Just when Li Shan and Li Shimin were getting along with each other, in the Ganlu Hall, which was not far from Chengqian Hall, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Huairen seems to be impartial in his dealings, but he is also slightly biased."
Princess Pingyang, who was sitting on the bench, was confused when she heard this. She blinked and asked tentatively: "Father, are you saying that Huairen went to the Qian Palace banquet so late?"
Li Yuan knew that his daughter was good at everything else, but she was not good at this aspect. He just smiled and nodded without explaining anything.
Huairen had always been upright. After returning to Beijing for several months and assuming the new position of Minister of Agriculture, he was successively invited to visit Dalang, Silang, and finally Erlang. This was obviously deliberate.
Li Yuan guessed that on the one hand it was because of Duan Zhixuan, and on the other hand it was because of Ling Jing.
Duan Zhixuan has become a laughing stock in Chang'an City because of his expulsion by Li Shan. Many generals in the Tiance Mansion have spoken rudely to Li Shan in public. Li Yuan heard from his old friend Duan Yanshi that his son, who was originally a scoundrel, is now taciturn.
Great change of heart.
And Ling Jing had a close relationship with Li Shan, and he was Li Shimin's confidant... Li Shan deliberately delayed and went to the Wude Hall before going to the Qian Hall for a banquet, obviously to avoid suspicion.
This is what Li Yuan said is "slightly biased", but this is also common. After all, the prince is the prince, one person is inferior to ten thousand people... To a certain extent, the father and son Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are on the same side.
.
"Pingyang, speaking of being a father, I feel a little regretful now." Li Yuan sighed: "It's too fast to jump from the Duke of Guantao County to the Prince of Handan County!"
Princess Pingyang said nothing, but gave a strange look...Father, you are the emperor, how can you be so shameless?!
Others didn't know it, but Princess Pingyang knew the inside story. At the beginning of the year, Li Shan returned to Beijing and brought the news that Tuli Khan wanted to sworn sworn sworn brother to the King of Qin... In the end, Li Yuan shamelessly threw the pot on Li Shan's head.
"Ahem, cough." Li Yuan laughed dryly, "As a father, it's not that I can't let go of a county prince, but Huairen is too young. If there is another great victory in Guji Town next time, how can we reward him like Cangtou River?"
Princess Pingyang said nonchalantly: "Father rewards me with more land... No, Huairen still loves money more than fertile land."
"Father, why don't you reward Huairen and make your own money?"
In the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan changed the mintage of coins. Only Pei Ji, the civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty, was given the right to mint coins by himself.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Huairen is not willing to ask for fertile land, let alone minting money to accumulate wealth."
Princess Pingyang thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Regarding the refusal of the land reward at the palace banquet that day, Li Shan later explained it in detail... Some concepts are unclear, but the key point can be made clear. The land is the guarantee of Guanzhong.
The key to the combat effectiveness of the government troops.
"It's a pity that Huairen canonized the county king." Li Yuan clicked his tongue twice, "Otherwise, he could have entered the three provinces."
"That's because Huairen is too young." Princess Pingyang frowned and said, "Can't the prince of the county enter the three provinces?"
"Yang Shuang, the half-brother of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, conquered the Turks three times and made outstanding achievements. He served as a servant and became the prime minister."
"Mingda." Li Yuan looked a little dazed. Mingda is the diminutive of Wei Wang Yang Shuang.
Yang Shuang is three years older than Li Yuan. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his sister-in-law Dugu Jialuo, who is Li Yuan's aunt.
Because of this relationship, Li Yuan and Yang Shuang had known each other since they were young and had a close friendship.
After coming back to his senses, Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Pingyang should be careful what he says, this metaphor is unknown."
Princess Pingyang then remembered that Wei Wang Yang Shuang died of illness just two months after he became prime minister. He was only twenty-five years old... It was indeed inappropriate. Li Shan would not be crowned until next year.
At the beginning of the year when Yanmen was victorious, there were rumors that Li Huairen was like a champion, and comparing it to Yang Shuang... this was because he was afraid of death.
Princess Pingyang thought for a while and continued: "Yang Yichen of the former Sui Dynasty also served as Prime Minister."
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing. It was really hard to find Yang Yichen to compare his daughter with... This one was indeed more suitable. He also defeated Tujue at a young age and defeated Tuyuhun. He once served as Zongzhengqing. During Yang Jian's reign, he once served as the minister of the province.
, ranked as Prime Minister.
When Princess Pingyang talked about this person, the most important thing was that Yang Yichen's real surname was Weichi, and Yang Jianjian respected him so much that he was given the surname Yang and was included in the clan, treating him as a grandson.
Yang Yichen can do it, and Li Shan should naturally do it too... none of them are of royal blood.
However, Li Yuan didn't say it, but he didn't agree with it in his heart... From the Northern Qi Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and then to the Sui Dynasty, most of the clan members served as prime ministers and assistants, holding great power, so that the monarchy often fell away and even changed dynasties.
When Yu Wentai died of illness, his eldest son was still young, so he entrusted his nephew Yu Wen Hu. As a result, Yu Wen Hu poisoned the three emperors one after another.
"Let's talk about it later." Li Yuan paused and said with a smile: "Now that Huairen has been appointed as Sinong Qing, there should be no more trouble."
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, "This matter is not urgent, and Huairen is not impatient either."
As she said this, Princess Pingyang felt that there might be something wrong with the sentence "I won't bother you anymore"... Shankou kept saying that he was forced every time, and everyone agreed afterwards.
But the problem is, from Shandong to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Daizhou and Shuozhou, you were forced every time?
Even if you are forced every time, it is still your problem.
Li Yuan leaned on the soft couch and asked with a smile: "Huairen is really not in a hurry?"
"It's true." Princess Pingyang said calmly: "Huairen said it himself that he won't be crowned until next year. Although my father is over fifty, he is still strong and can still drive a horse, ride and shoot."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed.
The reasons why Li Yuan had a good impression of Li Shan were complicated, ranging from his conduct to his political stance, and he was unwilling to get involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne... That was because His Majesty was in the prime of his life.
How is this not flattering?
Princess Pingyang thought to herself that she should be careful with Huairen's words in the future, as she kept saying that she was not good at flattering...
The father and daughter chatted for a long time. Princess Pingyang stood up to say goodbye. Li Yuan waved and thought for a moment before saying, "That's Su Dingfang."
Princess Pingyang was a little surprised, "Father, there is no need to consider it again at this time. After all, Su Dingfang is not very qualified."
"That's him." Li Yuan asked with a smile: "Huairen doesn't know yet, does he?"
"Of course I don't know. Now apart from my father, only Sichang knows."
Li Yuan nodded and watched his daughter leave the Manlu Hall.
Li Shan thought a lot about Su Dingfang's sudden rise to the rank of nobility but still couldn't figure it out. But one thing he thought of was that whether it was in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of Princess Pingyang herself, or even in Li Yuan's mind, he
The position with Su Dingfang is actually the same as that of Princess Pingyang.
At this moment, in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Li Shan was still talking, analyzing the situation for King Qin Li Shimin... Now the momentum of King Qin's lineage was overwhelmed by the East Palace. Just a few days ago, the chief secretary of King Qin's palace, one of the eighteen bachelors,
Gaiwenda was dismissed from office and expelled from Beijing.
