Man Tanghong

Chapter 181

"His Royal Highness King Qi is mighty!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

"..."

All the civil and military men shouted loudly, responding to Li Jiancheng's words.

The smile on Li Jiancheng's face became more brilliant amidst the shouts of civil and military personnel. It seemed to be happy for Datang's great victory, and also seemed to be happy for Li Yuanji's supreme meritorious service.

With a bright smile, Li Jiancheng praised Li Yuanji in public, and then went to Qu Tutong and the others to "condolence".

Especially in front of the two great heroes of the Eastern Expedition, Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, I stopped for a while, and very enthusiastically asked the two of them to talk about their feats during the Eastern Expedition.

Xie Shufang turned a blind eye to Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm, and after describing to Li Jiancheng a rough description of the process of entering the Turkic camp alone, he stopped talking.

Even if Li Jiancheng persistently praised him for his bravery, he didn't have much reaction.

Su Dingfang was overwhelmed with gratitude for Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm, and with a trembling mouth, he told Li Jiancheng vividly about the process of beheading Liu Heitai.

Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Su Dingfang's attitude. Not only did he praise Su Dingfang as the bravest of bravery, but he also gave Su Dingfang a piece of jade around his waist.

Su Dingfang happily accepted it.

"Yuanji, your people are going to be kidnapped."

Li Shentong didn't know when he appeared next to Li Yuanji, and said with his mouth curled up.

As a member of Li Yuanji, Su Dingfang showed so much enthusiasm for Li Jiancheng, and even accepted Li Jiancheng's things. From Li Shentong's point of view, it was because of his lack of willpower.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shentong, and said with a calm smile, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, you can't keep those who should go, and you can't leave those who should be kept."

Li Yuanji knew Su Dingfang well. Su Dingfang was not the kind of person who clings to power and is not firm in his will.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to follow Gao Yaxian to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, let alone live in seclusion for many years after Gao Yaxian died.

With his ability, the sooner he pledges allegiance to Datang, the more power and wealth he can gain.

It can be seen that he is not a person who is greedy for power and love for money.

Li Yuanji saw it very clearly. Su Dingfang obviously saw that Li Jiancheng was being taken advantage of, so he took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Boldness is a bit bolder, but it kills two birds with one stone.

Su Dingfang not only reaped benefits through this move, but also showed all the officials in Datang that he is not a difficult person to get along with.

After he settles down in Chang'an City, he will be able to quickly integrate into the elite circle in Chang'an City.

When the rich and powerful make friends, they are not afraid of those who are greedy for money, nor those who are lustful, nor those who love power, but those who are noble.

Because most noble people are not easy to get along with, if you want to make friends with them, you will often stick to their cold ass with a hot face.

Even if you spend a lot of effort and make friends with people, when they should impeach you, they will still impeach you.

If you are in trouble, if you ask others for help, there is a high probability that they will not help you.

"You really have a big heart..."

Li Shentong sighed.

Li Daozong also came over at some point, and said in a low voice: "I don't think Yuan Ji is big-hearted, but has a well-thought-out plan. I'm afraid the crown prince's jade pendant was given away for nothing."

With Li Shentong in charge, Li Shentong chatted with Li Yuanji in a homely way, so Li Daozong called Li Yuanji by his name as his brother.

"Oh?"

Li Shentong looked at Li Daozong in surprise, "How did you see this?"

Li Daozong glanced at Li Yuanji, seeing that Li Yuanji did not stop him, he slowly said: "Although I don't know Su Dingfang well, I have heard people say that Su Dingfang is very filial to Gao Yaxian.

Gao Yaxian is holding it firmly in Yuan Ji's hand, it is impossible for Su Dingfang to leave Yuan Ji. "

Li Shentong was stunned, "So that's how it is."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong, then at Li Daozong, feeling something was wrong.

How does it feel, he is now in the same party as Li Shentong and Li Daozong.

Li Shentong and Li Daozong didn't speak to Li Jiancheng, who had great righteousness, nor did they speak to Li Shimin, who was the most powerful. Instead, they kept talking to him, thinking of him.

Although Li Xiuning had communicated with Li Shentong in private.

But it's not enough for Li Shentong and Li Daozong to turn to him immediately.

Li Yuanji stared suspiciously at Li Shentong and Li Daozong.

Li Shentong coughed twice with some guilt, and said awkwardly: "I have two favorite generals under my command, and they were seriously injured in Shizhou this time, so they won't be able to go to the battlefield in the future.

I heard that there are many vacancies for the chief officer, governor, and hussars of Hebei Road..."

Li Daozong also nodded vigorously from the side, saying: "I also have someone under my command..."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, and said strangely: "Why do you think that I can decide to get the positions of chief officer, governor, and hussar of Hebei Road?"

Li Shentong laughed and looked up at the sky.

Li Daozong also looked left and right.

Li Yuanji glanced at the two of them thoughtfully.

