Man Tanghong

Chapter 492
Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and said contemptuously: "You have time to worry about the mosquito's legs, why don't you help me find out how my second brother dealt with my elder brother's troubles. If the method is right, we can borrow one or two."

Ling Jing felt that Li Yuanji was a bit full, but he didn't know that he was hungry. However, thinking about Li Yuanji's family business, he felt relieved.

After all, Li Yuanji's family business is the only one in Datang, and it is also the largest in Datang.

Li Yuanji is qualified to regard money as dung, and he is also qualified to treat the Wanhuhou of the year as dung.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to emphasize the importance of money in front of Li Yuanji and let Li Yuanji go to make money.

Immediately, he didn't talk about this topic anymore, but bowed and said: "I understand, I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Li Yuanji nodded, indicating that Ling Jing could leave.

Ling Jing didn't stay any longer, and after getting up and saluting, he left Jiudao Palace.

A few days after Ling Jing left the Jiudao Palace, Li Jiancheng did a stupid thing that was exactly the same as in history, that is, he sent his confidants to visit Yuchi Mansion with a carload of gold, silver and jewels.

Then he was thrown out of Yuchi's mansion by Yuchi Gong and others, not only that, Yu Chi Gong also broke the leg of the gift giver, and informed Li Shimin about it.

After Li Shimin learned of this, he immediately rushed to Ganlu Hall to look for Li Yuan.

To put it bluntly, if Li Yuan is dissatisfied with the fact that he has a large army in his hands and a cloud of servants under his command, he can return all of these to Li Yuan, and from then on, he will not care about world affairs and become a wandering wild crane.

Li Yuan also wanted to use Li Shimin to achieve the purpose of making Li Jiancheng unhappy, so how could he agree to Li Shimin's request that was not sincere.

Immediately, Li Yuan comforted Li Shimin in a natural way, and then called Li Jiancheng to Ganlu Hall to reprimand him.

For a long time to come, as long as Li Jiancheng did something against Li Shimin, as long as Li Shimin sued Li Yuan, Li Yuan would take Li Jiancheng out and reprimand him without hesitation.

Li Jiancheng clearly felt the strong malice from his father, but he had no choice but to vent his resentment on Li Shimin, speeding up the speed of cutting off Li Shimin's wings.

Faced with Li Jiancheng's method, Li Shimin launched a set of show operations that stunned Li Yuanji.

That is, when Li Jiancheng transferred a group of people away, he transferred the former group back.

In terms of transferring officials, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have similar powers.

Only by relying on Li Jiancheng's status as the prince of Jian Guo and the support of his disciples, can Li Shimin's subordinates be unable to disobey his order and rush to serve in every remote corner of the Tang Dynasty according to his mind.

But Li Shimin can also use military needs as an excuse to transfer his people back, or transfer them to places where he needs his people.

In terms of military affairs, Li Shimin is the authority of Datang.

With a sufficiently dazzling record, he allowed himself to occupy absolute dominance in the military.

And the Tang Dynasty was an era that emphasized military affairs over culture. In many cases, military transfer orders were far greater than official transfer orders.

So when Li Shimin transferred people back under the pretext of military needs, Li Jiancheng had no way to stop him.

Because the transfer order does not need to be handed over to him for review, nor will it be handed over to Menxia Province for decision, Li Shimin can make a decision with one word.

This is the privilege granted to him by Li Yuan.

This is also the biggest privilege he has exchanged for his dazzling record.

For this reason, Li Jiancheng approached Li Yuan, hoping that Li Yuan could take back Li Shimin's power, but Li Yuan chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb in this matter.

In the end, the confrontation between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin turned into a long-lasting rally.

Li Jiancheng sent out a group, and Li Shimin called back a group, or simply transferred his subordinates to other places on the way to take office.

Ling Jing really didn't know what to say to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's behavior. He sat in the gazebo of the Jiudao Palace, blowing the cold wind, and said dumbfoundingly: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are like the rascals in the market. , just use this kind of method that can't get on the stage, and most importantly, they fight you and you, and they seem to be enjoying it."

Li Yuanji lay sideways on a dental mat, wearing a thin gauze, and said with emotion: "In fact, there is no distinction between elegant and vulgar methods, as long as they are effective.

For my eldest brother, this method is the most effective method to weaken my second brother and cut off his party feathers, and it is also the easiest method.

So as long as there is still an effect, he will not give up.

For my second brother, this method is also the most effective method to deal with my elder brother, so he will not give up until my elder brother gives up. "

Ling Jing was puzzled and said: "But they do this as if they are angry, and there is no benefit other than wasting time. Why do they still do this?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said with a smile: "You said you were angry. If one side doesn't admit defeat, how can the other side let it go. Besides, whoever told you that this kind of thing won't do them any good."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji took a secret letter with traces of wax paint from a short table not far away, handed it to Ling Jing, and said, "Look at this..."

