Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1440 It’s me?

Li Shimin looked strange after browsing quickly. He looked at Li Yuan a few times, and both father and son wanted to laugh.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Yu asked, "How is King Wei Si?"

"Huairen admitted that he was seriously injured and asked your Majesty to send a general to take charge of the follow-up war." Li Shimin clicked his tongue and said, "Are you afraid that your Majesty will be jealous?"

Chen Shuda was the first to speak again, and said straightforwardly: "This is a major military and state matter. King Wei Si is too frivolous, and your Majesty should severely reprimand him!"

But Li Shimin smiled and said: "It seems that Huairen is afraid of being jealous."

"Prince!" Princess Pingyang said coldly: "This is called frivolous. Is this the style of the Prince of the East Palace?"

"This is not the first time Huairen has pushed others for merit." Li Yuan coughed twice, "It's just..."

The whole hall was quiet. Who would go to such a stupid thing?

Whoever goes there is not going to gain credit, but to be embarrassed, and maybe be infamy for eternity.

Li Shimin thought for a while before speaking: "Father, why don't we discuss other matters first?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "It has been more than a month since Daizhou and Xinzhou fell, and all the cities have fallen. Erlang consulted with the Ministry of Civil Affairs to select county magistrates and assistant officials from various places to take up their posts."

Du Ruhui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up and responded. Now the entire Shangshu Province is basically from the Tiance Mansion. Needless to say, the top Shangshu Ling Li Shimin, Zuo Pu Shefang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, are Li Shi's confidants. Most of the people below are direct descendants of the Tiance Mansion.

"Now Han Liang is in charge of Xinzhou and Daizhou, Dou Jing is in charge of Xinzhou, and Li Kai is in charge of Daizhou." Li Yuan frowned and asked, "Who is the governor of Xinzhou?"

Du Ruhui responded: "Fang Renyu."

"Fang?" Li Yuan glanced at Fang Xuanling, "Is it the Qinghe Fang family?"

"He is my clan uncle." Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "He surrendered in the first year of Wude and became the Prince's pacifier of Zheng and Xia. In the fifth year of Wude, he became the governor of Xinzhou."

Li Shimin said: "More than a month ago, the brother of the King of Huaiyang led the Daizhou army to retreat south. Fang Renyu followed the army to Daizhou. He was pursued by Turks on the way and is still recovering from his injuries in Jinyang."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment. Now, the candidates selected by Li Shan to take care of Xinzhou and Daizhou must not be retained.

Dou Jing is the governor of Bingzhou. Although he is an assistant official, the governor of Bingzhou has jurisdiction over seven prefectures. In terms of rank and power, his rank and power are far beyond that of the governor of Xinzhou.

Han Liang is the chief of Tiance Prefecture and will definitely return to the court. Li Kai, who is in charge of Daizhou, is too low-level to be the general manager of Daizhou.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuan made a decision, "After Fang Renyu recovers, he will be recruited back to the court. Erlang will first appoint another governor of Xinzhou."

"Li Kai...what's his position now?"

"Baiquan Order." Du Ruhui responded: "First, under the command of Zhang Shigui, the governor of Yuanzhou, he returned to Beijing to urgently report that Turks and Xue Yantuo were attacking Longyou. On the way, he captured Luo Yi alive and followed the Wei Dynasty King to defeat the enemy with martial arts, and then followed the army to conquer Hebei."

"Remember, remember, he and Huairen are close friends." Li Yuan nodded, "I will grant him the title of acting governor. As for the acting governor..."

The original governor of the state, Qin Wutong, had been killed in battle, so it was natural to select officials to take up the post.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, "Why don't you recommend it to Huairen?" "Father is right." Li Shimin nodded in agreement, "Daizhou is adjacent to Shuozhou, and there are often wars. It requires a general who knows military strategy and is courageous. Now that many generals have gathered in Daizhou, it is up to Huairen to select and recommend them."

