Chapter 58 Li Heng, the crown prince of Li Yu, surrounded by his personal guards, walked towards the prince's mansion. Along the way, he frowned and muttered.

Li Longji gave him two exam questions, but he didn't understand any of them. Li Changguo's reward for his miraculous achievements really confused him. If you want to say that Li Longji is confused, he is more sober than anyone else, and he admits that he can't be rewarded, but as for the reason, he doesn't say a word, and he wants Li Heng to think about it.

Li Heng is a shrewd person, but he can't understand the truth.

Don't say that Li Heng can't figure it out, it's the entire group of ministers, how many can figure it out?

The second question is who to send to lead the troops to fight the Great Eclipse, Li Heng still can't make up his mind. There are two suitable candidates, one is Li Changguo and the other is Wang Zhongsi. Wang Zhonghei became famous at a young age, and at the age of eighteen, he led 300 warriors to kill and defeat De Zuzan, and almost captured Ji De Zuzan alive. Since then, Wang Zhonghe's fame has grown, and he has made more and more military exploits, and finally became a commander of Megatron. If you send him to fight, I feel very relieved.

Another suitable candidate is Lee Chang-guk. Although Li Changguo did not read the ability to command the army, his military talent has been verified. How difficult it was to pacify Tubo, stumped the Three Kings and Five Emperors, Qin Emperor Han Wu, but did not stump Li Changguo, and the successful pacification was Tubo, and his intelligence did not need to be doubted. If you send him to command the army, there will be no problem.

Li Changguo and Wang Zhongsi are both very suitable candidates, and it is really difficult for Li Heng to choose a suitable person among the two. I thought about it all the way, but it didn't work.

Before I knew it, I returned to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he greeted the joyful housekeeper.

"I've seen the prince. Prince, you're back. Hee-hee. The butler smiled as if he had been smeared with honey, and his face was full of joy.

"You're marrying a daughter-in-law again, so happy?" Li Heng was very surprised, looked at the housekeeper and asked.

"Prince, don't make fun of me. When a distinguished guest arrived, the prince must have been happy to see it. The butler smiled even more happily, and the smile on his face was stacked on top of each other.

"Who?" Li Heng asked.

Looking at the housekeeper's happy face, the person who came must be extraordinary, but he couldn't figure out who it would be.

"Your Highness, guess what." The housekeeper did not answer, but sold the guanzi.

Say. Don't say I'm abolishing you. Li Heng didn't want to guess, his face was solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Who else can there be, of course, the noble person His Highness is looking forward to the night." The housekeeper reminded me.

"Li Mi! Is Li Mi back? Li Heng's eyes were unusually bright, like a fierce voice above the nine heavens, and he grabbed the butler's shirt and shouted loudly.

"Your Highness, let it go. It was Mr. Lee who came back. The butler nodded heavily.

"Haha. Li Mi! Li Hengyi was overjoyed, even more joyful than a big victory, threw the housekeeper like garbage, spread his legs, and rushed towards the prince's mansion as if flying. Look at his appearance, like a swirling ball, he doesn't care about the prince's etiquette at all.

Li Heng rushed into the living room and saw a young man in his twenties, drinking tea. This young man is tall, very handsome, and has a fairy wind and bones, and has a dusty atmosphere, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Li Mi, don't tell me when you come back, okay, I'm going to punish you well." Li Heng shouted from afar, not calling himself the prince, which shows that he values Li Yu.

This young man is Li Mi, stood up, straightened his clothes, and saluted Li Heng: "Li Mi, the people of the grassland, have seen the prince." ”

"You Li Yu, how polite are you? I told you a long time ago that you don't have to salute when you see me, you are always so restrained. Li Heng was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, the ceremony must not be abolished." Li Yu insisted.

"I can't help it. Oh, in the world, who can take you with a way? Li Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Even if it is my father, I can't do anything about you." ”

Li Mi, a famous figure in Chinese history, is a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, four generations, an official to the prime minister, and was named the Marquis of Ye County, known as the Marquis of Li Ye.

His greatest achievement was to be able to pacify the Anshi Rebellion and continue the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty did not perish after the Anshi Rebellion, but continued to rule.

The pacification of the Anshi Rebellion mainly relied on Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, two generals, but the political planning and reconstruction after the chaos were mostly from the hands of Li Mi, and the great credit can be imagined.

Li Mi is an all-rounder, both civil and military, and he once planned a strange plan for Suzong Li Heng, which can quickly quell the Anshi Rebellion. He proposed that instead of recovering the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang for the time being, he would send troops to raid An Lushan's lair and take Fanyang, so that An Lushan would lose his way to retreat, so that he could quickly pacify the Anshi Rebellion. According to his calculations, the entire Anshi Rebellion will not be pacified for more than three years.

However, Su Zong was too eager to succeed and did not take Li Mi's suggestion, but first took back Chang'an and Luoyang. An Lushan's army retreated towards Fanyang's nest, and the Tang Dynasty could not annihilate An Lushan's army in one fell swoop, so that the Anshi Rebellion finally lasted for eight years.

If Li Mi's plan was implemented, the Anshi Rebellion would not have lasted for eight years, but would have ended in three or two years, the power of the Tang Dynasty would not have been consumed so much, and the Tang Dynasty would not have declined so quickly, and perhaps it would have recovered soon.

Some descendants compared Li Mi's plan with Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", which shows how amazing this plan is.

