Man Tanghong

"Call him in!"

"..."

"Chen Lingjing sees Your Highness!"

Ling Jing entered the hall and bowed with excitement.

On the way here, he had already understood what happened in the palace, and knew that most of the power of the Tang Dynasty had fallen to his highness, and his status would soon rise with the tide, so how could he not be excited.

It's just that he looks a little embarrassed, his hair is a little messy, and his clothes are a little tattered.

"Why don't you change your clothes and come back?"

Seeing Ling Jing's slightly embarrassed look, Li Yuanji frowned and asked.

Ling Jing hurriedly said: "I was busy cleaning up the mess in Jiulongtan Mountain. After hearing His Highness's summons, I came here without stopping, and I didn't have time to go back to the house to change clothes."

This is understandable.

Li Yuanji didn't chase after 'Yelling, Fighting, and Killing', but asked with rare concern: "How about the princess, Chengye, Ling'er, Xu'er, and Mrs. Wang?"

Ling Jing looked serious, cupped his hands and said: "General Arima will protect you to the death, the princess, the several highnesses, and Mrs. Wang have not suffered any injuries."

Speaking of this, Ling Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said with an ugly expression: "But General Ma's situation is not very good, and he is not out of danger so far."

Li Yuanji frowned again.

Li Xiuning stood up abruptly, and asked anxiously, "Ma San is injured, is he still out of danger?"

Ling Jing nodded solemnly.

Li Xiuning hurriedly shouted: "Where is the person, quickly take me to see."

Li Yuanji got up slowly, stopped Li Xiuning who was anxiously about to leave Guanyun Hall, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, please be safe, you should have been sent to Chang'an Xinglu, there are all the people in Chang'an Xinglu General Ma should be fine with the diagnosis and treatment by expert Xinglin."

"You also said that it should be safe and sound. I have to go and see."

Li Xiuning didn't care about Li Yuanji's obstruction at all. After saying this, he left Guanyun Palace without looking back.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji hurriedly sent someone to follow.

After Li Xiuning left, Ling Jing smiled wryly and said, "His Royal Highness is too impatient..."

Li Yuanji gave Ling Jing a blank look, and said angrily, "It's not that my elder sister is too impatient, but that she doesn't care about many people, and Ma Sanbao is one of them."

If it was Chai Shao who was not out of danger, Li Xiuning would not be in such a hurry at all, she would have a leisurely cup of tea here before leaving.

In Li Xiuning's heart, her father, brother, and son are what she cares most about.

The second is her loyal servants such as Ma Sanbao, He Fanren, and Xiang Shanzhi.

It was Chai Shao again.

Ling Jing said with sincere emotion: "General Ma is definitely lucky to meet such a wise master."

Li Yuanji rolled Ling Jing's eyes again and said, "From what you said, I'm not the master of the Ming Dynasty?"

Ling Jing hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "That's definitely not the case!"

"Um?!"

Li Yuanji raised his brows, and said in a bad tone: "No?"

Ling Jing immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his words: "What I mean is that Your Highness is definitely a wise master, even wiser than His Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Yuanji snorted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Stop flattering me, I asked you to come here because I have something important to do."

Ling Jing bowed without hesitation and said, "Please give orders, Your Highness!"

Li Yuanji sighed: "I don't need to tell you what happened in the palace, you should know about it, right?"

Ling Jing nodded.

Li Yuanji continued: "I need you to convince the officials in my eldest brother Zhan Shi's mansion to submit to me."

Ling Jing questioned: "What if they don't follow?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, and said coldly: "What should I do, do you still need me to teach you?"

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish!

You can't be merciful at a time like this.

Once a group of officials loyal to Li Jiancheng are connected together to form an alliance, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

Now that Datang is about to fall into the most serious internal and external troubles, Li Yuanji doesn't want to create another opponent for himself because of his soft-heartedness.

Ling Jing hesitated and said: "But among the officials in Zhan Shifu, there are many capable ones. If they are not willing to submit to you, if they are cleaned up, it will be a big loss to Datang and you."

Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "You won't lock up those who can be used for your own use first, and then release them after all the dust has settled, and then slowly persuade them."

Ling Jing roughly understood where the scale he had to master was, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I know what to do, I will do it right away."

Li Yuanji waved his hand to signal Ling Jing to leave quickly.

This guy is good at everything, but he is a little too cautious, he has to ask everything clearly, and he has to ask everything clearly.

There is no such thing as him knowing what he wants to do with just one look, one word, or doing nothing or saying anything, and doing what he wants to do properly according to his mind Is it your courtier? !

