Man Tanghong

Chapter 147 Did Li Yuan Awaken?

The chief and deputy envoys who announced the decree of the award were still in Qinzhou, and news about the award reached Weizeguan.

Just as Li Yuanji had dealt with the people sent by Qu Tutong to negotiate at Weizeguan, Yu Wenbao happily broke into the main hall of the Guan Yamen, and after a hasty salute, he excitedly reported to Li Yuanji.

"Your Highness, the imperial court's reward has come down, and the chief and deputy envoys who announced the reward have arrived in Qinzhou. Your Highness has been canonized as General Zhenyao, and [-] additional households have been sealed, which is already on par with His Highness King Qin."

The more Yu Wenbao talked, the more excited he became, as if he was the one who was canonized as General Zhen Yao.

Li Yuanji stared in astonishment, "What did you say?"

Li Yuanji couldn't believe his ears.

Yu Wenbao repeated again excitedly, "I said, Your Highness has been canonized as General Zhenyao, and the confinement has also been added to the point of being on par with His Highness King Qin."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, and sat behind the long table in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Sure enough, Li Yuan went back on his word, and was unwilling to fulfill his promise. He passed on the crown prince to Li Shimin. He was canonized and asked to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Shimin, so that he could fight with Li Shimin when Li Shimin got into trouble. , to restrict Li Shimin.

Although he knew Li Yuan would regret it when he left Beijing, but Li Yuan was too anxious, right?
Can't we wait until they return to Beijing to do this kind of thing?

Can't Li Yuan see that Li Shimin is now holding an army of tens of thousands?
Can't you see that Li Shimin, as the Minister of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and the commander of the Eastern Expedition, controlled the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi Province, Duji Province, Hebei Province, Taiyuan Prefecture, Southeast Province, and even Xiangnan Province?

At this time, Li Yuan reneged on his promise and made fun of Li Shimin again. Aren't you afraid that Li Shimin will split in a fit of anger?
Aren't you afraid that Li Shimin will recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and go back to Chang'an City under the banner of the Qing emperor, asking him to be the Supreme Emperor?
"Your Highness? Your Highness?!"

Seeing Li Yuanji sitting there without speaking for a long time, Yu Wenbao thought that Li Yuanji was too excited, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Although it was Li Yuanji who was named General Zhenyao, not him, but he was Li Yuanji's subordinate officer, Li Yuanji's status was elevated, so was his status, of course he was happy.

Youdao means that one person attains the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, that's how it is.

Li Yuanji came back to his senses under Yu Wenbao's call, took a deep breath, let out a long breath, and ordered: "Go and find my sister."

Yu Wenbao was taken aback, then grinned and said, "Your Highness wants to share this good news with His Royal Highness the Princess?"

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao viciously, and said angrily, "How did you find out that this is good news?"

The smile on Yu Wenbao's face froze, and he stared blankly at Li Yuanji, a little confused.

Li Yuanji didn't explain much, and once again ordered Yu Wenbao to find Li Xiuning.

This kind of thing can't be explained clearly to Yu Wenbao, because some things are not convenient for Yu Wenbao to know.

For example, Li Yuan secretly promised Li Shimin the crown prince.

Only Li Yuan and Li Shimin knew about this matter, and Li Shimin didn't publicize it to him. From the moment Li Yuan made the promise, he wanted to go back on his word, and it was even more impossible to publicize it everywhere and make it known.

Li Yuanji only guessed it based on history, so it's inconvenient to tell others.

Not long after Yu Wenbao left, he took Li Xiuning back to the Guan Yamen.

Li Xiuning's face was also not very good-looking, obviously he also got the news about the award.

"Sister also got the news?"

After Li Xiuning arrived, Li Yuanji took the initiative to meet him.

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and nodded, but did not speak.

Li Yuanji immediately ordered Yu Wenbao to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter.

As soon as Yu Wenbao left, Li Xiuning immediately asked, "What does father mean? Do you want to create a estrangement between you and Erlang, and force you to fight Erlang?"

Li Xiuning didn't know that Li Yuan secretly promised Li Shimin the position of prince in order to let Li Shimin go to war. She only thought that Li Yuan deliberately supported Li Yuanji in order to suppress Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji sighed and nodded.

Although the meaning is a bit biased, the purpose is the same.

Li Xiuning frowned, gritted her teeth and said, "How could father do this?!"

Li Yuanji looked helpless.

Why did Li Yuan do this?

Wasn't it because Li Yuan broke his promise and became fat, and he was afraid that Li Shimin would make a fuss, and he would have no face to face it, so he wanted to transfer the conflict out early.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Xiuning stared at Li Yuanji and asked.

Li Yuanji sighed, "What else can I do? I can only resist the order."

If it was in Chang'an City, Li Yuan would dare to accept the canonization of him as General Zhenyao, even the kind of side-by-side king who was mentioned in a play.

Because in Chang'an City, it is not easy for Li Shimin to separate the regime, or to ask Li Yuan to be the Supreme Emperor, so he doesn't have to care about Li Shimin.