Ling Jing remained silent below, thinking that it was no wonder that Huairen wanted to push for merit... His influence in Daizhou was extremely far-reaching. If he did it again this time, even if His Majesty and the Crown Prince were relieved, the Prime Minister below would not be worried either. .

After a rough discussion, all the courtiers left the Liangyi Palace, and only Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang stayed.

"The specific reward will have to wait for Huairen's detailed report." Li Yuan said casually: "I don't know how the battle is going."

Princess Pingyang said angrily: "Huairen kept saying that he was his sworn brother to Jinlan... Although he was trapped, he refused to attack."

"That is to say..." Li Shimin blinked, "Even if Khan Tuli wants to surrender..."

"The guards have said that Huairen will not accept surrender!" Princess Pingyang complained in a very speechless tone: "And we have to provide food for fear that Tuli Khan will starve to death."

After a pause, Princess Pingyang looked at Li Yuan, "Father, these things..."

"This matter is not trivial." Li Yuan interrupted: "My father knows Huairen's intentions, and Erlang knows it even more."

Li Shimin said in a tacit understanding: "If you want to push the merits, it cannot be Su Dingfang, Yuchi Gong, Huaiyang Wangdi, Rencheng Wangdi and others."

Princess Pingyang nodded in agreement. Su Dingfang and Li Shan were one and the same, but Wei Chigong had a lower status in this expedition. Although Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong were in charge of the state army and Bingzhou army, they had been defeated many times before. As for the generals on the Hebei side Although it also played an important role, in general it was just support.

"This person must be famous and have a title. He is a noble person in the court, and his prestige is not inferior to Huairen." Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan cautiously and said, "Father, this kind of person... Although there are not many in the court, there should be some." Bar?"

Li Yuan dodged the suspicious look cast by his daughter and hesitated: "Maybe?"

Princess Pingyang frowned and said, "Prince Zhao?"

After the Central Plains War, Li Xiaogong was the only one who made great contributions and gained a great reputation. However, because his subordinates secretly reported him for treason, he had been idle since returning to Beijing in the sixth year of Wude. He first served as Zong Zhengqing, and later as the general of the right prison guard. No real power.

Li Shimin also avoided Princess Pingyang's gaze, "Father, maybe you can summon Huo Guogong to see you?"

"What?!" Princess Pingyang's eyebrows stood up, her emotions made my husband take the blame!

Others may have dignity, but does that mean Chai Shao can be shameless?

"Since he started his army in Jinyang, Sichang followed his father to pacify Guanzhong, and fought in the north and south under the command of his second brother, with many military exploits." Princess Pingyang shouted: "Now I am restraining the imperial army and protecting the imperial city. Why should I be humiliated like this?!"

This is not wrong. After Li Yuan raised his army in Jinyang, Chai Shao's status in the army was quite high at that time. Li Yuan built the general's palace, Chai Shao became the chief historian, the army swore an oath in Jinyang, and Chai Shao led the cavalry army.

Chai Shao was the first to defeat Song Laosheng and capture Longmen. Later, under Li Shimin, he participated in the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the Battle of Baibi, the Battle of Luoyang, and the Battle of Hulao. He even defeated Tuyuhun and eliminated the threat to the west of the Tang Dynasty. .

Two quarters of an hour later, Chai Shao glanced at his wife, who had a frosty face, and then at His Majesty and the Crown Prince, who had strange expressions... Unlike Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao was quite meticulous in his strategy.

Chai Shao's first thought was that His Majesty did it intentionally... but he immediately overturned it. The prince was still there. Even if the prince was gone, he still had many heirs.

Then, Chai Shao noticed the strange expressions on Li Yuan and Li Shimin's faces. After a moment, his eyes fell on his wife.

After a while, when she found that her father, brother, and husband were silent, Princess Pingyang pointed at herself in disbelief... Could it be that I was the one taking the blame? !
