Lao Li was also surprised. To be honest, Lao Li had no intention of Li Zhiyun calling him ugly.
However, when the King of Chu explained the resumes of Pei Ju and Yang Gongren, good guys, it really makes sense.
Thinking of this, Lao Li suddenly became a little unhappy. It turns out that you have a good mind, so why do you usually act like a fool?
Fool me?
Li Yuan secretly warned: "Zhiyun, from now on you must pay more attention to everything in the court."
"Follow your orders." Li Zhiyun said hurriedly: "From now on, I will definitely ask the two royal brothers for advice."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had no time to worry about Li Zhiyun's behavior at this time. They were still thinking about Pei Ju and Yang Gongren.
They were not stupid. After hearing Li Zhiyun's words, they immediately understood that these two people were a perfect match.
So, Zheng Shanguo quietly signaled the prince with his eyes.
When the prince got the message, he immediately said: "Father, I think what the fifth brother said is great. Pei Gong and Yang Gong are the most suitable people. However, I think that after all, Pei Gong has the experience of conquering the Western Regions. It is up to Pei Gong to appease Hexi."
, extremely appropriate.”
The words are very beautiful, but this is not the prince's original intention. In fact, either Yang Gongren or Pei Ju is suitable, but for the prince, the most suitable one is Pei Ju.
Firstly, he has no one under him to recommend for the time being. Secondly, Pei Ju was born in the Wenxi Pei family, a Shandong noble family. He has closer relationships and is easier to win over, so it would be best to recommend him.
Li Shimin knew this very well.
Therefore, he said immediately after the prince finished speaking: "My son thinks that Duke Yang is more suitable. It has been a long time since Duke Pei has been in charge of the Western Regions, and I am afraid that things will change. However, Duke Yang served as the governor of Ganzhou and ruled the Hu and Han Dynasties."
It is extremely appropriate for the people to settle down in their own place and let him appease Hexi."
As long as the prince's people are not allowed to go, Li Shimin can accept it.
Pei Ju, in his heart, is equal to half a prince. Who told Pei Ju to be born in Wenxi, and who told Wenxi that the Pei family and the Wang family of Taiyuan had a good relationship.
Pei Ju and Yang Gongren were confused. They were really just people eating melons. Since returning to the Tang Dynasty, they had been doing their jobs honestly and had never had any contact with the prince or the King of Qin.
However, Pei Ju was an old official in the officialdom after all, and he quickly understood that this was a struggle between the prince and the King of Qin, and he also understood why the prince recommended him.
Because Zheng Shanguo looked at him several times.
As for Yang Gongren, he glanced at Li Zhiyun with a complicated look. He thought that King Chu was complimenting him. After all, Princess Chu was his niece, and King Chu had a close relationship with him.
Thinking of this, Lao Yang suddenly felt warm in his heart. No way, he, a relic of the previous dynasty, was not well received in Li Tang, and officials did not dare to get too close to him. Although Lao Li repeatedly said that Yang Gongren was
My brother, I am iron-clad, but all officials understand that Yang Gongren is the mascot used by the saint to show off, a tool to show that the saint has a broad mind.
Everyone knows that Yang Gongren is Hongnong Yang and has nothing to do with Sui Yang. But who made Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty insist on recognizing Hongnong Yang as his ancestor? Yang Gongren had to admit it even if he didn't admit it. He was a remnant of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, no matter how much Lao Li expressed that he had a good relationship with Yang Gongren, everyone kept Yang Gongren at a respectful distance.
There is no way, Yang Gongren has the mark of the previous dynasty on his body, which cannot be washed away.
Now, the King of Chu suddenly promoted himself, how could Yang Gongren not be moved?
My niece and son-in-law are still reliable.
The prince, King of Qin, and King of Chu all think that Pei Ju and Yang Gongren are OK, then the others will automatically be eliminated, leaving Pei Ju and Yang Gongren to compete.
Li Yuan asked Li Zhiyun again, "The King of Chu, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin each recommend one person. What do you think?"
God, what do I think? How many times have I said it, my name is Li Zhiyun, not Li Yuanfang, you just give me a name and don’t remember my name, right?
"Father, I really don't know this time." Li Zhiyun said to Lao Li very sincerely and "ashamedly".
Li Yuan pointed at him and said: "When discussing government affairs, you should speak freely. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing. I want you to say it."
