Man Tanghong

Chapter 557 On How the Barrel of a Gun Hardened

Li Xiaogong also raised his head and said: "Yes, it must be sealed!"

Li Shentong said angrily again: "I think you're nothing but Pei Ji's officials are light, you should also remove his title!"

Li Shentong couldn't help but not be angry.

You, Pei Ji, are a minister, so it’s fine to play with your father on weekdays. At this critical moment, when the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, you don’t know how to persuade your father to govern the Tang Dynasty well, but instead indulge him Play more recklessly, play more frantically.

Then you are dereliction of duty, you are a disaster for the country, you have to beheaded, you have to be hacked into pieces!

At this moment, Li Shentong didn't care about Li Yuanji anymore. After Pei Ji became an official, would Li Yuan turn against Li Yuanji?

He just wanted to get rid of Pei Ji as soon as possible, and tear him apart.

For Datang!

For Datang's reputation!
For Lee!

For Li's reputation!
Pei Ji!

must die!
"You can make it difficult for me. I'm just Pei Ji's official. My father won't say anything, but if I lower Pei Ji's title, my father will definitely turn against me."

Li Yuanji understood Li Shentong's mood, but he couldn't agree with Li Shentong's statement.

No matter how you say it, Pei Ji's title was obtained from Long Zhi Gong, and Li Yuan also has a certain title in his heart.

Forget about Pei Ji's official, it's okay to make Pei Ji a rich man.

If Pei Ji's Jue is spared and Pei Ji becomes completely white, Li Yuan will really turn his back on him.

Those old ministers who have the merits of Conglong will also make trouble.

Because doing so is tantamount to seizing power from Li Yuan openly, and it is tantamount to announcing to all the old officials that I, Li Yuanji, are in power, and I want to use the officials I promoted. You old officials can go to the garbage dump.

Can Li Yuan not quarrel with him, can those old ministers not quarrel with him?
Although Li Yuan has completely delegated power to him now, Li Yuan is still the master of the Tang Dynasty after all. Li Yuan giving him power and him taking power from Li Yuan are completely two concepts.

Over the past two years, he had a clear understanding of Li Yuan's character.

Li Yuan is definitely the kind of emperor who says 'you can use what I give you, and you can't take what I don't give you'.

Li Yuan is also a rare and generous emperor in history.

So Li Yuan has already started to completely delegate power to him, so he doesn't need to go to Li Yuan to grab power, let alone stimulate Li Yuan.

As for those old ministers, they are now the mainstay of the court, and he still needs to use them to stabilize the court situation, so it is not easy to stimulate them.

Therefore, Pei Ji's function is fine, but the title is absolutely unavoidable.

Li Shentong was so angry that he didn't want to think too much about what he said, so after hearing Li Yuanji's words, he shouted angrily, "If you turn your back on it, turn your back on it!"

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Uncle Wang said it so lightly, you can turn your face when you turn against me? Didn't you just persuade me not to turn against my father? You should know the impact on Datang after my turn against my father."

Li Shentong squinted his eyes and shouted: "Then we can't let them act like this!"

Li Yuanji encouraged: "If Uncle Wang really can't stand it, just take someone to Liangyi Hall to slaughter Pei Ji, and I will try my best to protect Uncle Wang from any harm."

Li Shentong was choked all of a sudden, panting heavily, his eyes staring like copper bells.

He did have the guts to kill Pei Ji, but he didn't have the guts to kill him in front of Li Yuan.

If Pei Ji wasn't in Liangyi Hall and Li Yuan's side, he wouldn't mind getting angry for the sake of Datang and Li's reputation.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong who was 'turning off the flame', and said regretfully: "It seems that Uncle Wang doesn't really see it anymore."

Li Shentong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he could no longer stare anymore.

The rough breathing from the nostrils also became heavier, and his heavy breathing could be heard from several feet away, which showed that he was not lightly stimulated, nor was he very angry.

"Uncle Wang calm down..."

Seeing that Li Shentong was about to piss himself off, Li Xiaogong comforted Li Shentong while complaining to Li Yuanji: "Uncle Wang is getting old and can't take it anymore, can't you just say a few words less?"

Li Yuanji also knew that he couldn't be angry with Li Shentong any more, and Li Shentong might explode on the spot, so he said obediently: "Don't say it, don't say it..."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly comforted Li Shentong again, and only when Li Shentong was breathing smoothly, he slowly said: "We agreed to what you explained.

If you have anything else to explain, please explain it together. "

After seeing the scene in the Liangyi Hall, he no longer has any opinion on the matter of sealing off the residence of Pei Ji's followers.

Li Shentong obviously didn't have any opinion.

Li Yuanji was not hypocritical when facing Li Xiaogong's "voluntary invitation", and said frankly: "I still need you to prepare and lead the army."

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then slowly frowned and said, "To deal with the Turks?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Not bad!"

After Li Xiaogong was silent for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Are you assured of handing over the 10,000+ army to me?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. I will not only send you alone, but I will also send others. The 10,000+ army is not entrusted to you alone, but to many people."

