Man Tanghong

Chapter 886 Li Gangneng Just Arrived, You Are Scared!
"Do you think you're smart?"

Li Yuanji made a serious face on purpose, and asked in a neutral manner.

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing immediately realized that he had talked too much, and immediately bowed and said, "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue..."

Li Yuanji waved his hand, and said calmly: "Since Chen Aiqing has agreed to help you with the matter, with the help of King Hejian, I think there will be no discrepancy in this matter, you can go down and prepare."

Li Jing tactfully agreed, then hesitated and said, "I don't know who His Highness is planning to appoint as general?"

What is said here is the point, not the obeisance, but the vanguard general, or the marching chief.

Li Yuanji didn't hide it either, and told Li Jing all the generals he was going to order in one go.

After listening, Li Jing frowned and said, "Does Your Highness want to worship Li Shiji as the deputy commander?"

He has no objection to other candidates, because other candidates have no way to compete with him. Apart from being able to obey his orders, they have no autonomy and will not dictate to him.

Only Li Shiji was an exception. Li Shiji could hardly be compared with him in terms of ability. Of course, this was because he was more humble.

He is a head higher than him in status, because Li Shiji has more closed households than him, and there are two dukes in Li Shiji's house, one is Li Shiji himself, and the other is Li Shiji's father. There is no other duke to compare with Li Shiji.

If it wasn't because he came from Li's Danyang family and was related to the royal family, he really wouldn't be able to sit on an equal footing with Li Shiji in the court.

Although his achievements over the years are not insignificant, but he was not leading the army alone under Li Xiaogong's command at first, so half of his contribution was divided into Li Xiaogong, and there was no way to follow the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Lee Se-jil ratio for credit.

So if Li Shiji went with him to conquer the Turks, if Li Shiji disagreed with his ideas, became dissatisfied with his command, and stood up to point fingers, it would be very troublesome for him.

He is not Li Jiancheng, nor Li Shimin, nor Li Yuanji, without the blessing of being a direct prince, he cannot restrain Li Shiji at all.

Li Yuanji heard the worries in his heart, and asked jokingly: "Why, are you afraid that Li Shiji will take your power?"

Li Jing hurriedly said: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't tolerate others, I'm just afraid of being ordered out of the second sect. Your Highness is also a person who has led the army, so he should know how harmful it is to be ordered out of the second sect."

What Li Jing said was righteous, and he seemed to be thinking about Datang.

But it would be strange to say that he has no selfish motives.

But what he said is indeed the truth, whether it is to lead troops to fight, or to control state affairs, the most taboo thing is to order out of the second sect.

This is something that can decide the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people with a single movement of their mouths. If one person has one idea, one person has one style, if two people speak, it is easy to collide, and the unlucky ones must be those Soldiers, those common people, and things can easily fail under the collision of two people.

Therefore, we must set priorities from the very beginning, and let the dominant person have the absolute right to speak at critical times.

"Since you have this concern, then I will write a letter to Li Shiji and ask him to listen to you after he goes out."

Li Jing was unmoved when he heard this, and his brows were still tightly frowned. Li Yuanji continued: "I will lend you my father's sword of ceremonies. If he doesn't follow your orders, you can kill him first and play later!"

Ritual Sword is often an ornament, used to add prestige, and also used to show one's bravery to others. If you use it to cut people, it is estimated that it can only cause blunt wounds or cut people's skin. To stab a man to death, or to cut off a man's neck, it must be done by a strong man with a sword.

Therefore, the ritual sword is generally used together with the ritual clothes, and it is kept in a high cabinet on weekdays, and it is not very useful.

But Li Yuan's Ritual Sword is different, it has the blessing of imperial power, and can be used as an authority when necessary, just like Shangfang's sword.

Although there is no such thing as a Shangfang sword in the Tang Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's Ritual Sword is similar to the Shangfang Sword.

With this guarantee, Li Jing's brows loosened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He wouldn't really use Li Yuan's Sword of Ritual to kill Li Shiji, even if he had the power, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Because Li Shiji is a prince big and small, one of the few generals in the Tang Dynasty, and a hero of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't mean that he can be beheaded if he wants to.

If he really beheaded Li Shiji for some reason, then Li Yuanji would admit what he did, but he would find a reason to behead him afterwards.

Because the title has reached the level of the Duke of the Kingdom, it is considered a partner of the royal family. The royal family is not easy to neglect, and only those in power can kill them. This is the unique authority of the power-holders, and it is also the basis for the power-holders to control them. , other people get involved, how can those in power tolerate it?
So even if Li Jing got Li Yuan's sword of ceremonies and the privilege of beheading Li Shiji first, and then stating Li Shiji's mistakes in the performance, he would not really kill Li Shiji.

