Under the starry night lights, Li Shan was woken up early, grumbling. In this life, there is no cell phone ringtone to kill, but he still has to get up in the middle of the night. It is really a premature death.
This was the last court meeting in the seventh year of Wude. Li Shan wanted to live in Yanshoufang yesterday. Although the furniture and yard were not completed yet, it was still barely habitable.
Unfortunately, because it was the last court meeting of the year, a large number of officials from other places came to Beijing to pay their respects. Naturally, people from Daizhou also came. Zuowuwei General Xue Wanjun wanted to be a peacemaker and resolve the grievances between Li Shan and Duan Zhixuan.
Li Shan has no interest in this, and he doesn't want to meet Duan Zhixuan. If there is a trouble at that time... He has made up his mind to cultivate himself in the recent period and will never cause trouble!
It has been going on for almost two months, and Li Shan is ready to show Ling Jing that he is really not a troublemaker!
Li Shan yawned and got on the carriage. It was better not to ride a horse at night. It would not be a joke if it fell. Dozens of guards led the horse in front and held lanterns to protect him.
After entering the city, Li Shan held a lantern and blended into the flow of people like a fire dragon, saying hello to people from time to time.
"Huairen."
"Brother Daoxuan." Li Shan, who had the closest relationship with Li Daoxuan, stood in the corner and whispered, "You can't really be the king of Xiangyi County, right?"
"Does it get his turn?" Li Daoxuan sneered.
These days, the matter of preparing troops in Guannai Road has basically become a foregone conclusion. Although Li Shimin has made up his mind to sit on the sidelines, he still needs to take action. It is said that the King of Qin successively recommended Cao Guogong Li Shiji and Ren Guogong Liu Hongji in the Liangyi Palace.
Li Shiji can be called a famous general, but his battles in Shandong during the Wude period in the early Tang Dynasty were a bit miserable, but this year he made great achievements in pacifying Jianghuai.
After the defeat of Jieli Khan, Liu Hongji, the general of You Xiaowei, and Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, stationed troops in Longyou Road to prepare for the Turks' invasion.
Although Liu Hongji did not serve in the Tiance Mansion, he was recognized as a direct descendant of the Qin Prince's Mansion. It was said in Jinyang that he and the King of Qin "rided together when going out, and slept together when entering."
The East Palace side is very thieves and does not compete with the Qin Prince's family for the position of Lingzhou Road Marching Commander. Instead, it holds the position of Lingzhou Commander-in-Chief Xiangyi County... No matter in terms of qualifications or title, Li Shen Fu may not be qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the Lingzhou Road March, but he is definitely qualified for the deputy position.
But in this case, if the prince of the clan becomes the deputy general manager... the general manager is unlikely to choose princes like Li Shiji and Liu Hongji. In the previous battles of destroying Xiliang, Fulingnan, and Dingjianghuai, the actual commander was Li Jing, but in name However, Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, was still the leader.
Therefore, under the premise that Li Shenfu is basically determined to be the deputy general manager of Lingzhou Road March, the person who is qualified to be the commander...not to mention other things, must at least be a county prince.
For example, Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong, Prince Rencheng Li Daozong, Prince Handan Prince Li Huairen, and next to him the eager King Li Daoxuan of Huaiyang.
In fact, even Li Shenfu himself might directly serve as the commander-in-chief...after all, he served as the commander-in-chief of the march across Hedong Road and the commander-in-chief of the merger state.
Li Shan glanced at Li Daoxuan and whispered: "Anyway, I don't want to get involved... The reason why the governor of Abandoned Prefecture returned to the court is to recuperate from his injuries. The outside is healed, but the internal injuries are not healed."
"Bah!" Li Daoxuan spat, looking at the Suzaku Gate from a distance, he whispered: "I went to the Chengqian Hall yesterday, but the second brother seemed to have other intentions."
Of course, he had other intentions. Li Shimin made a presumptuous recommendation, but in fact he was just waiting for the East Palace to stumble... Li Shan complained in his heart and said: "Brother Daoxuan, it's better not to get involved. Last year in Hedong, you and Xiang The King of Yi also has some..."
