Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 524
Li You's recruitment process was difficult. With 5000 soldiers, Li You failed to recruit 1000 soldiers in a week under the vigorous publicity of Shao Yiyi and Xiao Yan.

Some people may ask, hey author, what you said is wrong. When the Huben camp recruited, there were huge crowds of people, and there were recruits at that time, but why there were so many people recruited at the beginning, but now there are no more recruits.

Here I want to explain that the Huben Camp recruited at the beginning was actually the guard of the palace in name. Although the guard of the palace has the responsibility of guarding and protecting the palace, he does not need to go to the battlefield.

So many people are willing to fight for a future, but now they are recruiting Hubenwei, which needs to go to the battlefield. Even if many young people are willing to give it a try, their families must have their own considerations.

If the government soldiers die in battle, they can leave the fields, but if the soldiers you recruit die, what can you leave for your family?
Moreover, those who can be recruited to become Huben Guard must be young and middle-aged, the pillars of the family. If he dies in battle, how his family will live in the future is a very real problem.

It's not as bad as it is now, and you can't eat well, wear well, and live well, but at least the family stays neatly together, which is better than being a soldier and dying in battle.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that although Li You's publicity has been in full swing, there are very few people who always come to sign up.

"Hahahahaha, you are really an idiot!"

Sitting in the garden of his mansion, Wei Wang Li Tai smiled at Fang Yiai beside him while drinking a small wine.

At this time, Fang Yiai on the other side also echoed and continued with a smile: "It is said that Shao Yiyi and Xiao Yan, together, are trying their best to promote it, but it is useless. They actually want to spend a few pennies to buy someone to work hard for you. I really don't know what Li You thinks."

"Hehe!" Li Tai took a sip of his wine and said self-confidently: "This is because my father cares about this king. Although my father knew about this king's intimidation of young slaves last time, my father also warned me. But The father still favored this king, and rewarded Li You and Zhinu with the reward of adding a Hubenwei.

But they didn't give them a source of soldiers. Instead, they asked them to recruit soldiers by themselves. Who would serve as soldiers if they didn't have land.

Those who originally thought that Li You was a sudden rise, now know that Li You is a joke, and they should follow me, Li Tai, this is the most correct choice for them. "

"Of course. Your Majesty is the most fond of His Royal Highness King Wei. Back then, His Highness did not have the title of eldest son, but now, the eldest son is His Highness's, so His Highness has no stumbling blocks. As long as His Highness keeps it, the crown prince The seat must belong to your Highness."

Fang Yiai's words made Li Tai very proud, and then he heard Li Tai say: "By the way. Has your father expressed his opinion recently?"

"This!" Fang Yiai shook her head slightly: "Father never gave me a chance to speak, I'm guilty...!" Saying that, Fang Yiai got up and wanted to bow down to apologize.

"Hey!" Li Tai quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't do this, there is no need for this between us, your father's attitude is actually very important, you still have to try your best to open your father's mind, you tell your father, as long as he supports I, not only can keep his position, but I can also bring him to a higher level."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Yiai was pleasantly surprised.

In fact, Fang Xuanling has always been partial to Li Tai as the crown prince. Many people would say that this is impossible. When he was fighting for the crown prince between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, there was no sign that he supported Li Tai.

This actually has to be looked at from many aspects. First of all, Fang Xuanling has always refused to be Li Chengqian's prince and grand teacher.Moreover, as the prime minister of the imperial court, Zuo Pushe, Fang Xuanling was busy with affairs, and in fact basically ignored the affairs of the East Palace.Therefore, although Fang Xuanling also served as an official of the East Palace, his actual relationship with Li Chengqian has not been close.

In addition, due to various reasons, the relationship between Prince Li Chengqian and the officials of the East Palace appointed by the court has not been good.The relationship between many officials who were actually in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace and Li Chengqian could even be said to be in the same situation, not to mention Fang Xuanling.Therefore, Li Chengqian's rebellion was abolished later, and Fang Xuanling, who was also an official in the East Palace, was not implicated in any way.

In addition, Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai, had a very close relationship with Wei Wang Li Tai, and was a hardcore member of the "Wei Wang Party" recognized by the court at that time.However, Fang Xuanling has always acted cautiously and humblely. As an official of the East Palace, Fang Xuanling did not intervene in the practice of his second son publicly joining the Wei Wang camp, which also made many people doubt his position.

In addition, every time Li Shimin raised the status of Wei Wang Li Tai and increased the strength and influence of Wei Wangfu, Fang Xuanling, who was the prime minister of the imperial court Zuo Pushe and also an official of the East Palace, never objected to stop it, but carried out Li Shimin's orders.After the prince Li Chengqian was abolished, Fang Xuanling never supported Jin Wang Li Zhi who later became the prince.

