Yin Kaishan moved very quickly. Before Qu Tutong and Li Chengqian had appeased the officials of East Shaanxi Province, he made a commotion in Duji Road. He just didn't know how big the commotion would be this time.
How will the feudal king react when he finds out?
"Alang, I heard that my second sister-in-law is pregnant. I haven't seen her for a long time, and my second brother can't stay with her, so I want to go and see her."
Yang Miaoyan withdrew her hand very considerately, asked the female officer to support her, and said with a smile.
Li Yuanji nodded silently. He knew clearly that this was because Yang Miaoyan knew that he was busy with business and did not want to disturb him.
Saying that you are going to Chengqing Palace to see your eldest grandson may not be without showing off.
After all, she had been married to the Li family for many years, and she finally got pregnant. Naturally, she had to present the treasure in front of her sisters-in-law, so that they could take a good look at her. She was also fertile.
"Go to Chengqing Hall!"
Yang Miaoyan greeted all those serving her with a smile and rushed to Chengqing Hall.
The entrance to Wude Hall suddenly became clear.
Li Yuanji waited until Yang Miaoyan had gone far, then twisted the mailbox a few times, opened the mailbox, and unfolded the letter inside.
The content of the letter was exactly the same as what the knight said, but it was more detailed.
It not only writes when the Governor of Huaizhou rebelled, but also how many soldiers and horses the Governor of Huaizhou had when he rebelled, how he captured Hanoi and other places, and what scale it has developed to now.
It's just that Yin Kaishan's name was not mentioned in the letter. It seems that Yin Kaishan chose to remain anonymous when doing this.
fair enough.
As long as Yin Kaishan can stay hidden, he won't have to work hard to help Yin Kaishan clear his name after the matter is over.
"Give me the order!"
Li Yuanji finished reading the letter, handed it to the eunuch serving beside him, and spoke calmly.
The guard following him quickly appeared in front of him and knelt on one knee.
Li Yuanji continued: "Pass my order to Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Luo Shixin, asking them to gather all the soldiers and horses in Hebei Province as soon as possible to prepare to attack the rebels in Duji Province.
At the same time, orders were sent to Shaanxi Province and all places in Taiyuan Prefecture, asking the governors in various places to strengthen their vigilance, be sure to guard every city in their hands, and be sure to protect the people under their rule.
If there is anyone who violates the rules, responds passively, or takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and make money, he will be punished without mercy!"
The guard respectfully responded, "Here!"
Li Yuanji continued: "Give me another order!"
Another guard knelt down in front of him. The previous guard had quickly rushed to the post office after receiving the order.
The Guanyi Yamen was the general manager of all the post stations in the Tang Dynasty. It was responsible for commanding the post stations in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and was also responsible for delivering all documents that needed urgent delivery to various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
"Summon Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Li Gai, Xie Shufang, Wei Zheng and others to the Zhaode Hall for an audience!"
"Here!"
"..."
Half an hour later.
Li Yuanji put on royal robes and rushed to Zhaode Hall.
After receiving the summons, Li Xiaogong and others also rushed to Zhaode Hall.
After simple greetings and salutes, Li Yuanji said straight to the point: "I just received news that Xu Shizong, the governor of Huaizhou in Duji Province, has rebelled. He has already conquered the four counties of Hanoi, Wude, Wenxian, and Sishui.
More than 10,000 people, and they gathered people by the Si River to rebel, hoping to instigate the governors of other states to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
I have already sent an order to Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Luo Shixin of Hebei Province, ordering them to immediately summon the troops and horses in Hebei Province to prepare to meet the enemy.
It's just that the soldiers and horses in Hebei Province, except for the King of Yan Li Yibu, the rest are all government soldiers, and most of them were recruited from Liu Heitai.
Strength is worrisome, and loyalty is hard to find.
Therefore, we still need to discuss it and select a capable minister to lead one of the twelve guards to rush to Duji Road to help and put down the rebellion.
What do you think?"
Li Yuanji did not bring up the matter of Duji Road for Li Xiaogong and others to discuss. Instead, he directly stated his intention and asked Li Xiaogong and others to recommend a suitable leader.
In this matter, he is different from Li Yuan. He will not be stubborn about nepotism, nor will he ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother to discuss it with anyone.
He just needs to find a suitable candidate and let him go.
If he doesn't go, he will be demoted or killed.
They are all in power and have the authority over a country, so why do they still need to look at the faces of the people below?
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
Since you are all the king's ministers, you have to do whatever the king asks you to do. If you dare to bargain and push back, you are in trouble.
When Li Xiaogong and others heard this, they all looked at Li Daozong without any reason.
