Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1379
Li Shimin also knew clearly that Luo Yi insisted on pulling him to meet the prince, but in fact he wanted to help him.He has been in Linyi for six years, from the initial raid to capture the Lion City, and now he has occupied the entire Linyi Kingdom.He has been in the position of Linyi Jinglue envoy for six years.

In six years, I passed eight exams.

A small test every year, a big test every three years, and I have done two terms.

He was excellent in the eight exams. Originally, he was going to be promoted in the fourth exam, but at that time, the situation in Linyi had not stabilized, so he continued to do it.

But now Linyi is completely stable. The imperial court has [-] government troops stationed in Linyi, and the Kunlun Fleet is stationed here. Counties and counties have been established, immigrants have been settled, and ports have been opened for sailing. Linyi has been firmly controlled by the imperial court.

This time Li Shimin entered the Beijing Chaoji, and he will also accept the assessment by the Ministry of Officials. After the debriefing, he may not return to Linyi.

To be honest, Li Shimin is actually not willing to leave Lin Yidao. There is too much painstaking effort in this land in the south of the world. In six years, he has even added many scars. Now he has to give it up like this. How could he be willing? .

It is reported that the imperial court will appoint him as the Minister of the Ministry of War, or as the General of Nanya Yiwei.

But Li Shimin didn't like the Minister of the Ministry of War or the General of Nanya very much. Being an official in the capital was boring to him.

But he also knew that he had some historical problems, and it was impossible for the emperor to let him stay in Linyi for a long time.

He still wants to work outside, and Luo Yi knows it very well, so Luo Yi hopes to help him. Now that the crown prince has pacified Jiangdong, he has a great reputation. With the emperor's trust in the crown prince, if the crown prince can come forward and say a few words for Li Shimin, give him Seeking a good foreign job, the emperor probably would not reject it.

As Luo Yi was talking, he really mentioned about Li Shimin.

"Now Jiangdong is calm, Tiannan is stable, and Mobei is also very good. To be honest, it is Silla in the Korean Peninsula, and the Dongying Islands in Haidong, and some barbarians in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Xishan are still there. Not being honest, not fully accepting the imperial court's naturalization and return policy, many places in the Western Regions and south of Yunnan are still beyond reach."

The prince nodded.

In the past, Yunnan and central Guizhou were completely foreign lands, but they belonged to the Central Plains imperial court in name. In the past ten years, the imperial court has made great efforts to promote these places. They are immigrants again, and the results are not bad, but only a few vertical lines have been established. In those deep mountains and jungles, the barbarians are still very barbaric, and they are not willing to naturalize. If they want to turn those places into Now it is under control like Lingnan and other places, and it may take a long time.

"Although there are wise decisions made by the sages, the stability of the frontier still requires capable officers and officials." Luo Yi smiled and pointed at Li Shimin, "Erlang has been in Linyi for six years, from scratch, almost by himself. Adding a new one to the imperial court has made great contributions. Now the two terms and eight examinations are all top-notch. I heard that the Zhengshitang wants to transfer him to the court as the Minister of the Ministry of War, or as a general of the Nanya. I think it is too inferior. The generals of the Yamen, if they don’t fight, they drink tea. It’s just the organization of the military generals and the sequence of transfer. Erlang is still young, so he should be allowed to contribute more to the court and saints. Guizhou, Yunnan, and Xishan , and even Beiting, Anxi, Hezhong, Daxia, and Baekje are all promising places."

Jiawen smiled and nodded to Li Shimin.

"Li Jinglue's ability, my father has also praised me many times."

The prince looked at this iron-armed handsome man, but he was actually wary in his heart. Although he was called benevolent, he was not stupid under his father's Chunchun teachings. He knew very well what Li Shimin had. It is also clear that he is the uncle of his brother who was born by Concubine Li Gui.

Luo Zhewei, who used to be the King of Wu, threatened his position as the heir apparent. Although the emperor had entrusted both King Wu and King Jin as vassals before, they were nephews and uncles after all.

"Where does Li Jinglue want to go?" the prince asked with a smile.

"I want to do more things. The borderlands can do more things than the North Korea, Japan, or the Western Regions and Southern Borders. I am willing to do some practical things." Li Shimin said.

The crown prince nodded, "That Gu has made a note of it. When he sees the saint when he turns around, he will tell the saint. Come, drink tea, and replace wine with tea. This cup of tea is to honor Li Shuai's contribution to pacify Tiannan!"

Facing the prince's toast, Li Shimin didn't say no, he picked up his teacup and drank it.

Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Xu Shiji and other great commanders all frowned slightly, this Li Shimin was still a little too rude.

This guy, who has been in Linyi for six years, doesn't seem to have become stable. He still looks rebellious. He is so rude to the grown-up Crown Prince.

After drinking tea.

The prince did not enter Guangling City to rest, but changed boats and continued northward, with Li Shimin and Luo Yi following behind.

in the cabin.

Qin Qiong was outspoken to her son-in-law.

"Although this Li Shimin has some abilities, he is too arrogant and rude to His Highness. This person cannot be reused."

The prince smiled, "I've heard that capable people always have a little temper."

"Your Highness, if you want to use a person, you must first tame that person. Employing a person is like riding a horse. If the horse is not tamed, you can't ride it easily, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"Then Prime Minister Qin thinks Gu should seek a foreign job for Li Shimin?"

"What was your Highness planning?" Qin Qiong asked back.

"Gu originally thought that this Li Shimin was indeed very capable. In six years, he completely wiped out the country of Linyi, and made Linyi as stable as a mountain. With his ability and experience, I think he can go to Dongying or North Korea."

Although Suga Mazi of Dongying and Jin Baijing of Silla are loyal to the imperial court, if the imperial court has the opportunity, of course they will not let go of the opportunity to annex the two countries. There is no warmth in a big country.

"Your Highness, absolutely not. Li Shimin is too rebellious, Dongying and Silla, he must not be allowed to go."

"Then let him stay in Beijing?"

Qin Qiong thought for a while, "I suggest that after your highness returns to Beijing, don't talk about Li Shimin with the saint. After the imperial court appoints Li Shimin as the general of the guard in Nanya, your highness will publicly report to the saint and find him a foreign post. It is suggested that His Highness recommend Li Shimin as the Xuanfu envoy of Wei Zang, or the Xuanfu envoy of Heihai."

Wei Zang Road, the original land of Wei Zang in Tubo, now Tubo is divided into two towns, Wusi and Houzang, and the two counties of Luoxie and Linzhi directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The name is a little higher than the economics, but there is really nothing to do much there.

Not to mention the Black Sea Propaganda Envoy, the Black Sea Propaganda Envoy mainly proclaims the Volga Principality of the Turkic Yehu on the other side of the Black Sea, and the Caucasus County of Khazar. Those two Turkic vassal states are actually completely Self-reliant and self-reliant, Li Shimin went there, and he was just a bare-bones Xuanshuai.

"Your Highness, let Li Shimin go to Weizang or Black Sea, and stay with him for eight or 12 years. If this person is tamed, then His Highness will transfer this person back to the important position. But if he is not tamed, then he can be moved to Wusi, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Hezhong, Daxia, Beiting, Mobei and other places for the rest of his life, and he will not be trusted."

The prince thought for a while, "Okay, let's listen to Prime Minister Qin's words first."
