Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shentong each have their own opinions, and no one will let anyone, and they are inextricably contested.

In the end, Li Yuan was upset when he heard it, and shouted: "Shut up." ”

"This matter will be discussed again tomorrow and retreat."

Li Yuan was angry and left with his sleeves up.

The ministers hurriedly shouted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Li Yuan left, Li Shentong mocked Li Yuanji: "It's good to be young and vigorous, but on the battlefield, the most taboo is to act impulsively, young people, don't be strong." ”

"What's wrong with being young?" Li Yuanji was very unconvinced, and rushed over: "Last time, you and Li Yi couldn't resist Liu Heimin, and then it wasn't me who helped you, so I hit the Handong army hard and drove Liu Heimin away." ”

"Can you help me? Hehe. ”

Li Shentong sneered as if he had heard a big joke: "In that war, King Qin was the commander, you were just a deputy marshal, and it was King Qin who hit the Handong Army hard and drove Liu Heimin away, not your King of Qi." ”

"You ......" Li Yuanji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this time, Li Jiancheng walked over with a majestic face: "Arguing endlessly in the court, what kind of system is it?" Still not leaving? ”

"The minister retired."

The two glared at each other and walked away angrily.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji's back, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.

Shiro has grown up and knows how to fight for power......

Back in the East Palace, Li Jiancheng convened his subordinates to discuss today's court meeting.

Wei Zheng took the lead and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions today are too reckless, Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, is attached to you, and it is understandable for you to cultivate his power, but he is cowardly and incompetent, and he has no talent as a general."

"The last time I joined forces with Li Xiaogong to attack Xiao Miao, the king of Lujiang did not establish meritorious deeds, and since His Majesty gave him the right to serve the army, he has done nothing, it is okay to defend the city in the peaceful and prosperous times, and the king of Lujiang is not good to conquer the rebels in the troubled times.

"This time, Liu Heimin made a comeback with the help of the Turkic soldiers, and there is a great tendency to sweep Hebei, and you propose that the king of Lujiang take command of the expedition, and he will definitely lose to Liu Heimin.

"How will you deal with the courtiers and the people when the time comes? And how can you live up to Your Majesty's expectations? ”

The subordinates criticized themselves so mercilessly, which made Li Jiancheng feel embarrassed.

He wanted to get angry, but when he thought that if his loyal ministers were punished, who would dare to admonish him in the future, he endured it again.

"After hearing that His Majesty did not allow the King of Qin to take command, the Party of the King of Qin did not speak out, but you and the King of Qi and the King of Huai'an have been arguing.

"Haven't you thought that Liu Heimin is powerful, except for King Qin, they don't dare to recommend other people, because they were defeated, and no one can afford this responsibility?"

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Zhao Hongzhi was not convinced: "According to what you say, won't our East Palace send people?"

"That's military power, even if the East Palace can't get it, it can't be obtained by others."

Wei Zheng paused: "I didn't say that the East Palace wouldn't send people, but I just couldn't send King Lujiang." ”

"Except for King Lujiang, we don't have a suitable candidate at the moment." Wang Qi said.

These words hit the nail on the head, and Li Jiancheng glanced at Wang Jue with appreciation.

My father doesn't trust people with foreign surnames, and the military power will only be in the hands of the Li clan, although there are many fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty, there are not many people with foreign surnames that can make my father trust.

Wei Zheng was silent.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng: "Aren't you going to Hongmeng Academy to give a lecture today?" The hour is getting late, so go. ”

Wei Zheng knew that his words and deeds just now had angered Li Jiancheng, so he didn't say much and retired directly.

After Wei Zheng left, Xu Shimo said to Li Jiancheng: "Although the king of Lujiang is not good at fighting, he can be assigned a capable general as a deputy commander, so that he can also achieve victory."

"Just like King Zhao and Li Jing, if there is no Li Jing, King Zhao will not be able to eradicate Xiao Miao."

