. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

Li Mi, who had never expressed his position, knelt down again, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, Li Mi is grateful. To be honest, this refuge was not what I wanted, but because most of the brothers were captured by Wang Shichong, life and death were uncertain. I don't want to live, but I beg Your Majesty to send troops to rescue him, although he can't repay him for his death! ”

"What about that!" Li Yuan sighed and helped Li Mi up again, patted his hand, and said: "Wang Shichong sells his reputation and reputation, and his people are even more brutal, and the gods are angry. Mo said that it was for the sake of many heroes and heroes in Wagang, even if Xuan Di didn't come, I would vow to crusade against him. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Mi arched his hand heavily, and a trace of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Li Yuan couldn't help frowning and glanced at Yuan Ziyan again, this woman is not simple, quoting scriptures and classics, and quite insightful. Even Li Yuan had a faint worry, if she got close to any prince, it would cause a lot of fighting. It's just that Li Yuan has put these words in his heart, and what needs to be solved urgently at the moment is, of course, Li Mi's problem.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's words made the court appear one-sided, everyone felt that Li Mi was not reliable enough, it was because he had only known that talents were terrible, and if he was entrusted with important tasks in the future, wouldn't it be self-inflicted.

Therefore, since Li Jiancheng has torn his face, everyone has also spoken out, and all kinds of worries have been spoken, Yuan Ziyan was dizzy when he heard it, if he wants to say that he is not emotional, these officials are even worse, and they dare to say anything in person. Li Jiancheng was proud, looking at Li Mi coldly, as long as he was there, it would be difficult for Li Seal to form this time.

As everyone said, Li Mi was ashamed and couldn't bear it. Please allow Your Majesty to make meritorious service to Li Midai. Worry about you! Li Mi arched his hand.

Li Yuan also made a difficulty, Li Mi is a rare talent, and if you get it, you can win the world. If you are angry with these people, it must be a huge loss. And as long as he is there, the old department of the Wagang Army will definitely come to defect one after another, and when the time comes, there will be more room for display.

Yuan Ziyan also saw that Li Shimin was a slippery head, and it hadn't reached the white-hot stage anyway. Not a word, not a word.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei is not guilty. On the contrary, there is merit, and it is a great merit. Suddenly, a calm voice came, and everyone looked back. It was Li Mi who was walking at the back of the middle-aged thin man who spoke. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were shining, it was Wei Zheng who had returned together.

"Oh? What is this again? "Actually, Li Mi has already introduced it just now, but Wei Zheng has an ordinary appearance and doesn't like words, so no one noticed him.

"Little Wei Zheng, the word Xuancheng, a person from Julu County." Wei Zheng arched his hand and said.

"Wei Zheng?" Li Yuan showed an appreciative look. After all, those who dare to be calm in front of the Son of Heaven are not ordinary people. "Then come up and tell me about it. What is the merit of Xuandi? ”

Wei Zheng walked in square steps without hurry, came to Li Yuan, bowed again, and said, "If you want to say that the credit of Duke Wei should be on Your Majesty." ”

"Nonsense, Li Mi didn't follow his father to raise troops, and he only got to see each other today, what is the merit?" Li Yuanji said impatiently: "If you want to be far-fetched, you will definitely cut off your dog's head!" ”

"Wei Zheng came from a humble background, but he was not afraid of life and death, with the respect of the king of Qi, he spoke obscurity in public, wouldn't it be humiliating himself?" Wei Zheng immediately retorted.

Li Yuanji's nose was crooked, and he wanted to say a few more words, but he was pulled aside by Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng is also a person with brains, Wei Zheng dares to act and dare to be, he is a masterpiece, he only targets Li Mi, but he has a good impression of Wei Zheng.

Also with shining eyes is Li Shimin, who is a figure that is difficult to see in the court.

Wei Zheng looked unfazed, and said: "Before, although Duke Wei did not raise troops with His Majesty, but he cut off the return route of the Sui army, defeated Yu Wenhua, injured his vitality, and blocked the Eastern Capital and contained Wang Shichong, it is precisely because of the merits of Duke Wei that His Majesty can easily occupy Chang'an." Let me ask Your Majesty, if you want to talk about this work, who else can take on it except Duke Wei? ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a satisfied smile, although it was a bit far-fetched, but this is indeed a fact, when the east was in a mess, Li Yuan took advantage of the chaos to occupy Daxing City at that time. In addition, Daxing's name change is also a matter just now, and Wei Zheng has been publicly applied, which shows that although he is straightforward, he is also a steady person with a fine heart.

Hahaha, Li Yuan laughed again and asked, "But who else is not convinced?" ”

This time, everyone kept their mouths shut, and taking all the factors into account, Li Yuan immediately canonized Li Mi as Guangluqing and crowned Xing Guogong. Some people may ask, this Guangluqing sounds very magnificent, and at first glance it is a central position, what is it about?

The official position is not low, but there is no real power, in the Tang Dynasty, he was in charge of the royal diet, piggyback on the tent utensils and the like. Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Mi's ambitions and hobbies, and he has no military power, for a military strategist, isn't it equivalent to pension in advance?

But then again, the person who is in charge of royal affairs is also trustworthy, and the diet is the most important thing, in case there is a malicious poison or something, isn't it more than fighting?

