Man Tanghong

Chapter 160 You are in charge?

As long as Li Yuanji took over the post of Shang Shuling of Daxingtai of Hedong Road, they would have completed the task that Li Yuan entrusted to them.

As for the follow-up, it is up to Li Yuan and Li Yuanji to negotiate.

After Li Yuanji heard Xiao Yu's answer, he smiled meaningfully: "Since my father has no other intentions, it's not that I can't take the post of Shang Shuling of Daxingtai of Hedong Road."

Xiao Yu looked a little unnaturally at Li Yuanji's meaningful gaze, but when he heard that Li Yuanji was willing to take over the post of Shang Shuling of Daxingtai of Hedong Road, a smile appeared on his face.

He was really afraid that Li Yuanji would 'offend' again and reject Li Yuan's 'kindness' again.

Li Yuan urged them thousands of times to let Li Yuanji take over the post of Shangshuling of Daxingtai on Hedong Road no matter what.

Although Li Yuan didn't say how he would punish them after he messed up the matter.

But judging from the fact that Li Yuan sent people here every now and then to give instructions and pass on the word, it would be nice for Li Yuan not to have too many of them if the matter was messed up.

So they had to help Li Yuan with this matter.

"Since Your Highness is willing to take over the post of Shang Shuling of Daxingtai of Hedong Road, then I will immediately send someone back to report to the saint."

Xiao Yu spoke without hesitation, he wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "No rush..."

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and said with some trepidation in his heart: "Does Your Highness want to go back on his word?"

Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't mean to regret it, I just think that Hebei Road may be more suitable for me than Hedong Road."

Li Yuanji no longer intends to reject Li Yuan's 'kindness' this time.

Because this time is different from the last time.

This time, the words of the Daxingtai Shangshuling of Hedong Dao, even if they will stimulate Li Shimin, their power is very limited.

After all, he is now the minister of Daxingtai in Xiangnan Road. After he was transferred to Hedong Road, he was only moved flat, and his status did not increase much.

Li Shimin has already been severely stimulated by Li Yuan once, and if he receives some small stimulation, he will not have much reaction.

He had previously rejected Li Yuan's canonization as General Zhenyao, but he didn't want to see Li Shimin being stimulated too hard, causing secession, mutiny, and the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty. It didn't mean that he would give up Li Yuan to him because of Li Shimin's mood. of many benefits.

However, he is not going to follow Li Yuan's mind to be the Minister of the East Dao Daxingtai.

He even hopes to be the Minister of the Daxingtai of Hebei Road.

Because the official governance of Hedong Road has basically taken shape, the interests of various places have also been divided up.

He can play a very small role in Hedong Road.

Hebei Province is different. After several misfortunes, the government has completely collapsed, and the interests of various places are constantly alternating in the hands of different people, and there is no clear master.

So he can play a great role in Hebei Road.

It's just that Hebei Province has suffered a lot. It will take a long time to develop Hebei Province.

But he is not short of time.

"Hebei Road?"

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment. They didn't understand why Li Yuanji wanted to run to Hebei Road, which was already in a mess, instead of the prosperous Hedong Road.

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Yes, Hebei Road."

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda looked at each other.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, this matter is not a transaction between merchants, there is no room for negotiation."

Li Yuanji glanced at Xiao Yu and asked with a smile, "Whether there is room for negotiation is up to you?"

Xiao Yu was stunned.

Indeed, whether there is room for negotiation, Li Yuan has the final say, not him.

But Li Yuanji actually wanted to discuss with Li Yuan on the issue of appointing a Daxingtai Shangshuling. He really didn't know what to say.

A Daxing Taishang Shuling, that is, the highest official of one, governing one, just like governing one's own feudal country.

The power is intimidating, the responsibilities to be borne, and the heavy responsibilities to be shouldered are also intimidating.

It can be said that a Daxingtai Shangshu Order can directly affect the rise and fall of a Daxingtai.

When Li Yuan appointed a Daxingtai Shangshuling, he still had to think carefully.

Li Yuanji actually regarded it as a business, and wanted to discuss it with Li Yuan?

Xiao Yu slowly recovered, stared at Li Yuanji and said solemnly: "I really have nothing to say about this matter, and I will truthfully report His Highness's intentions to the saint. I will also tell His Highness in time how the saint makes a decision. "

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "However, I still want to remind Your Highness a few words. A Daxingtai Shangshu Order affects the rise and fall of a Daxingtai.

Hebei Road has experienced many military disasters, and now it has become a mess.

Hebei Road can no longer stand the toss. "

Chen Shuda nodded in agreement.

Li Yuanji glanced at Xiao Yu, and asked, "Song Guogong doubts my ability to govern the country?"

Xiao Yu clasped his fists slightly and gave a salute, but did not speak.

That's what he meant.

It is to doubt Li Yuanji's ability to govern the local area, and he does not want Li Yuanji to harm the people in Hebei.

The people in Hebei can't stand the disaster anymore.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was silent, Li Yuanji sighed and said, "Maybe I am not as good at governing the country as Song Guogong, but I have many capable people under my command who can help me govern the region."

