Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 144 Li Ji Was Played Badly

"After the government soldiers were dismissed and returned home, the imperial court's standing troops were greatly reduced. In this way, one soldier has to be used as two. The status of the standing army of the Sixteenth Guards is particularly important.

And the left guard has been short of a commander for a long time, and this is not a long time.The minister thought that it was time to send a young and vigorous general capable of recruiting to the left guard army to ensure its strong combat power. "

Fang Xuanling's opening remarks opened the prelude to the competition for the left guard general.All the generals present stretched their necks and waited to see who the emperor gave the pie to.

"Xuanling, do you already have a suitable candidate in your mind? Tell me if you have one. Let's discuss it." After giving Fang Xuanling a meaningful look, Li Shimin smiled generously.

If he didn't know that his father was not beautiful in his heart, Li Chengqian would really have believed his enlightened expression.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have a lot of talents in the imperial court, and there are naturally many people who can be the general. But after weighing the left and right, I still think that Li Ji is the most suitable candidate." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Since then, the government soldiers have been dismissed, and the imperial court has no worries.In this way, as long as the generals of the Sixteenth Guards are arranged, the situation of the court will be stable, and the internal affairs can be developed with peace of mind.

"I think Fang Xiang's proposal is very reasonable. Li Ji is young and promising, and he is the leader of this generation of generals. I am convinced that he will be the general of the left guard."

After Chai Shao finished speaking, Xue Wanche also quickly echoed: "That's right, I have no objection to the appointment of Li Ji as the General of the Left Guard."

What happened today, Changsun Wuji was confused, why did the people of the King of Shu come out to protect Li Ji.How did he hook up with the King of Shu? During the northern tour, this guy had a grudge with Li Ke.

This matter is full of evil, when did that kid Li Ke become broad-minded and learn the virtues of the ancients recommending leisure.

"Li Ji made a lot of contributions in the battle of Dingxiang. If he is not allowed to be the general of the left guard, it would be too much to justify. Therefore, I also think that Li Ji is the most suitable candidate."

If Changsun Wuji was suspicious just now, after listening to Zhang Liang’s words, it’s no wonder the crown prince didn’t let him participate in this matter. He was [-]% certain that there was a conspiracy in it, and even people from King Wei came out to recommend it. Li Ji.

Aren't they playing Li Ji with their unanimous words?It made the emperor feel that Li Ji and these princes and ministers had colluded with each other and reached an offensive and defensive alliance. It would be so strange for such an emperor to dare to use Li Ji.

Of course, Changsun Wuji is not the only one who can think of the word "unity of opinion", Li Shimin pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My idea of ​​employing people has always been to focus on talent.

Li Ji commanded the Tonghan Army, and fought vicious battles against Yangling in the first battle and Yinshan in the second, and he made great contributions in the battle of Dingxiang. "

"In my heart, I really want Li Ji to be in charge of the left guard army. I talked to Du Ruhui about it just yesterday. Keming, there must be such a thing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is right, this veteran can testify."

The reason why Li Shimin pulled Du Ruhui out was to show his scheming, and also to think about countermeasures.

With so many people here to protect him, if he is used again as the general of the left guard, wouldn't that create another Li Jing, and wouldn't the situation that Laozi managed to get back be in vain.

"It's not a beautiful day, yesterday there was a side report saying that bandits were rampant in Yanshan, and some people took advantage of the fact that my vitality had not recovered after the Great Tang War, and encouraged thieves to loot houses and bring harm to one side.

At the same time, several big gangsters actually harassed Yanzhou, threatening to merge the state.Bingzhou is the place where the Tang Dynasty flourished, and it is also an important town in the north, so there is no room for loss. "

"So it must be a general who can recruit and fight well. After thinking about it, I think that Li Ji, the British Duke, is the most suitable candidate.

Firstly, he had been stationed there, and he had a great reputation, which was very important for stabilizing the hearts of the local people and boosting morale. "

Second, Mao Gong is young, and there are not so many women and children in his family, unlike some of their veterans who take care of their children, I can't bear it. "

"Maogong, I intend to order you to be the governor of Bingzhou's governor's office, and manage the north for the court. You don't have any difficulties."

After the emperor's words were finished, Chai Shao and the others' hearts blossomed. It's really good that the emperor is suspicious.

Otherwise, how can we overthrow Li Ji, who is a stumbling block, and send him so far away, that he will have no place in the court in the future.

"I'm too young and inexperienced, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand alone." Li Ji replied calmly.

Of course he didn't want to run so far to be a long history of Lao Shizi, did the long history compare to the general?I have fought bloody battles for so many years, don't I just want to stand in front of the court to honor my ancestors.

"Hey, Maogong, you are too modest. I have confidence in you. In the battle of Dingxiang, the general led the army to sneak and attack, and the army was fighting under your command. I think the fight is very good. ,Ok, deal."

Of course the emperor gave him a reason to refuse, whether it was for business or personal reasons, anyway, he put all the reasons that can be put on the face, forcing Li Ji not to nod.

"As for the candidate for the General of the Left Guard, I think Chai Shao will be the candidate. He is old and has served in the military affairs of the Left Guard Army, and he played an important role in the Northern Expedition. Do you have any objections?"

Although Chai Shao's ability is not very good, but he is also his brother-in-law and is very loyal. With such a person, he can sleep soundly at night.

"Your Majesty has a comprehensive view of the overall situation, and the appointment is appropriate. I have no objection."

"The ministers have no objection." After Changsun Wuji made his statement, all the ministers in the hall also bowed and received the order.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

The eldest grandson Wuji who had just walked to the palace gate turned around and went to the East Palace, "Your Highness, just release Li Ji like this, what if something happens to you?"

Although Li Ji's personal morality is lacking, but his ability is there, it would be strange if nothing happened to Li Ji, who was handed over to the resentful Li Ji by the important town in the north.

Looking at the anxious eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sighed.The eldest grandson's lineage is too powerful in the court. Otherwise, with Li Ji's face, how could the queen mother praise a small Cangbu doctor so much.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry, the father will comfort him, and besides, the queen mother praised the Zheng family, so it's just a thought for him."

He still knew about Empress Changsun's choice of concubine for the emperor, and even gave Chonghua, one of the nine concubines, to the Zheng family. Thinking of this eldest grandson Wuji, he felt uncomfortable, and his younger sister suffered again.

No wonder Li Chengqian said nothing about this matter in the court, and he didn't allow his own people to come out to fight.Seeing that the emperor handed over the left guard to the people of the king of Shu, it was to avoid suspicion.
