Tiantang Splendid

4255 - Pull you on board
Li Chengqian and Cen Wenwen looked at each other, after careful consideration, they both felt that this was a good idea, so they unanimously agreed.

Fang Jun didn't show arrogance, but became more humble. Actually, this method is safe, but it's not very subtle. How can it be impossible to think of it with the wisdom of Li Ji and Cen Wenwen?
It's just that Li Jicen's texts can hide his clumsiness and avoid unnecessary suspicion, but his Fang Jun can't. After all, his interests have long been tied to Li Chengqian.

Li Ji also seemed to feel the faint dissatisfaction of Li Chengqian and Fang Jun, coughed lightly, and added: "Who will you choose to serve as the deputy general at Xuanwu Gate? In addition, some things are unlikely to happen even if they haven't happened yet, but necessary precautions But there must be."

Cen Wenwen nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be, even more so with precautionary measures."

Fang Jundao: "Brother Jingyang learns about Tongmin, round outside and square inside. He can be the deputy general of Xuanwumen."

Li Ji's face darkened, and he was displeased.

"Brother Jingyang" in Fang Jun's mouth is the name of Li Ji's eldest son, Li Zhen...

Obviously, Fang Jun was just taking revenge for forcing him to express his measures against Li Daozong just now.

Cen Wenwen stroked his beard, looked at Li Ji's ugly expression, his heart suddenly felt relieved, but his face was full of sadness: "Li Jingyang is both civil and military, and he is the best of the younger generation, but these heroes are eager to love your son. It is a pity for such an outstanding person, but I don’t know if I can release the unicorn in the mansion this time, to be loyal to the country in times of crisis, and to face difficulties?”

Since you want to stay out of the matter and watch the fire from the other side again and again, then this time not only will you not be able to get out, but your whole family will also have to be pulled in.

Seeing an old fox like Li Ji reap the consequences, Cen Wenwen's heart became clear...

After all, Li Chengqian is a kind person. Seeing Li Ji's ugly face, he couldn't bear it, and said: "The eldest son of Yinggong has been sick all year round, and his muscles and bones are weak. Yinggong loves him so much that he should take care of him. He should go to Xuanwumen to serve as a candidate for the deputy general." Pick someone else."

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Ji's previous involvement, he was already on his side at this moment, so it was not easy to force him too much.

Fang Jun nodded and looked at Li Ji with apologetic expression: "I'm being rude, but the current situation is unpredictable. I want to find someone who is both loyal and has the status to prevent Jiangxia County King from resolutely opposing him to serve as the deputy general of Xuanwumen. It's really hard, I can't think of others for a while, so I hope Grandpa Ying is not to blame."

Damn!Li Ji almost spit on this guy's face, what else can I say when you talk about this?
I had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "The dog has little talent, little knowledge, and little ambition, so these years I dare not let him enter the official career, so as not to be ambitious and harm others. But since the Duke of Yue recommended it, and Taifu Cen approved it, how can I refuse? Let the dog Join the Xuanwu Sect, if you don’t do well and delay the military aircraft, I will take it personally.”

He is not an arrogant person, but he is extremely confident in his eldest son's ability. The reason why he has not been allowed to enter the official career is that he has been ill for many years and his internal organs are sick, which leads to shortness of breath and lack of energy. Especially as the eyeliner who monitors Li Daozong, a slight negligence will make a big mistake.

But at this point, if you continue to refuse, I'm afraid Li Chengqian will lose his temper no matter how good-tempered it is-cooperating with your Li family at a critical moment when the imperial power is turbulent and the society is unstable, you only have one Li Siwen, and the rest are sitting aside. See success or failure, right?
The consequences are too serious, so serious that even with Li Ji's feats, status, and strength, he would never dare to bear it...

But what I have to say is that, regardless of other factors, Li Zhen's background is indeed the best candidate for the deputy general of the Xuanwu Sect.

Li Chengqian said happily: "If that's the case, it's hard work for Jingyang."

He was willing to see Li Ji tied up with himself as the emperor in any way. After all, with Li Ji's current status, Fang Jun still couldn't compare with him, especially his prestige and influence in the army.

But he is convinced that in time Fang Jun will surpass Li Ji and become No. 1 in the Tang military, inheriting the mantle of Li Jing and Li Ji. At that time, it will not matter what Li Ji thinks, does, and stands for.

He is willing to give honor to the meritorious veterans, honor his life, and be kind to future generations. It is also a good thing to write a good story about the monarch and ministers together, but if he really has to part ways, he will not feel embarrassed because of it...

Li Jigong said in a loud voice: "It is really the duty of this humble minister to be able to relieve His Majesty's worries and problems."

After this matter was agreed upon, Li Chengqian asked again: "So, how to prevent problems before they happen?"

Li Ji said: "Naturally, the troops will be transferred directly into the city, and they will be banned by the guards."

Now there are about [-] imperial guards in the Taiji Palace. Such a small force is not enough to withstand the possible surprise attack from the Xuanwu Gate, but it is not difficult to station more than [-] troops in the Taiji Palace of Nuo Da. Only when you enter the palace can you be sure.

The question is which general and which unit to transfer, even Li Daozong is not trusted now, who else can be trusted above Li Daozong?
Li Ji and Cen Wenwen looked at Fang Jun together.

Fang Jun froze for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "It's not because I don't want to face the difficulties and devote myself to it. It's true that there are no generals or soldiers under my command now. How can I take on the big responsibility?"

