Chapter 197: Fang Xiang's Guidance
"Your Highness is too polite, you don't dare to give advice, just a few gossips."
Fang Xuanling said so, Li Xiang naturally wanted to follow Fang Xuanling out, although there was already a soft sedan car carried over, but from here to the door of the palace, it was also a good place to talk.
"Your Royal Highness is young and promising, and now he has military merits, and he already has his own influence in the country and the army, I don't know what to do next?"
Fang Xuanling is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and the maker of the main policies of the Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to gossip with Li Xiang, and coming here to talk to Li Xiang about these words must be something to refer to.
Li Xiang carefully smacked every word, and suddenly Li Xiang understood, this is saying that he is too popular, after all, he is only fourteen years old now, and the emperor is already unsealable, if you continue like this, it is very likely that you will be crowned with great success, even if you are the grandson of the emperor, he may also guard against you.
The emperor is afraid that his children and grandchildren are incompetent, but he is even more afraid that his children and grandchildren are too talented, for example, when Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, he may have felt like this.
Li Shimin is too aware of this matter, as the emperor's father, when deciding on a certain major event, he still needs to ask Li Shimin what he means, is this emperor a little aggrieved?
Li Shimin was afraid that he had reached that step again, so he asked Fang Xuanling to order Li Xiang, after all, Li Xiang is only a fourteen-year-old child, and there is still a long way to go, there is no need to develop so fast, Li Shimin is in the prime of life at the moment, and a grandson who can do things is indeed needed, but he can't be too capable of doing things.
"When I came back from the battlefield this time, because of the weather and climate, I always felt a little uncomfortable up and down, and I felt it even more when I ate just now, it may be the difference in diet between the two places, so I also wanted to ask the imperial doctor to regulate my body, but the emperor's grandfather asked me to go to the Beiya Forbidden Army to take charge of the Zuo Shenwu Army, such an important position, if I shirk it at this moment, I am afraid it will cause the emperor's grandfather to be dissatisfied......"
Li Xiang's acting skills are also very good, and his face shows some pain, of course, what Li Xiang said is also the truth, except for Li Xiang, many people who came back from the south have all kinds of physical problems, so what Li Xiang said can also get by.
"The body is a big thing, His Royal Highness is still young, there must be no mistakes, I have to go to see the Imperial Doctor in the next two days, the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital is the Holy Hand of Xinglin, incurable diseases are not a problem, Your Highness can find him to take a look, take care of his body, and there will be many places to contribute to Datang in the future, but he can't break his body."
Fang Xuanling's words have a deep meaning, reminding Li Xiang not to care about temporary gains and losses, you yourself are still young, and there will be more opportunities to ascend to the position in the future, there is no need to stay in the limelight at this moment, this will attract the attention of many people, and it may make you a target.
"Fang Xiang is right, when I was on the battlefield of Tuyuhun, I thought about the prosperity of Chang'an City, and now I have finally returned to Chang'an City, and I should enjoy life, I still have a lot of industry, I think I have to take care of it, but my grandfather ...... there."
Li Xiang pretended to hesitate and said, the holy decree was read out in front of thousands of soldiers, and the magistrates in various places along the way also knew that if they did not take up their posts after returning to Beijing, then there would be people everywhere who were dissatisfied, especially those who came back from the battlefield, should the emperor treat the heroes harshly?
"The position can still be retained, our ministers of the Tang Dynasty have more part-time jobs, so this is not a matter, only the emperor needs to send a deputy general to help His Highness manage the Shenwu Army, His Royal Highness only needs to go to the fifteenth day of the first month, and nothing will happen."
When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Xiang knew what it meant to release military power with a glass of wine, but that Song Taizu had not yet been born!
Li Shimin had just invited himself to dinner, but he didn't bring it up at the dinner, but asked his right-hand man to bring it up after the meal, although the way was different, but the thing to be done was that thing.
Li Xiang is only fourteen this year, and he has already achieved such a feat, if he continues to be in charge of the Beiya Forbidden Army, then he will definitely have a great future within the army, and once Li Xiang thinks about the imperial robe in the future, Li Shimin may not be able to stop it, not to mention that from the perspective of Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin's performance, the generals of the older generation also appreciate Li Xiang, which gives Li Shimin more pressure.
Although there were many old ministers who praised Li Tai in the past, Li Shimin knew very well that those people only said it for the sake of face, Li Tai did not have such great talent, and now generals at all levels praised Li Xiang, which is from the bottom of his heart, especially some real people that Li Shimin thinks, such as General Qin Qiong who only tells the truth.
This person is not afraid of the powerful, no matter what kind of background you are, if you don't have the ability, then there is no way to stay in his barracks, such a person praises Li Xiang, you can imagine what Li Xiang's performance is in the army.
"Thank you for the reminder, I understand."
Li Xiang can see that Li Shimin still lets himself take up his post, and occasionally appears in the barracks of the Zuo Shenwu Army, giving people a false impression that the Zuo Shenwu Army is still in Li Xiang's hands, but he can't go every day, and Li Shimin will also send a deputy general he can trust, who is the real leader of the Zuo Shenwu Army.
This is a typical example of wanting to be a biao and setting up a chastity archway, but as the king of a country, he must balance all aspects of the forces, and he can't let one side dominate, Li Xiang took a bit of a big step this time, so Li Shimin also wants to cut Li Xiang's power.
What's more, Chang'an City is the most important area of the Tang Dynasty, and the armed forces of a few hundred people Li Shimin will not care, but if it is a tiger and wolf army of nearly 10,000 people, Li Shimin's heart is also worried.
Once Li Xiang also learns from Li Shimin's method and there is another Xuanwumen change, the army in Beijing may not be able to resist it.
"Your Highness is smart, you must be able to figure out the problems in this, I won't say more, if you can survive the loneliness and survive the time, Your Highness will definitely become the last ......"
Fang Xuanling also realized that he had said too much, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then got on the eight-lift sedan next to him.
Li Xiang also looked back at the direction of the palace, it was already dark at this moment, but above the Qinzheng Palace, it was like a fierce tiger staring at the entire Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty......
