When others went to war and returned from a great victory, the emperor personally welcomed them, the prince personally welcomed them, and all the civil and military officials personally welcomed them, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not say anything inappropriate.
When it comes to Li Xiuning, is everything inappropriate?
He clearly cares that Li Xiuning is a female prostitute.
Li Yuanji wanted to teach the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Rites a few words, but Li Shimin spoke first.
Li Shimin said coldly: "If Mr. Wu feels something is wrong, you can go back first."
The doctor from the Ministry of Rites, who was trying to persuade Li Jiancheng, his expression froze.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng again and said, "If you feel something is wrong, you can go back first."
Li Jiancheng seemed not to feel the coldness in Li Shimin's words, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Wu Langzhong also speaks out according to etiquette, so why should you criticize him harshly?"
All the upright princelings nodded one after another, thinking that the prince was benevolent.
Li Shimin just glanced at Li Jiancheng and Wu Langzhong and said nothing more.
"Pssssssss..."
Li Xiaogong didn't know when he came to Li Yuanji's side, pursing his lips, and whispered: "Your second brother is getting more and more powerful..."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Xiaogong and said nothing.
Li Xiaogong came a little closer and sighed in a low voice: "He is not as sharp as before, and people can't guess his thoughts."
Li Yuanji turned his head, looked at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Li Xiaogong said with emotion: "He is getting more and more powerful, but you have not changed much. You are getting further and further away from him."
Li Yuanji said: "What then?"
Li Xiaogong glanced at Li Yuanji and sighed: "You are increasingly no match for him."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and said, "You have been hiding from me for more than a month, and now you are no longer hiding, just to tell me this?"
Li Xiaogong didn't pay attention to Li Yuanji's reaction. He curled his lips at Li Yuanji and motioned Li Yuanji to look behind Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, "Look at them, then look at you..."
Li Yuanji glanced sideways at the donkey-like civil and military figures behind Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and then thought about the three or two kittens behind him, and instantly felt his liver ache.
Li Xiaogong was heartbroken.
"Before you hid from me, didn't you say you wanted to give me an explanation? How is it now?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong and asked.
Li Xiaogong's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yuanji several times, and said angrily: "Asking even though you know it!"
In order to deal with Li Daliang, Li Xiaogong used many old troops and struggled for more than a month.
Then Li Daliang went from being the pacifier and governor of Anzhou to the general manager of Yuezhou.
Not only was it not eliminated, it was promoted.
Li Xiaogong is now so depressed that he wants to vomit blood.
"Do you want my help?"
Li Yuanji had a bad opinion of Li Daliang. Since Li Xiaogong couldn't deal with Li Daliang, he didn't mind helping him.
Li Xiaogong said sarcastically: "How dare you go against your second brother?"
Li Daliang once received a reward during Li Shimin's northern tour and was able to talk to Li Shimin. When he realized that Li Xiaogong was going to deal with him, he immediately went through Li Shimin's path and joined Tiance Mansion and became Tiance.
A member of the government.
Li Daliang also relied on Li Shimin's blessing to escape Li Xiaogong's "sanctions" and was promoted.
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "I'm just trying to deal with Li Daliang. You can't talk about going against my second brother, right?"
Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "You have no idea why your second brother wants to protect Li Daliang. If you knew, you would never say that."
Li Shimin spent a lot of money to protect Li Daliang this time.
Not only did he help Li Daliang block Li Xiaogong at the risk of becoming enemies with Li Xiaogong, but he also used a lot of force to help Li Daliang get promoted.
Li Daliang was just a governor before. Although he was also a big official, he was still far behind the general manager.
If Li Shimin wanted to push Li Daliang up, it would not be as easy as just using his words.
A certain price must be paid.
Li Shimin is not a bad person. He spent so much money on Li Daliang, and it is obvious that he wants to get more things from Li Daliang.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Isn't it just to plant the straight flag south of the river?"
This kind of thing is not difficult to guess.
Just look at Li Shimin’s past and you’ll know.
Everywhere Li Shimin went, he would develop some of his own people.
Today, there are people from Li Shimin everywhere north of the Yangtze River.
There are none only south of the Yangtze River.
The area south of the Yangtze River used to be divided by a group of heroes, but it was conquered by Li Xiaogong last year. Li Shimin had not had time to develop his own people, and it was not good for him to touch Li Xiaogong's brow when Li Xiaogong was in power.
Now Li Xiaogong has resigned from the position of Grand Administrator of Jingzhou, as well as many other official positions in charge of various places south of the river.
Li Shimin no longer has to take care of Li Xiaogong.
Li Daliang took the initiative to show up at this moment, and Li Shimin naturally made him his own without hesitation.
Li Xiaogong was surprised, "You know?"
Li Yuanji said funnyly: "It's not difficult to guess."
Li Xiaogong's thoughts changed quickly and he said: "Since you know, then you should know what Li Daliang means to your second brother."
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
The flag, of course, must be protected.
