Li Yuan never thought that his words were exactly the same as what the wealthy family planned.
Xu Yunyan's surprise attack on the Turks in Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Xiang and Yanmen was a new achievement.
Now he is the Protector of the North Protectorate of Champion Hou An and the Champion General. Up there is the Duke.
However, every time a prince was given, the Tang Dynasty was like cutting off a piece of flesh from itself. As for generals like Li Jing who did not participate in government affairs, they would not care no matter how generous the reward was. Although the other sixteen All generals are Dukes of the country.
In the eyes of an older emperor like Li Yuan, the new title of Duke still poses a certain threat, so it would be better to grant the title of Prince Consort in disguise.
Once he became the Prince Consort, he had to overturn this official position and start over again. Although he was still a champion prince and a champion general, it was a bit difficult to be a feudal prince.
Once the general and the princess get married and have children, all the credit must fall on the children, otherwise one child can inherit the title, what if there are two.
Who doesn’t have three or five children these days? Don't all the others have to give him a title?
But while Li Yuan, Li Shimin and others were discussing these matters here, by coincidence, in a county town in Luzhou on the edge of Huainan to Chuzhou??????????????? A caravan-like team slowly drove out of the city.
Among the carriages, there was a carriage that was obviously much more luxurious than ordinary carriages, and was traveling along with it. There were several carriages pulling goods around this carriage, and there were some guards from Bangda Yaoyuan protecting them. , just afraid of something unexpected happening.
Inside the carriage, a woman in palace attire in her late twenties was holding a handkerchief and embroidering a few lines of poetry on the handkerchief.
If Xu Yunyan was here, she might feel a little embarrassed. Who asked her to embroider the Chinese food, and how hard it was to do it?
Such a poem should not appear on the handkerchief in the hand of a woman. After the girl finished embroidering, she looked at the two poems painted on her hand and sighed with emotion.
"The young hero who can write such a poem should be regarded as a sage in the world, but I don't know if I can meet him?"
After talking about this for a lifetime, the woman in palace clothes sighed and asked outside the car.
"We have already left the county, so let's go directly to a courtyard outside the county to spend a few days of leisure. This brother just got married and thinks I am getting in the way here. It's really abominable to kick me out."
When the girl said this, a guard next to her nodded hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, we will go directly to the other courtyard. But is it really okay for you to say this to Your Highness?"
The guard was a bit speechless. Although they were all members of the palace, they still understood the importance of hierarchy. The princess made it clear that she was getting married, and the palace still belonged to His Royal Highness.
"What's the good thing? I used to take good care of my brother. He thought that men should wield swords and guns, so I secretly made cheat sheets for him and did the exercises assigned by my father so that he wouldn't be finished by him. Those who fail to fulfill their duties will be punished by their father. Now that I have a wife and no need for a sister, hey! Let’s go to another courtyard.”
When the guard heard what Princess Luohe said, he couldn't help but look strange.
In fact, he knew that Princess Luohe came out of the county town to take refuge in another courtyard because the princess was not interested in marrying her because the prince was planning to marry her.
After Li Yuan and Li Shimin agreed in the court to award Xu Yunyan a reward if he had new merits, they were now troubled with how to deal with the affairs in the south.
The big family has a big tail, which has seriously threatened their rights.
Now it has nothing to do with us because the Turks destroyed the Northland. The Tang army can move freely in the Tang Dynasty without any restrictions. When they can take advantage of these aristocratic families, they actually ignored the survival of the Northland Dawn for their own rights. This and that happened again, causing them to think of ways to deal a thunderous blow to this wealthy family.
Even if the authority in their hands is not completely taken back, they will no longer have the aloof attitude they have now.
Although Li Shimin had already attacked some aristocratic families through the book, the aristocratic family did not have any good way or way to facilitate the Tang Dynasty to attack the aristocratic family and the country again. Although several people in the court were the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, But I was a little overwhelmed for a while.
In the north, Xu Yunyan finally saw the majestic Tang Army barracks in the valley in the distance, and rushed over quickly on his war horse.
Several miles away from the military camp, they were intercepted by the Tang army who rushed out from the surrounding hiding places.
"Who is coming?"
I just rushed out, and after asking this question, I immediately came here to greet you.
"I will wait until I have seen the champion general."
This is knowing yourself.
Xu Yunyan looked at them and clasped his fists, "Brothers, I'm sorry. I wonder if General Li Jing and Li are working in the military camp? Please let me know, Anbei Protectorate. Protector Li Ying came to report on his duties."
After Xu Yunyan said these words, the guard nodded hurriedly.
"General, wait a moment. I will go to see General Li to report to the general."
After the guard finished speaking, he quickly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the military camp. Along the way, Xu Yunyan found many alert Tang soldiers in several hidden places. Likes, and Li Jing did not disappoint him. He was even more rigorous in this military camp, three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry?
Although the war in the north has calmed down, Xu Yunyan was very satisfied to see this soldier look like this and easily form a military formation in the military camp.