Didn't it mean that the heroes of the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties were all such people?
Why didn't he come across any of them?
Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou and other famous ministers who are famous in history have to ask for advice three times when doing things.

No one has helped the lord to do what the lord thinks properly without the lord not opening his mouth.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou and others have this ability, but they just put it away after staying in the court for a long time.

After all, what the court pays attention to is "do more and make more mistakes, don't do it well, do less and make less mistakes", after asking for instructions, you will definitely be rewarded, and even if you lose, you will be punished very much. Small.

But after doing something without asking for instructions, there may not be rewards, and if you lose, the punishment will be severe.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to make their own claims?

Do you think your official rank is too high?
"Your Highness, the sage ordered the minister to wait until your presence."

Not long after Ling Jing left, four old ministers, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Pei Ju, and Li Gang, appeared in Guanyun Hall.

The four veteran ministers didn't have much expression on their faces, so it was difficult to guess their inner thoughts.

Li Yuanji didn't expect to know what the four veterans thought of him after he came to power so easily.

After the four veterans saluted him, Li Yuanji said with a surprised face: "My father is willing to send the four of you to listen to me?"

What does this mean?
It means that Li Yuan said that he wanted to test him, but he said that he didn't care about everything about Datang.

In fact, he was still worried about him and Datang, so he sent these four capable confidants to assist him.

This is definitely good news for him.

This means that he no longer needs to carry everything about Datang on his shoulders alone.

This also means that Li Yuan will help him share part of the pressure from various aspects of Datang in the future.

He had to admit that Li Yuan was indeed a good papa with a hard mouth and a soft heart.

It would be even better if Li Yuan could ride on Li Shimin's head, stare at Li Shimin, press Li Shimin tightly, and let Li Shimin do coolie for him.

The four of Chen Shuda didn't know what Li Yuanji was thinking.

After hearing Li Yuanji's words, Chen Shuda cupped his hands expressionlessly and said, "I dare not disobey the order of the sage."

Xiao Yu also cupped his hands expressionlessly and said: "The errands that His Highness entrusted to the ministers, the ministers have already explained. If there is anything Your Highness needs the ministers to do, just ask."

Pei Ju and Li Gang didn't speak, and their gazes were complicated.

Obviously, the two of them still find it difficult to accept the current result.

Li Yuanji didn't care either, and after Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu finished expressing their opinions, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "The four of you just happened to come, and I just have a matter that needs the four of you to do."

Xiao Yu took the lead in cupping his hands and said: "Please give orders, Your Highness!"

Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, and Li Gang also bowed their hands and waited quietly for orders.

Li Yuanji did not rush to give orders, but asked questioningly: "Has the order to open Zhenyao's mansion been issued regarding the appointment of me as Zhenyao Admiral?"

Xiao Yu didn't understand why Li Yuanji asked this suddenly, he hesitated for a while and didn't speak, but Chen Shuda said without any scruples: "Not yet..."

Li Yuanji nodded his head and said, "Then I won't post it for now, and I'll discuss it with my father."

The four of Xiao Yu were taken aback, and looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously, not understanding what Li Yuanji was going to do.

Li Yuanji didn't hide it, and said frankly: "After careful consideration, I found out that my father's decision is not appropriate, so I want to discuss with my father to see if I can cancel this decree."

Li Yuanji had really thought about this matter.

It was also because of careful consideration that he found that after Li Jiancheng's Zhan Shi Mansion was abolished, and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall were abolished, it was meaningless to open Zhenyao Mansion.

Li Yuan canonized him as Zhenyao Admiral and allowed him to open Zhenyao Mansion, so that he could lead the officials in a legitimate manner.

Just like Li Shimin before.

But the reason why Li Shimin wanted to lead the officials under his command as General Tiance, and opened the Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall to resettle the officials under his command was because there was a prince Li Jiancheng on his head.

With Li Jiancheng as a prince and in the name of supervising the country, if Li Shimin wants to control the officials in his hands freely, he must have an identity that Li Jiancheng cannot restrain, and a government office that Li Jiancheng cannot restrain.

But now Li Jiancheng has been deprived of all his authority and imprisoned in the East Palace. Li Shimin has also been deposed of all his officials and titles and imprisoned in Chengqing Palace forever.

There was no one above him.

There is no need to bother to open any Zhenyao Mansion.

He only needs to ask Li Yuan for an order to supervise the country as a prince.

Doing so can not only greatly reduce the impact of Datang's power change, but also allow him to quickly accept and digest Datang's power.
