Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 980

Li Shimin couldn't help muttering in his heart, he didn't expect that Pei Shiju was also a good hand at Si Ni.

Li Yuan is obviously very satisfied with Pei Shiju's suggestion. When discussing with Li Shimin yesterday, he couldn't help but regret it. There are Xue's father and son, Li Gui in Liangzhou, Turks in the north, and Liu Wuzhou's old nest in Hedong. It just so happens that Yu Wenhuaji and Li Mi have been defeated in succession.

Li Yuan pondered for a while, then asked with a smile: "Remember that Huairen wrote a letter, and you have made meritorious deeds?"

Yang Gongren nodded, and took out the memorial from his sleeve, "The King of Handan wrote a letter from Xiaoguan, describing the achievements of the generals in the army, Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, and Weiyang County Duke Zhang Zhongjian's contributions are first-class."

"Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, Zhang Shigui, Duke of Nanyang County, Xue Wanche, Duke of Wu'an County, and Duan Decao, Duke of Pingyuan County, are second-class. There is a detailed list for the rest. In addition, Ji Hujiang general Liu Heier is also listed as second-class."

Li Yuan calculated silently in his heart, that is to say, only Zhang Zhongjian and Liu Hei'er could be promoted to the title, which seems a bit rare.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to look at Pei Shiju with a slightly cold face, what a good trick!

Eyes touched in the air, and the corners of Pei Shiju's mouth curled up slightly, and it was indecent to come and go...You Li Shimin almost played the prince like a monkey just now, and I was just reciprocating.

Sure enough, Li Yuan turned his head and asked, "What about the battle in Jingzhou?"

Yang Gongren insisted on reading the Bo Ji, and pondered for a moment: "The deputy commander, Dou Gui, Duke of the State of Bing, and Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, led the army alone; the chief minister, Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, took care of the logistics; the Duke of Linji County, Kanling, led the Modao team to be sharp. Breaking the formation is all first class."

"Zhang Zhongjian, Duke of Weiyang County, Su Dingfang, Duke of Zhao State, Qian Jiulong, Duke of Changxing County, Inspector of Jingzhou, Hu Yan, Inspector of Ningzhou, Feng Li, General of the Guard of the Right Gate, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Duan of Zouping County, General Ma Sanbao of the Guard of the Left Guard, General Qianniuwei of the Right Li Ke and his teachers are all second-class, and the ministers have to read past official documents."

Li Yuan's expression relaxed, and he nodded with a smile. In the first battle in Jingzhou, there were several county marquises and magistrates, as well as those who had not yet been knighted, which was enough.

Hearing this, Chen Shuda couldn't help but look at Pei Shiju... What a trick, although this move and mud is indeed a good idea, but Pei Shiju actually pushed Feng Li out, and only Hu Yan and Feng Li were among the generals. Li does not have a title.

As far as the current situation is concerned, once Feng Lide confers the title, once he is transferred back to the court...Chen Shuda glanced at the expressionless Li Shimin, and he had to consider that the prince who was probably detested by His Majesty might have changed.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "In the war in Yuanzhou, only Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian were the first to do it?"

"Yes." Yang Gongren was a little surprised, King Qin had read the memorial.

"Both of them are Handan's personal guards..."

"Second brother, be careful!" Prince Li Jiancheng straightened his back and said seriously: "Zhang Zhongjian led eight hundred sharp men to trek long distances and attacked Xiaoguan at night. Su Dingfang led the army to garrison in the snow without retreating. In the end, he was able to break the city. Except Huairen, Are there any other generals who are more successful than these two?"

Even though Pei Shiju has been in officialdom for a long time, he has seen countless strange things, but he couldn't help but have the urge to curse.

