Although the Li-Tang clan has Xianbei blood, they are still in a high position and have experienced Hanization by Emperor Xiaowen of Wei. There are many things they can do but not say... In the end, they always have to save face.
The crown prince, King Qin's seizure of the direct line had actually been foreshadowed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, Li Yuan was canonized as the king of Tang Dynasty. As the crown prince, Li Jiancheng was ordered to lead the army to conquer Luoyang in the south. Li Shimin was actually under his command, but it was a pity that the troops did not come out in that battle.
achievement.
Since then, although Li Jiancheng occasionally made conquests, Li Shimin had no choice but to shine with unparalleled brilliance. Xue Ju, Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, and Song Jingang were wiped out one after another. In the second year of Wude, the Prince of Qin's Palace was already fighting openly and secretly with the East Palace.
Later, King Qin captured the two kings in a battle... But even so, the two of them were still good brothers, at least in front of outsiders.
But today Li Jiancheng broke his face and suggested in a sarcastic tone that Li Daoxuan take over Hedong Road... I wonder if Li Shimin dares to agree?!
You took Daxingtai of Shaanxi Road and Daxingtai of Yizhou Road. They are deeply rooted, and you want to take Hedong Road away... Do you think your father will agree?
Second brother, you are going to rebel.
Li Shimin was a little surprised by this, but he was not angry. He only said softly: "Brother, today we are discussing state affairs."
"Uncle Wang of Xiangyi has a deep grudge with the public of Yiyang County...Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I have reported Liu Shirang to be secretly collaborating with the Turks. My father, eldest brother, younger brother, and even Li Huairen in Yanmen are all suspicious."
Li Shimin said patiently and calmly: "But Huairen was forced by the situation and had no choice but to make Liu Shirang garrison in Mayi. His old troops at Yanmen Pass came to help, and the Turks were defeated in this battle... In addition, Liu Shirang killed Yu Sheshe and garrisoned in Mayi.
, it has to be this person.”
"Hedong is the wing of the pass, and it is also an old land. It cannot be lost. In the past few years, Turks have frequently invaded Hedong. If Mayi is in hand, it will be able to contain the Turks' offensive. It is indeed not suitable for Uncle Wang Shu of Xiangyi to stay in Hedong."
"But the younger brother of the King of Huaiyang is young and vigorous. Although he has experienced many battles, he is not a candidate for generals. He has been stationed in Daizhou for a long time, so he is actually Huairen."
After Li Shimin said this, except for Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji, who turned green, the others nodded secretly.
There is no doubt that Li Daoxuan must hate the East Palace deeply and must be attached to the King of Qin. However, he has been stationed in Daizhou largely because of Li Shan, a close friend... Li Shimin is not stupid. He should have known that His Majesty might invade Hedong Road if the Turks invaded in large numbers.
Let him command the troops, but he will never allow Li Daoxuan to command Hedong Road for a long time.
Li Shimin calmly looked at Li Jiancheng across from him, "What's more, Prince Huaiyang fought so hard in Shandong last year. If it weren't for Huairen, it would be hard for him to return to his hometown. How dare he lead Daizhou General Manager in front?"
The right servant of Shangshu, who had been standing silently behind him, curled his lips and said, "The prince is usually gentle, but today he goes straight in. The King of Qin is unparalleled on the battlefield, but today he has a hidden needle."
On the one hand, this sentence shows that Li Daoxuan or Li Shimin does not covet the position of the general manager of Bingzhou. On the other hand, it is a mockery... If Li Shenfu is appointed as the general manager of Bingzhou, how can Li Daoxuan dare to appoint the general manager of Daizhou as the first?
Aren't you afraid that Li Shenfu is the second Shi Wanbao?
Li Yuan was a little disappointed, disappointed with the prince's unwiseness... Even if he was reluctant to part with the Li Shenfu he had just won over, he couldn't say anything.
Now that it's better, Li Shimin's counterattack after he escaped calmly... was difficult for Li Jiancheng to handle.
"The general manager of Bingzhou cannot be appointed to anyone who is not a member of the clan." Li Shimin chuckled, "The prince of Lujiang County may be able to serve."
Li Jiancheng shook his cheeks and took a sneak peek. Li Yuan on the soft couch had a gloomy look on his face.
Obviously, Li Yuan was not satisfied with this candidate... Well, Li Jiancheng also knew that Li Shimin proposed this candidate just to disgust himself!
Nominally, there was a Xingtai system in the Li and Tang dynasties. For example, Li Shimin led Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and Daxingtai of Yizhou Road with the order of Shangshu, and Li Xiaogong led Xingtai of Xiangzhou Road with Zuopushe. However, some areas did not have a Xingtai system.
