Chapter 581 The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan finally made a decision.
Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao County did not deal with it for the time being. The minister of the Ministry of Industry responded to the Duke of the State, Warrior Xun, and went south to serve as the governor of Yangzhou. The Duke of Yongkang County... Li Yuan only said that if there is no problem in Jiangnan, he will go north to take up the post as soon as possible.
In other words, without a new acting governor, this pot, just as Li Shan and Li Kai had guessed, really fell on Li Shan's head.
Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin both had the same idea in mind. Officials from the Yangzhou Governor's Office secretly reported Li Xiaogong's rebellion. Could it be that Pei Shiju secretly took action?
According to Pei Shiju's acting style, it is very likely that he will not attack Li Shan directly, but try to put him in danger and kill people with a knife, whether he is appointed as acting county magistrate or to recruit Yuan Junzhang.
If Li Jing cannot go north for a while, and if Li Yuan listens to Pei Shiju's advice today and does not send another governor to Daizhou, then the only one who can lead the war is Li Shan.
Jieli Khan invaded Hedong several times before, firstly to plunder supplies and people, and secondly for political purposes. But if Li Shan led the army, his only son was captured alive twice and was humiliated like this... What would Jieli Khan do?
Wouldn't he be furious and attack Hedong like crazy?
Although Li Tang now stationed heavy troops in Daizhou and pushed the battle line to Shuozhou west of Yanmen Pass, it was impossible to compete with Jieli Khan who was attacking with all his strength.
In fact, during the Wude period, when Li Tang's situation against the Turks was limited to Hedong, he did not stick to Yanmen Pass, but focused on Taiyuan Prefecture.
Historically, in the fifth year of Wude, the seventh year of Wude, and the eighth year of Wude, the Turks occupied Daizhou and Xinzhou and harassed Taiyuan. Li Yuan sent King Qin and King Qi to lead an army out to control Hedong.
Therefore, despite Daizhou's troubles in the past six months, in fact the main force of Hedong Road is concentrated around Taiyuan Prefecture, and belongs to Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, the general manager of Bingzhou.
As long as the Turks did not break through the border, Li Daozong would not be able to cross the border and go north. Once the Turks broke through the border, Li Shan's fate would be dire even if he did not die in battle... Pei Shiju had many means to deal with it.
Could it be that Pei Shiju secretly reported Li Xiaogong's rebellion?
Princess Pingyang was not sure and looked sideways. King Qin Li Shimin stared at Prince Li Jiancheng across from him with a sullen face.
A smile appeared on Li Jiancheng's lips. In his opinion, Pei Shiju was doing his best for him... If he held on to Yanmen Pass, then Zhang Shigui, one of the few generals in the King of Qin's lineage who could stand alone, would most likely perish outside the Great Wall.
When Li Jing takes office and Li Shan returns to the court, he will transfer Su Dingfang away. The army will be led by Xue Wanche, who will act as the Sima of the state, record affairs and participate in the military affairs. They will all be under the command of the East Palace... In the future, it is very likely that Daizhou will successfully become the private territory of the East Palace.
From the perspective of the beneficiary, the possibility of the prince and Pei Shiju taking action is very high...but Li Shimin knew very well that the prince was unaware of the inside story, and the only possibility was Pei Shiju.
Like Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin is not sure whether it was Pei Shiju's instigation, but it is not too difficult to be sure. There are many of his old subordinates in Jiangnan, such as Li Shiji, the general manager of Qizhou who has not left yet. Li Xiaogong really wants to rebel.
, Li Shiji will not be able to find any traces afterwards.
However, Li Shimin guessed that the possibility of Li Xiaogong's attempt to rebel was very small...even almost non-existent, after all, everyone was back.
But unlike Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin no longer cares whether this was planned by Pei Shiju. The matter has become a fact. In the next period of time, Li Shan can only support the overall situation. Maybe Li Jing can go north to take office as soon as possible.
Li Shimin glanced at Pei Shiju. This old guy might prevent Li Jing from going north. He had to be careful in this regard... Well, if it was not convenient for him to come forward, he could find an excuse for the third sister to confront him. Anyway, the third sister now knows the inside story.
