Man Tanghong

They are well aware of the principle that the emperor and the courtiers are the same, and they also know that this day will come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Fortunately, Li Yuanji didn't let Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others directly take over their positions as soon as he came up, and gave them some opportunities to continue to shine in the court, so that they could leave with dignity in the future.

Several people didn't need to communicate, and after each sighed in their hearts, they all bowed and said: "I have no objection."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Gang and the others to be so obedient in the matter of Wang Gui and Ma Zhou, after a little thought, he guessed what they were thinking, but he didn't say much.

He just ordered lightly, "Then do it as soon as possible."

One emperor and one courtier, from the perspective of the court situation, it can be regarded as a general trend.

Throughout the annals of history, most of the old ministers who were still nostalgic for power and refused to leave after the new emperor ascended the throne, most of them could not escape three fates.

One is to completely crawl at the feet of the new emperor, become the dog and horse of the new emperor, and then abandon it after being used by the new emperor.

One was completely eradicated by the new emperor as a stumbling block.

One is to wrestle with the new emperor and win the new emperor, completely becoming a powerful minister who can control the ownership of the throne.

The former two abound in history, almost becoming the stepping stones of the new Emperor Liwei.

The latter are few in history, and they can be counted on one hand. The most famous of them is Huo Guang in the Western Han Dynasty.

Li Yuanji was very relieved that Li Gang and the others did not intend to wrestle with him, but happily gave way to Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and the others, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Go back!"

Li Yuanji announced calmly, flung up his sleeves and left the Tai Chi Hall.

The reason why he flung his sleeves was not to show prestige, nor to pretend to be chic, but the sleeves of the court clothes were very wide, and it would be very inconvenient to walk if he didn't shake them and hold them to one side.

"I will send you off to His Royal Highness King Qi."

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up and saw them off.

After Li Yuanji's figure completely disappeared in front of the Taiji Hall, the censor in front of the hall dispersed the officials, and Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Li Shentong went to do the errands arranged by Li Yuanji.

When Li Yuanji returned to Wude Hall, it was already noon, and Yang Miaoyan, Chen Shanyi and others had already prepared lunch.

After politely exchanging some pre-dinner etiquette with each other, they ate directly.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Yuanji rushed to Zhaode Hall to govern.

When he arrived in front of the Zhaode Hall, he saw Yu Wenbao standing there with an excited expression on his face.

Seeing Li Yuanji, Yu Wenbao rushed forward excitedly, and after a simple salute, he shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, have you promoted me?"

Li Yuanji's face was dark, and he said angrily: "What do you mean I promoted you? This is so ugly. If it gets out, people will think that I only appoint my cronies."

Yu Wenbao scratched his head, and said with a hey smile: "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue, it was the minister who made a slip of the tongue..."

Li Yuanji said angrily again: "The reason why I promoted you is because of your achievements in Hangu Pass. If you have no achievements, I will not give you a promotion."

Yu Wenbao blinked, and he didn't know where he got his political achievements after guarding Hangu Pass for more than half a year without fighting a single battle.

However, since His Highness said that he has political achievements, then he has political achievements.

All in all, in one sentence, everything His Highness says is right.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Yu Wenbao straightened his back, clasped his fists with both hands, and shouted loudly.

Li Yuanji gave Yu Wenbao a blank look, and said with hatred, "I don't love you so much, can I do it? You must stay by my side, and you must be a ground beast in Chang'an City, and go to the battlefield to seek credit for it later." The matter is out of your share. If you want to be promoted to a noble, you can only get seniority.

If I don't promote you, your Marquis position is estimated to be passed down to the next generation and you will become an uncle. "

Yu Wenbao just became serious, and after hearing this, he lost his temper again, scratching his head and laughing: "Your Highness, you also know that I don't care about these things, as long as I can stay by your side, let alone Hou Chengbo Even if you are a palace guard, I am willing to do so."

Li Yuanji scolded angrily: "No prospect!"

Yu Wenbao scratched his head, grinned and said nothing.

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao again, and then brought Yu Wenbao into Zhaode Hall.

After arriving in the hall, he first ordered Yu Wenbao to find a place to settle himself, and then sat down on the table in the hall with a big horse, and began to read the documents presented by Li Gang and others.

After reading the two documents, he opened his mouth and said to Yu Wenbao: "I originally wanted to directly appoint you as General Qianniu Gongwei, but Li Gang and others felt that your qualifications and rank were not enough, so they could only be demoted. You are appointed as General Qianniu Palace Weizuo, and Xie Shufang is given the position of General.

However, Xie Shufang and I have another appointment, so Qianniu Palace Guard is still up to you. "

When Yu Wenbao heard this, he snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Li Gang and other old men know how to play tricks."

