Straight to the point, looking at each other with disgust, these were not beyond Li Jing's expectations. Judging from the various behaviors of the young prince, the other party was by no means a character who would swallow his anger.
With a letter from Master Li and his nephew Li Zhaode heading north, Li Jing also knew what he would face next...it was nothing more than a transaction.
But Li Jing was extremely surprised that the other party said the words of entrusting Daizhou so quickly.
What surprised Li Jing even more was Li Shan's intermittent and extremely contagious words.
"I won't deny that you and I are disgusted with each other. This time someone asked me to come back to the court, and the Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi is indeed one of the reasons." Li Shan said calmly: "A few years ago, a nameless and hopeless country man, Demou Brother, Zhaode is not too vulgar, so I will submit to you at all costs."
"Uncle Qianyou led someone to the battle, and the guest master's uncle sent personal guards to protect him. The battle in Shandong was successful by luck. Brother Demou and Zhaode advocated in the capital, and Li Huairen became famous."
"But that's not the main reason."
Li Shan seemed to have thought about it. He paused for a moment and then looked at Cui Xin. He smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that there are rumors in Chang'an that the country has another famous general?"
Li Zhaode was the first to speak, "Brother Huairen defeated the Turks, and Khan Jieli fled north in panic. He was praised by both the court and the people."
"That's true." Cui Xin glanced at Pharmacist Li, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is delighted to hear that Duke Guan Guo was mentioned by Zhongshu Ling. Pharmacist will get Handan again in the future."
Li Shan smiled miserably, with tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and shook his head slowly, "Your Majesty is wrong."
"The Duke of Yongkang County is a famous general in the world, but he is not..."
"The lives of Yongkang County public officials, soldiers and even generals, are used as chess pieces, like Han Xin and Bai Qi, in nineteen ways..."
"But I can't do it, and I can't bear to do it."
Li Yaoshi's expression moved slightly, and he had a strange feeling in his heart. Of course he knew what the other party meant. Generals may be kind to their subordinates, or they may be kind to their soldiers, but when they go to the battlefield, they only have victory or defeat in mind, not life and death.
Throughout the ages, Wu Qi has never been more kind to his soldiers than Wu Qi, who suffered from gangrene. But when he went to the battlefield, this famous general never cared about the lives of his soldiers... Even the soldier's mother knew that my son was dead.
"Compassion cannot control armies, and compassion cannot control armies." Li Shan shook his head in pain, "It's easy to say, but it's so difficult to do..."
"Three thousand soldiers, their voices and faces are still before my eyes,"
"Who doesn't have parents, who doesn't want to live?"
"The ants still live in vain..."
I can understand this truth, but I can't do it... Li Jing made a judgment in his heart. Judging from the series of actions in pursuing the Turks, the Prince of Handan County has the potential to become a famous general, but it may never be possible to become a famous general.
At the same time, Li Jingneng could truly feel the pain in Li Shan's heart. He once heard his nephew Li Kai mention that the prince was always worried about the personal guard who followed him to Guji Town and ended up suffering heavy casualties just the day before yesterday. , and even offered sacrifices to his wounds.
After a long silence, Li Shan nodded and said: "Director Daizhou, you, Pharmacist Li, are indeed more suitable than Mr.
"You recommend Shi as the Acting Governor. I believe Your Majesty will be able to rest assured that the two positions of Shuozhou Soldier Cao and Deputy Chief of the Cavalry will be served. It would be best if you have someone in Yuan Junzhang's old department. If not, then they will be disbanded."
"Although Guo Ziheng, Niu Bin, and Du Shiyuan have rebelled again, but... I just hope that I won't kill too much. I made a promise to Mayi that day."
Li Jing nodded, "Don't worry."
In fact, one of the things that Li Jing was most worried about, or one position, was acting governor Shi, the East Palace, and the Prince of Qin's palace to seize the direct descendants. Zhang Gongjin was appointed as Biejia, and Er Zhu Yichen was appointed as Sima, which just reached a balance.
