Li Yuan issued an order the next day, ordering Li Shimin to be the commander of Xiao Liang, Li Shimin recommended Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and Li Jing as deputy marshals.

"Father, the son has something to do!"

"The prince has something to say!"

"Father, Emperor Qi, now that my Datang is expanding its territory and officially employing people, the children of all clans are also eager to 'want' to try, and they want to do something for my Datang. The sons asked their father to give them some opportunities so that they could also experience more! When Li Jiancheng said this, everyone thought that Li Jiancheng was going to recommend Li Yuanji, who knew that Li Jiancheng gave them a big surprise:

"Erchen recommended Erchen's cousin, Li Ming, King of Lujiang." As soon as they heard Li Jin's name, all the ministers present secretly discussed.

"The prince is really kind-hearted! did not recommend the king of Qi, but recommended the king of Lujiang. ”

"Humph! That Li Ying is a gentleman, can he lead the troops to fight? I think it's also a King of Qi who can't be helped! ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, King Qi is the prince after all. It's not nice to say. Li Jiancheng didn't care about the words of the many officials present, he only had the scene of him and Xu Jingzong discussing with the secret envoy.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, although you are now the crown prince, you still have a big disadvantage compared to the King of Qin."

"Sir, please!"

"Since the prince was established as the prince, to the time when he was officially established as the prince, he has never been involved in the military power, and His Royal Highness's brothers, especially the King of Qin, have been commanding the army, which is 。。。。。。 with Yang Guang back then." Xu Jingzong paused deliberately, and Li Jiancheng understood what Xu Jingzong meant.

"Sir, I understand what you mean, but sir, you also know that since ancient times, the prince is also known as the vice-monarch, once the power is too great, I am afraid that I will be uneasy, the father and the emperor copy the second brother is to contain me, I can't guess King Zhao's thoughts, originally I also wanted to support the King of Qi to compete with the King of Qin, who knew that Yuan Ji was so uncompetitive, Xiuning was a little towards me in her heart, but first, she was always a 'girl' child, and secondly, Shimin was her second brother after all, so he was too cruel between the two of us." In front of his courtiers, Li Jiancheng generally likes to say what they can't say, which also invisibly shortens the distance between him and his courtiers. Xu Jingzong's face 'revealed' a look of approval.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is just one candidate who can let us reach out to the army without arousing the suspicion of the saints. And you can also get some connections for Your Highness! ”

"Who?"

"Didn't His Highness tell Weichen last time that His Royal Highness Li Jin, King of Lujiang, has already moved closer to you?"

"No! He is a well-known gentleman, and his ability in the clan is considered mediocre, if he is allowed to participate in the government and do some idle duties, he may be able to do it, then the military affairs are not trivial, the art of war is cloudy, one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Cannot! Xu Jingzong smiled:

"Your Highness only knows one, but I don't know that there are two or three! Now that Li Ying has 'revealed' his heart, the prince should be more fulfilled, secondly, his person is mediocre, clumsy in 'getting' power, can let the prince remote control, as long as the exercise is appropriate, the power in his hands is in the hands of His Royal Highness, and he can only enjoy wealth, third, as long as it is a person, there will be a competitive heart 'desire', if His Royal Highness makes him satisfied, on the one hand, he will be more loyal to His Majesty, according to His Royal Highness said that day, the great Zongzheng Li Shentong, Hejian County King Li Xiaogong has moved closer to the King of Qin, They are all outstanding people in the Li clan, and His Royal Highness Li Jin's qualifications in the clan are mediocre, if other clansmen surnamed Li see that a mediocre person is so used by His Highness, it will play a role in buying bones, so that the other Li clan relatives will also be more inclined to His Highness. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng took a step forward and said even louder:

"Father, the son heard a sentence, called 'jade' is not a weapon, Li Jin's brother is just a lack of experience, not a useless person, and the son of the minister invited Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, to also be the deputy marshal of Liang." Under Li Jiancheng's sincere request, Li Yuan agreed to Li Jiancheng's request. That night, Li Ying prepared a generous gift and came to Li Jiancheng's East Palace:

"Hello Brother Wang!"

"Hello two royal sisters-in-law! These are gifts from me to my two little nephews, and I ask them to accept them. Zheng Wanzhen and Yang 'Yan' thanked Li Ying and returned to the inner room with their son in their arms. Li Jiancheng led Li Ying like his own study.

"Brother Wang, you will go on the expedition in two days, it just so happens that I have an infantry book to give you, you must use it." As he spoke, he picked up a book from the desk and gave it to Li Jin. Li Ying opened the book, and when he saw the contents inside, his face immediately 'revealed' with surprise:

"Brother Wang, what's going on?"

"Brother Wang, according to the plan of the Ministry of War, you attacked Jingzhou by water through Huangzhou this time, and Zhou Faming, the defender of Huangzhou, happened to be panicked all day because Xiao Mo was suspicious of the generals, so he had already secretly contacted me, and I will give you this great achievement." Li Ying knelt down to Li Jiancheng:

"Brother Huang, the younger brother must live up to the high expectations of the royal brother, this expedition to Liang will definitely be successful, if it is not successful, it will become benevolent!" Li Jiancheng helped Li Ying up:

"Brother Wang, that Zhou Faming was a veteran of the water master, and there are many water networks in the south of the Yangtze River, you have to treat him well, and tell him to lead the water master well, and the palace will reuse him in the future." Li Jin wondered in his heart, he didn't know why Li Jiancheng attached so much importance to a naval general, only Li Jiancheng knew in his heart that there was an emperor in later generations who once said - if there is a monarch in the world, he only has one hand, and if he adds the navy, he is full of arms. Li Jiancheng clapped his hands again, and before that, a young man came to them:

"The humble minister Song Lingwen see His Royal Highness the Prince, see the prince." Li Jiancheng nodded, which was regarded as a return gift, and said to Li Jin:

"Brother Wang, this person is a confidant of the palace, and he has a lot of strategy in his 'chest', how about making a military clerical by your side and helping you deal with military affairs?" Li Ying stared at Song Lingwen for a moment, and felt that although Song Lingwen was dressed as a scribe, there was a vague murderous aura. Hesitated for a moment:

"Brother Wang thanked him for his grace!"
