Li Yuanji had a full understanding of Li Jing and knew that Li Jing was not easily subdued, so he was mentally prepared to spend a long time subduing Li Jing.
So I don't mind that Li Jing has some resistance now.
After all, he is also a man who is regarded as the military god of the Tang Dynasty. It is understandable that he has a little temper. If he is so easy to be subdued, then he is not Li Jing, and he should be called Lu Bu instead.
After all, among the fierce men in history, only Lu Bu, the God of War of the Three Surnames, was the easiest to be subdued. He liked to call everyone daddy when he saw him.
It's just that the fate of being his father is not good. "It seems that His Highness values Li Jing very much." Xue Wanshu couldn't help but sigh.
Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanshu and said with a smile: "Although you have not been with Li Jing for a long time, you should know something about Li Jing. Don't you think Li Jing should be valued by me?"
Xue Wanshu said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Putting aside all of Li Jing's past achievements, the Ten Strategies of Ping Liang written by Li Jing to Li Yuan alone was enough for him to write a word of "faith" for Li Jing.
Although Li Jing did not lead the battle of Pingliang, he was in a strategically dominant position. It can be said that the battle of Pingliang was based on Li Jing's Ten Strategies for Pingliang.
Strategic layout and strategic control are necessary conditions for an excellent commander.
In other words, Li Jing is a commander-in-chief. He is also an excellent commander.
As for how good he is, it depends on whether Li Jing has the opportunity to lead a battle and whether he can achieve amazing results.
He believed that he was not a commander-in-chief, and under the same conditions in the future, his achievements would definitely not be as good as Li Jing's, so he admired Li Jing's ability and recognized Li Yuanji's kindness to Li Jing.
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuanji smiled and praised: "You are honest and direct."
Xue Wanshu did not belittle Li Jing because of his passiveness and sabotage in Hebei Province. Instead, he recognized Li Jing's ability. This shows that Xue Wanshu's character is quite good.
Li Yuanji accompanied Xue Wanshu and Ling Jing to chat for a while about many matters in Hebei Province. A guard trotted into the small martial arts arena and bowed to report.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince of Hejian County wishes to see you."
Li Yuanji laughed and said to Xue Wanshu and Ling Jing: "My cousin has become polite when he arrived. He wouldn't have been so polite before. He would have barged in regardless."
Xue Wanshu and Ling Jing looked at each other, smiled and said nothing. Can you be polite?
You have already sent people to his house to punish him. If he is rude, why don't you eat him?
"Please come in!" Li Yuanji ordered with a smile. The guard bowed and exited the small martial arts arena.
Not long after, Li Xiaogong and Li Xiaogong appeared in the small martial arts arena again.
Coincidentally, the food and wine prepared by Li Yuanji were also served at this time. Li Xiaogong was dressed in a horse-riding outfit, and his face was a little uncertain.
After arriving at the small martial arts arena, he did not take the initiative to step forward. Instead, he stood in the middle of the small martial arts arena and saluted Li Yuanji solemnly, "I have met His Highness the King of Qi. I don't know how I offended His Highness the King of Qi. His Highness the King of Qi actually
Send people to my house with great fanfare to investigate the crime."
While Li Yuanji ordered Ling Jing to pour the wine and Xue Wanshu divided the meat, he glared at Li Xiaogong and said angrily: "Okay, don't pretend to be pretentious with me, and don't show it to me with a slumped face. This matter is indeed true. Your side wife’s mother-in-law did something wrong."
Li Xiaogong straightened up, glared, and shouted: "Then you go to them to ask for punishment. What are you doing to me? I didn't provoke you? You think I'm easy to bully, right?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, "Without your support from the Hejian County Prince, they dare to bare their teeth at me?"
Li Xiaogong's expression changed and he quickly asked: "Did you really bar your teeth at you?"
Li Xiaogong thought there was some misunderstanding, so when he came angrily, he didn't give Li Yuanji a good look.
But if someone really bared their teeth at Li Yuanji with his support, then he would not be qualified to embarrass Li Yuanji.
You know, Li Yuanji is a direct descendant, he is a concubine. There is a huge difference between direct concubines and concubines.
He couldn't bare his teeth at Li Yuanji, let alone the people below him.
If Li Yuanji defines this matter as bullying his direct descendants, then he will face the wrath of all his direct descendants. The question is, who are the direct descendants of the Li family now? Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Li Xiuning!
Can he face it alone?
Li Yuanji did not answer Li Xiaogong's question directly, but told Xue Wanshu: "Xue Wanshu, show our His Majesty the Prince of Hejian County how others slapped me in the face."
Xue Wanshu nodded and showed the scars on his face to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong looked at the scar on Xue Wanshu's face that looked like a knife wound, and his expression turned gloomy, "Did you use a knife?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "No, he just took the broken cup and threw it directly into my face." Li Xiaogong's heart skipped a beat, and his face became even more gloomy. If it was a knife, it would be easier to say.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was very martial-arts, and it was common for people to have verbal conflicts and fights with knives.
But slapping someone in the face with a broken cup has nothing to do with conflict. It is just a slap in the face from Chi Guoguo.
Although it was Xue Wanshu who was injured, the one who was hit was Li Yuanji's face behind Xue Wanshu. Can anyone hit Li Yuanji's face? Li Yuan is reluctant to hit him, who else can hit him? "If this matter has anything to do with me, I can apologize to General Xue."
