Chapter 50 Prince Li Zhiyun of the Eastern Palace (1)
Historically, Yang Shidao was also a man of great talent, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the prime ministership by Li Shimin. Now that Yang Shidao is one of Li Zhiyun's own, of course he must be given a high priority.
After Master Yang went down, Li Zhiyun touched his chin and smiled.
He promoted Pei Ju's son Pei Xuanji to the post of Chang'an Order, and appointed Li Shuliang as Prime Minister. Now he promoted Yang Shidao, so the only one left was Guanlong.
The Dugu family, he has promoted Dugu Huaien to be the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. The Dou family is now in a weak position, and Li Zhiyun plans to suppress it again.
The rest is the Yu family.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun felt a little regretful. If Yu Zhining was here, he would not hesitate to use him in a more important way. It is a pity that he lives in the Turks and does not know whether he is alive or dead.
By the way, there is another person!
"Come here, summon the Minister of Rites."
"yes."
Dugu Mansion.
Dugu Cheng was eating cakes and tasting new tea, feeling very happy.
The success of investing in King Chu greatly increased his prestige within the Dugu clan, especially Dugu Huaien, who gradually began to respect him.
And Dugu Wudu, who had always been unconvinced by him, was silent during this period.
Not long after, Dugu Huaien and Dugu Wu both arrived one after another.
"You guys are here, try it all. This is Yonghezhai's new snack. It tastes delicious."
Dugu Huai'en ate one, but Dugu Wudu didn't move.
"Li Shuliang was able to become a prime minister, but Li Zhiyun didn't send you to the political affairs hall, so you can still be so leisurely." Dugu Wudu said.
Hearing this, Dugu Cheng straightened his back and said: "Don't be anxious, isn't there still a place for you?"
"Can you come in?" Dugu Wudu asked.
"I plan to discuss this with Yu Shiqian."
"Where's Dou's side?"
"Them?" Dugu Cheng sneered, "They have been seeking death again and again, how can they help now."
Dugu Huaien reminded: "Recently, many Guanlong people are leaning towards the Yu family."
"I know." Dugu Cheng said: "But you don't think about it, how long can Yu Shiqian last? After he dies, isn't it obvious that the people of Guanlong want to see who speaks. Looking at the children of the Yu family, those in Chang'an
There are only a few, so why worry.”
Dugu Huaien nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly what happened."
Seeing Dugu Wudu's gloomy expression, Dugu Cheng comforted him and said, "I plan to write to the King of Chu to recommend you as the governor of Anzhou."
"Anzhou?"
"Well, Li Daliang has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. He is transferred to Liangzhou. This is your opportunity."
"Anzhou, it's not bad." Dugu Wudu finally showed a smile on his face.
Although he was not an official in Chang'an, he would not mind if he was the governor of a big state like Anzhou.
However, things developed beyond Du Gucheng's expectation.
At the court meeting the next day, before anyone could recommend him to Dugu Wudu, Du Ruhui directly said that Yu Yongning, the governor of Shangzhou, had been very effective in governing the place and should be promoted.
This proposal was approved by Chen Shuda and other prime ministers.
Li Zhiyun then transferred Yu Yongning to be the governor of Anzhou.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun appointed Dugu Wudu as the governor of Shangzhou.
After a series of transfers were completed, Dugu Cheng didn't say a word.
After leaving the court.
Dugucheng found Yu Shiqian.
"Yu Gong, didn't you agree to recommend my brother to be the governor of Anzhou? Why did he become Yu Yongning?"
Yu Shiqian glanced at him and said, "This is the decision of the Political Affairs Hall."
In fact, he met the King of Chu in private. At that time, Li Zhiyun decided to promote Yu Yongning as the governor of Anzhou, and he readily accepted it and completely forgot about Dugu Cheng's words.
Why would he refuse such a good thing?
"real?"
"real."
Dugu Cheng frowned, he always felt that Yu Shiqian was deceiving him.
Dugu Wudu, who did not go to Anzhou but finally went to Shangzhou, lost his temper with Dugu Cheng.
How can a place like Shangzhou be compared with Anzhou?
