Chapter 0631 The army goes out to fight, Li family adds a new child
"Please also ask Your Highness to accept them and let them contribute to the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing that Li Yuanji no longer looked down upon his soldiers, Zhao Chengyong said solemnly.
Li Yuanji stared at Zhao Chengyong for a while, then slowly said: "Do you want them to help Li Yi atone for his sins and let me spare Li Yi's life?"
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason. Li Yuanji does not think that a warrior trained by a vassal king will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
So Zhao Chengyong definitely did not do this because he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
All Li Yuanji could think of was that Zhao Chengyong had guessed what Li Yi would do in the upcoming chaos, so he wanted to help Li Yi atone for his sins and find a way out for Li Yi.
Although Zhao Chengyong had been given to Li Jiancheng by Li Yi, Li Jiancheng did not win over him, and Zhao Chengyong could not forget Li Yi all at once like the Xue brothers.
So it makes sense to help Li Yi find a way out at this time.
"minister……"
Zhao Chengyong's thoughts were revealed at once, and he spoke with some shame and embarrassment.
Li Yuanji raised his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, I guessed what you were thinking and I can understand it. I can give you this opportunity, but it's not up to me whether they can make contributions and help Li Yi atone for his sins.
Forget it.
In addition, if Li Yi does not rebel, I can let him live, but if Li Yi rebels, even if you and your people have made great contributions, I will take his head."
This kind of thing is non-negotiable.
If a rebel can escape and live happily, then where is the majesty of the Tang Dynasty?
If the Tang Dynasty could tolerate one rebel, countless rebels would emerge.
Therefore, the rebels must die without any negotiation.
When Zhao Chengyong heard this, he said excitedly: "Your Highness, don't worry. I will immediately send a letter to Your Highness King Yan, asking Your Highness to come here to see Your Highness and show my loyalty to Your Highness."
Li Yuanji opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengyong was still a romantic and would actually think that Li Yi would still be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
The moment Li Jiancheng failed, the moment Li Jiancheng became a prisoner, Li Yi completely broke with the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi's brother Li Shou ran away with his people, and the protons were gone. How could Li Yi continue?
Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji really wanted to tell Zhao Chengyong that Li Yi would rebel.
This is a general trend.
It was also a dead end that Li Yi created for himself.
At this point, Li Yi has no other choice but to rebel.
Because the Tang Dynasty could not tolerate a king with the surname of Shi who had a large number of soldiers, let alone a king with the surname of Shi who participated in the fight for the heir and failed.
Not just the Tang Dynasty, no dynasty could tolerate such people.
So Li Yi had to rebel, and he had no choice but to rebel.
Only rebellion can win him a chance of survival.
However, seeing how pitiful Zhao Chengyong was and how naive he thought he could persuade Li Yi, Li Yuanji suddenly softened his heart.
This person may not be a commander-in-chief, but he is definitely a capable general.
The Tang Dynasty already had enough commanders, and the Tang Dynasty had enough generals...
There are now three commanders who are willing to use him only, so he has no shortage of commanders, but there are not many strong generals who are willing to use him alone, so this person is still worth protecting and recruiting.
But under the solicitation, the mark Li Yi imprinted on him must be brought forward.
"Cheng Yong, if you dare to say such things in front of me, I am willing to give you three points, but you must remember that you are my minister of the Tang Dynasty, not Li Yi's minister.
[In view of the general environment, you were born in Yanyun, under the command of Li Yi, and Li Yi has shown you the kindness of knowing and encountering you, so you must repay it.
Now that you have given Li Yi a chance to survive, it is enough to repay his kindness.
Don't mention it in front of me again in the future
Li Yi, let alone thinking about Li Yi with all your heart."
Li Yuanji said with emotion.
The expression on Zhao Chengyong's face froze, and then he realized what he had done wrong.
However, he has no regrets.
Just as Li Yuanji said, Li Yi was kind to him in knowing and supporting him, and he must repay him.
Li Yi gave him to Li Jiancheng and asked him to obey Li Jiancheng's orders. He also repaid half of Li Yi's kindness.
Now that he has repaid the other half, he will no longer owe Li Yi anything in the future.
You can live an upright life.
You can live your life with a clear conscience.
"Your Majesty, I will remember your lesson..."
Zhao Chengyong solemnly clasped his fists.
Li Yuanji nodded, without saying anything more, and immediately asked Liu Jun to send someone to send the people Zhao Chengyong brought to Li Jing.
…
At the end of August.
Li Jing was ready. Without making any announcement or swearing an oath, he quietly left Chang'an City with two thousand mysterious armors under Li Shimin's command and a thousand elite cavalry selected from the Twelve Guards Camp.
An Xinggui also left Chang'an City with Cao Dan shortly after Li Jing left.
He is responsible for guiding Li Jing and coordinating Li Jing. He will not follow Li Jing to attack the Turkic royal court, so there is no need to rush with Li Jing.
The reason why he brought Cao Dan with him was because he chose it himself.
In his own words, Liangzhou had strong soldiers but no good generals. He needed a good general to assist him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he was afraid that the court would not trust him, so he found a supervisor for himself.
