This is called killing with a borrowed knife and striking later.
Not only will it not bring any bad reputation, but it will also gain a good reputation.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded and said: "Wei Qing's idea is good, so let's do what Wei Qing wants. After the matter in Tiance Mansion is resolved, this matter will be left to Wei Qing."
Wei Zheng bowed respectfully and said, "I obey."
Cai Yungong saw Wei Zheng being in the limelight and curled his lips in disdain.
It's not that he has no brains and can't think of these things.
He was purely against Wei Zheng and disgusted with Wei Zheng.
Just because Wei Zheng called him a flatterer.
In his opinion, Wei Zheng is not a good person. He will definitely flatter him when he should, so what's the point of pretending?
nausea!!
"Your Highness, Zhang Liang, Niu Xiu, and Wu Guang want to see you!"
After Li Yuanji, Wei Zheng, and Cai Yungong discussed the matter of deposing the Tongjun government, the eunuchs guarding outside the palace hurried to the palace to report.
Wei Zheng bowed and asked to retreat without hesitation.
Although he didn't know what Li Yuanji was going to say to Zhang Liang and others, he thought it was better not to listen, lest he hear too much and think too much and his head hurts, so he decided to leave.
When Cai Yungong saw Wei Zheng asking to leave, he also asked him to leave.
Li Yuanji did not try to persuade them to stay, and waved his hand to let them go. Then he sent the decree deposing the Tongjun government to the three provinces, asking Li Gang, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others to give their opinions.
It's just that I don't really want Li Gang and others to give me some advice, but I want to inform Li Gang and others to let Li Gang and others know what's going on, so as not to start to depose the military government at that time. When the people under my command ask, Li Gang and others If people don't know something, they will be embarrassed.
Li Gang and others are not qualified to give opinions on this matter, and will not give any opinions.
If someone is ignorant and insists on giving advice, Li Yuanji doesn't have to listen.
Because this is not a state matter at all, but a family matter.
If someone imitated the officials of other dynasties after the Tang Dynasty and said something like "the Tian family is selfless", Xiao Yu and other royal relatives would beat him to death with a big-eared scraper without Li Yuanji taking action.
Are you kidding me? If the Tian family has no selfish interests, then how can we, relatives of the emperor, enjoy the privileges of being relatives of the emperor?
If you commit some serious crime and cause public outrage, how can you seek refuge in the palace and seek a lighter sentence?
"Chen Zhang Liang..."
"Chen Niu Xiu..."
"Chen Wu Guang..."
"See Your Highness..."
After Li Yuanji ordered people to send the decree deposing the military government to the three provinces, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, and Wu Heita arrived and knelt down on one knee to salute.
Li Yuanji is quite familiar with Niu Jinda and Wu Heita, so there is nothing much to say.
Zhang Liang and Li Yuanji were not familiar with each other, so they observed him carefully for a while.
In terms of body shape, Zhang Liang is a standard burly man, with a tough aura common to warriors. He has a goatee, is neatly groomed, and has a fairly resolute face. He is wearing an official uniform. , he looks like an ordinary military minister.
However, Zhang Liang seems to have a bad habit, that is, he likes to raise adopted sons. Historically, he has raised more than 500 adopted sons. If he adds another 500, he will be on par with Lan Yu in the early Ming Dynasty.
I don’t know why the ancients, especially the military generals among the ancients, liked to raise adopted sons so much, and even raised hundreds of them at a time.
Do you really think that the sword of the person in power is bad?
After Li Yuanji's eyes lingered on Zhang Liang, he then looked at Niu Jinda and Wu Heita.
Three people, both of whom were unlucky, and I don't know how Niu Jinda dared to mix with them.
One likes to raise adopted sons, raising them in hundreds, and the other has the same name as a rebel. Isn't Niu Jinda afraid?
"No need to be polite, just get up and talk."
Li Yuanji resisted the urge to complain and declared calmly.
Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, and Wu Heita stood up together.
Li Yuanji pointed to the couch in the palace and said: "Sit down and talk..."
After the three people thanked each other, they slowly sat down with different expressions.
They didn't understand Li Yuanji's intention of inviting them here, and they each had their own ideas.
After the three of them sat down, Li Yuanji said slowly: "I have read your memorial. I am very pleased that you are willing to continue to serve me, Datang."
Li Yuanji didn't say that he was working for him, nor did he say that he would submit to him. Instead, he said that he would continue to serve Datang. This style suddenly became more prominent.
Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, and Wu Heita suddenly became much more relaxed, and their sitting postures were no longer so stiff.
Li Yuanji continued: "You have been on the battlefield for a long time, and you should be able to see what the current situation of the Tang Dynasty is like, so I plan to transfer Zhang Liang and Wu Guang to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion to assist the left warrior Xun, guard the south of the river, and avoid the south of Yizhou.
The barbarians in the south of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou rebelled.
What do you think?"
The expressions of Zhang Liang and Wu Heitai changed at a speed visible to the naked eye and became ugly.
