Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 487

"I think Xiao Siye, Minister of Honglu Temple, is worthy of a great job. Xiao Siye was originally a long history of Shanyu Dadu Protectorate, and he is familiar with Monan."

"The barbarians in Monan all know him, so it is most suitable for him to lead the army. Secondly, Honglu Temple is in charge of the protocol affairs and the affairs of the barbarians of Guiyi. It is most suitable for him to go." Li Jingxuan saluted.

He first recommended to Li Chengqian Xiao Siye, who has experience in working in Monan and is now doing related work, as the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, Xiao Siye also has real materials. He once recruited Xue Yantuo Tumozhi, followed Li Ji and Su Dingfang to crusade against Western Turks, Goguryeo and Uyghur.

He once followed the Sui Yang Emperor and Empress Xiao, who was called the six emperors, to live in Eastern Turkic for a period of time. He said that no one here can compare with Xiao Siye in his understanding of Eastern Turkic.

There is really no more suitable candidate than Xiao Siye. This time, Xiao Siye is sent to crusade against the Eastern Turks, which can calm the emotions of the Turks while fighting.

There may not be so many people who are willing to rebel against people such as Ashi Dewen Fu and Fengzhi, but they are not reconciled.

The most important point is that Xiao Siye and Li Jingxuan are very close, it can be said that they are like-minded, we are all the same, so Li Jingxuan decided to help Xiao Siye.

It is also good for Li Jingxuan that Xiao Siye can obtain meritorious service.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court and hold power tightly, in addition to one's own ability, family background and personal connections are also crucial.

If Xiao Siye could put down the Eastern Turkic rebellion, and after he came back, he would be promoted to a higher rank, and people from his faction would have more say in the court.

"I also think that Xiao Siye is suitable to be the commander-in-chief." Liu Rengui, who has always been a naysayer, unexpectedly came out from the west today, and instead of jumping out to oppose, he supported Li Jingxuan.

Not only Li Chengqian felt the difference, but even Liu Rengui's old opponent Li Jingxuan had his glasses shattered.

He never thought that his opponent Liu Rengui would stand on his side, and he would be very happy if he didn't come out to make trouble for him.

The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and they know each other well. There is no reason for Liu Rengui not to know that he and Xiao Siye have close contacts.

On weekdays, Liu Rengui would fight against him, but today he chose to support him uncharacteristically. There must be something tricky about it.

Li Jingxuan secretly wondered what Liu Rengui's purpose was for doing this?
"Then let Xiao Siye lead the army to pacify the Eastern Turkic rebellion, and restore Shanyu Dadu's jurisdiction over Monan as soon as possible." Li Chengqian also felt that Xiao Siye was suitable.

"Your Majesty! In addition to Xiao Siye as the chief general, I think that two more generals and deputy generals should be sent to assist Xiao Siye to quell the Eastern Turkic rebellion as soon as possible." Liu Ren said.

Sure enough, I knew that things were not that simple, so I was waiting here, Li Jingxuan thought to himself, as if I had already seen through you.

"Who are you going to appoint as deputy?" Li Chengqian said.

"The minister recommends the leading general Hua Dazhi and the right Qianniuwei general Li Jingjia as deputy to assist Xiao Siye in the crusade against the Eastern Turks." Liu Rengui saluted.

But after listening to the person recommended by Liu Rengui, Li Jingxuan was a little confused.

These two people have no contact with Liu Rengui on weekdays, but they are very close to Wu Wang Li Ke, they can be regarded as members of Wu Wang Li Ke's lineage.

But what good would this do for Liu Rengui? After the East Turks were pacified, they rewarded them for their merits, but Liu Rengui didn't get half of the benefits.

On the contrary, the prestige of Li Ke, king of Wu, in the court was even higher. Why did Liu Rengui do this? He never had too much contact with the vassal king on weekdays.

Unless... Li Jingxuan thought of a possibility, unless Liu Rengui voted for Wu Wang Li Ke, he would spare no effort to help Li Ke's family grow stronger.

The more Li Jingxuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"Do you have any objections to Liu Qing's proposal?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I have no objection!" Li Ke said with a salute.

"My minister agrees!"

"Senior minister!" Several ministers who had been taught by Li Ke naturally turned to Li Ke.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Pei Xingjian saluted. He had just received a hint from the emperor and hurriedly supported Liu Rengui's proposal.

He thought it was a competition between Li Jingxuan, Liu Rengui and Wu Wang Li Ke, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Seeing that the situation was falling apart, Li Jingxuan wanted to object, but in the end he had no choice but to keep silent.

"Since there is no objection, let's issue an edict to order Xiao Siye, Minister of Hongyu Temple, to be the chief of the Shanyudao army, with General Hua Dazhi, the leading guard, and Li Jingjia, the general of the right Qianniuwei, as the deputy chief of the army to lead the army to attack the Eastern Turks." Li said. Cheng Qiandao.

On the same day, the emperor's edict was passed on to Xiao Siye, Hua Dazhi, and Li Jingjia, and the three ordered their troops to fight against the rebellious Eastern Turks.

After Li Jingxuan left the main hall, he did not go back, but thought about it for a while. To be on the safe side, he decided to talk to Xiao Siye first to ensure that there would be no accidents in the suppression of the Eastern Turkic Rebellion.

"Patriarch, are we going back to the mansion?" Seeing Li Jingxuan coming out of Xiao Siye's mansion, Li Jingxuan's servant immediately stepped forward to ask.

"No, go to the East Palace." Li Jingxuan said.

"No!" The servant replied, helped Li Jingxuan into the carriage, and drove the carriage towards the East Palace.

Li Jingxuan felt that even if Xiao Siye was confessed, there would be no guarantee that there would be no problems, in order to ensure their power in the court.

He decided to drag Prince Li Jue into trouble as well, as long as he was brought into their camp, they would have no worries in the court, even if they lost power for a while, it didn't matter.

As long as the prince can successfully ascend to the throne in the future, they still have a chance to stand up, and they have not lost.

As for persuading the prince in this way, it is actually very simple. The prince has always been at odds with Li Ke, the king of Wu, as long as he uses the conflict between them to add some oil and vinegar to the prince.

The prince will definitely stand by their side without hesitation.

As for whether his blatant going to see the crown prince would arouse others' suspicion, Li Jingxuan was not worried at all.

Li Jingxuan was not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also the right concubine of Youchunfang in the East Palace, and the prince's tutor, the prince's tutor.

What's more, on weekdays, he usually goes to the East Palace to teach the prince at this time, talk about government affairs, and subtly influence the prince.

Li Jingxuan took the timing just right, so that it would not arouse others' suspicion at all.

The guards guarding the East Palace saw that it was Li Jingxuan's carriage, so they didn't do much to stop him, and let him enter the East Palace unimpeded.

After the carriage entered the East Palace, it stopped, and Li Jingxuan got off the carriage.

"Don't run around, wait here for my return." Li Jingxuan instructed.

"Patriarch, don't worry, I understand what to do!" the servant replied.