If Li Shan intervenes in this position, the East Palace and the King of Qin are likely to cease their activities... Anyway, there is no advantageous opponent, and even His Majesty may acquiesce, but Li Jing himself will feel uncomfortable and is more likely to be sidelined for a period of time.
This was unbearable for Li Jing.
Li Jing was already thinking about who to recommend as acting governor Shi?
This position is said to be the second-in-command in the Daizhou Governor's Office, but how much power you have depends on whether you, the Daizhou Governor, are willing to delegate power. You have to choose someone who is not involved in seizing the heir and has a relatively mild temper... like Liu Shirang.
Absolutely not the old man.
And it is best to choose from officials in Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Xinzhou. Li Jing is self-aware. He cannot clearly recommend anyone in his letter, but if he writes a letter, he will hand over the decision-making power... When the time comes, the East Palace, King Qin will have to
Fight for.
Soon, Li Jing decided on the candidate, Shuozhou Sima Qin Wutong... This person was appointed by Li Yuan to go to Shuozhou. He was an old man from Hedong and was familiar with the prince. However, he later followed the King of Qin to fight in the Western Qin Dynasty. Liu Wuzhou made meritorious service.
What's more important is that he has a gentle temperament... Can he partner with Liu Shirang if he has a bad personality?
After Li Jing proposed this candidate... Li Shan raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised that the other party chose Qin Wutong, but was surprised that Li Jing said it at this time.
Pooh!
What a famous general at that time, he had to climb up along the pole!
The corner of Li Shan's mouth curled up, staring at him, which made Li Jing feel slightly uneasy.
"Okay, I'll go and write to Princess Pingyang." Li Shan agreed, "Shuozhou Bingcao joins the army, and the deputy general manager of the cavalry does not need to write a letter. He can choose as he pleases."
The appointment of acting governor requires His Majesty's nod, while the latter two positions only require appointment by the acting governor, and then filing official documents with the court.
Li Jing did not expect that the other party would agree so readily and promote Qin Wutong as acting governor. Li Shan was the most suitable candidate... He only needed to reveal a few things in the letter, and his majesty should nod soon.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jing showed a rare smile and said, "Within the Daizhou Army, locally..."
"They are all handled by me." Li Shan interrupted: "Although there are no aristocratic families in Daizhou, in the past year, the local powerful families have prospered due to trade. If there is anyone who exports grain, grass, or iron tools, we can kill them."
Li Jing's smile faltered, and the other party readily agreed. He tried to make some concessions to the grassroots generals in the Daizhou Army, but was blocked.
Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Today's transaction... the other party said it frankly and without any obstacles, but what exactly did he have to pay?
It seems that I don’t have anything that the other party needs…
But if you don’t pay anything, how can you feel at ease?
Following Li Shan's talk, Li Jing became even more frightened.
Li Shanru reviewed all the officials in Daizhou Governor's Mansion, Xinzhou Governor's Mansion, Shuozhou Governor's Mansion and most of the county government officials. He unabashedly mentioned that some of them were appointed by Zhang Gongjin, and some were appointed by Zhang Gongjin.
People were installed by Xue Wanche and Lu Chengji. What kind of background do some people have, some people are too greedy, and what talents do some people have.
While Li Jing was memorizing this in his mind, he looked at Li Kai... His nephew looked helpless, and it was clear that Li Shan was not talking nonsense.
With this information, Li Jing's time to control the Four Continents will be greatly shortened. There is no need to test or inquire... and these things are difficult for him, the very resentful general manager of Daizhou, to do immediately.
Li Jing couldn't help but lament in his heart. He had been in the officialdom for decades, and he had encountered similar transactions before, but he had never seen it all done at once...
Li Jing would never think that the other party was trying to bury the hatchet, so what exactly would he have to pay?
