The atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Shande saluted Li Shimin and walked out of the room. Among the staff, Ling Jing had a mocking look in his eyes, Du Ruhui had an expressionless face, Fang Xuanling had a consistent smile on his face, and Changsun Wuji
My face was red and my ears were red, and I felt a little unable to get off the stage.
Just now everyone was talking about the commander-in-chief of Lingzhou Road March, who had not made a decision yet. Changsun Wuji had a sudden idea and wanted Li Shan to recommend Huo Guogong Chai Shao.
When Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, Chai Shao was the commander-in-chief of the cavalry. He defeated Song Laosheng and captured Chang'an. Later, he followed Li Shimin to participate in the battles of Qianshuiyuan, Baibi, and Luoyang Hulao, and made numerous achievements.
The most important thing is that Chai Shao once conquered Tuyuhun in the west, killed more than ten famous kings, and captured Khan Fuyun alive, so that the Tang Dynasty could fully deal with the Turks' invasion to the south and no longer needed to distract the west.
This was the first large-scale formal war with the Khanate outside the Great Wall after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The ability to achieve such a great victory proved that Chai Shao had the ability to stand alone.
Later, because Princess Pingyang controlled the imperial army in Beiya and took charge of the imperial palace, Chai Shao consciously lived in seclusion and only received the empty post of General You Xiaowei.
Now that Princess Pingyang is pregnant, it is reasonable and reasonable to let Chai Shao serve as the military commander of Lingzhou Road. Although Li Shenfu, the military commander of Lingzhou, is the county king, Chai Shao's wife is Li Yuan's favorite daughter and is still in the army.
It is quite prestigious, enough to overpower Li Shenfu.
This suggestion was naturally based on other factors. After all, Chai Shao had been under Li Shimin for a long time. Although Princess Pingyang was not regarded as a member of the Qin king's lineage, she was still fond of her after all.
However, Chai Shao's comeback was a bit inconsistent with Li Shimin's previous strategy. Everyone was still considering the pros and cons. Li Shan suddenly stood up, spoke sharply, and asked Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin sighed, feeling quite unhappy. It wasn't because of Li Shan's attitude. They had already sent Su Dingfang in front of him. How could he say that his attitude was bad?
He was troubled by Changsun Wuji's impatience... Of course Li Shimin understood that the rise and fall of the Changsun family was closely linked to his own, so the brother-in-law wanted to do it neatly.
Deploying the Imperial Guards of Bei Ya, that's the inside, and recommending Chai Shao as the commander-in-chief of Lingzhou Road's march, that's the outside... Once the mutiny succeeds, the situation will be firmly under control.
But the problem is that although Li Shimin did not deny this possibility, he has been trying to take control of the East Palace... Once there is a mutiny, it will be tantamount to breaking up. It is meaningless to take control of the East Palace. The target can only be the one in the Tai Chi Palace.
Top position.
In the past twenty years or so, Li Shimin had always strived for perfection in everything he did. How could he be so easily stained with ink and let historians write down this stroke?
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing all warned them more than once or twice that mutiny was a last resort, and if possible, they should take advantage of the general situation and seize control of the East Palace.
"The King of Handan is famous for his benevolence and righteousness..." Fang Xuanling said as he glanced at Ling Jing from the corner of his eye.
Ling Jing added at the right time: "Huairen values love most."
"That's natural. The third sister defended her in every possible way and did not hesitate to face Mr. Pei..." Li Shimin nodded slightly, "There is no need to mention the words of the auxiliary machine again."
Li Shan has been doing things in Daizhou for so long. If Princess Pingyang hadn't supported him, it would be hard to say what would have happened. The soldiers and crossbows sent to Daizhou one after another, and the personal guards sent to Daizhou were the second best. The key is Princess Pingyang.
It became a direct channel between Li Shan and Li Yuan.
On that day, Li Shan's life and death were not known in Mayi, and Princess Pingyang directly picked up Pei Shuying... Outsiders did not know the inside story of this matter, and the few people present naturally knew that this was a threat to Pei Shiju.
If you can touch your daughter, you can touch your son or grandson.
With such a relationship, how could Li Shan tolerate Changsun Wuji involving Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne? Once Chai Shao becomes the military commander of Lingzhou Road and controls the military power of Guan Nei Road, the East Palace will definitely try its best to win over the Tiance Mansion.
It's impossible for Bian to just watch like this, he must be using all kinds of tricks.
There was still light snow outside, and Li Shan, with a gloomy expression, strode towards the west side, cursing in his heart that you deserved to be exiled to Lingnan and forced to hang himself from a beam in the future!
Changsun Wuji might even hope to win over Chai Shao!
Li Shan thought in his mind that Li Zhi was not born yet... He must keep in touch and maintain good relationships in the future!
After being informed by the palace people, Li Shan dropped the oil umbrella and entered the Ganlu Hall, "to meet my uncle."
"Huairen is here." Li Yuan was playing chess with Princess Pingyang and asked with a smile: "You came so early, did Erlang neglect you?"
"Don't mention it." Li Shan smiled bitterly, "I haven't even filled my stomach yet."
"Huh?" Princess Pingyang casually gave birth to a child, "Is it because of Duan Zhixuan... or the Duke of Dao?"
Li Shan took a few snacks from the box on the case and said while eating: "This time it is not because Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Dao, had a dispute with the King of Qin... and Changsun Wuji."
"Su Dingfang is also stupid, why do you want to stop Fang Xuanling!"
"Fang Xuanling doesn't have a fish bag, and his eldest son Wuji doesn't have a fish bag either, so why don't you stop him!"
Li Yuan and Princess Pingyang had already heard about this matter, and the latter was not surprised. Su Dingfang had this temperament, and Li Yuan laughed so hard that he concluded that although Su Dingfang was a famous general, he would not be an official.
Gee, I have to say that Li Yuan's judgment is very accurate.
"Su Qingguo has the wind of a willow. She is so upright and suitable for taking charge of the palace." Li Yuan chuckled and raised his head, catching a glimpse of the warm anger on Li Shan's face, and asked in surprise: "Why are you so angry?"
Li Shan sighed, "My uncle's move almost pushed his nephew to the edge of the knife. He neither dared to offend the prince nor the King of Qin..."
"With your father here, what are you afraid of!" Princess Pingyang scolded: "Besides, it is Duke Julu who controls the Beiya Imperial Army, not you!"
"What the third sister said is true." Li Shan said angrily: "Su Dingfang is a minister of His Majesty, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, not a retainer of the Li family... These are what he said today in Chengqian Hall.
.”
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan waved his hand, "I can trust you."
Since there were no outsiders around, Li Yuan didn't bother to say those high-sounding words. He chose Su Dingfang mainly because of Li Shan.
Can you trust me?
The corners of Li Shan's mouth moved. I can't believe myself!
"There is no distinction between monarch and minister here." Li Yuan asked with a smile: "What was the dispute between Huairen and Changsun Wuji in Chengqian Hall?"
Li Shan gritted his teeth, "That fellow actually asked my nephew to recommend his third brother-in-law to be the military commander of Lingzhou Road in front of his uncle!"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and turned to look at his daughter. Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows and slapped her right hand, causing the chess pieces on the chessboard to fly everywhere. "Changsun Wuji is so brave!"
"Third sister, let the third brother-in-law beat him up?" Li Shan immediately fanned the flames, "It is really inappropriate for such a person to serve at the side of King Qin!"
Princess Pingyang glared at Li Shan fiercely and gave King Qin's brother-in-law a good beating... Then Princess Qin naturally held a grudge, and the East Palace must have applauded her, so wouldn't she and her husband have to get involved?
