Li Yuanji was neither naive nor stupid, and of course he knew that the ministers' silence actually meant they did not trust him, which made his face that was unable to express anything become even more distorted.
He has always disliked others looking at him differently. Because that look always reminded him of his biological mother's disgusted look when he was a child.
"Don't you trust me?"
Li Yuanji took a step forward and scanned everyone.
People who are ugly often make others feel scared. What's more, Li Yuanji's appearance is a bit atavistic, close to the roughness of the Hu people. Although most of the Guanlong nobles are descendants of Han and Hu people, they have used silk to block the beasts.
Hold your paws and raise your high crown. Civilized people who understand etiquette naturally look down on barbarians.
Of course, everyone does not look down on Hu people, they simply look down on Li Yuanji. Whether it is Dou Wei, Dugu Zhen, Pei Ji, or Liu Wenjing, they care about Li Yuan's affairs far more than they care about their wives.
How can we take such a person as the future master lightly, as it is related to their future future and interests.
As the sons of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and other four sons have been valued by these people one after another. This does not mean that they have to take sides, but that Li Yuan's son, the future prince, will naturally have to know their temperament.
can get along better.
After all, a son is a son. It is a wise choice not to antagonize the prince.
Perhaps, only Li Yuanji himself didn't know that he had already been thoroughly studied by people close to Li Yuan.
It has a good hunting and fishing color, which is considered a medium rating.
When he was guarding Taiyuan, he hunted every day, raped women, beat the people, and ran amok. He was like a tyrant in Taiyuan. No one could see his skills in marching and fighting, but a person with this kind of character would be good if he could lead a good team.
Whether it is Dou Wei or Dugu Zhen, they all feel that Li Yuan is giving them eye drops. Even if you don't let the Duke of Qin go, you might as well change it to the Duke of Chu, but you actually let the Duke of Qi go. Are you not warning us?
So, who warned whom?
Dou Wei cupped his hands and said: "Taiyuan, which the Duke of Qi is guarding, is the land of Longxing. There can be no accidents. In my opinion, this matter is serious. The Duke of Qi will return to Taiyuan in the near future, so we should choose another candidate."
"That's what Mr. Dou said." Dugu Zhen opened his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Although Mr. Qi has extraordinary talents, he cannot work so hard. There are so many talents under the Prime Minister's command, why not give others a chance."
Compared to Dou Wei, Dugu Zhen's anger was almost uncontrollable. He felt that Li Yuan did it on purpose. This person really burned bridges across rivers and had no bottom line. When he first asked for cooperation, he looked obedient, but now that he has entered the barrier, he immediately changed his face.
ugly!
"Oh, then who does Dugu Gong think can go out to conquer Jihu?" Li Yuan pretended not to hear Dugu Zhen's dissatisfaction.
"Praise to the Duke of Huang County." Dugu Zhen's tone was firm and unquestionable.
Hearing this, Li Yuan's face softened slightly, his mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded in agreement.
"What Dugu Gong said is exactly what he said. The Duke of Zanhuang County is always shouldering the burden. With him assisting the Duke of Qi, I think we will definitely be able to wipe out Jihu."
What?
Dugu Zhen's face showed astonishment. Did you make a mistake? I asked Dou Gui to kill Jihu alone and did not let your son join me.
At this time, Pei Ji finally came out to bubble.
"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable, and with the help of the Duke of Zanhuang County, the Duke of Qi will be able to destroy Jihu."
"I second the proposal." Liu Wenjing agreed.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng, the Duke of Qin Li Shimin, and the Duke of Chu Li Zhiyun also agreed.
Only Li Yuanji was a little unhappy, but he also noticed Dugu Zhen's thoughts, so he walked down the slope and said, "Prime Minister, please rest assured, I will live up to the Prime Minister's trust."
This is an invisible exchange. Even if Dou Wei and Dugu Zhen don't want Li Yuanji to follow him and do bad things, they can only agree with their noses.
Any further entanglement will make it impossible for both parties to get off the ground.
When leaving, Dugu Zhen looked very ugly, and Dou Wei was also a little dissatisfied.
Li Yuan's move was obviously in response to them.
If you want to raise Dou Gui, then I will let Qi Guogong suppress him.
However, if Dugu Zhen was willing to give in, he would not be the Dugu Zhen who withdrew his capital from the Sui Dynasty and switched to Li Yuan.
As soon as he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Zhiyun saw Li Shimin talking to Dou Gui not far away. Judging from his demeanor, he thought he was mostly comforting.
This is Li Shimin's opinion that he prefers to go on an expedition to Dougui. After all, if others don't know who his fourth brother is, how can he himself be unclear? It's just that Li Yuan had summoned them before and had already characterized Ji Hu's invasion of the south, saying that it was not
It was an accidental war, but someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Therefore, it is not easy for Li Shimin to violate Li Yuan's wishes.
In Li Zhiyun's view, regardless of whether there was any handwriting by the Guanlong nobles behind this incident, it was enough to show that Lao Li had begun to guard against the Guanlong people.
Jihu in the North does not offend early or late, but it suddenly comes at this time. No matter how you think about it, it is intriguing.
After all, the Dugu clan owns a lot of land in Huayuan.
After bidding farewell to Dou Gui, Li Shimin saw Li Zhiyun preparing to mount his horse not far away, and quickly walked up to him to stop him.
Then, the two brothers walked side by side.
"Zhiyun, actually I know that you are the most suitable person to counter the rebellion."
Three question marks appeared on Li Zhiyun's head.
My second brother, why do you suddenly say these things?
"Although Yuan Ji is brave, Ji Hu thieves are good at attacking without looking for strong points. They act like a pack of wolves. If Yuan Ji goes to suppress the rebellion, he will probably be deceived by Ji Hu."
"Second brother, don't worry. With the help of the Duke of Zanhuang County, fourth brother will definitely take down Jihu smoothly."
You really don’t know what I mean? I’m just worried that there will be problems with the cooperation between Lao Si and Dou Gui, so I’m just saying this. You did it on purpose, Kogoro.
"I hope so." Li Shimin responded worriedly.
Now that Guanzhong has been settled, he doesn't understand why his father has to start guarding against the Guanlong people so quickly. At the very least, he has to wait for the world to be settled.
Duke Li Yuanji of Qi took command, with Dou Gui as deputy, leading an army of 30,000 to Huayuan to attack the invading Jihu.
Soon after, the Prime Minister's Office gave the final word about Ji Hu's invasion.
Fuck him!
On the day Li Yuanji set off for the expedition, the three Li brothers went to see each other off as usual.
Li Jiancheng and Li Zhiyun mostly gave encouragement, while Li Shimin asked Li Yuanji to listen to Dou Gui's opinions.
This makes Li Yuanji very uncomfortable, he is the coach.
"Second brother, don't worry." Li Yuanji replied coldly, got on his horse, shouted "Let's go", and immediately the three armies set off.
Looking at Da Ba gradually disappearing, Li Shimin felt uneasy for no reason. He always felt that it was inappropriate for Yuan Ji to conquer Ji Hu. Given his temperament, could he really cooperate with Dou Gui?
Li Shimin was really unsure about this.
On the way back, Li Shimin talked about this matter with his confidants Sun Wuji, Fang Qiao and Yu Zhining.
Although the three confidants all knew what Lao Li meant, no one dared to say it at this time, so they could only follow Li Shimin's words.
At the end, Yu Zhining said: "If there is an emergency, you can ask the Prime Minister to ask the Duke of Chu to go and destroy Jihu."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin noticed something in his heart. He always felt that his eldest brother was on guard against him commanding troops.
