Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 515

In the pavilion, Li Yuan was silent, his eyes fell on the little padded jacket, and he seemed very interested.

Li Shan, who was sitting in the first seat, said sincerely: "The minister is insignificant, and although he has a small reputation, if it weren't for your majesty's trust, how could he rise to the high position and rule the four states with a long history? example."

"The minister will be crowned at the age of Ming. If he takes the post of acting state governor, there will be objections in the court. If His Majesty grants it, if there is something wrong in the future, it is a trivial matter that the minister's future is uncertain, and it will only damage His Majesty's kindness."

"If I make new achievements again, I will chase north beyond the Great Wall..." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid the story of the champion will be repeated."

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuan couldn't help but blush a little, and cursed: "That guy Sanhu..."

"Uncle, this is not His Royal Highness Qi's fault." Li Shan said with a smile: "It is true that the minister's mother was disrespectful to Princess Qi that day..."

"I heard what Pingyang said!" Li Yuan waved his sleeves and said, "Let Sanhu apologize today."

"Definitely not." Li Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle, His Royal Highness King Qi really had the best intentions. On that day, before his nephew went north to take up his post, he came to pay a visit to Chang Anling... His Royal Highness Qi wanted to be a matchmaker, but I politely declined."

Li Yuan's face changed slightly, Sanhu also wanted to win over... He looked up and saw the helplessness and bitterness on Li Shan's face.

Li Shan adjusted his expression, and said seriously: "My nephew has not yet been crowned, and he has the heart to make contributions, but he is not in a hurry... What's more, it has only been a year since he became an official, and he is already a fifth-rank official. What is there to be dissatisfied with? ?”

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "If you don't appoint you as acting governor, you actually have other intentions... Huairen, Huairen, you acted safely but escaped. In Daizhou, I am afraid that Jieli and Tuli will feel this way..."

"Third Sister is also worried." Li Shan said with a chuckle, "If the Turkic army comes, my nephew will also be frightened... I also ask my uncle to appoint the acting governor as soon as possible, so that my nephew can return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Li Yuan laughed, and asked casually: "Da Lang recommends Guan Guogong, and Erlang recommends Cao Guogong. The former is stable, and the latter is also a famous general. Although Huairen has not been in Daizhou for a year, he knows the inside story and thinks who is more suitable. ?”

After hearing this, Li Shan cast a resentful look, "Others don't know, so uncle doesn't know why my nephew invited him out of Beijing last year?"

"On New Year's Eve, I happened to receive an official document from the court. On that day, my nephew really had a big head..."

"It's like my nephew standing on the edge of a cliff. Only my uncle can save him, but my uncle not only didn't save him, but even pushed him!"

Li Yuan laughed so hard that he laughed and scolded: "Nonsense!"

"As the head of the acting prefecture took office, I also asked my uncle to call my nephew back to the court immediately."

Li Shan sighed and said: "Fight openly and covertly, fight openly and secretly, even discussing matters must be arguing."

"Didn't Pingyang let Ma Sanbao go, and also returned Su Dingfang."

"It's useless. Ma Sanbao looks rough and bold, but he is actually careful, so he won't be involved." Li Shan cried bitterly: "Su Dingfang and his nephew are close friends, but they are taciturn...and the officials of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion are all It is recommended by two parties, and the minister cannot intervene."

Li Yuan nodded secretly. Indeed, it is really difficult for a young man like Li Shan to take charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office.

Looking at the sky, there is no rush to discuss matters in Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan casually asked about the appointment of the generals in Daizhou.

Li Shan commented: "Whether the temperament is stable, or jumps off, or is good at military strategy, or good at riding and fighting, all of them have the ability to be unique. Among them, Zhang Gongjin is the most outstanding. This man can lift a tripod and is good at battle. Fighting and killing also has the ability to govern and govern, both civil and military."

After a pause, Li Shan grinned and whispered, "My nephew just met His Highness King Qin..."

