Man Tanghong

Chapter 321 The Good News From Li Xiaogong

Yu Wenbao was like a bandit bully crossing the border, he rushed to the courtyard with a group of people, and then returned to the gazebo to report.

Li Yuanji didn't have the heart to chat with this fool, so he told him to leave immediately.

Yu Wenbao obediently left Jiulongtan Mountain with people cheering.

At noon, Li Yuanji went back to the main room of the jingshe for dinner. When he passed the courtyard, he saw Lu Shanggong of the Shang Gongsi, leading a group of maidservants and eunuchs, rubbing the little pandas brought by Yu Wenbao. screaming.

Seeing the little pandas being ravaged in the bathtub by the servants and eunuchs, the four little ones of Li Chengqian felt very distressed.

Li Chengye tightly wrapped his arms around the neck of the little panda Huhu, nervous for the other little pandas.

The little panda Huhu sticks out half of its tongue, vigorously kicks its two hind legs, and keeps shaking its long, fluffy and soft tail.

Li Yuanji just twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything.

Because when the four little guys saw him, they kept avoiding him as if they had seen a ghost, and kept making funny faces at him.

"I'm just too kind to you!"

Li Yuanji deeply self-examined.

But Li Chengqian's four little fellows couldn't understand Li Yuanji's mood. They just wanted to rescue those little pandas who had fallen into the hands of maidservants and eunuchs.

After returning to the main room, having a simple meal, Li Yuanji rushed to the pavilion again after telling the female officer of the Shangshi Department to deliver the dinner to the pavilion in the evening.

In this way, Li Yuanji lived a regular life of exercising in the morning, reading at noon, and reviewing documents in the afternoon for five days.

One evening five days later.

Li Xiaogong was wrapped in fur, with two cotton tubes that looked like knee pads on his legs, and carrying a pool of sanle pulp, he appeared in the gazebo unsteadily.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Li Xiaogong unceremoniously sat down in front of the stone table, moved a little closer to the brazier, stretched his legs lazily, and hummed twice comfortably.

Li Yuanji put down the documents that Li Jingzuo brought up about the rebuilding of the Hushi mansions in Hebei Province, glanced at Li Xiaogong, ordered the eunuchs outside the pavilion to prepare some food and drink, then looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Are you done?"

Li Xiaogong squinted his eyes and said 'hmm'.

Ever since Li Yuan was assassinated at Xianchunmen, Li Xiaogong became completely busy. First, when Li Yuan blocked the Taiji Palace, he supervised state affairs with Li Shentong and Pei Ji.

After the Taiji Palace was unsealed, he carefully sorted out all the generals and schools in Zuojianmen Mansion.

Li Yuan was assassinated at Xianchun Gate this time, but he was assassinated by the people from the Jianmen Mansion. Logically speaking, the generals who left and right the Jianmen Mansion must bear certain responsibilities.

But Li Yuan did not hold them accountable.

Naturally, they had to do something to show Li Yuan their attitude, and to assure Li Yuan that this kind of thing would never happen again.

Carefully sorting out all the generals and schools in the prison gate mansion is undoubtedly the most intuitive way to express their position.

"How many people with problems have you found?"

Li Yuanji asked casually.

Li Xiaogong was silent for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, "There are not a few..."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, "Impossible?"

How long has it been since Li Tang established the country, and how long has it been since the elites from all over the country entered the left and right prison gates, and they have become corrupt so quickly?
This corruption is a bit too fast, right?
Li Xiaogong took a meaningful look at Li Yuanji, "Nothing is impossible. Your elder brother and your second elder brother placed a lot of bets in order to win over the generals in the prison gate mansion. Few people can resist the temptation they throw out.

Especially the second brother Ni, I was shocked when I saw the heavy bets. "

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Isn't it?"

Li Xiaogong can be regarded as a person who has seen big scenes, and he is among the county kings, and he is also a member of the royal family. Even if Li Shimin allows one or two princes to go out, he will not be shocked.

Li Xiaogong pursed his lips, and snorted coldly: "Just for the Left Prison Mansion, your second elder brother promised a state duke, two county dukes, and [-] hectares of fertile land, not to mention the Right Prison Mansion, and the left and right There are twelve remaining guards in Beishenfu."

Li Yuanji took a slight breath of air.

Now it's just a Zuojianmen mansion, even if Li Shimin's bet is a bit heavier, it's nothing.

But if you count the other three houses and twelve guards, Li Shimin's bet is a bit exaggerated.

No wonder Lee Hyo-gong said 'I was shocked when I saw it'.

Li Yuanji was also shocked when he heard this.

At least, before that, he didn't have such courage.

After all, whether it is the Duke of the State or the Duke of the County, they are not Chinese cabbage.

In this period when no other surname was named king except Li, the Duke of the State was a kind of ceiling for titles.