Emperor Taizong deprived him of the position of General Youtunwei, and he was not even a minister of the Ministry of War. How could there be a single soldier under his command?It can barely be said that the navy under his command is still thousands of miles away, so he can't be allowed to be stationed in Taiji Palace and Suwei Palace as a bare-handed commander.

Li Ji was clearly prepared, and without thinking about it, he said: "Although the Right Tunwei is now under the command of Li Daozong, all the troops are your old troops, especially Cheng Wuting's troops are strong and loyal, and can be transferred to the palace. , by you to command and defend the palace defense."

Fang Jun shook his head and said: "Since the safety of Xuanwu Gate has become the top priority, then both inside and outside of Xuanwu Gate must be strictly defended. If the troops of the right guards are dispersed, the frontier defense inside the palace will be empty, and the hidden dangers are too great."

He couldn't figure out Li Ji's intention for a while, did he want to take advantage of the trend to split up Youtunwei?

Li Jidao: "Chai Zhewei's defeat this time is a heinous crime. Since His Majesty forgives his crimes and allows him to perform his crimes and meritorious deeds, he must do his best to serve the king. With him reorganizing the left guards outside the Xuanwu Gate, and Gao Kan leading most of the right guards, It is enough to protect the security outside the Xuanwu Gate."

Cen Wenwen nodded directly: "Yes."

As a civil servant, he is naturally opposed to a military commander. Although he doesn't understand what Li Ji thinks at the moment, since there are differences within the military, he should try his best to push the boat forward, and there is absolutely no reason to oppose it.

Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun full of hope: "Does Erlang think it's feasible?"

Among the ruling and opposition parties, Fang Jun is the only one who can gain his unreserved trust. He would like to see Fang Jun lead the army into the Taiji Palace to guard the palace and protect his safety.

Looking at Li Chengqian's eyes, Fang Jun could only nod his head and said: "This minister is willing to die for His Highness!"

After all, he followed the advice of the old thief Li Ji. When he settled in the palace, he was trapped in the palace. Naturally, he could not control the court situation and changes in the situation from the outside. , Sweeping more benefits born of the war.

From this point of view, it was in Li Ji's expectation that he recommended Li Zhen to serve in the Xuanwu Sect just now, and even causing his dissatisfaction was intentional.

Really scheming...

……

Li Ji acted vigorously and vigorously. Li Zhen had already arrived at Xuanwumen to report on the matter that was decided in the morning.

Li Daozong led the civil servants under the Xuanwu Gate to receive the order. After the servant who passed the order left, he stood up and looked at Li Zhen with a smile. The meaning of the smile was unclear, and he said lightly: "Your Honor is willing to let Dalang become an official now?"

Li Zhen has a handsome appearance and a good temperament. He smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said respectfully: "At present, the rebels are in chaos and the country is unstable. We will do our best to serve His Majesty like Jiangxia County King, so as to stabilize the country and protect the integrity. Shuo, how dare you continue to swim under the Linquan and be protected by the teacher?"

Li Daozong nodded and said: "It's very good."

Said to the long history beside him: "Take General Li into the post."

"Here." Chang Shi responded, bowing slightly to Li Zhen: "General Li, please."

Li Zhen saluted Li Daozong: "The last general will take his leave now."

"Ah."

Li Daozong hummed, looked at the figure of Li Zhen going to the barracks to apply for a job with Chang Shi, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and looked at the big inner heavy gate opposite to Xuanwu Gate, as if his eyes could penetrate the heavy city gate Seeing the magnificent and solemn Tai Chi Palace behind...

He naturally understands the purpose of His Majesty sending Li Zhen to serve as a lieutenant by his side, not just for surveillance, but also for advice. As long as Li Daozong guards Xuanwu Gate in an orderly manner to ensure the safety of Taiji Palace, then no matter what happened in the past, thereafter All can be written off.

But if he is obsessed with obsession, then he must avoid Li Zhen before raising troops. This is obviously impossible. If he died in the Xuanwu Gate and died in the hands of Li Daozong, then the two parties must have deep hatred and great hatred.

It can be regarded as completely binding Li Ji to the emperor's ship in disguise...

Li Daozong withdrew his gaze, walked up the steps to Xuanwumen City with a heavy heart, stood in front of the arrow stack and overlooked the left and right guard camps below the city. Chai Zhewei has escaped the severe punishment of the military law and is currently recruiting soldiers, repairing ordnance, and reorganizing the army.

On the other hand, in the Youtunwei barracks on the other side, Cheng Wuting is gathering his soldiers to enter the Taiji Palace from Xuanwu Gate to guard the palace. The deployment of personnel, transportation of supplies, and assembly of soldiers are all in order. It can be seen that Gao Kanzhi's talent is several times better than that of Chai Zhewei. more than.

But after all, Youtunwei is the army that Fang Jun took over from Li Daliang. Even after reorganization and the implementation of the recruitment system in the army, and a change of blood up and down, the old army structure cannot be easily erased. How many members of Li Daliang's team were left behind, how many people insisted on the righteousness of the generals, and how many people have been recruited and bought by Gao Kan and others, it is impossible to clarify.

One can see the whole leopard at a glance, the Right Tunwei is like this, and the situation in the whole court is also like this. Who knows how many different ambitions those ministers of civil and military affairs and aristocratic families who claim to respect the new emperor have?

Victory or defeat is yet to be determined.