But no one told this.
There was no reason for the court to refuse such a request that the court would add some sand to his side, and there was no reason to say that he was not the one.
In recognition of An Xinggui's loyalty and bravery, An Xinggui's son An Yuanshou became the commander of the guards in front of Zhaode Hall, and together with Yu Wenbao became the door gods of Zhaode Hall.
When the time entered September, Li Xiaogong also started to leave, leading tens of thousands of troops to hold a grand swearing-in meeting outside Chang'an City.
Li Yuan, who had not appeared in front of officials for a long time, personally went to the altar to pay homage to Li Xiaogong and promised Li Xiaogong countless benefits.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Li Yuanji returned to the palace, he kept rolling his eyes at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan sat on the throne of the Tai Chi Hall without any image, pouring wine into his mouth with one hand, patting the dragon gum with the other and shouting: "How dare you roll your eyes at me, you traitor?"...
Li Yuanji was not polite to Li Yuan and retorted without hesitation, "If I don't roll my eyes at you, who should I roll my eyes at? You can't change your bad habits?"
Li Yuan patted Long Gu and blew his beard and shouted with eyes wide open: "I need you to criticize my faults? Who do you think you are?"
Li Yuanji said angrily: "Yes, I don't need to criticize your faults, but you promise benefits to anyone you arrest, and you promise big benefits. Don't you know that this will encourage people's ambitions?"
Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Since you want to use others, how can you not feed them? As for you worrying about others being superior to others and worrying about others threatening you, that's what you asked for.
If you didn't use others, you wouldn't have this kind of trouble."
"My second brother was ruined by you like this!"
Li Yuanji couldn't help but remind him.
If this had happened in the past, Li Yuan would have exploded and saliva would fly everywhere, but now, Li Yuan is very calm, so calm that Li Yuanji feels his balls hurt.
"So what if it's destroyed, isn't there still you?"
Li Yuan said something nonchalantly, and after he finished speaking, he reminded you fiercely: "I'll tell you again, don't mention that beast in front of me in the future, or I'll make you look good."
Li Yuanji imitated Li Yuan's behavior and chuckled.
He didn't take Li Yuan's threats seriously at all, and he didn't bother to talk to Li Yuan anymore.
The deal is already done. We can only find a way to restrain Li Xiaogong after the war.
Authority.
Who knows what is wrong with Li Yuan, but when he went to the altar to pay homage to the general, he promised Li Xiaogong that as long as Li Xiaogong came back with a great victory, he would break the earth and make Li Xiaogong the king.
The word "crack" here refers to the complete cutting of a part of the territory to Li Xiaogong, and the word "king" here refers to the title of prince to Li Xiaogong.
Isn't this creating a split? Isn't this creating opponents for him and creating trouble for Datang in the future?
Although he also has thoughts in this regard, he will never use the territory of the Central Plains to make a king, let alone go beyond the line of concubine to make a prince to a branch.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty was so large that it was simply not enough for the descendants of the Tang clan who were like a herd of donkeys. The way of the Tang clan was also the basis for the establishment of the Tang clan. As a beneficiary, how could we destroy it?
If this makes all the people in the branch stronger, even if they survive the Xuanwu Sect incident safely, they will still have to fight against each other in the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, this kind of fighting between the same roommates will be even more severe due to the changes in the Xuanwu Gate.
"Lao Hu painted..."
Li Yuanji cursed and left the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Yuan pretended not to hear and asked someone to carry him to the East Palace.
The reason why Li Yuan's temper has improved and he has become more generous is related to his mood.
He was in a good mood recently because Li had another baby. Zheng Guanyin, the eldest daughter-in-law of Li, gave birth to a son in mid-August. At the end of August, the eldest grandson of the second daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter.
, at the same time, several nobles in the Liangyi Palace also had their Ximai pulse diagnosed.
However, whether it was the birth of a daughter by his eldest grandson or the diagnosis of a happy pulse by several dignitaries in the Liangyi Palace, they were not the main reasons for Li Yuan's improvement in mood.
The main reason why Li Yuan's mood improved was that his eldest son had another son, and he was also a legitimate son. Some people inherited the incense, and some people paid filial piety to Li Jiancheng.
His mind also became more active.
The reason why he risked breaking the rules and promising Li Xiaogong to break the earth and become the king at the expense of nourishing Li Xiaogong's ambition was purely to pave the way for his eldest son's direct grandson.
He no longer expected that his fourth son, who held great power, would hand it back to him and then pass it on to his eldest son's direct grandson.
Because the fourth son has put down the chaos caused by the turmoil in the palace and is completely in control.
With the fourth son's character, if you don't cause trouble for him, he won't pay attention to you no matter what you do, but if you try to cause trouble for him, he will definitely kill you.
In order to prevent the eldest son's legitimate grandson from fighting for power with his fourth son, he was killed by his fourth son.
He decisively gave up the idea of letting the eldest grandson inherit everything in the Tang Dynasty, and instead sought benefits for the eldest grandson while he was still alive.
