Li Shimin's current official official position is King of Qin, General Tiance, Shangzhuguo, Taiwei, Situ, Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, Shanshu Ling of Daxingtai of Yizhou Dao, General of the Twelve Guards, and General Manager of Liangzhou.
, Yongzhou Mu.
Yongzhou is Jingzhao County?
Li Shan couldn't help but clicked his tongue. It's no wonder that Li Jiancheng in history pushed Li Shimin to that point... What's the point of what this prince did?
Nominally, Jingzhao County is their territory.
"The King of Qin is now the shepherd of Yongzhou." Cui Xin explained: "There is no Jingzhao shepherd in this dynasty. Gyeonggi Province is actually headed by the shepherd of Yongzhou and is in charge of the nineteen counties of Gyeonggi Province."
"Oh oh oh..." Li Shan suddenly realized. He didn't expect that Li Shimin, the part-time Yongzhou Mu, was not completely idle. He had reasons to directly manage Gyeonggi Province, including Chang'an. He himself was a prince and could not take charge personally. The deputy chief
Shi and Sima can choose by themselves.
In fact, many princes in the Tang Dynasty were granted the title of queen and would become state pastors, but these were only empty positions, titles, and no actual power. However, Li Shimin was able to slightly surpass them by relying on his own prestige.
Cui Xin added, "Previously, Yong Governor Shi, Sima, and Biejia had always been in vain, and no one had taken up the post."
That's natural. Li Shimin was jealous of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng in the past few years. Does he really want to control Gyeonggi Province?
It's different now. Even if he doesn't actually control Gyeonggi Province, it's legitimate for Huang Junhan to move to the capital in the name of supplementing his subordinate officials... Of course, it's mainly to enrich Tiance Mansion, or to supplement the Qin King's lineage in Tiantai Mountain.
The losses of the First World War.
Cui Xin continued: "I heard that the King of Qin intended to use Wang Junkuo to supplement the Beiya Imperial Army and let Li Keshi transfer to the Twelve Guards."
Li Shan reacted immediately, "That guy Luo Yi is going back to Beijing!"
After a pause, Li Shan added: "Chai Shao was in charge of the Beiya Imperial Guards, but Ren Gui, the Duke of Guan, died in battle. General Zuo Qianniuwei must be captured by Luo Yi. His Highness the King of Qin sent Wang Junkuo to reinforce the Beiya Imperial Guards as a check and balance."
Cui Xin blinked, knowing that he was far behind his son-in-law in this regard. He thought for a moment and asked, "After the three states are recovered, will you be the marching director of Lingzhou Road?"
"We have discussed it with His Highness the King of Qin." Li Shan lowered his voice, "Dou Gui is the first choice. Although he once served as Prince Zhanshi, he has been under the command of the King of Qin for a long time and has participated in the battles of Qianshuiyuan and Luoyang. Moreover, he is a maternal relative, so he has
Your Majesty has great faith and will not join the Prince's service."
"The second choice is Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang. This person is most trusted by my son-in-law. He knows the inside story, and his military strategy is unparalleled. He is far ahead of the enemy. If your Majesty has no intention of letting Su Dingfang take charge of the Beiya Imperial Guards again, he may stay in the army, even if he does not.
He may be the chief general or his deputy."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Shan continued: "In addition to his qualifications, Su Dingfang is no worse than Dou Gui. He is a general of the Sixteenth Guards and a Duke of the country. If he manages well, he might be able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Lingzhou Road March.
"
"Is it well managed?" Cui Xin asked.
Li Shan smiled and said, "If my son-in-law finds a way to return to the country before retaking the three states..."
"You are so evil." Cui Xin spat a few words and reminded, "Don't be self-righteous."
"It's just a small trick. Even if it doesn't work, it's harmless." Li Shan thought for a while and continued: "The other generals, the King of Huaiyang Li Daoxuan is a direct descendant of the King of Qin, and is unlikely to stay in the army. Zhang Shigui may serve as the governor of Yuanzhou.
It may also be Lingzhou or Huizhou."
"It would be better for Feng Li and Xue Wanche to stay in the army, but the prince... Pei Shiju may not let you get what you want."
