Generally speaking, those in power rarely slap themselves in the mouth. Even if they do, they should do so tactfully to save themselves some face.
Therefore, after Li Yuan pondered deeply, he sighed: "I still remember that a few years ago, Liu Wuzhou swept across Hedong. Dugu wanted to rebel because of his kindness, and his father was about to cross the Yellow River. Fortunately, Liu Shirang came to retaliate, and he survived."
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Princess Pingyang didn't say anything. They all knew about this very clearly. It was precisely because of the rescue effort that Liu Shirang was able to recover.
"Three years ago, Liu Shirang stood alone in Daizhou and resisted the Jieli Khan. Yuan Junzhang set a high standard and scolded those who tried to persuade him to surrender." Li Yuan said with emotion: "Such a loyal minister and good general has no doubts about his father."
"Mayi fell more than a month ago, so we just called him back to the capital for further questioning." Li Yuan's face was calm, "Although Huairen is not an old acquaintance of Liu Shirang, he is also good at knowing people. This time, he was the vanguard to break the camp and kill Yu She.
The design is a masterstroke."
Everyone understands the meaning of this. Regardless of the past, it is impossible for Liu Shirang to turn to the Turks again... Princess Pingyang finally felt relieved. As long as Li Yuan recognized this matter, Li Shan could escape.
Li Yuan looked at Princess Pingyang, "Pingyang, are you finally relieved?"
Princess Pingyang bowed and saluted, "Thank you very much, father."
"Huairen was planning national affairs and personally taking risks. The use of Liu Shirang was also forced by the current situation." Li Yuan raised his hand and said: "Don't you have such courage as a father?"
Princess Pingyang knew that she was a woman after all and could not get involved deeply in the court. As the prince and the King of Qin seized the throne, Li Shan did not dare to get involved in the whirlpool... Wen Xi, the Pei family was eyeing it, and he would surely be able to protect Li Shan if things were revealed in the future.
The good one is Li Yuan.
Therefore, Li Yuan's perception of Li Shan is very important.
There was a family of four in the hall. Li Jiancheng, who didn't know what was going on, smiled and asked, "Huairen isn't hurt, is he?"
Another person, Li Yuan, who didn't know the inside story, also asked, "Huairen mentioned in the letter that he personally took action to capture Yu Sheshe alive?"
Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment. She had never read the letter, but then she shook her head and said: "One of the messengers is a personal guard sent by my daughter before, and the other is a close confidant of Huairen. There is no mention of being injured."
Li Shimin clicked his tongue twice, "Huairen is usually refined and elegant, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous!"
"It's a bit like Erlang." Li Yuan pointed at Li Shimin, "I will reprimand him when he returns to Beijing. Although it is a matter of state, he doesn't care about himself."
Li Yuan and Li Shimin were both veteran generals who had experienced many battles. They knew very well that Xue Ye would return to attack the camp. Although they had an unexpected advantage and Li Shan used many methods, Yuan Junzhang's army outside Mayi City was approaching.
Wan... In other words, Li Shan defeated the Turks in a very short time while Wan's army was among them, and captured Yu Sheshe alive.
This method is indeed very similar to Li Shimin who often seeks death.
Li Shimin could even guess in his mind that Li Shan would definitely invest all his available manpower, and Yu Sheshe escaped from the camp... and happened to run into it. At this time, Li Shan could only take action himself.
Hearing such an argument, linking Li Shimin and Li Shan together, Li Jiancheng felt disgusted in his heart, and added with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Huairen was both civil and military... By the way, I remember that the eldest son of the second brother's general Wei Chigong was in front of Huairen.
Can’t make it past three rounds?”
Well, as Li Shan's reputation rose from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, many things in the past have been revealed.
Li Shimin sneered, his father is determined to keep Liu Shirang, but you still have the heart to talk nonsense, and you haven't thought of Li Shenfu yet!
"What the eldest brother said is true, but I also heard that the second brother of Prince Yan, the eldest son and the seven or eight personal guards suffered a bruise and swollen face at the hands of Huairen..."
In Furong Garden, the losses suffered by Luo Shou and Luo Yang at the hands of Li Shan... have become a joke.
"Okay!" Li Yuan scolded in displeasure, exposing each other's shortcomings, is that interesting?!
Princess Pingyang couldn't help but think to herself, Huairen is really noisy!
It was rare that there was good news today, and it was rare for Li Yuan to be in a good mood. He was too lazy to care about his two sons and forcefully changed the topic back, "By the way, Cui Xin is not injured, right?"
"She should be fine." Princess Pingyang paused and said with a smile: "Before attacking the camp, Huairen left Yuanpu at a distance, and then called him in after he succeeded, and Cui Xin... Huairen planned to send his personal guards to arrest him overnight.
