Changsun Wuji is different from Fang Qiao and Yu Zhining. He is Li Shimin's uncle and confidant. He can say many things that are inconvenient for Fang Qiao and Yu Zhining to say.
"The Tang Dynasty has not yet been unified. It is too early to think about these things now." Li Shimin shook his head.
Persuading people also pays attention to methods. Changsun Wuji knew his brother-in-law's thoughts very well, so he said: "I hope that Your Highness will pay attention to it and say goodbye."
Li Shimin's eyes flashed as he watched his uncle leave. He walked out of the house, came to the corridor, and sat next to his wife.
Princess Qin leaned gently in her husband's arms, took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"The child didn't bother you, did he?"
"No, it's only been three months."
Li Shimin looked at the trees in the courtyard and sighed slightly.
Changsun said: "Erlang, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"you say."
Changsun said: "My mother left early, and the Crown Princess will take care of King Qi's marriage. My father has agreed to this matter. Now, Wan Guifei in the palace is busy with the affairs of the harem, and I'm afraid she has no time to take care of King Chu's marriage. Concubine
As a sister-in-law, I should relieve my brother's worries."
"This matter requires Zhiyun's consent."
"What if Concubine Wan Gui agrees?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at his wife. At this time, Changsun also looked at him.
The husband and wife have a perfect understanding and don't need to say anything.
"Thank you for your hard work." He hugged his wife.
Changsun shook her head, "This is what I should do."
East Palace.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Liu Wenjing and Li Yuanji sat face to face, ignoring each other and keeping their heads aside without speaking.
Li Jiancheng was speechless in the middle and could only give Li Gang a look.
However, Li Gang was indifferent. Although Li Gang didn't know what was going on between Li Yuanji and Liu Wenjing, he still knew about the imperial edict. Plus, with the prince in the middle, his intuition told him that the matter was not simple.
As the prince, Zhan Shi, assists and teaches the prince. He should solve the prince's problems, but in the current situation, he does not want to get involved because the prince obviously has something to hide from him.
Li Gang was indifferent, and Li Jiancheng could only look at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting understood and said: "Although the two of you are not successful in conquering Xue Ju this time, His Highness the Crown Prince has given you two opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so there is no need to be so angry."
Tired?
Which of your eyes saw that I was tired? Liu Wenjing understood that Wei Ting was trying to make peace. However, he didn't really want to break up with Li Yuanji.
Immediately, he got off the donkey along the slope and thanked the prince for speaking kindly in front of the emperor and giving him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Li Jiancheng asked: "Xiang Liu, is it really Yin Kaishan who suggested Yuan Ji attack?"
Liu Wenjing nodded, "That's true. He said he could use the King of Qin's illness to induce Xue Ju to take action."
King Qin fell ill?
Li Jiancheng is not a fool. He knows very well who Yin Kaishan is. Now some things seem to have explanations.
Second brother, what a good idea.
Li Gang said nothing and watched coldly as they discussed the failure of the conquest of Xue Ju.
With his wisdom, he already has some understanding.
Li Jiancheng said: "No matter what, since this matter is in the past, let's not pursue it anymore. Xue Ju is a serious problem now, so let's deal with Xue Ju first."
"That's what His Highness the Crown Prince said." Liu Wenjing handed over his hand. He had never thought about making things like this. He could only say that Li Yuanji was a variable.
Li Yuanji said calmly: "The King of Qin is going on an expedition, so everything will be fine."
Knowing that he was upset, Li Jiancheng comforted him and said, "Okay Yuanji, that's it for now."
Li Yuanji still wanted to give Li Jiancheng face, so he snorted and didn't mention it again.
Everyone discussed it and then dispersed.
Li Gang was the last to leave. He looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "The prince seems to be hiding something from me."
Li Jiancheng did not hide anything, and revealed his suspicions about King Qin's illness and Yin Kaishan's deliberate attempt to lure King Qi into action.
After hearing this, Li Gang only warned: "Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty has not yet unified the world, and some things should be stopped. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
"Master Li said that I should keep it in my heart."
Li Jiancheng naturally understood that Li Gang was reminding him not to be troublesome, and he also felt that the current situation was a bit beyond expectations.
Especially, it was the matter of the common people falling ill.
Li Yuan's envoy worked hard and sent the news to Bazhou within ten days.
Li Zhiyun was eating Haagen-Dazs when he received the news. The weather in August was still very hot, especially in the Bashu region.
"What do you think?"
Haagen-Dazs is made from a mixture of goat's milk and fruit pulp. It tastes pretty good. Although it doesn't have the taste of real Haagen-Dazs, it can barely make Li Zhiyun swallow it. It's still more comfortable than chewing ice cubes.
Du Ruhui wiped the ice on his beard on his chin and thought: "Although Xue Ju occupied Jingzhou, the Western Qin Dynasty was not engaged in production, so there must not be much grain. As long as Jingzhou has strong walls and clear fields, Xue Ju will not be able to hold on for long."
"Do you support King Qin?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"Yes." Du Ruhui said truthfully: "I think King Qin's plan is right."
"Is it Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan who are wrong, or King Qi?"
Can you still talk properly? Boss, can we not mention this? Du Ruhui said bitterly, "Your Majesty, I think you are a saint and let the King of Qin go to war again. You must understand."
Xue Yuanjing did not dwell on this, but said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Shannan Road is about to recover. If you ask Your Majesty to return to Chang'an at this time, what will happen to Shannan Road?"
"The imperial edict has said that Xiaogong should be in charge."
"What about the king?" Xue Yuanjing asked. Naturally, he was not asking where Li Zhiyun was going, but what to do with Li Zhiyun's achievements.
This is equivalent to being cut off.
Li Zhiyun also understood and said directly: "My father has promised in the imperial edict that when he returns to Chang'an, he will confer the title of Shannan Daxingtai Shangshu Ling and the general manager of Liangzhou. By the way, he also gave many rewards."
"But the person in charge of Shannan Road is Li Xiaogong." Xue Yuanjing reminded.
Li Zhiyun said: "It doesn't matter. My father has already stated in the imperial edict that the appointment of personnel in various states in Shannan Province is entirely up to me."
"That's good." Xue Yuanjing felt that this reward was not bad, at least he didn't give it an empty name.
Li Zhiyun continued: "I have decided to let you temporarily serve as the Zuopushe of Shannan Road Xingtai, and cooperate with Xiaogong to manage the affairs of Shannan Road."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
The official position of Zuopushe is very cool, but with the prefix "Shannan Daoxingtai", it becomes less cool.
Because Shannan Road is classified as a temporary war zone, there is no central left-shooting position with high weight.
"Keming, you and I will go to Jingzhou. If you come back safe and sound, I will recommend you to be the governor of Liangzhou."
Du Ruhui nodded, "I humble my duty and obey my orders."
After completing his instructions, Li Zhiyun appointed Duan Zhixuan as the commander-in-chief of the Shannan Road march to assist Li Xiaogong in managing the troops.
Later, he returned to Chang'an with Du Ruhui and Xie Shufang.
