Since knowing that Li Yuan had made a plan to deal with Liu Wuzhou, the reactions of the three brothers Li Tang were different, Li Yuanji practiced martial arts with Xue Wanche in the mansion, and waited for Liu Wuzhou to conquer when the time came, and when the time came, he would make meritorious contributions and wash away the shame, while Li Shimin wanted to see Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's jokes because of the conspiracy, and Li Jiancheng had been thinking hard about how to deal with Dugu Huaien. www.biquge.info Because Li Jiancheng knew that with Liu Wuzhou's style of acting, he would definitely collude with Dugu Huaien to pull Li Yuanji's back leg on Li Yuanji's march during the march. In order to thoroughly understand the situation of Ma Yi, Li Jiancheng found Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie, and Lu Shengzhi:

"Lord Xu, Lord Di, and Lord Lu, there is something I want to discuss with you when this palace is looking for the two of you today.

"Please make it clear to the prince!?" Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie, and Lu Shengzhi replied in unison, and Li Jiancheng said the concerns in his heart:

"The three adults, that Dugu Huaien has surrendered to his father and told him about his defection to the enemy, and his father has been instigated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and is bent on solving the problem of the division of Mayi, and issued an order to let Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, be the commander, and the palace is only worried about one thing now, that is, the king of Qi is on the way to the army, and Dugu Huaien will suddenly make trouble in the back. When the time comes, our Li Tang will fall short again! Looking at Li Jiancheng's anxious look, Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie, and Lu Shengzhi all knew that the situation was serious.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing that must be resolved at the moment." Di Renjie's voice entered the ears of Li Jiancheng, Xu Jingzong and Lu Shengzhi. Li Jiancheng, Xu Jingzong and Lu Shengzhi immediately looked at Di Renjie:

"Your Highness, then Liu Wuzhou has just sent Dingxiang to the Turkic Lingli Khan, if we start a war with Mayi, the Turkic Lingli Khan will probably send troops to intervene!" Di Renjie is right, the relationship between the current Turks and the Central Plains is like the relationship between the democratic empire and neon and ASEAN in later generations, the relationship between the suzerainty and the servants. And if it weren't for Di Renjie's reminder, Li Jiancheng almost forgot about this stubble.

"Huaiying is right! The matter is indeed urgent. Bengong only thought about how to deal with Li Shimin, but he didn't notice this layer, and he was still thoughtful! It's better to leave this matter to Huaiying! Di Renjie excused himself:

"Wechen thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his trust, but Wechen has a more suitable candidate."

"Oh! There is a more suitable candidate than Ren Jieqing, this palace wants to hear who can enter Ren Jieqing's eyes! Li Jiancheng made a joke to Di Renjie, Xu Jingzong also laughed with Li Jiancheng because he had long regarded Di Renjie as a closed disciple, and Lu Shengzhi had to bow his head and purse his lips without saying a word because of his presumptuous qualifications and sports department in front of Di Zhixun. Di Renjie also smiled:

"Your Highness, this person is actually known to His Royal Highness, that is the Xiangguo of Fugong Tuo - Zuo Youxian!"

"What? It's him! Li Jiancheng was a little strange about Di Renjie's recommendation of this person:

"Why does Ren Jieqing recommend Zuo Youxian? Tell me your reasoning! ”

Weichen recommended Zuo Youxian for several reasons:

First, Zuo Youxian is the Xiangguo of Fugong Tuo, when he was in the salt shortage in Guanzhong, he was once under house arrest by Liu Wuzhou and extorted a horse of sea salt, Zuo Youxian has always held a grudge, and Zuo Youxian came forward to dredge, it can be said that it is because Zuo Youxian wants to take revenge, so that it will not arouse the disgust and vigilance of the Turkic Lili Khan, second, Zuo Youxian has a lot of relationships in the Turks We don't know, compared to the humble ministers, it is simply the sea dragon king and the beggar Bibao, there is nothing more, why don't we make use of such resources; Third, Zuo Youxian has already served the prince, if the prince does not use it, then it is difficult to guarantee that Zuo Youxian will be resentful and not good for the prince. Listening to Di Renjie's three reasons, Li Jiancheng nodded, Di Renjie was right, Zuo Youxian was already Li Jiancheng's subordinate in a sense, and when he learned that Zuo Youxian had co-opted and contacted Luoyang Wang Shichong, Le Shou Cao Dan, Ma Yi Liu Wuzhou, and said that the Turks would deal with Li Tang together, causing the salt shortage in Guanzhong, Li Jiancheng also sighed that Zuo Youxian was also a talent, and it was a talent that should be used, if not, with Zuo Youxian's conceited character, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would be unfavorable to himself, and now Jianghuai has not been pacified, Zuo Youxian also has a great use value. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng boasted to Di Renjie:

"Huaiying! Your scheming is getting more and more sophisticated. Hongu is very pleased! Di Renjie said humbly:

"This is all because His Royal Highness is willing to give Huaiying a chance, and it is also Lord Xu's teaching to the humble ministers." Li Jiancheng nodded, and said in his heart: "It's really a degree of advance and retreat, not only slapping the sycophants of the palace, but also not letting Xu Jingzong feel like falling out of favor, the son can be taught!" Xu Jingzong was also proud to have such an outstanding disciple as Di Renjie: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I, Xu Jingzong, would go to find a world wizard like Di Huaiying." Li Jiancheng instructed Di Renjie and Lu Shengzhi:

"Huaiying, the matter of going to the Turkic lobbying is as you said, and the palace will be handed over to Zuo Youxian to handle, but the palace still hopes that Huaiying will still work hard and accompany Zuo Youxian to go together, in this case, there will be some care on the road." Di Renjie knew in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still not at ease with Zuo Youxian, but Di Renjie also knew through the history books that as a monarch, he couldn't immediately trust a person who had just surrendered, even if he was an old minister who had served the king for many years, the king of the county would take three precautions, in a sense, only the dead are the most reliable in the world, this is the traditional emperor's mental technique.

