Because Quan Xu and Hou Junji both want to climb up and become dazzling.
It's just that the two people have different purposes. Quan Xu climbed up to prove himself, while Hou Junji climbed up for glory and wealth and power.
As for the ferocious tiger, it’s Ren Gui.
Ren Gui, an old waiter whose abilities are not inferior to those of Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Huang Junhan and others, is mixed with four "young men" Quan Xu, Hou Junji, Yu Wenbao and Kan Leng, so he is nothing but a ferocious tiger.
In terms of qualifications, Ren Gui has a head start on all of them. In terms of ability, Ren Gui can also hold a head above them all. In terms of experience and experience in official circles, Ren Gui can push them to the ground and rub them.
Ren Gui was the man who helped Li Jiancheng securely hold on to Li Jiancheng's foundation in Duji Road, Hebei Road, and Henan Road when Li Shimin was in power in these places.
Although Li Shimin was such a powerful person and had so many powerful counselors under his command, he still failed to recapture Ren Gui, causing Ren Gui to turn against him.
Young men such as Quan Xu and Hou Junji are even less likely to be his opponents.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others had been poaching Ren Gui for several years, but they only poached Zhang Gongjin from Ren Gui.
When Li Shimin was shining brightly in Duji Province, Hebei Province, and Henan Province, Ren Gui was still able to step out of his light, build his own achievements, and let everyone see him.
So if Ren Gui keeps an eye on Dian Quanxu and Hou Junji, and looks after Dian Yuwenbao and Kan Leng, he will definitely be able to handle them easily.
It's just that Ren Gui is currently in Yuezhou, busy building a city and farming. He has no way to return to Chang'an City, so he can only send a message to explain that the only one he can see now is Quan Xu.
Quan Xu happened to be in Chang'an City in the past few days.
Under Zhao Chengyong's summons, Quan Xu arrived at the palace quickly. Li Yuanji did not tell Quan Xu explicitly, asking Quan Xu to form a circle with Hou Junji, Yu Wenbao, and Kan Leng.
Encouraging people under his command to form cliques is not what a person in power should do.
It is what a person in power should do to attack the people under his command and form cliques.
So Li Yuanji just made an insinuation and asked Quan Xu to communicate more with Hou Junji, Yu Wenbao, Kan Leng and others. Otherwise, no one would recommend him if he had the chance to make contributions.
A suitable reason.
Quan Xu is a smart man, he knows everything right.
So on the night when Quan Xu left the palace, there was another Mrs. Ru in Kan Leng's house, and so was Yu Wenbao. Although Hou Junji was not there, a direct descendant of the Quan family went to the Hou family to propose marriage.
The Quan family has been an official for generations and belongs to a duke's family. He took the initiative to go to a marquis family of the Hou family to propose marriage, which was very honorable to the Hou family.
If it weren't for the fact that the Hou family's eldest daughter had already been booked by someone with a higher status, Mrs. Hou Junji would have wanted to marry her eldest daughter into the Quan family.
In the end, the elders of the Quan family and Mrs. Hou Junji agreed and betrothed Hou Junji's second daughter to a direct descendant of the Quan family.
And Hou Junji's second daughter is only one year old now.
After Li Yuanji got the news, everyone went numb.
I asked you to communicate more with Hou Junji, Yu Wenbao, Kan Leng and others. I just asked you to simply communicate. I didn’t ask you to form a marriage?!
Now Li Yuanji finally understood why the royal families of all dynasties would not spare no effort to enter into marriages with civil and military ministers.
If the royal family doesn't take action, the civil and military ministers will take action against each other. When they join forces and become monolithic, the royal family will be in danger.
More importantly, it is very difficult for the royal family to attack anyone in the family.
Because as soon as you open your mouth, countless people will stand up to oppose you, and countless people will stand up to defend you. You may not be able to say everything completely, let alone attack others.
Facts have proved that running a country is really not something humans do.
Any act of compassion on your part may cause great harm to the country.
Only when you are ruthless, righteous and have no desires can you govern the country well and become a wise king.
Therefore, the reason why those in power have become lonely, cold-blooded animals is because of the power given to them and the needs of the country.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
Just when Li Yuanji was lamenting what Quan Xu had done, Li Gang woke Li Yuanji up one after another.
Li Yuanji came back to his senses and looked at Li Gang, who was sitting at the head of Taiji Highness, "Huh?"
Li Gang said helplessly: "Jieli sent someone over again, but this time he didn't ask us for anything. Instead, he promised us countless benefits and promised to send Tang Jian and others back intact.
.”
Li Yuanji chuckled and said: "It seems that he already knows that Sunisu is in contact with us. He is giving in to us. He hopes that we will not interfere in the fight between him and Sunisu and just watch with cold eyes."
Li Gang nodded happily and said, "That should be the case..."
The Tang Dynasty has now not only changed from being bullied by the Turks to bullying the Turks, but has also become the target of two forces within the Turks competing to win over, and has become the arbiter of the life and death of the two forces within the Turks.
This is an inspiration to everyone in Datang.
As a participant and having made certain contributions, Li Gang feels full of accomplishment.
It is natural to be happy.
If you are unhappy then there is a problem.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then how do you think we should reply to Jie Li?"
Li Gang said with a smile: "First let them fulfill all the things they promised, and then let them send Tang Jian and others back intact. The rest will naturally depend on who between him and Sunisu
It’s the greatest benefit to us.”
Anyway, the Turks have now fallen into civil strife. The more chaotic the Turks are, the better it will be for the Tang Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, Datang naturally waited for a price to sell.
