In the Liangyi Hall, Prince Li Jiancheng, King of Qin Li Shimin, and King of Qi Li Yuanji were all present, as well as the prime ministers and assistants of the three provinces. Pei Shiju, who had been ill for the past few months, also came.
Feng Lun, who had just assumed the post of Zhongshu Ling, was quite high-profile. He was chatting with Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren on the side... regardless of the fact that these two people only said a few words every time they opened their mouths.
The palace official's announcement came, and Li Yuan walked into the palace. Li Shan behind him looked calm and collected.
Everyone in the palace knew the importance of Li Shan. After all, the matters discussed today were all related to Daizhou and Li Shan... Only Feng Lun was a little confused. Prince Zaifu was discussing something, and Li Shan actually followed His Majesty into the palace?
The power of the Prime Minister lies in the respective powers of the three provinces on the one hand, and on the other hand it also depends on the influence on the emperor and national policies... It is difficult to say which aspect has a greater proportion.
And Li Shan's appearance in Liangyi Palace means that he has a lot of influence on Li Yuan, which makes Feng Lun swallow his saliva... On the surface, he is the only one who has a grudge against Li Shan among the prime ministers.
.
The prime ministers and assistants present were all former Sui veterans. Li Yuan had always been gentle with these ministers. After chatting for a while, he specifically asked about Pei Shiju's condition before turning the topic to business.
The first and most important thing is the ownership of the acting governor.
Li Shan witnessed the head-on confrontation between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers in a formal occasion for the first time, and he speculated in his heart that it seemed that this was not in line with their respective styles.
Li Jiancheng has always been praised by courtiers as a courteous and virtuous corporal. He has always been gentle and elegant, but today he is aggressive. He brought up Li Shiji, the Duke of Cao Guo, who was defeated by Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai in Hebei.
However, Li Shimin's image of fighting bravely in the battle formation is a bit hidden. He echoed Li Jiancheng and praised Ren Gui for defending Xin'an to defeat Wang Shichong, and then defended Songzhou under Xu Yuanlang's strong attack. Then he mentioned Cui Shu.
, Zhang Gongjin...
Li Shan heard this matter mentioned by Ma Zhou. It happened at the beginning of the year before last. Xu Yuanlang rebelled and conquered Huaxian County and besieged Yucheng. Henan Province's pacifying ambassador appointed Cui Shu, and Zhang Gongjin led more than a hundred of his disciples from various states to act as hostages.
People went to guard Yucheng... At that time, Cui Shu and Zhang Gongjin had just transferred to the Tang Dynasty from Wang Shichong's command, and the Tang army generals were afraid that these two people would rebel.
After that, Xu Yuanlang led his army to attack, and Cui Shu and Zhang Gongjin had no choice but to kill the powerful proton threat... In the end, Xu Yuanlang failed to break through Yucheng, and Cui Shu and Zhang Gongjin could no longer rebel.
From this incident, we can clearly see the cruelty of Ren Gui's methods. He almost thrust the neck of the powerful proton into Cui Shu and Zhang Gongjin's knife. And today's Daizhou needs Huairou Yuan Junzhang's troops and Huairou Yuan Junzhang's troops.
Benevolent to the people outside the Great Wall, Ren Gui obviously did not meet this standard.
Li Shan secretly praised his cleverness in his heart. The most important thing is that Li Shimin's excuse will definitely impress Li Yuan... Of course, this is because Li Shan secretly informed Li Shimin through Ling Jing that Tuli Khan wanted to form an alliance.
Ren Gui is so fierce and has a strong desire for merit. If he finds an opportunity, he will not care whether his opponent is Jieli Khan or Tuli Khan.
Li Yuan listened for a while, then turned to look at Li Shan, "Huairen is now in charge of the acting prefecture general manager's office. He understands the situation, can you make any recommendations?"
Li Shan bowed and said: "This is a major military and state matter. Your Majesty, the prince, the prime minister and the assistants will discuss it together. As a humble minister, I dare not speak nonsense."
"But it doesn't matter."
According to the written script, Li Shan stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "With Mayi in hand, Yanmen can be secured, but the Turks are bound to invade this year. As the general manager of Daizhou, he must be well versed in the art of war, good at defending and also good at attacking.
.”