The south of the Yangtze River, especially Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places where hundreds of barbarians gathered, were far less prosperous than the north of the Yangtze River. Not only that, there were even signs of slash-and-burn farming in some places.
Letting them go to Jingzhou to assist the left warrior Xun is a kind of distribution to them.
It was almost the same as when Li Jiancheng transferred them away from Chang'an City.
However, when Li Jiancheng transferred them away, Li Shimin could still transfer them back, so they didn't have to worry about it.
If Li Yuanji transferred them away, that would be a real transfer. If Li Yuanji remained silent, no one could transfer them back.
Therefore, the feeling of being sent away simultaneously arose in their hearts, as well as a hint of timidity and anger.
Li Yuanji really has no good intentions towards them, and Li Yuanji will really try his best to get rid of these gangsters in the Qin Palace!!
Although Niu Jinda's face did not become ugly, his expression also became nervous.
Although the matter had nothing to do with him, he was still nervous, nervous for his two colleagues Zhang Liang and Wu Heita, and also nervous for himself.
Zhang Liang and Wu Heitai, both of Li Shimin's subordinates, were sent away, and he would definitely not be left alone.
He didn't have any friendship with Li Yuanji, so he didn't think Li Yuanji would be merciful.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Li Yuanji stared at Zhang Liang and Wu Heitai and asked.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "Does His Highness really want us to sit in Jingzhou to prevent the barbarians from causing chaos, or is there another purpose?"
Zhang Liang is not a straight-tempered person. The reason why he asked this question so straightforwardly is because he felt that there was no need to beat around the bush in front of Li Yuanji.
If Li Yuanji deliberately wants to deal with them, then even if they smash their heads in front of Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji will still deal with them.

So there is no need to be polite to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji chuckled and asked, "What other purpose do you think I have?"
Zhang Liang said with a sullen face: "Don't you want to take this opportunity to eradicate us, the old members of the Prince of Qin's Palace, and use this opportunity to distribute us?"
Niu Jinda opened his mouth, intending to stop Zhang Liang, hoping that Zhang Liang would not speak so bluntly, but when the words reached his lips, he did not say them out.
Although Wu Heita wanted to ask the same question, Zhang Liang had already taken the lead, so there was no need for him to stand up and offend others.
Li Yuanji said amusingly: "I am so unbearable in your heart? If I really wanted to eradicate you, would you be able to survive until now? Do you really think that the Eighth Army under my second brother can stop me from killing people?"
Don't tell me that I have appeased the four prefectures. Even if one of the four prefectures has not been appeased, if I want to kill you, they will not be able to stop me."
When Li Yuanji spoke, he was full of confidence and confidence.
Because he can really do it, even if Li Yuan steps in to stop him, he can still chop off the heads of Zhang Liang and the others.
Zhang Liang was speechless for a moment. Niu Jinda took the opportunity to smooth things over and said, "His Highness is right. If His Highness wanted to kill us, we wouldn't survive now."
Li Yuanji lay lazily on his back in the circle, glanced at Niu Jinda, and said with approval: "There is still a discerning person among you. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't talk so much nonsense to you.
I have already sent people to surround your mansion and arrest all three of your clans.
So you shouldn't guess what kind of person I am based on your own ideas, but you should draw conclusions based on what I do.
From the turmoil in the palace to now, besides beheading Zhang Shigui and Gao Shilian when my second brother and I were in close combat, who else have I killed among you?"
Zhang Liang was speechless when asked. Niu Jinda and Wu Heitai looked at each other and were speechless.
Li Yuanji continued: "I didn't kill anyone. Not only that, I also treated you as politely as possible, helped some of the injured among you heal, and sent people over and over again to persuade you to surrender. I never used harsh means to coerce you.
.
I think I have been kind enough to you, so what makes you think that I will eradicate you and transfer you to other places?"
Zhang Liang opened his mouth to refute.
Li Yuanji followed closely and said: "I can even tolerate my eldest brother and second brother. Xue Shou and others fled Chang'an with Li Tai and wanted to go out to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. I didn't yell at them to kill them."
.
Do you think I won’t be able to tolerate you and will yell at you to kill you?”
Zhang Liang was completely speechless when asked.
Because from all aspects, Li Yuanji has done very well. If it were Li Shimin who won, Li Shimin would never be able to do this.
So Li Yuanji was not wrong, it was them who were wrong.
It's because they judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
"You are far from being as kind to the people in the Xiuwen Museum as you say..."
Seeing that Zhang Liang was speechless when asked, Wu Heita couldn't help but help him.
In fact, he really didn't want to arouse Li Yuanji's idea, but until now, if he didn't speak, he and Zhang Liang would probably be sent to Jiangnan, so he had to speak.
Li Yuanji glanced at Wu Heita and said calmly: "I used some tricks on them, but I didn't hurt their lives. As the leader of the Tang Dynasty, I can't just watch them eat.
The salary of Datang is not helping Datang to do things, right?
They are not you, and they have not made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to support them in vain, right?"
