Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 369
That's not gems, that's rock candy.

Sweet, cloying rock candy.

During this visit to Pei's mansion, Li Zhiyun took out his bargaining chip, and prepared to use Bingtang's interest to win Pei's family to help him.

But never expected that Pei Ju agreed to help him.Li Zhiyun was quite surprised by Pei's statement, but since both parties were speaking tentatively, it was not easy for Li Zhiyun to say some things directly.

Of course, what didn't even occur to me was that Pei Ju made insinuations and hoped to marry Pei Su'er to him.

Can Li Zhiyun refuse?
I can't.

Not to mention that Pei Su'er moved his heart, Pei's help alone was enough for him to agree to the marriage.

He could also see that Miss Pei Su'er was afraid that she was at a loss, that's why he gave her a box of rock candy.

It was a hint to her that he would treat her well in the future.

When Li Zhiyun returned to the Shence Mansion and told Du Ruhui and the others the news, they were all joyful.

Xue Shou said: "In the Political Affairs Hall, Prime Minister Yang, Prime Minister Chen, and Prime Minister Pei have already supported His Highness. The six ministers and Dugu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also support His Highness. In addition to King Changping and others, His Highness's great event can be expected! I congratulate Your Highness! "

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Du Ruhui and Xue Yuanjing also cupped their fists in congratulations.

Li Zhiyun chuckled and raised his hand to excuse them.

Yang Gongren himself represents the Hongnong Yang family, and he can also contact some former Sui officials. Pei Ju represents the Wenxi Pei family, Dugu Sheng represents the Guanlong Dugu family, plus the Jingzhao Du family, Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Xue family, and Changping Wang, Ren Chengwang, Huaiyang King, Zhao Junwang, Li Zhiyun's power has expanded rapidly.

Don't look at the small number of people, but there are many people they can contact.

For example, Yang Gongren, although he may appear to outsiders as the former Sui clan, but in fact he is a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family whose roots are upright.Now that he is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family naturally follows him.Coupled with the "former Sui clan" vest, it gave him the opportunity to contact former Sui officials.

In addition, Li Zhiyun's Mrs. Huaiyang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. With the blessing of dual identities, as long as Yang Gongren lobbied properly, it would not be difficult for Li Zhiyun to get the support of the Hongnong Yang family and former Sui officials.

Although Wenxi Pei's prestige is not as great as Taiyuan Wang's in the world, none of the five surnames and Qiwang dares to say that he must be better than Pei.

Once the crown prince falls, there will be no problem for Wenxi Pei to help Li Zhiyun stabilize the Shandong family.

Not to mention the Dugu clan in Guanlong, although after Dugu Zhen died, the Dugu clan tended to be weak, but a thin camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Dugu clan is not thin!

With the Dugu family walking around Guanlong for Li Zhiyun, he will surely gain the support of some Guanlong families in the future.

Li Zhiyun has won [-]% of the several leading generals of the clan.

Indeed, it can be said that a big event is expected!

"Your Highness, how should Minister of War Zhao Cijing win over?" Xue Yuanjing asked.

"No hurry." Li Zhiyun said: "My brother-in-law is highly valued by my father. If I win him over at this time, I may not succeed. When things are determined in the future, based on the relationship between me and him, he is not mine. will become mine."

Although he has a good relationship with Zhao Cijing, Zhao Cijing is very fond of Lao Li, so he will never stand aside when the situation is unclear.

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, Zhao Cihao is currently an official in the Shence Mansion, and I think that through Zhao Cihao, he can exert influence on Zhao Cijing."

Li Zhiyun nodded, "It's possible."

After a while, everyone was about to disperse, but at this moment, Wei Zheng asked to see him.

"My lord remembers, didn't Wei Zheng go to join the army as a cao and manage the military discipline after the integration, didn't he finish it?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.

After the battle of Tangtu, Li Yuan made him a general of divine strategy and ordered him to sort out the conscription horses with full authority. Li Zhiyun took this opportunity to not only expand his army, but also bring in all the old and remnant soldiers of the King of Qin under his command.By the way, many princes' troops were secretly dismantled.

Roughly integrated, it has reached [-] troops.