Therefore, although Li Mi was very disappointed in his heart, he still reluctantly pretended to be happy to accept it. Since then, Li Jiancheng and the others have been bitter every time they eat, because they have to use a silver needle to measure it several times, and they have to let the eunuchs and palace maids eat first in advance, and they are hungry, but they have to wait to ensure that they are not poisonous before eating. Of course, Li Jiancheng and the others are purely unfounded, Li Mizhi is not here, and he has not arranged a meal.

The rest of the people also have their own gifts, and the official rewards are not low, and they are still being made, so they are all happy. At this time, Yuan Ziyan quietly glanced at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had been avoiding her gaze because he wanted to clear himself.

And when the eyes of the two finally intersected, Li Shimin immediately realized that Yuan Ziyan had something to say to himself. I saw Yuan Ziyan secretly pointing at Wei Zheng, and then quietly giving a thumbs up, Li Shimin immediately understood that she wanted to express that Wei Zheng was a good person and wanted to win over him.

It's just that due to Li Shimin's deliberate avoidance, Yuan Ziyan was looked at by Li Yuanji, and hurriedly pushed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng secretly, Li Jiancheng smiled slightly, and had an idea in his heart.

"Father!" Li Shimin cherished his talent and took a step forward to say, but at this time, Li Jiancheng also shouted his father, because the position was higher than Li Shimin, and he was the eldest son, of course Li Yuan had to let Li Jiancheng speak first.

"Father, the sons admire Mr. Wei's talents, and want to invite him into the palace to be the sons and daughters' masters, and always mention some mistakes."

After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Yuan Ziyan slapped his head anxiously, in the end, he was a step slower, this Li Jiancheng is too thief. But it's no wonder that Li Shimin's brother can be worse, but compared to the radiant Li Shimin, it seems a little inferior.

"Father is glad that you are so motivated, and I agreed." Li Yuan immediately made a decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng calmly kowtowed to thank him, but said something that made Li Shimin angry: "It's just that Weichen has something unclear." ”

"Please!"

"Now that Your Majesty has won the world, the second prince has been named the king of Qin, and the fourth prince is the king of Qi, but why is the eldest prince not canonized? The prince is nameless and undivided, and the government can recruit officials privately? Wei Zheng really doesn't know, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear! Wei Zheng asked.

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Ziyan suddenly wilted, and Li Shimin regretted it even more, it seems that Wei Zheng has also grown a loyal heart, grateful to Li Jiancheng for his appreciation, and came up to help. In fact, Li Shimin also intended to take the initiative to mention Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, in order to gain greater trust from his father and ease the tension between the brothers, but he was unwilling and always delayed again and again.

"What do you think?" Li Yuan looked at Wei Zheng meaningfully, and also saw that he was outspoken and wanted to hear the truth.

"The eldest prince is suave, quite courageous, and healthy, and the heirs are prosperous, presumably His Majesty has already made up his mind that the eldest prince is naturally the best candidate for the crown prince!" Wei Zheng said bluntly.

"Hey, big brother, big brother!" Li Yuanji rubbed his hands excitedly, he couldn't even speak, Li Jiancheng was even more moved and almost cried, this matter was undecided, the second brother Li Shimin's military exploits were one after another, and some people in the army had already said that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was laid by Li Shimin, and even his father began to rely on him very much. Although the father will not dislike the eldest son because of Li Shimin, but in the long run, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a day when he will be shaken!

Li Yuan heard Wei Zheng's words, nodded emphatically, Li Jiancheng has no major problems, he is considered an outstanding young man, in fact, the reason why he has been rewarding Li Jiancheng is not just because of Li Shimin, but because he hopes to stimulate Li Jiancheng's fighting spirit and let him make some achievements.

"Please canonize the crown prince as soon as possible, the court will be stable, and the society is hopeful!" The civil and military officials also knelt down in unison to plead, and Li Mi also knelt down.

"Good!" Li Yuan finally made up his mind that if he did not establish the crown prince as soon as possible, it would inevitably cause a storm of contention for the prince, and it would not be too late to make a futile contribution in the future, so he said: "The eldest son was built, heroic and beautiful, benevolent and filial piety, and won my heart, that is, he was awarded the title of treasure and established as the crown prince!" ”

"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Li Jiancheng knelt on the ground with a puff, tears of excitement flowed out, he refused to get up for a long time, and thanked him again and again. In fact, it's not that I'm grateful, but I'm too excited, my legs are weak, and I can't get up at all.

Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, and then looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin's face was really not good-looking, but he was also very helpless to follow everyone to congratulate Li Jiancheng, who made the family the eldest son, born a few years earlier, it was better than countless credits!

"In addition, Feng Wei Zheng washed the horse for the prince and enjoyed the five-grade official salary." Li Yuan personally gave Wei Zheng an official title, in fact, this is from the fifth grade, which is equivalent to giving him half a level. Wei Zheng thanked him and didn't mention it.

After retiring from the dynasty, everyone went to rest first, Li Mi took Yang Gao and left in a hurry, and Yuan Ziyan went to chase Li Shimin, who had not been seen for a long time. (To be continued......)