It was impossible not to tell him. Lao Li made up his mind to train Li Zhiyun well and not let this kid paddle every day.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one person who could paddle, and that was me!
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun sighed helplessly and said, "I think what the second brother said makes sense."
Yang Gongren was moved, truly moved.
Pei Ju's face remained expressionless.
Li Shimin wanted to laugh, to laugh out loud, and mock the prince for being a fool.
Let you rob your brother's toys, let you rob your brother's army, hahaha. Gu
The prince's face could not be darker. Sure enough, the King of Chu began to favor the King of Qin because of the incident with the Yunyang Army.
Made.
As for Li Yuan, he looked at the prince and then at Li Zhiyun, and he understood clearly.
However, he did not draw a conclusion directly. Instead, he looked at the little cotton-padded jacket Pei Ji and said, "Prime Minister Pei, what do you think?"
"I think what the King of Qin and the King of Chu said is very reasonable, and I second my opinion."
Pei Ji decisively agreed with the King of Qin and the King of Chu. This did not mean that he had a good relationship with Li Shimin. He simply did not want to see Pei Ju go to Hexi to perform meritorious services.
"I second the proposal." Dou Wei, Dou Kang, and Chen Shuda handed over their hands at the same time.
The remaining Xiao Yu said nothing and remained silent. Silence was equivalent to abstaining from voting.
As for Liu Wenjing, he doesn't dare to vote for the time being. If he jumps around again, he might be targeted again.
The failure to recommend Li Yuan temporarily cost him the opportunity to speak.
The minority overwhelms the majority, Li Yuan decided.
"Well, let's make Yang Gongren the general manager of Liangzhou and the pacification envoy of Hexi. He will be responsible for managing the lands in Hexi."
Yang Gongren was overjoyed, but he still kept calm. He stood up and bowed, "I obey your order."
Li Yuandao: "Gongren, I will leave the land west of Hexi to you."
"My lord, I will definitely live up to the saint's high expectations."
Li Yuan was still very satisfied with Yang Gongren's choice. Because he was not from the King of Qin, nor was he from the Crown Prince, and because of the imprint of the Sui Dynasty on his body, he was destined to follow in his own footsteps.
Lao Yang is a man of great wealth.
The dynasty dispersed and the ministers left Wude Hall.
When going down the steps, Li Zhiyun took a special look at Pei Ji and Pei Ju. They were very interesting people. Although they had the same last name, they did not have the same heart.
After Yang Gongren thanked King Qin for his recommendation, he caught up with Li Zhiyun.
"King Chu." Yang Gongren greeted him.
"Mr. Yang, you don't need to be polite." Li Zhiyun quickly returned the courtesy, and then the two of them walked side by side.
In fact, Li Zhiyun couldn't figure out what exactly he was calling Yang Gongren, but he was definitely right to call him Yang Gong.
Yang Gongren said gratefully: "Thank you very much, King Chu, for speaking out for me."
Although the people who recommended him were King Qin and Pei Ji, Yang Gongren knew very well that his relationship with King Qin was average, and he and Pei Ji had no intersection. They did not want to recommend themselves, they just did not want the prince to succeed in recommending Pei Ju.
Therefore, the person who deserves his most gratitude is his niece-in-law.
Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "Mr. Yang has great talents. Even if Zhiyun doesn't tell, my father will definitely see it."
Can you see it?
Yang Gongren doesn't think so. He still has a very clear positioning of himself, and there is basically no chance of making meritorious deeds in the court.
"I will bear in mind the kindness of the king of Chu."
"Mr. Yang, you are too estranged." Li Zhiyun scolded: "If you are like this, the princess will blame me. Also, this king is to promote talents for the country, and I don't care what others say about my kinship and distance. Don't worry, Minggong.
"
Hearing this, Yang Gongren was silently moved and stopped being polite.
"Your Highness..."
"If Mr. Yang doesn't mind, just call me Zhiyun, that's what the elders call me." Li Zhiyun interrupted him with a smile.
Yang Gongren nodded, "Zhiyun."
Next, Li Zhiyun naturally chatted with him for a long time. When they finally broke up, the two agreed to have a meal together to brag about each other and deepen their relationship.
Of course, the public statement is that the princess returns to her parents' home to visit relatives.
