Du Fuwei decided to surrender to Li Tang under the persuasion of Cen Wenwen, and before leaving, he said to Fu Gongtuo, who saw him off:

"Gongtuo, now that I'm leaving, Gongtuo will take over the important military and political affairs in the Jianghuai area. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't worry, the king is in charge of this Jianghuai, and there will be absolutely no chaos!" Du Fuwei looked at Fu Gongtuo and said in his heart: 'Hmph! Can't mess up, don't think I don't know your ambitions, after I leave, you will definitely strengthen your authority, fortunately, I will bring all my hardcore cronies to my side, you will make trouble for me in Jianghuai! 'Looking at Duvoy's carriage in the distance. Fu Gongtuo's cronies and staff Zuo Youxian stepped forward:

"My lord, now that the king has gone to Chang'an, and he has taken away all the diehard elements in the general, you will be alone in the world of Jianghuai in the future."

"Bold, presumptuous! The king went to Chang'an, I was appointed as the temporary regent, and the king will come back in the future, and when the king returns, I will still hand over the power of the country back to the king. Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zuo Youxian didn't say anything, but understood in his heart, 'Hmph! Three-year-old children will not throw away their favorite toys, let alone the power in their hands. ’

Chang'an - Li Jiancheng's Prince East Palace, Li Jiancheng was reviewing official documents, Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie came to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Highness, Jiangling Song Lingwen Feige Secret Report."

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng opened the scroll in Xu Jingzong's hand and looked at it carefully:

"Your Royal Highness: A strategist named Cen Wenwen that the King of Qin is looking for in Jiangling, this person is famous in the south, helping the King of Qin to stabilize the hearts of the people, and helping the King of Qin to successfully recruit Du Fuwei, and with the help of his wife's uncle Gao Shilian, Li Jing also successfully suppressed the three major slang leaders in Lingnan, and will soon face the saint with His Royal Highness King Qin, in addition, Li Jing, Cen Wenwen and Li Xiaogong have frequent conflicts, and the suppression of Lingnan is because Li Jing can't stand Li Xiaogong's refuge plan to instigate the child envoy in front of Li Shimin. Beichen has already laid an eyeliner between Li Xiaogong and Li Jingjun, and can secretly instigate the conflict between the two armies at any time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited to show me. ”

"Good! Ling Wen is really scheming, this palace didn't see the wrong person! Hearing Li Jiancheng's happy words, Di Renjie immediately complimented:

"This is all His Highness's discernment!" Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said:

"Your Royal Highness, now that Jingchu and Bashu have been pacified, it is imperative for His Royal Highness the King of Qin to move back to the dynasty, and the Holy One means to set up two positions of Bashu and Jingzhou Xingtai, Bashu Xingtai controls Bazhou and Yizhou, is responsible for Tuntian military training, hoards grain, grass and ordnance, appeases the Shu barbarians, and uses Bashu as a place for grain and grass soldiers to fight for hegemony in the future. And control all the land and water armies and barbarian armies in Jingchu Lingnan, and the geographical location of Jingzhou is extremely important, the north can directly point to Wang Shichong's Henan territory, the west can contain Bashu, the south can enter Lingnan, the east can drive straight into the south of the Yangtze River, and it must not fall into the hands of others! ”

"Indeed! A few days ago, the palace accompanied his father in the palace, and the father often said that Xu Shao's meritorious service in Xiazhou was remarkable, according to the palace, the official position of the head of the Bashu Xingtai will definitely be him, and the real competition should be the post of the head of Jingzhou Xingtai, and the head of Jingzhou holds a heavy army, and the father will not hand it over to a person with a foreign surname. According to the palace, this dispute between the governor of Jingzhou must have arisen in Li Ying and Li Xiaogong, Renjie, you go and find Lord Li Gang, Lord Yu Zhining, Lord Wang Gui, as well as Ling Zun, and Lord Huang Wenqing, and we will discuss it together. ”

"Yes!" After Li Gang and the others arrived, Li Jiancheng said to them:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that our army has taken Jingchu Bashu, Du Fuwei in Lingnan and Jiangnan has also surrendered to us under the inspiration of our dynasty. Moreover, the father has decided that when the people of the world move back to the dynasty, they will set up the governor of Jingzhou to stay in Jingzhou. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" Li Jiancheng told the concerns and thoughts in his heart to everyone present:

"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, this Jingzhou Xingtai manager has a lot of power, and must not fall into the hands of outsiders, according to the bottom of the view, if His Royal Highness wants to seize this position, he must start from the hearts of the people, then Li Xiaogong has a very bad reputation in Bashu and Jingchu, and likes to plunder the army, if he is the head of Jingzhou, it will inevitably cause a popular uprising, His Royal Highness must not let him sit in this position." Li Gang is always a person who has experienced the dispute between the former Sui prince, and he also knows that if Li Shimin is too powerful, he will definitely endanger the prince. His voice was echoed by Yu Zhining.

