Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 719

Changsun Wuji thought to himself: "Your Majesty, you said this yourself. I didn't mention it. I just hinted at you not long ago. However, since you proposed it, I have to oppose it. I would like to ask you It means that I look down on this son of yours, old minister!"

Shaking his head, Changsun Wuji was the same as usual. Normally, whenever others mentioned Li Ke's name, he would have a serious expression, pick his nose and eyes, and even if he praised a few words, he would often have to add a few ugly words later.Just like the last time he said that Li Ke was sensible and started to study the situation of the enemy country, he only praised a few words, and then said that Li Ke loved to watch Goguryeo's singing and dancing, and he was just a plaything.

This time he was no exception. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Wu is a man who is a bit promising, but he is a small one. He has indeed studied the customs of Goguryeo, but his ability to do things is too poor, what can he do?" , can only build a canal in Gyeongju. Although sending someone to repair Goguryeo is not considered a major military affairs, but the old minister thinks that he can't handle it well. Anyone can be sent to do this. Why do you have to send him? !"

Li Shimin knew that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't like Li Ke. It wasn't a day or two since he said bad things about Li Ke, and he was used to it.Li Shimin smiled, shook his head, and said: "Wuji, before I mentioned Ke'er, you said that this matter must be sent to someone who understands Goguryeo, and you are worried that no one in the court understands Goguryeo. Whoever should go. But once I said I would send Ke’er, why did you send anyone?”

Changsun Wuji frowned, and said: "Well, King Wu is the prince, so don't take risks. Yingzhou is very dangerous, so you should send someone else to go. As a prince, King Wu can't take risks, he should be honest. Just stay in Gyeongju."

Li Shimin sighed, greatly disapproving.All fathers in the world are the same. They all hope that their sons will be promising. Even if a certain son is not the one he loves the most, he still hopes that this son can be the leader. Take a step back and say that he can’t be the leader, but he can always be the one. Bar.What father would want his son to be a dude?
Seeing grandson Wuji belittle Li Ke repeatedly, Li Shimin felt a little unhappy. He said, "Wuji, no matter what, Ke'er is also your nephew. Why do you look down on him so much? I hope he can temper himself a bit. Regarding the matter of Yingzhou, firstly, he came to understand Goguryeo, and secondly, there is no real danger. He can take advantage of the situation and let him lead the troops to learn about the army. Isn’t that a good thing. Then you say, don’t send him, Who to send?"

Changsun Wuji also pretended not to be happy, he said: "Since you want to train and understand the military, why not let the prince train and understand? This kind of opportunity does not always come across, why not send the prince, but Send Wu Wang?"

The way he spoke was a bit protective, and he wanted to draw on Li Zhi for any good deeds, but he didn't want to take advantage of Li Ke.

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Wuji, you, what can I say about you? The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat. It's different who you send. Well, no more talking, just send Ke Let's go, give him more opportunities, let him become mature and experienced, and after training, won't he be a good helper for Zhi'er in the future, fighting brothers, fighting father and son soldiers, being Zhi'er's wings, how can there be anything like a relative Brother is better!"

Changsun Wuji sighed, and said: "If the emperor insists on doing this, then the old minister can only agree, but...but you can't let the king of Wu lead troops. Well, it's impossible not to bring troops. Anyway, you can't bring government soldiers, just bring troops. The county soldiers are enough, let him recruit on the spot!"

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Anyway, you won't be happy if you don't give Ke'er some trouble!" He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then follow Wuji, we won't mobilize the government soldiers for Ke'er For military power, he is only allowed to recruit county soldiers on the spot. In fact, there is no large number of government soldiers in Yingzhou, only Youzhou has it, and it doesn't matter whether he is given military power or not!"

Changsun Wuji said, "It's better to be clear, lest he use chicken feathers as an arrow, and if he can't handle Yingzhou's affairs, he will ask Youzhou for soldiers, making the people think that a big battle is going to happen." Well, once the people's hearts are unstable, wouldn't it be disasters."

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile, and said: "Okay, I'll follow Wuji. Then this imperial edict, why don't you write it? Isn't that okay?"

Changsun Wuji curled his lips and said, "It's better to let Shi Zhongchen write. The old minister's wrist hurts and he can't lift his pen!"

"Really, it's all over the sky, why do you still look like a child!" Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry, he was quite old, and he still had a childish temper, so let people laugh!

He said again: "Wuji, what I mean is that in the imperial edict, you kindly comforted Ke'er a few words, and let him thank you, thank you for giving him a chance to temper. After he returns to Beijing, your uncle and nephew Let's meet again, so that I won't be like a cockfight any more, which will upset me!"

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji reluctantly said: "Okay, let the old minister write it. However, the old minister thinks that King Wu is not the best candidate. Otherwise, let's discuss it and change someone!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Wuji, you can let me take it easy and write quickly!" He closed his eyes and pretended to rest, expressing that he didn't want to argue with his grandson Wuji any more.

