When Li Tai finally entered work, Li Shiji returned to Chang'an with the army that attacked Xue Yantuo.
This time, Li Shimin naturally received Li Shiji very grandly, although defeating Xue Yantuo was not a big deal.
But Li Shiji used his achievements to show that he could firmly hold the position of Minister of War.
Li Shimin even had a big banquet to treat the three armies!
However, when Hou Junji saw this scene, he snorted coldly, and the resentment in his heart rose a little further.
At least in Hou Junji's opinion, Li Shiji only defeated Xue Yantuo, which was not as good as his original contribution.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin was so proud of Li Shiji, but it was his turn to imprison himself!
Hou Junji was drinking alone at home, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
I was born and died with Li Shimin, especially during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but now I am just plundering Gaochang City, which is not a big deal. Anyone who led the army did not plunder the troops and actually put him in prison.
He even deprived himself of his military power and wrote off his contributions.
In this regard, Hou Junji actually has a good impression of Li Tai.
After all, this is too weak. If you throw it into the mine for exercise, you will naturally know who can't afford to offend him.
Li Tai always felt that such a calm atmosphere was a little wrong, at least his brother should not welcome him like this.
Jinwuwei sent Zhang Xuansu to Sun Simiao, which saved Zhang Xuansu's life, but it was almost dead.
Therefore, Hou Junji was really dissatisfied with Wang Xuance, and he was inferior to Wang Xuance in the future. When he thought of this, he became even more angry.
Now that Li Shiji has been proud of this villain, will he still be inferior to Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui in the future?"
Showing your own muscles will make these corvee workers afraid.
What is the prince doing? This is Zhang Xuansu, his loyal minister, the number one loyal minister under him!
No matter how they recall it, they feel that these corvee labor is too good to fight.
Otherwise, the Prince's Mansion would also give money and sell it to the Prince's Mansion at the same price, and then the slaves of the Prince's Mansion would have to be defeated in a gorgeous way.
Li Tai was too quiet when he saw that he had recently built the Wanxiang Temple, and he couldn't help but wonder.
But soon, the first group of people came to report to Li Chengqian, "Reporting to the prince, the imperial merchant said that they were helpless!"
But in fact, these people who do imperial merchants are also mentally clear-headed.
Touch the railway while it is hot: "But the prince is different. The prince lacks military power, so he will definitely regard his father-in-law as his only reliance in the future. In the future, his father-in-law's position in the court will be higher than now!"
The third thing is to let the people who were placed in the work department disobey Li Tai's orders and prevent Li Tai's project from continuing.
After a few rounds, he was beaten down by the bad guy who rushed to the mine, saying that he was provoking trouble. He worked for seven days and returned only after paying it back.
At a meeting, Li Tai said to Wang Zhenru and Taoism, "Zhen Confucianism? Have you encountered any problems in your project? Have you ever had any tricks on the prince?"
Wang Xuance, who exceeded 5,000 and made 300,000, achieved the myth on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Compared with the two, Hou Junji is just a background board.
However, Li Tai now needs to attend regular court meetings every month, and also report on the progress of the Wanxiang Temple and some miscellaneous things in the Ministry of Works. He also met with Li Shiji.
Helan Chushi knew clearly what his father-in-law’s heart was. One was to attach importance to fame, and the other was Wang Xuance!
What a skill? If King Wei provides him with this batch of armor, can't he win over Lu Dongzan?
However, this storm did not break out on himself, but on Zhang Xuansu.
Now the emperor is just seeing the newcomer laughing, and how can he hear this old man crying?
At this moment, Hou Junji looked at his son-in-law Helan Chushi, whom he despised, came to him.
If Wang Xuance had relied on his own exquisite tactics to command, the peerless secret techniques he had passed down from ancient times, and even took risks to attack the other party's grain road and killed Songtsen Gampo, then Hou Junji would not have been so depressed, after all, the other party was real
ability.
The majesty of the Duke did not dare to look at people like Helan Chushi.
Of course, the second group of Turkic people who returned were also back with a bruised and dusty face.
"But the King of Wei has Wang Xuance as his minion outside, and Xue Rengui is his confidant in the court. If his father-in-law does not choose the crown prince...
Helan Chushi looked at Hou Junji and stopped drinking so much, knowing that his words had already moved Hou Junji.