"Yes! Bechen understands. ”

"Hmmm! Be careful on the road, the Turks are located in the north, the climate is cold, you have to bring more clothes, a few days ago, someone gave the palace four high-quality fox skins, today just came in handy, the palace immediately ordered the next person, the four high-quality fox skins made into shawls, and when Ren Jieqing and Zuo Youxian went on the road, they gave Ren Jieqing and Zuo Youxian to keep out the cold together! ”

"Yes! The humble minister thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the reward. On the day when Di Renjie and Zuo Youxian sent an envoy to the Turks, Li Jiancheng held a banquet in the East Palace of the Princes for Di Renjie and Zuo Youxian to practice:

"Come on! Ren Jieqing! Zuo Qing! This time to go to the Turks, the wind and sand are smart, the mountains are high and the road is far away, the palace is slightly prepared today, for the two of them to practice, the wine is thin. Please don't mind! As soon as Zuo Youxian heard that Li Jiancheng did not call him Lord Zuo or Zuo Xiangguo, but called himself Zuo Qing, and personally poured wine for himself, he felt that he had included himself in the list of cronies, so he was moved in his heart:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, before coming here, Master Di has already explained the purpose of this envoy to the Turks to the minister, and the minister will definitely help Lord Di complete the mission!" Li Jiancheng and Zuo Youxian waved his hand after finishing speaking:

"Zuo Qing, if you think like this, you are very wrong." As soon as Zuo Youxian heard that he was very wrong by understanding Ai's nickname, he was scared in his heart, and felt that he had angered Li Jiancheng, so he immediately put down the wine glass and knelt in front of Li Jiancheng to plead guilty:

"Ahh The criminal minister is only shallow in his knowledge, and he doesn't understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means, and where he angers His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince! Li Jiancheng helped Zuo Youxian up and comforted Zuo Youxian:

"What is Zuo Qing doing, this palace said that Zuo Qing you are very wrong, not because Zuo Qing has any sins, but because this envoy to the Turks is mainly Zuo Qing, and Ren Jieqing is Zuo Qing's deputy. All important affairs are arranged by Zuo Qing. ”

"Ahh His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ...... I'm afraid it's not good! Zuo Youxian couldn't believe that Li Jiancheng would leave such a major matter to himself.

"Zuo Qing doesn't have to doubt it, Zuo Qing's talent, this palace is also very appreciative, plus this mission, Ren Jieqing strongly recommends Zuo Qing you, you can get Ren Jieqing's attention, Zuo Qing, you are the first!" Li Jiancheng deliberately said this because he wanted to dispel Zuo Youxian's defense against Di Renjie, Li Jiancheng had already secretly instructed Di Renjie to monitor Zuo Youxian, which was conducive to Di Renjie's secret operation, on the one hand, to prevent Zuo Youxian from doing things that were unfavorable to Li Tang when he was in Turkic, and on the other hand, if there was any emergency in Turkic, Zuo Youxian could also consult with Di Renjie, which was conducive to the development of Turkic work. Zuo Youxian was even more surprised when he heard that Di Renjie recommended himself to Li Jiancheng - Zuo Youxian and Di Renjie have nothing to do with each other, but he has heard many of Di Renjie's deeds in Li Jiancheng's mansion - such as using flies to find dead bodies because they like the smell of blood, helping Li Jiancheng recover Pei Lian, and going to the Turks with his father at a young age to help Li Jiancheng cause Turkic civil strife and weaken the strength of the Turks, etc., I know that Di Renjie, a young man, is very valued by Li Jiancheng, and he also observes from the side, Finding that Di Renjie is calm, cautious, and especially good at reasoning, Zuo Youxian has a vague premonition that once Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, Di Renjie will at least be a Jiuqing, and Di Zhixun and Di Renjie's father and son are likely to be in high positions in the future. Now when he heard that it was Di Renjie who recommended him, Zuo Youxian felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. Li Jiancheng ordered the eunuch to take out two fox fur shawls and drape the shawls on Zuo Youxian and Di Renjie with both hands:

"The Turks are located in the north, the climate is cold, these two fire fox shawls are made a few days ago, the local officials paid tribute to the palace of four high-quality fire fox skins, today the palace will give these two shawls to the two of you to keep out the cold!" Zuo Youxian couldn't hold back the excitement and emotion in his heart when Li Jiancheng put on a fire fox fur shawl for himself, even when he was in Jianghuai, Fu Gongtuo didn't respect himself so much, so Zuo Youxian cried loudly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the guilty minister was embarrassed with His Royal Highness the Prince, but now fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not give up, Wechen swears that he will definitely help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to complete the mission of the Turks, and will definitely not let us Li Tang worry about the future when he fights with Ma Yi, if he can't complete this mission, Wechen is willing to fight with his life." Di Renjie also knelt down to Li Jiancheng next to him:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the humble ministers can get the gift of His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the future, they will be broken for His Royal Highness the Prince, and they will not hesitate!"

Attached: The Gift of the Scholars - That is, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to recruit talents, the monarchs of the countries competing for hegemony ate the same utensils and traveled in the same car with the scholars they admired, and if they wore clothes, it was the highest honor.
