"No need to say more, Wang De, don't you understand what I mean?"
Li Shimin spoke slowly.
When Wang De heard this, he was stunned for a while and then said cautiously: "Although I have been guessing a lot, there are still things I don't understand!"
Li Shimin was confused and said: "Just tell me!"
Wang De said: "Why should your Majesty give him the right to recruit troops? Moreover, if your Majesty just wants to lure him away and get him away from the center of power so that his slaves can replace him, you don't have to be so willing..."
Li Shimin immediately burst into laughter.
"Wang De, Wang De, you have done too many things in your life to pretend to be smart. You really guessed my heart wrongly. I naturally know that this kid is a disaster, but he also has a good side. If I really
What you want is just to send him to die on the battlefield, so why recruit him into the palace yourself?"
"The reason why I gave him the opportunity to recruit troops is to make him effective on the battlefield!"
Wang De was even more puzzled.
"Why?"
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Because, those who have made meritorious service are members of the military, and they are all my brothers and sisters in the military. Even if he can turn over the sky, it is completely impossible for him to turn over the palm of the Tathagata Buddha's hand! What's more, there are
Only when he has soldiers and horses can he be saved, and only when he goes to the front of the army openly can he be appointed as the vanguard."
Wang De understood immediately.
Li Shimin continued: "He has done meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, he has done meritorious service to me, and he is more loyal to me, but his suggestions and existence are really too dangerous. I would rather him make contributions than be in the center of power!"
Wang De immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, I don't know whether I am a saint or not, but if you do this wrong for me, I will not be the master of saints!"
Speaking of this, it can't help but sound a bit threatening.
Wang De was immediately startled and nodded quickly, saying yes.
And that end.
Muchuan returned to the Jinyiwei command post.
He told Li Zhi everything about what happened today.
After Li Zhi heard this, he said: "So that's how it is. No wonder the emperor wants you to enter the palace himself!"
Muchuan sighed and said: "Your Highness, it would be very dangerous for me to go there because this is a war. It would not be surprising if I really died during the war!"
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Why did you die, sir? Your husband was very resourceful and made great contributions on the battlefield to save his life. That is something that should be done. But... once your husband is gone, I really don't know what to do..."
Muchuan sighed and said: "His Royal Highness, is it possible that Your Highness will not know how to manage this Jin Yiwei? This Jin Yiwei was created by the Emperor himself. If His Royal Highness cannot control even Jin Yiwei...
…How to be the co-owner of the world?”
Li Zhi was immediately shocked and said quickly: "Sir, don't talk nonsense like this, if it will bring disaster..."
Muchuan burst into laughter and shook his head: "Your Highness, I will probably change my name to you as His Highness after I return from the expedition, just because His Majesty is very likely to make you the Crown Prince!"
Li Zhi was very shocked and said: "Father, do you really mean this?"
Li Zhidan looks like an ordinary, thin scholar, but he is actually quite ambitious, and his heart is full of desire for power.
His eyes were almost shining.
Of course Muchuan could see that no one in the Li family was a fuel-efficient lamp.
He just smiled and said: "My lord, although I am not a close minister of the emperor, I still know what the emperor means! If the emperor is not willing to make your highness the prince, why do you want your highness to be the commander?"
Li Zhi frowned and said, "But Gu's official position...isn't it exactly what Mr. recommended?"
Muchuan shook his head and said: "If the emperor has no such intention, even if I say it out loud, the emperor will never agree to it. Only if the emperor has such intention in his heart, can I propose this quota!"
Li Zhi understood immediately.
He said with a little surprise on his face: "Cocoa..."
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Muchuan said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Now His Majesty has no one to choose. Does he have any other choice besides Your Highness? I am afraid that I want to let Your Highness take control personally when I am sent to go on an expedition."
I am wearing a royal robe and guard, but I am not asking His Highness to listen to my opinions!"
Li Zhi suddenly realized: "So that's it, I understand!"
For a moment, his face was full of surprise, but then he thought that he was actually being used by his father, which made him quite happy.
"Thank you sir for your advice. If it weren't for your advice... I would still be thinking about it in my mind right now!"
Muchuan stood up, waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, it's just that I could have noticed it even if I didn't say anything. It's just that Your Highness was not able to detect His Majesty's thoughts in time. This is nothing more than a matter. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. I can't understand it."
It’s just a matter of taking stock.”
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "If it hadn't been for my husband to point it out, I really wouldn't have known that my father had this intention!"
Muchuan took a sip of tea and continued: "I am afraid that your Majesty will decide what the Crown Prince will do, but now, His Majesty's strength is really too weak, and there are not many people who can accept the authority given by His Majesty... So I advise Your Majesty.
I will definitely expand my strength after I leave! Jinyiwei has the responsibility and authority to protect the scripture masters. With this authority and responsibility, His Highness can recruit more people who can be used for himself!"
Li Zhi quickly said: "Where should I look for it?"
When he said this, he directly used the most common humility.
Muchuan said with a smile: "The world must not look for those literati to hold the position anymore. Those literati and the budding heirs of aristocratic families are naturally very good elites, but in the end they are arrogant and are descendants of powerful families.
, they are in opposition to the imperial power after all, if His Highness gives them too much power and gathers too many noble disciples, they will eventually be controlled by him!"
Li Zhi understood immediately: "So that's it!"
Muchuan continued: "So I don't need to say more about the person His Highness wants to use, right?"
Li Zhi's face was serious, he immediately stood up and bowed his hands!
"Thank you sir for your teachings. What you taught me is true. I have ears and eyesight. I have my ears and my eyesight. Fortunately for me in my life, what my husband said today is even better medicine!"
Seeing him like this, Muchuan quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Don't do this. I can't think of more than a few words."
But Li Zhi insisted: "No, sir, you have helped me a lot. If I can really ascend to the throne, I will definitely treat him with a high position!"
