Chapter 59: Du Fu's Visit
"Father's intentions are good!" Li Heng reacted and had to admire Li Longji's meticulous thinking.
Li Changguo is only 23 years old at the moment, and he still has a bright future, and even if Li Changguo lives to be 60 years old, he still has a long way to go. In more than 30 years, did Li Changguo not have the opportunity to establish a state for the Tang Dynasty?
You don't have to think about it to know that there will definitely be one, and it is a great opportunity. People like Li Changguo have a lot of opportunities to make contributions to the country, and they don't have to worry about not having opportunities.
However, here's the problem. If he makes another great achievement, how can he be rewarded? If Li Longji does not suppress Li Changguo's title this time, but rewards the second-grade high-ranking lord, Li Changguo will make new contributions and will soon be promoted to the first-rank high-ranking lord.
Yipin Gao Jue is a high knight of the Tang Dynasty, and when he arrives here, it means that there is no room for reward, and no matter how great Li Changguo's merits are, he can no longer be awarded. Because if you seal it again, you will be the emperor, which is impossible.
If there is no seal, and there is no reward, you can only kill it.
"Once a person reaches a high position, there will naturally be people to attach to, even if Li Changguo has no intention of doing evil, and there are many people who are attached, there will naturally be people who do evil. Once someone does evil, Li Changguo's crime will also be there. At that time, even if His Majesty does not want to kill, he will not be able to get it. Li Mi sighed with emotion and said, "Isn't this the case of the Yang family?" β
Yang is very evil and has done a lot of bad things. However, the Yang clan alone can't do so many evil things. The reason why the Yang family's disaster is so fierce is that there are many minions who cling to the Yang family and act for the tiger.
If Li Changguo gets a high position, even if he doesn't want to, there will inevitably be people who will cling to him and take refuge in him. Over time, something evil will inevitably happen, and this will become Li Changguo's crime.
Even if Li Changguo is strictly controlled, it is indispensable for his protΓ©gΓ©s to be all over the world. With so many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven, and there will always be people who do bad things.
That's why the tree is so popular. At that time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not want to kill Li Changguo, but also killed.
Li Longji was shrewd, and when he saw this kind of harm, he came to reward him with a miraculous achievement, pressing Li Changguo's title, so that he could not be promoted in a short period of time, so that this harm could be avoided.
"Yes. His Majesty's imperial skills are perfect, rare in ancient and modern times. Li Mi sighed with emotion.
"I see. My father used this to tell me that the virtuous ministers and good ministers should be protected. Li Heng is also a shrewd person, and finally understands why Li Longji asked him to think about it.
"Your Highness is wise!" Li Mi bowed slightly, greatly appreciative. Li Longji asked Li Heng to think about it, which was really his intention.
Virtuous ministers and good generals should not only use them well, but also protect them, which is a compulsory course for the emperor.
"Your Highness, do you know why Your Majesty wants to protect Li Changguo?" Li Mi changed his words and asked again.
"Li Changguo is good at strategy, can fight well, and is a rare good general, such a good general, naturally he must protect it." Li Heng replied with a deep groan.
"It's not like that." Li Yu shook his head and said, "Your Highness only knows one thing, but not the other. His Majesty's protection of Lee Chang Kook is because of the second issue. β
"Who is suitable to lead the army to defeat the Great Food?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows and groaned.
"That's right." Li Mi nodded heavily and said, "The reason for protecting Li Changguo is to reuse Li Changguo." If it is not reused, His Majesty will not protect Li Changguo at all, but only need to make him a high lord and leave Li Changguo idle. β
There are many ways to deal with Li Changguo, and it is also a kind of protection to give Li Changguo a high lord, idle him, and prevent him from making meritorious contributions. Since then, Li Changguo can completely live a life of fine clothes and food, and he doesn't have to lick blood with a knife, which is also worthy of Li Changguo.
Li Longji did not do this, but pressed Li Changguo's title, and protecting Li Changguo in this way was to reuse him.
"According to what you mean, Li Changguo is the most suitable person to lead the army to defeat the Great Eclipse?" Li Heng asked with a deep groan.
"Not bad." Li Mi nodded again.
"According to me, Wang Zhonghei is also quite suitable." Li Heng frowned and said: "Li Changguo is good at strategy, can fight well, is a rare good general, I admire him very much." However, when it comes to fighting, Wang Zhonghei is no worse than him. β
Wang Zhonghei is known as the first general of the Li Longji Dynasty, and his military talent is beyond doubt, he has fought a lifetime of battles, dozens of battles large and small, and has not lost a single battle. Let him lead the army, and no one will doubt it.
"What's more, Wang Zhonghei is close to His Royal Highness, you grew up together, and there is little friendship. Wang Zhonghei kept saying that he wanted to escort His Royal Highness. If the Great Food is broken again, Wang Zhonghe's merit will be even greater, and it will be more conducive to doing things for His Royal Highness. Li Yu's eyes were full of light, and he stared at Li Heng and asked, "Am I right?" β
"That's right. As soon as Wang Zhongsi and I grew up, the two of us played together, slept together, ate together, and drank together, not brothers, but better than brothers. If he is allowed to lead the army, his military achievements will be greater, and he will be able to do things for me better. "Li Heng's friendship with Wang Zhongsi is not trivial, who told them that the two of them knew each other from wearing open crotch pants?
"Yes, His Highness is inclined to Wang Zhonghei, right?" Li Mi asked again.
