To the north of Yanmen and to the south of Dingxiang.
Li Jing once led his troops to attack the hidden military camp in Xiangcheng.
A military camp was beginning to take shape here again, and in the camp, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Tang troops who were camping here step by step.
"With such a strong army, the Northland has nothing to worry about."
But just as he finished sighing, Li Jing appeared beside him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, why didn't you say this time that your master had dealt with Xiao Xiao in advance in the Northland, and that there was no need to worry about the Northland?"
After Li Jing asked, Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment, "General Li, are you trying to laugh at me? Although I don't know the art of war, my master is so capable and has so many men. And General Li, you have so many people with me." How many manpower are there? Compare these two. The starting point is clear at a glance?"
Although Li Chengqian didn't speak clearly, Li Jing looked at him and sighed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind. As military generals, we should do such things. No matter how many people we have or how few, we should all move forward courageously and have the heroic ambition to solve problems for the Tang Dynasty. We should not stop because of the few people. Dispose of it properly.”
Li Jing's words made Li Chengqian a little confused as to what they meant.
"Why?????????????Why do you say I'm too merciful? Am I merciful?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing doubtfully, but Li Jing did not disappoint him and started talking here.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country, and he should act like one. He must not be influenced by anyone's words at any time. He must have his own ideas and arrangements. No matter whether he is close or not, as long as he makes a mistake, he will not be allowed to do so. Seeking selfishness.”
Li Jing taught Li Chengqian here, which reminded Li Chengqian once again that Xu Yunyan also taught him not to talk about their good points and think about their benefits.
This will make the superiors blindly trust them and forgive them, which will eventually cause huge trouble.
Li Chengqian thought about what Li Jing and Xu Yunyan said and couldn't help but give Li Jing a heavy fist.
Although he is not here, General Li is here, so he must pay homage to General Li Jing.
"Thank you, General Li, for your teaching. I will keep Cheng Qian in mind and I will be a good emperor no matter what."
Although Li Chengqian is the prince now, it is a bit too early to say that he will become the emperor, but Li Jing did not say anything after Li Chengqian said this.
"His Royal Highness, don't say anything if you look forward to seeing me. Now that you are the prince, just do your duties as a prince."
"Yes, yes, Cheng Qian has said too much, and I hope General Li Haihan will do it."
Li Chengqian changed the topic here by asking about some things about the art of war and battle formations, and Li Jing also cooperated and changed the subject, not saying the very sensitive words here.
Although Li Shimin values Li Chengqian very much, Li Shimin is the emperor now and Li Chengqian is not the emperor. As for whether he, the prince, can become the emperor, no one can say now. Only Li Shimin can say it, but as long as they say it here After a while, perhaps feeling that this was too formal, Li Jing and Li Chengqian fell into silence again at the same time.
Li Chengqian did not let this silent period occur too much. Instead, he said here, "General Li, I don't know how the master is doing now. How about we arrange for people to go out to look for the master? Do you think this is appropriate?"
Li Chengqian's new topic made Li Jing very satisfied and he nodded.
"Yes, we should go out and communicate with Li Ying, but we don't want to allocate manpower to one area at the same time, resulting in a waste of troops."
Just when Li Jing agreed to Li Chengqian's suggestion and arranged for people to go out to look for Xu Yunyan, Pei Ji had already followed Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, to Li Shimin's office in the imperial city.
Li Shimin was very angry now, and suddenly the door of the main hall where he was was pushed open. The door clicked without stopping and hit the pillar next to it. The sound was quite loud.
This made Li Shimin quite unhappy and a little angry.
When Li Shimin wanted to see who was so ignorant, he suddenly stood up.
"Father, why are you here?"
It was Li Shimin's father, Li Yuan, who came here. Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, can't I come to your Tai Chi Hall to see you?"
"Okay, okay, the entire Tang Dynasty belongs to my father, and my father can go wherever he wants."
Although Li Shimin really didn't want to say this, Li Yuan would not take it seriously. Even if he really wanted to go out, in order to reduce trouble for Li Shimin, he would endure it here and try not to cause trouble to Li Shimin.
After Li Yuan came in, he waved his hand casually, "Old man, don't wait so long, hurry up and come in."
After Li Yuan waved, Pei Ji strutted towards the main hall.
Although when Pei Ji was outside the main hall, he was so arrogant that he didn't pay attention to other people and took the step of not recognizing his relatives. However, after entering the main hall, he hurriedly collected his clothes and carefully prepared to salute. ???????????????
Li Yuan saw Pei Ji looking a little restless and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first. I didn't come here to ask you to salute him to make him look good."
When Li Yuan said this, Li Shimin was not dissatisfied at all, but stood up.
"Shimin has met Uncle Pei."
