Chapter 0575 Let the soldiers deal with the scholar
They are well aware of the principle of one emperor and one minister, and they also knew that this day would come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.
Fortunately, Li Yuanji did not let Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others directly take their positions as soon as he came up, giving them some opportunities to continue to shine in the court, so that they can leave with dignity in the future.
Several people did not need to communicate. After each lamented in their hearts, they all bowed and said: "I have no objection."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Gang and others to be so obedient regarding Wang Gui and Ma Zhou. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed what they were thinking, but he didn't say anything more.
He just said indifferently, "Then do it as soon as possible."
From the perspective of the situation in the court, it can be regarded as a general trend to have one emperor and one minister.
Throughout history, most of the old ministers who were still attached to power and refused to leave after the new emperor ascended the throne could not escape three fates.
One is to completely crawl at the feet of the new emperor, become the new emperor's dog and horse, and then be discarded after being used by the new emperor.
One was completely eradicated by the New Emperor as a stumbling block.
One is to win an arm wrestling match with the new emperor and become a powerful official who can influence the ownership of the throne.
The first two are ubiquitous in history, and they almost all became stepping stones for the new emperor to establish his power.
There are so few of the latter in history that they can be counted on one hand, and the most famous among them is Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty.
Li Yuanji was very pleased that Li Gang and others had no intention of wrestling with him, but happily made way for Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Retreat!"
Li Yuanji declared calmly, rolled up his sleeves and left the Tai Chi Hall.
The reason why he swung his sleeves was not to show off his power or show off, but because the sleeves of the court uniform were very wide. If he didn't swish them up and hold them to one side, it would be very inconvenient to walk.
"I will respectfully send you off to His Highness the King of Qi."
All civil and military officials in the court stood up to see him off.
After Li Yuanji's figure completely disappeared in front of Taiji Hall, the censor in front of the hall dispersed the officials, and Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Li Shentong went to do the errands arranged by Li Yuanji.
When Li Yuanji returned to Wude Hall, it was already noon, and Yang Miaoyan, Chen Shanyi and others had already prepared lunch.
After exchanging some polite pre-dinner etiquette, we started eating directly.
After eating and drinking, Li Yuanji rushed to Zhaode Palace to manage the affairs.
When he arrived in front of Zhaode Hall, he saw Yu Wenbao there with an excited face.
Seeing Li Yuanji, Yu Wenbao came forward excitedly. After a simple salute, he shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, have you promoted me?"
Li Yuanji had a dark look on his face and said angrily: "What do you mean I promoted you? What an unpleasant thing to say. If word gets out, others will think that I only use my own cronies."
Yu Wenbao scratched his head and said with a smile: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."
Li Yuanji said angrily: "The reason why I promoted you is because of your political achievements at Hangu Pass. If you had no political achievements, I would not promote you."
Yu Wenbao blinked and didn't know where he had obtained his political achievements after guarding Hangu Pass for more than half a year without fighting a single battle.

However, since Your Highness said that he has political achievements, then he has political achievements.
All in all, in one sentence, everything Your Highness said is right.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"
Yu Wenbao straightened his back, cupped his fists with his hands, and shouted loudly.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Yu Wenbao, and said with hatred: "How can you do it if I don't love you deeply? You must stay by my side, you must be a beast sitting on the ground in Chang'an City, and you will go to the battlefield to seek credit in the future.
The matter is not your fault. If you want to be promoted to a higher position, you will have to wait for qualifications.
If I don't promote you, your position as Marquis will probably be passed on to the next generation and you will become an uncle."
Yu Wenbao had just become serious, but after hearing this, he fell into his old ways again, scratching his head and laughing: "Your Highness, you also know that I don't care about this, as long as I can stay by your side, let alone Hou Chengbo
, I am willing to be a front guard in the palace."
Li Yuanji cursed angrily: "You're worthless!"
Yu Wenbao scratched his head, grinned and said nothing.
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao again before taking Yu Wenbao into Zhaode Hall.
After arriving at the palace, he first asked Yu Wenbao to find a place to place him, and then he sat down on the couch in the palace and began to read the documents presented by Li Gang and others.
After flipping through two documents, he spoke to Yu Wenbao: "I originally wanted to directly appoint you as the General of the Qianniu Palace Guard, but Li Gang and others felt that you were not qualified enough and you did not have enough titles, so I could only demote you to one rank.
You are appointed General Zuo of the Qianniu Palace Guard, and the position of General is given to Xie Shufang.
However, Uncle Xie, I have another appointment, so it is you who have the final say as the Qianniu Palace Guard."
When Yu Wenbao heard this, he snorted dissatisfied and said: "Li Gang and other old men know how to do evil."
