In fact, Chai Shao and the Wagang generals headed by Qin Qiong had no grudges, and they didn't even have any interactions with each other. Because Chai Shao was always impartial in the battle for the right to inherit the throne in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and he followed his father-in-law, so naturally there was no discussion.
Offending Li Zhiyun will not cause any conflicts with Qin Qiong and others.
The reason why the two sides have become more and more unfamiliar is mainly because of Chai Shao's own problems and Li Zhiyun's ascension to the throne.
When Li Zhiyun was still the prince, Chai Shao's status in the court dropped a lot due to the death of the king of Longxi. In addition, he was not Li Zhiyun's person, so Li Zhiyun did not have much trust in him.
After the Turks were wiped out, Li Zhiyun asked Chai Shao to go with him to escort the grain and grass, which was a signal to him.
I have no problem with you.
Qin Qiong and others have been following Li Zhiyun. As Li Zhiyun ascended the throne, their status naturally became higher and higher.
Comparing the two will inevitably make Chai Shao feel disappointed.
However, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong and others are all smart people. They may have troubles in their hearts, but they won't show it on their faces.
But their children are different. The former Wenwu children of Shence Mansion naturally want to be closer and will subconsciously unite together.
As for Chai Zhewei, since the emperor was his uncle and my mother was the legitimate daughter of the late emperor, he naturally acted arrogantly.
Therefore, contradictions are inevitable.
However, in Chai Shao's view, this is actually a minor problem and harmless.
What he really couldn't accept was that he had been living like this and waiting to die. He thought that when his father-in-law was in power, he was still a consort with military power and a high position, and was attracted by the prince and the king of Qin in turns.
But now?
In the court, he was submissive and had no real power. Everything depended on the emperor's face. It's not that he was dissatisfied with the emperor, he just felt that this gap was really uncomfortable.
"Then what did you think about it?" Li Xiuning picked up the tea cup from the stone table and took a sip and asked her husband.
Chai Shao hesitated for a while, his eyes wandering.
"I...I also want to go to the grassland and take care of Dalang."
Hearing this, Li Xiuning didn't even think about it. This was not the truth. He immediately put the teacup on the stone table with a 'bang' sound.
He gave Chai Shao a look; (﹁﹁)~→
Chai Shao; Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
The moment the couple's eyes met.
Chai Shao said like he was pouring beans into his bamboo tube: "Actually, I also want to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. You don't want to see me eating, drinking and having fun every day."
"Isn't it good to eat, drink and have fun?" Li Xiuning asked first, and then said: "The world has been unified and the Turks have been destroyed. You can stay in Chang'an and enjoy yourself, but what are you not satisfied with the wishes of everyone in the world?"
Chai Shao didn't say anything. He felt in his heart that he could still fight and there was no need to retire in advance.
But he didn't dare to say this to his wife.
Li Xiuning added: "Also, this is not the whole truth."
Chai Shao;ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜
"What, your wings are stiff, I can't control you anymore?" Li Xiuning narrowed her eyes.
Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I guess your Majesty may want to take action against Xue Yantuo. I want to do something for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Xiuning hummed: "If you have this intention, just tell me directly. Why do you need to be so secretive?"
Chai Shao lowered his head in shame, like a little daughter-in-law who was bullied by her husband.
Li Xiuning tapped her fingers on the stone table and said, "Tomorrow I will go into the palace to see His Majesty and have a chat with him."
As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiuning was naturally qualified to request an audience with the emperor at any time.
"Thank you, madam." Chai Shao said with a smile.
So what if he is not favored by His Majesty, but his wife is His Majesty's sister and the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as his wife is around, no one can touch him.
Eating soft rice is definitely not delicious, but eating soft rice from the Tian family princess should not be too delicious. Of course, the premise is that you don't meet some weird princesses.
Historically, Princess Liu Han and Princess Li Tang were relatively outstanding. The remaining Princesses of Zhao Song and Princess Zhu Ming are not worth mentioning.
Of the latter two, although Princess Zhu Ming is not famous, she still has a "princess status". As for Princess Zhao and Song, she is really not that good. Mainly because of the shame of Jingkang, Princess Zhao and Song fell into the hands of the Jin Dynasty.
As a result, Princess Zhao Song became quite worthless, even disrespectful. Not to mention causing trouble, even they themselves had nothing outstanding.
It's ridiculous to say that Song Huizong was also a prophet. He changed the princess to the emperor's concubine, and he hit the nail on the head.
Because if the emperors and concubines are in the hands of the Jin people, aren't they just "Ji"?
Although Princess Li Tang has a strong sense of presence, facing a horseback emperor like Li Zhiyun, no one dares to point her nose in and make irresponsible remarks.
Even when Li Xiuning met Li Zhiyun, she was quite polite.
Changle Hall.
"Sister, you haven't been in the palace for a while." Li Zhiyun greeted with a smile.
As far as Li Zhiyun is concerned, as long as his sisters don't cause trouble for him, he can provide them with favorable living conditions and even give them a certain degree of autonomy in matters of marriage.
He is not Li Shimin, who likes to use his sisters, sisters and daughters to win over the family of heroes.
It's not worth it to lose your temper.
Besides, the children of the aristocratic family don't like Princess Shang at all now. They all want to marry girls of the fifth and seventh surnames.
In this case, how could Li Zhiyun greet him with a smile?
In fact, Li Zhiyun treats his sisters well enough. At least since he came to the throne, he has never done the bad thing of marrying a daughter of the clan to a foreign country.
"Your Majesty and the Queen are both busy people, why would I bother you by entering the palace every day?" Li Xiuning said casually.
Empress Yang smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I have time, but I want to go to the palace to have a good time together."
The three of them chatted for a while.
Li Xiuning said bluntly: "Your Majesty, your brother-in-law is worried about letting Zhewei go to the grassland. Do you think you can let him go with him?"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun knew that Chai Shao couldn't stay idle any longer.
"It just so happens that Shi, the governor of Huyan, has returned to the capital. I am considering who should take over the position. If my brother-in-law is willing, he might as well serve as the governor of the governor's office. How about that?"
"Very good." Li Xiuning said happily.
Li Zhiyun did not find it unacceptable to appoint Chai Shao. He had been on the throne for several years and the court was under his control. He was not worried about who would jump out to oppose him at this time. Moreover, Chai Shao had not offended him much before.
Chai Shao, it's just a favor to Li Xiuning, it's not a big deal.
Furthermore, Li Zhiyun felt unhappy because the gangsters from Chang'an Middle School were fighting in groups. Putting Chai Shao in the Huyan Governor's Mansion was also a move, and it would be good to see what happens next.
Next, Li Xiuning put her worries aside and happily chatted with Queen Yang. Li Zhiyun chatted casually for a few words before getting up and leaving.
Arriving at Tai Chi Hall, Li Jing and others had been waiting for a long time.
Li Zhiyun sat down on the throne and said: "After much thought, I decided to deploy the grassland as soon as possible. I know that it is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty to go to war at the moment and should rest and recuperate. Therefore, this time the matter of Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs is not the issue for the imperial court.
No troops will be sent.
However, you can contact other tribes in the grassland and borrow people from them to deal with Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs."
Yes, because of Tuyuhun, Li Zhiyun decided to kill Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs in advance.
However, this time, they were following the example of Wei Yunqi's destruction of the Khitan, using the grassland people to deal with the grassland people. The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty stood still, waiting for the last opportunity.
Whether it is feasible or not is debatable, but Li Zhiyun does not intend to give Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs a chance to breathe.