Li Yuan hadn't decreed that he was going to be the minister of Daxingtai of Hebei Province, and he was not sure whether Li Yuan would happily give him the position of minister of Daxingtai of Hebei Province.

But Li Shentong and Li Daozong have obviously begun to regard him as the official secretary of Daxingtai in Hebei Province.

Only the Daxingtai Shangshu Order of Hebei Dao can influence Li Yuan's appointment of the general manager, governor, and hussars of Hebei Dao.

"Did you get any news? Why didn't I hear any news?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Shentong and Li Daozong suspiciously.

Li Shentong and Li Daozong just laughed and didn't speak.

"If you don't give me an accurate word, I can't help you. After all, the affairs of Hebei Road are now under the control of my second brother, and I can't get involved."

Li Yuanji saw that Li Shentong and Li Daozong refused to reveal their tone, so he could only threaten.

The smile on Li Shentong's face froze, and he said with a dry smile: "We also heard a little rumor from the eunuch who accompanied Pei Ji to announce the decree.

The will of the saint has not come down yet, and we can't let the wind turn into rain, so don't make things difficult for us. "

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly grinned, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you, I will think about what you entrusted."

Li Shentong nodded to Li Yuanji in satisfaction, and Li Daozong cupped his hands at Li Yuanji with a grateful face.

Then the two of them left in a hurry without staying by Li Yuanji's side.

As soon as the two left, the smile on Li Yuanji's face disappeared immediately.

Some of Shit's subordinates were injured and couldn't go to the battlefield, so they went to Hebei Road to serve as the general manager, governor, and hussar.

It was obvious that Li Yuan had learned some lessons from Li Shimin, fearing that he would become the second Li Shimin after taking charge of Hebei Road.

So I want to add some sand to Hebei Road before the decree is announced.

Li Yuan himself had no face to do such a thing, so he invited Li Shentong and Li Daozong to help.

Otherwise, Li Shentong and Li Daozong would not find him even if they wanted to install their own people in the place.

Li Shentong and Li Daozong are crazy, looking for Li Yuan's own son to help them place people in the place?

If Li Yuan knew about it, how would he treat them?

From the very beginning, Li Yuanji felt that Li Shentong and Li Daozong came to him suddenly, which was a bit abrupt, and Li Shentong and Li Daozong were too eager and too toward him.

Now I finally understand why it is abrupt and why it is eager.

Because from the very beginning, Li Shentong and Li Daozong were not really working for their own welfare.

So the performance is naturally abrupt.

In order to act like a bit, that's why I was too eager.

Li Shentong and Li Daozong obviously did not take the errand assigned by Li Yuan as a serious errand, so they did it quite perfunctorily and full of loopholes.

Li Yuanji could roughly guess that the reason why Li Shentong and Li Daozong did this was because they didn't want to be caught between their father and son, because they were not human inside and out.

However, Li Shentong and Li Daozong did this, but told him one thing.

That is the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province that he has been thinking about, and it should be settled.

He thought there were some variables before.

"Xuan..."

Just when Li Yuanji rushed to rejoice that he was about to get the post of Daxingtai Shangshuling in Hebei Province, Li Jiancheng had already "consoled" all the generals and schools who had made great achievements during the Eastern Expedition, and returned to his guard of honor .

The accompanying eunuch beside Li Jiancheng shouted.

A group of civil and military personnel, as well as a group of soldiers, all bowed down.

Li Jiancheng picked up an imperial decree and began to read it with a smile on his face.

It is an imperial decree about rewarding Li Shimin for his contributions to the Eastern Expedition.

The general meaning is to expand the area under Li Shimin's jurisdiction, and put the capital of Ji Province under Li Shimin's jurisdiction.

For Li Shimin, this is indeed a generous reward.

After all, the area that Li Shimin can now govern is already very large, and if the capital is included in Li Shimin's jurisdiction, Li Shimin's influence on the local area will be expanded again, and his power will be increased.

However, when Li Shimin received the decree, he didn't have much joy on his face.

The richer Li Yuan rewarded him, the more it meant that Li Yuan would not fulfill his promise and hand over the crown prince to him.

Although Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan would break his promise, he was still unhappy when the matter came to an end.

"Xuan..."

The accompanying eunuchs beside Li Jiancheng yelled again after Li Shimin received the decree.

Li Jiancheng took out another imperial edict and signaled Li Yuanji to come forward.

Li Yuanji walked up to Li Jiancheng, bent down, and Li Jiancheng read out the will.

The content of the decree is very simple. Li Yuanji changed the Daxingtai Shangshuling of Xiangnan Road to Daxingtai Shangshuling of Hebei Road.

Then it's gone.

Because of Li Yuanji's previous rebellion against the decree, his rewards such as adding household titles and adding Zhenyao generals are all gone.

However, Li Yuanji didn't care about it.

The only thing he misses most is the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province. He has already got it, so he is satisfied.

When Li Shimin heard that Li Yuanji was appointed as Minister of Daxingtai, Hebei Province, his face changed obviously, and the faces of other Qin Palace followers also changed.