After Xu Yunyan came in, he waited for the guards next to the Chinese army's tent to report. Soon the door of the Chinese army's tent was opened. It was not the soldiers who went to report the news, but the Tang Dynasty Prince Li Chengqian who came out of the tent. .
"Master, I didn't expect you to come."
After Li Chengqian said something, Xu Yunyan hurriedly got off his horse.
"General, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince is here again?"
When Li Chengqian heard this, he did not explain to Xu Yunyan. Instead, he stepped forward and pulled Xu Yunyan up.
"Master, let's go and see General Li first. Why am I here waiting until I see General Li and talk about the business before we talk."
Li Chengqian didn't immediately tell himself why he was here. Instead, he dragged himself to meet Li Jing. This was obviously growth.
Xu Yunyan nodded here, and as soon as he accompanied Li Chengqian into the tent, he saw Li Jing sitting on the main seat. There was a sand table in front of him as if he was teaching Li Chengqian.
Seeing the real master Li Jing, Xu Yunyan hurriedly saluted, "The Protector of the Last General Anbei Protectorate has met General Li."
After Xu Yunyan spoke, Li Jing looked up at him.
"Why is Li Duhu here here if he is not the Duhu of the Anbei Duhu Mansion?"
Xu Yunyan looked at him here and said, "Back to General Li, although the last general is the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate, he knows that General Li is commanding the North, so he came to report on the affairs of the North, and at the same time to wait for the imperial court's decree. ."
Li Jing's family didn't seem to know what was going on, and they were very curious about Li Chengqian. Then Xu Yunyan thought that he was wrong here, and then said the above-mentioned apology to Your Majesty about selecting a wise man to be the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate. At the same time, he said that he had handed over the troops to the deputy governor of Anbei.
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Jing immediately became angry.
"You, you are so confused. You are the majestic Protector of the Anbei Protectorate. You are your Majesty's own son and you accept your fate. You are also the champion general. The list on your shoulders is so heavy. You just threw it away. ?”
Li Jing was scolding Xu Yunyan here, and Li Chengqian was also here to persuade him.
"Master, why are you doing this wrong? This is the Turkic people harboring evil intentions. This is the evil intention of a wealthy family. How come you are blamed for everything?"
Xu Yunyan smiled calmly when the two of them kept cursing him.
"Master, His Royal Highness, please listen to me. If I hadn't made such a suggestion, how could they have the opportunity to resurrect and do evil again? What if we broke them up and completely integrated into other cities? , a few here and a few there, even if they harbor evil intentions, can they do such a thing?"
"You are so kind to a woman!"
Li Jing directly knocked on the table here, "How can you fight like this! When I was a teacher, I caused much more damage in order to conquer the enemy's city than you do now. Why do you think so??????????" ???????open?"
Li Jing talked about a few scenes during his battles here. Every time the army moved, the nearby Li people had forgotten the wind and fled. Their lives could have been very happy, but because of some gossip, they all ran away. Life is even more difficult for their children. When they return home, their home may be occupied by others.
Li Jing became angrier as he spoke. Xu Yunyan actually cared so much about these things in the north, but Xu Yunyan felt a little uncomfortable looking at him.
"Master, I may have thought too much."
"You just think about it too much."
Li Chengqian was also here to comfort Xu Yunyan.
"Some things are not our fault, but the fact that Master was able to dispatch troops immediately and annihilate the Turks again is already a great achievement. Why are you considering this matter here again?"
But Xu Yunyan still smiled: "Maybe I am suitable to be a general who charges into battle, not to take charge of the overall situation. In order not to delay the important affairs of His Majesty and the general, please choose someone wiser. I will be a general. I will lead the troops when needed." , I think it’s more appropriate this way.”
Xu Yunyan put forward his own suggestions here, and Li Jing looked at him.
"Do you really want to be an ordinary general?"
Xu Yunyan nodded, "Yes, I know how much rice is in the big pot and how much I weigh. I may be good at fighting, but I am really powerless to manage this place."
Xu Yunyan laughed, mocking himself for being too self-righteous, and felt that there were many things he did wrong, but Li Jing and Li Chengqian didn't say anything when they heard this.
"Then you should take a good rest, think about it, and then make a decision after His Majesty's instructions come down."
Li Jing had no choice but to comfort Xu Yunyan with words like this. As expected, Xu Yunyan did not disappoint Li Jing. He was not as decadent as before and could think about something.
"General, I'd like to ask General Li and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give it some thought. Should we first arrange for a few people to go to the North to help manage the place, so as to avoid making jokes?"
This is Xu Yunyan's last stubbornness. If Li Jing and Li Chengqian veto it again, I don't know what Xu Yunyan will look like.
Under Xu Yunyan's request, Li Jing was even more satisfied with him.
"In this way, the general can be safe and sound in the court, and your majesty can safely give you the power to do things that are beneficial to your command of the army."
