"If you have this kind of heart, you will be very satisfied as a father. You have a brain disease and are in the process of recuperation. It is really not suitable for you to work on an expedition."
Li Yuan nodded slowly and said, he was not crazy, there was no way he would agree to Li Yuanji's outrageous request and let Li Yuanji use a crossbow to kill mosquitoes.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin again and hummed: "You recommended Yuan Ji to go because you don't want to go?"
Just as Li Shimin was about to talk, Li Yuan said again: "If you don't want to go, you can say it clearly. There is no need to beat around the bush and push Yuan Ji out."
"My son..."
Li Shimin opened his mouth to defend himself.
Li Yuan didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish speaking, and said without hesitation: "Then let Yuchi Gong go and give him three hundred elite soldiers."
Li Shimin shrank.
Li Yuanji laughed unabashedly, his smile was full of schadenfreude, and he almost shouted "Father is wise".
I let you trick me, now I'm caught.
The number of soldiers and horses under Yang Wenqian's command numbered ten thousand.
Even if Yuchi Gong was good at fighting, he would not be able to defeat Yang Wenqian with just three hundred elite soldiers.
Besides, Qingzhou is Yang Wenqian's home court, and Yang Wenqian has an absolute geographical advantage.
Qingzhou is now experiencing heavy snowfall, and the Qingzhou soldiers under Yang Wenqian must know how to fight in such a season.
The three hundred elite soldiers led by Yuchi Gong had to adapt to the environment and climate after arriving in Gyeongju.
Yang Wenqian once again had the advantage of time.
Of the three things, Yang Wenqian had the right time, place, and people, and he had two of them, and he also had an advantage in military strength.
How did Yang Wenqian lose?
How can Yuchi Gong win?
It seems that Li Yuan sent Yuchi Gong to attack Yang Wenqian, but in fact he sent Yuchi Gong to die.
Li Shimin could use internal support to allow Yuchi Gong to capture Yang Wenqian without any bloodshed.
The question is, after capturing Yang Wenqian, how should he explain it to Li Yuan?
Say Yang Wenqian is mine?
Are you saying that most of the generals and commanders under Yang Wenqian are also my people?
Does everything Yang Wenqian did in Qingzhou have anything to do with you?
Then Yang Wenqian wanted to rebel, or had already rebelled. Was it your instruction?
If Li Jiancheng stood up at this time and said that he had been deceived and bewitched by traitors, and that he only wanted to recruit some young men in Qingzhou to enhance the combat effectiveness of Prince Liuli, everything else that happened in Qingzhou had nothing to do with him.
nor.
So, is Li Shimin responsible for most of what happened in Gyeongju?
Will Li Jiancheng take the opportunity to fight back, or beat up the drowned dog?
If Li Shimin really agreed to let Yuchi Gong go on the expedition, then he would have only two choices left.
Either sacrifice Yuchi Gong and save yourself.
Either he could save Wei Chi Gong, and he would be made things difficult for himself by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
"Although Gyeongdeok is good at fighting, the affairs in Gyeongju are complicated, and my father wants to clean up all the insiders in Gyeongju, so Gyeongdeok may not be able to do it.
It’s better for you, my son, to go.”
Li Yuanji could analyze it, and so could Li Shimin.
Li Yuan had forced him to the point where he had no choice but to agree to lead the army on the expedition.
Li Yuan smiled mockingly, "Wouldn't it be over if I had agreed earlier? It would have cost me so many words."
Li Shimin didn't know whether he was unwilling or gritting his teeth in humiliation.
Li Yuan added: "Since you like Yuchi Gong so much, then take Yuchi Gong with you. I will send General Qian Jiulong of the Military Guard and Yang Shidao, the Governor of Lingzhou, to lead troops to assist you."
Li Shimin bowed and said, "Thank you very much, father."
Li Yuan nodded, glanced at Li Jiancheng subconsciously, and let out a long sigh in his heart.
In fact, it is most appropriate for Li Jiancheng to lead the troops in this matter.
Because it was Li Jiancheng who caused the disaster, it was Li Jiancheng's responsibility to solve it.
But Li Jiancheng never said a word from beginning to end about leading troops to conquer Yang Wenqian.
He dared to cause trouble but was unwilling to settle the matter. How could Li Yuan trust him and hand over the kingdom of Tang Dynasty to him.
"You are such a rebellious son. When I was fighting with your two brothers, you not only did not add fuel to the fire, but you also entered the palace to help us ease the relationship. You are still a bit like a son and a brother."
Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji again and praised Li Yuanji in a rare way. Even though the one who kept his mouth shut was still the traitor, "Tell me about it. If you want any reward, as long as it's not too much, my father can agree to it."
When Li Yuanji heard that there was something good about it, he immediately became smart and said, "The elder gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it, so I won't be polite."
fantuantanshu
Li Yuanji looked playful and smiling.
Li Yuan showed a rare cheerful smile, "You are such a traitor, when have you ever been polite to me? The last time I made a fool of myself in the Tai Chi Hall and slapped my father on the face in public, I didn't see you being polite either."
Li Yuanji grinned and said, "That's because, father, you have a big belly and don't care about me as your son."
