In the pavilion, Li Yuan was silent, his eyes fell on the small cotton-padded jacket, and he seemed to be very interested.
Li Shan, who was sitting in the first place, said sincerely: "I am a humble person, although I have a small reputation, but without your majesty's trust, how could I suddenly ascend to a high position and rule four states for a long time? This is not only unprecedented in the world, but also unprecedented.
example."
"I won't be crowned until next year. If I am appointed as the acting governor of the state, there will be objections in the court. If your majesty appoints me, if something goes wrong in the future, it will be a trivial matter for me to have an uncertain future. I will only damage your majesty's kindness."
"If I make new achievements again, I will drive north and beyond the Great Wall..." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the story of the champion will be repeated."
After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but blush a little, and cursed: "That fellow Sanhu..."
"Uncle, this is not the fault of His Highness Prince Qi." Li Shan smiled and said: "It was actually my mother who was a little disrespectful to Princess Qi that day..."
"I heard what Pingyang said!" Li Yuan waved his sleeves and said, "Let Sanhu apologize today."
"I can't make up my mind." Li Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle, His Highness the King of Qi really has good intentions. That day, before my nephew went north to take office, he came to visit Chang Anling and happened to meet him... His Highness the King of Qi wanted to be a matchmaker, but I politely declined."
Li Yuan's expression changed slightly, and Sanhu also wanted to win over him... He looked up and saw the helplessness and bitterness on Li Shan's face.
Li Shan adjusted his expression and said sternly: "My nephew has not yet been crowned, and he has the ambition to make contributions, but he is not in a hurry... What's more, it has only been a year since he became an official, and he is already in the fifth rank. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
?”
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I don't grant you the title of acting governor. Actually, I have other intentions... Huairen, Huairen, you act prudently but also act erratically. If you want to set up a valley, you can set up two people... If you still have
In Daizhou, I am only afraid of Jieli, and Tuli feels like this..."
"Third sister is also worried." Li Shan chuckled and said, "If the Turkic army attacks, my nephew will also be frightened... I also ask my uncle to appoint the post of acting governor as soon as possible, and my nephew will return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Li Yuan laughed and asked casually: "Dalang recommended Guan Guogong, and Erlang recommended Cao Guogong. The former is stable, and the latter is also a famous general at that time. Although Huairen has been in Daizhou for only a year, he knows the inside story. Who is more suitable?"
?”
After hearing this, Li Shan cast a resentful look, "Other people don't know, and uncle doesn't know why my nephew invited himself out of Beijing last year?"
"On New Year's Eve, I happened to receive an official document from the DPRK and China. My nephew's head was really as big as a bucket that day..."
"It's like a nephew standing on the edge of a cliff. Only his uncle can save him. But his uncle not only didn't save him, but also pushed him!"
Li Yuan laughed so hard that he laughed and cursed: "That's nonsense!"
"As the acting governor of the state takes office, I also ask my uncle to summon my nephew back to the court immediately."
Li Shan sighed and said: "There are overt and covert fights, overt and covert attacks, and even the discussion has to be fought over to win or lose."
"Didn't Pingyang let Ma Sanbao go and return Su Dingfang to you?"
"It's of no use. Ma Sanbao looks rough and arrogant, but he is actually very careful, so he won't get involved." Li Shan complained bitterly: "Su Dingfang and his nephew are close friends, but he is taciturn... and all the officials in Daizhou's governor's office are...
It was recommended by two parties, but I couldn’t get involved.”
Li Yuan nodded secretly. Indeed, it is really difficult for a young man like Li Shan to take charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office.
Looking at the sky, the Liangyi Hall was not in a hurry to discuss matters, so Li Yuan casually asked about the generals who were appointed to Daizhou.
Li Shan commented: "Some have a stable temperament, some are bold, some are good at military strategy, or some are good at riding and fighting, and they all have their own abilities. Among them, Zhang Gongjin, a bieji of Daizhou, is the most outstanding. This man can lift a cauldron and is good at fighting.
He is capable of fighting and managing politics, and is both civil and military."