"I won't go!" Dugu Wudu shouted.
Dugucheng said with a headache: "This is an order from the imperial court."
"What is the order from the court? This is Li Zhiyun's decision!" Dugu Wudu said angrily: "We support him, but he treats us like this. It is simply unreasonable!"
After saying this, Dugu Huaien on the side lowered his head silently. He is now the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and this official is not low.
Dugu Cheng tried his best to persuade: "Brother, if you don't go, wouldn't you be disobeying the imperial court? Don't do anything stupid."
"Then I'll pretend to be sick!" Dugu Wudu sneered: "Li Zhiyun wants to send me away? Absolutely impossible!"
Dugu Huai'en then asked: "Are you really going to make King Chu unhappy?"
"If this is really the case, what can he do to me!" Dugu Wudu glared, "Without our support, I don't see how he can stay in Guanzhong."
"That's enough!" Dugucheng said angrily: "Do you want to rebel?"
"You dare to yell at me?" Dugu Wudu looked at Dugu Cheng in disbelief.
Dugu Cheng said angrily: "What's wrong with you? I am the head of the Dugu family. If you disobey me, don't blame me for being unkind!"
"you!"
"I tell you, either you go to Shangzhou or you never serve as an official."
"Bastard!" Dugu Wudu rolled up his sleeves and had a strong tendency to take action.
Fortunately, Dugu Huaien stopped him, otherwise things would have been even worse.
He said: "Brother, this time Yu Yongning is transferred as the governor of Anzhou. It is difficult to say that Yu Shiqian has not colluded with the King of Chu in private. If you commit trouble and implicate the Dugu family, wouldn't it give the Yu family an opportunity to expand its power?
Furthermore, although the Dou family is weak now, if we arouse the hostility of the King of Chu, he may re-employ the Dou family and share a piece of the pie with others. In this way, what will fall into our mouths
How many more bites are there?”
Dugu Wudu's expression changed again and again, but in the end he did not continue to resist.
"As you wish!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Dugucheng said angrily: "You are so ambitious. You haven't made any achievements yet, and you still want to be the governor of Anzhou. I don't know what you mean!"
"Okay, don't be angry." Dugu Huaien said.
Li Zhiyun did not deliberately target Dugu Wudu. In fact, he had no impression of Dugu Wudu.
The reason why he did this was mainly to appease and win over the Guanlong people.
Of course, he also had other thoughts.
He had received a secret report before, and the people of Guanlong were ready to recommend Dugu to become the new prime minister.
Is this possible?
impossible!
Lao Li finally kicked Dou and Dugu out of the political hall, but Li Zhiyun lost his mind and called them back.
The purpose of attaching great importance to the Yu clan was to find opponents for the Dugu clan.
If the people of Guanlong were monolithic, that would be a big problem.
Who doesn’t have ambition? Who doesn’t want his children to be in high positions?
He just gave Yu a little boost.
Yuezhou.
Li Xiaogong raised an army of 30,000 people and attacked Lin Shihong in the south. He destroyed Lin Shihong's troops along the way and beat Lin Shihong's troops violently, besieging him in Yuezhou and unable to move.
Under Xiangyin City, the flag of the Tang Dynasty was flying.
Li Xiaogong and Li Jing stood on horseback.
"Pharmacist, who is the guard in the city?"
"The younger brother of the rebel Lin Shihong, Lin Yaoshi."
"Pharmacist Lin?" Li Xiaogong was startled, then sneered, "Sure enough, my pharmacist from the Tang Dynasty is stronger."
Hearing this, Li Jing smiled, the wind was light and the clouds were calm.
In fact, he doesn't look down on such rebels at all. Be it Xiao Mian or Lin Shihong, they can be dealt with casually by these bastards.
There is really nothing to be proud of in defeating them.
Li Xiaogong said: "The pharmacist has made outstanding contributions in killing Lin Shihong this time. When he returns to Beijing one day, he will definitely be praised by the King of Chu. Congratulations to the pharmacist."
"It's too early to say this now, let's catch Lin Shihong first." Li Jing remained calm and low-key as always.
However, thinking of King Chu, he felt a little emotional.
