Li Yuan was still thinking about whether Changsun Anye was a suitable person, and Li Shimin couldn't help shouting, "I've deceived my elder brother, now he's trying to deceive me again, right? I've almost lost everything, only a little bit of reputation is left. Now
Do you even want to take away my reputation?"
Li Yuanji said funnyly: "Everything is done by Changsun Anye. If anything happens, it will be his responsibility. It has nothing to do with you, so why should you complain?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened and he said: "I have nothing now, only a little bit of reputation left. If I don't even have this bit of fame, how do you expect me to go to see my mother under the Nine Springs?"
Li Yuanji hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say.
Good guy, even Queen Taimu has moved out, now it’s hard to force others to do anything.
After all, of the four people here, one is Empress Taimu's husband, and three are Empress Taimu's sons. Empress Taimu is gone. Once Empress Taimu is mentioned, she must be given some face.
Otherwise it will cause public outrage.
Although with Li Yuanji's power, even if he ignored Empress Taimu's face in some matters, Li Yuan would not chase her and shout to kill her.
But after all, she is the late mother of her predecessor, and she is a taboo of the venerable, so she must still give her the face she can.
"You have the nerve to mention your mother. If your mother knew what you did, she would be ashamed to death!"
Li Yuanji was blocked by Li Shimin's words, but it does not mean that Li Yuan was also blocked by Li Shimin's words.
After Li Yuan heard about Li Shimin's late wife's attack, he criticized Li Shimin mercilessly.
After criticizing Li Shimin, without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, he said arrogantly: "This matter is settled! If you two dare to cause trouble! I want you to look good!"
After saying that, Li Yuan gave Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin a hard look.
The expressions on Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's faces instantly became very ugly, and they felt worse than eating shit, but they did not dare to speak again.
Because they could see that Li Yuan was talking to them seriously and was not joking with them.
When they gathered their forces in the palace and killed each other, they lost the qualification to obtain father's love from Li Yuan.
So if they want to behave well in front of Li Yuan, it is no longer possible to get through.
In fact, they were not the only ones, Li Yuanji also lost the qualification to be a good boy.
So after the Xuanwu Sect, it had been a long time since he had acted stupid and dumbfounded in front of Li Yuan.
"Yuan Day is a good time. At that time, I will meet with Zhang Liang during the banquet for the ministers and talk about opening an elementary school in Xingyang. I will also ask all the women in the palace to go to Sanguan Temple
Praying for blessings, when the time comes, you can let the Yuwen Bao under your hand open an opening and let Guanyin Maid go out of the palace and meet the eldest grandson Anye secretly."
After Li Yuan reminded Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he talked about his plan.
If it had been in the past, he wouldn't have had to say these words to others. He could just wait until the first day and do it directly.
But now, he still reported it to Li Yuanji.
This is a kind of respect, respect for the people in power in the Tang Dynasty.
This shows that in his heart, he already regards Li Yuanji as the real leader of the Tang Dynasty.
Although he was the former person in power, he did not rely on his superiority, let alone his seniority. Instead, he very seriously maintained the majesty of the current person in power.
"I have written down everything my father said. When I get back, I will send someone to deliver orders to Yu Wenbao."
Li Yuan was willing to give him face and defend him as the real leader of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Yuanji would naturally have to take care of him.
If you are showing off at this time, you are not showing off, but Shabi.
"Let's talk about the specific details..."
After chatting with Li Yuan about the details all afternoon and taking everything into consideration, Li Yuanji finally left Yanxi Hall.
After leaving the main entrance of Yanxi Hall, Li Shimin caught up with him from behind when he met Wan Chun who was speculating about his uneasiness at the entrance of the hall.
"Second brother, fourth brother..."
Wan Chun gave the gift very timidly.
Li Shimin just nodded and waved his hand to signal Wan Chun to leave first.
Although he has lost all authority and power, his oppression of Wan Chun is still there, and that is due to bloodline oppression.
Therefore, even though Wan Chun was reluctant, he had to retreat to the side of Yanxi Hall.
After Wanchun retreated, Li Shimin said seriously: "Yuanji, I can help you, but you must agree to one condition!"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin in surprise, wondering why Li Shimin suddenly put aside his opinion and was willing to help.
However, it would be a good thing if Li Shimin is willing to help.
It would also be easier if Li Shimin personally presided over the sale of officials and titles.
"What conditions?"
"Can you let Xuan Ling and Auxiliary Machine out? They have been in the water prison of Dali Temple for almost a year. If they stay here any longer, it will cost them their lives."
"..."
Li Yuanji did not speak, but stared at Li Shimin intently.
Li Shimin said eagerly: "I know you are guarding against me and are afraid that I will make a comeback. But you cannot give up on talents like Xuan Ling and Auxiliary Machine because of this.
They are the few smart people in our Datang Dynasty, and they are also the few outstanding people in our Datang Dynasty. With their help, you will get twice the result with half the effort no matter what you do.
You should give them a chance to come out and work for you."
Li Yuanji still stared at Li Shimin without saying a word.
He heard some sincerity in Li Shimin's words.
Li Shimin really cared about the talents of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and did not want them to be buried.
But he also heard some hypocrisy in Li Shimin's words.
It is true that Li Shimin pitied the talents of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and it is also true that Li Shimin wanted to take advantage of these two people.
It’s hard to decide how to choose.
To be honest, in his heart, he still values Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji very much.