The news spread quickly. Pei Shiju walked out of Chengtian Gate with the support of the waiter. Before he could enter the gate, he saw Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe, striding towards him.
"Does the Marquis of Qinghe County want to question me?" Pei Shiju still had a smile on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was clearly revealed.
Glancing at Cui Xin, who was almost furious, Yang Gongren, Feng Lun and other prime ministers and other ministers deliberately walked around... From a certain point of view, it was natural for Cui Xin to come to question him. His son-in-law was about to return to the court, but you were
It is very likely that you will have to face the Turkic army directly.
How far is it from Yangzhou to Daizhou?
It's almost as far as the north and south. Calculating the time, it is already mid-May. It is difficult for Li Jing to lead his troops north to reach Daizhou before the Turks attack.
After waving the waiter to leave, Pei Shiju stood tremblingly outside Chengtian Gate and said softly: "Last year, I received a gift from you, so I should give something in return. I wonder why the Marquis of Qinghe County is so angry?"
The meaning of this sentence is obvious. After recruiting Yuan Junzhang last year, Li Shan asked you to bring Yu Sheshe's leather hat with blood on it. Obviously, there is no room for both sides. Either you die or I die.
This land is all over, and I should take action, shouldn’t I?
Life and death, life and death... I can't just let him, Li Huairen, chop off my head, right?
Cui Xin took a deep breath, "The reputation of Pei Gong's selection of people spread throughout the two dynasties. Huairen was unknown and hopeless, and even became a county prince, and then a county king. From a county magistrate to taking charge of four states, isn't it all because of Pei?
Is it a gift from the Lord?”
The smile on Pei Shiju's face disappeared, Cui Xin was slapping him in the face.
"If Huairen can make great achievements again this time and return to the court with a great victory, he will definitely come to visit..."
"What if Li Huairen died in the battle in Daizhou?" Pei Shiju suddenly interrupted: "Does the Cui family of Qinghe want to go to war with the Pei family of Wenxi?"
Seeing that Cui Xin was speechless for a moment, Pei Shiju snorted, they are all members of aristocratic families, who doesn't know who they are?!
The key to everything lies in Li Shan. As long as Li Shan dies, not to mention the Cui family of Qinghe, but Cui Xin himself... nothing can be done.
At this time, a cold female voice sounded in my ears.
"If everything is fine in the south of the Yangtze River, the Duke of Yongkang County should arrive in Daizhou before June. If it is not possible to go alone, after all, in addition to Daizhou in Hedong, there are also large troops stationed in Bingzhou." Princess Pingyang said coldly: "If the Duke of Yongkang County has difficulty going north,
Mr. Pei... needs to think about his future affairs."
Pei Shiju's old face froze, "His Highness said..."
"No matter what the reason is, if the Duke of Yongkang County is blocked from going north, that's your method." Princess Pingyang said flatly: "I heard that Duke Pei's only son is now in Longzhou, and his only daughter rarely goes out?"
"My mother has four sons and one daughter, and the third brother died young. Now there are only the prince, the King of Qin and the King of Qi."
"I would also like to ask Mr. Pei to be clear. I am no more than a woman, and my husband is idle now. No matter who ascends the throne, he will also have glory and wealth..."
Speaking of this, Princess Pingyang took a deep look at Pei Shiju and said, "Even if I surrender to Beidi because of my benefactor, I will kill the important ministers in anger!"
Pei Shiju's face was pale. He did not expect Princess Pingyang to be so sharp and ruthless in tearing things apart.
Pei Shiju is not afraid of the Cui family of Qinghe, but it is impossible not to be afraid of Princess Pingyang who holds military power.
Isn't the reason why those aristocratic families who actually control the place and public opinion bow to... even if they bow to the Li Tang clan in name only because of the force in the hands of the other party?
Princess Pingyang sneered and said: "Mrs. Pei was in Chang'an back then, and she was also famous for her talent in Luoyang. Just now she asked her bodyguard to hand over a message, inviting Mrs. Pei to visit her house tomorrow."
The meaning is very simple, don't say anything else, if something happens to Li Shan, at least, at least your daughter... As for you, Pei Shiju, then prepare to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
