Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

When the dinner started, Yang En came to Juyi Hall and invited everyone to the side hall of Juyi Hall, which was the side hall where the dinner was held.When everyone arrived at the side hall, they found that Li Ke had already sat down. When everyone saw Li Ke, they wanted to salute him. Li Ke supported him before Feng Deyi saluted, just like Concubine Yang. Li Ke was very fond of Feng Deyi. admire.

After being greeted by Li Ke, everyone sat down. However, it was obvious that the Six Young Masters in the capital, that is, the former Chang'an Five Tigers and one Tai Sui, were not in harmony.It has now been divided into two camps.In the camp dominated by Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang, although they are sworn brothers with Li Ke, they have not yet expressed their opinions in politics.Two camps Li Zong and Yu Chijun.The cousin relationship between Chai Zhewei and Li Ke made him accepted by Li Zongwei Chi Jun.Therefore, he was also on the side of Li Zong and Yu Chijun.The reason for the discord between them was because of Li Ke's disagreement when he was killed in Turkic.Therefore, even if Li Ke returned to Chang'an City safely, Li Zong and Yu Chijun did not change their attitudes towards Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang.And Li Ke naturally sided with Li Zong and Yu Chijun who supported him.Therefore, although the Six Young Masters in Beijing maintain an image of unity and harmony on the surface because of brotherhood, they have actually fallen apart and lost their former glory.

Therefore, halfway through the banquet, Yu Chijun and Qin Huaiyu, who were already drunk, suddenly quarreled for some unknown reason, and then Cheng Huailiang and Li Zong were involved.Li Ke didn't ask too much about the reason for the quarrel between the two parties, so he spoke on the side of Li Zong and Yu Chijun.Therefore, in the end Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang left in anger.The banquet broke up unhappy.

However, this seems to be the result Li Ke most wants to see.Because, after Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang left, Li Ke invited everyone to his study, and ordered Yang En to increase the security work of the study, and no one was allowed to approach the study without his life.In this way, in Li Ke's study room, apart from Su Dingfang, who was still in Mobei, and Chen Qi, who was recuperating in Lingzhou, the real members of the Hanwang Party gathered together. Fu Jia, Shi Chu Suiliang, Chief of the Palace, Lang Cenwen, Secretary of Zhongshu Province, Deng Tongda, Magistrate of Chang'an County, Zuo Wing, chief arrester of Chang'an County, Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yu Chijun of the Six Young Masters of the capital, Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong, Liu Rengui .

Li Ke glanced at the absolute core members who belonged to him, and felt relieved a lot.They are all leaders in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty in the future.Maybe these people in my hands are insignificant in the court of the Tang Dynasty, but as long as they are given a chance and time, in another ten years, or even 15 years, they will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.It can definitely shake half of the Tang Dynasty's politics.

Li Ke felt proud at the thought of this, and a faint smile appeared on his face.He used to only focus on calling these useful talents under his command to work for him, but he didn't think about how to make them become a whole, a group, and realize their greater potential.Because forming a party for personal gain is the biggest taboo of every emperor, and Li Shimin is no exception.Therefore, he didn't want to attract Li Shimin's attention in advance and expose his strength in advance.However, after going through Hou Ruoyi's incident, he finally understood a truth, that is, the power of a person is small, and if he wants to be able to influence the political situation, he must make the strength around him a group.If you want to fight against such a deep-rooted power minister as Changsun Wuji and the forces behind him, you can only compete with it by uniting with the forces around you and cultivating your own forces.

Therefore, Li Ke called everyone together at this moment, nominally to entertain everyone in the mansion, but the real purpose was to enhance mutual understanding between everyone, so that they could form a group and support each other in the future court.At the same time, he wants to reveal a message to everyone, that is, from today onwards, Li Ke, the King of Han, will truly participate in the political situation of the imperial court and confront his political enemies face to face.Therefore, he wants to know everyone's attitude. He wants everyone to express their position, whether to support him or choose to leave.

Everyone is not a fool, so they naturally understand Li Ke's purpose. Feng Deyi and Sun Fujia absolutely support Li Ke and are Li Ke's backbone.Needless to say, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui.Chu Suiliang, as the governor of the palace and Li Ke's mentor, naturally couldn't escape the relationship.Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi were promoted by Li Ke and were greatly favored by Li Ke.Therefore, everyone chose to stand on his side at this time, chose to support Li Ke, and advance and retreat with him.

After Li Ke understood everyone's thoughts, he was happy in his heart, with a slight smile on his face, "I guess, after this winter, there will be some changes in personnel in the imperial court. What do you think?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Feng Deyi became a fine old man, how could he not understand Li Kecai's intentions, he took a look at Li Ke, saw Li Ke treat him slightly, so he stopped talking.Then, he turned his gaze to Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, and Xu Jingzong, and saw that they all showed a clear expression, so he slightly nodded and said, "I can recommend a few talents to each ministry, but I don't know what you mean?"

