Man Tanghong

Chapter 132 How about we prepare early?

has a problem?
The problem is big.

Since Luo Shixin surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has always followed Li Shimin's lead.

Li Yuanji wants to regard Luo Shixin as his own now, that means he intends to bring Luo Shixin into the mansion.

Li Yuanji wanted to take food from Li Shimin's mouth, could Li Shimin agree?
Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, the imperial physician, and all the guards stared at Li Yuanji with their mouths open, not knowing what to say.

Li Zhongwen didn't understand the situation at first.

But after seeing the reaction of Su Dingfang and others, he immediately reacted, and looked at Li Yuanji with a little more shock.

Seeing that Su Dingfang and the others were silent, Li Yuanji guessed what Su Dingfang and the others were thinking.

Immediately, Li Yuanji said again: "My idea is very simple. I will treat anyone who works hard for me as my own. You should do the same, because there are not many people who are willing to risk their lives for you and me. You and I are unlucky, and we must cherish it very much when we meet."

What Li Yuanji expressed was very simple. He regarded Luo Shixin as one of his own, and it had nothing to do with positions, interests, or power disputes.

It was purely that Luo Shixin was affectionate and righteous to him, and was willing to work hard for him. He should regard Luo Shixin as his own.

When Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang heard this, their expressions froze slightly, and they were in awe.

What Li Yuanji said was righteous and righteous, he was upright, he could stand, and he stood firmly. When they thought about other things, they seemed a little out of order.

Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang bowed together, "The ministers understand, and the ministers will remember His Highness's instruction."

After saying this, Su Dingfang smiled heartily and said: "In the future, Lord Shan will be his own man, and it's not bad to have a Duke as a younger brother."

Xie Shufang glanced at Su Dingfang with resentment on his face, "Do you want to be my brother too?"

Su Dingfang raised his head slightly, "In terms of age, am I not your elder brother?"

Su Dingfang is more than 30 years old, older than 28-year-old Luo Shixin, and also older than 22-year-old Xie Shufang.

In terms of age, Su Dingfang can indeed be the elder brother of Luo Shixin and Xie Shufang.

But Xie Shufang didn't want to be a younger brother, he was still the younger brother of the two of them.

Once he recognized Su Dingfang as his elder brother, wouldn't he also have to recognize Luo Shixin as his elder brother.

How about that.

"If you have the ability, you should follow the theory of official rank!"

Xie Shufang stared at Su Dingfang and shouted.

Su Dingfang was happy, "Okay, after the class teacher returns to the court, we will discuss it according to the official title."

Xie Shufang was so stunned by Su Dingfang that he was speechless, so he could only stare at Su Dingfang.

Although Xie Shufang's chopping off Tuli Khan's wolf head banner was a great achievement, but compared to Su Dingfang's head of Liu Heizai, it was more than a star and a half behind.

Datang mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses this time, just for Liu Heita's head.

Whoever got Liu Heita's head would win the battle.

With Li Yuan's generosity, a Duke is indispensable.

Eighty percent of closed households are also above [-] households.

Xie Shufang's only brilliant achievement in this battle was going deep into the enemy's camp and cutting off Turkic wolf head banners, which greatly weakened the face of the Turkic people.

Li Yuan is a person with a good face, Xie Shufang has such a good face for Datang, a Duke must be indispensable.

However, in terms of closing households, it definitely cannot reach the level of [-] households.

After all, Datang had a limited number of mouths. Although Li Yuan was very generous in conferring titles, he was very strict in confiscating households.

So when the class teacher returns to the court and rewards are given for meritorious deeds, Su Dingfang's status may overwhelm Xie Shufang.

Li Yuanji watched Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang arguing, and smiled knowingly.

Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang were helping him. They were using this gag to announce to others the correctness of what he just said.

Although it may not be useful, but he felt the intention.

Li Zhongwen was not in the mood to meddle in the affairs between Li Yuanji and Li Shimin, and he was not qualified to meddle. After a brief shock, he said in a hurry: "Your Highness, General Luo rushed to Weize Pass in such a hurry. Is it because my Highness is here?" What accident, came here to report the news?"

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said a little amusedly: "There is really some accident with my sister, and there is no need for General Luo to report it?"

He has been in Datang for so long, but he has never heard of anyone who would use the Duke as a trust.

There are not many people who are qualified to use the Duke of the State as a trust, and there are only four of them, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Xiuning.

But none of them would do that.

Because doing so is no different from insulting people.

The Tang Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty, and the Duke of the State is not a servant of the royal family. People in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty must give a certain amount of respect to the Duke of the State.

Li Zhongwen was stunned for a while when he heard Li Yuanji's words.

"The minister is confused."

Li Zhongwen said with a face of shame.