And only the emperor can give it.

Li Shimin hasn't become an emperor yet, not even a crown prince, just looking at Xu's heavy bet, it can be seen how courageous and courageous he is

"Your elder brother's big bet is not as good as your second brother's, but he doesn't give in too much."

Li Xiaogong hummed and added, his words were full of dissatisfaction.

It's like seeing two prodigal sons, one competing with the other to go out.

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "So, my eldest brother may have gone out a lot of high-ranking nobles?"

Li Xiaogong nodded, and said: "From this point of view, you are the only clean one among the three of you brothers. At least so far, I haven't found anyone with you in the Zuojianmen mansion, let alone What promise do you make to the generals in Zuojianmen's residence?"

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong dumbfounded and said: "I want to imitate my elder brother and my second elder brother in making heavy bets in the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions, but the high-ranking officials and nobles I promise must be trusted."

Li Xiaogong was obviously stunned for a moment, then clicked his lips and said with emotion: "That's true."

Li Jiancheng is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He has the qualifications to promise high officials and honors to other people; He also has this qualification to promise high officials and honors to others.

Li Yuanji wasn't strong enough, nor ambitious enough, and he didn't shake Li Jiancheng's foundation, and he didn't even have the attitude to compete with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. He didn't have the qualifications to promise high officials and titles to others.

It's not that he can't do it, but even if he can do it, no one will believe him if he tells it.

After all, this kind of promise will not be fulfilled until a long time later.

There is no hope in Li Yuanji that others can see.

"Is that why you came here to tell me?"

After Li Xiaogong sighed, Li Yuanji also asked with emotion.

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanji with contempt and said: "I came to despise you. It is also a direct descendant, how can he be so successful, and how can you be so bad."

Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "Then you can go!"

"do not!"

Li Xiaogong suddenly sat up, smiled and said: "I came here mainly because I have some good news to tell you."

Li Yuanji stared at Li Xiaogong suspiciously, and didn't say anything, fearing that Li Xiaogong would despise him again.

Li Xiaogong winked and said: "The position you want will be available soon."

Li Yuanji asked, "How?"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "When the person from the right prison gate and I sorted out the left and right prison gates, we cleared out a lot of positions. Your elder brother and your second brother recommended many people to go up, and your father None of them are useless, instead, the three brothers Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and Xie Shufang from your house were appointed to take up these positions."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, but was not surprised.

This was when he was in the palace before, the trick he set for Li Yuan worked, but the quantity was a little bit beyond his expectation.

He originally wanted three people from the house to enter the palace, but Li Yuan used four.

However, it doesn't matter.

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't have much reaction on his face, Li Xiaogong was a little unhappy.

He felt that Li Yuanji should be happy, should be cheered up.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, and said in a neutral tone: "There's nothing to be happy about. If I'm not wrong, the positions my father gave to Xie Shufang's four people are definitely not the ones I want."

Li Xiaogong stared and said: "This kind of thing can't be rushed. As long as they enter the palace to report their duties, they will be transferred to the positions you want sooner or later."

Li Yuanji nodded.

That's what he thought.

This kind of thing really can't be done in one step, it must be done gradually.

Li Xiaogong approached Li Yuanji again and said, "Although you are not very satisfied with the positions of the four Xie Shufang, you will definitely be satisfied with the position of one person."

"Ok?"

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong laughed again, the smile was still bright and full of pride, "On my recommendation, your father has agreed to let Yu Wenbao be the guard of Hangu Pass."

Speaking of this, I add another sentence, "Although the position of the guard of Hangu Pass is not as important as that of the guard of Tongguan, it is not as high as the official position of the guard of Tongguan.

But with Yu Wenbao's current rank, he can only serve as a deputy when he goes to Tongguan, but he can serve as the chief general when he goes to Hanguguan.

For Yuwenbao, going to Hangu Pass is far more beneficial than going to Tongguan. "

Li Yuanji also laughed, "I'm really satisfied with this."

The main purpose of letting Yu Wenbao go to Tongguan is to prevent Li Shimin from jumping over the wall in a hurry and leading soldiers from Eastern Shaanxi Road to enter Chang'an.

Letting Yu Wenbao go to Hangu Pass can also achieve the same purpose.

So it doesn't matter whether Yuwenbao goes to Tongguan or Hanguguan, it's all the same.

Moreover, what Li Xiaogong said was correct, with Yu Wenbao's current rank, he went to such a very eye-catching pass as Tongguan, so he could only act as a deputy for others, and it would look very eye-catching.

Going to Hangu Pass is different.

Under the background of Tongguan, Hangu Pass is not so important and not so eye-catching.After Yu Wenbao left, he could not only act as the leader and control the entire Hangu Pass, but also properly hide himself so that he would not look so conspicuous.