"what happened?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin's complexion is not very good." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "I met something on the way back to Beijing..."

After hearing Li Shan finish speaking, Li Yuan shook his head and said, "There are many outlaws in the Yuan clan... But you asked Zhang Gongjin to investigate the fields?"

"Military station." Li Shan said softly: "Mayi is the throat of the Great Wall, and it is not allowed to surrender to the enemy. I intend to make Yuan Junzhang's troops choose the old and the weak to abolish, and set up army stations in Daizhou, Xinzhou and other places."

"It's cheaper for the two." Li Yuan hesitated, "We will discuss this matter later, when Yuan Junzhang enters the court... I have allowed him to enter the capital, and he will arrive in a few days."

"It's so cute." Li Shan leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Yuan Junzhang has lost his ambition, so he probably won't object to this matter."

"Mayi, Mayi..." Li Yuan muttered a few words, "If Mayi can be defended, it will be difficult for Turks to invade Hedong."

As far as the current situation is concerned, the greatest effect of holding Mayi is to push the front line beyond Yanmen Pass, which can restore vitality to the East Road... On the way back to Beijing this time, Li Shan witnessed with his own eyes that the conditions of the prefectures are better than last year Much more, the reason is very simple, last year the Turks did not loot Hedong.

In the past few years, first Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang almost reached the Yellow River, and then Yuan Junzhang attacked every year. Jieli Khan personally led the army into the fortress three times, one of which almost penetrated the entire Hedong Road.

Li Yuan asked softly: "If you keep Yuan Junzhang in Chang'an, will Liu Shirang be able to keep Ma Yi?"

"Yuan Junzhang leads the governor of Shuozhou far away, and Liu Shirang is the chief historian. It may be possible to gradually replace the lieutenant generals and soldiers, and completely control Mayi." Li Shan said slowly after deliberating: "If your majesty can choose a general as Liu Shirang's deputy, That would give me more confidence.”

After hearing this suggestion, Li Yuan was noncommittal, and Li Shan was vaguely saying...Ma Yi's garrison should still be headed by Liu Shirang. After all, Liu Shirang killed Yu Sheshe himself, and it was impossible to surrender to the enemy.

But the problem is to partner with Liu Shirang... There are not many such candidates, and it is best not to be a member of the Eastern Palace or Qin Wangfu. In addition, before the whole court said that Liu Shirang should be killed, there are even fewer candidates.

Wait until the Jianghuai war is settled down. At least before May, the Turkic attack is impossible, and the Jianghuai side should be able to finish the work next month at the most... Various thoughts swirled in Li Yuan's mind, and he asked casually: "This time the Yanmen Dajie, if there is no promotion, he should be promoted to noble, but Pingyang would not agree to the crown prince's proposal to go to the Duke of Jin, what do Huairen think?"

"Third sister is afraid that my nephew will be promoted too quickly." Li Shan rolled his eyes, "Why don't your majesty give more gold, silver, jewelry, farms, and servants?"

Li Yuan smiled, and nodded at Li Shan, "You are young, but you think a lot."

To make great achievements, but not to be promoted to a position, not to be promoted to a noble, but asking for money, this is imitating Wang Jian, the famous general of the Qin Dynasty... It's just that Wang Jian is afraid of making great achievements, while Li Shan is self-defiled to avoid seizing his heir.

"Forget it, I have my own plans for this matter." Li Yuan had a strange look on his face, "Today's discussion in the Liangyi Palace, the most important thing is the governor of the Daizhou. Does Huairen have any recommendations?"

Li Shan's head shook like a rattle, thinking that the series of foreshadowings in front of him would have some effect.

With Chang Shi in charge of the acting governor's office, Li Yuan will not be promoted after the Yanmen victory. Li Yuan will probably ask Li Shan for his opinion on the candidate for the acting governor... and Li Shan used these foreshadowings to make Li Yuan finally ask.