After a pause, Li Shan grinned and whispered: "My nephew just met His Highness King Qin..."
"What's wrong?"
"His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't look very good." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said, "I encountered something on the way back to Beijing..."
After hearing what Li Shan said, Li Yuan shook his head and said: "There are many lawless people in the Yuan clan... But you want Zhang Gongjin to check the fields?"
"Military camp." Li Shan said softly: "Mayi is the throat of the Great Wall. We cannot allow them to surrender to the enemy. I intend to have Yuan Junzhang's troops select the old and weak and eliminate them, and then march to establish military camps in Daizhou, Xinzhou and other places."
"It's a mutual advantage." Li Yuan hesitated, "We will discuss this matter later. When Yuan Junzhang comes to the court... I have given him permission to enter the capital, and he will arrive in the next few days."
"It's very clever to be so fast." Li Shan leaned forward and whispered: "Yuan Junzhang has lost his ambition, so he should not object to this matter."
"Mayi, Mayi..." Li Yuan muttered a few words, "If we can defend Mayi, it will be difficult for the Turks to invade Hedong."
As far as the current situation is concerned, the biggest role of guarding Mayi is to push the front line beyond Yanmen Pass, which can restore vitality to Hedong Road... On his way back to Beijing this time, Li Shan saw with his own eyes that the conditions in various prefectures were better than last year.
Much more. The reason is very simple. The Turks did not loot Hedong last year.
In the past few years, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang almost reached the Yellow River, and then Yuan Junzhang attacked every year. Jieli Khan personally led his army into the fortress three times, and once he almost penetrated the entire Hedong Road.
Li Yuan asked softly: "If Yuan Junzhang is left in Chang'an, can Liu Shirang be able to defend Mayi?"
"It may be possible for Yuan Junzhang to lead the governor of Shuozhou from afar, and Liu Shirang to be the long history, and gradually replace the lieutenants, generals, and soldiers, and completely control Mayi." Li Shan said after careful consideration: "If your majesty can select a general to be Liu Shirang's deputy,
That will give you more confidence.”
After hearing this suggestion, Li Yuan was noncommittal, and Li Shan was saying vaguely... The Mayi garrison should still be led by Liu Shirang. After all, Liu Shirang would be impossible to surrender to the enemy if he killed Yu Sheshe with his own hands.
But the problem is to partner with Liu Shirang... There are not many such candidates in the first place, and it is best if they are not under the East Palace or the Prince of Qin's Palace. In addition, the whole court has said that Liu Shirang should be killed, so there are even fewer candidates.
Waiting for the Jianghuai war to calm down, the Turks will not be able to attack before at least May. The Jianghuai side should be finished next month at the most... Various thoughts swirled in Li Yuan's mind, and he casually asked: "This time Yanmen
If you are not promoted to a great victory, you should be promoted to a noble title. The prince suggested that the Duke of Yue Jin should be promoted, but Pingyang refused. What does Huairen think?"
"Third sister is afraid that my nephew will be promoted too quickly." Li Shan rolled his eyes, "Why don't your majesty give you more gold, silver, jewels, farms, and slaves?"
Li Yuan smiled half-heartedly, and nodded to Li Shan, "You are young, but you have a lot to think about."
Having achieved great merit and not being promoted to a position or title, but asking for money, this is imitating Wang Jian, the famous general of the Qin Dynasty... except that Wang Jian was afraid that his achievements would overshadow his master, while Li Shan committed suicide to avoid seizing his legitimate son.
"That's all, I have my own plan for this matter." Li Yuan had a strange look on his face, "Today, Liangyi Palace is discussing matters, and the most important one is Daizhou General Manager. Can Huairen recommend me?"
Li Shan's head was shaking like a rattle, thinking that the series of foreshadowing he had done before had some effect.
With Chang Shi in charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office, he could not be promoted after the Yanmen victory. Li Yuan would probably ask Li Shan for his opinion on the candidate for the Daizhou General Manager... and Li Shan used these foreshadowings to make Li Yuan finally ask.