In several successive defeats, Donggong's power in terms of military lieutenant generals has been greatly weakened. It was already a disadvantage, and now it is even worse. Feng Li and Xue Wanche don't have many manpower. If Pei Shiju wants to do something, these two people are sure to do it.
It comes in handy.
After going a bit far, Li Shan turned the topic back and asked about things in the three provinces... Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe, has been active in the three provinces all year round. Even if he has no political sensitivity, he can still find something.
But Cui Xin thought about it again and again, but said that he did not find anything unusual about Pei Shiju and Pei Ji... In this battle of Jingzhou, Pei Shiju did not do anything. Of course, he had no chance to do anything.
Li Shan licked his lips, "Where is Duke Shi Wen?"
"Xiao Shiwen and the King of Qin had some trouble..." Cui Xin shook his head and said: "It was old in the past, unexpectedly... However, although Xiao Shiwen is upright and upright, he is intolerant and intolerant of others. He has no authority.
After a while, I felt grievances, and I quarreled with the King of Qin several times in Shangshu Province, but His Majesty still intervened."
Li Shan asked a few questions and found out that Li Shimin began to actually exercise the authority of the Shangshu Ling after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain. It was okay at first, but later he gradually transferred many of his close aides from the Tiance Mansion to the Shangshu Province and the Sixth Ministry, and even openly transferred the Fangshu Ling to the Shangshu Province.
Xuan Ling and Du Ruhui were brought with them for consultation, which directly violated the rights of Zuo Pu She.
In fact, the main conflict comes from Zuo Pu She Pei Ji. After all, this person is attached to the East Palace, but Pei Ji is also very well-behaved and refuses to take the lead if the situation is not good. On the contrary, right servant She Xiao Yu feels aggrieved and is extremely hostile to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
Hostile and violent.
In fact, Xiao Yu and Li Shimin had an old relationship. When the Battle of Luoyang forced Wang Shichong to surrender, Xiao Yu was ordered to labor. After Li Shimin entered Luoyang, he sent Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui to collect maps and household registrations, prepare imperial edicts, and seal up warehouses.
Cui Xin suddenly said: "It seems that Duke Jiang Guo has had some contact with King Qin recently, and they cooperate well."
Li Shan frowned and thought hard, but his expression gradually relaxed. This time Li Yuan ordered Chen Shuda to work hard, perhaps there was a deeper meaning.
There are now six prime ministers and assistants in the court, including Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Ji, and the provincial minister Pei Shiju. Both cousins are attached to the East Palace. Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun also serves as the Sima of Tiance Mansion... But Li Shan knows well that this person
Sima had a private relationship with King Qi, and his political stance was hard to say. Li Shimin probably didn't know either.
In addition, Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to be impartial. This prime minister, who was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, had the deepest roots in the court. Chen Shuda, the minister under his command, and Xiao Yu, the right servant of Shangshu, were both neutral.
From this perspective, within the Zaifu, the East Palace actually still has an advantage, although this advantage has been minimal after Li Shimin's official Shangshu Order.
But it is impossible for Li Yuan to ignore Zaifu's thoughts... You must know that there is no so-called political affairs hall now, and the person who joins the political affairs hall in the name of participating in secrets is actually Zaifu.
Therefore, after Xiao Yu and Li Shimin, who had an old relationship with the King of Qin, fell out, Chen Shuda suddenly approached him, possibly because of Li Yuan's assignment or hint... If this guess is true, then Li Yuan has almost moved Yi Chu's heart.
, but it may take a long time in actual operation.
Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, please rest first."
Cui Xin was so angry that his lips were trembling. It seems that you have figured it out, but I am still confused!
"Uh..." Li Shan quickly explained, and finally said: "I originally thought that Duke Jiang Guo might be secretly communicating with the East Palace, but now it seems that it is more likely that he is leaning towards King Qin."
Li Shan, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed that Cui Xin had a strange expression on his face, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Father-in-law?"
"How could Duke Jiang Guo surrender to the prince?!" Cui Xin slowly but firmly shook his head, "Absolutely impossible!"