Li Yuanji nodded and didn't say anything to Li Zhongwen, but ordered the guards to carry Luo Shixin to the main hall.

The imperial physician followed closely behind.

After Luo Shixin was placed properly, he immediately began to treat Luo Shixin's wound.

Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, and Li Zhongwen stayed by the side all the time. After the imperial physician treated Luo Shixin's wound and told everyone clearly that Luo Shixin was not in danger of life, and that his legs would recover after a period of recuperation, Su Dingfang and the three left into the main hall.

The three of them returned to the darker corner again and started drinking.

It's just that the three of them couldn't drink and talk freely like they did at the beginning, but started to drink mulled wine one by one with wine cups.

Li Zhongwen drank for a while, yelled "this wine is boring to drink", and left with a flick of his sleeves.

As soon as Li Zhongwen left, Su Dingfang suddenly looked at Xie Shufang, "Did Your Highness say that you want to fight for that position?"

Xie Shufang seemed to have expected Su Dingfang to ask this question, so he was not surprised at all.

Under Su Dingfang's gaze, Xie Shufang shook his head slightly, paused for a while, then shook his head again.

Su Dingfang frowned and stared at Xie Shufang, "What do you mean?"

Xie Shufang hesitated and said: "Your Highness said before that he is not interested in that position..."

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "So you don't want to argue?"

Xie Shufang glanced at Su Dingfang, and said in a deep thought: "But if your Highness is not interested in that position, why would you take Luo Shixin into the mansion at the risk of antagonizing His Highness King Qin?"

Su Dingfang raised his brows slightly, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, King Qin is likely to inherit that position? If His Highness is unwilling to fight for that position, shouldn't you be against King Qin?
Why are you so sure that King Qin can inherit that position? "

Xie Shufang thought about it for a while, and said awkwardly: "I'm not sure, it's just my intuition. My intuition tells me that the chance of His Royal Highness King Qin inheriting that position is far greater than that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Dingfang thought about it and nodded, and smiled at Xie Shufang: "Your words are a bit outrageous. If the prince finds out, you will be in big trouble."

Xie Shufang gave Su Dingfang a vicious look.

If he didn't regard Su Dingfang as his own, he would tell Su Dingfang these things.

Su Dingfang acted as if he didn't see Xie Shufang's eyes. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "According to what you said, if Your Highness doesn't fight for that position, it's really not appropriate to offend King Qin. If His Highness wants to fight for that position, Then you have to fight King Qin.

But His Highness's mind is a little unpredictable now. "

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang looked at Xie Shufang, "How about...you can ask?"

Xie Shufang stared, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Su Dingfang said disapprovingly: "What are we afraid of? If we don't know His Highness's mind, how should we prepare?"

Su Dingfang was different from Xie Shufang. He had joined Datang for a short time, and he didn't value or care so much about Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin.

They were not so afraid of the power in the hands of the three of Li Yuan.

After all, more than two months ago, he was still rebelling against Tang Dynasty. How could he value Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, and how could he fear the power in their hands.

He only valued Li Yuanji, and only cared about Li Yuanji's thoughts.

If Li Yuanji didn't fight for that position, he would take care of Li Yuanji with peace of mind.

If Li Yuanji wanted to fight for that position, he would fight with Li Yuanji.

The only difference is that if Li Yuanji wants to fight, he and Xie Shufang need to prepare early.

The earlier you prepare, the greater your chances.

If you don't prepare anything and just hold your feet temporarily, then you can only depend on God's will.

He doesn't like to watch God's will act, he prefers to plan and act.

Xie Shufang stared at Su Dingfang, "We can ask about this kind of thing? Can we still get past His Highness?"

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then said in a waned way: "That's true."

Xie Shufang looked at Su Dingfang vigilantly and said, "I advise you not to mess around!"

Su Dingfang gave Xie Shufang a blank look, "Didn't you say that we can't do things beyond His Highness. If His Highness doesn't give orders or make explicit, what can I do?"

Xie Shufang nodded suspiciously.

……

Inside the main hall.

After Su Dingfang and his party left, Li Yuanji taught Luo Shixin who was lying on the bed, "If you are a knight-errant, you will definitely become a well-known hero; admiration.

But you are Tang Xungui.

Although Datang Xungui can also value love and righteousness, but Datang Xungui has to pay attention to limits.

You have to first look at where you are, and also look at your own position.

Once the sympathy you want to talk about exceeds the range you can bear and your position, you should rein in the precipice.

If you insist on your own way, you will die.

Do you understand? "

Luo Shixin was lying on the bed, unable to say a word, so he couldn't respond.

Li Yuanji sighed, and said again: "If I don't declare in public today, if you will be my own person in my family in the future, I am afraid that you will have no place in the Tang Dynasty in the future."
