Man Tanghong

Chapter 258 Left Prison Gate

Ling Jing smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Highness really has no plans."

Li Yuanji picked up the Ganzhou Jishu and read it twice before looking at Ling Jing with a smile: "I remember you are not a flatterer?"

Ling Jing cupped his fists respectfully, and said frankly: "I'm not flattering, I just feel from the bottom of my heart that Your Highness has no plans."

Li Yuanji smiled and said with emotion: "I'm not exhaustive, I just know more than others."

Ling Jing didn't know whether Li Yuanji's "knowing more than others" meant that he had more channels to obtain information, or he could judge other people's subsequent actions through the clues left by others, so he just smiled and didn't talk to him. .

Li Yuanji put down the Ganzhou emergency book, and smiled again: "Since my second brother sent someone to Ganzhou and had contact with Chang He, it means that the day when Chang He entered the court is not far away.

How is your arrangement? Is there any possibility of repeating Chang He? "

Although he has long concluded that Chang He will not repeat, it is absolutely impossible for him to pin his own safety on whether others will repeat.

So after Chang He agreed to do things for him, he ordered Ling Jing to make some arrangements.

Ling Jing said solemnly: "The people arranged by the minister have already mixed into Chang He's command, and with the help of money to open the way, they have been promoted to the position of brigade commander, and they have already gained some influence among the people under Chang He's command.

I also arranged for Chang He's younger brother to become an official in your fief.

Chang He should not dare to repeat. "

Li Yuanji pondered: "Chang He cares about his little brother?"

Ling Jing nodded and said: "Not only do you care, but you also love him. Mother Chang also cares about her youngest son very much."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's not safe to arrange him to be an official in my fief. Let him go to Hebei Road."

Ling Jing cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Li Yuanji warned: "After Chang He enters the court, you should stop contacting him, lest he be exposed. When we need him, you will go to him again."

Ling Jing said seriously: "I know the importance."

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "There should be news from Qingzhou, too?"

Li Shimin has a lot of people who can be used. If he has to support someone to be the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, he doesn't have to choose Chang He.

The reason why I found Chang He must be to use Chang He.

Combined with Li Jiancheng's small actions in Gyeongju, it is not difficult to analyze what Li Shimin is going to do with Chang He.

Either Li Shimin wanted to use Chang He to expose Li Jiancheng's petty actions in Gyeongju.

Either he wants to transfer Chang He away and send someone he can trust more to take Chang He's place and guard Gyeongju.

Once Gyeongju makes any moves, Li Shimin can easily handle it.

Although Li Shimin only contacted Chang He now, he didn't tell Chang He what Chang He needed to do.

But Li Shimin's mind, Li Yuanji has already guessed about it.

When Li Shimin looked for Chang He, there was an [-]% chance that it was the latter.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to waste his power for no reason and transfer away a person who has little relationship with him.

Therefore, Li Shimin is looking for Chang He now, and if he wants to transfer Chang He, it must be something that Qingzhou has done.

"I am about to report this matter to Your Highness. The people I sent to Gyeongju recently sent back news that Yang Wenqian was recruiting township bravery and expanding his army under the pretext that Gyeongju was short of soldiers and horses and could not cope with the western Turkic cavalry. Soldiers and horses."

Ling Jing reported seriously.

Li Yuanji chuckled, "Yang Wenqian's excuse is really lame. Now that the Western Turks are under the suppression of the Eastern Turks, they dare not show their faces at all.

An Xinggui led Ganzhou soldiers to patrol the border from time to time.

How could the rangers of the Western Turks appear in Gyeongju? "

Ling Jing said deceptively: "Yang Wenqian said there is, so there should be."

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, didn't say anything more on this issue, but ordered: "The soldiers in Qingzhou are limited, and there are not enough soldiers in Qingzhou, let alone the soldiers newly recruited by Yang Wengan.

So I guess, after Yang Wengan has recruited enough soldiers and horses, he will definitely find a way to help them get a suit of soldiers.

You let the people under your hand watch carefully, once Yang Wengan starts to plan the armor for the newly recruited soldiers, tell me immediately. "

Ling Jing bowed and said, "Here."

Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more.

Ling Jing didn't stay any longer, and after bowing, he exited the main room of the jingshe.

After Ling Jing left, Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled.

Li Jiancheng was also unlucky enough, he finally got some blood, and wanted to recruit soldiers and horses to do a big job, but the confidant he sent out was an insider.

The inner thief probably sold him out before he left Chang'an.

In his eyes, everything he did was still secret and exciting.

In Li Shimin's eyes, there is no secret at all in everything he does.

Before Li Shimin waited for the people he had arranged to become successful, he had already started to make arrangements.

He was destined to be plotted to death by Li Shimin.

The rest depends on how much he loses.

……

Two days later.

By the side of the waterfall pool on the halfway up the Jiulongtan Mountain.

Yu Wenbao held a horizontal knife in his hand, chopping and slashing vigorously.

