Chapter 6: The Wooing of the Two Parties (Part I)
Li Junxian slept peacefully under Wan'er's careful service. If Li Junxian was willing, he could actually ask for Wan'er at any time, but Li Junxian didn't do it. Now Wan'er is just a fourteen-year-old little Lori, if she wants such a small Lori in the next life, it is a crime. Li Junxian is a later generation, and he agrees very much with eugenics, and he will not do that kind of thing when a woman is still young. Although I don't know why the original Li Junxian didn't ask for Wan'er, but now everything he has belongs to the current Li Junxian.
When he got up the next day, Li Junxian was about to put on his armor and go to work in Xuanwumen, but Wan'er stopped him.
"General Li, today is the time for you to take turns to rest, you don't have to go!" Wan'er said.
Only then did Li Junxian realize that today was his own turn to rest. But now Li Junxian doesn't know how these palace guards are on duty, since Wan'er reminded him, he doesn't have to go. Li Junxian is now calculating, if nothing happens, he should be able to rest on the day of the Xuanwumen Change. At that time, Li Junxian did not get any merit from the dragon, and was also killed by Li Shimin more than 20 years later.
Li Junxian is now hesitating, whether he is on Li Jiancheng's side or Li Shimin's side. This is a royal seizure, not a playhouse, and if you stand on the wrong team, you will lose your head. Now Li Junxian doesn't know if it will cause any butterfly effect because of his arrival. Now Li Junxian is thinking about whether he can get the most benefit from this matter.
Of course, it is not impossible for Li Junxian to be neutral, he is the guard of the palace, and he can be completely neutral. In this kind of princely seizure of the throne, the guards of the palace are often a link that can influence the political situation, so both sides are very important. In coups d'état since ancient times, the attitude of the head of the palace guard often determines the outcome of the victory.
Li Junxian is resting at home today, but some people don't want Li Junxian to rest at ease, so they have to come over to disturb him.
"Knock knock!" Li Junxian's door rang.
"Who?" Li Junxian shouted.
"There is a visitor, please General Li open the door!" Said the guest at the door.
Li Junxian couldn't, so he had to open the door. Anyway, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, and no one dares to disadvantage themselves. What's more, his martial arts are also good, and ordinary people are not opponents. In this Chang'an, as long as you don't meet a ruthless person like Cheng Biting Jin Wei Chi Gong, you will generally be fine. Moreover, Li Junxian heard that the voice outside the door was not malicious, so he was very relieved.
Li Junxian went to open the door and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who came to Li Junxian's house with a prayer note in his hand. Li Junxian didn't know who he was, so he took the initiative to ask.
"What is the surname of the gentleman?"
"Oops, it seems that it should be true that General Li Junxian lost part of his memory, otherwise why don't you even know me? I am the washing horse of the prince of Jiancheng, my surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Zheng. ”
"What? Are you Wei Zheng? ”
Li Junxian didn't expect that the unattractive man in front of him was actually Wei Zheng. As long as anyone who has read the history of the Tang Dynasty should know the name Wei Zheng, he is a minister of Tang Taizong. Wei Zheng's greatest reputation in his life was obtained by advising Tang Taizong, and he was also known for his tough and firm surname throughout his life.
However, Li Junxian didn't expect that this Wei Zheng would actually come to visit him. Li Junxian is familiar with history and knows that the current Wei Zheng has not yet taken refuge in Li Shimin. The current Wei Zheng is still the prince Li Jiancheng's prince washing horses, and he is the prince's subordinate official. Since Wei Zheng is the person of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, what do you want to do when you come to visit him now?
"General Li, don't you want to invite guests in?" Wei Zheng said.
Li Junxian waved his hands and directly let Wei Zheng in. Li Junxian also guessed that this Wei Zheng was probably trying to win him over, because Li Junxian's position was too important.
"I really didn't expect that General Li would not only be able to bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield and bravely crown the three armies, but also have a deep study of poetry!" Wei Zheng first patted his ass and said.
"Poetry?" Li Junxian didn't understand what it meant.
Wei Zheng immediately said: "General Li was at the gate of Xuanwu Gate yesterday and read aloud: 'My husband only holds Wu Hook with one hand, and his righteousness is higher than that of a hundred feet above the building. Who has written history for 10,000 years, and wants to be a marquis 3,000 miles away. What a pride this is, even I, a civil official, cannot make such a good poem! General Li is really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he should be promoted and reused! ”
Li Junxian didn't expect that the poem he plagiarized from Li Hongzhang yesterday would be heard. However, Li Junxian quickly thought that Xuanwumen was a public occasion after all, and many people should hear it when he recited poetry on that occasion. This kind of thing just needs to be inquired about, and there will be nothing hidden. Since Wei Zheng wants to win himself over, he naturally needs to understand himself, and yesterday's poem is just a good opportunity to get closer to each other.
"General Li, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely virtuous, and has always been eager to seek talents, if General Li is willing to conspire with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not treat you badly in the future. As for what happened to King Qi yesterday, it was purely an accident. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely discipline King Qi well and let him restrain himself. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to General Li, as long as General Li is willing to serve, he will definitely lead the army alone in the future! Wei Zheng stated his conditions.
Li Jiancheng's condition was opened, that is, to take out the position of a general of Wei to tempt Li Junxian. A general of Wei can be said to be the pinnacle position among military attachés. According to the original Li Junxian, he did not get the position of a general of Wei until his death. The vast majority of Wei generals are made up of the founding heroes and those royal families.
However, Li Junxian, a person who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, knows that Li Jiancheng's condition is simply rubbish. Although there are sixteen guards in the center, these sixteen guards are all Zhichong Mansion that dominates the world respectively. The Tang Dynasty implemented a government military system, so there were not many standing armies. And these sixteen guards are actually not actually able to lead with actual troops, and they can only be said to be remote leaders. The honorary component of a great general of Wei is higher than the component of actual power, and his main duty is not to lead the troops. Only when the war starts, the emperor will temporarily transfer soldiers from the major Zhichong prefectures in the world, and then appoint generals in a unified manner, so that the procedure for sending troops is the procedure. Therefore, the real power of this general Wei is not as great as imagined. If Li Junxian, a later generation, took refuge in Li Jiancheng for this bit of empty power, it would be a fool.
