Chapter 117: Send Li You on the road
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Taizong Li Shimin feasted the ministers and the princes, not only rewarded the ministers, but also re-canonized the titles and fiefs of each prince, most of the princes' titles were the same as in the original history, such as Li Ke changed from the king of Shu to the king of Wu, Li Tai changed from the king of Yue to the king of Wei, Li Zhen changed from the king of Han to the original king, etc., but only the titles and fiefs of the two people have changed, these two people are the fifth Li You and Li Su Li Liulang.
According to the original history, Li You will change from the King of Yan to the King of Qi, and Li Su will change from the King of Liang to the King of Shu, but due to Li Su's change in history, Li You replaced Li Su as the new King of Shu, and Li Su, who had been set as the King of Han a few years ago, was suddenly changed to the King of Qi and the governor of Biden State. And unlike other princes who are just remote leaders, Li You and Li Yu will go to the fiefdom to take up their duties in the fiefdom this year when they send Li You on the road in Chapter 117.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted countless people to discuss, and Li You just gave up, not only did His Majesty Taizong not like it, but from hundreds of officials to the people, almost no one liked this prince, so for putting him in distant Shu, Chang'an applauded.
But Li Su is different, although people were also infamous before, but there is a way that the prodigal son does not change his money, Li Su's performance in the past year proves this truth, and now Li Su is not only deeply favored by His Majesty Taizong, but even people often compare him with Li Tai, the king of Wei, to discuss which of the two of them is the most popular prince of His Majesty.
As for the people, not to mention, not only is he a man of letters, but also good at making utensils, and the cement and charcoal industries that have been made out do not know how many people have fed, and with the last smoke incident, the matter of Li Su's mother's filial piety has also been spread by people with a heart, so now Li Su is simply a model of the prodigal son's return, which can be comparable to the Jin Dynasty's three evils.
But a prince who is so favored by His Majesty Taizong and loved by the people was unexpectedly sealed to Dengzhou? There are many people who don't even know where the personal state is, and only after others explained that they did Chapter 117 and send Li You on the road to make it clear that this state was actually newly established in the fourth year of Wude. And it was abolished in the early years of Zhenguan, this time because it was divided into Li Su, and Dengzhou was reset again, leading Penglai, Huangxian, Wendeng, and Muping 4 counties, and the governance was in Wendeng.
If it's just a new state, it doesn't matter, but Dengju has one of the most unfavorable situations, that is, it is across the sea from Goguryeo's Beisha City, and there is only a small Bohai Bay in the middle, who doesn't know now? The situation between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo was tense. Last year, His Majesty Taizong sent a lot of small troops into Goguryeo to harass them, and conflicts broke out on the border between the two countries, and a national war could break out at any time, and Dengju was so close to Goguryeo. It was extremely dangerous for Li Su to go there.
It is said that in the case of Dengzhou, no matter how unloved a prince is, he will definitely not be sealed there, after all, tiger poison does not eat children, and sending his son to a place that may become a battlefield at any time is definitely not something that a father can do, but the fact is that it is right in front of them, and this person is also one of the most favored sons of His Majesty Taizong, which makes people speculate about the hidden secrets.
Some people speculate that Li Su may be because of something. lost the favor of His Majesty Taizong, so he was sent to the ghost place in Dengzhou. Those who have this kind of speculation are gloating, such as those in the princelings and the Wei Wang party. Others speculated that Li Su might have been entrusted with some important task by His Majesty Taizong, after all, it was Li Su who proposed the three strategies for Pingliao against Goguryeo, so he was sent to Dengzhou, which was very close to Goguryeo. It is convenient to operate and command nearby. Of course, these people are all people who have a good relationship with Li Su, but when they went to Li Su's mansion to inquire, Li Su smiled at this question and did not answer, which seemed very mysterious.
And just before everyone could figure out what was going on. Suddenly, another explosive news came, Li You, the king of Shu, was ordered by His Majesty Taizong to leave Beijing before the thirteenth, and he was not even allowed to spend the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an. However, he was very generous to Li Su, not only told Li Su to go out of Beijing later, but also gave a lot of slaves and palace maids, and even the personal guards on Li Su's palace were replaced, all of which were replaced by Qianniuwei, who was responsible for guarding the palace, and his combat effectiveness increased several times compared with before.
As soon as these two news came out, they immediately shut up those who gloated, and like some others, they were speculating about what kind of heavy responsibility Li Su was carrying, and he wanted such a prince to go to Dengzhou for an adventure in person?
Unlike those people outside, since the last time he gave the world map to the emperor's father, and he put his plan together, Li Shimin was scared a lot, he felt shocked and happy, and even a little incredible, thinking that Li Su's idea was too bold, and even he, the emperor, had never dared to think about it like this, so he persuaded Li Su to think about it again.
