After Li Tang established the dynasty, due to the existence of Li Shimin, the imperial decrees did not come from one branch. The emperor, the East Palace, and the Tiance Mansion all had the power to issue orders. During the Shandong War last year, Prime Minister Chen Shuda strongly advised the saints to take over power.
After Li Jiancheng secretly discussed with many of his staff, he took the initiative to hand over power... To put it lightly, this was to please Li Yuan, but to put it more seriously, it was to alienate Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son.
If Li Shimin does not hand over power, he will be treated coldly by Li Yuan. Even the Prince of the East Palace is willing to do so, but you are not willing to do so?!
If power is handed over, the influence of the Cefu lineage in the DPRK will naturally be gradually weakened... Li Shimin's foundation lies in the DPRK on the one hand, and on the local level on the other.
If power is handed over, should the power allocated by officials of Shaanxi Province and Yizhou Province be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
What’s more, will Shaanxi Province be split up and the service stations cancelled?
Li Jiancheng is just the opposite. His foundation is not the Prince of the East Palace himself, but the support of Li Yuan... As long as Li Yuan does not have the desire to be a prince, the political stance of the father and son will be unified.
The old man sitting second on the left smiled and said: "Xuan Cheng's advice is wise, and His Highness is benevolent and virtuous. It is the image of a monarch and his ministers helping each other."
"The Duke has given me a reward."
This is Zheng Shanguo of the Zheng family in Xingyang. In the previous dynasty, he was given the title of Duke of Wude. He was famous for his integrity. During the Daye period, he ranked first in the world and had a very high reputation. In the fourth year of Wude, he joined the Tang Dynasty with Huai'an King Li Shentong and was given the title of Duke of Xingyang.
Zuo Shuzi, the crown prince of the East Palace, is an important figure in the East Palace.
Many members of the Cui family of Qinghe were serving in the East Palace, and it was Zheng Shanguo who introduced them. His mother was from the Cui family of Qinghe. Wei Zheng and Cui Bo visited Shandong last year, but there were many disagreements. In April this year, Li Yuan ordered officials to be appointed to Shandong. Li Jiancheng
Recommend Zheng Shanguo as Shandong's pacifying ambassador to recruit talented people for the East Palace.
Until a few days ago, Zheng Shanguo was recalled to the court and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was still serving as the crown prince Zuo Shuzi... This person was very senior. His direct cousin married Dugu Xin and gave birth to a daughter who was the wife of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Queen Wende.
, the latter has a half-sister who gave birth to Li Yuan.
Zheng Shanguo stroked his beard and said: "In the future, His Highness will inherit the imperial business and let Xuancheng compile history."
Li Jiancheng laughed and said: "We must take the Julu Wei family as the leader, and the Qinghe Fang family as the assistant."
Wei Zheng rarely showed a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is very magnanimous."
The "Book of Wei" of the Twenty-Four Histories was edited by Wei Shou of the Julu Wei family, who was Wei Zheng's uncle. Among the people who assisted Wei Shou, the most famous was Fang Yanyou of the Qinghe Fang family, Li Shimin's confidant.
The great uncle of the staff member Fang Xuanling.
What Li Jiancheng said was unclear, but the people present were all well-educated people, so they naturally understood it immediately.
What happened in the past was an example, and it will be imitated in the future, but the premise is that Li Jiancheng can inherit the treasure and ascend the throne as emperor.
Well, although Li Jiancheng died tragically in history, "Book of Sui" was indeed edited by Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling was indeed among his assistants.
However, Luo Yi, who was sitting in the fourth place on the right, was a little confused, but even though he was confused, he still said: "Although King Fangling made mistakes, his downfall was also due to Emperor Yang's conspiracy, and Yang Suzhi helped Jie.
"
After a moment of silence in the hall, everyone understood this sentence. Emperor Sui Yang was referring to the current Li Shimin.
Zheng Shanguo chuckled and asked, "Who is the Duke of Chu?"
The Duke of Chu is Yang Su. When Yang Guang seized the crown prince of the East Palace, Yang Su made great efforts.