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao and said, "That's not a trick, that's a real insight. If you go to the battlefield for two more years and accumulate more merit, no one will make irresponsible remarks if I want to appoint you.
In the final analysis, your own foundation is still insufficient, so it is difficult for me to promote you out of the ordinary."
As soon as Yu Wenbao thought of going to the battlefield to make contributions, he was about to leave Li Yuanji. He suddenly shouted angrily, "I think General Zuo of the Qianniu Palace Guard is quite good..."
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao fiercely and cursed him for being useless.
The gap between this person and others is really huge.
For example, other military ministers in both the government and the public were afraid that there would be no more battles to fight, that the world would suddenly become peaceful, and that they would have no place to take credit for their achievements, and that they would be suddenly outshone.
Fortunately for Yu Wenbao, before the world was at peace, he had to hide himself from the birds.

"Your Highness, after I go to the Qianniu Palace Guards, besides guarding the door for you, what else will I do for you?"
When Yu Wenbao saw that Li Yuanji had stopped talking after scolding him, he took the initiative to ask questions.
Li Yuanji glanced at Yu Wenbao and said, "You finally said something I am willing to listen to."
Yu Wenbao smiled sheepishly.
Li Yuanji continued: "After you go to Qianniu Palace Guard, remember to replace the people inside with our people as soon as possible. Then keep an eye on my eldest brother and my second brother, and don't allow them to send a word to the outside world."
Yu Wenbao's expression straightened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will help you keep an eye on the Crown Prince and King Qin day and night, and I will never let them say a word to others."
Yu Wenbao's character in this regard is still very strong. He said that he would keep an eye on Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin day and night, so he would definitely keep an eye on Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin day and night.
So Li Yuanji felt relieved when he left this matter to Yu Wenbao.
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "In addition, I want you to appease the people under my second brother."
Yu Wenbao was stunned for a moment, then said with a confused look on his face: "This... is a bit difficult to handle."
Yu Wenbao was just stunned, but not stupid.
He knew how difficult it was to recruit the loyal ministers and generals under Li Shimin.
Especially those good generals, almost all of whom had followed Li Shimin on the battlefield several times. They had a life-long friendship and their loyalty to Li Shimin was also very strong.
The reason why they did not take any action after the coup in the palace was because Li Shimin was still alive.
If Li Shimin died, then someone among them would definitely gather a group of troops and cause trouble in Chang'an City.
They don't care at all whether it succeeds or not, they will only crazily avenge Li Shimin.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to appease them.
Yu Wenbao put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If Li Yuanji was captured by someone and they came to recruit him, he would definitely chop off the envoy's head without hesitation, and then try his best to save Li Yuanji.
As for saying that he would gain more glory and wealth after betraying Li Yuanji, he wouldn't even think about it.
Loyalty is not something you talk about casually, it can be defended with your life.
Therefore, Yu Wenbao felt that if he was asked to appease the diehard party members under Li Shimin, they would not only refuse, but also chop off his head.
"What's the problem? I asked you to appease the civil servants under my second brother, not military generals. Just don't reason with them."
Li Yuanji said something nonchalantly.
Since he decided to let Yu Wenbao take Quan Xu's place, he naturally made certain considerations.
How could it be possible to embarrass Yu Wenbao?
How could it be possible for Yu Wenbao to return without success?
After learning the lesson from Quan Xu's failure, he made a new adjustment to the people who recruited Li Shimin.
That is to let the idiots who don't like to reason deal with the civil servants under Li Shimin.
Let the talker who likes to reason and is very patient deal with the generals under Li Shimin.
Youdao means that when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain the truth clearly.
If Yu Wenbao is allowed to deal with the civil servants under Li Shimin, he will definitely torment them to the point of ecstasy. If they refuse to accept it, they will definitely bow their heads as long as they still have concerns in their hearts.
As for the very few die-hard elements, we can only think of them separately.
However, after the vast majority of people have been appeased, the remaining die-hard elements will not be able to make any big splash.
After all, when there are no troops to deploy and no troops to control, talking alone will not pose much of a threat to the current situation of the DPRK.
Moreover, one or two mouths cannot speak louder than the hundreds of mouths in the court.
As for letting Zui Pao deal with the generals under Li Shimin, although it is easy for scholars to encounter soldiers and have unclear reasons, the generals under Li Shimin are now toothless tigers, as if they have brought
Sun Wukong, who was under a tight curse, could only cover his head and say stop saying it, stop saying it, and could do nothing else when faced with Tang Monk's frivolous thoughts.
After being tortured for a long time, 70% to 80% will give in.
For the rest, we can only send them to stay with Li Jiancheng.