Ling Jing took the secret letter, flipped through it quickly, and then said dumbfounded: "Is what said in the letter true? His Highness the Crown Prince once again secretly borrowed troops from His Highness King Yan, and the loan amounted to three thousand ?”

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "People came in from the pass of Ganzhou and have already arrived in Fuping. Now they are secretly stationed in Fuping. As long as my elder brother needs it, they will come to Chang'an City at any time."

Ling Jing said in astonishment: "You mean that His Royal Highness, in order to let these people enter the pass quietly, specially let them walk more than half a circle along the Great Wall, and then entered the pass from Ganzhou?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "That's true."

Ling Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a look of shock on his face: "His Royal Highness has spent a lot of money this time."

Beyond the Great Wall, it is now the territory of the Turks.

Li Jiancheng asked Li Yi's people to walk along the Great Wall, which is equivalent to letting Li Yi's people walk along the Turkic border.

The difficulties that need to be faced and the difficulties that need to be overcome are too many to imagine.

Under such circumstances, Li Jiancheng and Li Yineng must have paid a huge price for transporting people to Fuping.

Li Yuanji nodded his head and said with emotion: "It's true that you have spent a lot of money, but I don't know how my elder brother will feel after he knows that we already know that he has placed people in Fuping?"

Ling Jing put away the shock on his face, and said amusedly, "I'm afraid I'll vomit three liters of blood, right?"

Li Yuanji thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After all, Li Jiancheng paid a huge price to get people from Youzhou and resettled them in Fuping, just to deceive people.

Now that he was just settled in Fuping, he was discovered.

Then the price Li Jiancheng paid is equivalent to paying for nothing. Li Jiancheng knew it and could not vomit blood.

It's like spending a huge price to hide a piece of news, but it was discovered just after it was hidden. If the person involved knew the news, he would definitely vomit blood in anger.

"Since His Highness can get the news, then surely His Highness King Qin also got the news?"

Ling Jing questioned.

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

Li Shimin has more eyes and ears than his subordinates, so if he can get the news, Li Shimin must also get it.

Ling Jing said again: "Now it seems that His Highness the Prince's fight with His Highness King Qin's anger is more like trying to cover up his plan behind his back."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "My second brother is not idle, you can look at this again..."

With that said, Li Yuanji took another memorial and handed it to Ling Jing.

Ling Jing took the memorial, read it roughly, raised his head, and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness transferred those people who were transferred out to various parts of Shandong Road, and various ferries from Jiangnan to Jiangbei?"

Li Yuanji nodded his head and said, "If I expected it to be correct, he is checking for gaps in his own plan, and he is also cutting off the way for soldiers and horses from Jiangnan to Jiangbei."

Ling Jing carefully read the memorial in his hand again, and said: "His Royal Highness Qin has completely blocked the way for troops from Jiangnan to Jiangbei. If His Royal Highness wants to use troops in the future, he can only turn to His Royal Highness Yan, or you? "

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Not bad..."

Ling Jing put down the memorabilia in his hand, and sighed: "From this point of view, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is better."

Li Yuanji nodded again and said nothing.

Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji and said with emotion: "Unfortunately, we can't borrow His Highness King Qin's method, otherwise, Ren Gong would not be transferred back to Henan Road, and Kan Leng would not be transferred to Bingzhou."

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said: "The transfer of Ren Gui and Kan Leng from Chang'an is not a bad thing for us. Ren Gui's foundation is in Henan Province, and if he is transferred back to Henan Province, he can regain control of Henan Province authority.

Now the Dou family, the biggest dignitary in Henan Province, has been overwhelmed by my second brother and us.

My father did not appoint a governor for Henan Province, so Ren Gui will be in charge of Henan Province in the near future, which is extremely beneficial to us.

This means that after we have mastered the Hebei Road, we need to master one more.

This will increase our strength and our right to speak in the court.

Although Kan Ling is not familiar with Bingzhou, he was transferred to the post of Dinghu Gate Guard. He and my three sisters are on the left and right side of Bingzhou, guarding the gate of Bingzhou and affecting the whole territory of Bingzhou. The influence in Bingzhou during the period of the general manager was enough to deter the whole territory of Bingzhou.

If we need people outside Chang'an to help us, Bingzhou will also be a big help for us. "

Ling Jing smiled emotionally: "So, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be targeting His Highness King Qin and you, but actually fulfills His Highness King Qin and you?"