It's just that Li Su's attitude is very resolute, saying that he has thought about this matter very clearly, and in the end, Li Shimin is also very pleased to have Li Su's son, and finally agrees to Li Su. And after Li Su achieved his goal, the whole person became relaxed, and this year was very happy.
Of course, Concubine Yang reprimanded Li Su a lot after knowing that he asked to go to Dengzhou, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and allowed his mother to beat and scold him with a smile, and Concubine Yang couldn't do anything about him, so he could only ask him to write at least two letters back every month.
After the New Year, he accompanied Xiao Wenxin back to the Song Guogong Mansion, and then drank a few times with Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye's group of fox friends and dog friends, and spent the rest of the time in the mansion with Xiao Wenxin. But Xiao Wenxin was unwilling to be separated from him, no matter how hard he was, he had to follow Li Su, Li Su had no choice but to agree to take her with him.
On the thirteenth day of January, the day after tomorrow will be on the Yuan Festival, outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City. On the road to Yizhou in Shuzhong, this road has now been built into a cement road, now it looks very wide and flat, under a dry willow tree next to the road, a team of nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses gathered together, is seeing off one of them, surrounded by guards.
"Fifth brother, please drink this cup to the fullest, I wish you a smooth journey!" The first person is long and jade, handsome, but with an arrogant atmosphere between his eyebrows and eyes, it is the crown prince Li Chengqian, and behind him, Li Ke, Li Tai, Li Su and other brothers are there.
Today is the day when Li You leaves Chang'an, although he is not treated well by everyone, but Li Chengqian, as the eldest brother and the crown prince, when the brother leaves Beijing, he has to send it off no matter what, so he will gather Li Ke, Li Su and other brothers to see Li You off together.
"Brother Xie!" Although Li You is arrogant, he can still be respectful to Li Chengqian, the prince, on the surface, and when he saw the other party raise his wine glass, he also raised his glass and said, but when he swept Li Yu, he snorted coldly.
Li Su smiled and didn't care, and drank the wine with everyone, and then Li Chengqian said: "Fifth brother, the road in Shuzhong is difficult, but thanks to the sixth brother to get cement to repair the road, presumably when you enter Chang'an again, the cement road from Shuzhong to Chang'an can be repaired, and it will definitely be faster." ”
Although Li Chengqian is praising Li Su, he obviously doesn't have any good intentions, everyone knows the grievances between Li You and Li Su, at this time, he praises his opponent in front of Li You, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
"Humph! Then I have to thank the sixth brother! Li You said in a weird manner, looking at Li Su's eyes were also full of provocation, it seemed that as long as Li Su dared to fight back, he would immediately dare to fight Li Su again.
"Haha, thank you Fifth Brother for the compliment, in fact, the younger brother is just doing his part." Li Su smiled like a spring breeze, and didn't seem to feel Li You's provocation at all, but Li Ke next to him frowned, staring at Li You coldly, daring to bully Li Su, I also want to see if his own brother agrees? Even Li Zhen next to her was eager to try.
"Haha~, today is to see off the fifth brother, what kind of cement do you say? It's not too early now, so the brothers will give the fifth brother another cup and let him hurry up on the road, so as not to delay the hour and not be able to catch the next post station. Li Zhi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately jumped out and said haha, but this kid had a bad stomach, so he said that Li You should go on the road, as if he was sending off a dead man, and Li You's face was blue when he was angry.
Li Chengqian saw that so many people helped Li You, and if he continued to make trouble like this, in case Li You went crazy and fought with Li Su desperately, he would definitely become a bunch of princes beating Li You, and if it spread in the future, not only would Li Yu and their younger brothers lose their faces, but even he, the prince, would be disgraced, so he hurriedly came up and separated everyone, and after giving Li You another glass of wine, he immediately took these younger brothers back.
However, before leaving, Li Yu turned around and took a look, and found that Li You's eyes flashed with endless viciousness, staring at him deadly. There is a villain like Li You and a madman who has been thinking about it, it is indeed a very distressing thing, no one knows when, he will rush up and bite himself, if Li Yu himself is not afraid, but now there are many people around him who he cares about, such as Xiao Wenxin, such as Concubine Yang, etc., so no matter what, Li Yu must not let Li You have a chance to retaliate.
Fortunately, Li Yu already has a perfect plan, and the person who executed it has also been settled, as long as this thing is done, not only can Li You be sent into the abyss, but also help him solve a big trouble by the way, which really kills two birds with one stone. Thinking of the smugness, Li Su couldn't help laughing, which caused Li Ke and Li Zhen and others next to him to be inexplicable. (To be continued)!!