Li Yuanji was dressed in an autumn shirt, and accompanied Li Xiaogong, who was wearing a black robe, sitting in the grass hut, holding a hot kettle in one hand, and holding the tea bowl in front of Li Xiaogong with the other, and made a bowl of red dates and barley tea for Li Xiaogong.

The tea was brought by Li Xiaogong, and the tea recipe was prescribed by Sun Simiao.

The main effect is to help Li Xiaogong get rid of the moisture in the body.

Li Yuanji didn't have much interest in this kind of herbal tea. He preferred to drink fried tea, but the method of frying tea had been taught to the people in the house for a long time, and the people in the house didn't make fried tea.

So Li Yuanji had to dry Qiuju to make tea.

"Whoosh..."

Li Yuanji picked up the hot teacup and blew in small mouthfuls.

Li Xiaogong sweetened a spoonful of cold wine in his teacup with the bamboo spoon used to present the wine, picked up the teacup and gulped it down.

Li Yuanji looked at the corners of his mouth twitching.

If Sun Simiao knew that Li Xiaogong used his tea recipe in such a way, he would probably blow his beard and stare angrily.

"Boom..."

After Li Xiaogong finished drinking the tea, he knocked the teacup on the low table, humming and said: "There is nothing to be courteous to, either adultery or robbery."

Li Yuanji put down the teacup, "I didn't show courtesy either."

Li Xiaogong took the wine jar beside him, took a sip, and said contemptuously: "Since I knew you until now, you have never poured tea for anyone."

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, "Isn't that because my tea art is not proficient enough?"

Li Xiaogong snorted and ignored Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji pondered and said, "What do you think of Marquis Pingcheng's sword skills?"

Li Xiaogong put down the wine jar, picked up a piece of cold venison on the low table, cut and ate it with a knife, and looked at Li Yuanji contemptuously.

Li Yuanji sighed, "Okay, okay, I admit, I really have a plan for inviting you here this time."

Li Xiaogong said with contempt: "What I hate the most is you people who have something to say but don't say it well, and insist on putting on airs."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong, and said quietly: "When you came back to Beijing this time, when you saw me for the first time, you could pretend more than I could."

The expression on Li Xiaogong's face changed, and he gave Li Yuanji a fierce look.

Li Yuanji simply picked which pot he didn't open.

At that time, he was in a state of confusion. He didn't know whether Li Yuanji was an enemy or a friend, so he naturally had to put on a show to test it out.

But now Li Yuanji used it as a handle to fight back against him.

"Do you still want to ask me?"

Li Xiaogong asked with staring eyes.

Li Yuanji picked up the teacup and questioned, "How does my cousin know, I have something to ask you."

Li Xiaogong glanced at Yu Wenbao who was wielding a knife by the waterfall with disdain, and said angrily: "You let that idiot wield a knife and a gun by the edge of the pool for an hour.

What do you think, do you even have to guess? "

Li Yuanji praised: "My cousin is really smart."

Li Xiaogong said viciously: "Stop flattering me, didn't someone tell you that when you flatter others, you look very hypocritical?"

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong cursed again: "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, don't give me those stupid things."

Li Yuanji was very embarrassed, and said: "What do you think of Marquis Pingcheng's martial arts, can you be a prison general under your hands?"

Ever since Li Xiaogong complied with Li Yuan's thoughts and resigned from the positions of chief executive of Jingzhou, as well as the positions of Jizhi Yi, Jiao and Yang states, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Xiaogong changed immediately.

From before, I didn't care, didn't ask, and didn't respond, but now I care, ask, and respond.

Every morning and evening, someone would be sent to give food to Li Xiaogong.

From time to time, he would call Li Xiaogong to the palace, and accompany him to enjoy singing and dancing, and when he saw the rise, he would keep stuffing women in Li Xiaogong's mansion.

In just a few days, Li Yuan has given Li Xiaogong eighteen maidservants, three musicians, four servants, two Huangzhuang, a horse farm, and thousands of servants serving the tenants of the Huangzhuang and the horse farm. people.

Not only that, Li Yuan promoted Li Xiaogong as the king of Hejian County this morning, plus more than 1000 households were closed, [-] servants, and six sword classes. The door goes up and down.

Unlike Li Yi, Qiu He and others who also served as the generals of the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions, Li Xiaogong had real power.

In his hand is half of the soldier talisman of the Left Prison Gate bestowed by Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji intends to arrange for people to enter the twelve guards and seek important positions, but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity.

After learning that Li Xiaogong had become a powerful figure in the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions, he turned his mind on Li Xiaogong.

Li Yuanji originally planned to make Yu Wenbao the guard of Tongguan, but after Yu Wenbao burned the fertile fields outside Chang'an City, his impression in Li Yuan's heart was greatly reduced.

Even if Li Yuanji tries to get a chance for Yu Wenbao, Li Yuan will not appoint Yu Wenbao.

So Li Yuanji was going to let Yuwenbao go to the left prison gate first to mix up his qualifications, and after Li Yuan's impression of Yuwenbao gained, he would help Yuwenbao seek the post of Tongguan guard.
