The room became quiet. Now the King of Qin's lineage does not have the upper hand in the three provinces. There are Pei Ji and Pei Shiju in the East Palace, and the King of Qin's Palace has Li Shimin, the minister, Feng Lun, the secretary of the Central Committee, and Yu Wen.
Scholars and this minister of Zhongshu.
But in fact, Zuo Pushe and Pei Ji are in charge of Shangshu Province, and Yu Wenshiji, the minister of Zhongshu, has no real power. The most powerful person in the Qin Palace in the three provinces is Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun... If it weren't for the part-time job of Sima of Youtian Cefu, Li Yuan might not have
Feng Lun will be appointed as Zhongshu Ling.
Therefore, although Feng Lun was not Li Shimin's most trusted and closest confidant, he had a high status in the King of Qin's lineage and even in the Tiance Mansion. Li Shan's words made several people present frown.
Li Shan thought to himself, I don't know what trouble Feng Lun will have in the future... But with these words in front, whether it is to prove that his intuition is accurate, or to facilitate his intervention when he has no choice, after all, he has made a difference.
Ambush.
Du Ruhui glanced at Li Shimin and said softly: "In those days, the Duke of Dao rushed back to the capital and supported the saint, so that he could succeed in the battle."
Li Shimin nodded slightly. In the third year of Wude, he led his army to attack Luoyang. The battle was at a stalemate, and the Turks were about to make a move. Li Yuan intended to retreat, so Feng Lun returned to Beijing and persuaded Li Yuan. Finally, the war continued and he achieved the great feat of capturing two kings in one battle.
"Huairen should not make rash judgments." Ling Jing frowned. He did not expect that Li Shan would actually say this today...in front of the King of Qin, he would make trivial remarks about being the Secretary of the Imperial Court and the Sima of Tiance Mansion.
And he still uses such unfounded words as "dirty".
Li Shan sighed: "Your Highness, please forgive me, but I am not saying this because I have been away for a long time."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Highness is hosting a banquet today for Duke Julu. Huairen will have to drink a few more drinks for him."
"Huairen was traveling outside the Great Wall with a jade pot of spring in Daizhou. I wonder how much alcohol he can drink?" Li Shimin raised his glass and said, "I'll give it a try today."
"Please show mercy, Your Highness." Li Shan raised his glass and said with a wry smile, "I will definitely go to the Manna Palace later."
Li Shimin was a little surprised, but then smiled and nodded, "It should be so."
Yesterday I went to the East Palace, and today I came to the Chengqian Hall. Naturally, I have to pay homage to His Majesty... This gesture is always necessary.
Since he was talking about Su Dingfang, Li Shan didn't talk nonsense. After finishing his drink, he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Su Dingfang knows everything about internal and external affairs. Your Highness has orders and he will obey them."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Knowing everything inside and outside."
"That's right." Ling Jing added: "The decision was made as early as Shandong."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, both a little surprised. They were not surprised that Su Dingfang knew that Li Shan had joined the King of Qin, nor were they surprised that Su Dingfang knew about Li Shan's life experience. After all, Su Dingfang was almost Li Shan's shadow.
But they were surprised by Ling Jing's words, "The decision was made as early as in Shandong." Did Li Shan decide to join the King of Qin so early?
Several staff members didn't know, but Li Shimin knew it well. Long before he went to Shandong, Li Shan designed Li Dewu to invest in the East Palace. From that time on, Li Shan had only one way to go.
"Su Dingfang was granted the title of Duke of Julu County. He is a minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is a minister of His Highness, not a retainer of Li Huairen." Li Shan said sternly: "No matter what decision His Highness makes in the future, Su Dingfang will definitely obey orders."
"If it is inconvenient for His Highness to come forward in person, Ling Gong, Fang Gong, Du Gong, and Changsun Gong can all summon you on your behalf."
Changsun Wuji's face was reddish and his eyes were shining. If Su Dingfang, who was in charge of controlling the Beiya Imperial Army, was there, he would be much more confident in the event of a palace coup.
Li Shimin looked at the young man in front of him, who was not much younger than him, with emotion. In his plan, Li Shan could be of great use, but he had no place in the battle to seize the rightful son. But now... at least Su Dingfang
Likely to become a key figure.
"Your Highness, maybe you can transfer the old troops to strengthen the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards?" Changsun Wuji impatiently suggested, "It doesn't necessarily have to be from Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province, Yangzhou Dudufu, Yizhou Road, and Hebei Road. There are also old troops.