Send it back to Yanmen Pass."
"But Cui Xin firmly refused, and later, outside the gate of the Turkic camp, dressed in official uniform, he read out the imperial edict."
Li Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My husband-in-law is very affectionate."
This sentence already had enough indications that the father-in-law had a son-in-law, and Li Jiancheng was very happy. If Li Shan married the Cui family's daughter in Qinghe, he might be able to win over her.
Li Shimin, who was opposite him, had an expressionless face. On the one hand, Li Shan had already made up his mind to join him. On the other hand, he knew very well that Cui Xin was a member of the Cui family of Qinghe who served as an official in the Chang'an Dynasty. He was the only one who was not attached to the East Palace...
...From this perspective, it is impossible for Cui Xin to be won over by the East Palace.
Just like Zheng Rentai, the general of Tiance Mansion, was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, the prince's wife's family. In the past two years, the East Palace has shown goodwill in many ways, but Zheng Rentai was loyal to Li Shimin... Historically, this man was also directly involved in the Xuanwumen incident.
After Li Yuan asked a few more questions about Li Shan's current situation in Yanmen, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Father, Huairen sent Liu Shirang to garrison in Mayi.
Yuan Junzhang lives in the same city, so Magistrate Nao may be a bit low-key."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. It was indeed true. Yuan Jun was granted the title of Duke, and was granted the title of Governor of Shuozhou. He had also been hostile to Liu Shirang for many years. The latter was only a Marquis of Yiyang County and the Magistrate of Guo County, so it would be difficult for him to resist... After all, he was against Li Tang.
Generally speaking, Liu Shirang is trustworthy, but Yuan Junzhang may not be.
Li Jiancheng asked tentatively: "I remember that my father once gave Liu Shirang Daizhou Sima..."
This is basically nonsense... It has been more than two years since the last General Manager of Daizhou, Li Daen, was killed in battle, and the General Manager of Daizhou has not yet been reestablished. The so-called Sima of Daizhou is just a false title.
Li Shimin had obviously prepared the draft and immediately answered, "In this case, it is better to re-establish the General Administrative Office of Daizhou, which has jurisdiction over Daizhou, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and Weizhou. Liu Shirang can be the general manager of Daizhou."
"To be promoted directly from the magistrate of Guo County to the general manager of Daizhou with jurisdiction over four continents is too much, too much."
"Didn't the Crown Prince just say that Liu Shirang is now the Sima of Daizhou?" Li Shimin smiled half-heartedly, "It's not too much to be promoted from Sima Zuguan to general manager."
"When it comes to meritorious service in Ma Yi, Huairen is the leader, Cui She is second, and Liu Shirang is nothing more than a pawn!" Li Jiancheng snorted, "If Liu Shirang is directly promoted to the general manager of Daizhou, how will he reward Huairen?"
"My father praised Huairen as the best in the world, but after all, he has not yet been crowned, so it is not appropriate to promote him rashly."
"Should we ask the Duke of Guantao County to bow to the Marquis of Yiyang County?"
"What's more, with such great achievements, Huairen deserves to be promoted to a noble title!"
Li Yuan's good mood completely dissipated, and he looked at the two traitors quarreling with each other with a headache.
Li Jiancheng gradually realized that something was wrong. Although it was not clear yet, he guessed that Li Shimin had taken a fancy to the position of general manager of Daizhou... You must know that Li Daoxuan is in Daizhou now.
On the surface, Li Shimin seemed to be trying to win over Liu Shirang, or was aiming for the post of governor of the prefecture, but in reality he was targeting Li Shenfu, the chief military officer of Hedong Road and the governor of Bingzhou.
After listening for a while, Princess Pingyang was confused and interrupted: "It is better to transfer Liu Shirang and send another good general to garrison Mayi."
"Determined!"
"No!"
The previous sentence came from Li Shimin. He shook his head and said: "The only way to hold on to Mayi is Liu Shimin."
The latter sentence came from Li Yuan, who nodded and said: "What Erlang said is absolutely true."
Li Yuan did not let his two sons read today's secret letter. In the letter, Li Shan unreservedly stated the reason why Liu Shirang was stationed in Mayi.
Moreover, Li Shan also suggested that before the large-scale Turkic invasion next year, it would be best to summon Yuan Junzhang to the court and gradually replace the Mayi garrison... And Liu Shirang is the most suitable executor for these.
"General Manager of Daizhou, General Manager of Daizhou..." Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said: "This matter will be postponed for further discussion."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other. The former was worried, while the latter was wondering whether to summon Ling Jing overnight... The third sister had received the letter, and Ling Jing should have received the letter as well.