"The world has been settled for the first time, the foundation of the country is uncertain, and the poetic talents are no more than ordinary ones. When recruiting heroes, Your Highness should put the capable ones first." Although Luo Yi spoke slowly, he had obviously already prepared the draft, "Last year Liu Heitai came back to power.
Sweeping through most of Hebei Province, Wei County was finally defeated, captured in Yongji, and beheaded at the Guantao County Government."
"Your Highness has received an urgent message. He led his troops south to regain the lost territory and joined up with the armies. He saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears that all the armies, including the King of Huaiyang, Qi Shanxing, the governor of Xingzhou, and Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Luozhou, were all convinced by him.
Be submissive."
Hearing this, Zheng Shanguo laughed twice but did not interrupt. The prince Zhongyun Wang Gui and the prince's family member Xu Shimo stared at Luo Yi thoughtfully. The prince's family member Lu Chengji, who was sitting at the bottom, looked unhappy.
He turned his head and glanced at Wei Zheng, whose face was as dark as water.
"Later, Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou, went north, and I met him in Jizhou... The Duke of Daoguo said personally that without Li Huairen's plan, he could only stick to Guantao and let the Liu thieves wreak havoc..."
"The former Duke committed suicide in Guantao County... committed suicide..." Luo Yi sneered: "I heard that the King of Huaiyang happened to be released by the Turks that day."
Li Jiancheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was still under control. He just listened and looked thoughtful.
Everyone could hear that Luo Yi once again pointed the finger at Li Shan, and from a particularly tricky angle.
First of all, if it were not for Li Shan, Tian Liuan would probably have to hold on, and the prince would go on his own, calmly rescue the siege, and defeat Liu Heitai on the premise that the Turks would definitely leave, thus gaining military merit.
Secondly, during the Shandong War, those who gained something, except for Luo Yi who led the Youzhou Army and finally came out to clean up the rear, the rest were all generals of the King of Qin's lineage, and even the troops of the King of Qin's Palace, Tian Liu'an and Qi Shanxing were all
He was from the Liuhu Military Mansion of the Qin Prince's Mansion.
In other words, Li Shan cooperated very happily with the generals of the King of Qin's lineage. The latter made great achievements, and the former also became famous in the army.
What Li Shan did greatly weakened the reputation of Prince Li Jiancheng, and even slapped Li Jiancheng on the face.
In this case, wouldn't Li Shan join the army of King Qin?
"I heard that His Highness asked the Saint to name Yu Huchun?" Luo Yi thought for a moment and added: "In regard to Princess Pingyang... the Saint regards her as his nephew, and has never heard of her thanking Your Highness."
Although Luo Yi's words are a bit confusing, the meaning is very clear. Li Shan is a man with extraordinary talents, not just poetry and prose. If he has a choice, he will abandon the East Palace and join the King of Qin.
For such a person, Prince, your tenderness has no effect. Are you just going to watch him throw himself into Prince Qin's palace?
Since he can't be won over, he can't be watched as he falls into the enemy's hands!
In the final analysis, Luo Yi's words refer to the Qin King Li Shimin as the former Sui Dynasty Yang Guang, and Li Shan as the former Sui Dynasty Duke Yang Su.
From a certain perspective, this metaphor makes sense.
As the king of Jin at that time, Yang Guang's military achievements were far inferior to those of Qin King Li Shimin, but he still nominally led the army to destroy Chen, ending the three hundred years of division of the world since the Later Han Dynasty.
Although Li Shan is young, he is as profound as a saint like Yang Su, and he can also influence the special status of women in the royal family.
Yang Su had considerable influence on Queen Wende back then, and now she is Princess Pingyang who holds military power.
Luo Yi was about to add a few words, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone standing up suddenly.
"Today, the sages are talking about history, and they are advising Your Highness to put benevolence first and recruit all the talented people." Wei Zheng's beard and hair were spread out, and his voice was like a bell, "The Prince of Yan County ruined the prince's virtue because of his personal grudges. What does he want to do?!"
