Liangyi Palace.
This place is where the saint Li Yuan summoned important ministers to discuss matters. The layout is ordinary, with only a dozen Hu stools and a small couch placed. Li Yuan sits on the small couch, and the ministers sit according to their positions.
Today, Li Yuan rarely stood up, picked up Li Daoxuan who was prostrated on the ground, held his arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "The battle report came that day, Liu Heitao was captured and killed, I will say that the world is settled!"
"My nephew dare not boast of his merits." Li Daoxuan sighed: "Although Liu Heitai was captured and killed, the bones of many young men from Guanzhong were buried in Hebei and it is difficult to return to Guanzhong."
This is a fact. After the Central Plains War, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing conquered Shu, Jiangnan, and Lingnan, and Du Fuwei had already gone north to Beijing alone. Only in Hebei, Liu Heitai rose again twice, turning the world upside down and destroying the main force of the Tang army twice. , almost defeated the generals of the Tang army.
Li Daoxuan is only twenty years old this year, but in Li Yuan's opinion, he is already old enough to stand alone.
Li Yuan patted the back of Li Daoxuan's hand and looked at Prince Li Jiancheng, "Daoxuan will be a famous general in the clan in the future."
"That's what father said." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Daoxuan has experienced many battles and is now a famous general."
Li Dao King Qin is not here.
Obviously, Li Yuan was trying to make peace with Xini... The words just now were a warning to the prince to be gentle towards the King of Huaiyang.
This is also the key point that Li Yuan is most criticized by later generations. As a founding emperor, compared with his peers, his decisiveness...at least in his attitude towards his children and nephews, was the direct trigger for the Xuanwu Sect incident.
On the eve of the Xuanwumen Incident in history, either Li Shimin's party or the prince's party were wiped out. No matter how tragic it was, Li Yuan would not get the ending of the Supreme Emperor.
Li Yuan is like a parent in the feudal era. He believes in the principle of "not deaf, not mute, not an aunt", trying to make you happy, me happy, and everyone happy.
This may work for a wealthy family, because even if a child from a wealthy family becomes an official, there are many paths he can take. He can write books and compile history, lead troops into battle, and even if he is not good enough, he can still be famous for his poetic talent.
But Li Yuan forgot, or he never faced the change in his position... As a member of the royal family, everyone was staring at the position under his butt.
Li Yuan asked about the war in Shandong in detail, and expressed a few words of emotion from time to time...but the questions he asked were all minor details.
There was no way, we had to avoid Shi Wanbao... not because everyone died, but because of the cause of Shi Wanbao's death... He committed suicide in shame because of the sage's edict, which made Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng have to be careful.
Well, we can't mention Tian Liu'an and Qi Shanxing. They are the direct descendants of the Prince of Qin's Palace. Even Ling Jing, the hero who patrolled Shandong, couldn't mention them because he had just been called into the Tiance Palace. Therefore, Li Yuan finally asked about them, which made him very touched. Interested Li Shan.
"Yu Wenren reported that Daoxuan wanted to thank Li Huairen before returning to the capital?" Li Yuan said with a smile: "No wonder he entered the palace so late."
Li Daoxuan suddenly stood up and prostrated, "In the next battle, the entire army was wiped out. My nephew is unworthy of his uncle's trust."
Still mentioning this matter... Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were both a little uncomfortable.
Li Jiancheng was a little overconfident... He really didn't let the former Duke Shi Wanbao do such a thing. It was all Shi Wanbao's own initiative. It would be easy to say that if the next wave of victory was defeated, the whole army would be wiped out... This matter made him, the prince of the East Palace, His reputation was severely damaged.
Li Yuan also had a headache... He thought that Li Daoxuan wouldn't be brave enough to mention the saint's hand edict, right?
But then, Li Daoxuan changed the topic, "Li Huairen captured Yugushe, the only son of Jieli Khan alive, and exchanged it for his nephew. Later, he planned a plan, defeated the enemy army, captured Liu Heitao, and made great contributions to the country."
"My nephew does not dare to thank each other for his military achievements. This is the duty of a saint. My nephew only cares about his own body. Not only because of the great grace of surviving, but also because of Huairen's hard work, so as to avenge previous shame."
These few words were plain with a hint of accusation. For such a great achievement, there has been no reward yet... Li Yuan knew that Li Daoxuan was not targeting him, so he glanced at the embarrassed prince with the corner of his eye.
After the Qinghe incident was reported to the capital, he jumped out to write a letter to impeach Li Shan for killing civilians... A large number of them were officials of the East Palace.
Li Jiancheng was a little aggrieved. This was really an unreasonable disaster... Because Li Shimin recruited outstanding people, among the seven surnames, only Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui did not exist, so the East Palace recruited many Cui clan members.
"Thank you in advance, it is as it should be." Li Yuan said with emotion: "It is indeed extraordinary. I wanted to summon him, but I heard that this boy is due to take the scientific examination next month... Let's take a look at him then."
As he spoke, Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng...Dalang, Ling Jing was snatched away by Erlang. Aren't you tempted by this Li Shan?
How could Li Jiancheng not be tempted... Not to mention other things, he was jealous just by planning to defeat the enemy.
Think about it, if he is recruited, the second brother threatens to summon Ling Jing to Tiance Mansion on New Year's Day, and he threatens to summon Li Shan to the East Palace... It will definitely be a bonus.
But there was no choice. Li Jiancheng's subordinates... Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui had more than ten people from far and near. He had to take Qinghe Cui's opinions into consideration.
Although Li Jiancheng knew that it was because of this young man that he suffered a huge loss of face, and the advantageous situation turned into a disadvantage in an instant.
But for Li Shan himself, Li Jiancheng didn't have any bad feelings... He was chased by the pursuers and fled to Weizhou, and was besieged by tens of thousands of troops in Guantao City. Naturally, he had to use all his strength in terms of emotions and ethics.
Li Jiancheng had already had the idea of summoning Li Shan to the East Palace. Unfortunately, after Li Shan killed Cui Bo, even as the prince, he did not dare to rush... No rush, no rush, the same goes for his second brother anyway.
If Li Shimin knew the prince's thoughts, he would probably laugh out loud... After Li Dewu entered the East Palace, Li Shan would never join the East Palace.
If Li Jiancheng really recruited Li Shan to his subordinates, well, Li Shimin would feel... I admit that I installed an dark room in the East Palace, but I really didn't install this.
Li Yuan and Li Xuandao talked for a long time, and finally sent them to the outside of the palace in person, saying earnestly: "We have been fighting on the battlefield for more than two years. Let's take a break for the time being until you can show off your skills."
Li Yuan attaches great importance to clan members who can lead troops into battle. Although the world has been settled, the Turks are eyeing him... Those who lead heavy troops must be clan members.
Before the Turks went south, Li Shimin and Li Shenfu fought on Hedong Road, Li Jiancheng fought on Guannei Road, Li Daoxuan and Li Yuan were the leaders of the Tang Army in Hebei Road, and it was Li Yuanji who led a large army to aid Hebei.
"Tomorrow is a human day. I will invite all the ministers to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms. Daoxuan will come to talk to me earlier."
Li Daoxuan responded one by one and respectfully exited the Liangyi Hall. Li Jiancheng sent him out with a smile.
"Daoxuan..."
"That day, a certain person beheaded Shi Wanbao with his own hands!"
The cold tone made Li Jiancheng take back all the words he had prepared, and watched the thin and tall Li Daoxuan stride away.
He is gentle and elegant on weekdays, and does not avoid arrows in battle, but moves forward bravely... Li Daoxuan's temperament is more staunch than Li Shimin.
