Chapter 29 Left and right guards and guards [Thanks to 202001....7489
Not long after, Liu Rengui was summoned by the King of Chu. This made Liu Rengui a little strange. He was just a little-known official. Why did the King of Chu summon him alone?
With such doubts, Liu Rengui walked into the side hall.
The throne was empty, and at the top of it sat a young man kneeling. He looked at him with an expressionless face, making it difficult for people to understand what he was thinking.
Li Zhen stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Liu Rengui will bring you here."
It turns out that he is the King of Chu.
So young.
Liu Rengui did not dare to neglect and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Liu Rengui, pays homage to His Highness the King of Chu."
Li Zhiyun looked at this young famous general and recalled information about this man in his mind. Liu Rengui had been an honest and upright official throughout his life and had outstanding political achievements. But what really concerned Li Zhiyun was this man's military talent.
The battle at Baijiangkou completely defeated the Japanese pirates and established the coastal defense security of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. In other words, this person will be a sharp weapon against Japanese pirates in the future.
This person successively served as Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian in the four dynasties. His honor and favor continued unabated, and in the end he even died.
It can be seen from this that this person is a person who understands the rules and knows how to advance and retreat.
However, Liu Rengui has not grown to that stage yet. He is only two years older than Li Zhiyun at the moment.
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Zhiyun tapped his fingers lightly on the eucalyptus table, thinking for a long time without saying anything. He was debating whether to start cultivating Liu Rengui now, or whether to let nature take its course and let him develop wildly and grow slowly.
Seeing that the King of Chu did not move, Liu Rengui naturally lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
He couldn't understand why the King of Chu summoned him.
After a while, Li Zhiyun said: "Chencang County is temporarily lacking a county captain. The king likes you, Liu Rengui, are you willing?"
Liu Rengui was stunned for a moment, then agreed immediately.
"I obey my orders."
When the King of Chu opened his mouth, did he still have room to refuse?
However, becoming a county captain was a big improvement, and he had nothing to refuse.
What really puzzled him was why His Royal Highness the King of Chu named himself specifically. He seemed to have no reputation.
With such doubts, Liu Rengui left the palace.
Li Zhiyun naturally wanted Liu Rengui to grow up according to his original trajectory. But Liu Rengui would never have thought of this.
After arranging for Ren Gui, Li Zhiyun then met with Wei Yunqi. Li Zhiyun still valued this famous historical general who defeated more with less.
After the two parties met, not as Wei Yunqi expected, Li Zhiyun treated him with cynicism and contempt.
On the contrary, the young King of Chu asked him very seriously about the Liaodong grassland tribes.
After he finished expressing his opinion, Li Zhiyun pondered for a while and said: "Wei Gong, there is civil strife in the grassland at present, and our Tang Dynasty still needs to cultivate and recuperate. This is what I think. When the Tang army marches north, I hope Wei Gong will not hesitate to help.
"
"I obey." Wei Yunqi agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun conferred the title of Shangzhuguo, Sinong Shaoqing, in the name of the emperor.
Wei Yunqi expressed his gratitude.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun sent Wei Yunqi away. Although this person was talented, Li Zhiyun did not intend to use him now. He still had to observe and observe.
Later, Li Zhiyun summoned Wei Siqi.
"Siqi, you did a good job this time."
"Thanks to His Highness's good fortune, I am able to achieve such success." Wei Siqi said humbly.
Li Zhiyun smiled, automatically ignored the flattery, and said, "You must have heard about Wei Yuanzhao after you returned to Beijing."
"yes."
"What do you think?"
Wei Siqi thought for a while and said: "It is a state-owned and national law, and it is at the discretion of His Highness."
"For your sake, I will let him go."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Wei Siqi bowed his head and thanked him.
Wei Siqi didn't care whether he let Wei Yuanzhao go or not. Anyway, the third uncle was never close to him.
