During this visit to Pei's house, Li Zhiyun took out his profit chips and prepared to use Bingtang's profits to win over Pei to help him.
But he never expected that Pei Ju would actually agree to help him. Li Zhiyun was quite surprised by Pei's statement, but since both parties were trying to test their words, there were some things that Li Zhiyun couldn't say openly.
Of course, what I didn't expect was that Pei Ju was trying to get Pei Suer to marry him.
Can Li Zhiyun refuse?
No way.
Not to mention that Pei Su'er moved his heart, Pei's help alone was enough to make him agree to the marriage.
He could also see that Miss Pei Suer was confused and scared, so he gave her a box of rock candy.
It was a hint to her that he would treat her well in the future.
When Li Zhiyun returned to Shence Mansion and told Du Ruhui and others the news, they all looked happy.
Xue Shoudao: "In the political affairs hall, Prime Minister Yang, Prime Minister Chen, and Prime Minister Pei have already supported His Highness. The six ministers, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Dugu Sheng, also support His Highness. In addition, King Changping and others, His Highness can expect great things! I congratulate Your Highness!
"
"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Du Ruhui and Xue Yuanjing also clasped their fists in congratulations.
Li Zhiyun laughed and raised his hand to excuse them.
Yang Gongren himself represents the Hongnong Yang family, and can also contact some former Sui officials, Pei Ju represents the Wenxi Pei family, Dugu Sheng represents the Guanlong Dugu family, plus Jingzhao Du family, Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Xue family, and the Changping King,
The power of King Rencheng, King Huaiyang, King Zhao, and Li Zhiyun has rapidly expanded.
Although there are few people, they can contact many people.
For example, Yang Gongren, although in the eyes of outsiders he is a former Sui clan, in fact he is a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family with upright roots. Now he is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hongnong Yang family naturally looks up to him. In addition,
The 'former Sui clan' vest gave him another opportunity to contact former Sui officials.
In addition, Li Zhiyun's Mrs. Huaiyang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. With the blessing of dual status, as long as Yang Gongren lobbying properly, it will not be difficult for Li Zhiyun to win the support of the Yang family of Hongnong and the former Sui officials.
I heard that Pei's reputation was not as great as that of Wang's in Taiyuan in the world, but no one in the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes dared to say that he was definitely better than Pei.
Once the prince falls, it is said that Mr. Pei will be able to guide Li Zhiyun and stabilize the Shandong family.
Not to mention the Dugu family in Guanlong. Although the Dugu family tended to be weak after Dugu Zhen's death, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Dugu family was not thin!
If the Dugu family is traveling around Guanlong for Li Zhiyun, they will surely gain some support from the Guanlong family in the future.
Among the clan's leading generals, Li Zhiyun has captured 80%.
It can indeed be said that great things can be expected!
"Your Highness, how should Zhao Cijing, the Minister of War, win over him?" Xue Yuanjing asked.
"No rush." Li Zhiyun said: "My brother-in-law is deeply valued by my father. If I win over him now, I may not succeed. When the big things are decided in the future, based on my relationship with him, he is not mine.
He will become my person."
Although he and Zhao Cijing have a good relationship, Zhao Cijing is deeply liked by Lao Li, so he will never take sides without authorization when the situation is unclear.
Du Ruhui thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, Zhao Cihao is currently an official in Shence Mansion. I think I can exert influence on Zhao Cijing through Zhao Cihao."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "It's feasible."
After a while, everyone was about to disperse, but at this moment, Wei asked for permission.
"I remember, didn't I ask Wei Zheng to concurrently serve as a French military officer to join the army and manage the military discipline after the integration? He has already done all that?" Li Zhiyun was confused.
After the Tangtu War, Li Yuan appointed him General of Divine Strategy and gave him full authority to sort out the troops. Li Zhiyun took this opportunity to not only expand his army, but also to introduce the old and remnant soldiers of the King of Qin into his army. By the way, he secretly dismantled many of them.
The prince is a soldier.
After a rough integration, the army has reached 250,000.
