If Liu Wenjing still doesn't understand how things have developed now, he can basically retire and return home to raise pigs.
After the prince admitted his mistake, Liu Wenjing immediately understood that what the saint wanted was not for them to find a way to rescue Shangzhou, but for them to take the blame!
Li Jiancheng doesn’t want to take the blame either. Who wants to have their reputation damaged?
But if he doesn't take the blame today, things won't end.
Li Yuan's attitude was very obvious. When Chen Shuda said that the responsibility lies with King Lujiang, he immediately agreed. This showed that he did not want to put the responsibility for the defeat of Nanyang on King Changping, but found Li Yuan, the scapegoat.
By the same token, who recommended Li Yuan?
Prince!
Therefore, Li Jiancheng knew very well that if he did not take the blame, this matter might not go well.
It's not easy to be the prince. I thought at the beginning he was dedicated to serving the country, but he didn't expect that he would become like this in the end.
miserable.
If someone takes the blame, then the matter can continue to be discussed. Lao Li continued: "The support of King Lujiang is not good, and the crime will be discussed later. Now let's think about how to rescue King Changping."
How to save?
It's nothing more than sending troops to support.
Pei Ji has already said this, but he doesn't mind repeating it again.
"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to support. However, the King of Lujiang recommended by Prime Minister Liu is of no use and I am afraid that he cannot be the commander in chief of the rescue. Please ask your Majesty to choose another general to go to Shangzhou."
At this time, Pei Ji still felt disgusted with Liu Wenjing.
In the past, Liu Wenjing would definitely have had a quarrel with Pei Ji, but now, Liu Wenjing did not dare to talk anymore. Because today, both he and the prince were regarded by the emperor as taking the blame.
"Who do you think can serve as the rescue coach?" Li Yuan asked.
This question was asked, and everyone present basically knew that Lao Li definitely preferred the clan generals to lead the troops.
But the problem is that there are not many clan generals still in Chang'an.
King Qin Li Shimin, there is no doubt that if this person is in Chang'an, he will definitely go, but he is currently working in Xiliang and has no time.
In fact, in the foreign wars in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was a bit like the firefighter of the Tang Dynasty, the Dinghai Shenzhen.
When Xue Ju was beaten, it was because Xue Ju took the initiative to attack. When Liu Wuzhou was beaten, it was because Li Yuanji, the young phoenix, could not defeat Liu Wuzhou, the Turkic son. When Wang Shichong was beaten, it was because Li Yuan, who had been in Wude for four years at that time, looked around.
It's useless, but I found that my second son is more useful.
There is no doubt that Li Shimin was the God of War in the Tang Dynasty.
But the God of War doesn’t know how to clone himself, especially now that the God of War is not the God of War, everyone naturally ruled out Li Shimin.
Excluding Li Shimin, Li Yuanji naturally comes to mind.
However, Li Yuanji was guarding Bingzhou to defend against Liu Wuzhou. Therefore, he was ruled out again.
Immediately afterwards, everyone thought of Chu King Li Zhiyun.
You have to say, aren't there Li Shentong, Li Xiaoji and other clan members? Why do you think of a sixteen-year-old boy?
The reason is very simple. Lao Li prefers the clan to lead troops.
But there are also differences in this clan.
The King of Qin, King of Qi, and King of Chu, as the biological sons of the emperor, obviously have higher priority in leading troops than others.
When Li Yuan sent Li Shuliang to destroy Zhu Can, it was because Li Shuliang had fought a good battle before. Li Yuan felt that Li Shuliang was good and could be used in many ways. In addition, Li Zhiyun was young, so Lao Li was a little hesitant.
So, Li Shuliang finally went.
Think about it, Li Yuanji was guarding Taiyuan, and Li Yuan sent Dou Dan, Xia Houduan and others to assist him. Although he believed in his son, he actually had an ambiguous attitude towards their abilities.
In the final analysis, Li Yuan just believed that his son would not betray him.
What he wanted was for his sons to control the military, not for them to help him win the war. Of course, if his sons were as fierce as King Qin, he would wake up laughing in his sleep.
What he admired has always been "the wise are in power and the capable are in office". He uses his sons to control the military power and outsiders to win the war.
