Chapter 7: Wooing the Two Sides (Part II)
Li Junxian was about the arrival of Wei Zheng, and he didn't say a word about taking refuge in Li Jiancheng. Now Li Junxian has the capital to be sold at a price, and it depends on who gives the good price. In Li Junxian's eyes, Li Jiancheng is completely unable to succeed, and Li Junxian will not choose him. History has proven that Li Shimin is the master, so Li Junxian will not take refuge in Li Jiancheng. However, although he was already biased towards Li Shimin in his heart, he couldn't show it.
Li Junxian wants to make a gesture of waiting for the price to sell, so that Li Shimin can rush to the crisis, so that Li Shimin will spend a greater price to win himself over. When the time comes, their own interests will be greater. Now Li Junxian is estimating what benefits he can get from Li Shimin.
And when Li Junxian had just asked Wan'er to remove the things that had been entertained for Wei Zheng, another person came. This man also looks to be in his forties, almost half a hundred. This man looks like a bookish man, and at first glance he is a resourceful guy. Li Junxian is secretly careful, you can't take this kind of person lightly!
"Who is the gentleman?" Li Junxian asked.
"General Li, in Xia Fang Qiao, the word Xuan Ling, in Xia is just the record room of the Qin Palace, and he can't afford to be called Mr. Li in the lower room!"
Li Junxian was so excited in his heart that Li Shimin actually sent Fang Xuanling in order to win him over. What kind of person is Fang Xuanling, but he is a famous minister and prime minister in the Zhenguan period of later generations. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are known as Fang Mou Du Duan, and they are both important assistants of Li Shimin during the Zhenguan period. And now, Fang Xuanling is just a secretary of Li Shimin, in the words of later generations, he is also a secretary, a knife and pen officer. Now Fang Xuanling's grade is not as high as Li Junxian.
However, Li Junxian, as a traverser, certainly won't underestimate Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling's achievements in the future are not ordinary, and they are not even comparable to himself as a general. In the next twenty years, Fang Xuanling can be said to be the pinnacle of the people, and the countless founding generals are not as powerful as him. And Fang Xuanling's title is the Duke of the Kingdom, and Li Junxian is just a county Duke in the end, and the difference in status is beaten. If it weren't for Fang Xuanling's indisputable son Fang Yiai, I'm afraid he would still be able to be rich for several generations!
"My status is really not ordinary, and the people who came to woo me are all famous prime ministers in history!" Li Junxian couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart.
Fang Xuanling did not mention Wei Zheng who had just left, although they must have seen each other, but Fang Xuanling also understood the truth that was rare and confused. There are also many neutral factions in the current imperial court. For example, the later famous marshal Li Jing and Li Ji are all people from neutral factions. If you remain neutral in the battle of princes at this time, it is also a safe way.
"General Li, I really miss the general's son by King Qin's side now! General Li and General Chang He were by the side of King Qin, charging into battle with King Qin, and the pride of the battlefield was really incomparable. Later, General Li and General Chang He were transferred by His Majesty to be the guards of Xuanwu Gate, but King Qin missed it at night, and missed the two generals by his side. The King of Qin often said around us that the two generals were his right-hand men, but it was a pity that ...... Ay! ”
Li Junxian understood very well in his heart, this Li Shimin said that he didn't say such things. Relying on himself and Chang He, it is not enough to make Li Shimin think about it at night. Li Junxian and Chang He's contributions were not great, and their status in Li Shimin's shogunate was not high at that time. It was precisely because of this that Li Yuan would mobilize them to the Xuanwu Gate. As a guard of the palace, the important thing is not the martial arts, but the loyalty and the absence of complicated relationships.
If Li Junxian was Li Shimin's absolute confidant, Li Yuan would not have given his life to them. Even if Li Shimin is his own son, Li Yuan will not let his son's cronies protect him, otherwise this is an opportunity for his son to do something. is also because of this, although Li Junxian and Chang He used to be Li Shimin's old subordinates, and Li Jiancheng will also want to win them over. Li Junxian and Chang He have a close relationship with Li Shimin, they are just ordinary old subordinates.
However, if Li Shimin did not use the relationship of this old subordinate to win over Li Junxian, then Li Shimin would not be worthy of being a famous emperor in history. What Li Shimin wanted was to use the relationship of this old subordinate to pull Chang He and Li Junxian over. In the original history, Li Shimin successfully pulled Chang He over, but Li Junxian remained neutral, and neither side helped.
But now, Li Junxian already plans to help Li Shimin seize the throne, so that he can get the maximum benefit. Li Junxian also has self-confidence, confident that he will not be killed by Li Shimin like the original Li Junxian.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's kindness to the lower is always in mind. His Royal Highness King Qin is a model of a generation of benevolent monarchs, if His Royal Highness King Qin can have a day in charge of the destiny of the world, then the people of the world will be blessed! Li Junxian said this vaguely.
Fang Xuanling heard Li Junxian say this, and he was overjoyed! Originally, Fang Xuanling also wanted to let Li Junxian take refuge through water grinding, and even prepared Li Junxian to be neutral. Fang Xuanling has already made a condition in his heart, that is, after Li Shimin ascends the throne in the future, he can crown Li Junxian as the county prince. But now that he has not made a condition, Li Junxian expressed his good impression of Li Shimin, and even said what he hoped that Li Shimin would one day be able to take charge of the destiny of the world, which is a naked expression of loyalty!
In ancient times, only the emperor could say anything about the fate of the world, not even the crown prince. But Li Junxian now said that he hopes that Li Shimin can do this, which is a bit excessive. But who is Li Shimin now, and Li Shimin's current battle has actually fallen into disadvantage. Li Shimin was actually forced to be anxious in his heart and was ready to mutiny. If it weren't for the mutiny, Li Shimin would not have been in such a hurry to win over the guards and generals of the palace.
Now Li Shimin has already planned a plan for a mutiny, and he is almost thinking about when he will mutiny. They are already prepared, as long as they win over Chang He and Li Junxian, then they can start a mutiny at any time. Without these two men, the mutiny would not have been successful. Now that Li Junxian is so nakedly loyal, then the next work will be much smoother. As for the other Chang He, even if he did not take refuge, remaining neutral would be enough to make the mutiny go smoothly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that if he can rule the world, he will definitely pay tribute to General Li with the courtesy of a minister!" Fang Xuanling added.