"Crown Prince...hehe!" After hearing this, Hou Junji sneered, "The King of Wei has become the Minister of Works, and he looks anxious! No see!"
Seeing Hou Junji's rejection, Helan Chushi hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, now the saint is neglecting you, the court suppresses you, and the King of Wei may not pay attention to you. Only the prince can re-activate you and restore your former glory!"
"Qingque, do you think it's great to have money?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard this.
To be honest, Hou Junji really doesn't think much of Li Chengqian, the eldest son who was loved so much by his father, but was overwhelmed by the King of Wei, who was still young.
In contrast, when Li Chengqian fought with him, both sides were somewhat incenseful, but did he give him gifts during festivals?
Even after being suppressed, he became even more indifferent to himself. If it weren't for the King of Wei's entry into the capital this time, the prince might not have thought of himself as a general who was suppressed by the court!
hehe!
All the gifts given by others were rejected, and the gifts were transferred lightly and the gifts were accepted carefully.
But it is easy to say about a corvee service, but for a team of corvee service, somehow a hammer appeared from their sleeves, and the legs of the trouser were tied up to pull out an iron ruler. Someone even went straight from the road
While picking up a few bricks, he started to conflict with himself and others.
Hou Junji said, "If you don't go to the Eastern Palace to serve as a servant, what are you doing here!"
As for the Wanxiang Divine Palace, it completely uses the King of Wei’s own system, and these people can’t get involved!
Because Li Tai didn't need them at all, the Ministry of Works did the same thing as before, and Li Tai did not change anything.
However, as Li Tai started to start work, Li Chengqian also began to target Li Tai.
As for the Turks who were pulled into the coal yard, Wei Xu felt that these guys could not even beat ordinary corvee, and it was definitely not the prince who sent them to disturb trouble.
"Did I see my brother wrong..." Li Tai touched his chin, but he didn't expect that after the years of precipitation, Li Chengqian had become so cunning, so he should not underestimate it!
In this case, the best way is to take these things and hold them in your own hands, which is to be guilty of possessing a treasure. However, if the King of Wei pays to buy the entire forest farm or mine, it is not his own problem.
, but the King of Wei gave too much money.
The first thing is to threaten those royal merchants who have precious materials in their hands and specialize in royal business, so that they are not allowed to do Li Tai's business.
In the first confrontation with Tubo, Hou Junji led the elites of the Tang Dynasty to fight with Lu Dongzan, but was held back by Lu Dongzan.
In short, Li Shiji lived the second place, and he didn't leave anyone any handle.
Compared with Hou Junji, who was almost promoted by Li Shimin, Li Shiji really didn't have the ability to show off.
After all, although King Li Tai of Wei has never been close to him, he has never humiliated himself because of his loneliness.
To be honest, no one expected that Zhang Xuansu would go to the morning court in the morning and walked on the road, but the prince's servant rushed out and attacked Zhang Xuansu. The scene was really incredible.
So neither of these two people reported anything. As for Wang Zhenru himself, he used it according to his own corvee system and was completely different from the Ministry of Works, so he didn't feel anything.
But the problem is that Wang Xuance relied on the incredibly thick armor provided by the King of Wei, and then used the simplest joint tactics of infantry and cavalry to wear Songzan's cloth.
In this case, they could only watch the Wanxiang Temple rise up from the ground!
Peacock buys the forest farms and mines in the hands of the imperial merchants, and naturally they will not report certain details upwards. For example, the forest farms and mines in their hands have become hot potatoes. They will not sell them at this time. When the prince comes to you, it will be true.
Can't sell it anymore.
"I haven't been the so-called minister at the top!" Hou Junji looked at Helan and Chu Shi and sneered.
"But you are a little right, what qualifications do those who deceive the world and steal the reputation have to climb onto my head!"
Therefore, except for the banquet held by Li Shimin, all other banquets Li Shiji were rejected.
They were not wrong to defeat the orders of King Wei, and there was no problem with cutting corners, but the problem was that King Wei did not order them at all.
After all, in everyone's eyes, how could Hou Junji betray Li Shimin!
However, Li Shiji is much lower-key than Hou Junji, after all, his background is a little better than Li Jing.
As Li Tai went on the project, he had nothing to do with Li Shiji except to give Li Shiji some small gifts and receive a small gift.
