Li Shimin couldn't help but murmur in his heart, he didn't expect that Pei Shiju and Xini were also good at it.
Li Yuan was obviously very satisfied with Pei Shiju's advice. When he was discussing with Li Shimin yesterday, he couldn't help but regret it. He regretted the previous promotion of titles... But there was nothing he could do about it. Li Yuan was a former Sui minister and occupied a place in Guanzhong. At that time, the West There are the Xue family and his son, Li Gui in Liangzhou, the Turks in the north, and the old nests in Hedong were all captured by Liu Wuzhou. It happened that Yu Wenhuaji and Li Mi were defeated in succession, so it would be impossible not to organize a grand promotion of titles.
Li Yuan thought about it for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Remember Huairen's letter and his merits have been listed?"
Yang Gongren nodded and took out the memorial from his sleeve, "The King of Handan wrote a letter from Xiao Guan, describing the merits of all the generals in the army. The merits of Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang and Weiyang County Duke Zhang Zhongjian are first-rate."
"Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, Zhang Shigui, Duke of Nanyang, Xue Wanche, Duke of Wu'an, and Duan Decao, Duke of Pingyuan County, are ranked second class. The rest have detailed lists. In addition, Liu Hei'er, the surrendered general of Jihu, is also classified as second class."
Li Yuan calculated silently in his mind, which meant that only Zhang Zhongjian and Liu Heer could be promoted to nobility, which seemed a bit rare.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly reacted and glanced at Pei Shiju with a cold face. What a good trick!
His eyes met in the air, and the corners of Pei Shiju's mouth curved slightly, as if he was not being polite... You, Li Shimin, almost treated the prince like a monkey just now, and I was just reciprocating the courtesy.
Sure enough, Li Yuan turned his head and asked: "What about the battle in Jingzhou?"
Yang Gongren heard the blog and pondered for a moment: "The deputy commander-in-chief Dou Gui, the Duke of Fu, and the king of Huaiyang Li Daoxuan both led the army alone, the chief minister Wen Yanbo of Xihe County took care of the logistics, and the Duke Kanling of Linji County led the Modao team to be sharp. Breaking the formation is all first-class."
"Weiyang County Duke Zhang Zhongjian, Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, Jingzhou Governor Changxing County Gong Qian Jiulong, Ningzhou Governor Hu Yan, right gate guard general Feng Li, Zouping County Hou Duan Zhixuan, left guard guard general Ma Sanbao, right Qianniu guard general Li Keshi is all second-class, and the ministers who follow him need to read past official documents."
Li Yuan looked relaxed and nodded with a smile. In the battle of Jingzhou, there were several county magistrates and county princes, and there were still some who had not yet been knighted, which was enough.
Hearing this, Chen Shuda couldn't help but glance at Pei Shiju... What a trick. Although the hand and mud were indeed a good idea, Pei Shiju actually pushed Feng Li out. Among the generals, only Hu Yan and Feng There is no title attached to Li Li.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Feng Lide was conferred a title, and once he was transferred back to the court... Chen Shuda glanced at the expressionless Li Shimin, and he had to consider that there might be something strange about the prince who was probably disliked by his majesty.
At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Did Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian have the most outstanding achievements in the Yuanzhou War?"
"Yes." Yang Gongren was a little surprised. King Qin had read the memorial.
"Both of them are Handan personal guards..."
"Second brother, be careful!" Prince Li Jiancheng straightened his back and said seriously: "Zhang Zhongjian led eight hundred warriors on a long journey to attack Xiaoguan at night. Su Dingfang led the army to garrison in the snow and did not retreat. In the end, he was able to break the city. Except for Huairen, Are there any other generals who are more accomplished than these two?"
Although Pei Shiju has been in the officialdom for a long time and has seen countless weird things, he can't help but have the urge to curse.
