Hearing Li Yuanji's answer, Li Yuan smiled and nodded, thinking that Sanhu had also learned his lesson. Instead of asking Dalang and Erlang, nor Feng Lun, Pei Ji, and Pei Shiju, he asked Yang Gongren this thorough question. neutral character.
Nowadays, the positions of many prime ministers and assistants have gradually differentiated due to the changes in the court situation. Pei Ji and Pei Shiju cannot look back. The former is because of his long-term attachment to the East Palace, and the latter is naturally because of Li Shan.
Among the others, Feng Lun is still serving as the Sima of Tiance Mansion, and Chen Shuda is gradually moving closer to the King of Qin. Xiao Yu and the King of Qin were not happy for a time, but they had some affection after all, so Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren was a true neutral.
"Father, I would like to preside over the construction of the palace." Li Yuanji cautiously probed.
Li Yuan thought about it for a moment and said, "There is no need for major construction work. It will be built slightly. You will be the main one, and the generals will be He Chou, the young eunuch, and the governor of Fangzhou will assist you."
There is no way, I will definitely go out for summer vacation next summer. In fact, the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties basically did not spend the summer in Chang'an. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, died in Renshou Palace. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Longji did not mention summer, but also winter. If I'm not in Chang'an, it would be nice to be in Chang'an for two or three months a year.
But Li Yuan would never go to Renshou Palace again, so he chose another location to build the palace.
Li Yuanji suppressed the excitement deep in his heart and said, "Please ask father to give me a name."
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, "Renzhi Palace."
At this time, someone from the palace announced, "Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang has arrived."
Li Yuan straightened up, frowned, and looked at his daughter who was walking towards him, "Pingyang, if you don't cultivate yourself at home, why should you enter the palace?"
"Yes, if anything happens, just let Sichang speak." Concubine Wan Gui stood up and went to greet her.
It is undeniable that among Li Yuan's many children, the most capable is the second son Li Shimin, while the one who is favored the most is Princess Pingyang.
It has been a month since Princess Pingyang gave birth to a daughter. Li Yuan and Concubine Wan Gui visited her three times. They gave her many treasures and even named the newly born granddaughter the county lord.
"Third sister can't sit still." Li Yuanji said with a smile, "But since we have already entered the palace, we won't bring our little niece with us."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Yuan reprimanded: "It's just the full moon. How can I bring it out in this cold winter? If it gets cold, it's not a joke!"
"Yes, yes." Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I heard that on the day of the full moon, I actually grabbed a riding whip?"
"Hahaha, that riding whip is exquisite, inlaid with gems, and dazzling. No wonder I like it." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Huairen sent it specially. It was originally owned by Tuli Khan."
"It seems that in the future I should imitate the third sister, leap on my horse and whip my whip, and show my power on the battlefield."
After listening to a series of words and thinking of the daughter she had just given birth to, Princess Pingyang's face couldn't help but soften a little. Li Yuan then took his daughter to sit down and said, "You are entering the palace just after confinement. There must be something going on. There is no harm in telling her."
Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment, then took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over, "A letter from Huairen."
"Oh?" Li Yuan was a little surprised. In the past two years, Li Shan was in Daizhou and often wrote some information in letters through Princess Pingyang until he resisted. But now Li Shan has become the military commander of Lingzhou Road and almost controls the entire army. If there are affairs within the Guan Nei Dao, they can just submit a letter directly. Why should they go through Princess Pingyang?
After opening the letter and looking at it for a few times, Li Yuan asked with a smile: "Huairen intends to keep Duan Decao and make meritorious deeds for his crime?"
"Yes." Princess Pingyang nodded, "Duan Decao is from his father's old army in his early years. He joined his father's army in Jinyang. He was defeated in Lingzhou and was captured. It is not known whether he will be deposed. Huairen does not dare to specialize, so he wrote this letter."
"Duan Decao guarded Yanzhou in the past few years and worked very hard. Although he was defeated in this battle..." Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I didn't want to remove him from the title, I just dismissed him. Huairen wants to use it, which is also a good thing."
Li Yuan felt like a mirror in his heart. Duan Decao had done a great job in Yanzhou, but he was defeated by his old rival Liang Shidu just over a month after he was transferred to Lingzhou... Obviously, this blame should not be Duan Decao's fault, but the king of Xiangyi. Li Shenfu's.
Besides, as my daughter said, Duan Decao is his direct descendant. The current situation in the DPRK is very strange. Of course, such a character will not be left alone, and there will definitely be a rise in the future.
Putting down the letter, Li Yuan said with a smile: "For such a trivial matter, Huairen just wrote a letter, why should I ask you to make a trip?"
Princess Pingyang said seriously: "In the battle of Jingzhou, he defeated the Turks and beheaded tens of thousands, which showed the country's prestige. This is Huairen's contribution."
"But Huairen also made mistakes."
"Pingyang, come and listen."
"First, as the commander-in-chief, it is not a wise move to personally take risks." Princess Pingyang snorted, "My second brother has also personally taken risks many times, but he has superb martial arts and superb shooting skills, and he has Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong by his side. Such fierce generals protect him, but Huairen is good at strategy, not good at martial arts, and his equestrian skills are ordinary. He abandons his strengths and takes advantage of his weaknesses, which is not the behavior of a wise man."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Erlang also mentioned that Huairen seemed to be in danger, but in fact he chose the right opportunity. In the battle of Yunzhou last year, Huairen also rode alone to charge into the formation, which led to the charge of the whole army and was finally defeated for the second time. Jieli Khan.”
"But when we attacked the camp in Mayi on a snowy night, Huairen did not go into battle in person. Instead, Liu Shirang led the army to attack at night..."
"I'm afraid I forgot, father!" Princess Pingyang interrupted: "Yu Sheshe escaped, but Huairen caught up with him on horseback and captured him alive with his own hands!"
Li Yuan was speechless for a moment and was speechless. How could he have forgotten this matter?
Princess Pingyang continued: "Second, he indulged the enemy chiefs privately. Although Tuli Khan was nominally a junior khan, he had a very high status within the Ashina clan. He competed with Jieli Khan and Dubu Khan successively. Extraordinary Chief.”
"For such a person, it is up to his father to decide whether to kill or release him. Huairen is only the commander of an army, so how can he handle it on his own?!"
Li Yuan was a little confused. He didn't believe that his daughter couldn't understand the reason for the period. Even if his daughter couldn't understand, his son-in-law Chai Shao had been an official in the Sui Dynasty, so he had some thought in this regard. He was also in charge of the imperial palace, so it was impossible for him to know nothing.
What makes Li Yuanmeng the most is that anyone can say such things, but for his daughter who has always supported Li Shan...is this the wrong position?
"Thirdly, as a minister, you play with these little tricks and are narrow-minded. Is this what a minister should do?" Princess Pingyang said loudly: "Father, my daughter has already sent a letter to reprimand Li Huairen."
"Reprimand for what?"
"Can you, Li Huairen, compare yourself to Han Xin?" Princess Pingyang finally showed a smile, "Is it possible that your majesty today is not as good as Han Gaozu?!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan laughed loudly and pointed at Princess Pingyang, "Pingyang, Pingyang, as a father and Huairen, we have a tacit understanding in our hearts. There is no need for this, no need for this."
