Man Tanghong

"The ministers have met the saints, and met His Royal Highness King Qi..."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all stood up amidst the censors and visitors announcing in front of the hall, first saluted in the direction of Liangyi Hall where Li Yuan was, and then saluted Li Yuanji together.

Li Yuanji nodded his head, and the imperial servant in front of the palace declared, "Sit!"

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sat down together.

The censor in front of the palace looked at Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji didn't speak, so the censor in front of the palace preached again: "There is something to play!"

The palace attendant Yushi didn't say anything about retiring from the court without incident.

The meaning of what they said was that His Royal Highness Qi Wang has nothing to say, and everyone can start to play, not that everyone is fine, and His Royal Highness Qi can leave if there is nothing to do.

When the censor in front of the hall finished his speech and stepped back to one side to close his eyes to meditate, Li Gang hesitated for a moment and went out of the class to play: "Your Highness, the ministers and others have already discussed the documents you sent to the Ministry of Education yesterday. After that, I have some objections to His Highness dispatching Yu Wenhou to the palace as the General of Qianniu Palace Guard, I hope His Highness will think about it for a while."

Li Yuanji pondered and said, "What do you think is wrong?"

Li Gang cupped his hands and said: "The position of General Guard of Qianniu Palace is newly established by Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang. Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang didn't explain what rank she is in and what kind of responsibilities she shoulders, but I think it should be the same as before. The duties of the generals of Jianmenfu and the generals of left and right Tunwei have been repeated.

Therefore, such important positions should be handed over to the important officials in the court, so the officials feel that it is inappropriate. "

In short, the rank of General Qianniu Gongwei is too high, and Yu Wenbao is not qualified for a marquis.

After all, before this, all the generals of the palace guards and mansions were the Dukes of the state, and most of them were veterans who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Yu Wenbao was a marquis, and he did not have any dazzling great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. In a similar position, it is difficult to convince the public.

After all, there were a lot of Dukes in the Tang Dynasty, as well as a lot of county princes, let alone how many county princes there were. Some of them could take up the post of Qianniu Gongwei General, but it was not Yu Wenbao's turn to take the lead.

Li Yuanji also knew that it would be difficult to convince the public to lift Yu Wenbao to the position of general at once. He also expected that Li Gang and others would reject his appointment, so he did not argue strongly on this issue, but remained calm Said: "Then let Yu Wenbao be appointed Qianniu Palace Guard Zuo General first. Xie Shufang will take over the post of Qianniu Palace Guard General for the time being."

Xie Shufang is the Duke of the state, and also the husband of the county lord. He is considered a half-royal man, and he is qualified to hold such an important position. Li Gang and others can't find anything wrong.

Several people exchanged glances, and there was a wry smile on their faces.

Several people are old Jianghu, the moment they got the appointment documents, they guessed Li Yuanji's intention to appoint Yu Wenbao as the General of Qianniu Palace Guard, in order to prevent the lives of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin from being completely destroyed by Li Yuanji After taking control, they discussed it and planned to stop it, and they were ready to quarrel with Li Yuanji.

It's just that they didn't expect Li Yuanji to change his attitude so easily, and gave a candidate that they couldn't pick at all.

Now that the matter has come to this point, they can only bite the bullet and admit it.

"Your Highness, is there any question about the appointment of Chai Shao, the Consort Governor?"

Xiao Yu questioned Chai Shao's appointment after Yu Wenbao's appointment was a foregone conclusion.

Li Yuanji glanced at Xiao Yu, and said indifferently: "There is nothing to discuss, is Chai Shao's contribution to my Tang Dynasty not enough to be promoted to the post of Army Sima in the Eighth Commander's Mansion of the Qin Palace?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Based on Chai Fuma's achievements in the past, of course he is qualified for this position. It's just that Chai Concubine is inconvenient to move now, and supervising the eight commanding military mansions of the Qin Palace is another job that needs to go back and forth. I am afraid that Chai Concubine will not be able to do what he wants."

Xiao Yu's words were very polite, and he almost said that Chai Shao is now a useless person, and there is no way to supervise the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's mansion.

Li Yuanji did not argue with Xiao Yu, but instead asked: "Then who do you think is suitable, who can replace Chai Consort?"

"This……"

Xiao Yu was in a dilemma all of a sudden.

Because he also knew that the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's Mansion are now a big thunderstorm, and if they are not handled well, they will go out of the barracks and deal a heavy blow to Chang'an City.

So it's really hard to choose who will supervise them and recruit them.

He quickly flicked through several candidates in his mind, but none of them were suitable.

"What do you think, Your Highness, Duke Qiu?"

Someone muttered a proposal.

Li Yuanji gave him a blank look, and didn't even bother to talk to him.

How about Duke Qiu?
It would be better to let Qiu He go than to let Li Shimin go directly. Anyway, the result is the same, that is, the people from the eight commanding military mansions of Qin Wangfu rushed into Chang'an City together and made Li Shimin the emperor.

If Li Shimin was allowed to go, it would be faster.

"Ma Shilang be careful..."

Pei Ju reminded the speaker, cupped his hands and said, "How about letting His Royal Highness Huai'an go down?"

Li Yuanji stared at Pei Ju quietly and said, "Does Mr. Pei really think my Uncle Wang is suitable?"

Pei Ju opened his mouth, but said nothing.

It is quite appropriate to be suitable, but there will be endless troubles.

After all, with Li Shentong's temperament, he only wanted to keep the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's mansion in order. As for the rest, he would never do more, and he would never be able to do so.In case Li Shimin's people took the opportunity to connect people from the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's mansion together and start making trouble, then he would not be able to stop it.

So he was a little speechless when Li Yuanji asked this question.

