Li Xiaogong also raised his head and said: "Yes, it must be sealed!"
Li Shentong said angrily: "I think you and Pei Ji are all under-ranked, so you should remove him from his title as well!"
There was no reason for Li Shentong not to be angry.
As a minister, you, Pei Ji, just play with your father on weekdays. At this critical moment, when the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, you don't know how to persuade your father to govern the Tang Dynasty well, but instead indulge your father.
Play more wildly, play more crazily.
Then you will be derelict in your duty, and you will be a disaster to the country, and you will be beheaded, or cut into pieces by a thousand swords!
At this moment, Li Shentong no longer cared about whether Li Yuan would fall out with Li Yuanji after Li Yuanji resigned from Pei Ji's position.
He just wanted to remove the thief Pei Ji as soon as possible and cut him into pieces.
For the Tang Dynasty!
For the reputation of Datang!
For Li's sake!
For Li's reputation!
Pei Ji!
Must die!
"Now you are making things difficult for me. If I demote Pei Ji, my father will not say anything. But if I demote Pei Ji, my father will definitely fall out with me."
Li Yuanji understood Li Shentong's mood, but could not agree with Li Shentong's statement.
After all, Pei Ji's title was obtained in exchange for the power of the dragon, and Li Yuan also had a certain degree of imperial status in his heart.
It would be easier to give up Pei Ji's official position and make Pei Ji a rich man.
If Pei Ji is spared and Pei Ji is completely turned into a white body, Li Yuan will really fall out.
Those veterans who have the power to follow the dragon will also make trouble.
Because doing this is tantamount to seizing power from Li Yuan in a fair and just way, and it is also tantamount to declaring to all veterans openly and honestly that I, Li Yuanji, have taken power, and I want to use the ministers I promoted. You veteran ministers can be thrown into the garbage heap.
Can Li Yuan not fall out with him, and can those old ministers not make trouble with him?
Although Li Yuan has now completely delegated power to him, Li Yuan is still the master of the Tang Dynasty after all. Li Yuan giving him power and him taking power from Li Yuan are completely different concepts.
Over the past two years, he has finally understood Li Yuan's character.
Li Yuan is definitely the kind of emperor who says, "Use whatever I give you, and you can't steal what I don't give you."
Li Yuan was also a rare and generous emperor in history.
Therefore, Li Yuan has begun to completely delegate power to him, so there is no need for him to go to Li Yuan to seize power, let alone to stimulate Li Yuan.
As for those old ministers, they are now the mainstay of the court. He still wants to use them to stabilize the court situation, and it is not easy to provoke them.
Therefore, although Pei Ji's functions are over, his title is definitely not exempt.
Li Shentong was so angry that he didn't want to think through his words at all, so after hearing Li Yuanji's words, he shouted angrily, "If you fall out, you'll fall out!"
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Uncle Wang said it so easily. If you fall out, you will fall out? Didn't you just advise me not to fall out with my father? You should know what kind of impact I will have on Datang after I fall out with my father."
Li Shentong opened his eyes and shouted: "Then we can't let them act like this!"
Li Yuanji encouraged: "If Uncle Wang really can't stand it anymore, just take people to Liangyi Palace to kill Pei Ji. I will try my best to protect Uncle Wang from any harm."
Li Shentong was choked all of a sudden, breathing heavily, and his eyes were as wide as bells.
He did have the courage to kill Pei Ji, but he didn't have the courage to kill him in front of Li Yuan.
If Pei Ji was not in Liangyi Palace and not with Li Yuan, he would not mind getting angry for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the Li family's reputation.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong who was "turning off" and said regretfully: "It seems that Uncle Wang really can't stand it."
Li Shentong's eyes suddenly widened even more, and he couldn't stare anymore.
The heavy breathing from his nostrils became even thicker. You could hear his heavy breathing from a few feet away, which showed that he was both stimulated and angry.
"Uncle Wang, calm down..."
Li Xiaogong saw that Li Shentong was about to make him angry to death. While comforting Li Shentong, he complained to Li Yuanji: "Uncle Wang is already old and can't bear to be angry. Can't you just say a few words less?"
Li Yuanji also knew that he could no longer be angry with Li Shentong. If he continued to be angry, Li Shentong might explode on the spot, so he obeyed: "No more, no more..."
Li Xiaogong hurriedly comforted Li Shentong again. It wasn't until Li Shentong calmed down that he slowly said, "We agreed to what you told us.
If you have anything else to explain, please explain it all."
After seeing the scene in Liangyi Palace, he no longer had any objections to the matter of sealing off the residence of Pei Ji and his party members.
Li Shentong obviously had no objection.
Li Yuanji did not show any pretense when faced with Li Xiaogong's "asking for military service". He said frankly: "I still need you to prepare and prepare to lead the troops."
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then slowly frowned and said, "Go and deal with the Turks?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Not bad!"
After Li Xiaogong was silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "You can trust me to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to me?"
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "What's wrong with this? I won't just send you alone, I will also send others. The army of hundreds of thousands will not be led by you alone, but by many people."
Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "But the saint doesn't trust me."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "That's because my father doesn't understand you, but I understand you. And this time I am the one who makes the decision on this expedition, not my father."
Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuanji and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will bury hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "If you doubt someone, don't use it. If you employ someone, don't doubt it."
Li Xiaogong fell into silence again. After a long time, he said cheerfully: "Okay, just to tell you this, I will go to Northern Xinjiang to meet the Turks who have repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty to see what they can do.
.”
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction, and just when he was about to praise him, he heard Li Xiaogong say again: "However, I need a few people, otherwise I won't dare to win."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Xiaogong knew his own capabilities and knew that the Tang Dynasty could not lose in this battle, so he did not dare to rely on others and asked for a right-hand man.
Li Yuanji had been prepared for a long time, so he said without hesitation: "I will send Li Shiji and Huang Junhan to help you, I will also send Uncle Wang Fu to listen to your orders, and I will also send a letter to Ren Gui to ask Ren Gui to help at the critical moment."
Give it a try."
Li Xiaogong said seriously: "I still want Li Jing, and I also want to thank Uncle Fang!"
There is a saying that you should use the cooked food instead of the raw food.
Li Xiaogong already had a tacit understanding with Li Jing, so he hoped that Li Jing could become his deputy.
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and said, "Li Jing can give it to you, but Uncle Xie can't!"
On the Hebei Road side, there are Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin who are enough to deal with Li Yi, so Li Jing can be used by Li Xiaogong.
But Uncle Xie can't.
Li Xiaogong frowned suddenly and said subconsciously: "Isn't the situation in Chang'an City already under your control? What are you still doing with Xie Shufang?"
Li Yuanji did not answer Li Xiaogong's question, but asked instead: "Have you forgotten that the Eighth Army Mansion under my second brother is still in the hands of my second brother?
Although they have not made any movements for the time being, it does not mean that they will never make any movements."
The Eight Great Military Commands under Li Shimin did not take any action after Li Shimin was captured, not because they did not want to take action, but because Li Shimin transferred most of the generals who commanded them away.
Now they are in a leaderless state. They don't know what they need to do or what they should do, so there is no movement.
Once someone they are familiar with integrates them in the name of Li Shimin, they will become a serious problem in Chang'an City.
So we have to guard against it.
"Besides, are you sure that when the Turks invade south this time, they will come in from Youyun as before? If they make a false shot in Youyun, break through Xiaoguan directly, and attack Chang'an City, there will be no generals available. I
What to do in response?”
Li Yuanji asked, leaving Li Xiaogong speechless.
The eight unified military mansions under Li Shimin have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and each one of them is a fierce soldier.
If they were reintegrated, they would be a force that cannot be ignored.
If they attack Chang'an City and Taiji Palace to rescue Li Shimin, Li Yuanji will have no one to deal with, and it will be really difficult for them to deal with it.
In addition, although the Turks have never entered through Xiaoguan before, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
After all, as long as the Turks broke through Xiao Pass, they could march all the way to Chang'an City and penetrate directly into the heart of the Tang Dynasty.
The Turks did not do this in the past because there were many soldiers and horses stationed in the Tang Dynasty's inner circle, and Xiongguan served as a gateway, making it difficult for the Turks to come in or get out.
Now, there is turmoil in the Tang Dynasty's inner circle, and there is a change of power. When the Turks come from Xiaoguan, it is difficult for those in power to quickly form an effective defense, and it is also difficult to gather a large number of soldiers and horses to leave the Turks behind.
people.
Therefore, there is a high chance that the Turks will take advantage of this good opportunity.
Therefore, Li Yuanji only left Uncle Xie to face this situation, which was considered a risk.
Therefore, Li Xiaogong has no way to 'expand even more'.
"Since you know that the Eight Unified Military Mansion under Shimin will make trouble sooner or later, why don't you eradicate them?"
Li Shentong suddenly interrupted.
Li Yuanji wanted to laugh a little.
It would be so easy to eradicate the Eighth Army Command under Li Shimin.
They are now leaderless, either defeated or disabled.
If you attack them directly, even if they don't have a general in command, they can still exert a very strong combat effectiveness through the command of basic officers such as brigade commander, commander, and corps commander.
They were fierce soldiers carefully selected by Li Shimin after many years of fighting. Although they were not as good as the Xuanjia Army, they were more than a little stronger than other soldiers and horses.
If more than 30,000 people rioted together, it would be another disaster for Chang'an City.
Therefore, it is impossible to attack them directly, and we can only try to attack them slowly.
In addition, they were the essence of the military since the founding of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and they were part of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If they were to be destroyed like this, Li Yuanji would not be reconciled and would not let go.
Therefore, Li Yuanji wanted to use cannibalization to slowly adopt them for his own use.
As long as he can digest them and add the elite soldiers from the six unified military offices of Prince Qi, Li Yuanji feels that he can go anywhere in the world.
Even if Li Shimin "broke through" and got out, he could only look at him twice and then obediently work for him as a laborer.
There is no way, the barrel of the gun is too hard!