Not only that, he won't even move the other commanders, he just needs a deterrent, a reason for others to obey his orders unconditionally.

As for the other generals, it doesn't matter.

After all, you can't even get along with the Duke of the state, you still don't obey orders, and you still want to make trouble, so who will you kill if you don't?

When a general goes out to battle, he must establish his prestige. If he can't even maintain his prestige, how can he command the entire army?
In history, Li Shiji killed his son-in-law at every turn. Did he really like to kill his own people?
no.

He wants to establish his prestige, and he wants to use this to tell others that he can kill his son-in-law, and he will not be merciful if he kills others. He will kill anyone who dares to cause trouble for him.

In this way, other people naturally dare not mess around under his hands, and naturally obey him in everything.

He can also use this to command the entire army like a man.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Jing and asked teasingly.

Li Jing hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not!"

It is one thing to demand power, but it is quite another to bargain with those in power.

Li Jing knew the seriousness of it clearly and did not dare to make mistakes.

Li Yuanji snorted pretending to be dissatisfied, and signaled to Li Jing again that he could go down and get ready.

Li Jing had already got what he wanted, and he didn't have any worries, so he left Tai Chi Hall happily.

As Chen Shuda and Li Jing left the Tai Chi Hall one after the other, the news that the Tang Dynasty was going to conquer the Turks was confirmed.

It's not that these two people are so popular that they publicized the matter after they went out, but that when Chen Shuda went to talk to Ren Gui, he quarreled with Ren Gui, and the officials from the three provinces happened to hear it, and then he told Ren Gui The story got out.

With the news released by Li Xiaogong and the confirmation of the officials of the three provinces, anyone in Chang'an City can guess that this matter is true, not just rumors.

After the news was confirmed, many people who were still watching couldn't sit still, and started running away one by one.

Some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, others want to fight for a chance to go to war, and some want to avoid being drafted into the army and go to conquer the Turks.

In short, both people and ghosts are shown.

After the news spread again, Li Yuanji guessed that someone would come to him to fight for a chance to go out. He guessed many people, but he didn't guess that Li Yuan would also join in.

Seeing Li Yuan sitting carelessly on the main seat in the main hall of the Wude Hall, holding Li Chengde's little bird for the old disrespect, and playing a rascal, Li Yuanji said tiredly: "Father, Shu Erchen can't agree your requirements……"

Li Yuan didn't know who he learned from, and he was no longer bluffing in front of his son. Hearing this, he just turned his head, glanced at his son contemptuously, and then hummed: "I'm asking you Is it? I am notifying you!"

When Li Yuan spoke, he completely raised his voice, acting like I am the emperor, and I don't need to ask anyone, I just need to inform people.

Domineering is quite domineering, and also looks like an emperor, but his request is a bit outrageous, and Li Yuanji still can't agree.

Li Yuanji immediately cupped his hands and said: "The minister there, as the prince of Jianguo, rejects your imperial edict!"

Li Yuan hugged the little bird and was hurt, and Li Chengye, who spat at him, said lightly: "Then I will send an order to the three provinces..."

Li Yuanji added without hesitation: "After hearing your edict, the three provinces will also reject it!"

Just kidding, an emperor who has not participated in a war for many years, and now he has given up all his authority, suddenly wants to lead the army to conquer the Turks in person. Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui are absolutely impossible to agree to this unless they are crazy. sort of thing.

Jian Guo rejected it here, but if the three provinces agreed, if something happened to Li Yuan, wouldn't all the three provinces have to be buried with him?
Li Yuan seemed to feel very humiliated, and couldn't help humming: "Then I made a decree!"

This does not require the consent of the three provinces, as long as Li Yuan is still sitting on the throne, he can do whatever he wants.

The problem is that Zhongzhi has limitations.

It is only useful for certain things, and these specific things do not include the imperial conquest.

"It's against etiquette!"

Li Yuanji cupped his hands.

Li Yuan raised his face and shouted: "I'm going down!"

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said angrily: "Then please father give Li Gang a death first!"

Li Yuan opened his eyes and wanted to shout, seeing that Li Chengde was frightened by his yelling just now, and had already closed his mouth, so he could only shake his beard and stare while shaking Li Chengde, "What are you doing?" mean?!"

Li Yuanji pursed his lips and said: "If you want to go your own way, then I can only call Li Gang to re-enter the court. With Li Gang's temper, knowing that his father wants to go to the royal conquest, he will definitely stop him. My father wants to go past him to go to the imperial conquest. Then just kill him first."

Li Yuan stared at his son and roared, "I don't need to kill him, but lock him up!"

Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "Then Li Gang will probably hit him to death!"

Lun Gang, where did you Li Yuan come from?
Li Gangneng just arrived and you are afraid! !