Now that the prince is fighting with the King of Wei, if he listens to the prince, he will make the King of Wei unhappy. If he listens to the King of Wei, the prince will probably remember it in his heart.
If the Jinwu Guard, who was responsible for patrol and alert, came quickly, Zhang Xuansu might have really disappeared.
The second thing is to let those Turks go to harass Li Tai's corvee from time to time and delay their project progress.
"This is not!" the servants said, "The emperor merchants said that the woman named Peacock under the King of Wei paid for the money to buy all the mines and forest farms they participated in the project. They really can't help me.
Busy!"
Of course, at this time, everyone's eyes were all gathered on Li Shiji. As for Hou Junji's psychological changes, who would pay attention to it?
"You divide the corvee labor into three shifts, and three shifts are working hard. I feel a little uneasy when things are so calm. I'd better build it as soon as possible!"
They are responsible for harassing corvee labor. They originally thought it was just some labor labor, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Report to my father-in-law..." Helan Chushi looked at Hou Junji in front of him, and felt a little afraid, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "If you have time to see him in the East Palace, the prince will definitely sweep the bed to greet him.
!”
Li Shiji's every move was full of caution, and even basically kept a distance of at least ten meters from himself.
Even Fang Xuanling didn't take any time to simulate Hou Junji's mentality.
Who can blame him? It’s his own fault!
Although Hou Junji was neglected by the court, he was also very resentful, but his identity was still Duke Chen.
When Helan Chushi heard Hou Junji's words, he felt relieved. No matter what, he was trying to persuade Hou Junji.
"A mere businessman dares to disobey my orders!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this order!
"King Wei... I respect me!" Hou Junji was slightly stunned when he heard Helan Chu Shi's words, and said in silence for a while,
"In recent years, my family was neglected, and some people who were tempted by the flames and possessed the power have left a lot, but the King of Wei always remembered the love that they fought against Xue Yantuo together. The Qinghai horses I gave me every year are all good horses!"
To be honest, Hou Junji didn't feel anything when he was developed before, but now he is in a downturn. The horses that Li Tai still remains unchanged every year make Hou Junji a little worried.
Soon, news came. Zhang Xuansu, who had finally recovered from injury, was attacked again. Hey, why did you say again?
When Zhang Xuansu was in the morning court, he was surrounded by slaves from the Prince's Mansion and was hit hard by a big horse hammer.
"As for the order!" Wang Zhenru quickly agreed when he heard Li Tai's words.
As for the third batch, those who were placed in the work department early, unless they forcibly broke into the construction site, they would not be able to get along with Li Tai at all.
"No? The whole project is carried out step by step!" Wang Zhenru said when he heard Li Tai's words.
"The Peacock Lady is responsible for the supply of raw materials, I am responsible for the work arrangements of corvee workers, and Wei Xu is responsible for the safety inspection around the project. The construction period is going smoothly!"
In anger, Li Shimin directly searched the prince's study and found Zhang Xuansu's letter to the prince:
"Emperor Wu of Zhou pacified Shandong, and Emperor Wen of Sui was in the south of the Yangtze River, and was diligent and frugal, and loved the people. They were all the commanders. If a son was not worthy, he would eventually die. The emperor said that His Highness was close to his father and son, and his affairs were both family and country, and his use of things was not limited.
The order has not exceeded 60 years, and the use of 70,000 items has exceeded 70,000. Who said that this is beyond this? Moreover, the righteous ministers of the palace have never been there; the evil and lustful people are close to the deep palace. When you look outside, you have already lost this; you are in a secret place in the center.
, it is better to have a better plan! He is good at medicine and good at diseases, and he is good at speaking and doing things. He is only careful when he is at peace, and he is careful every day."
Li Shimin remembered that last month he seemed to have ordered the Crown Prince not to restrict the use of the treasury. There was also some reason why Li Tai never looked at the amount of money he used, and Li Chengqian, as the Crown Prince, could not lose this courage.
Then, because the troubles are all about spending money, the transaction of materials requires money, the personnel need to provide money for pensions, and the traitors act, they should give some rewards. Even if the matter is not done, the people who do the work will have to be stuck!
Li Chengqian's finances have deteriorated seriously, and now he sees this opportunity without any scruples.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuansu immediately wrote a letter to persuade him that this was what the saint showed you, not what he used for you!
Then he is still lying in the hospital, it's only been a few days!
