In the Liangyi Hall, the emperor, the prince, the King of Qin and the ministers and ministers gathered together, listening to the talk of Li Huairen, the successor king of Wei... I am not a fan of martial arts and dislike of literature.
"Huairen is indeed thoughtful." Li Yuan said with a satisfied smile on his face.
Not to mention the itchy Li Shan, even several of the prime ministers below are a bit unnatural... Wasn't King Wei Si forced by your majesty?
Chen Shuda tried to smooth things over and asked, "I heard that Huairen has already drawn up a list?"
"yes."
"tell me the story."
Why are you talking so much nonsense? The only serious thing is to come up with the list.
Next, as Li Shan read out the list and enumerated his merits in a calm manner, the faces of everyone present gradually became stiff.
Chen Shuda paused while stroking his beard, which made his jaw hurt. He was really afraid that Li Shan would take out the list that Cheng Yaojin had created... Then His Majesty would definitely be furious, but he didn't expect Li Shan to change A way, but still overturned the table.
Li Yuanpi hummed with a smile, and glanced left and right. Prince Li Jiancheng on the left lowered his head, and King Qin Li Shimin on the right looked up at the roof beam above.
Among the prime ministers and assistants below, Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren, who appeared yesterday, also raised their heads and lowered their heads. Pei Ji and Feng Lun were all quiet and unnatural, but Pei Shiju was looking at the eloquent people with interest. Excellent Li Shan.
Pei Shiju thought to himself that for other ministers, such nonsense was a challenge to the monarch's authority, but for Li Huairen, the heir to Wei who had made great achievements and was very sensible, and even publicly announced yesterday that he would no longer lead troops into battle, it took a lot of advantage. Reasonable.
To say that Li Shan is somewhat reasonable is because Li Yuan is not reasonable and only forces Li Shan based on his status... People have the wisdom to declare that they will no longer lead the army. Li Yuan really can't do anything to flip the table in such a helpless way. .
What does it mean to overturn the table in a helpless way?
Li Shan first read out Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, Dou Gui, Duke of Fu State, and himself.
No one can fault these three candidates. Dou Gui's military exploits are not very high, because he was not the one who defeated the main force of Liang Jun... But after all, he was the general manager of Yanzhou Road March to regain the four states and capture Master Liang. Du, the overthrow of the Liang Kingdom is barely qualified.
But then, Li Shan listed the names of most of the prime ministers present. Pei Ji, as the counselor of Yuan Gong, was the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was hardworking and loyal, so he should be listed in Lingyan Pavilion.
Then Chen Shuda from Menxia Province, Yang Gongren from Zhongshu Province, and Xiao Yu from Shangshu Province were all among them. Only Pei Shiju and Feng Lun were not included.
This is understandable. On the one hand, the two prime ministers and assistants of the Wenxi Pei family cannot be included. On the other hand, Pei Shiju entered the Tang Dynasty only four years after Wude, so he really had no merit.
Feng Lun was not included because Chen Shuda, who had been attached to King Qin since the beginning of this year, was included, and Xiao Yu was also leaning towards King Qin. It makes sense that Feng Lun, who also served as Sima of Tiance Mansion, was not included.
However, the King of Qin knew that Li Shan and Feng Lun had old grudges, and in a previous secret conversation, Li Shan frankly said that he had a bad impression of Feng Lun... and he also conveyed the message through Ling Jingwan, hoping not to let him Feng Lun knew his position.
In fact, since Feng Lun became Prime Minister, his status in the Tiance Mansion among the King of Qin's lineage has been quite high, and now Li Shimin's close aides such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing have all joined the court as officials. The importance of Zhongshu Ling's seal was even more obvious, making him highly valued by Li Shimin.
In terms of status, Feng Lun should be qualified to know Li Shan.
Hearing this, Li Yuan could still hold back, but then Li Shan crackled out a long list of names, and all of them made sense, at least that's what it sounded like.
Yang Shidao, the minister of the Ministry of War who once guarded Lingzhou, Chai Shao, the Duke of Huo who once conquered Tuyuhun in the west, Ren Gui, the late Guan Guogong who once stood alone in blocking Xu Yuanlang, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, the general manager of Bingzhou who once acted alone in Lingzhou.
Then there are the former Lingzhou Marching Road Chief Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, who defeated the Turks several times and the main force of the Liang Army, the current Daizhou Marching Chief Dai Guogong Li Jing, and the current Lingzhou Road Marching Chief Shi Xihe County Duke Wen Yanbo.
There are already fourteen people... Li Shan paused for a moment. At this moment, Li Yuan's face was extremely ugly, and there was an elusive coldness in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Li Shimin was a little worried, but Pei Shiju, who was sitting very leisurely at the back, was a little regretful... If it ended here, even if Li Shan had made so many great contributions before, even if Li Shan saved someone from the knife last year, it would only be Based on today, His Majesty will definitely alienate Li Shan.
The reason is very simple. Each of these fourteen people has a very important role in the court. Except for Li Shan, Li Xiaogong, and Dou Gui, there are also four prime ministers, a county king, three princes, and a county. Mr.... there are only seven places, who do you want Li Yuan to eliminate?
Eliminating anyone will cause dissatisfaction among the officials... For this opportunity to be remembered in history, Wei Si Wang Li Huairen submitted his name to the emperor. It was really interesting and buddy-worthy, but in the end His Majesty removed his name.
Will those ministers who were eliminated complain about Li Shan?
Of course not. He definitely didn't say it with his mouth, but in his heart he only complained about Li Yuan.
In other words, Li Yuan wanted Li Shan to take the blame, but Li Shan turned a big pot on Li Yuan's back... It's up to you to decide who to choose or not to choose!
Although he is grateful when you choose someone, he may be more grateful to me... After all, I was the one who put him on the list. Whoever you exclude will complain about you, not me.
Oh, there is one person who will not complain about you, Guan Guogong Ren Gui who has died in the battle... But death is a big deal, and excluding Ren Gui is really a bit of a loss of reputation.
And if Ren Gui was eliminated just because of his defeat in Lingzhou, then the King of Qin would have something to say. Pei Ji was defeated twice in Hedong. If the King of Qin hadn't turned the tide, the Tang Dynasty would have become a passing cloud.
How could this situation not make Li Yuan furious? A creature like the emperor... He may not be able to remember how good you were to him. If you cheated him once, he would never forget it in his life!
That's where Li Shimin's worries ended, but Pei Shiju didn't see it that way... Li Shan had more hair than a monkey, how could he reveal such a big flaw!
You must know that without military power in hand, Li Shan's weight in the battle for the right to inherit the throne largely depends on Li Yuan's attitude towards him.
Sure enough, Li Shan paused for a moment because his mouth was dry. He picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water before continuing: "Since the return of Prince Zhao, Ying Guogong has been in charge of the governor's office of Yangzhou for a long time. Although he has no He has made outstanding military achievements, but he has worked conscientiously to appease Jianghuai for His Majesty, so he deserves to be listed in Lingyan Pavilion."
This is the fifteenth...Wu Zetian's father.