Li Kedao's meaning is very simple, that is, since you choose to support me, I will definitely support you.And Feng Deyi understood Li Ke's intention, so he said this. He asked everyone to choose a position that suits them so that he can arrange it calmly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Ke knew what they were thinking. At this critical moment, they did not dare to overdo it, it depended on Li Ke's arrangements for them.Therefore, Li Ke first asked his own question, "Today in the imperial study, my father asked me to rule in Bingzhou (Taiyuan, Shanxi) after the king, so many of you have to stay in the capital. Changes, everyone, why don't you seek an official position in the court, it is much better than working as a errand in the Han Dynasty's mansion."

"What?" Yu Chijun was the first to say, "Third brother, are you going to Bingzhou?" Li Zong also looked at Li Ke with a puzzled expression, he didn't expect that Li Ke would leave the capital after the Chinese New Year.

"Your Highness, is this true?" Feng Deyi said in surprise, his face suddenly became ugly, "Is there no room for redemption?"

After Li Ke finished talking about going to Bingzhou in the next year, he understood that this was actually Li Shimin's punishment for Li Ke's persuasion from the study, so he asked this question.

For Feng Deyi, he felt that a prince was in the capital, which meant that he was qualified to compete for the crown prince.If you really want to go to Zhenfan fiefdom, you will be far away from the political center of the capital, which is tantamount to giving up the opportunity to fight for reserves.Therefore, his face was very ugly at this time, and he never thought that the result of Li Ke's persuasion would be like this.

Li Ke understood Feng Deyi's thoughts, but he never thought of comforting him. He knew that his going to Bingzhou was decided by Li Shimin and could not be changed.So he took a look at everyone, and saw that everyone's eyes were full of doubts and surprises, so he continued, "The imperial decree will come down after the Chinese New Year. Father must have his own reasons for doing this. Therefore, I don't want to make things difficult. He." When Li Ke said this, he remembered the last few words Li Shimin said to him earnestly, "Therefore, it is useless for you to stay in the mansion. This king hopes that you can take this opportunity to find a position in the court."

"Hey!" Feng Deyi also knew that Li Shimin's decision-making is usually difficult to change, "Your Highness, you are confused, how can you leave the capital at this time?"

"If your Highness really wants to leave, it might not be a good thing." After Feng Deyi finished speaking, Ma Zhou said thoughtfully, "The current capital is peaceful, but the undercurrents of various forces are actually the most ominous. Place. His Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is controlled by others everywhere in the capital, so he has no room for himself. If this is the case, why not make some political achievements in the local area to make the Emperor look up to His Highness?"

"Nonsense!" Feng Deyi retorted, "When His Highness leaves Chang'an, he will stay away from the emperor's sight. Even if he has made political achievements, so what? Can it be compared to the prince who has made a difference in the capital?"

"Teacher, the students also agree with King Bin." At this moment, Cen Wenwen suddenly said, "Bingzhou is the root of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor can send His Highness to control Bingzhou. It can be seen that it is not common for the prince to support the vassal, but wants to give His Highness a development. Therefore, it is more beneficial for His Highness to leave Chang'an and go to Bingzhou than to stay in the capital." Cen Wenwen really had a unique opinion, and everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"Well, the old man also thought of this, but there is always no better situation than staying in the capital to get closer to Shengting, and to make the emperor pay attention from time to time." Feng Deyi still couldn't accept such a result, so he could only say helplessly .

"His Royal Highness is going to Bingzhou, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to the capital for a long time, so the Cuju Department of the palace may be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites." Seeing that no one was talking about the point, Chu Suiliang said, "King Bin himself is the censor. Taiwan is waiting for the censor, and he is in charge of the Cuju Department in the government, why not resign while seeking an official position in the court?"

"En," Li Ke nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to Feng Deyi, wanting to see what Feng Deyi meant.

"This old man will discuss this matter with Shiwen, there must be no major problem." Feng Deyi affirmed.The Shiwen in his mouth is She Xiao, the servant of Shang Shu, who is also Li Ke's uncle.

As for Xiao, Li Ke's uncle, Li Ke had never had contact with him, and he had never had contact with Li Ke.However, in many cases, he stood by Li Ke's side and firmly supported Li Ke.Therefore, although he does not look like a member of the Hanwang Party, he is actually a real Hanwang Party member.

"King Bin must stay in the capital." Li Ke said, "Besides, this king is considering letting him enter Qianniuwei. In this way, the only person who can go to Bingzhou with this king is the Yan family."

"Your Highness" Liu Rengui couldn't help but be very moved when he heard Li Ke say that he would recommend him to Qianniuwei, but he still objected, "Let the last general follow you to Bingzhou."