If he could take these two people for his own use, he would definitely not be polite.
After all, Fang Xuanling is not something to be talked about casually. Fang Xuanling can stand out among the outstanding figures of the Tang Dynasty and become one of the only confidants under Li Shimin. This shows that his ability to plan affairs is very important in the Tang Dynasty.
One of the best.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Fang Xuanling helps him with his affairs, he can save more worry and effort.
As for making decisions, he has a vision far beyond that of anyone in this era, so he must have Du Ruhui to help him make decisions, so Du Ruhui is dispensable.
There is also Changsun Wuji, a figure who was able to stir up troubles in the Wude Dynasty, Zhenguan Dynasty, and Yonghui Dynasty. He was able to sneak into the position of a powerful minister and help the emperor manage the country. He was a prosperous figure who was enough to help him plan, make decisions, and preside over many things.
event.
Changsun Wuji could handle matters such as destroying the foundation of a wealthy family, collecting money for the national treasury, and improving the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty in all aspects.
Compared with Xu Jingzong and Cai Yungong, they are more than one level higher.
Compared with Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu and others, I'm afraid he will not be weaker.
It's a pity that these two people are die-hard loyalists of Li Shimin, especially Changsun Wuji, who almost pinned everything on Li Shimin. If you want to use them, you must be able to withstand their backlash.
And once these two people gather strength and backlash, the consequences will be very serious.
"Yes, I can give them a chance! However, Fang Xuanling must go to Liangzhou to help me weaken the influence of the An family on Liangzhou. Changsun Wuji must also go to Jiaozhou and help me cultivate 100 acres of land within ten years.
Thousands of acres of fertile land.
If they can do it, then I don't mind letting them return to the court and entrusting them with important responsibilities.
If they can't do it, it means they are not as talented as you said, second brother, and then they are only worthy of staying in the water prison of Dali Temple and accompanying the rats inside."
Li Yuanji thought about it and finally decided to give Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji a chance.
However, before using them, they must temper their temperament and make them realize who is in charge of Datang now, and make them realize that it is no longer possible to help Li Shimin make a comeback.
Only by killing the hope in their hearts and allowing them to recognize the reality can they be reused.
When Li Shimin heard that Fang Xuanling was going to be sent to Liangzhou, he didn't have much reaction.
Liangzhou is now the private territory of the An family. Although the leader of Liangzhou, An Xinggui, has been recalled to serve in Chang'an City, Liangzhou is still under the control of the An family.
Therefore, if the An family's influence on Liangzhou is not weakened, Liangzhou will become a disaster to the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.
Although asking Fang Xuanling to do this seems a bit difficult, on the other hand, it is also an important task.
As long as Fang Xuanling can do this well, gain Li Yuanji's trust, and be entrusted with important responsibilities again, then with his talents, it is no problem to be granted the title of Duke and Prime Minister.
So Li Yuanji did give Fang Xuanling a good opportunity.
When Li Shimin heard that Changsun Wuji was going to be sent to Jiaozhou, he finally became uneasy and exclaimed: "You want the auxiliary machine to go to Jiaozhou to join the savages?!"
Li Yuanji tilted his head and stared at Li Shimin and said: "What's wrong with the savages? Savages are human beings too! Let him help me in the Tang Dynasty teach the savages and guard the place. I think highly of him."
If I look down on him, I will treat him as if he is in the water prison of Dali Temple and stay there until he dies!"
Li Shimin stared and shouted: "Those savages are not convinced by Wang Hua. It is simply impossible for you to ask the auxiliary machine to lead them to cultivate one million acres of wasteland in ten years.
You want the auxiliary machine to stay in Jiaozhou all his life and die in Jiaozhou!"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "I just knew there was a difficulty, so I sent him there. If there were no difficulties, I could just send anyone there, so why send him?"
Besides, didn't you say he was a great talent?
If he can't even do this well, it proves that he is not a great talent, but a talent and not worthy of being reused!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "You are deliberately making things difficult for the auxiliary machines. You are not giving the auxiliary machines a chance, let alone reusing them!"
Li Yuanji did not rush to refute Li Shimin's words, but sighed and asked: "Second brother, what did you think when you led the army to conquer the coalition forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
Li Yuanji continued: "Before leaving Chang'an, did you think it was impossible to defeat them, so you came to Chang'an with the idea of a tie with them or regaining lost ground?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Although he was unwilling to encourage Li Yuanji's unhealthy tendencies to make things difficult for Changsun Wuji, he had to admit that this was what he thought when he left Chang'an.
Because at that time, the combined forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande numbered more than 200,000, and the other miscellaneous troops totaled more than 100,000.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty could mobilize only 80,000 to 90,000 troops.
So he didn't dare to think that he would win, and that he would win big.
He indeed went to fight Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande with the intention of drawing a tie or regaining some lost ground.
The reason why he won and won a great victory was that while he was fighting, he discovered that the alliance between Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande was not so indestructible.
The soldiers and horses of both sides always make mistakes when fighting together.
He recognized this mistake and went to kill Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's troops time and time again. Then when Dou Jiande led an army of 100,000 troops to Hulao Pass, he took a risk, reversed the entire battle situation, and secured victory.
He also understood what Li Yuanji was telling him.
Li Yuanji was telling him that everything depends on human effort.
If you back down from the beginning because it's impossible, you'll never achieve anything big.
"Second brother, I remember that you didn't stay at Anlimen for long?"