It doesn't matter.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "Other than Wei Yuanzhao, the title of Duke Kuang, naturally someone should inherit it. Since you have followed me for a long time and you are the son of Duke Kuang, this title should be yours."
Hearing this, Wei Siqi's nose felt sore and he thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Zhiyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you are serious about cultivating your family, you must take good care of the Wei family to make it united and friendly."
"I obey."
As the newspaper was sent to all the governments, the arrangements of Wei Yunqi and others also spread in Chang'an. Many people were a little surprised that the King of Chu did not kill the prince's old ministers.
In another piece of news, Wei Siqi's conferring the title of Duke also caused a stir, but overall there were not many surprises, because it was still Wei who inherited the title of Duke, which was a relief to the Guanlong family.
They didn't care who became the new duke of the country, they cared more about how the King of Chu would treat the Guanlong family. The fact that Wei was not deprived of his dukedom of the country undoubtedly made them feel more at ease, because in their view, the King of Chu was just giving rewards.
Just a younger brother.
Chu Palace, Wei Guiyuan.
Wei Gui served Li Zhiyun, washed his feet, cleaned his hands, took a volume of books, and accompanied Li Zhiyun to read on the couch.
As he took over major national affairs, Li Zhiyun also began to supplement his knowledge of governing the country. Naturally, the first one to bear the brunt was the emperor's study of Han Feizi.
If he couldn't understand, Li Zhiyun would ask Du Ruhui or the knowledgeable Dr. Guozijian.
Wei Gui, on the other hand, prefers poetry.
Seeing her husband across from her reading a book seriously, Wei Gui suddenly felt very satisfied in her heart. She liked living with her husband like this.
If her husband was not the King of Chu, but just an ordinary person, she would be happier.
Because, then the husband might belong to her alone.
Thinking of several cousins, Wei Gui couldn't help but sigh.
The voice was not loud, but Li Zhiyun heard it.
"What's wrong?" He looked away from the book and looked at Wei Gui.
"It's nothing." Wei Gui forced a smile and said: "I am very happy about Si Qi's matter."
Li Zhiyun smiled and stretched out his hand to tidy her hair around her ears.
"If I have a younger brother, the title of Duke of this country..." At this point, Li Zhiyun smiled and stopped talking.
Although Li Zhiyun didn't finish what he said, Wei Gui understood it and she was very happy.
"By the way, husband, I went to visit some sisters a few days ago. She is still in her Bodhi Year, and I want to ask your husband to find a good family for her." Wei Gui said tentatively.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun asked thoughtfully: "What did she think?"
"In my daughter's house, it's not easy to talk about this kind of thing. It's up to me, the eldest sister, to make the decision for her."
Li Zhiyun joked: "My wife is so thoughtful, but she doesn't even know about her husband's past."
"Husband!" She said coquettishly and shook his arm.
"Okay, okay." Li Zhiyun said, "I'll ask her in person someday so I can know what she wants. As you know, my husband is very busy these days."
"Okay." Wei Gui's heart darkened.
As a woman, she is particularly sensitive to certain things.
Seeing that Wei Gui seemed to be a little depressed, Li Zhiyun reached out and took her into his arms.
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
"No." Leaning in her husband's arms, she was very greedy and hoped to never leave.
She didn't feel much before. She had to take care of her son and manage the palace. But with the death of the deposed prince and the king of Qi, and her husband overseeing the country, she realized it now.
It turns out that I have so little time to spend with my husband.
There are only four women in the palace now. Once her husband ascends the throne in the future, won't he have less time to spend with her in the three palaces and six courtyards?
She's not jealous, she's just reluctant.
After experiencing the failure of a marriage, she naturally does not want the marriage to end in vain.
What's more, she likes Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun didn't know what Wei Gui was thinking. He was currently focusing on government affairs and really had no time to guess what his wife was thinking.
However, he also has ways to make his wife happy.
The delicate flowers still need night frost.
Her depression and low mood finally melted under the flame of Li Zhiyun's passion.