And Li Jiancheng is still eloquent, "What's more, in the battle of Jingzhou, Dou Gui and Daoxuan's brothers were first-class because they led the left and right armies alone, while Zhang Zhongjian led the front army alone, charging into battle, and Su Dingfang even led the cavalry. The main force has made great achievements in breaking the formation, but Huairen deliberately suppressed them as second-class because they were from the personal guards."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Zicong returned the army to the court, and he also mentioned that Hu Zizhong, the governor of Ningzhou, once said that Huairen was unfair because of this."

Li Shimin was silent, and only looked sideways at Pei Shiju, with a sarcasm in his eyes that only Pei Shiju could understand... Come on, hurt each other!
Pei Shiju's face was extremely ugly. Before, the King of Qin treated the prince like a monkey, but now he completely treats the prince as a fool!

Pei Shiju knew it well. Today, in the selection of Su Dingfang and Dou Gui, the crown prince chose Su Dingfang... to a large extent, it was because King Qin chose Dou Gui.

Whatever the king of Qin agrees with, the crown prince will definitely oppose.

Whatever the King of Qin objected to, the prince would definitely approve.

This pattern has been going on for several years, and it has become a fixed pattern in Li Jiancheng's heart. He can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Pei Shiju couldn't help but be suspicious. His Majesty said yesterday that today's affairs will be discussed, and Princess Pingyang happened to be the king of Handan who asked him to return to the court to recuperate today. He didn't quite believe it was a coincidence, maybe it was Li Shan or King Qin's tricks.

If this is the case, it means that Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao have already made a choice. Is this the case?

Although Princess Pingyang is not involved in seizing the heir, she is indeed His Majesty's most beloved child. Her husband Huo Guogong Chai Shao is in charge of the palace ban and restrains the Beiya imperial army, and has been under the command of King Qin for a long time, so it is inevitable that there is some love.

Pei Shiju sighed quietly, his plan fell through temporarily, and it was Li Huairen who broke the game, although the other party probably didn't know it.

If Li Shan fails to defeat the Turks and retake Yuanzhou, Pei Shiju will have the opportunity to persuade Li Yuan to choose to move the capital... He also has a way to prevent the king of Qin from leading the army in person. At that time, Pei Shiju will be able to control the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin spatial.

Who would have thought that the Turkic defeat was so miserable, who would have thought that Liang Shidu's trash would lose Xiaoguan even before the New Year.

Li Yuan ordered Zhongshu Province to draw up an imperial edict, calling Li Shan back to the court, and setting the ranks of many generals such as Zhang Zhongjian, Hu Yan, Duan Zhixuan, Feng Li, Qian Jiulong, Kan Ling, Li Keshi, Ma Sanbao, Zhang Bao, etc. The scattered officials of the grassroots generals and schools will be promoted.

The discussion is almost over, and there is only one last thing left, which is also the most difficult thing for Li Yuan and the ministers, how to arrange the Handan King Li Huairen who has invited himself to return to the court to recuperate.

For a while, no one spoke. Li Shan returned to the court after defeating the Turks the year before last, and it was almost the same. That time, Li Shan was a little bit wronged because of the following crimes, but this time it was different... The identity of the coach was dignified and he defeated the Turks. He personally led the army to attack Xiaoguan at night and returned to court due to injury and illness.

Xiao Yu coughed twice, "Your Majesty, the King of Handan was injured and returned to the court to recuperate, so let's wait until he recovers?"

Li Yuan grinned, and peeked at his daughter beside him...Princess Pingyang didn't have any expression this time, she seemed quite indifferent.

"Isn't it right?" Li Jiancheng tentatively said, "Huairen resigned as the commander of the Lingzhou Road Marching, and he only has Qing Si Nong on him. If he has no authority, I'm afraid rumors will spread..."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement, especially on the premise that there were rumors about Li Shan's self-respect in the army, Li Shan returned to the capital by himself, if there is no proper arrangement in the court, there must be rumors in the market, and this will affect the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. That said, is also a hit.

Although he trusts and appreciates it, Li Yuan has to complain in his heart, Li Huairen, Li Huairen, how can you always make so many troubles!