Changsun Wuji still had a serious expression, but his heart was full of joy.Well, I have always been against this matter. If one day, that little bastard Li Ke turns into a demon, no wonder I will not be merciful if I repair him. Whoever let him fail the emperor? There is a lot of expectation!

Let the little eunuch spread the paper and grind the ink, and Changsun Wuji picked up the pen, and within a moment, he wrote the imperial edict.He said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has finished writing, do you want to read it?"

Li Shimin hummed and said, "Read it, I'm listening!"

Changsun Wuji read the imperial edict once, Li Shimin opened his eyes after listening, and said with a smile: "Wuji, you are right to do this, I always know that you are a person who knows the general situation, and you will not take this kind of thing as a joke." !"

The imperial edict written by Changsun Wuji, with sincere words, comforted Li Ke and encouraged him to handle the Goguryeo affairs well, not to disappoint his father's expectations for him, and transferred Li Ke to Yingzhou, which was added. , Added the title of Governor of Yingzhou, and can act cheaply on military and political matters in Yingzhou!
Li Ke played Yangmou in the hope that he could be transferred to Yingzhou, so that he could collect taxes on his own and turn Yingzhou into a small semi-independent kingdom, but Changsun Wuji could not really do this for him. The addition of the title of governor is just a bit of real power, but it is also limited.

But in Li Shimin's eyes, he thought that Changsun Wuji had already made a major concession, and the relationship between uncle and nephew had been initially improved.

Changsun Wuji sealed the edict and sent messengers to Yingzhou to announce the edict. Li Ke can go to Yingzhou.

After finishing this matter, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the bed, and said with a smile: "Wuji, after this incident, Ke'er will respect you even more in the future, and I hope that you will see me again in the future." He, don't blow your beard and stare anymore. In fact, Ke'er is the most like me, the better you treat him, the better he will treat you!"

Changsun Wuji didn't appreciate this, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The one who most resembles you is not the King of Wu, but the Crown Prince. There must be no mistake about this!"

Li Shimin had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, you are right, Zhi'er resembles me the most, and he resembles me the most!" Sighing in his heart, if you want to say who Zhi'er resembles, it is true that he resembles his mother, but he resembles me. ... Oh, how does he look like me? If he looks like me, why should I worry so much!
A few days later, Gyeongju.

Li Ke finally got the imperial edict he had dreamed of. He became the governor of Yingzhou. After receiving the edict, he will set off for Liaodong in a few days.

Li Ke was delighted in his heart. He never thought that this matter would go so smoothly. I don't know what method Changsun Wuji used to get his father to agree to go to Yingzhou. a governor.But it doesn't matter, the governor is also very good. He is in charge of the military and political power of a state, and he can also recruit county soldiers and train his own army. This is the power he wants most.

Li Ke took the imperial decree, showed it to Pu Junnan, and said, "Brother Pu, Chang'an's decree says that the king is required to do things cheaply. I'm afraid it means that the county soldiers recruited by my police station will go to Goguryeo to harass you, right? No. It's too specific, I don't know if this king is thinking wrong?"

Pu Junnan also didn't quite understand, and said: "It seems to be true. It is impossible for this kind of thing to be clearly written in the imperial decree. Otherwise, if it spreads out, wouldn't it damage the majesty of the kingdom?"

Li Ke thought to himself: "Father can't possibly know that I am dealing with Goguryeo people now, and the handwriting of this imperial decree is written by Changsun Wuji. It is estimated that it means sending troops to harass Goguryeo. This is a good move, and it can drag Goguryeo to exhaustion." It doesn’t cost anything, it’s a way to support war with war.”

He said: "No matter what it means, in short, if the king can go to Yingzhou, everything will be fine. I will talk to Wang Ping'an, and then we will set off. I don't want to stay in Qingzhou for a moment."

Pu Junnan didn't want to stay here too much, after all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, it's too dangerous, so go early and quickly, the closer you are to Goguryeo, the better!
Li Ke sent someone to look for Wang Pingan again. This time he was not afraid that Wang Pingan would hide from him, so he just hid. Anyway, Wang Pingan was responsible for the delay.

But this time he sent someone to look for him, and Wang Ping'an was found.As soon as Wang Pingan got the news, he rushed to Maling County immediately. Not only did he come to see him off, but he even sent him the travel expenses, a total of one thousand guan, which he said was for Li Ke's expenses on the road.

Li Ke collected the travel expenses, said a few clichés to Wang Ping'an, and then sent Wang Ping'an away. He didn't need the officials in Gyeongju to send him off, just like a rabbit in a hurry to escape. He left Gyeongju with the Goguryeo people, his staff and able men and strangers.