In addition, soldiers from various Zhechong Prefectures within the pass are also rapidly registering to replenish their reserves.
This was a huge project, and Li Zhiyun assigned it to Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, and Dai Zhou.
Cen Wenwen went to Youzhou as an envoy not long ago, and the burden fell on Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou.
"Probably not." Xue Yuanjing said: "Chu Suiliang was consolidating the list of Zhechong Mansion and checking the list of fallen soldiers, and Cen Wenwen went to Youzhou again. At present, only Wei Zheng, Dai Zhou, Wei Siqi and Dugu Ying are in charge there.
Assist them. In addition, I heard that Wei Zheng felt that he did not have enough manpower two days ago, so he also seconded Chu Liang."
"Then he came to ask for someone from me?" Li Zhiyun laughed dumbly.
The Shence Mansion was established not long ago, so its talents are naturally not as good as those of the Tiance Mansion, which was at its peak in history. In the face of major and urgent matters, it is understandable that manpower is stretched thin.
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Not only Chu Liang, but also Lian Chen's uncle was seconded by him."
Du Ruhui's uncle was Cao Shence, a soldier in the Shence Mansion, who joined the military, Du Yan.
With the establishment of the Shence Mansion, Li Zhiyun began to recruit talents on a large scale. Among them, relatives and friends of people around him became the focus of Li Zhiyun's care.
For example, Du Ruhui's uncle Du Yan, his younger brother Du Chuke, several brothers of Wei Siqi, and some of the descendants of the Xue family in Hedong all worked in the Shence Mansion.
"This Wei Zheng is very vigorous and resolute in his work." Li Zhiyun shook his head and told Li Zhen, "Go and invite him in."
"yes."
Not long after, Wei Zheng strode into the main hall, greeted Du Ruhui and others slightly, and passed by each other.
"See Your Highness."
"Xuan Cheng is free of charge." Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wei Zheng sat down comfortably.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Xuan Cheng is here, because he doesn't have enough manpower to handle affairs, so he comes to ask for people from me?"
"no."
"Oh?" Li Zhiyun asked in confusion: "What's the reason for that?"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Zhen and Li Qiang who were guarding Li Zhiyun, "I have something important to report to Your Highness, please step aside."
Hearing this, Li Zhen showed a trace of displeasure on her face. In terms of qualifications, he was a Yuan Cong who followed King Jin Yang of Chu to join the army.
Li Zhiyun said: "Xuancheng, Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang are my king's arms and confidants. If you have anything to say, you can speak out without any scruples."
"This matter is not a trivial matter. I don't dare to be careless." Wei Zheng said stubbornly.
Seeing this, Li Zhen didn't wait for Li Zhiyun's instructions and said sensibly: "Your Highness, I am humble enough to guard the door."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Li Zhen and Li Qiang left the room and closed the door.
Now they were the only two people left in the room. Li Zhiyun said: "Xuancheng, you can speak now."
Wei Zheng is so serious, and Li Zhiyun also takes it seriously.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, you have been in danger since you were enthroned as General Shence. I really don't understand why you didn't realize it."
"What does Xuancheng mean?"
"Your Highness, the King of Qin used to be the general of Tiance, who was feared by the prince and suppressed him repeatedly. Now you are the general of Shence, no less than the general of Tiance. Aren't you worried that the prince will take action because of your threat?"
Before, Wei Zheng felt that with Du Ruhui and Xue Shou beside King Chu, he would be able to realize the seriousness of the matter quickly.
But he waited and waited. When Cen Wenwen left for Youzhou, he realized that His Highness the King of Chu might not have realized the danger yet.
So, he couldn't sit still.
Li Zhiyun felt a little comforted in his heart, Lao Wei was a very capable person and he would tell the truth when he had something to say.
"Xuancheng, I understand what you mean. You think that the prince is now a general and will threaten the prince's status in the future, so the prince will deal with me in the near future just like he dealt with the King of Qin, right?"
"That's right." Wei Zheng said: "I also believe that the saint canonized you as the general of divine strategy in order to balance the prince."
"You're right, Keming also said this." Li Zhiyun sighed.