"If you are not good at defending, it will be difficult for Yanmen to withstand the siege of the Turkic army. If you are not good at attacking, if you sit back and watch Mayi fall, it will be difficult for Yanmen to survive alone."
This reason is not wrong, but it is basically nonsense. Li Jiancheng was a little confused when he heard it, "So we should choose a famous general... Who does Huairen recommend?"
"Ambassador of Lingnan Province, Secretary of the Ministry of War of Jiangnan Province, Yongkang County Duke Li Pharmacist."
The hall was quiet for a moment, and everyone exchanged glances. This candidate... most people knew in their hearts. I'm afraid it was not Li Shan's recommendation, but His Majesty's intention.
From the point of view of his profound knowledge of the art of war, Li Jing is well-deserved. He leveled Liang in two months. During this period, he fought several battles. Some of them struck with lightning strikes, reaching his heart, some of them avoided the enemy's front and frustrated the enemy's spirit, or he planted suspicious troops and tricked the enemy into surrendering.
Learn the secrets of the art of war.
Afterwards, Li Jing tried to pacify Lingnan. Wherever he went, people watched the wind and surrendered. He even visited ninety-six states, which shows his tactics.
The most important thing is that although Li Jing was first born in the Qin Prince's Palace, he was not regarded as a direct descendant of Li Shimin... Li Jiancheng glanced at his second brother opposite him. He should have been in the Duke of Qin's Palace at that time.
Li Jing did not participate in the two battles of Qianshuiyuan and Baibi. He later accompanied Li Shimin in his expedition to Luoyang, but was sent to Shu by Li Yuan soon after and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the march, and also served as Li Xiaogong's march commander Shi.
In fact, many courtiers believed that Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, seemed to have done great work, but in fact, he relied on Li Jing... Because in the battle to destroy Liang in the fourth year of Wude, several battles were personally directed by Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong fought.
After a disastrous defeat in the first battle, Li Jing took action to turn defeat into victory.
Of course, the most important thing is that before the battle to destroy Liang, Li Yuan wrote in his handwriting "The responsibility of the three armies is to appoint Jing"... Li Jing was the de facto commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Later in the Jianghuai War, Li Yuan finally trusted Li Jing as to whether to advance step by step or to take Danyang directly with light troops.
It can be said that Li Jing was a famous general who was personally promoted by Li Yuan. The latter once praised him so much, "Jing is a descendant of Xiao Mian, and his assistant Duke Er is dying. How can the famous generals of Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo in ancient times be as good as him!"
Of course, in the Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi, Li Keshi entered Tiance Mansion, Li Qianyou entered Prince Qi Mansion, and Li Yaoshi was Li Yuan's person... In a sense, they are on the same ground as the East Palace.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng made a decision quickly and glanced sideways at Pei Ji.
"The pharmacist is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War of Jiangnan Province and has not yet resigned as the pacification ambassador of Lingnan Province." Pei Ji said with a smile: "It will be difficult to go north to Daizhou in a short time."
"The war in the Jianghuai River has not yet been settled, but there is Huairen in Daizhou now... In the spring and summer, the Turks will not attack rashly." Li Yuan nodded and said: "When the war is settled, let the pharmacist lead the Jianghuai troops to the north to take up their posts. Is there anything you can do?
objection?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other without saying a word. The former was thinking that although he could not win over Li Jing, at least the benefits did not fall into the hands of his second brother.
And Li Shimin was thinking, this is how my eldest brother will be for the rest of his life...
The Prime Minister below had no objections. Pei Shiju's white eyebrows trembled slightly. On the one hand, he was frightened by Li Shan's influence on His Majesty. On the other hand, he was wondering whether Li Jing might be won over by Li Shimin?
Feng Lun, who was entering the Liangyi Hall for discussion for the first time, smiled and said: "That's very good. Although Huairen and the pharmacist have not met, they have an incense relationship after all, and they will definitely be able to cooperate seamlessly."
Li Shanwei lowered his eyes and took a few steps back without paying any attention to this guy.
These words were said in a strange and strange way, and they were nothing more than referring to Li Kai, who was appointed as acting county magistrate, and Li Yaoshi, who worked in Tiance Mansion... Li Shan's impression of Feng Lun was immediately worse, and he thought in his mind
Let's go back and look for an opportunity to give this guy a sap!