Who you support and who you don't support depends on who offers the benefits first and who gives more benefits.
Anyway, Datang will not suffer any loss.
"Then do as you wish."
Li Yuanji said with a smile.
I feel very happy.
It feels so good to be begged and provided for by my former enemy.
It would be even better if you could push the enemy to the ground and rub it repeatedly until he completely disappears from the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Gang smiled and nodded in agreement, then hesitated and said: "By the way, Kinderman, the daughter of King Lelang of Silla, wants to see you."
Li Yuanji was stunned, "Kinderman, not Jin Shengman?"
Although Kinderman and Kim Seungman eventually became the queens of Silla, Kinderman's father Kim Baekjeong is now in charge of Silla.
Kim Baek-jung had no sons, so Kinde-man was considered the crown prince of Silla.
Logically speaking, Jin Baijing shouldn't send his only daughter and only heir to pay tribute, but he didn't expect that he actually did?
Isn't he afraid that Kinderman will do something bad in Datang and that he will have no successor?
You know, the Tang Dynasty would not care what accidents happened to the envoys of other countries on their way to the Tang Dynasty. If the envoys of other countries had any accidents in the Tang Dynasty, Datang would not give an explanation to the Tang Dynasty.
Reasonable.
So if Kinderman died in Datang, his death would be in vain.
If Silla had Turkic forces, it could lead a large army to ask Datang for an explanation.
The problem is that Datang will not give any explanation and will not be afraid of the Silla army.
Not only that, the Tang Dynasty would also send envoys to ask the King of Silla for an explanation.
If the Tang Dynasty was not satisfied with the instructions given by the King of Silla, the Tang Dynasty could invade Silla anytime and anywhere.
In this matter, both Goguryeo and Baekje were willing to be the forerunners of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Silla.
Therefore, it is completely meaningless for Jin Baijing to let his daughter come to Datang. If his daughter died in Datang, he would not even have the strength to ask Datang for an explanation.
So Li Yuanji didn't understand why Jin Baijing sent Kinderman here.
Could it be that he is here to seduce the people in power of the Tang Dynasty again and seek wealth?
The problem is that since the last time Jin Shengman hooked up with Li Shimin to no avail, Jin Baijing should have known Datang's attitude?
It was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to let the prince's son and grandson escape.
Jin Baijing thinks his daughter can change this kind of thing?
"It's Kinderman, a beauty who looks like a fairy..."
It is very impolite to rashly comment on the appearance of a princess of another country, but Li Gang just commented, and he was not afraid that Silla would be unhappy, and he was not afraid that the King of Silla would ask him to accuse him.
Because the Tang Dynasty was strong and domineering enough, no matter how dissatisfied the King of Silla was with the Tang Dynasty, he would not dare to grin at the Tang Dynasty.
This is the confidence that a strong country brings to people.
Li Yuanji disagreed.
What’s the use of looking like a fairy?!
It’s not about entertaining people with sex and gaining the strength to survive.
He is not a person like Li Yuan or Li Shimin. Jin Deman, let alone a fairy in appearance, can't influence him even if he is a real fairy.
"So? What is the purpose of her trip? Like her cousin, she is planning to seduce me so that I can give her a man and a woman, and then use this to blackmail me into supporting them to gain a foothold in the pinch between Goguryeo and Baekje?"
Li Yuanji stared at Li Gang blankly and asked.
Li Gang stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It is my great fortune that Your Highness is not fascinated by beauty. However, His Highness guessed wrong. The purpose of Kinderman's trip was not to find His Highness for seed, but to hope
I, the Tang Dynasty, can send troops to station in Silla."
"ah?!"
Li Yuanji was a little confused.
What and what?
Silla wants Tang Dynasty to send troops to settle in?!
The successors of the peninsula like to do this kind of thing, but this is more than a thousand years ago, and it is the Tang Dynasty now?!
Although the successors of Peninsula succeeded Peninsula, they are not necessarily of the same race.
After all, in history, although Yang Guang and Li Shimin failed to completely solve the peninsula, Li Zhi solved most of the peninsula's problems and relocated many people.
Many indigenous people from the peninsula were also relocated, so there is a greater chance that the successors of the peninsula will be of Han descent.
Although they do not recognize their ancestors and like to brag about their ancestors, this cannot change the fact that the Han people are their ancestors.
It is very possible that Silla of the Kim family has no blood relationship with them, but making the same request as them always makes people feel that something is wrong.
Could it be that the feng shui of that place is not good, and if serious people live there for a long time, they will change the style of painting to something strange?
"Why would they have such a request?"
After Li Yuanji came to his senses, he asked with a strange expression.
Li Gang couldn't help laughing and said: "It is said that he heard about the terms negotiated between us and Sunisu and came up with the idea at the last minute."
Li Yuanji joked angrily and funnyly: "They have such an idea at the moment? Want to invite a bunch of dads back?"
Li Gang was amused for a moment, and said with a chuckle: "They don't want to invite a bunch of dads back, they really need my help from the Tang Dynasty to survive under the prying eyes of Goguryeo and Baekje.
As far as I know, King Lelang has been in poor health for the past two years, and King Lelang has no heirs, only a daughter like Kinderman, so both Goguryeo and Baekje have coveted Silla.
Now Goguryeo has begun to secretly test Silla. If Silla does not get help from the Tang Dynasty, it is very likely that Silla will be destroyed by Goguryeo after the death of King Lelang.
So they must ask me, the Tang Dynasty, for help, and only I, the Tang Dynasty, can protect them from Goguryeo and Baekje."