.
For example, Hedong Road, such as Hebei Road.
The Hedong Road is headed by the Bingzhou General Manager, and the Daizhou General Manager is responsible for the administrative and military affairs of the north and south of Hedong Road. A similar position in Hebei Province is the Luozhou General Manager.
Last year, Liu Heitai came back for the second time, when Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang County, was appointed as the general manager of Luozhou... but he abandoned the city and fled.
Li Shimin pretended to think for a while, "Maybe we can make Sanhu..."
"Okay!" Li Yuan interrupted the second son's nonsense, and actually brought out Qi King Li Yuanji to talk!
Well, the king of Lujiang, Li Yuan, abandoned the city and fled, losing most of Hebei Province. At that time, the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, also abandoned the city and fled, losing almost the entire east of Hedong.
Among the clan generals recruited by the East Palace, only these two are qualified to serve.
Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and kept thinking, Li Yuan and Li Yuanji would definitely not be able to do it. If something happened, they might have to abandon the city and flee.
Li Shentong and Li Daoxuan are not good either. On the one hand, they are dependent on Erlang, but on the other hand, they may not be able to control the overall situation.
However, the person who serves as the general manager of Bingzhou must be a descendant of the clan. It is a pity that Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, is still in charge of the Jianghuai war, otherwise he would be the most suitable candidate.
There was silence in the hall.
Among the several prime ministers, only Pei Ji was clearly attached to the East Palace. The others had nothing to do with their business. Pei Ji sighed in his heart, and Li Shenfu was probably going to get out.
Pei Ji knew Li Yuan too well and couldn't afford to lose Hedong a second time. What's more, the Turks had forced themselves against him several times, and Li Yuan had tolerated it several times. However, after Tuyuhun surrendered and Ma Yi was gained and lost, he had already begun to plan how to counter the Turks.
Under such circumstances, Li Yuan would not allow trouble to occur in Hedong... This is the most important base against the Turks.
Li Shimin looked relaxed and was in the mood to send a smile to Li Jiancheng opposite... He knew in his heart that his father did not have many choices.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, "Zhongshu has drafted an edict to abolish the marching general manager of Hedong Road and reestablish the Daizhou General Manager's Office."
"Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, was transferred to the general manager of Lingzhou, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, was transferred to the general manager of Bingzhou."
Everyone's eyes flickered, some looked at the prince, and some looked at the King of Qin.
Two months ago, Liang Shidu, who was separatist in Shuofang, led tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers south from Xiazhou and besieged Lingzhou. Li Daozong could not hold out and held on to the city. Later, he cooperated with Yang Shidao inside and outside and defeated the Turks, so it was renamed Rencheng.
king.
Such a record... Although he is a bit young, he is still barely qualified to serve as the governor of Bingzhou.
However, Li Daozong was under the command of King Qin Li Shimin in the Battle of Baibi and the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, and they had good relations with each other.
But at the same time, the relationship between Li Daozong and Donggong is not close, but not far away either. The most important thing is that unlike Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong has no enmity with the prince.
Moreover, Li Daozong had a cautious and steady temperament. After returning to the capital in the fourth year of Wude, he lived in seclusion. Although he was closely related to Li Shimin, he was not regarded as a direct descendant of the King of Qin like Li Shentong and Li Daoxuan.
This is a character that both parties can barely accept.
There is still silence in the palace. The marching general manager of Hedong Road has been removed. Li Daozong and Li Shenfu have been swapped. It is not over yet... Who is the general manager of Daizhou?
This position may not necessarily be held by a descendant of the clan, and it certainly is not Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang.
Li Yuan chuckled softly, stroking his beard and said: "Plan a plan to weaken the enemy and strengthen the country. In a desperate situation, move forward bravely to force Yuan Junzhang to surrender and restore Mayi..."
Pei Ji's mouth was a little crooked, "Your Majesty, Li Huairen has not yet been crowned. With such great achievements, can he be promoted to a noble title?"
Chen Shuda also nodded and said: "Huairen was promoted from Dai County Magistrate to Dai Prefecture General Manager. His promotion was too fast."
"I won't be promoted to a noble title for the time being." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Add Huairen to act as governor, and the general manager will be inactive for the time being."
In other words, it is an accommodating plan to let Li Shan lead the Daizhou General Manager's Office as Acting Governor Shi... without being promoted to a title, but only as an aide-de-camp.
Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda and others all admire Li Yuan... It is not easy for His Majesty to reconcile with Xi Ni to this extent.
Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin opposite and felt that this situation was acceptable to both of them.
But Li Shimin complained in his heart and messed around with it, but the biggest benefit was that Li Shan swallowed it up.