Ma Zhou, Ling Jing, and even Xue Wanshu are all talents for seeking the country.

With the help of the three of them, plus some ways to make a fortune that Li Yuanji himself knew, Li Yuanji still had the confidence to manage Hebei Road well.

"I naturally don't doubt that His Highness has capable people under his command. I just want to remind His Highness not to spoil the people."

Xiao Yu said solemnly.

What Xiao Yu said was a bit serious, and it could even be said to be a bit offensive.

However, Li Yuanji didn't care about it, "I have my own plans in my heart. Song Guogong only needs to tell my father what I mean."

After saying this, Li Yuanji added another sentence, "Before returning to Chang'an, if my father can't decide on this matter, then whether it is the Daxingtai Shangshuling of the Hedong Road or the Daxingtai Shangshuling of the Hebei Road, I will not Take it again."

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.

Li Yuanji is threatening Li Yuan? !
Li Yuanji is really courageous.

Fortunately, Li Yuanji was Li Yuan's son, otherwise they could have prepared to collect Li Yuanji's body.

Li Yuanji wasn't threatening Li Yuan, he was just bargaining with Li Yuan.

If this matter cannot be settled before returning to Chang'an City, there will be many twists and turns after returning to Chang'an City.

Li Shimin and Li Shimin's people will frantically write a letter to stop this matter.

Li Shimin is likely to pinch him because of this.

He is not willing to fight with Li Shimin yet, nor does he want to deal with a series of troubles caused by arguing with Li Shimin and Li Shimin's people.

Since Li Yuan intends to use him to intimidate Li Shimin, he should help him avoid these things.

"something wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda staring at him without speaking, Li Yuanji questioned.

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda opened their mouths, smiled wryly and did not speak.

Xiao Yu got up first, bowed and said: "I know what Your Highness means, I will tell the saint truthfully, I will leave first."

Chen Shuda also stood up and bowed.

The two escaped from Li Yuanji's tent as if they were running away, as if they didn't want to stay any longer.

……

After leaving Li Yuanji's tent, Xiao Yu sighed with complicated expressions, "He really... dares to say anything."

Chen Shuda nodded in agreement, and sighed: "It means that the saint dotes on them. If the saint does not spoil them, they will never dare to say such things to the saint."

Chen Shuda can be regarded as a former prince, and he knows the emperor's temperament, which determines everything about the princes.

If the emperor is kind to the princes, the princes will naturally be more presumptuous in front of the emperor.

If the emperor is harsh to the princes, the princes can only behave in front of the emperor.

Li Yuanji was very fortunate to have met a benevolent emperor.

He is different.

"He should have guessed the saint's intentions, so he dared to be so presumptuous to the saint."

Xiao Yu pondered and said.

Although Li Yuanji pretended to be confused in front of them from time to time, he couldn't hide his thoughts from them.

Chen Shuda nodded again, and said: "The sage's intention has never changed. He can guess the sage's intention to make him General Zhenyao, and he can also guess the sage's decision to make him Daxingtai Shangshuling of Hedong Road. intention."

Xiao Yu sighed and said: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang was not so smart in the past."

Chen Shuda said dumbfoundedly: "It's not just smart, it's so smart that it's hard to resist."

In Chen Shuda's view, "gaming" with Li Yuanji is far more tiring than "gaming" with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's purpose is clear. Although they like to beat around the bush, they don't speak "crazy words". Therefore, even if it is difficult to guess what Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are thinking, he can guess one or two.

Li Yuanji is different.

Since Li Yuanji became smarter, no one could guess what his purpose was.

Not only does he like to beat around the bush when he speaks, but he often utters 'crazy words', which startle him for a moment.

So Li Yuanji's mind, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Do you think the saint will agree to King Qi's request?"

Xiao Yu asked with a wry smile.

Chen Shuda thought for a while, then sighed, "The sage will probably agree."

Li Yuan wanted to support Li Yuanji and check and balance Li Shimin, but he didn't really want Li Yuanji to govern.

Both Hedong Road and Hebei Road are east of Shandong Road, no matter which Daxingtai Shangshu Order is appointed, it can have the same effect.

So Li Yuan has no reason not to agree.

"Saint..."

Xiao Yu sighed.

He kind of wanted to 'vomit' Li Yuan.

He felt that Li Yuan was just messing around.

Li Shimin's rise to power has affected Li Jiancheng, and even faintly affected Li Yuan. What Li Yuan should do most is to constantly weaken Li Shimin and help Li Jiancheng become stronger.

Only in this way can Li Shimin be suppressed.

But Li Yuan didn't do this, but supported Li Yuanji to fight Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji has been supported, whether he will fight with Li Shimin or not will not be discussed.

If Li Yuanji also cared about that position.

How should Li Yuan respond?

The two sons with heavy soldiers in their hands are eyeing the city of Chang'an. Li Yuan, let alone let Li Jiancheng take over, even his own throne may not be secure.
