While reading the memorial, Lao Li enjoyed Zhang Jieyu's service, and his life was quite comfortable. The affairs of the government were complicated, and he had to deal with them by the prince himself. In foreign campaigns, his sons, cousins, and nephews also served.
As for him, he just needs to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy himself.
Except for major military and state affairs, he personally took care of them, and he left all minor government affairs to the prince. He often took Yang Guang as a warning and prepared to be a high-ranking emperor with an overview of everything.
Paying attention to every detail is not what an emperor should really do.
Like my old cousin Yang Guang, he has to do everything himself and take care of everything himself. In the end, his cleverness is mistaken for his cleverness.
When you are an emperor, you need to be able to employ people. If you have to do everything yourself, then you might as well be a free king.
Yang Guang, too young.
"Your Majesty, are you in a good mood today?" Zhang Jieyu opened her red lips lightly and fed Li Yuan a piece of fruit.
"Humph." Li Yuan hummed.
Seeing this, Zhang Jieyu smiled slightly and told some interesting things to amuse Li Yuan.
At this moment, the chamberlain Li Zhong walked in.
"Your Majesty, the prince wishes to see you."
"What's going on?"
"It's something important."
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him come in."
"yes."
Not long after Li Zhong went down, Prince Li Jiancheng walked in.
"My son, I pay homage to my father and wish him well."
"My greetings, the prince is exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Father." Li Jiancheng stood up, took the soft cushion from Li Zhong and sat down on his knees. He looked at Zhang Jieyu and said, "Father, I have something to report."
Hearing this, Li Yuan glanced at Zhang Jieyu, who understood and got up to go down.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Li Yuan looked through the memorial.
Li Jiancheng said: "Father, my son's words were inappropriate yesterday, please forgive me."
"You are also loyal to national affairs, and I can understand your painstaking efforts."
"Thank you, Father, for your understanding." Li Jiancheng said, "After returning home yesterday, I thought about it and felt that since Emperor Changping had the confidence to fight Zhu Can decisively, he must be confident. I thought that if Zhu Can was removed, Da
There is no danger in the southeastern part of Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I thought that I should send troops to support the emperor's uncle, completely eliminate Zhu Can, and take the opportunity to capture Nanyang."
After hearing this, Lao Li put down the memorial and said with a smile: "Your idea is very good."
"Thank you, Father, for your appreciation."
Immediately, Li Yuan hesitated and said: "But there are not many soldiers in Guanzhong. If we send them to Shangzhou, the Guanzhong will be empty."
"My son has also thought about this."
"Then what do you think?"
Li Jiancheng suppressed the nervousness in his heart and said: "Father, my son originally wanted Wu Lang to lead the army to support Shangzhou. Wu Lang's strategies have always been miraculous and won the praise of his father. But now Wu Lang has to transport grain to Xiangzhou, I am afraid that he is a clone
We have no skills, so I think I can let King Lujiang lead the soldiers and horses of the Yunyang camp to support Shangzhou and help the emperor."
"Yunyang Camp?" Li Yuan frowned.
After Shannan Road was pacified, Li Yuan asked Li Xiaogong to lead the troops to guard it, while Li Zhiyun's original 20,000 troops were transferred back to the pass and stationed in Yunyang County. Therefore, it was also called the Yunyang Army.
"Do you want King Lujiang to lead his army to support?" Li Yuan asked confirmingly.
"Yes." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "The strategy of King Lujiang is not as good as that of Emperor Changping. His task is only to increase the number of troops for Emperor Changping."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes and leaned lightly on Yang He. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, but Li Yuan did not immediately reply to Li Jiancheng.
After a while, he said: "The soldiers and horses of the Yunyang Camp have been commanded by King Chu before. Does Li Yuan have confidence?" Gu
Sure enough, my father was moved.
Li Jiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Given Li Yuan's prestige in the army, it is difficult for him to match Wu Lang. However, Li Yuan is only responsible for leading the troops to Shangzhou, and the real command is the Emperor Changping. With the Emperor's uncle's
Prestige is enough."
With that said, Li Yuan thought there was no problem.
Whether it was Li Shuliang or Li Yuan, he had no objection. Moreover, the prince's statement made him very moved.
"Here comes someone."
"My servant is here." Li Zhong walked in.
Li Yuandao: "Let Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing, um, and Chen Shuda enter the palace to see me immediately."
"yes."
Li Jiancheng watched Li Zhong walk down with an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.
The great thing is half done!
Liu Wenjing will definitely agree, and Pei Ji will also agree as he is his father's son. As for Chen Shuda, what can he do alone?
One day later, the edict was announced and the servants left the Yunyang camp.
In the camp, Duan Zhixuan held the imperial edict in his hand and looked very solemn.
The content of the imperial edict was very simple. He ordered King Li Yuan of Lujiang to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Yunyang Camp to go to Shangzhou to provide support.
This was a very ordinary and ordinary decree, but in Duan Zhixuan's view, it was a saint taking away the King of Chu's army.
Because, since Jinyang raised troops, the Yunyang Army has always been under the control of the King of Chu, and no one else has taken over at all. For a period of time, the Yunyang Army was under the control of Li Shentong, but it soon returned to the hands of the King of Chu.
Will this time be the same as last time?
Duan Zhixuan was very worried.
At this time, Xue Shou, who was staying at the Yunyang camp, said: "General Duan, you must write a letter immediately, work hard, and inform the king of the matter without delay!"
Duan Zhixuan looked at him and asked: "Your Majesty is in Hebei right now. It takes five days at the fastest to come and go, but we don't have such a long time to wait for Your Majesty to come back. The imperial decree makes it very clear that we will set off in three days."
"
Xue Shou said: "Of course I know this. But General Duan, you have to understand that the army belongs to the king, and even more to the saint. If we resist the decree, we will frame the king. Now we can only go to Shangzhou first.
Wait for the reply from the king before making a decision."
"Can't you delay?"
"No." Xue Shu said: "Although I don't know why the saint suddenly asked King Lujiang to command the Yunyang army, we can't do this. Once we delay, Li Yuan will have an excuse to remove us from the army, and then the king will
It is true that we have lost control of the Yunyang Army."
Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do this first."
Immediately, Duan Zhixuan finished writing the letter, found his own soldiers, and asked him to hurry up and send it to Hebei.
Two days later, the soldiers met the King of Chu who was returning to Chang'an in Jincheng, Zezhou.
Inside the camp.
After Li Zhiyun read the letter, the veins on his forehead bulged. He said to the soldiers as kindly as possible: "You have worked hard all the way. You have worked hard. Go down and receive the reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers retreated.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun sat in his position for a long time, as if he was in trance. He did not speak or move for a long time.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui knew something was wrong and quickly winked at Xie Shufang and others. Everyone understood and left one after another.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Li Zhiyun moved his lips but did not speak, but picked up the letter and handed it to Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui took two steps forward to receive the letter, and happened to see blood marks from Li Zhiyun's fingernails on his palm.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui became even more worried, thinking that something big must have happened in the letter.
Sure enough, after reading the letter, Du Ruhui also fell silent.
