Man Tanghong

Chapter 174 The Temptation From Two Brothers
That is the government soldiers of the states.

In the case of no special meritorious service, there is no need to follow the Chinese army back to Beijing to receive the reward. When in class, just rush back to the governor's mansion and hussar mansion of each state to report and receive the reward.

Among the various armies, only Li Yuanji himself and the officers and men of Li Shimin's Command Army Mansion could ignore many rules and return to Beijing with the Chinese army.

After the whole army moved, it looked like a flood spreading out in all directions, and the scene looked spectacular.

When the army was almost dispersed, Li Shimin seemed to have something to say to Li Yuanji, but he hesitated again and again, and finally did not speak.

After Li Yuanji saw Li Shimin's reaction, he roughly guessed what Li Shimin wanted to say to him, but he didn't follow up.

Li Shimin probably wanted to take the initiative to give him two governor positions in Hebei Province, so that he could help relieve the food pressure that Hebei Province needed.

But in recent days, Changsun Wuji has been running around looking for trouble with him, and Li Shimin is worried that he will run into trouble if he finds him.

"drive……"

After all the soldiers and horses were fully mobilized, Li Yuanji led the soldiers of the Commanding Army Mansion, escorted all the captured items from this expedition, and embarked on the journey back to Chang'an City.

As a rearer army, you will always be the first to go when you go out, and you will always be the last to go when your squadron returns to the court.

There are not many combat tasks undertaken by the rear army, so it has to bear all the heavy responsibilities of the army during the march.

When going out to fight, they block the transportation of food and grass, and when they return to the court, they escort and capture the harvest.

The heads of some important enemies, as well as some seized floating wealth, prisoners, etc., need to be escorted to Chang'an City to show merit to Li Yuan.

The head of the enemy will be sent to the Taimiao by Li Yuan, and he will brag about his achievements to the ancestors.
After confiscating some of the seized floating wealth that only the royal family deserves to enjoy, part of it will be rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

The captive female family members of the enemy, those who have status, will be filled into the Yeting Palace, becoming servants of the royal family, and chips for future rewards to courtiers.

Those who have no status are either rewarded on the spot, or they are charged as Jiaofang Secretary.

This is how a large part of the court ladies in the Yeting Palace in the Taiji Palace came from.

Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong alone contributed nearly [-] court ladies.

Some people may think this is an exaggeration, and think that with the current Dingkou of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang royal family simply cannot support so many court ladies, and it is impossible to have so many court ladies.

That would be wrong.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty left a full [-] palace ladies for all the anti-kings in the world.

After the Tang Dynasty inherited the former Sui Dynasty, it did not collect the [-] maids left by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It was because after Li Shimin captured Luoyang City, he released many elderly palace maids and rewarded them. There are a lot of maids at the bottom.

During this period, Li Yuan also frequently rewarded all kinds of beauties to his subordinates.

Otherwise, there might be more than eighteen thousand maids in Yeting Palace.

Li Yuanji followed the army all the way forward, and arrived at Xin'an Station unsteadily, it was getting dark.

After tidying up some of the embarrassments encountered during the march, he took off his armor, put on tulle, ordered someone to get some ice cubes in the ice mirror, and began to read the letter Xue Wanshu had given him.

What Xue Wanshu wrote in the letter was all about the movements of the eldest grandson Wuji whom he had been staring at in recent days.

Through Xue Wanshu's observation, Changsun Wuji should have reached a certain kind of cooperation with Wei Zheng. After he returned to Beijing, the first person to challenge him was probably one of the officials, and then all the officials.

Xue Wanshu also mentioned in the letter that Changsun Wuji had already talked to some generals in the Sixteen Guards, and it was Fan Shixing who made the connection.

When the officials began to impeach him, some generals of the sixteen guards would also gather together to complain for Wang Junkuo.

Xue Wanshu also specially presented a list of the sixteen guard generals that Changsun Wuji hooked up with.

This is amazing.

Xue Wanshu obviously has penetrated into the 'enemy', otherwise it would be impossible to get such a confidential thing.

"You should have gone to see Li Shou, right?!"

After reading Xue Wanshu's letter, Li Yuanji smiled meaningfully, and lit Xue Wanshu's letter on the candle.

Li Shou is the general of the prison gate, and he is also under the jurisdiction of the general of the right prison gate in the sixteen guards. If Changsun Wuji wants to do things with the generals of the sixteen guards, Li Shou cannot be avoided.

Li Shou is Li Yi's younger brother, who has been acquainted with Xue Wanshu since childhood.

It is said that part of Li Shou's martial arts was taught by Xue Wanshu.

Xue Wanshu even got the list of 'enemies', obviously he had met Li Shou.

"General Sixteen Guards..."

Li Yuanji muttered with a smile, now that he knew who the 'enemies' were, it would be easier to deal with them.

However, there is no need to rush.

"Yuanji..."

After Li Yuanji burned the letter, Li Xiuning broke into Li Yuanji's post room.

Li Yuanji got up slowly, "Sister, I need something to ask me."

Li Xiuning's face was a little ugly and said: "I'm afraid you are in trouble."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiuning in confusion.