.”
Fang Xuanling carefully looked at Li Shimin's face and said softly: "Maybe we can postpone it for a while?"
However, Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Shan, who showed no emotion at all. He nodded and said, "No hurry, no rush."
Li Shimin believed that Li Shan must have heard the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words, and could also imagine the implications of these words... Once the Beiya Imperial Army was enriched with old troops, it would be a precursor to taking action, but at the same time, Pei Shiju could not help but
Staring at Li Shan, or rather staring at Su Dingfang.
If Li Shimin were to make the deployment of a lieutenant general, there wouldn't be much resistance, but Pei Shiju would probably find clues between Li Shan and himself... Once there was some evidence, the prince would become suspicious, not to mention his father's suspicion of Li Shan.
What kind of change will happen to the good attitude? Su Dingfang's position may not be guaranteed.
In fact, even without Su Dingfang, Li Shimin still had this confidence. After all, he had too many old troops in the army. The prince had a Changlin army of thousands of people in Forbidden Garden, and there was also the left prison guard general Li Gaoqian, who
It is impossible to reach too deep into the Beiya Imperial Army.
In addition to the direct descendants of the East Palace, there are very few people who are qualified to serve as generals in the Beiya Imperial Army who are not Li Shimin's old subordinates.
Li Shimin calculated for a long time and said softly: "Su Dingfang has just assumed the new position, and he can adjust his old department."
"Understood." Li Shan nodded. Su Dingfang took over his new job and transferred the old department to help. This is natural. Neither Li Yuan nor Dong Gong could find fault.
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, "Huairen's personal guard leader Wang Junhao..."
"Ahem." Ling Jing glanced over, "Jun Hao has been granted the title of county boy, but he doesn't want to serve as an official in the army."
Li Shan smiled and said, "Many of those brought back to Beijing this time are from the Shuozhou Military Headquarters. Brother Dingfang also has an old unit in the Daizhou Army, from which we can choose... I believe Dai Guogong will not stop him."
That's natural. Not to mention that Su Dingfang will soon be Li Jing's niece and son-in-law, not to mention that Su Dingfang is trying to control the Beiya imperial army. It's just Li Shan. There are many people who are willing to send a letter.
"Zhang Wu'an, Xue Wanjun..." Changsun Wuji was making evil plans again.
Li Shan was a little annoyed with this guy and said in a deep voice: "You can't do anything rashly in this matter, but the one you choose must obey orders."
I was really wrong. The word "guilty" should not be used to refer to Feng Lun, but Changsun Wuji is more appropriate!
In fact, Li Shan had some sympathy for the brother-in-law of the King of Qin. He worked hard to get the title of Duke. Many people in later generations thought that Changsun Wuji was not qualified to be ranked first on the list of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion... Actually this was a misunderstanding.
.
The Lingyan Pavilion Heroes List was established in the 17th year of Zhenguan, and was ranked based on the highest official position of the twenty-four people at that time. Changsun Wuji had the highest title of Situ at that time, so he ranked first, Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui, Fang
Xuanling and Wei Zheng were both Sikong, ranking second to fifth.
But at that time, Wei Zheng, Li Xiaogong, and Du Ruhui had all died of illness, and their Sikong was gifted after their death... Generally speaking, the dead were the most generous, but their dead gifts were actually not as good as the living Changsun Wuji.
Is it because Changsun Wuji is too awesome?
Is it because Changsun Wuji is too trusted by Li Shimin?
No, it's because Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin have been in power for more than 20 years, and he has basically never really entered the core level of national governance. Li Shimin even said, "I have the world, mostly with the power of this person." Since he cannot authorize
, the virtual title is naturally high.
Historically, it was not until Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo that he became terminally ill. Zhongshu ordered Ma Zhou to die of illness, and the eldest grandson Wuji became the prime minister... and then his family was soon exiled to Lingnan.
It's a bit pitiful, Li Shan thought to himself. He was dancing the most fiercely now, but he would be idle for more than 20 years... It's no wonder that after Li Zhi came to the throne, Changsun Wuji danced so fiercely again, and died in such a miserable way.
Li Shan has returned to Beijing for several months. This is the second time he has gone to Chengqian Palace to discuss matters. This time the atmosphere is not very good... But at least Li Shan has made his attitude clear. If Li Shimin wants to do something, I will fully cooperate with you. You don't even need to
As an intermediary, you can directly command Su Dingfang at critical moments.
