Chapter 1069: King Wu returns to China
In fact, for putting the two princes on the front line, the courtiers have long felt that something is not right, and now that Li Shimin can make this decision, everyone is also relieved, Li Xiang has been staying in Goguryeo, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, is staying in Fusang, but everyone understands that King Wu is an ornament on the front line, and there is no need at all.
But everyone didn't dare to say this, the person who arranged this matter was Li Shimin, what did he think? If we figure it out right, it may not be good for us, but if we figure it out wrong, then a crime will definitely be placed on you, so these people are silent.
Now King Wu has been renamed King of Shu, which is obviously not to let King Wu stay in the capital, but at the same time, King Wu is not allowed to stay in Fusang, the area under the jurisdiction of King Shu is around Sichuan, to be exact, around Chengdu, which is also Li Xiang's base camp, put King Shu over there, this is also to make trouble for Li Xiang.
However, compared to the previous trouble, this trouble is much smaller, and there are many officials of the Xiao family in Sichuan, these people are all from Li Xiang's line, even if Li Ke arrives in Sichuan, I am afraid that some things will not be able to be used, in the end, this prince is still aggrieved.
However, because of the reason why the Sichuan soldiers left Nanzhao, it cannot be said that the matter of Nanzhao has been solved now, in case there is anything to do in Nanzhao, King Wu can cavalry south at any time, at that time Li Xiang's influence is not so great, and Li Ke can also find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
"Emperor Qiqi, there is something wrong with this matter, according to the prince's division, King Wu should be in front of the King of Shu, but this time King Wu did not do anything wrong, and changed his title to King Shu without authorization, right?"
Xiao Yu has come back from Sichuan, and now he has also become the secretary of the criminal department, and he is one of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but he has never spoken to Li Ke, the king of Wu, before all, the relationship between the two is a little unclear, both of them belong to the family of the Great Sui Dynasty, but today this guy stood up and spoke.
In fact, everyone felt that this matter was inappropriate, but no one said anything, who was willing to speak to Li Ke? Concubine Yang Niangniang looks like the hottest harem candidate now, but Li Shimin has no plans to stand up, so Concubine Yang Niangniang is a concubine in the end, and there is no foundation that can be supported outside, Li Ke was defeated before, so who cares about this?
If someone else brought it up, Li Shimin would have to think about it for a long time, but this sentence came out of Xiao Yu's mouth, and Li Shimin knew that it was really wrong, and he really thought of it for a moment just now, and he didn't take this into account.
In fact, from the word "king", King Qin and King Jin have always been at the forefront, and King Wu and King Shu are naturally secondary, and all of Li Shimin's sons want to be named King of Qin, mainly because they want to be able to take advantage of a good fortune, Li Shimin is the emperor from the Qin Palace.
But it's a pity that Li Shimin didn't seal this word, so Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, are the two most honorable princes.
Now that King Wu has changed his title to King Shu, he has not made a mistake, this is indeed a conjecture that makes the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Association do too much, Xiao Yu said this, because he may be different from before in the future, after Li Ke arrives in Sichuan, he will definitely have too deep a relationship with the children of their family, even if Xiao Yu is how to avoid suspicion, he will still be implicated in the end, it is better to be a good person at the beginning and sell personal favors to Li Ke.
"Then add the second son as the king of Chengdu."
Li Shimin is also an old man in the political field, Li Ke's eldest son has already been crowned king, and now it is the second son, who is crowned the king of Chengdu, this is not the kind of garbage prince who is not closed, this is a fief.
The fiefdom of the father and son is in Shudi, and they will definitely live there for a long time in the future, the current Sichuan is different from before, no one wants to go to that kind of place before, and now it has been almost transformed by Xiao Yu, Li Ke and his son used to be purely the kind of peach picking, but the relationship between Xiao Yu and Li Ke is inexplicable, if someone else picks a peach, Xiao Yu's heart is still a little uncomfortable, but if he is picked by Li Ke, he can't say anything in his heart.
"Long live the wise."
This matter can be regarded as over, but Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, did not go back, he has another thing to say, it is said that the prince of a place should be in charge of military and political power, but this place in Sichuan is different from other places, after all, as a follow-up position for attacking Nanzhao, there are a lot of local nails, and it was Changsun Chong who was in charge before, if Li Ke passed, who should be responsible?
"Regarding this matter, it is still the continuation of the previous one, and I will not make too many deployments of the army for the time being, and wait until Nanzhao stabilizes."
Li Shimin said this, everyone's hearts were sad for Wu Wang Li Ke for a long time, I thought that I would be able to grasp some rights after the past, but now it seems that in addition to the people's livelihood matters, other things still have nothing to do with you, although the people's livelihood matters are nominally in the hands of the prince, but the imperial court has sent so many officials in the local area, and it is very constrained everywhere.
"However, the Ministry of War drafted a proposal for King Wu to train troops in Sichuan, all of which would be divided into three battalions, with a number of about 15,000 people."
Li Shimin's operation is becoming more and more surprising, and there are more and more things reversed today, most of the army in the Tang Dynasty is still in the hands of the military department, but the combat effectiveness of these armies is not high, and the real army with high combat effectiveness is all in the hands of Li Xiang.
Li Xiang had already written to the imperial court before, and he wanted to dismantle a part of the useless army, which would save a lot of financial revenue, but now Li Shimin still wants to let King Wu train his troops, I really don't know what this old man is thinking.
In fact, Li Shimin's heart is also bitter, not only to balance the major affairs of the court, but also to balance the affairs of his own family, King Wu has always been a son he is more optimistic about, but helplessly, Xue Yantuo Station has lost everyone's hopes for him, and now if he doesn't find something to do, I'm afraid this son will slowly decline, which is by no means what Li Shimin wants to see.
originally thought that King Wu would be able to improve in Fusang, but King Wu was unwilling to have a conflict with Li Xiang......