Li Xiuning said with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to beat Wang Junkuo to death."

Li Yuanji knew it well, but his face remained calm, "What's the meaning of sister's words? Second brother has already agreed to you, don't care about this matter.

Uncle Wang is also looking at your face, no longer pursue this matter, who else will stare at me? "

Li Xiuning said with an ugly face: "Although Erlang promised not to embarrass you, he did not stop the people under his command to embarrass you. Although Uncle Wang also expressed that he would not pursue this matter, Uncle Wang did not come forward to restrain the other generals of the sixteen guards .

The person I sent back to send a letter to my eldest brother just brought back a letter from Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao said in the letter that officials in the court have impeached you for killing Wang Junkuo.

Say you take credit for being arrogant, arrogant and domineering, and let your father deal with you.

The sixteen guard generals who stayed in Chang'an City were also ready to move.

It seems that they wrote a letter to your father together, asking him to punish you. "

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Sister, what do you mean, they have already started?"

Li Xiuning nodded solemnly, and said: "Looking at what they mean, it seems that they are planning to force father to make a decision before you return to Beijing."

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I don't want to give me a chance to react."

Li Yuanji has returned to the capital, so no matter whether it is the officials or the generals of the sixteen guards, no matter what the trouble is, Li Yuanji can deal with it calmly.

Li Yuanji didn't return to the capital, and the officer and the generals of the Sixteen Guards had a quarrel, so Li Yuanji could only watch.

Changsun Wuji deserves to be the No.1 in Lingyan Pavilion, and his shots are ruthless enough.

The first move was a big killer move, and Li Yuanji was not given a chance to fight back.

"Not only does it not give you a chance to fight back, it just wants to bite off a piece of meat from you."

Li Xiuning said with some resentment.

Li Yuanji said in astonishment: "Isn't it..."

No matter how fierce the quarrel between Yan Guan and the general of the sixteen guards was, Li Yuan couldn't treat him seriously.

After all, Li Yuan didn't do anything to his predecessor when he lost his predecessor and ran away.

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "Now it's just the officials and the generals of the sixteen guards impeaching you, of course it won't happen. But Pei Ju has also written a letter to impeach you."

Li Yuanji was taken aback.

Pei Ju is now a member of the East Palace.

Pei Ju's attitude largely represented Donggong's attitude.

Since someone in the Eastern Palace made a move, those who were attached to the Eastern Palace's sect would definitely make a move.

No wonder Li Xiuning was so angry.

It turned out that Donggong made the move.

"I asked Big Brother to intercede for you. Not only did Big Brother not plead for you, but he took the opportunity to make things worse. Big Brother really..."

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said.

She felt that Li Jiancheng was a little disregarding brotherhood, which was a bit too much.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "So, I'm in big trouble."

Li Xiuning glared at Li Yuanji viciously, "You know you're in big trouble, so why are you smiling?"

Li Yuanji sat on the couch with a calm face, and said with a smile: "No matter how fiercely they impeach, my father can't kill me. It's just that I was cut off from the title or the household.

At that time, I will be able to be a wealthy idler with my sister. "

Li Xiuning was stared at by Li Yuanji angrily, "Did you forget what you told me at Weizeguan before?"

Li Yuanji said dumbfoundedly: "They treat me like this, I really don't want to work hard for them."

"no!"

Li Xiuning stared and said: "If you don't care, then no one can control the two of them."

Li Xiuning could see it clearly. In the matter of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's fight, Li Yuan obviously had no hope. Li Yuanji was the only one he could count on.

If Li Yuanji didn't care, sooner or later Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would have to fight each other and fight each other.

"It's just for my sister's face, otherwise, I really don't want to care about the two of them."

Li Yuanji said with emotion.

Li Xiuning hummed lightly, seemingly dissatisfied, but actually liked Li Yuanji's words.

Among the brothers and sisters, if someone still cares about her and someone listens to her, she is naturally happy in her heart.

Li Yuanji said slowly: "I have made great contributions in Weizeguan, and I did not follow my father and elder brother's thoughts, and my father was only angry and did not take any other actions.

It seems that the eldest brother wants to use Wang Junkuo's affairs to try my depth. "

Li Yuanji finally tasted it.

Li Shimin acquiesced in Changsun Wuji's actions after he showed his power far beyond ordinary people, and he never mentioned the matter of promising him the position of governor. Li Jiancheng also made a sudden move at this time.

It was obvious that everyone wanted to take the opportunity to try his depth.

In terms of force, he showed impressive strength, and recruited a large group of elite soldiers and generals.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng didn't know about the strategy.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng took advantage of Wang Junkuo's affairs to challenge him and test him together.

I just want to see if he has enough strategy to deal with this time, and to see if he will become their real opponent.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng felt threatened from him.

"Brother suspects that you want to fight with him?"

Li Xiuning immediately heard the deep meaning, and her expression became even uglier.

It's okay for Li Jiancheng to fight with Li Shimin, but he still wants to fight with Li Yuanji, Li Xiuning is worried.

"Sister, don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."

Li Yuanji smiled confidently.