Li Daozong was still eating the melon, and suddenly saw everyone looking at him, and he suddenly felt confused as if he had eaten the melon on his own head.
"It seems that everyone thinks Dao Zong is suitable?"
Li Yuanji was not polite to Li Daozong and called him by his first name.
Although Li Daozong is one year older than him and is considered his cousin, in this situation where he is respected, he does not need to discuss seniority with Li Daozong.
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
Li Daozong said in a daze: "Such an important matter should be left to a mature and prudent official. If you leave it to me, a young boy whose hair has not yet grown, it is easy to miss the important matter. Please... His Highness, King Qi,
And please think twice."
As a cousin, Li Daozong really didn't know how to address Li Yuanji.
Let's call him Your Highness. Li Yuanji is not a prince or a king. He doesn't need to be so humble.
To call him by his first name, Li Yuanji holds the power of the emperor and the prince. He is not a king, but he is better than an army, and he is not easy to entrust.
So I came up with a term that was both distant and very polite.
Not only that, in order to avoid leading the army alone, he also pretended to be young and called himself a young boy.
"It's most appropriate for you to do this. Why do you refuse?"
Among the people present, no one would be used to Li Daozong, and no one would really treat Li Daozong as a young boy just because he was only in his early twenties. Therefore, after he started speaking, Li Xiaogong did not hesitate.
Stare at him and question.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Daozong suddenly showed bitterness on his face and said: "It's not that I don't want to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but I have never had the experience of leading an army alone.
, I really don’t have the confidence to lead troops to quell the rebellion.”
Li Gang stroked his beard and said without any belief: "When you led an army alone against Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Liu Heitai, you never said anything like this."
Chen Shuda nodded with deep understanding and said: "Yes, why can't you lead the troops and quell the rebellion when it's time to deal with Xu Shizong, a petty thief?"
】
Li Daozong was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Although he was only in his early twenties, he had gone on many expeditions under the leadership of Li Shimin. He not only participated in many important battles in the Unification War of the Tang Dynasty, but also participated in the war to suppress the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, and received a lot of credit.
Who would believe him now that he cannot lead an army alone and does not have the confidence to lead an army alone?
If you tell me, even an eight or nine-year-old child may not believe it.
After all, you can fight Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita, but not Xu Shizong?
Is Xu Shizong stronger than Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita and others?
Isn't this a joke?
Although Xu Shizong caused some commotion, compared with Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Liu Heita, he was just a younger brother.
After all, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita and others were the rebel kings who really made a big fuss. Xu Shizong was now purely the leader of a small group of rebels, not even the rebel king.
Unless he can conquer the entire Duji Province in one fell swoop and become independent like Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita and others, he will always be a younger brother and there is no way he can be compared with Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita and others.
Li Daozong is not confident in dealing with him?
Li Daozong said that he didn't even need to use his powerful sword to deal with him, which was better than saying that he didn't have the confidence to deal with him.
"I think you don't want to go because he is your former colleague and has lived and died with you, so you are embarrassed to attack him, right?"
Wei Zheng suddenly spoke, immediately revealing Li Daozong's thoughts.
Li Daozong looked embarrassed.
Wei Zheng was right. Xu Shizong was indeed his former colleague. When they conquered Wang Shichong and Liu Heitai, he worked with Xu Shizong and fought side by side.
So now if he is asked to attack Xu Shizong, he will not be able to pass the test in his heart.
After all, the brother who was fighting alongside you one moment becomes your enemy the next, and your opponent is still a life-or-death kind.
Some people who are ambitious and very determined may not care about this.
But most people will be affected by this.
He is also one of the vast majority of people.
"This matter is a state matter, and it is related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the life and death of tens of millions of people in Duji Province. You can't just shirk it and put the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people in Duji Province at risk just because you have an old relationship with Xu Shizong.
In spite of it.
You have to know that you are first of all my royal family member of the Tang Dynasty, my king of Rencheng County of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, you are Xu Shizong’s former colleague.
You are responsible for the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people."
Wei Zheng didn't speak a word, but when he did speak, he was full of truth, leaving Li Daozong speechless.
Li Daozong is not an unreasonable person, and he can't be unreasonable in this situation, let alone shout "I won't listen, I won't listen" like some people do out of emotion and be dominated by personal emotions, so facing He was completely unable to refute Wei Zheng's words.
"It seems that His Highness the Prince of Rencheng County has realized the responsibility he shoulders. Then it is decided that His Highness the Prince of Rencheng County will lead the troops to Duji Road for reinforcements?"
Xiao Yu said with a smile after Li Daozong was rendered speechless.
Li Daozong suddenly felt helpless in his heart. He looked blankly at the old faces of Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others, unable to say a word.