In addition, all Zhechong government soldiers in the pass are also registering quickly to supplement the reserve force.

This is a huge amount of work, and Li Zhiyun assigned it to Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, and Dai Zhou to do it.

Cen Wenwen was sent to Youzhou not long ago, and the burden fell on Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou.

"Probably not." Xue Yuanjing said: "Chu Suiliang is consolidating the name of the Zhechong Mansion, checking the list of fallen soldiers, and Cen Wenwen went to Youzhou. At present, only Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou are left in charge, Wei Siqi and Dugu Ying Assist them. In addition, I heard that Wei Zheng felt that there was not enough manpower two days ago, so he also seconded Chu Liang."

"Then he came to ask for someone from the king?" Li Zhiyun laughed dumbly.

The Shence Mansion was established not long ago, so the talents are naturally not as good as the most prosperous Tiance Mansion in history.In the face of major and urgent matters, it is understandable that manpower is stretched.

Du Ru said with a dark smile, "Not only Chu Liang, but even the minister's uncle was seconded by him."

Du Ruhui's uncle is Cao Shenjun, a soldier of Shence Mansion, and Du Yan.

With the establishment of Shence Mansion, Li Zhiyun began to recruit talents on a large scale. Among them, relatives and friends of the people around him became Li Zhiyun's key care objects.

Like Du Ruhui's uncle Du Yan, younger brother Du Chuke, several brothers of Wei Siqi, and some children of the Xue family in Hedong all served in the Shence Mansion.

"This Wei Zheng, he does everything swiftly and resolutely." Li Zhiyun shook his head and told Li Zhen, "Go invite him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Wei Zheng strode into the main hall, bowed slightly to Du Ruhui and the others, and the two passed shoulder to shoulder.

"See Your Highness."

"Xuan Cheng is free." Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Zheng sat down comfortably.

Li Zhiyun asked: "Xuan Cheng is here, but because there are not enough manpower to deal with affairs, he came to ask the king for someone?"

"No."

"Oh?" Li Zhiyun asked in confusion, "What's the reason for that?"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Zhen and Li Qiang who were guarding Li Zhiyun's side, "I have something important to report to Your Highness, please stand back."

Hearing this, a trace of displeasure appeared on Li Zhen's face.In terms of seniority, he is Yuan Cong who joined the army of King Jinyang of Chu.

Li Zhiyun said: "Xuancheng, Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang are the king's arms, like my confidants, just speak out when you have something to do, don't have to worry about it."

"This matter is no small matter, I don't dare to be careless." Wei Zheng said stubbornly.

Seeing this, Li Zhen didn't wait for Li Zhiyun's order, and said sensiblely: "His Royal Highness, I will go and guard the door."

"Go."

"Yes."

Li Zhen and Li Qiang left the room and closed the door.

Now there are only two of them left in the room, Li Zhiyun said: "Xuan Cheng, you can talk now."

Wei Zheng was so serious, Li Zhiyun also took it seriously.

Wei Zhengdao: "His Royal Highness, you have been in danger since you became the general of Shence. I really don't understand why you don't know it yourself."

"What does Xuan Cheng mean?"

"Your Highness, the King of Qin used to be the chief strategist. He was feared by the crown prince and repeatedly suppressed him. Now you are the chief strategist, no less than the chief strategist. Aren't you worried that the crown prince will act because of your threat?"

Before, Wei Zheng felt that with the help of Du Ruhui and Xue Shou, the king of Chu should be able to realize the seriousness of the matter soon.

But he waited and waited, and when Cen Wenwen went to Youzhou, he realized that His Royal Highness King Chu might not have realized the danger.

So he couldn't sit still.

Li Zhiyun felt a little comforted in his heart, Lao Wei is a man who can deal with him, and he will tell the truth when he has something to say.

"Xuancheng, I understand what you mean. You think that the king is now the general of the gods and will threaten the crown prince's status in the future, so the crown prince will deal with the king in the near future like he did with the king of Qin, right?"

"That's right." Wei Zheng said: "I also believe that the reason for the sage's canonization of you as General of Divine Strategy is to balance the crown prince."

"You're right, Keming also said about this." Li Zhiyun sighed.