Li Mi is a young genius, and he is very appreciated by Li Heng, and Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong also appreciates him very much. In the early years of Tianbao, Li Mi wrote a book on politics, which was deeply appreciated by Li Longji, and he was awarded the edict of Hanlin. Yang Guo was loyal to his talent, and targeted him everywhere, Li Mi's surname was indifferent, good Taoism, and took the opportunity to leave Chang'an and go to Songshan to live in seclusion and seek Taoism.

During his time in Chang'an, Li Mi was a subordinate of the East Palace, a subordinate of Li Heng, who had many tricks and was deeply appreciated by the crown prince Li Heng and was regarded as his left arm and right arm. After Li Mi went into seclusion, Li Hengru lost his left and right hands and didn't know what to do.

Today, when he learned that Li Yu was back, Li Heng's joy was not trivial, and he was even happier than a beggar being hit by a pie.

"Sit, sit, sit, please!" Li Heng grabbed Li Mi's hand tightly and helped Li Mi sit down.

Li Heng looked at Li Mi and said with a smile: "Li Mi, you are finally back, I am looking forward to it." He was overjoyed.

"How have you been doing in the past few years?" Li Heng asked with concern.

"Thanks to the prince's blessing, it's not bad. There is food and drink, and you can also seek immortals and seek the way, and the joy of life is nothing more than this. "Li Mi is good at Taoism, has a normal heart, and doesn't like to fight with others.

It is precisely because of his surname that in his career, he had many opportunities to kill political enemies, but he did not fight and gave up directly. Until his later years, he couldn't shirk it, so he had to be the prime minister.

"Your Highness, why are you anxious?" Li Mi changed his words, looked at Li Heng and asked.

"What's the matter? I'm so happy, how can I be anxious. Li Heng hurriedly denied it.

"Your Highness's face is full of melancholy, and his brows are slightly twisted, how can he be fine?" Li Mi pointed out with a smile.

"High! It's really high! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're getting better at it! Li Heng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to test you, but it was too much." Li Mi, I have two difficult things to decide, and I ask you to give me a plan. ”

"If the prince has something to say, I must know everything, and I will say everything." Li Mi bowed slightly.

"Here's the thing......" Li Heng said the process of meeting Li Longji. He trusted Li Mi extremely much and did not hide it at all.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" Li Mi stood up and saluted Li Heng.

Li Heng frowned, a little puzzled, and said, "Li Yu, where does this joy come from?" ”

"Your Highness, do you know why His Majesty is talking to you like this?" Li Mi asked himself and answered, "That's because Your Majesty officially confirmed you as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor." As long as Your Highness abides by the way of the ministers and fulfills filial piety, there will be no more variables, and no one will want to deal with you again. Since then, His Highness has soared into the sky. ”

If you become a prince, you may not be able to become an emperor, because there are too many variables. Since ancient times, there have been endless incidents of abolishing the prince and killing the prince, which is what Li Heng is most worried about.

"Huh!" Li Heng faintly guessed Li Longji's intentions, and then confirmed by Li Yu, he was very relieved, let out a burst of comfortable laughter, and asked: "Li Changguo's reward, I still don't understand, why did my father reward him for his great achievements?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Mi clasped his hands into fists, bowed in the direction of the palace, and said, "Your Majesty's way of the emperor is perfect. Your Majesty is protecting Li Changguo. ”

"Protect Lee Chang Kook?" Li Heng didn't know why, his brows tightened.

"That's right, Your Majesty has good intentions and is protecting Li Changguo." Li Mi nodded heavily, his eyes were scorching, and said: "If Your Majesty rewards Yu Gong and rewards Li Changguo with the title of second grade, then Li Changguo will definitely not live to be thirty years old." ”

What do you mean by that? How can a reward be harmful? Li Yu's words were so shocking that Li Heng was a little incredulous, and stood up suddenly, looking surprised.

"If it were someone else, it would naturally not harm him, but Li Changguo would be a different matter, it would definitely harm him." Li Mi wrenched his fingers and counted them carefully: "Because Li Changguo is too young, he is only twenty-three years old this year. The twenty-three-year-old second-grade Gaojue, not to mention that in the Tang Dynasty, even in the history of China, he has never heard of it. ”

"In a long life, even if Li Changguo lives to be 60 years old, he still has 37 years to go. In the past 37 years, Li Changguo has still had many opportunities to make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty. With his talent, what is the difficulty for him to make meritorious contributions? Not to mention anything else, it is the upcoming battle to break the Great Eclipse, if Li Changguo commands the army, what is the merit of Li Changguo's efforts to destroy the Great Eclipse? If His Majesty makes him a second-grade high-ranking lord now, he can only be promoted to a first-rank high-ranking lord. As soon as he arrives at the first grade, there is no room for promotion to the rank of knight, and Li Changguo is still young, less than thirty years old. Your Highness, you say, should Li Changguo be killed? ”

"This ......" Li Heng looked shocked, he really didn't expect this.

Li Mi is right, if Li Changguo obtained the first-grade high lord before the age of thirty, then the probability of Li Changguo being killed is very high. Because there is no reward and there is no seal, in such a situation, killing Li Changguo is the best way to solve the problem.

Since ancient times, the birds have been hiding their bows, and the cunning rabbits have been cooked by dead lackeys, mostly because they can't be rewarded, so they have to be killed. Qin killed Shang Ying, Liu Bang killed Han Xin, all the same.