This sentence made Pei Ji feel warm in his heart. Li Shimin had completely reconciled with Li Yuan, and now he called himself uncle again after he and Li Yuan were together.
Pei Ji was happy and said here immediately.
"The old minister is terrified."
However, he still wanted to speak in an official tone, but Li Yuan still had a childlike innocence and slapped him directly.
"Okay, are you done yet? Let's get down to business."
Then Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, what important thing happened, why are you so anxious to find him?"
After Li Yuan asked, Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hand without the image of an emperor. The serving eunuch understood and hurriedly stepped forward to close the door of Tai Chi Hall.
Now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to discuss something here, but he cannot let ordinary people know what they are talking about, let alone participate in it.
After Li Shimin told Li Yuan the information he had gathered, Li Yuan couldn't help but scold him.
"You, you, you are the emperor, why don't these people know how to bring them to the main hall for a proper interrogation? Even if they bite out one or two petty officials, you can always replace them with a few of your own people."
Li Yuan scolded Li Shimin here, and Li Shimin was embarrassed.
Yes, why did you forget these things?
Although some of the people in the court are his confidants, there are still more officials and local officials controlled by aristocratic families. If he can use this to win some of his own people in small official positions, it will also be a big victory. ah!
Then Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan awkwardly.
"Father, son, son, son, aren't you caring too much?"
When Li Shimin said this, Li Yuan sighed helplessly.
"You, you."
Then Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji, "Old guy, stop hiding it, tell me if you have any good ideas."
Pei Ji was worthy of being the old fox who accompanied Li Yuan. After Li Yuan and Li Shimin spoke, he had no other thoughts in his heart. Instead, he watched Li Shimin and Li Yuan talking here carefully.
"Actually, I don't have any good solution. I can only follow your Majesty's instructions and send manpower to the south to keep an eye on these people to get information."
Li Yuan watched Pei Ji look at him in confusion after saying this.
"I remember that many of the intelligence systems you established are from this aristocratic family, right?"
Pei Ji felt so embarrassed when he heard this.
"These people will always change. Some of them have been highly used in the aristocratic families, and then they have a clear relationship with us, or they have passed on some unnecessary information to us, and their tails have been It’s been wiped clean, and now they can’t handle it even if they want to.”
"Is there such a thing? I didn't expect that it only took so long for our intelligence system to be established, but it is already so riddled with holes. What should we do?"
But while Li Yuan was thinking about this, Li Shimin had a sudden idea.
"Father, should we not consider the problem of the intelligence system personnel now, but should send some of our available manpower to the south to keep an eye on them, and we cannot let them have bad intentions to cause trouble for us."
When Li Shimin said this, Li Yuan nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, look at it??????????????? We have got the whole point wrong now. Indeed, as the emperor said, we should let our people go to the south and keep an eye on them. Don't let them have other inappropriate thoughts. You are responsible for Pei Ji's matter. You have arranged a lot of people, I believe not all of them are so corrupt, right? "
Pei Ji hurriedly said here, "What the Emperor said is true. There are still many loyal and righteous people who are loyal to me in the Tang Dynasty, and among them, the veterans of the Champion are the most important."
After talking about the champion, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
"After all, I think the person I chose is more reliable."
Li Yuan said this, and Li Shimin was here with a smiling face.
"Father is really reliable in choosing people."
"Then how did you arrange for him?"
At this moment, Li Shimin was a little unclear what Li Yuan meant.
"Doesn't this make him the first guardian of the Anbei Protectorate in Beidi?"
"Yeah?"
Li Yuan touched his chin here, "I remember that I have a brother. You have an uncle Wang and a sister of yours who is not married yet. My title seems to be Princess Luohe, right?"
Li Yuan spoke so straightforwardly that Li Shimin did look a bit unhappy.
"Father, I have thought about the child you mentioned, but..."
Seeing Li Shimin looking a little embarrassed here, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at him.
"What are you embarrassed about? Tell me, why are you showing off in front of us?"
Li Shimin could only say here, "Father, Li Ying's first wife has just passed away two years ago. Is this appropriate? Don't let the princess of our royal family be a concubine just because there is a first wife. This seems to be an insult to our royal family." face."
"What are you afraid of? Since he doesn't have a wife, let's give him a marriage decree. Of course, the marriage is for his wife. It will also save the wealthy family from reaching out to him."
Li Yuan made the arrangement very casually, and Li Shimin had no choice but to persuade.
"Father, I'd better do some research before making a decision. I can't let Uncle Wang feel that we're sorry for him."
Then Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's up to you to do whatever you want."
After Li Yuan relented, Li Shimin hurriedly shouted, "Thank you, father. I will do a good job and will not embarrass my father, nor will I, Li Tang, lose face."
Li Yuan nodded noncommittally, arranged for Pei Ji to do what he should do, and left slowly.
