Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 718 Li Yuan's Decision

When Li Shan and Li Shimin met each other, in Ganlu Hall not far from Chengqian Hall, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Huiren seems to be impartial, but he is also slightly biased."

Princess Pingyang on the stool was confused, she blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, "Father is saying that Huai Ren is going to the Qian Palace so late?"

Li Yuan knew that his daughter was good at other things, but she was not good at it, so she just smiled and nodded without explaining anything.

Huairen had always been upright, returned to Beijing for several months, and was invited to visit Dalang, Shiro, and Erlang after taking up the post of Minister of Agriculture for several months, which was obviously deliberate.

Li Yuan guessed, on the one hand, it was because of Duan Zhixuan, and on the other hand, it was because of Ling Jing.

Because Duan Zhixuan was expelled by Li Shan, he has become a laughing stock in Chang'an City. Many generals of Tiance Mansion have spoken badly about Li Shan in public. A big change of heart.

But Ling Jing and Li Shan have a deep relationship, and they are Li Shimin's confidantes... Li Shan was deliberately slow, and only went to the Chengqian Hall after going to the Wude Hall, obviously to avoid suspicion.

This is what Li Yuan said was "slightly biased", but this is also a common thing. After all, the prince is a prince, and one person is under one person and over ten thousand people... To a certain extent, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, the father and son, stand on the same ground .

"Pingyang, I feel a little regretful about being a father now." Li Yuan sighed, "It's really too fast to jump from Guantao County Lord to Handan County King!"

Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, but cast a weird look... Father, you are the emperor, how can you be so shameless? !
Others don't know, but Princess Pingyang knows the inside story. At the beginning of the year, Li Shan returned to Beijing and brought the news that Tuli Khan wanted to marry the King of Qin... In the end, Li Yuan shamelessly threw the blame on Li Shan's head perfectly.

"Cough, cough, cough." Li Yuan laughed dryly, "It's not that my father is reluctant to part with a county prince, it's just that Huairen is too young, if there is another victory like Guji Town and Cangtou River next time, why should I reward it?"

Princess Pingyang said nonchalantly: "Father will give you more land... No, compared to good land, Huairen still loves money."

"Father, why don't you reward Huairen for making money by himself?"

In the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan changed to minting coins, and Pei Ji was the only civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty who was given the right to mint coins by himself.

Li Yuan hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "Hui Ren would not even ask for fertile land, let alone mint money to accumulate wealth."

Princess Pingyang thought about it, and nodded in agreement. Regarding the refusal of land rewards at the palace banquet that day, Li Shan later explained it in detail... Some concepts are unclear, but the key points can be clearly stated. The key to the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers.

"It's a pity that Huairen canonized the county king." Li Yuan clicked his tongue twice, "otherwise, he would be able to enter the three provinces."

"That's because Huairen is too young." Princess Pingyang frowned and said, "Could it be that the county king can't enter the three provinces?"

"Yang Shuang, the half-brother of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty, Wei Wang Yang Shuang, made three expeditions to the Turks and made outstanding achievements.

"Mingda." Li Yuan looked a little dazed, Mingda is the small character of Wei Wang Yang Shuang.

Yang Shuang is three years older than Li Yuan. His father passed away when he was young, and he was brought up by his sister-in-law Dugu Jialuo. Dugu Jialuo is Li Yuan's aunt.

Because of this relationship, Li Yuan and Yang Shuang have been in close contact since they were young, and they have a very close friendship.

When he came back to his senses, Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Pingyang should be careful with his words, this metaphor is unknown."

Only then did Princess Pingyang remember that Yang Shuang, king of Wei, died of illness only two months after he became Chancellor. He was only 25 years old...it is really inappropriate, Li Shan will be crowned next year.

At the beginning of the Yanmen Great Victory, there were rumors that Li Huairen was like a champion, and compared with Yang Shuang... This is because he is afraid that people will not die.

Princess Pingyang thought for a while, and then continued: "Yang Yichen also served as the prime minister in the former Sui Dynasty."

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, it's really hard to find a Yang Yichen for his daughter to compare with... This one is indeed more suitable, he broke through the Turks at a young age, surpassed Tuyuhun, served as Zong Zhengqing, and Yang Jian once served as a provincial servant during Yang Jian's reign , ranked Zaifu.

When Princess Pingyang talked about this person, the most important thing was that Yang Yichen's surname was Yuchi, and he was trusted by Yang Jian, so he bestowed the surname on Yang, and he was included in the imperial family, and he was regarded as a grandson.

Yang Yichen can do it, and Li Shan should also be able to do it... neither of them are of royal blood.

However, Li Yuan didn't say anything, but he didn't quite agree with it in his heart... In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then Sui Dynasty, the descendants of the clan often served as ministers and assistants, holding great power, so that the monarchy often fell apart, and even changed dynasties.

When Yuwentai died of illness, the eldest son was young and entrusted his nephew Yuwenhu. As a result, this Yuwenhu poisoned the three emperors one after another.

"Let's talk about it later." Li Yuan paused, then said with a smile, "Now that Huairen is appointed Minister of Agriculture, there should be no more fuss."

Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, "This matter is not in a hurry, and Huairen is not in a hurry either."

Saying this in her mouth, Princess Pingyang felt that there might be something wrong with the sentence "I won't make any more troubles"... Shan said that she was forced every time, and everyone agreed afterwards.

But the problem is, from Shandong to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Daizhou and Shuozhou, are you forced every time?

Even if you are forced every time, that is your problem.

Li Yuan leaned on the soft couch, and asked with a smile: "Huai Ren is really not in a hurry?"

"Really." Princess Pingyang said calmly, "As Huairen himself said, he will be crowned next year. Although my father is over fifty years old, he is in good health and can still ride a horse and shoot."

"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly.

The reason why Li Yuan has a good opinion of Li Shan is very complicated. There are various aspects of his behavior and political stance, and he does not want to get involved in the struggle for the heir apparent... that is because His Majesty is in the prime of his life.

How is this not flattering?
Princess Pingyang thought to herself, Huai Ren's words should be more careful in the future, and she keeps saying that she is not good at charming...

The father and daughter chatted for a while, Princess Pingyang stood up and said goodbye, Li Yuan waved, pondered for a moment and said: "It must be Su Dingfang."

Princess Pingyang was a little surprised, "Father, there is no need at this time...you can think about it more, after all, Su Dingfang is not very experienced."

"It's him." Li Yuan smiled and asked, "Hui Ren doesn't know yet, right?"

"Naturally, I don't know. Apart from my father, only Sichang knows."

Li Yuan nodded and watched his daughter leave the Ganlu Hall.

For Su Dingfang's sudden entry into the rank, Li Shan thought a lot but still couldn't figure it out, but he thought of one thing, no matter from the eyes of outsiders, Princess Pingyang herself, or even in Li Yuan's thinking, her own The position of Su Dingfang is actually the same as that of Princess Pingyang.

At this moment, in the side hall of Chengqian Hall, Li Shan was still talking freely, analyzing the situation for King Qin Li Shimin... Now the momentum of King Qin’s lineage is overwhelmed by the East Palace. One day, Gavinda was dismissed from office and expelled from Beijing.