Generally speaking, due to her own status and cautious character, Fang Xuanling will not openly join the camp of a certain prince when the situation of the "Prince Controversy" is still unclear.But Fang Xuanling's position tends to support Wei Wang Li Tai, and has never supported Jin Wang Li Zhi, so although Fang Xuanling has no superficial attitude, his intentions are actually very obvious.

Li Tai's re-use of Fang Yiai, in fact, is to get Fang Xuanling's support, even if Fang Xuanling does not publicly express, a default at Fang Xuanling's level is actually enough for Li Tai.

"Your Highness, eldest grandson Sikong has brought you some gifts."

Suddenly, a servant came in from outside.

"What gift.?" Li Tai sneered: "Go back and tell the person who gave the gift that I don't need gifts, and these gifts should be returned to my uncle. Also, uncle should not give gifts to this king in the future. Wang Wufu accepts it."

"Yes!" The servant left, and Fang Yiai frowned slightly: "Your Highness, why didn't you accept the gift from the eldest grandson Sikong, he should have come to show his favor!"

"Show kindness...?" Li Tai said slightly with contempt: "This king's uncle is just a fool, he supported the prince at the beginning, but now seeing that the king has improved, he came to show favor to the king again.

But he can forget the various targets against me, but this king will not forget.

The crown prince Li Chengqian is dead. In terms of seniority, he is the eldest son of His Majesty the king and the crown prince's first successor.

In terms of talent and self-cultivation, this king has Huanghuang's masterpiece "Kuo Di Zhi", which has won His Majesty's approval.

In terms of the degree of favor, this king has already surpassed Li Chengqian, and even surpassed his younger brother Li Zhi.

So I, Wei Wang Li Tai, absolutely have the confidence to say something like this: Who can give me the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty!
I was not optimistic about this king before, but now I want to curry favor, it's too late. Changsun Wuji now wants to become an alliance with this king, why...? "

After Li Tai finished speaking, Fang Yiai on the other side showed a happy smile, without him, as long as Li Tai and Changsun Wuji don't deal with it, then their Fang family can sit firmly in the top spot of the Great Tang Dynasty Hall .

It's just that Li Tai didn't know how stupid his choice was today. He still underestimated Changsun Wuji. In fact, Changsun Wuji didn't like Li Tai at the beginning. Uncle, but he has no contact with him on weekdays. He is said to be related by blood, but in fact he is just a passerby.

What's more, relying on the support of his father, Li Tai thinks of himself a little bit high, and no one can fall into his eyes except Li Shimin.

Now Changsun Wuji originally wanted to test his favor, but Li Tai ruthlessly slapped him. This shows that the two have no chance of alliance, and when it comes to political interests, Changsun Wuji did not attach himself to Li Tai. There is no support, and Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and others have already stood in line first, even if Changsun Wuji expressed support, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.The most terrible thing is that Li Tai has a very strong personality, very similar to Li Shimin, if he is made emperor, Changsun Wuji's voice in the court will be greatly reduced, which is not in the interests of Changsun Wuji.

So it just so happened that Li Tai's kick directly kicked Changsun Wuji to Li Zhi's side. Although Li Zhi had a weak relationship with Changsun Wuji, his character was weak and easy to control, and Changsun Wuji put him on the ground. It is a rare achievement for him to support the crown prince.All in all, if Li Zhi is in power, it will be beneficial to Changsun Wuji without any harm.

More importantly, Li Tai thinks too highly of Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin has the power to act arbitrarily when it comes to establishing a crown prince, this is a major national event after all, and it is related to Li Tang's future national fortune. Views.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin valued the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji the most. After a hundred years of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji must be a high-ranking existence as the emperor's uncle, Lingyan Pavilion hero, and emperor's favorite minister.If you insist on going against Changsun Wuji's will, even if Li Tai becomes emperor, will these important ministers who are estranged from Li Tai be willing to be sent by him?What if one day the ministers forced the palace?
If Changsun Wuji supports Li Tai, all troubles will disappear.The problem is, this kid lost the chain at a critical moment. You thought Changsun Wuji's initiative to show his favor was because he really wanted to curry favor with Li Tai.

This is just the result of Changsun Wuji being beaten by Li Shimin. Now that it's all right, Li Tai is kicking his own future away. Just when Changsun Wuji learned that Li Tai not only rejected his gift, but later even He also ridiculed himself and asked himself not to give any more gifts.

Changsun Wuji was neither happy nor sad, but just gave an order to set up the car and go to Dunhuafang.

Because at this time, Li Zhi is playing carelessly in Dunhuafang, and he wants to take care of his silly nephew!