Li Xiaogong frowned and said: "But the saint doesn't trust me."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "That's because my father doesn't understand you, but I understand you. And this time, I am in charge, not my father."

Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuanji and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will bury an army of 10,000+ in northern Xinjiang?"

Li Yuanji smiled lightly and said, "It's not necessary to suspect people, but it's not necessary to employ people."

Li Xiaogong fell into silence again, and after a long time, he said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll just say this to you, I'll go to northern Xinjiang for a while, and meet the Turkic people who have repeatedly invaded my Tang Dynasty, and see what they can do .”

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction, and just about to say a word of praise, Li Xiaogong said again: "However, I have to ask for a few people, otherwise I dare not say victory."

Li Xiaogong knew his abilities well, and also knew that Tang could not be defeated in this battle, so he didn't dare to trust him, and he wanted to be his right-hand assistant.

Li Yuanji had been prepared for a long time, so he said without hesitation: "I will send Li Shiji and Huang Junhan to help you, and I will also send the talisman Uncle Wang to listen to your orders, and I will also send a letter to Ren Gui, so that Ren Gui can help you at critical times. You give me a hand."

Li Xiaogong said seriously: "I still want Li Jing, and I want to thank Shufang!"

There is a saying that use cooked food but not raw food.

Li Xiaogong has already cooperated with Li Jing in tacit understanding, so he hopes that Li Jing can become his deputy.

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said, "Li Jing can give it to you, but Xie Shufang can't!"

On Hebei Road, there are Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin, who are enough to deal with Li Yi, so Li Jing can be used by Li Xiaogong.

But Uncle Xie can't.

Li Xiaogong frowned all of a sudden, and said subconsciously: "Isn't the situation in Chang'an City already under your control? Why are you still keeping Xie Shufang?"

Li Yuanji didn't answer Li Xiaogong's question, but instead asked: "Did you forget that the Eighth Commander's Mansion under my second brother's command is still in the hands of my second brother's people?

Although they have no movement for the time being, it does not mean that they will never move. "

After Li Shimin was captured, the Eight Commanding Army Mansions under Li Shimin's command did not take any action, not because they didn't want to do anything, but because Li Shimin transferred most of the generals who led them away.

Now they are in a state of leaderless, do not know what they need to do, what to do, so there is no movement.

Once someone they are familiar with integrates them together in the name of Li Shimin, they will become a serious problem for Chang'an City.

So I have to guard against it.

"Besides, can you be sure that when the Turks invaded south this time, they would come in from the Youyun line as before? If they shot a shot at Youyun, directly broke through Xiaoguan, and approached Chang'an City, there would be no generals and school available. What to do with it?"

Li Xiaogong who was asked by Li Yuanji was speechless.

There are more than 3 soldiers and horses in the eight commanding military mansions under Li Shimin's command, and each of them is a fierce soldier.

If they were reintegrated, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

If they attack Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, and save Li Shimin, Li Yuanji will have no one in his hands, so it is really difficult to deal with them.

In addition, although the Turkic people had never entered from Xiaoguan before, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After all, as long as the Turkic people broke through Xiaoguan, they would be able to drive all the way to Chang'an City and directly penetrate into Datang's henchmen.

In the past, the Turkic people did not do this because Datang’s confidantes stationed many soldiers and horses, and there were Xiongguan as the gateway, so it was not easy for the Turkic people to come in or go out.

Now, there is turmoil in Datang's confidantes, and power has also changed. When the Turks came in from Xiaoguan, it was difficult for those in power to quickly form an effective defense, and it was difficult to gather a large number of soldiers and horses to leave the Turks behind. people.

So the Turks have a great chance to take advantage of this good opportunity.

So Li Yuanji only left Uncle Xie to deal with this situation, and he was already taking a risk.

So Lee Hyo-gong has no way to 'make progress' any longer.

"Since you know that sooner or later there will be disturbances in the eight commanding military mansions under Shimin's command, why don't you eradicate them?"

Li Shentong suddenly interjected.

Li Yuanji wanted to laugh a little.

It's so easy to eradicate the eight commanding military mansions under Li Shimin's command.

They are leaderless now, either because they were defeated or disabled.

If you attack them directly, even if they don't have a general and school commander, they can still display a very strong combat effectiveness through the command of basic officers such as brigade commanders, special commanders, and corporal commanders.

They are fierce soldiers who have been carefully selected by Li Shimin for many years of fighting. Although they are not as good as the Xuanjia Army, they are more than a star and a half stronger than other soldiers and horses.

If more than 3 people riot together, it will be another disaster for Chang'an City.

Therefore, directly attacking them would not work at all, and could only be done gradually.

In addition, they are the essence condensed in the army since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and they are part of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If they are destroyed like this, Li Yuanji will not be reconciled and reluctant.

So Li Yuanji wanted to slowly take them for his own use by cannibalizing them.

As long as he can digest them, plus the elite soldiers from the six commanding mansions of Prince Qi's mansion, Li Yuanji feels that he can walk sideways anywhere in the world.

Even if Li Shimin came out by 'breaking through', he could only look at him twice, and then obediently work for him.

No way, the barrel of the gun is too hard!

Thick and hard!