Chen Shuda cupped his hands and wanted to speak, but Li Yuanji stepped forward and said: "Everyone, don't forget, whether there will be any troubles in Eastern Shaanxi Province and Duji Province in the future, none of us knows when and where the Turkic people will come down." , we also don't know.

If these two incidents break out together, then my Tang Dynasty will fall into unprecedented internal and external troubles.

So during this period, my Datang can no longer have other turmoil.

Therefore, I think it is most appropriate for Chai Shao to be the military commander of the Eighth Commander's Mansion of King Qin's Mansion. "

Li Yuanji didn't say some things, but Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others knew it well.

That was the other turmoil that Li Yuanji was talking about, referring to the possibility of chaos at any time in the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's Mansion.

This is indeed very unfavorable to Datang, who is in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Therefore, it is necessary for Chai Shao, who once served as a general under Li Shimin, to control them, restrain them, and appease them.

"But Prince Chai is unable to move, and I'm afraid he won't be able to complete the important task His Highness entrusted to him."

Xiao Yu said with some worry.

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said, "Then transfer Scholar Cai to assist him."

"Scholar Cai?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Cai Yungong?"

Although it is impolite to call someone by their first name directly, but Xiao Yu's age is there, and the official title is also there. No one will blame him for calling most people by their names.

You can't expect a person who has a higher status than you and is older than you to be polite and polite to you, right?
It is considered very polite when someone gives you a smiling face.

Faced with Xiao Yu's questioning, Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

If you just recruited such a talent, if you don't use it as soon as possible, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?
Anyway, they all did things under Li Shimin's hands, and they were all related to military affairs. They were also familiar with most of the low-level officials in the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's mansion, so it was more convenient and faster to do things.

"Since His Highness has decided to let Cai Yungong assist Li Chai Consort, then I have no objection..."

Xiao Yu said something with a complicated expression.

He could tell that Li Yuanji wanted to dig out Li Shimin's roots, that's why he asked Chai Shao and Cai Yungong to control, restrain, and appease the soldiers and horses of the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's mansion.

It is said to control, restrain, and soothe, but in fact it is to subdue.

It is estimated that after Chai Shao and Cai Yungong entered the camp of the Eighth Commander's Mansion of the Qin Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the Eighth Commander's Mansion of the Qin Dynasty would have to change their surnames to Qi.

This is not good news for Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, nor is it good news for him, Li Gang and others.

But they couldn't stop it.

Because if Chai Shao and Cai Yungong were not allowed to go, it would directly endanger Datang.

If Chai Shao and Cai Yungong are allowed to go, Datang may not be harmful, but Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin are farther away from power.

After all, Li Yuanji, who has the blessing of the eight commanding military mansions of Prince Qin's Mansion, will far surpass Li Shimin before him in terms of military power, and will also be invincible to Datang.

The military power is invincible, can the regime be far behind?
After all, ninety-nine percent of the political power is won by military power.

"Since Mr. Xiao has no objection to the appointment of Chai Shao as Sima of the Eighth Commander's Mansion of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, let's draft a decree and issue it as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji said to Xiao Yu indifferently.

Xiao Yu cupped his hands in agreement.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda and others again and said, "Do you have any objections to my other appointments?"

Li Gang and the others shook their heads in unison.

The rest of the appointments were very necessary, and they didn't touch what they were worried about, and they didn't touch Datang's interests, so they had nothing to object to.

"Then let's talk about other things."

Li Yuanji spoke again.

A Nayan who had been waiting for Li Yuanji for a long time was finally able to speak. He couldn't wait to stand up, cupped his hands solemnly and said, "Your Highness, I want to know what mistakes Pei Pushe made. ?
I also heard that you have also imprisoned a group of officials who have made good friends with Pei Pushe in your house. Do you also want to ransack their homes and exterminate them? "

"Yes, what is wrong with Pei Pu's shot, please make it clear, Your Highness."

"If you treat Pei Pushe like this because of non-existent things, I'm afraid everyone in the world will discuss it."

"..."

When someone raised his head, many people began to complain for Pei Ji.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Has Pei Ji's house been raided?"

Some people showed grief and indignation when they heard this.

I think Li Yuanji is insulting people.

Li Shentong, who sat aside as a woodcarver and clay sculpture for a long time, replied in a low voice, "I have already copied it!"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "You are fast enough."

Li Shentong pursed his lips and didn't speak. Can you be unhappy? He mobilized three thousand troops to the Duke of Wei's mansion. No one in the Duke of Wei's mansion dared to move, and he leveled the Duke of Wei's mansion easily.

Not only that, he also sent heavy troops to the mansions of other Pei Ji party members. During the process of closing the mansion, no one dared to resist, and those who resisted would be shot to death.

In the matter of dealing with Pei Ji, he was not afraid of offending others, nor was he afraid of bloodshed.

"Your Highness, copying the residence of the important minister without reason, such a nonsense move will arouse public outrage!"

Someone was enraged by Li Yuanji's attitude and started to drink angrily on the spot.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shendao: "Tell them what crime Pei Ji committed, otherwise they seem unwilling to let it go."

Li Shentong snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Pei Ji deserves to die!"

Li Gang, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Pei Ju and others looked at each other, sighed inwardly, and nodded.

Although they deeply sympathized with Pei Ji's experience, Pei Ji deserved to die for the crime he committed.

A hat of adulterous harem is enough to sentence Pei Ji to death.

In the past, Pei Ji was covered by Li Yuan, and it was ridiculous to be with Li Yuan. Everyone just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. Now Li Yuanji wants to take Pei Ji's knife, but Li Yuan doesn't care, so everyone has no reason to excuse Pei Ji.

After all, it was a mistake, Pei Ji had already made a mistake, and it was a big mistake enough for the Yi tribes, and Pei Ji had no intention of repenting, so there was nothing to say about being ransacked and exterminated.