Otherwise, who of those people south of the river who are watching would dare to attach themselves to Li Shimin?
"You still dare to touch him?"
Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuanji deeply and asked.
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "What is there that you dare not move?"
Li Xiaogong narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you afraid of confronting your second brother and being misunderstood by your second brother?"
There were some words that Li Xiaogong couldn't express clearly, but he felt that Li Yuanji should understand what he meant.
Li Yuanji smiled and said, "What misunderstanding can there be?"
Li Xiaogong's voice rose a little higher, "What do you think?"
Li Yuanji slowly shook his head, "There won't be any misunderstanding."
The wind that started a few months ago is about to make waves.
Li Shimin couldn't care about Li Daliang anymore.
Li Xiaogong was about to speak, but Li Yuanji took the lead and said, "If I can't move him and you can't move him, will you be willing to do it?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head stiffly.
He, a county prince with real power, was used as a weapon by a governor and could not take revenge. How could he be willing to do so?
Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "Since you are not willing to give in, then deal with him."
Li Xiaogong glanced at where Li Shimin was, "Aren't you afraid..."
Li Yuanji shook his head slightly before Li Xiaogong finished speaking.
"I treat my cousin with sincerity, and I hope that my cousin can treat me with sincerity. There is no need to say anything else."
Li Xiaogong didn't understand the meaning of Li Yuanji's words, but felt that Li Yuanji's words were full of profound meaning, and said in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
Li Yuanji just smiled and said nothing.
Li Xiaogong suppressed the confusion in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you want to do, I just hope you don't get yourself involved because of me."
The reason why Li Xiaogong didn't ask Li Yuanji for help was because he was afraid that Li Yuanji would confront Li Shimin because of Li Daliang's matter.
Li Yuanji's identity is different from his.
If Li Yuanji and Li Shimin faced off, it would most likely be a life and death battle.
He didn't want Li Yuanji to fight to the death with Li Shimin because of him.
Because he knew how different the power in Li Yuanji's hands was from the power in Li Shimin's hands.
It is not an exaggeration to say it is an egg or a stone.
He didn't want Li Yuanji to die because of him.
"My cousin thinks too much. How could I put myself in it for my cousin?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly.
Li Xiaogong was hesitant and muttered, "I hope so..."
"Stop talking, my sister and the others are back."
Li Yuanji saw a black cloud in the distance, touching the ground and approaching slowly, and immediately reminded Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong decisively shut his mouth.
"play music……"
Li Jiancheng gave instructions in a low voice.
Twelve musicians worked hard to play the generous return song.
The soldiers returning from the expedition marched slowly forward to the tune of their homecoming song.
When the Angelica song finished playing one verse, the soldiers appeared in front of everyone.
The leader is the Three Thousand Iron Armors from Prince Qi's Mansion.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a black cloud.
At the head of the group were hundreds of giant men who were taller than an average person. He carried a giant blade on his back, and the handle of the giant blade passed over the giant man's head by more than two feet.
Behind the giant man were more than two thousand armored soldiers carrying strange weapons that were ten feet long.
They look like a group of warriors, and they feel very oppressive.
"When did our Tang Dynasty have such a powerful and shocking army?"
Someone spoke subconsciously.
Such questions also popped up in other people's minds.
Only a few people who knew the inside story subconsciously glanced at Li Yuanji's location.
In the world, the only ones who use such weird weapons are the Paidao Camp and the Long Dao Army of the former Wu Prince's Mansion.
Now it should be called the Paidao Camp and Long Dao Army of Prince Qi's Mansion.
Li Jiancheng smiled and said to Li Shimin, who was standing not far from him: "Shimin, Yuan Ji has so many warriors under his command. It is really a blessing to the Tang Dynasty.
What do you think?"
Li Shimin's face didn't change at all, he just nodded lightly and said: "Brother makes sense."
Li Jiancheng smiled and sighed: "I just don't know what my ability is. Is it better than gold or jade?"
Li Shimin said calmly: "Brother, do you want to take the first or second exam in school?"
Li Jiancheng shook his head without hesitation, "Most of my subordinates are civil servants, and there are no equal warriors who can compete with them. However, there are many equal warriors in your family. Why not find an opportunity to take the first or second test in school?"
"I have often heard that the Xuanjia Army under the command of His Highness King Qin is the first army of the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know which one is stronger or weaker compared with this long sword army that escaped from Prince Wu's Mansion."
Wei Zheng smiled and helped Li Jiancheng deliver the message.
Wang Gui also said happily: "The battle between two tiger and wolf warriors will be extremely exciting. I can't wait to see it now."
"Me too……"
"If I could see the tigers and wolves of the Tang Dynasty fighting, this life would be enough."
"..."
All the princelings spoke one after another.
Li Shimin looked around at the princelings without saying a word.
On the contrary, Qu Tutong said in a loud voice: "The sharp weapon of the country is to drive away the enemy, not to have fun. If you want to have fun, you can go to the Jiaofang Division. Don't make nonsense here and humiliate the strong men."