Li Yuan smiled and glared at Li Yuanji, "Don't be a good boy here! Tell me what reward you want. If you tell me too late, I will regret it."
Li Yuanji said unceremoniously: "I intend to make some money for drinking and eating meat through water transportation, but the goods I obtain from various places in Hebei Province can only be transported to Luoyang, not Chang'an.
I hope my father can give me a warrant so that my goods can be transported to Chang'an."
As for why goods from various places in Hebei Province can only be transported to Luoyang and not to Chang'an, Li Yuanji does not need to say more, Li Yuan will also understand.
Because this section of water transport is under the control of Shaanxi East Road Daxing Taiwan, Li Shimin needs to speak up.
Li Yuanrao looked at Li Shimin thoughtfully and said sarcastically: "Erlang, you can do it. Your brother wants to earn some money for drinking and eating meat, so you have to stop him."
Li Shimin was extremely depressed and had the urge to hang Li Yuanji up and beat him up.
Li Yuanji's ship was traveling from Luoyang to Chang'an. When did he stop it?
When had the officials in charge of water transportation under him ever made a stumbling block?
Isn't it okay for him to have a conflict with Li Yuanji over something like water transportation?
His officials in charge of water transportation don't have the guts to embarrass Li Yuanji's ship, okay?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Father's words are serious, but I have never stopped the fourth brother's ship from Luoyang to Chang'an."
Li Shimin said depressedly.
Li Yuan was stunned and looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously.
Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shimin added, "As far as I know, none of the boats on the fourth brother's house have arrived at Luoyang so far, let alone rushed from Luoyang to Chang'an."
Li Yuan became even more suspicious.
Li Yuanji smiled dryly and said: "Be prepared, and be prepared."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Li Yuanji and said angrily: "Don't mention the matter of catching wind and shadow again in the future. I will issue an order later to separate part of the responsibilities of the Yamen in charge of water transportation and give it to you alone."
Li Yuan was so arrogant and generous to his son.
When his son wanted to earn money for drinking and eating meat through water transportation, he did not hesitate to deprive his son of part of his powers from the yamen that was in charge of water transportation, opening a big hole for his son.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin felt something was wrong, but they opened their mouths but said nothing.
Li Yuanji's move was only focused on making money, and he did not seek power or expand his troops, so it did not have much impact on them.
If Li Yuanji makes money, they will all be complaining.
Then Li Yuan will seriously re-examine them.
It is unacceptable for a biological brother to just make some money from his own family business. So after he ascends the throne, he must not kill his biological brother?
"Thank you father, but I don't have the right person to supervise this matter."
Li Yuanji felt happy in his heart, but his face looked very embarrassed.
Li Yuan did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and said in a nonchalant manner: "You two are capable of producing many people, and you are brothers.
Aren’t you going to do something to help your brother?”
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked a little unhappy.
Li Yuan's face darkened, "For you two rebellious sons, Yuan Ji did not hesitate to enter the palace even though he was sick to speak for you. Don't you even have the slightest expression?"
Weren't you very generous just now?
Now you're pretending to be deaf and dumb again?"
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin heard this, they knew it would be impossible without bloodletting.
Li Jiancheng immediately gritted his teeth and said: "The warrior Yi in the Erchen Palace has previously served as a household servant under the fourth brother, so he should be able to be a good companion with the fourth brother.
My son is willing to let him help his fourth brother."
Li Shimin said solemnly: "The counselor in the son's residence, Samurai Rang, is Samurai Yi's younger brother. If they work together, they should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Yuan's face was still a little dark, "Then do you want me to transfer Samurai Leng and Samurai Xun to Yuanji Mansion so that they can join together as brothers?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin hunched over and did not speak to each other.
Li Yuanji stared in shock.
There is something wrong with you three, father and son.
You brought the Wu family's short-lived ghosts into my house because you wanted to kill me.
I don't want to have anything to do with that crazy bitch Wu Mei.
"Father...this matter..."
Li Yuanji refused without hesitation.
Samurai Leng is Wu Mei's uncle, Samurai Yi is Wu Mei's second uncle, Samurai Rang is Wu Mei's third uncle, and Samurai Yu is Wu Mei's father.
Almost all short-lived ghosts were wiped out at the beginning of Zhenguan.
As a result, when Wu Mei was fighting for power, she had no one to rely on and could only use some incompetent brothers at home.
Li Yuan didn't wait for Li Yuanji to finish his words before he made up his mind, "Humph, it seems that you two have made up your mind. That's it. However, Warrior Xun is now serving as the general manager of Jingzhou and it is not appropriate to transfer. Warrior Leng is also dedicated.
He can't do anything to help Yuanji with farm work.
Just send samurai Yi and samurai to help Yuanji supervise water transportation.
Samurai Leng can go to Yuanji's newly established Tanshan Library to serve as a doctor of agriculture."
Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "Father, the three brothers of the Wu family are not low in official rank. They are all sent to my house to serve as minor officials. Isn't it a bit insulting to the talents?"
Li Yuan glared and taught Li Yuanji a serious lesson, "You must remember, no matter how talented a person is, it is an honor to be used by our father and son."
Li Yuan didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said such arrogant, domineering and unreasonable words.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked deeply convinced.