"Li Changguo is good at using soldiers, and I appreciate it. If I become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I won't lose him. However, I have been friends with Wang Zhongsi for decades, and I still think that it is better for Wang Zhongsi to command the army. "Li Heng has nothing to hide in front of Li Yu.
"Wang Zhonghei is lucky, he can get such affection from His Royal Highness." Li Mi's eyes were a little hot, but he changed his words and said: "However, if His Royal Highness wants to do this, although it is full of friendship, it is a mistake for Datang. β
"Mistaken Datang?" Li Heng's face changed color, staring at Li Mi, and said with some displeasure: "Li Mi, how can you say this?" This prince is really for the Tang Dynasty, how can he say that he is misleading the country? β
No longer called "I", but called "Prince Ben", Li Heng was a little annoyed in his heart.
"Prince, Li Mi has a question." Li Mi smiled slightly and said, "Does the prince know the difference between the umbrella and the palace?" β
"What's so hard about that? The umbrella is used to shelter from the sun and rain, and the temple is used to live. Li Heng was confused by Li Mi and looked at Li Mi in confusion.
"What the prince said is not true." Li Mi, Li Heng, relieved his doubts and said: "The difference between the umbrella and the hall is that the umbrella has only one column, while the hall has many columns. Therefore, the umbrella post is broken, and the umbrella is useless. And the pillars of the temple will not collapse if they are broken one or two, because the temple has many pillars, and there are problems with one or two, and there are other pillars to support it. β
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "To be an emperor is to build a hall that will never overturn, not an umbrella. Although Wang Zhonghei has achieved great achievements, Li Changguo has made great contributions to pacifying Tibet, but there is still a gap between him and him. If Wang Zhonghei commanded the army in the battle of breaking the Great Eclipse, all the credit would be obtained by Wang Zhonghe. Then, Datang will not be a stable hall, but just an umbrella. β
Li Heng's eyes were full of light, and he seemed to have an understanding.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, blessings and misfortunes, life is constant. Once Wang Zhongsi had an accident, wouldn't Datang lose an Optimus Pillar? And the prince just made Datang into an umbrella, not a hall, and Wang Zhonghei's umbrella pillar was broken, the whole umbrella was useless, and Datang was in danger. "Li Mi's voice turned high, which had the effect of resonating and deafening.
A cold sweat broke out on Li Heng's forehead.
"The reason why the Tang Dynasty is prosperous is that there are many talents in the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Taizong was in power, there were twenty-four meritorious heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, and there were many virtuous ministers and good generals at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, which is the root of the Tang Dynasty's strength, and please keep in mind the prince." Li Mi's tone was a little sharp.
"Mr. Xie taught me!" Li Heng clenched his fists with both hands and slammed at Li Mi.
According to Li Heng's idea, he wanted to be fully friendly and let Wang Zhongsi lead the army, in that case, it would be a good thing for Wang Zhongsi personally, but it would not be beneficial to the entire Tang Dynasty. Once Wang Zhonghei had an accident, the entire Tang Dynasty would be shaken. Who can guarantee that you will not get sick and die young?
No one dared to say that.
If Li Changguo commands the troops in the first battle of the Great Eclipse, he will create another Optimus Prime in addition to Wang Zhonghe. Then, there will be two Optimus Prime in the Tang Dynasty, even if one goes wrong, isn't there another one?
That's the best way to deal with it.
"My father is telling me to get closer to Li Changguo, establish friendship, and get closer to each other." Li Heng is a person who understands, and he quickly understood Li Longji's intentions.
"That's right, that's what Your Majesty meant." Li Mi nodded heavily, and said with great relief: "It is precisely because of this that His Royal Highness asked to see His Majesty for the matter of Li Changguo, which made His Majesty extremely pleased, so he said so many words to His Majesty. At the same time, His Majesty is also taking this opportunity to teach the way of the crown prince and emperor. β
Li Longji's imperial way is convincing, Li Hengda is impressed, and said: "I must learn more, and I will not disappoint my father." Let's go, let's go see Li Changguo. β
"This Li Changguo is famous, and I want to visit it too. Okay, just one. Li Mi is a cheerful person and happily agreed.
Li Heng gave an order, prepared a generous gift, and left the prince's mansion with Li Mi, and went straight to Li Changguo's mansion.

Outside Li Changguo's mansion, there was a sea of people, and many ministers crowded together, asking to see Li Changguo.
Kant stopped at the door with his guards, and the group was not allowed to enter.
"I have asked to see General Lee, please pass through. Please laugh at this little meaning. β
"I asked to see General Li three times, and I really want to make friends with General Li, so you can give me a good message, okay?"
The ministers surrounded Tang De and them, and some said good things, some gave gifts, and some threatened. However, no matter what they say, Kant they just weren't allowed to enter.
There is no way, since Li Changguo returned to the mansion, it has been a city, and there are countless ministers who have come to make friends. Walk one to a pair, walk two to two pairs, so Li Changguo has no choice but to order the guests to be thanked and not let them in.
However, the ministers all saw that Li Longji's appreciation of Li Changguo was increasing unabated, and it was only a matter of time before Li Changguo was promoted, and no one wanted to leave, so he had to see Li Changguo.
In this way, Li Changguo's door is so lively, even more lively than the vegetable market.
Three scholars squeezed in, led by one in his thirties, with a clear appearance, giving people a sense of freshness, and said to Kant: "Please pass General Li, Du Fu asks to see." β
