Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The episode slightly enlivens the atmosphere, but the troubles still exist.

Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and worried in his heart. In most ancient dynasties, the relationship between the so-called monarchs and ministers was definitely not a master-servant relationship. Li Yuangui was the master of the world, but he had to follow the rules.

How to deal with this matter, Li Yuan is really difficult to decide.

In name, Li Shan led Tang Qi to go north to pursue the Turks, throwing off Li Jing in the rear army. This move was actually to seize the army, which is a bit taboo to say.

But this is not incomprehensible, nor is it inexplicable. On the one hand, Li Yuan can understand the anger in Li Shan's heart, and even Li Jing delays the time to send troops... Behind him is the edict issued by Li Yuan.

On the other hand, Li Jing was not present as the chief general. Li Shan, who had been in charge of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion for a long time before, had sufficient reasons and ability to lead his army to pursue quickly.

In the final analysis, Li Yuan's edict was the trigger for all these troubles... It is impossible for Li Yuan to reprimand Li Jing for delaying the dispatch of troops by himself, let alone for shooting the Khan Banner and chasing and killing Xieli, so as to defeat the Turks Li Shan.

How to deal with this matter... Li Yuan is troubled, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are also troubled. The father and son are all thinking about the same problem. What should we do next?
If it is said that at the beginning of the year, Li Shan had a great victory in Yanmen and captured Yugu Shi alive, but because of his young age and lack of official position, in the end he only took the governor's office as acting governor Shi Zhang.

But this time the Turks were defeated, such a meritorious service, and Li Shan has already been included in the clan, canonized as the county king, and in addition to his year in Daizhou, everyone obeyed... He must have obeyed. I didn't see Li Shan going north, and all the generals They were taken away in one go, and the only thing left behind was Qin Wutong, who did not include Li Jing's name on the memorial.

Therefore, Li Shancai is the best candidate to be the acting governor.

Moreover, the acting governor is also the most suitable position for Li Shan.

Li Shimin thought in his heart that for such a great achievement, there must be a reward when he returns to the court... Generally speaking, there are three kinds of rewards, one is wealth and land servants, the other is titles, and the third is promotion.

However, although Li Shan is greedy for money, he has a good way of making money. He has been canonized as the king of the county and has no chance of promotion, so he can only be promoted... Unless he goes north to pursue and suffers a big defeat, he will definitely be promoted.

But young and weak, it is unlikely that the court can find a good position for Li Shan to be promoted. Even if there is... Li Yuan, down to the courtiers, I am afraid that they will not agree.

Considering that Li and Tang used the county king to guard important areas, Daizhou, where Li Shan had been staying for nearly a year, was the most suitable position for him.

But in this case, what should Li Jing do?
Li Jing served as Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Jiangnan Road, and the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Government... Such an important minister returned to the court, and basically he would definitely enter the three provinces as the prime minister.

Not to mention that Li Jing was driven away by Li Shan... Li Shimin felt a headache for Li Yuan when he thought about it. The most important thing is that in the eyes of many people, these two are Li Yuan's people. This is an internal struggle.

Li Jiancheng didn't care much at first, because the East Palace had been trying to win over Li Jing, but the effect was not very great, but after Pei Shiju's reminder, he suddenly realized... In the current situation, it is useless to add flowers to the cake.

"The Turks attacked Guji Town for eight days. Of the [-] soldiers, only [-] warriors left the city to fight to the death. There are only a few survivors..." Li Jiancheng peeped into Li Yuan's expression, and said softly, "I heard Wei Zheng and Wei Ting mention it, Huairen The guards around him are extremely friendly...the casualties are so heavy, I'm afraid that I hate him to the bone, so I don't care about it and lead my troops to pursue?"

Li Yuan glanced sideways at the eldest son, you and Simu are not like that!
You have a good idea, just find a reason to get over there, but don't think about whether Li Shan can tolerate it!
When it comes to life and death, Li Shan hates Li Jing even more, not to mention Xue Wanche, the general of the Eastern Palace. Are you afraid of losing the heart of an official?
What's more, although Li Shan is young, he has deep thoughts, and Qin Wutong and Er Zhu Yichen are generals under Li Jing's direct command, so they dare to mention only Li Shan in the memorial, not Li Jing, and they don't even have Li Jing's name attached to them... ... Li Yuan guessed that Li Shan had probably explained it.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that Daidi had been dilapidated for many years, and it gradually prospered until Li Shan took office. Li Shan's prestige in Daidi was unmatched by Li Jing. Even if Li Jing rushed to the army now, it would be of no avail.

Indeed, Li Shan did privately mention to Qin Wutong that the latter hadn't made up his mind and hesitated for a long time. In the end, Daizhou Simaer Zhu Yichen, who stayed behind at Yanmen Pass, made the decision.

The father and son were all thinking about what to do after the battle, but Princess Pingyang didn't think about it any more, and read the letter again, recalling the description of the tragic battle by the personal guards, and mentioning Li Shan's bravery in personally charging in a tone of admiration , couldn't help sighing: "Wearing five wounds, still has arrow wounds, but still leads troops to pursue..."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled slightly, that fellow has this temper, he is gentle and refined on weekdays, but when things come to an end, he is decisive and strong, when he beheaded Qinghe Cui's children in Qinghe County in front of everyone, and wanted to set up an attack on Yanmen Pass to no avail, that fellow sent troops After smashing it, Xueye actually chased him and captured him alive.

At this time, Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and his face was quite happy, "By the way, Huairen is injured!"

Hearing her father's cheerful tone and joyful tone, Princess Pingyang's face darkened and her eyes widened, "Huiren fought for the state affairs, and now he is making great achievements, why is father happy?!"

"Uh, absolutely nothing..." Li Yuan was a little embarrassed, and pushed his hands again and again, "No for my father, don't talk nonsense in Pingyang..."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at this scene speechlessly. His father is getting old, so he really has a bad brain, right?

The reason why Li Shan is difficult to place is that neither Li Yuan nor the crown prince nor the king of Qin really want his superior acting state governor, but if he returns to the court, it will be difficult to find a suitable position... The first great victory of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks, and He still defeated Jieli Khan who brought an army of 20 to the south. If you can't be promoted to a noble for such a feat, you should be promoted.

But if Li Shan is injured... then the sage Li Yuan used this as an excuse to let Li Shan recuperate and give him more land and money... But you always have this thought, and you finally found a reason, so you can't laugh like this.

"Huiren is wounded by an arrow, call him back to Beijing immediately!" Li Jiancheng had just said something, and saw Princess Pingyang's face was not very good-looking.

Li Shimin coughed twice, "The third sister heard that Li Shan, the king of Handan, died in the battle outside Guji Town. She fought bravely and wore several wounds. She was worried and sent the imperial physician north..."

Li Yuan nodded again and again, but Erlang could speak... In the name of Pingyang, it was logical, and at the same time brought hints.

"Wait for the follow-up battle report first." Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Princess Pingyang, "Don't worry, the Turks are fleeing, and the [-] Tang troops are chasing them. Even though it is difficult to win, they will surely retreat."

Regardless of Li Jiancheng's expression, Princess Pingyang turned her head to look at Li Shimin, who also nodded slightly in agreement.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin are both generals who are good at using cavalry. They know very well that with the impact of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, the greatest possibility of chasing the fleeing Turkic cavalry is that they will not be able to catch up, followed by a small gain, and finally retreat. The possibility of being trapped is almost non-existent.