"Your Royal Highness, the key now is the emperor's attitude, you must know that King Qin is the first hero to pacify Jingzhou Bashu, if he has to recommend the King of Hejian as the head of Jingzhou, the saint has to consider it!" 王桂 says:

"Your Royal Highness, the minister thought that he could start with this matter, the king of Hejian is a land general, and he will use Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Luo Yi, Dou Jiande and others in the future, but he is not used to water warfare, and Jiangnan has not yet been pacified, Jiangnan has many water networks, and the prince of Lujiang has the original Xiao Liang water master in his hands, and it will be of great use in the future, and the minister will consider this reason for the saint." As soon as Dickinson spoke, the others nodded their heads one after another. Li Jiancheng listened to their opinions:

"Everyone, you first write a note and write all the reasons on it, and this palace will face the saint tomorrow, so as to persuade my father!" Sure enough, as Li Jiancheng expected, the DPRK and China divided the selection of the governor of Jingzhou into two factions, and the great Zongzheng Li Shentong, Liu Wenjing, Duan Zhixuan, and others supported Li Xiaogong as the governor of Jingzhou, saying that he had worked hard and made great achievements, and that he should be rewarded for his merits with this position, and should not hurt the hearts of the heroes. The former Sui Jiangnan civil officials, headed by Chen Shuda, openly opposed it.

"Your Majesty! Filial piety and hard work are high, and this position of the head of Jingzhou Xingtai University is well deserved. ”

"Your Majesty, the prince of Hejian plundered the people's property and robbed the folk women, and the people are very resentful, if the governor of Jingzhou Xingtai let him do it, then I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising in the future, and my dynasty is now in the period of chasing the deer, and there must be no chaos!" Chen Shuda opposed Li Xiaogong for another reason, that Li Xiaogong was cruel and greedy, the setting of the head of Jingzhou Xingtai was mainly for the purpose of pacifying Jiangnan in the future, Wang Shichong wreaked havoc in Jiangnan back then, which has made them miserable, if Li Xiaogong went to Jiangnan, it would not be more hateful than Wang Shichong, and naturally he was unwilling to let Li Xiaogong gain power, and most of the officials of the Longxi clan led by Pei Lin shut up and did not speak.

"The prince has arrived!" When Li Yuan saw the prince coming, he immediately asked Li Jiancheng:

"Prince, do you think that your supernatural uncle recommended Li Xiaogong to take the position of the head of Jingzhou Xingtai, but Master Chen Shuda is very opposed, I think what they say is reasonable, who do you think is better!?" The officials present all looked at Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng felt an invisible pressure coming towards him.

"Erchen thinks that there are many water networks in the south, if it is not a water war, then it will inevitably suffer, Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, recruits a precipitation master, and is very sensitive and studious, and is very respectful to the famous general Zhou Faming, a suitable candidate, and Li Xiaogong, the king of the river, is a general on the road, and his people are not used to water warfare, and Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande are based on the plains, and it will be of great use when Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande are pacified in the future, please decide!" Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and didn't speak, and then there was a shout outside the hall:

"Your Majesty, Li Zhe, King of Jinan County, Li An, King of Xiping County, Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, Li Daoxing, King of Guangning County, Li Daoli, King of Gaoping, and Li Daobi, Duke of Boling County, are here."

"Li Zhe, the king of Jinan County (Li An, the king of Xiping County, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, Li Daoxing, the king of Guangning County, Li Daoli, the king of Gaoping, and Li Daobi, the prince of Boling County) See Your Majesty!"

"Ahh Several royal brothers and nephews were exempted. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhe, the king of Jinan County, and Li An, the king of Xiping County, got up with difficulty with the support of several nephews. Li Yuan felt strange:

"The two royal brothers have been in poor health and never go out, why are you here today!"

"The minister and the philosopher brother are here today to thank the emperor! I think that my indisputable son has made such a great contribution to the Holy Wisdom by the Holy Eye, so he and the Philosopher Brother specially thank the Holy God today! Listening to Li An's words, Li Yuan's old face turned red, looking at the thin bodies of these two people, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of several past events more than forty years ago. At that time, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Yuan's father Li Bing had just died, Li Yuan was still young, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong out of political considerations, wanted to let Li Yuan make great contributions in the border pass of the seventh uncle Li Wei inherited the title of Duke of Tang, Li Wei listened, in the name of not wanting to bully orphans and widows, resigned from his official position, and lived in seclusion, later, Li Yuan's fourth uncle Li Zhang peeped at the title of Duke of Tang Guo and wanted to assassinate Li Yuan, Li Yuan was protected by his uncle Yang Jian, and survived, after Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian ascended the throne on behalf of Zhou, Li Zhang was afraid of the disaster of destroying the door, and committed suicide by poisoning, Li Wei took Li Zhang's two sons Li Shao and Li Xiaoji to his side and took care of them, and knelt in front of Li Yuan to intercede for them, because of this incident, Li Wei became the patriarch of the Li family when he was alive, and he was very prestigious in the Li family, and later Yang Guang was jealous of Li Yuan, Li Zhe and Li An immediately resigned from their official positions, especially Li An, in order to save his life, he wandered all day long in the flower street and willow lane, and had no children in his life, and Li Zhe spent all day in terror, only Li Ying had such a son, And Li Xiaoji fought against Wei Chi Gong when Song Jingang attacked Taiyuan, and finally died in battle, and even the corpse was not found, which made Li Yuan very sorry. Thinking of this, Li Yuan hurriedly said:

"Where are the two imperial brothers, Li Ying is a rare talent in my dynasty, I not only want to use it, but also reuse it, come here! Spread my will: Feng Lujiang King Li Ying is the head of Jingzhou Xingtai, Qin this! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen!"