Well, to put it simply, using others to work for your son, and your son working for yourself, rounding up, it means that everyone is working for him as the emperor. Gu
Perfect.
Pei Ji understood Li Yuan's thoughts, so he said: "Your Majesty, I think that the King of Chu is worthy of a great responsibility."
Li Yuan gave Pei Ji a look that said, "You are very smart."
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows to show that he had received it.
There is no way, Li Yuan and Pei Ji have been good brothers for life. If Li Yuan farts, Pei Ji will know what Lao Li ate last night.
The caring little cotton-padded jacket Pei Ji is really not kidding.
It is not unreasonable to say that there are three irons in life.
Going to the same window together represents the youthful years. Carrying a gun together represents a life-long friendship. Going to Pingkangfang together represents being honest with each other.
If the friendship between men can reach this stage, it is really strong.
Besides, Pei Ji is still a smart person.
The King of Chu is currently a rather dazzling presence among the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is a King of Qin above him who shines as brightly as the little sun, the King of Chu himself is not bad either.
Starting from Jinyang, the king of Chu offered fire oil to defeat Song Laosheng, pinned and captured Qu Tutong and captured Hedong. Then he stabilized the food price in Chang'an and offered military rations of fried noodles and baked steamed buns. Later, he led his army to pacify Shannan Road and followed Li Shuliang to conquer the west.
Qin.
Piece by piece, piece by piece, there is no need for Fengxiao Li Yuanji to be strong?
There is no doubt that the most suitable candidate is Li Zhiyun. Whether from the perspective of the clan or the perspective of record, King Chu is the most suitable.
Of course, it is useless to insist on talking about age.
Because the King of Qin is not very old now, and the King of Qi is even younger. In the impression of the ancients, getting married and having children is considered an adult.
Hearing Pei Ji nominate the King of Chu, Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and said nothing. In fact, he also had a candidate in mind, but he did not dare to say anymore. First, he was worried that he would recommend another colorful pen this time, and second, because if he denied that the King of Chu would send troops, then
His intention to target the King of Chu was too obvious.
Before, he took away the Yunyang Army, which already made people suspect that he was dealing with the King of Chu. If he strongly opposes the King of Chu now, it will almost have "I hate the King of Chu" engraved on his face.
He can still figure out this kind of thing.
What's more, he didn't intend to completely push King Chu away. Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and remained silent.
Not to mention Liu Wenjing. He has not recovered from the confrontation just now, so naturally he will not continue to play against Pei Ji.
As for Chen Shuda, what he wanted was that the prince could no longer interfere with the army, and his goal had been achieved.
The remaining Dou Wei, Dou Kang, and Xiao Yu were completely outsiders and had never thought of intervening in this matter.
Moreover, everyone knows that Lao Li prefers his son to lead the army. To oppose him at this time is tantamount to opposing Lao Li.
Of course, Dou Wei was also secretly thinking that if King Chu failed in this expedition, he might be able to recommend one or two people from the Dou family to lead the army.
In short, everyone in Zhengshitang has his or her own thoughts.
Seeing that no one objected, Lao Li took it as their acquiescence and asked, "Where is the King of Chu now?"
Xiao Yu said: "According to the news from the Ministry of War, the King of Chu has delivered the second batch of grain and grass to Xiangzhou and is on his way back. Now, he should have arrived in Hedong."
"Let King Chu return to Chang'an quickly."
"yes."
Chen Shuda asked: "Your Majesty, if the King of Chu supports Nanyang, who will be responsible for escorting the third batch of grain and grass shipped to Xiangzhou?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let King Yong'an go."
Hearing this, everyone gave a look of "Sure enough".
Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, was the general manager of Shaanzhou before. However, not long ago, Wang Shichong's small army invaded Shaanzhou. Li Xiaoji failed to resist and fled back to Chang'an in defeat. Therefore, he was dismissed.
Now that Li Yuan has re-enabled Li Xiaoji, it is clear that he wants to give Li Xiaoji a chance to make meritorious service so that he can be reused again.
Li Yuan attaches great importance to the clan, and his intention is almost written on his face without any cover-up.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
In this way, the chamberlain took the imperial edict and went to Hedong to recall Li Zhiyun.
