Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 320 The East Palace

Seeing Wei Zheng coming out, Luo Yi was not surprised. He knew that Wei Zheng and Wei Ting in the East Palace had contacts with Li Shanduo, and the former was even kind to Wei Zheng.

Without waiting for Luo Yi to defend, Wei Zheng said loudly: "In the Shandong war, Li Huairen was hunted down all the way to the south. He saw the Turks raging in Hebei, and saw that there were no smokers and dogs barking in the village. If he had the ability, wouldn't he just sit in the city?"

"If you can persevere..."

Luo Yi only said four words, and Wei Zheng interrupted sharply, "I set off with Huairen and stopped by the river bank, doesn't he know?"

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly. This matter was discussed a few months ago... Li Shan, the only one who went north from Shaanxi Road to Shandong, was well aware of it when he was surrounded by Guantao and cut off news. It is impossible for Li Yuanji, king of Qi of Wan Dajun, to help.

In other words, Li Shan's planning for a great victory made Donggong's calculations come to nothing, but it was not Li Shan's original intention.

Uh, I can't say that there is a problem with the direction of consideration, it's just that they haven't read time travel novels...

Zheng Shanguo said with a smile: "Young Yingjie is full of spirits. Since he has the ability, he should rise up."

"In Qinghe County that day, the King of Huaiyang sat and watched. He saw the rebellion and civil unrest. Huairen beheaded Cui Bo to put an end to the chaos. Although he lost his strength, he saw his heart." Wu Huairen made a decisive decision, and the prince's virtue will be damaged."

This time Wang Gui, Xu Shimo and others nodded their heads one after another. Even Zheng Shanguo, whose mother was from the Qinghe Cui family, also nodded and said yes.

Chaos was about to break out that day, and the Qin King's lineage headed by Li Daoxuan watched coldly, hoping...the crown prince snatched the power to appease Shandong, but in the end, Shandong rebelled for the third time.

This is also the main reason why Li Jiancheng treats Li Shan quite favorably and doesn't regard him as the lineage of King Qin... Although Ling Jing joined Tiance Mansion after the war.

Wang Gui said slowly: "Since Li Huairen returned to Beijing, he first became famous for his poetic talents, and then he saved Princess Pingyang, and was favored by saints. He was awarded the title of Tao County Duke because of planning the Shandong war... But after careful inspection, he became an official through the imperial examination. , there is no taboo in communication, and there is no bias."

Luo Yi is good at battle and also likes to plot, but his tongue is not his forte, his face was red when he was insulted, at this time he couldn't choose what to say, and said angrily: "These people can't be used by Your Highness, you should get rid of them!"

"This statement is ridiculous!" Wei Zheng was furious. "There are many officials and celebrities in the world. Now that the King of Qin is spying on the East Palace, His Highness should recruit heroes to respond to him, but it is definitely not an either-or!"

"If you can't use it for His Highness, you have to get rid of it. Once it gets out, all the talents in the world will fall into King Qin's trap!"

Li Jiancheng nodded again, thinking that since his second brother returned to Beijing the year before last, he has been vigorously recruiting Yingjie... Luo Yi, this is really a bad idea!

Zheng Shanguo said slowly: "Xuan Chengyan just now, as a prince, you can't overstep."

Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, he raised his hand to signal Luo Yi to shut up, and said softly: "Huai Ren is favored by father...Yan Chao, I alone asked the Crown Princess to choose a noble girl from a famous family."

Luo Yi gritted his teeth secretly, but he had to stand up and thank his eldest son. After all, since the Sui Dynasty, he had served in the local military and knew little about court affairs, not to mention Zheng Shanguo's oblique words, so...

But Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng and others all understood that now that the East Palace and the King of Qin have seized the throne, many officials in the court have a choice, but not every official will choose a leader. A considerable number of officials are only loyal to Li Yuan, or loyal to Li Yuan. Li Tang.

A young talent is valued by Li Yuan, but the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace insists on being gentle and courteous, is it necessary?

Zheng Shanguo's words are a warning, a warning to Li Jiancheng to grasp the scale... Since ancient times, there has always been a subtle distance between the emperor and the prince.

However, Yang Yong, the former Sui prince, did not grasp the scale.

Glancing at the gloomy Luo Yi, Li Jiancheng also felt powerless, wondering whether he should reveal the truth in private.

Luo Yi hated Li Huairen deeply, simply because he felt that Li Shan had robbed your daughter-in-law and made Luo Shi lose face... But in fact, he had already hooked up with him. Shan lashed out.

In comparison, Luo Yang couldn't compare with Li Shan in any aspect... he couldn't even match his boxing skills, and he was beaten like that.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and changed the subject, "Today, King Wu will discuss the matter in Liangyi Palace. I don't know if it will be helpful to the war in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The head of Dou Jiande was beheaded the year before last, and Shandong rebelled twice." Wang Gui stroked his beard and said, "But it's not the same."

Both Wei Zheng and Zheng Shanguo nodded in agreement. Among the people present, although they had different backgrounds, both of them were captured by the Xia army, and Wei Zheng even served in the Xia Dynasty.

Although Dou Jiande was born in a township, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread throughout Shandong, so he received widespread sympathy after he was beheaded. In addition, the Tang army hunted and arrested Shandong twice, which led to Shandong's rebellion twice.

But this kind of thing is unlikely to happen in Jiangnan, let alone Du Fuwei. The Jianghuai Army has always been known for its fierceness and often kills. Du Fuwei himself is also known for his hot hands.

Li Jiancheng thought in his heart that beheading Du Fuwei would be helpful for the army to suppress. Although Li Shiji was in the Six Route Army, there was also Ren Gui, and more importantly, there were Li Xiaogong and Li Jing.

Now Li Jiancheng no longer expects to establish prestige in the army, but he absolutely does not want to see the generals of Qin Wang's line continue to make contributions.

While he was thinking, the crown prince Zuowei led Wei Tingda into the hall with a dignified expression.

Li Jiancheng was a little surprised, he and Wei Ting were close friends when they were young, and he knew that this friend had never been serious and was used to making fun of him, so it was rare to see him like this.

"Your Highness." Wei Ting walked quickly to the main seat, "Just now, the saint ordered Princess Pingyang to recruit the old troops to Beijing, enrich the left and right prison gate guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards, all under the control of Princess Pingyang."

There was a sudden commotion in the hall, Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Gui and Wei Zheng... Persuading his father to recall Princess Pingyang was the idea of ​​these two confidantes. Although it was quite difficult, it finally paid off.

Li Tang followed the Sui system and set up sixteen guards. The first twelve guards led the soldiers from all over the world, and the last four guards were mainly based on the recruitment system.

Li Yuan asked Princess Pingyang to lead the Beiya Forbidden Army, which can be interpreted as his trust in her, after all, he entrusted his family and life.

It can also be explained that Li Yuan is trying to balance the battle for the succession. After all, Princess Pingyang is the only character in the Tang army who can compare with Li Shimin in terms of prestige and influence, and Princess Pingyang has no obvious stance in the struggle for succession.

It can also be interpreted as Li Yuan's vigilance against his second son Li Shimin. After all, although the private armed forces of the Qin Palace in Beijing do not have much advantage in numbers, in terms of force and control over the army, let alone Li Jiancheng, even Li Yuan is hard to compare.

But no matter how it is explained, this is good news for Donggong, and it is also news destined to shake the entire city of Chang'an.
