Man Tanghong

Chapter 328 Praise the Emperor

"The reason why your father didn't tell the world about this matter, but first released it to spread it in a small area in Chang'an City, is to test the attitude of our clan and foreign relatives.

None of us objected, and your father wouldn't care if the others objected. "

Li Xiaogong said in a moody way.

Regarding Li Yuan's move, he didn't have any opinion, and he didn't want to have any opinion.

Anyway, his power has already been handed over, no matter how much Li Yuan tosses, it has nothing to do with him.

"Having said that, isn't the time a bit wrong?"

Xie Shufang pretended to be dumb for a long time. Seeing that Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shentong were about to lose interest in this topic, he hurriedly interjected.

The eyes of Li Yuanji and the others all fell on Xie Shufang.

Xie Shufang opened his mouth, and said with embarrassment: "Did I... say something wrong?"

Li Shentong patted Xie Shufang on the shoulder with hatred, and complained, "How can I have such a stupid son-in-law as you?"

Xie Shufang looked at Li Shentong in astonishment.

Li Shentong glared at Xie Shufang, and said angrily, "What's wrong? What's wrong? If someone can't bear the loneliness and jumps out, making some noise, will you have a chance to go to war?"

Xie Shufang stared at Li Shentong.

Li Shentong pointed to Li Yuanji, and then to Li Xiaogong, "Everyone of these guys knew that the time chosen by the saint was wrong, but why didn't anyone stand up and write a letter to the saint?
It's because these guys are waiting for those idiots who don't know what's good or bad to jump out.

As long as those idiots jump out, these guys can lead the army.

At that time, a lot of military achievements will come.

Getting promoted, getting rich, and being promoted to nobility are not easy things. "

Xie Shufang opened his mouth, really not knowing what to say.

Everyone who dared to see that the time Li Yuan chose was wrong, but no one said it out loud.

The purpose is to wait for someone who refuses to accept Li Yuan to jump out, and then run over to earn his military exploits?

For such a big matter, how can you pretend to be deaf and dumb just because you want to make military achievements?

Li Shentong saw that his son-in-law understood the meaning of his words, but he hadn't comprehended the deep meaning, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You are no longer someone's marriage, so you can't be so upright anymore.

When you think for the court, you should also think for yourself.

Right now, within my Great Tang, the world is peaceful, and all enemies who can be called my opponents have been wiped out by my Great Tang.

It will not be so easy to make military achievements in the future.

So while the foundation of my Tang Dynasty has not been completely stabilized, the military merits that can be obtained must be obtained, otherwise there will be no chance in the future. "

Xie Shufang felt that Li Shentong's words violated his principles of life.

If it was Su Dingfang, he would definitely understand Li Shentong's words and digest them quickly.

But he just couldn't understand it, and he resisted and didn't want to digest it.

Seeing that Xie Shufang was not enlightened, Li Shentong shouted with beard and hair all stretched out: "You don't want your son and Huaide's son to inherit only one prince in the future, do you?"

Xie Shufang stared in astonishment.

Not that exaggerated, is it?

Seeing that Xie Shufang didn't believe it, Li Shentong stared and said: "Can you guarantee that you will not make mistakes in your life, can you guarantee that Huaide and your future son will not make mistakes?

If you don’t get more credit now, if you make a mistake in the future, what will you do to save your life?
Your title?
How many serious crimes are you entitled to? "

Xie Shufang stared blankly at Li Shentong and fell into complete silence.

Li Yuanji really wanted to say to Li Shentong that without shame, merit is merit, and faults are faults, and they cannot be compared.

But he didn't say it.

Because he knows very well that if he dares to say what he thinks is right, he will definitely be called absurd by Li Shentong, and will definitely be despised by Li Xiaogong.

After all, this is a humane society where the emperor is respected.

There are countless things that have lost justice and fairness in this society.

What many people in later generations consider to be the truth is likely to be a myth in this society.

Li Shentong taught Xie Shufang a good lesson with his own experience and lessons.

It can be seen that Li Shentong still has high hopes for Xie Shufang's son-in-law.

"Uncle Wang is trying to train Shufang to be like you?"

Li Yuanji asked with a smile.

Li Shentong rolled his eyes and said nothing.

The field of power is not a good place, it can eat people.

Xie Shufang is such an upright person, if he doesn't learn to be more tactful, he will die miserably.

Li Yuanji was not interested in interfering with Li Shentong's education of his son-in-law, so he looked at Li Xiaogong and asked with a smile, "I heard that there was an affair in Chang'an City recently?"

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Li Yuanji was talking about.

He also understood Li Yuanji's purpose in calling him to Jiulongtan Mountain.

Li Shentong also became a little interested when he heard the word "amorous affairs".

Li Xiaogong couldn't help but said: "You're talking about the history of Sima soldiers in Tiance Mansion, right?"

Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, just about to speak.

Li Shentong coughed dryly twice, and said: "I know this. It is said that this guy surnamed Sima is getting old and can't satisfy his beautiful concubine. Steward.

He also secretly told the steward some of the secrets he had shared under the bed, and then the steward spread the word.

Now the Sima family has been arrested, and there is not even a dog left. "

Li Xiaogong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is widely rumored in Chang'an City that concubinage must be done according to one's ability. If the health is not good enough to satisfy the concubine's desire, then it is better not to accept it.

Otherwise, not only would you have to help others raise their son, but your own family might also have to join in. "

When it came to the end, Li Xiaogong laughed out loud.

It is not uncommon to be tricked by a concubine like this in Chang'an City, and similar things happen from time to time.

After all, in this day and age, men who are rich, powerful and have leisure can stick with each other, from fourteen or five years old, to eight or ninety years old. Get up and play.

The problem is that I spend too much time playing, and I don’t know how to cultivate myself. When I reach a certain age, I can’t do it anymore.

Some concubines who are still young and dissatisfied with their desires will naturally seek help from strong stewards, servants, and servants.

If you come and go, you will naturally be exposed.

Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many men with money, power and leisure, so naturally there are many such things.

Li Yuanji laughed for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that this soldier Cao joined the military history, and the reason why he was arrested is because he was involved in Yang Wengan's rebellion."

The smiles on the faces of Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong disappeared in an instant.

Li Xiaogong said nonchalantly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Shentong pondered and said: "It seems that you really don't know about some things."

Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Then you were playing tricks on me before."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "You came to me to inquire about the news before, and I told the truth, and I didn't play tricks on you."

Li Shentong looked contemptuous and did not believe Li Yuanji's words.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and continued: "I want to know why my elder brother's luck suddenly became so good."

Li Xiaogong was obviously taken aback.

Li Shentong also said in astonishment: "I thought you mentioned this because you wanted us to pick Du Yan out for you."

Li Yuanji smiled lightly: "You all know about Du Yan?"

Li Xiaogong pursed his lips and said: "Ling Jing from your house, undisguisedly ran to Du Yan's house several times. It's hard for us not to know."

Li Yuanji nodded and smiled, "I can't hide this from others, and I never thought of hiding it from others."

Anyway, Li Shimin didn't care about Du Yan.

Du Yan was recruited to the Qi Palace after being abandoned by Li Shimin.

It's not a prying corner, and it won't have any direct conflict with Li Shimin.

No need to be secretive.

"Yes, you and I should act in an open and aboveboard manner."

Li Shentong spoke outrightly and confidently.

Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk to Li Shentong.

That's not what you and your son-in-law said just now.

"Cousin, why do you think my eldest brother has become so lucky? Not only did he muddle through the difficulty of raising private soldiers, but now he is about to catch my second brother's handle?"

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.

Li Xiaogong said suspiciously: "Your second brother didn't clean up the finishing touches himself, and was caught by someone, what's so strange about that?"

Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "My second brother is not a vegetarian, and those people in my second brother's house are not vegetarian. They have never been disadvantaged by my elder brother before.

Now that you are at a disadvantage twice, don't you feel something is wrong? "

Before Li Xiaogong could speak, Li Yuanji added: "Also, my eldest brother has lost two confidantes in succession because of raising private soldiers this time.

My second brother only lost one Du Yan.

Logically speaking, my eldest brother's strength should have been weakened, and my second brother's strength has not changed at all.

My eldest brother met my second brother, so he shouldn't be my second brother's opponent.

But now, my second brother is at a disadvantage. "

Li Yuanji tried his best to understand what he said.

Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong looked at each other, and immediately understood what Li Yuanji meant.

Li Yuanji was telling them that although Li Jiancheng had lost two confidant advisers, he should have been supplemented, and the new advisers were more capable than Wang Gui and Xu Shimo.

Otherwise, Li Jiancheng couldn't be Li Shimin's opponent, let alone catch Li Shimin's handle.

Li Shentong said thoughtfully: "I remember that when Xiuning returned to the imperial court before, it seemed that Ren Gui also came back. Ren Gui was a capable minister sent to your eldest brother by your father himself, and there are still a few people under him who are not capable. vulgar character.

If he takes the place of Wang Gui or Xu Shimo, he should be able to help your elder brother save some of the situation. "

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "Just Ren Gui's words, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Li Yuanji had known Ren Gui before. He was really capable, and the people under him were also outstanding.

But Ren Gui and the people under Ren Gui's subordinates alone, it is impossible to suppress a group of outstanding people in Qin Palace.

Li Xiaogong seemed to have thought of something, suddenly looked at Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that Emperor Zan is back. Only he can help your elder brother reverse the current situation, and give your elder brother some upper hand. "
