On the carriage of the prince's bicycle, Luo Zhang was slightly stunned as he looked at the prince whom he had not seen for many days. For no other reason than that, after not seeing him for several months, it seemed that the prince's energy and spirit had weakened a bit, and he did not know what had happened.
"But after you came back, I wanted to attend your banquet yesterday, but there were too many people, so I gave up the idea. No, I came to see you early in the morning!" the prince said bluntly.
"Did the prince encounter any difficulties?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Problem? Maybe!" Li Chengqian sighed.
"What's going on? If you don't tell me, what's the use of sighing alone?" Luo Zhang asked.
"You just came back and you didn't know that Wei King Li Tai was back. Just yesterday, he was recruited back by his father!" Li Chengqian said bluntly.
"Oh? Your Majesty summoned Li Tai back? Do you know why?" Luo Zhang was also stunned. You know, King Wei made a lot of mistakes at the beginning. He once said that he would not be allowed to return to Chang'an, but he did not expect that this He came back not long after he passed away. Is your Majesty still thinking about changing the prince?
"I heard that Li Tai has been doing well in the fief these days. My father called him back to ask about the situation. I'm worried that he won't be able to leave when he comes back!" Li Chengqian said with a worried look.
Luo Zhang nodded, this may not be impossible. After all, Li Tai was Li Shimin's favorite son before, but he made a big mistake before and got rid of him. Now that many days have passed, who knows if Li Shimin will Put it down and leave Li Tai in Chang'an.
"Don't think so much. Your performance is obvious to all. If it was still possible before, now that Li Tai's supporter Changsun Wuji has fallen, it is impossible for him to compare with you!"
"Don't forget, you still have my support! At the end of the day, His Majesty will listen to some of my suggestions!" Luo Zhang said confidently.
Li Chengqian came to Luo Zhang because of Luo Zhang's words. When he heard Luo Zhang say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and became much more energetic.
"I have to congratulate you today. You have made great achievements in the battle of Gaoguli. I am afraid that my father will give you a large reward today!" The prince calmed down and congratulated Luo Zhang.
"Any great achievements are due to everyone. I don't dare to take credit. If Cheng Yaojin were to do this, Yuchi Jingde wouldn't be able to quarrel with me if he heard about it." Luo Zhang said with a slight smile.
"They are them, and you are you. I have heard everything about you. If it weren't for you, Xincheng would not have been captured so quickly, and Jian'an City would not have been captured without bloodshed, let alone Liaodong City. Well, your artillery demolished the city walls of Liaodong County in a short time. With such a magical weapon, who dares to attack our Tang Dynasty!" the prince said happily.
However, Luo Zhang shook his head repeatedly. This sentence was not just for words to be overshadowed by his great achievements. This could be one of the reasons why Luo Zhang kept a low profile.
In fact, he had so much credit that Li Shimin had a headache on how to award Luo Zhang.
With Luo Zhang's current contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to make him the Duke of the country, but Luo Zhang is too young, twenty, only twenty years old?
Although Luo Zhang's merits are many and great, if Luo Zhang is made the Duke of the country, many people will still object. This has nothing to do with Luo Zhang's merits, but a political game.
Li Shimin could also care about what those people thought. After all, Luo Zhang was so young. If he became the Duke of the country, how would other people in the court survive? In the next few decades, Luo Zhang would probably make more decisions. How will he claim the credit when the time comes?
Could it be that Luo Zhang was given the title of King with a different surname?
Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname. For no other reason than a king with a different surname has a precedent of overthrowing the dynasty, so even if he is one of his own, he has never been granted a king with a different surname.
Even if he is overthrown by his own people and becomes emperor, in the final analysis he is still of his own blood, it's just that someone else is in charge.
"Tell me, is it possible to give it to Duke Luo Zhang?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in the imperial study and asked Du Ruhui.
"The old minister thinks it's feasible!" Du Ruhui said as he left the class.
"I will reconsider!" Fang Xuanling also agreed.
"Luo Zhang doesn't feel that he has a grudge because he has made great achievements but was not granted the title of Duke, right?"
"Your Majesty, Luo Zhang is not this kind of person. From what I know about him, he is not a person who is greedy for power. Otherwise, based on what he has done, I am afraid that a group of people would have gathered around him, but he deliberately did not When in contact with civil servants, he prefers to have contact with Cheng Yaojin and others, which shows the problem. There is no power like Luo Zhang in the court!" Du Ruhui explained.
"Okay, since he has been granted the title of Duke, let's give him some compensation in other ways. After all, the artillery will be my weapon in the future to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If he is not too young, what if I give him a Duke! "Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