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao and said, "It's not that he's playing tricks, it's that he has real insight. If you go to the battlefield for two more years and accumulate more credits, if I want to use you, no one will make irresponsible remarks.

In the final analysis, your own foundation is still insufficient, so I think it will be difficult to promote you beyond the rules. "

Yu Wenbao was about to leave Li Yuanji's side as soon as he thought of going to the battlefield to gain credit, and immediately shouted, "I think General Qianniu Gongwei Zuo is also quite good..."

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao viciously, and cursed again that he was worthless.

The gap between this person and others is really too big.

Like the other military officials in the ruling and opposition parties, they were afraid that there would be no battle, that the world would be peaceful all of a sudden, that they would have no place to make credit for it, and that they would be hidden by all of them.

Fortunately for Yu Wenbao, the world is not peaceful yet, so he will hide himself first.

Li Yuanji didn't even know what to say about this product.

"Your Highness, after I go to Qianniu Palace Guard, besides guarding the gate, what else do I need to do for you?"

Seeing that Li Yuanji had finished scolding him, Yu Wenbao stopped talking, and took the initiative to ask questions embarrassingly.

Li Yuanji glanced at Yu Wenbao and said, "You finally said something I would like to hear."

Yu Wenbao smiled embarrassedly.

Li Yuanji continued: "After you go to the Qianniu Palace Guard, remember to replace the people inside with ours as soon as possible. Then watch my elder brother and my second brother to death, and don't allow them to pass a word out."

Yu Wenbao looked straight, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely help you keep an eye on the prince and King Qin day and night, and will never let them pass a word out."

Yu Wenbao's character in this aspect is still very strong. He said that if he wants to stare at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin day and night, he will definitely stare at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin day and night.

So Li Yuanji was relieved to leave this matter to Yu Wenbao.

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Besides, I want you to appease my second brother's subordinates."

Yu Wenbao was stunned for a moment, then said distressedly: "This... is a bit difficult."

Yu Wenbao was just stunned, but not stupid.

He knew how difficult it was to appease those loyal ministers and generals under Li Shimin's command.

Especially those good generals, almost all of them have followed Li Shimin on the battlefield for several laps, have a life-threatening friendship, and their loyalty to Li Shimin is also quite strong.

The reason they did nothing after the coup in the palace was because Li Shimin was still alive.

If Li Shimin died, then someone among them would definitely gather a group of soldiers and horses to make a commotion in Chang'an City.

They don't care at all whether it can be done or not, they will only crazily avenge Li Shimin.

Therefore, it is as difficult as heaven to appease them.

Yu Wenbao thought about it for a while, if Li Yuanji was captured and they came to recruit him, he would definitely cut off the envoy's head without hesitation, and then try his best to save Li Yuanji.

As for betraying Li Yuanji, he would get more glory and wealth, he would never even think about it.

Loyalty is not a casual word, it can be maintained with one's life.

So Yu Wenbao felt that if he was asked to appease the loyalists under Li Shimin, they would not only refuse, but also cut off his head.

"What's the problem? I asked you to appease my second brother's civil servants, not generals, so just don't reason with them."

Li Yuanji said something indifferent.

Since he decided to let Yu Wenbao replace Quan Xu's job, he naturally made some considerations.

How could Yu Wenbao be in a difficult situation?
How could it be possible for Yu Wenbao to return without success?
After learning the lesson of Quan Xu's failure, he made a new adjustment to the matter of recruiting Li Shimin's people.

That is to let the idiots who don't like reasoning deal with the civil servants under Li Shimin.

Let the unreasonable and very patient talker deal with the generals under Li Shimin's hands.

There is a saying that a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear.

If Yu Wenbao were to deal with Li Shimin's civil servants, they would definitely be tortured to death. At that time, they would not be able to accept it. As long as they still have concerns in their hearts, they will definitely bow their heads.

As for the very few diehards, we can only think of him elsewhere.

However, when the vast majority of people have been appeased, the remaining diehards can't make any big waves.

After all, under the circumstances that there are no troops to adjust and no command of troops, just talking about it will not pose too much threat to the current court situation.

Moreover, one or two mouths can't speak to hundreds of mouths in the court.

As for the mouthpieces to deal with Li Shimin's generals, although it is easy for a scholar to meet a soldier, the situation is unreasonable, but those generals under Li Shimin's hands are now toothless tigers, as if they were carrying Sun Wukong, who was under the curse, faced Tang Seng's broken thoughts, he could only cover his head and say don't say it, don't say it, and can't do anything else.

After being tortured for a long time, [-]% to [-]% will succumb.

For the rest, they can only be sent to accompany Li Jiancheng.
