Chapter 0643 The human heart is the source of disaster for people
Yu Zhining still wanted to speak, but Xue Shou raised his hand to block Yu Zhining's chest. Yu Zhining looked at Xue Shou in confusion, but Xue Shou ignored him and looked at Cai Yungong and said: "
I can, together with Han Liang, Shuang Shiluo, Tian Liuan, Qi Shanxing and others, lead the remaining troops from King Qin's Tongjun Mansion to rush to Xiaoguan for reinforcements, but I don't know if His Highness King Qi will allow it."
After Xue Shou said this, everyone's eyes fell on Xue Shou.
A faint smile appeared on Cai Yungong's face.
The reason why he said so many words was to elicit Xue Shou's words.
At present, the only people who can rush to the aid of Liu Hongji and help Liu Hongji defend Xiao Pass are the soldiers and horses of King Qin's Tongjun Mansion. However, the soldiers and horses of King Qin's Tongjun Mansion are all a group of die-hard elements, and they must be shackles before they can be used.
.
Cai Yungong felt that Xue Shou, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others were the best shackles.
If they lead the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin's unified army to Xiaoguan to aid Liu Hongji, they will definitely help Liu Hongji defend Xiaoguan.
Compared with those warriors who only know how to be loyal to Li Shimin and only know how to kill people and set fires, Xue Shou and others are more rational and clear-headed. They know very well what the Tang Dynasty is going through now, and they also know very well that once the Turks break through Xiao Pass, the army will come.
What does Chang'an mean to the Tang Dynasty?
Therefore, if they led the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin's Army Command to go to Xiaoguan for reinforcements, even if those warriors had any ideas that were not beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, they would dissuade them in time.
The reason why the other people in the hall remained silent while he was talking to Xue Shou and others was because the other people in the hall had the same idea as him.
It's just that other people in the palace are more or less concerned about their former colleagues, so it's hard to force Xue Shou and others, and it's also hard to plot against Xue Shou and others, so this kind of thing can only be done by him.
He does not object to doing this kind of thing, because someone has to do this kind of thing, and Li Yuanji and Li Shimin also need a communication bridge among the people under their command.
Others don't do it, but he does it, and his role is irreplaceable.
His position in the court was thus stable.
Although people who do this kind of thing can easily be despised by others, compared to the high-ranking officials, marquises, and the wealth and splendor, a little contempt is not worth mentioning at all.
When you are an official, especially if you are a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, you cannot lose face. If you want face, you will not be able to be an official.
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
After Li Gang's eyes stayed on Xue Shou for a moment, he quickly looked at Li Yuanji and asked.
Li Yuanji took a deep look at Xue Shou and smiled calmly: "No need, I'll go in person."
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, and then their eyes widened in shock.
Pei Ju said without hesitation: "Your Highness, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I am not going to fight in person, I just dare to go to Xiaoguan and take charge. There is no danger. How can I say that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace?"
When Pei Ju heard this, he opened his mouth, but did not persuade him any more.
From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, there have been countless incidents where emperors, princes, and princes personally led troops to the battlefield, and there were countless incidents where they personally led troops out to fight.
So everyone has long been accustomed to it.
Now that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are imprisoned, Li Yuan stays in Liangyi Palace and refuses to come out. Even if he comes out, he does not care about the government affairs, so everything in the government and the public is handled by Li Yuanji.
If Li Yuanji left Chang'an City, no one would be in charge of everything in the government and the public.
It was precisely because of this that Pei Ju advised him.
Li Yuanji didn't listen and seemed to have his own opinions, so there was no need for Pei Ju to persuade him.
"Your Highness, you have gone to Xiaoguan. Who will be in charge of the major affairs of the government and the public?"
Cai Yungong didn't expect that he had already persuaded Xue Shou and others, but Li Yuanji actually didn't agree and was going to go alone.
This made him a little confused and asked quickly.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I went to Xiaoguan, can't I preside over the major affairs of the government and the public? Chang'an is only a day's journey from Xiaoguan by horse."
If there is any important matter in the court, you can send a fast horse to inform me, and I will send a fast horse back after I have finished handling it.
It only takes two days to go back and forth like this, so it won't delay much."
This is not the case in later generations. If something major happens in the local area, it can be reported to the central government with just one phone call. After a simple discussion, the central government can also convey the order to the central government with just one phone call.
This is the Tang Dynasty. If something major happens in the local area, it will take several days or even ten days to report it to Chang'an. After the ministers in Chang'an hold a meeting, discuss countermeasures, and then send someone to convey the order, it will take several more days.
Even ten days.
During this period, no matter how urgent the matter was, it had already happened, and all the court could do was deal with the aftermath, so a delay of a day or two would not delay anything.