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said decisively.
Xue Wanshu said hurriedly: "No, no need, this matter has nothing to do with you, Your Highness." Li Xiaogong didn't answer. It doesn't have much to do with it, so that means it does? With Li Yuanji's temperament, he would definitely not do anything like this. Give up and give up.
In order to avoid conflict with Li Yuanji, there is no shame in keeping my head down.
After all, the direct descendants have absolute control over the common descendants. If the common descendants bow to the direct descendants, no one will make irresponsible remarks.
"Don't rush to apologize. Come and sit down first." Li Yuanji waved to Li Xiaogong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xiaogong obviously didn't know about this, so he wouldn't take his anger out on Li Xiaogong, let alone turn against Li Xiaogong.
The reason why he asked Xue Wanshu to show the scar to Li Xiaogong was just to let Li Xiaogong understand the seriousness of the matter.
Later, when he took action against the Li family in Zhaozhou, Li Xiaogong would not come out to oppose him just because of the gossip or some face-related reasons.
Li Xiaogong nodded silently, walked to the pavilion with a gloomy face and sat down. Li Yuanji did not speak in a hurry and continued to order Ling Jing to pour the wine and Xue Wanshu to divide the meat.
But Li Xiaogong couldn't help it. After sitting down, he asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Li Yuanji did not expect Li Xiaogong to be so impatient, so he could only look at Xue Wanshu and ask Xue Wanshu to tell Li Xiaogong what he had experienced in Zhaozhou.
After Li Xiaogong finished listening, his brows were furrowed and his face was very ugly. On the surface, this matter actually had nothing to do with him. But if you look deeper, it had a lot to do with him.
Before he officially got married, the first concubine he took in was from the concubine lineage of the Li family in Zhaozhou. There were also many people in his branch who were related by marriage to the Li family in Zhaozhou.
So when Li Yuan first made him king, he was the king of Zhaojun. Zhaojun at that time is now Zhaozhou.
Li Yuan saw that he had a close relationship with the Li family in Zhaozhou and felt that he could manage the Li family in Zhaozhou well, so he sealed him to Zhaozhou.
The reason why the head of the Li family in Zhaozhou was so domineering and dared to slap Li Yuanji in the face may not be because he didn't support him.
After all, after he was sealed in Zhaozhou, he took great care of the Zhaozhou Li family, and now he has many contacts with the Zhaozhou Li family.
Zhaozhou Li's domineering attitude was obviously developed because of his support. Zhaozhou Li was not like this before. Therefore, Li Yuanji was hit in the face, and he had a certain responsibility.
"How are you going to deal with this matter? What kind of explanation do you need me to give you?" Li Xiaogong asked in a deep voice. He has to bear the consequences of the consequences he has sown.
Li Xiaogong did not shirk responsibility recklessly.
Because this matter was originally decided by Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji was still in charge.
It's useless for him to shirk responsibility in a reckless way. He might as well just accept his part of the responsibility.
Li Yuanji glanced at Xue Wanshu and said to Li Xiaogong: "You and I are a family, and you don't know anything about this matter, so I have no complaints against you and will not retaliate against you. But Xue Wanshu was beaten after all.
, and even hurt my face, you have to make some compensation."
Li Xiaogong solemnly nodded, looked at Xue Wanshu and said: "Although I don't know about this, the people of the Li family in Zhaozhou hurt you because I was behind them to support them. What compensation do you want?
Open your mouth."
Xue Wanshu looked hesitant, not knowing how to speak.
He doesn't have much desire. What he hopes most at the moment is a title. He hopes that his title can be equal to or higher than that of his second brother.
But Li Xiaogong definitely couldn't give him this thing.
Because it was Li Yuan's prerogative to confer knighthood on others, and others did not have the qualifications and rights. So he really didn't know what to ask for.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji helped him and said: "Cousin, if you are willing, how about helping Xue Wanbei find a civilian position in Zuojianmen Mansion?"
Li Xiaogong was stunned. Xue Wanshu was also stunned, but soon his face became happy.
Xue Wanshu didn't care too much about his own future, but he did care about the future of his brothers.
Among the four younger brothers, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche already have a bright future. However, Xue Wanbei has just entered the officialdom. No one can say what his future future will be.
If Li Xiaogong could help his fifth brother find a civil service position in Zuojian Menfu, he would be willing to do so.
Although it was easier to get a job in the military profession in the Tang Dynasty, he still hoped that one of his younger brothers would get a job as a civil servant.
Because in that case, even if all of their brothers who joined the army died in battle one day, there would still be someone to help them guard their homes, their wives and children.
And his fifth brother prefers learning, and he is the most suitable among the five brothers to pursue a civil service career.
Although his fifth brother is now a teacher at Tanshan Literary School, Zuo Jianmen's civil service position is obviously more promising.
With four of their older brothers who were in the army protecting him, and with a background in Prince Qi's palace, his fifth brother would not be in trouble when he went to Zuojianmen's palace, and he could live a prosperous life.
From now on, whether you follow the army to earn credits or help the royal guard to earn credits, it will be easy and relatively safe.
The most important thing is that the five eggs of their brothers do not need to be put in one basket. If there is any major change in the future, there is no need to worry about being wiped out.