But now it is outside Chang'an City, Li Shimin has the conditions for a separate regime, and he also has the strength to be the Supreme Emperor.

Li Shimin's separatism at this time, or asking Li Yuan to be the emperor, is not good for Datang, nor for him.

So he had to take Li Shimin into consideration.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.

She did not expect Li Yuanji to be so decisive and decisive.

For their sister and brother, although they would not be beheaded if they resisted the decree, they would still be punished.

"You have just made a great contribution, not only will you not be able to receive the reward, but you will also have to receive a punishment. Are you willing?"

For Li Xiuning, the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh, and she doesn't want to see Li Yuanji being wronged.

Li Yuanji laughed 'heh', "So what if you are not reconciled?"

You can't just watch Datang split and cause civil strife.

In that case, the loved ones will suffer, and the enemies will be quickened.

There are still many great enemies in the Tang Dynasty that have not been resolved. To engage in division and civil strife is to create opportunities for the enemy.

Although the Turks have retreated, once there is turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will make a comeback at any time.

Master Liang is also waiting for an opportunity.

Fu Gongyou is not far from rebellion.

Although Li Yi is now loyal to Datang, once there is a split or civil strife within Datang, Li Yi will probably turn against him.

Dingkou in the Tang Dynasty now has only about 150 million households, and it can no longer withstand the troubled times like the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Go through it again, and Datang will immediately fall apart.

In many places, it may be Turkic people, or people of other races have the final say.

How did Wu Huan Hua come about?
It is because the Eight Kings of the Jin State engaged in splitting and civil strife, resulting in emptiness of national power, poor livelihood of the people, rapid decline in the number of soldiers and horses, and a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses. An opportunity for the barbarians to take advantage of it.

There are enough outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a split and civil strife, the end may be better than that of the Jin State, but many people will definitely not escape the fate of being sheep.

How could Li Yuanji just watch people become sheep? !
"I'll come!"

Li Xiuning didn't want Li Yuanji to be wronged.

Li Yuanji grinned, he felt Li Xiuning's intentions, but it was unnecessary.

Judging from Li Yuan's attitude towards his children, Li Yuan is obviously patriarchal.

Otherwise, Li Xiuning, a woman with a strategy in her chest, would not have sat on the bench in Weizeguan for so many years.

On the contrary, let the predecessor who does not have much strategy in his chest continue to move freely on the battlefield.

It's a pity that Li Xiuning is not a man.

If it's a man, based on Li Xiuning's attitude towards him, he doesn't need to be a neutral anymore.

"Sister just guard Weize Pass, I will go out to avoid it, and I will come back when the person who announced the decree has left."

Li Yuanji said with a smile.

Although Li Yuanji wants to resist the decree, there is no need to confront the person who announced the decree head-on.

If because he resisted the decree, the person who announced the decree did not announce the rewards to Su Dingfang and others, then he would really suffer a big loss.

He didn't care about his own reward, so if he resisted, he resisted.

He is still very concerned about the rewards of Su Dingfang and others.

"Yuanji!"

Li Xiuning was in a hurry.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Sister, if I get punished, I will just be scolded. If you are punished, not only will you be in bad luck, but brother-in-law, Zhe Wei, and Ling Wu will also suffer.

Brother-in-law is fine, Zhewei and Lingwu haven't seen each other for a long time, you can't let them meet you in prison, right? "

Li Xiuning was shocked.

After all, this is an era where men are respected.

As soon as the three cardinal guides and five constant rules came out, Li Yuan had enough reasons to let his daughter go lightly and severely punish his son-in-law and grandson.

Many times, the princess made a mistake, and the one who was beaten was always the son-in-law.

"I……"

Li Xiuning opened her mouth and wanted to speak.

Li Yuanji smiled again and said, "Sister, how about treating it as my younger brother who protected you for once?"

Li Xiuning's eye sockets turned red all of a sudden.

"Wei Ze Pass will be handed over to Elder Sister, and I would like to trouble Elder Sister to send someone to Luoyang City to see if Second Brother will have a rift with me because of this matter."

After Li Yuanji said this with a smile, he left the Guanya without waiting for Li Xiuning to speak.

After leaving the Guanya, he kicked Yu Wenbao who was still scratching his head at the door, and shouted: "Go and greet the guards at the mansion, let's go hunting."

When Yu Wenbao heard that Li Yuanji was going to hunt, he immediately became interested.

He and Li Yuanji had the happiest time together when they went hunting.

Because Li Yuanji would lead them to act recklessly, doing whatever he wanted, and doing whatever he wanted.

He hasn't hunted with Li Yuanji for a long time.

He thought Li Yuanji had given up hunting.

Yu Wenbao immediately prepared to greet people happily, but after taking two steps, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, turned his head to look at Li Yuanji and said: "The order to confer on His Highness is coming soon, isn't Your Highness waiting to receive the order? "

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao, "Even if I don't accept the order, who would dare to covet my reward?"

Yu Wenbao suddenly said, "That's right, no one dares to covet His Highness's reward."

Speaking of this, he patted his chest and said: "Whoever dares to covet His Highness's reward, we will kill him, and then kill his whole family."
