excitement in the government and the public right now, and Commander Kan's army may not be able to escape this disaster. Should we help Commander Kan's army?"
In a pavilion with straw curtains hanging on all sides outside the monastery, Ling Jing asked worriedly while helping Li Yuanji make tea.
Tea is fried tea. After months of hard work and inviting several professionals to study together, it was finally fried.
In order to make Li Yuanji's tea taste more delicious, the tea maids and tea makers specially used some secrets when frying the tea, and mixed in some dried flowers.
So after the tea is brewed, it not only has the aroma of tea, but also the aroma of flowers.
It's late autumn.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the small stove, cooking a cup of tea filled with floral fragrance, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and admiring the red dry branches and red mountains, it is a unique experience.
Li Yuanji took the letter Li Xiuning gave him, and while reading it, he said: "Kan Leng violated my father's prohibition by massacring the city. Even if we help, Kan Leng will be punished.
It is better to watch quietly and remain silent.
The officials can't figure out our thoughts, and they don't dare to embarrass us too much."
In this kind of matter, it is better to be still than to move.
The officials were not sure whether the Qi Palace would defend Kan Leng to the death, so they did not dare to impeach Kan Leng unscrupulously.
Because if they were cruel enough to put Kan Leng to death, and Prince Qi's palace suddenly jumped out and blocked him, not only would they not be able to succeed, but they would also offend Prince Qi's palace.
It's not easy to offend Prince Qi's Mansion.
Especially after the war against Fu Gongyou is over, it will be even harder to offend him in a short period of time.
Because in the war that just ended, although the people of Prince Qi's Mansion made mistakes, they were also generous and brilliant.
Kan Leng of the Prince of Qi's Mansion destroyed Danyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty established by Fu Gongyou; Su Dingfang of the Prince of Qi's Mansion captured the leader of the thieves Fu Gongyou alive in a mountain in Xuancheng.
It can be said that the people of Prince Qi's Mansion carried half of the banner of the war against Fu Gongyou and achieved the most abundant results.
So much so that Li Xiuning, the coach who presided over the war, and Li Jing, who was responsible for nearly 60% of the war work, became foils.
Prince Qi's Mansion now has a great success. If the master of Prince Qi's Mansion goes crazy and kills someone, Li Yuan will probably turn a blind eye and pretend not to see anything.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Ling Jing was still worried.
In both the government and the public, there is no shortage of official fanatics, nor of people who have no brains and are easily manipulated.
If someone wants to embarrass Prince Qi's Mansion or put Kan Leng to death, he doesn't necessarily have to do it himself, let alone offend Prince Qi's Mansion.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said calmly: "Don't worry, if someone really wants to take the opportunity to kill Kan Leng, I won't remain indifferent."
Although Li Yuanji kept saying that he didn't care about Kan Leng when he was making exchanges with Li Shimin.
But when Kan Leng is really in danger of his life, he will definitely come to the rescue.
After all, he can count the number of people he can use with both hands, and he will not give up on anyone easily.
"Instead of Kan Leng, you should help me analyze and analyze how to deal with my sister."
Li Yuanji raised the letter in his hand and felt a little headache.
Li Xiuning was full of ambition this time, leading thousands of troops and a group of famous or unknown warriors in history to attack the Southeast Road with great momentum.
She vowed to fight a good fight for Li Yuan and the world. Let’s see that her daughter’s body will not lose to any man’s body.
As a result, before people even left Luoyang, the capital built by the bandit leader was captured.
As soon as they arrived at the junction of Henan Road and Southeast Road, the leader of the bandits was captured alive, and the war was over.
Li Xiuning not only caught nothing, but also wasted a lot of food and grass.
The warriors under his command now looked at Li Xiuning with strange eyes.
Through Li Xiuning's letter, Li Yuanji could clearly feel the way the warriors under Li Xiuning looked at Li Xiuning, and he could even guess their inner reactions.
It's probably like, 'Sister, you promised to take us out to get some credit, but you took us a long way, and before we got there, we had to go back the way we came.'
Li Xiuning was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. She wrote a letter asking Li Yuanji if he had done it intentionally.
He deliberately fought for an opportunity for her to go on the expedition, and then let his own people take all the credit before she could arrive.
Li Yuanji was also very depressed. He really didn't mean it.
He was just afraid that after Li Xiuning arrived at Southeast Road, he would not have enough manpower, or if he did not check anyone, the boat would capsize in the ditch, so he sent Kan Leng and Su Dingfang to Hebei Road to prepare to help Li Xiuning.
Who knew that Li Xiuning's men had not left Chang'an City, so he issued an order to Kan Leng and Su Dingfang to join the war.
Who knew that Fu Gongyou would be so careless, that he didn't wait for the imperial army to arrive, and had a good fight with the imperial court, but was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Li Jing, Li Daliang, Ren Wei, Su Dingfang, and Kan Leng.
Who knows?
"Your Highness Princess, this time..."
When Li Xiuning was mentioned, Ling Jing temporarily put aside the matter of Kan Leng and started laughing and crying. He didn't know what to say.
Li Xiuning's experience in conquering Fu Gongyou this time is indeed dumbfounding.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has never experienced such a war that ended before the commander arrived.
So Ling Jing didn't know how to evaluate it at all.
Li Yuanji said depressedly: "My sister is very angry right now. Please hurry up and think of a way for me to deal with it."
Ling Jing smiled bitterly and said: "I am not qualified to interfere in the conflict between Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess."
Li Yuanji glared at Ling Jing, "I asked you to intervene, then you can intervene."
Ling Jing shook his head without hesitation and said: "I can't do anything to Her Royal Highness, and I can't think of any way to calm Her Majesty's anger, so I won't interfere."
Li Yuanji still wanted to force Ling Jing, but then he saw Li Xiaogong barging into the pavilion, picking up the steaming scented tea on the table, taking a sip, and pushing Ling Jing to the side arrogantly.
He said: "Silang, what you did this time is a bit unethical..."
Li Yuanji's eyes lingered on the tea cup that Li Xiaogong drank from, and he decided to pack it up for Li Xiaogong and take it away later.
Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Li Xiaogong urged: "You should speak up."
Li Yuanji said suspiciously: "I haven't done anything to feel sorry for my cousin. I really don't know what's wrong with me, so I don't know what to say."
Li Xiaogong glared and said: "Li Jing and Li Daliang worked hard, spent countless soldiers, horses, and money to force Fugong You step by step into the mountains of Xuancheng.
As a result, Su Dingfang, your subordinate, suddenly rushed out without even saying hello, captured Fugongyou and ran away.
Are you not speaking authentically?"
Li Yuanji suddenly realized that it turned out to be about what happened on the southeast battlefield.
"This matter is not as simple as my cousin said, right?"
Li Yuanji knew more or less about the process of Su Dingfang's capture of Xia Fu Gongyou.
Su Dingfang wrote a letter, and Li Xiuning also mentioned it in his letter.