And Li Jiancheng was still gushing, "What's more, in the battle of Jingzhou, Dou Gui and Daoxuan Wangdi were the first to lead the left and right armies, while Zhang Zhongjian led the front army alone and charged into the battle, and Su Dingfang even led the cavalry. The main force was successful in breaking the formation, but Huairen deliberately suppressed them as second-class because they were from the personal guards around him."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Zicong returned from the army and mentioned that Hui Zhong, the governor of Ningzhou, once said that Huairen was unfair."
Li Shimin was speechless, only looking sideways at Pei Shiju, with a sarcastic look in his eyes that only Pei Shiju could understand... Come on, let's hurt each other!
Pei Shiju's face was extremely ugly. Before, King Qin treated the prince like a monkey, but now he completely treats the prince like a fool!
Pei Shiju knew it well. Today, between Su Dingfang and Dou Gui, the prince chose Su Dingfang...largely because King Qin chose Dou Gui.
Whatever the King of Qin approves of, the prince will definitely oppose it.
Whatever the King of Qin objects to, the Prince will definitely approve.
This pattern has lasted for several years and has become a fixed pattern in Li Jiancheng's mind. He cannot change it and does not want to change it.
Pei Shiju couldn't help but be suspicious. Yesterday, His Majesty said that he would discuss matters today, and Princess Pingyang happened to announce that King Handan had invited him back to the court for training today. He didn't believe this was a coincidence. Maybe it was Li Shan or the King of Qin's method.
If this is the case, it means that Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao have already made a choice. Is this the case?
Although Princess Pingyang was not involved in seizing the legitimate children, she was indeed His Majesty's most favored child. Her husband Huo Guogong Chai Shao was in charge of the imperial palace and controlled the Beiya Imperial Army. Moreover, he had been under the command of the King of Qin for a long time, so it was inevitable that he had some affection.
Pei Shiju sighed quietly, his plan was temporarily in vain, and it was Li Huairen who broke the situation, although the other party probably didn't know it.
If Li Shan fails to defeat the Turks and recapture Yuanzhou, Pei Shiju will have the opportunity to persuade Li Yuan to choose to move the capital... He also has a way to prevent the King of Qin from leading the army personally. By then, Pei Shiju will have control over the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin. spatial.
Who would have thought that the Turks would be defeated so miserably, and who would have thought that Liang Shidu, that loser, would lose Xiaoguan before the New Year.
Li Yuan ordered the provincial government to draft an imperial edict, summoning Li Shan back to the court, and decided on the promotions of many generals such as Zhang Zhongjian, Hu Yan, Duan Zhixuan, Feng Li, Qian Jiulong, Kan Ling, Li Keshi, Ma Sanbao, Zhang Baoxiang, and others. The casual officers at the grassroots level were replaced.
The discussion was almost over, and there was only one last thing left, which was also the most troublesome thing for Li Yuan and the other ministers, which was how to deal with Li Huairen, the king of Handan who had invited himself back to the court for training.
No one spoke for a while. It was almost the same when Li Shan returned to the court after defeating the Turks the year before last. That time, Li Shan was somewhat wronged for seizing the army because of the following crimes, but this time it was different... The identity of the coach was dignified and he defeated the Turks. He personally led the army to attack Xiaoguan at night, but was wounded and fell ill and returned to the court.
Xiao Yu coughed twice, "Your Majesty, the King of Handan was injured and returned to the court to recuperate. How about we wait until he recovers?"
Li Yuan grinned and secretly glanced at his daughter beside him... Princess Pingyang didn't have any expression this time, she looked quite calm.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Li Jiancheng asked tentatively: "Huairen has resigned as the marching director of Lingzhou Road, and he only has Sinong Qing. If he doesn't have authority, I'm afraid rumors will spread..."
Li Yuan nodded in agreement, especially given the previous rumors about Li Shan's self-respect for the army. Li Shan surrendered his military power and returned to Beijing. If there is no proper arrangement in the court, there will be rumors among the public, and this will have a negative impact on the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. That said, it was also a blow.
Although he trusted and admired him, Li Yuan had to complain in his heart, Li Huairen, Li Huairen, how can you always do so many things!