Last year, Li Shan was suddenly attacked by Turks in Mayi. If Li Daoxuan hadn't been asked to guard Yanmen Pass in advance, something would probably have happened to Li Shenfu... The two had a big quarrel, and finally Li Shenfu returned to Taiyuan angrily. .
At this time, the Suzaku Gate opened, and amid the censor's loud announcement, the last court meeting in the seventh year of Takeru kicked off... Compared with the usual court meetings, the procedures were more cumbersome and the scale was grander, but under Li Shan It seems that it is all a show.
Later generations always regarded the emperor's failure to go to court as a sign of his diligence, but in fact, the court meeting was the least cost-effective among all links. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were three provinces to deal with political affairs. If there was to be group discussion, either
In the Liangyi Hall, or in the Linhu Hall... During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin also built a political affairs hall.
After a series of step-by-step procedures such as entry, waiting, going to the palace, and waiting again, Li Shan had no expression on his face. In fact, he had been in a state of mind for a long time... He was still thinking about the matter of the marching director of Lingzhou Road.
It is impossible for Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, on the one hand, because Li Shimin has already made a decision, and on the other hand, Li Daoxuan and Li Shenfu had some disputes last year.
In the same way, it is impossible for Li Shan... Li Shenfu was driven to Lingzhou. Others may not know it, but he himself knows it. It is largely because of Li Shan... Although it was not Li Shan who drove him away. Go.
Not to mention these, just because of Liu Shirang, Li Shenfu would definitely not have a good impression of Li Shandu...Liu Shirang defeated the Turks this time and became the Duke of Yiyang, which made Li Shenfu itchy with anger.
Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, is even less likely. Although it was later proven that he was falsely accused of treason, Li Xiaogong, who once held great power and controlled the area south of the Yellow River except Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province, is now just a Zong Zhengqing. Once released, he will be a If you don't hold grudges out of your mind, you really want to rebel... No one can afford to take the blame.
Li Shan ruled it out one by one in his mind, King Zhao couldn't do it, King Huaiyang couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, and the current manager of Bingzhou, Rencheng King Li Daozong, still couldn't do it!
In fact, Li Daozong was the most suitable... Because now that Daizhou has flourished, Yanmen has been solidified, and the famous general Dai Guogong Li Jing is guarding it, the military deployment in Hedong has actually gradually moved northward, and Li Daozong has no place to use in Bingzhou.
But before Li Daozong was the general manager of Lingzhou, Li Yuan asked him to compete with Li Shenfu... Now he turned around, Li Daozong came back and sat on Li Shenfu's face.
It's inappropriate from any angle.
Pei Ji was reading the edict in the front... It was probably some formulaic words such as "Now there is peace in the world, let's celebrate the New Year together". Li Shan thought in his heart that the East Palace might directly promote Li Shenfu to the position of commander, or it might also use the qualifications of a member of the army. A senior general with sufficient depth will serve as the commander-in-chief.
It is indeed inappropriate for a general from King Qin's lineage to serve as the chief general, with Li Shenfu as his deputy... but if the general is from the East Palace, Li Shenfu may not be willing to serve as his deputy.
But there is another possibility.
Li Shan's eyes fell on a tall and thin figure in the front. In terms of status, there was another candidate who could make people speechless.
Li Yuanji, King of Qi.
Could it really be Li Yuanji?
Li Shan shook his head slightly. Whether it was the impression given to him in history books or his observations in this life, Li Yuanji did not seem to be such a scheming person.
Moreover, it was Pei Shiju who proposed to prepare troops in Guannei Road... This old fox has already thrown himself into the East Palace, and it is impossible to make a wedding dress for the King of Qi.
Regarding this candidate, Li Shan and Ling Jing had long talks several times. Both of them judged that Li Shenfu was the most likely candidate. The East Palace recommended him as deputy just to exclude candidates recommended by King Qin's lineage.