The king of Zhao Jun is Li Xiaogong, who pacified Xiao Mo with the assistance of Li Jing and became the king.

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he instructed Su Dingfang: "You go and talk to your father-in-law, and let him say a few good words for King Lujiang in front of His Majesty." ”

Su Dingfang felt very embarrassed, but he had to obey, so he had to respond.

After Su Dingfang left, Li Jiancheng instructed Wei Ting: "You go and inform Pei Lian." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Ting went to do it immediately.

And when Su Dingfang arrived at the Provincial Government Office under the door, he happened to meet Chen Shuda coming out of it, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Chen Gong." ”

His wife, Chen Qinglian, is Chen Shuda's youngest daughter, and Chen Shuda is now the governor of Menxia Province - Shizhong, and his official position is far above Su Dingfang.

Chen Shuda once warned him that he should be cautious in his words and deeds in the palace, and he must distinguish between public and private, so when Su Dingfang meets Chen Shuda in the palace, he will call him "Chen Gong".

"Hmm." Chen Shuda nodded at him and walked forward.

Su Dingfang raised his heels: "Where is Gong Chen?" I send you. ”

"No need to send it, I'm going to see Your Majesty."

Su Dingfang's eyes moved, and he insisted: "I'll send you." ”

Chen Shuda turned his head to look at him, and then continued to walk: "It was the prince who asked you to come to me, right?" Say, what's the matter? ”

"It's still Chen Gong Yingming, I can't hide anything from you." Su Dingfang flattered the old man in a timely manner, and then said what he meant: "The prince wants you to say a few words for King Lujiang in front of His Majesty." ”

"Do you also think that the King of Lujiang is suitable to go to Liu Heimin?" Chen Shuda suddenly asked Su Dingfang's opinion.

In front of his father-in-law, Su Dingfang didn't want to lie: "Actually, I'm not optimistic about King Lujiang, and I don't want to come to pass the word."

"But you know, I am on an errand in the East Palace, and sometimes I can't help myself, so please forgive Chen Gong.

"I'm only responsible for passing on the word, as for how to tell Your Majesty, Chen Gong just insists on your own opinion."

didn't blindly succumb to power, it's not bad, Chen Shuda showed a satisfied look.

When he arrived near the Taiji Palace, Su Dingfang said, "I can only send you here, please." ”

Chen Shuda nodded at him, took two steps and then turned back to tell him: "When you are on an errand in the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not act recklessly. ”

"The son-in-law obeys the teachings."

......

Outside the palace gate, Liu Wenjing asked Yin Kaishan: "Since the king gave you instructions, why didn't you say it at the court meeting just now?" ”

"What about speaking out? Will His Majesty agree? ”

Liu Wenjing was stunned.

Yin Kaishan continued: "You also saw it just now, the crown prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Huai'an all want to rob the boss this time, if I say it, it is just to join their quarrel, Your Majesty is upset when you hear it, how can you listen to us?"

"Your Majesty often summons important ministers to discuss state affairs after court meetings, and for such a big matter as the selection of marshals, Your Majesty will definitely ask important ministers for advice.

"Therefore, it is better for us to make suggestions at the court meeting than for Xiao Shangshu to make a suggestion to His Majesty in private."

Liu Wenjing listened to it and felt that it was very reasonable, and invited Yin Kaishan with a smile: "Let's go, I'll invite you to drink." ”

"Okay, let's go."

The two happily got into the carriage.

As Yin Kaishan expected, Li Yuan summoned Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu, three important confidants, to ask them for their opinions.

"Liu Heimin once again violated the territory of our dynasty, it is unforgivable, this time he must be killed and the Hebei rebels will be uprooted.

"So the marshal of this expedition is very important, who do you think is capable of taking on this important task?"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu looked at Pei Lin and motioned for Pei Lin to speak first with their eyes.

Pei Lin didn't give in, and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Lujiang can take on this position......