At most, they can allocate some money, send some people, hold local officials accountable, and kill those officials who don't know how to adapt and act according to the urgency of the situation.
Apart from that, there was nothing the court could do.
Upon hearing Li Yuanji's words, Cai Yungong knew that Li Yuanji had made up his mind, and immediately sighed in his heart and said nothing more.
"Uncle Wang, you and Xue Shou will rectify the Tongjunfu troops at my second brother's house. I will take them to Xiaoguan for reinforcements tomorrow."
After Li Yuanji convinced Cai Yungong, he smiled and said to Li Shen.
Li Shentong nodded solemnly.
Xue Shou cupped his hands with a complicated expression and responded.
Li Gang hesitated and asked, "Who will stay behind and who will accompany you?"
Li Yuanji thought for a while and said: "You, Pei Gong, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda will stay behind. If something happens and you don't have time to ask me for instructions, you can go to Liangyi Hall to ask my father for instructions.
Others, come with me and go through Xiaoguan."
Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda exchanged glances, and all bowed in agreement.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still there, so the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty wanted to lead an army and no one could say anything.
"Okay, let's all disperse."
Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.
"I'll take my leave..."
Li Gang stood up first, bowed with all the civil and military personnel, and exited the Zhaode Hall.
Cai Yungong did not leave. After Li Gang and others left, he couldn't wait to ask: "Your Highness, I have forced Xue Shou and others out, why did you hold them back again?"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Xue Shou is obviously reluctant. Since I can move, there is no need to force him. Besides, when marching and fighting, it is most taboo to have too many other thoughts involved.
If Xue Shou and others go to Xiaoguan with all their thoughts, not only will they not be able to help Liu Hongji, they may even hinder Liu Hongji.
】
So why don’t I go there myself.”
Cai Yungong said hurriedly: "What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the former King of Qin? Once you leave Chang'an City, they will definitely be restless."
This is the real reason why Cai Yungong doesn't want Li Yuanji to go.
Li Yuanji then suppressed Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin and took control of the Tang Dynasty.
Once they leave Chang'an City and the center of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will definitely try their best to escape from Anlimen and try their best to make a comeback.
Now that Li Yuanji's foundation is not stable, Cai Yungong is afraid that if Li Yuanji goes out, he will not be able to come back.
"Restless?"
Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "Then just take them all with you."
Cai Yungong was stunned and looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.
Li Yuanji smiled and continued: "Do you think the people under my second brother will be willing to listen to me without my second brother accompanying me?"
Cai Yungong was even more stunned.
Li Yuanji continued: "Only if I take my second brother with me, will they listen to me, and I will be able to dispatch them and order them with ease."
Cai Yungong looked stunned.
Li Yuanji asked cheerfully: "Now do you understand why I went by myself?"
Cai Yungong nodded heavily and patted the horse: "Your Highness is really tall..."
What a tall ass!
It's just a common method.
Li Yuanji sighed in his heart, shook his head, and waved his hand, indicating that Cai Yungong could leave.
Cai Yungong untied the knot in his heart and had nothing to say. He immediately bowed his hands and exited Zhaode Hall.
Li Yuanji rushed to Anlimen after Cai Yungong left.
Since I want to bring Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin with me, I have to go to Anli and say hello to them.
Otherwise, if they don't want to go, or if something happens on the way there, it will be a problem.
When Li Yuanji arrived at Anli Gate, Chang He was patrolling in front of the city gate building. When he saw Li Yuanji arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"How often do I see Your Highness..."
Li Yuanji hummed, nodded and said, "How are my eldest brother and second brother doing now?"
Chang He hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Li Yuanji said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."
Chang He gritted his teeth and said: "The situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the former King of Qin is not very good."
Li Yuanji was stunned and asked: "What do you mean by this, and what do you mean by not being too good?"
Chang He said bluntly: "Ever since your Highness came to Anlimen that day and talked with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the former King of Qin, they have had trouble sleeping and eating, and have been worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty all day long.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and His Highness the former King of Qin also looks sad all day long."
When Li Yuanji heard this, instead of feeling pity for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he laughed and said, "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
As long as either of them can put down their covetousness for the throne and put down their own ambitions and ambitions, they will not be "jailed" in Anlimen.
If the two of them could live in peace, he wouldn't go into battle naked and force himself to be the leader of the Tang Dynasty.
If the two of them could unite as one to build and develop the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty might become stronger, more prosperous, and more prosperous in history.
It's a pity that they just can't let go of their ambitions and aspirations and can't live in peace.
So what they are experiencing today is something they brought upon themselves, and they cannot blame others.
"Come with me and see."
Li Yuanji gave instructions to Chang He and took the lead to rush to the city gate building.
