Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 622 Chang'an Incident (Part [-])

On the other hand, Li Shimin became more and more emotional as he talked, and he was so sad that he shed tears... No wonder, Zhang Shigui was appointed and promoted by Li Yuan many times, ranked first in several battles, and was often rewarded.

After the Battle of Bobi, Li Yuan rewarded all the generals, among which the reward to Zhang Shigui was "exceeding the norm".

After the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, Li Yuan pointed out Zhang Shigui's "successive military exploits, and considered him the best in the army", and specially called him to Beijing, and hosted a banquet for him.

But after the Luoyang War, Zhang Shigui gave up his post and joined Tiance Mansion as a general. His status can be said to have plummeted... You must know that the Luoyang War, with his military exploits, was actually a little bit low.

In this, the Eastern Palace contributed a lot...Because the crown prince Li Jiancheng went to the East and Zhang Shigui was with the army. Speaking of which, Zhang Shigui was not Li Shimin's direct descendant, but after Li Tang arrived in the Central Plains, he did not hesitate to join the Tiance Mansion. How to prevent Li Jiancheng from being furious?
This kind of affection...Even without Li Shan, Li Shimin would definitely put pressure on Li Jing. As a commander with a long-term vision and excellent tactics and strategies, Li Shimin knew very well that Li Jing was just being cautious, and the risk of sending troops was not that great.

The reason is very simple, the Turks have been attacking Yanmen for a long time, but their morale is low, and their food and grass are not enough.

But how to exert pressure is another matter. Li Shimin discussed with Ling Jing, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling, and they should not be too active in this matter... because in Donggong's view, the two sides were evenly matched. Xue Wanche was lost, Tiance Mansion lost Zhang Shigui.

What to do, Li Shimin had already made up his mind, and Princess Pingyang's advance was an opportunity, but he didn't expect this sister to doubt his relationship with Li Shan, and push her to this point.

Li Shimin stood up, and said with a light smile: "There are indeed famous generals in Tiance Mansion, who followed my younger brother to fight in Hedong, solidify Guanzhong, fix the Central Plains, and attack Hebei, but when it comes to fighting the barbarians in the grassland, he is the only one with ears."

Princess Pingyang no longer cared whether there was a real connection between Li Shan and Li Shimin, as long as someone from the Tiance Mansion sent someone, it would definitely have a boost for Li Jing to send troops, "Who?"

Chai Shao on the side rolled his eyes. Although he was neutral, he had been under Li Shimin's command for a long time, so he guessed it immediately.

"Hebei famous general, Xue Wanjun."

Walking out of Chengqian Palace, Princess Pingyang was still a little resentful. Although she was not good at maneuvering, she was not a fool. This candidate... I am afraid that the second brother has already decided on it.

Xue Wanche and Xue Wan were divided into East Palace and Tiance Mansion. Now Xue Wanche is trapped in Guji Town. Li Shimin sent Xue Wanche to go north on behalf of Ma Sanbao as General Zuo Wuwei... The East Palace really couldn't find any suitable reason to object.

Looking around, Princess Pingyang said in a low voice: "After all... Huairen and the second brother..."

Princess Pingyang had been suspicious for a long time, but it was just her intuition, and she didn't find any clues, but Chai Shao was much stronger in this aspect, and said with a light smile: "At least [-]%."

"Ok?"

"Everyone in Daidi, Liu Shirang and Su Dingfang belong to the lineage of Huairen, and the rest belong to the king of Qin and the crown prince." Chai Shao analyzed: "Daizhou Simaar Zhu Yichen has no military power, and the commander of the Daizhou army is Su Dingfang; Xue Wanche, Lu Chengji Successively took over as secretary and joined the military, but in fact, the generation of the upper class has long bowed to Huairen."

"In the lineage of King Qin, Zhang Shigui led troops to garrison Guji Town, and Li Demou took over Xia City as the county magistrate, with great power in his hands. Don't drive Zhang Gongjin on behalf of the prefecture... Ordered to garrison the fields, it seems cold, but it is not."

Princess Pingyang nodded slightly to agree with this point of view. Tunning farmland is a hard job. There is no oil and water and no power, but it is very important. Li Jing, who is acting as the governor of the state, must attach great importance to farming.

"But it's hard to say." Chai Shao changed the subject, "After all, Duke Ling is now King Qin's confidant..."

Princess Pingyang knew what her husband meant. If Li Shimin came to power in the future, with Ling Jing around, Li Shan might still have a chance.

After the couple chatted for a long time, Chai Shao went straight out of the palace and returned home. In fact, he didn't tell the truth... In his opinion, Li Shan should have been committed to King Qin's command, and the time will not be short.

Although the King of Qin didn't seem to be close to Li Shan, he was not enthusiastic about the affairs of the land, and he didn't even suggest that the Bingzhou Army go north at the critical moment, but Chai Shao clearly saw that Li Dewu was in the East Palace, which determined that Li Shan could not enter the palace. Under the prince's door.

Li Shan is a gentle and refined person on weekdays, but he has plans at critical moments, and he is also arrogant, and has no intention of reuniting with Li Dewu.

Although he is grateful to Li Shan for saving his wife, Chai Shao feels that if Li Shan is lucky enough to survive, it is better to keep a distance... Whether the crown prince or the king of Qin is in power, there is not much difference to him. Fighting is really not a good choice.

I am different from Li Shan, I don't have to choose, but Li Shan has no choice.

Chai Shao thought of Li Shan and Li Dewu in his heart, and in the East Palace, at this moment, this name also appeared.

After Princess Pingyang said straightly that Li Shimin had decided to send Xue Wanjun as General Zuo Wuwei to go north, Prince Li Jiancheng was very displeased, but he had no reason to object, and he also knew the intention of Princess Pingyang.

Ma Sanbao can come back, but the East Palace will not let go of the post of Daizhou Sima. Prince Zhongyun suggested to send officials to the north to inspect the Daidi...just to find a reason, to send the East Palace to the north to put pressure on Li Jing, it doesn't matter who goes .

The king of Qin has made a move. Although Xue Wanjun, who is very popular with the crown prince and the staff, is proposed, it is impossible for the East Palace to remain indifferent. Otherwise, even if Guji Town falls in the end, the good reputation will be won by the king of Qin. This is what Li Jiancheng does not want to see of.

At this time, Wei Ting suggested that Li Dewu, the lieutenant of Chang'an County, wanted to be released, so it was better to send him to the north, or he could serve in Daizhou and Xinzhou.

Princess Pingyang tried her best to control the muscles on her face, and after thinking about it deliberately, she shook her head and said: "The status is a bit low..."

Li Jiancheng knew what his childhood friend Wei Ting meant. After all, Li Dewu had a special status, he was the son-in-law of Wenxi Pei, and now Wenxi Pei was basically attached to the East Palace.

"What does the third sister mean?"

"I heard that Prince Xima of the Eastern Palace has a good relationship with Huairen." Princess Pingyang thought about it a long time ago, and directly pointed out Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng is a confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng, and his status is not comparable to that of Li Dewu... Li Jiancheng has no objection to this, and only turns to look at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng straightened his body, raised his head and said: "The king of Handan County took office in Daizhou about a year ago. The north has undergone great changes, and he has made great contributions to the country. I am willing to go north."

Princess Pingyang heaved a sigh of relief. If Li Dewu is really allowed to go... Although there will be no trouble, it is really a bit disgusting.
