Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 426 Li Shimin’s Secret Purpose

Li Chengqian was also discussing matters in the commander's tent at this time. They have been repairing in Gaimou City for a long time, but Li Chengqian has not made the next move.

This made the other generals impatient to wait. Today they came to the commander's tent just to ask when Li Chengqian's army would set off.

As the general, Li Ji was the first to speak;

"Marshal, we have been repairing here for almost a month. I don't know when the marshal is going to attack next."

"General Li, I have received a report from the law enforcement team and have captured another group of people disturbing the people. If this matter is not resolved, I have said that we will continue to repair it." Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.

"Marshal, the army here consumes a lot of supplies every day. If it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid it will be unable to survive. And I think it is not a big deal even if the soldiers rob some property.

Luuring with money can increase the combat effectiveness of the army, and I hope the marshal will focus on the overall situation," Qiu Xiaozhong also said.

"It seems that you still don't understand the true meaning of the gentle policy I said, then continue to revise it. It won't be too late for us to discuss a result before setting off for the expedition, otherwise the subsequent troubles will be even greater." Li Chengqian said decisively.

"Your Highness, winter is coming soon. Your Majesty's task for us is to capture half of the Treasure King's city as soon as possible. It would be bad if we delay the task assigned by Your Majesty." Zhang Liang stood up and said to Li Chengqian.

"Report~~~" Just when Li Chengqian was about to say something, someone came from outside to report.

The messenger came in and saluted Li Chengqian, and then said;

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has your Majesty's decree."

"Bring it to me to see"

"His Majesty requested that it be read in front of all the generals."

The messenger's words made everyone stunned, and then everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Read" Li Chengqian ordered

The messenger opened the imperial edict and began to read it.

This is an imperial edict, rather than a letter written by Li Shimin to everyone, because there are no prefixes and it is straight to the point.

"In the 27th year since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, our great ancestor Taiyuan was forced to raise an army, but he was forced to do so. The government forced the people to rebel. The great ancestor led the righteous soldiers to fight for the people of the world.

In the former Sui Dynasty, there was no Taoism and the people were in dire straits. Emperor Gaozu established the Tang Dynasty with us just to provide recuperation and recuperation for the people of the world.

The people are like water, and the court is like a boat. Water can carry or capsize a boat.

I am very satisfied with the prince's initial performance in Goguryeo, and I am very pleased with the so-called gentle strategy adopted, which shows that the prince understands this truth. "

The messenger paused after reading this. The above words are all reasonable, but the following is different. The first sentence is

"Maogong, I am very disappointed in you." This sentence made Li Ji kneel down on one knee. He knew that Li Shimin was angry.

Next, continue to read;

"You are a hero. Do you still remember why Emperor Gaozu gave you the surname Li and the official affiliation of your clan?" Li Shimin didn't say too many words in the imperial edict, but just one sentence made Li Ji burst into tears.

Then he did not mention any other generals, but just warned Li Chengqian not to let him down, and finally wrote:

"The army continues to be repaired here. All matters will be settled when the warlord comes back. The warlord is responsible for supervising military discipline and rules. He does not have to obey the marshal's orders in the future. People below the marshal are not allowed to interfere. Lu Guogong is the general manager of the march, under the marshal."

The letter has basically ended here, and Li Shimin's meaning is also very clear, which is to deal with Zhao Yuan's affairs.

Moreover, in the future, the military governor would no longer be under the marshal's management, that is, he would make the decision on his own, and no one could interfere. In the end, Cheng Yaojin became under the marshal.

This made Li Daozong look very bad. He was originally the deputy marshal under the marshal, but now he has become the third-in-command, because Li Shimin said that under the marshal,

This proves that Li Shimin is very dissatisfied with his performance and is trying to knock him.

Several generals in the field did not mention themselves when they heard that, and their hearts were relieved. Only Zhang Liang knew in his heart that unless they had any big achievements in the future,

Otherwise, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future. This is because Li Shimin gave up on them. Although Zhang Liang did not join in the opposition, he did not stand with Li Chengqian, but watched from the other side.

Zhang Liang sighed in his heart. It was a mistake for him to remain neutral all the time. His Majesty asked him to come here to help the prince, but now he is doing nothing.

Zhang Liang looked at Li Ji with dull eyes and shook his head. Li Ji would probably be punished when he went back. It would be light to stay idle for a few years.

"Everyone has heard His Majesty's imperial edict, so everyone should perform their duties and wait for the arrival of additional reinforcements. The law enforcement team has been withdrawn. The marshal can no longer take care of the affairs of the governor.

But we can manage the rebellion. All those who make trouble in the city will be arrested by this palace. "

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Chengqian began to issue orders. He could no longer let Li Shimin down.

~~~Movement~~Movement~~~~

It's true that more people bring greater power. It didn't take long for Li Shen's bridge deck to be laid, and a layer of reinforced concrete was laid on top.

While smoothing the road, the bridge deck was also strengthened. Now we have begun to dismantle the engineering framework. It will be completed after the bridge deck is completely dry.

After almost two months, the modern bridge across the Liao River was finally completed, and Li Shen was also waiting for the arrival of the army led by Cheng Yaojin.

It is said that there are 20 troops, but in fact the number must be 35, and there are 15 civilians. This time they are laborers included in the tax.

Moreover, working with the army cannot be completed in fifteen or twenty days. If it takes a long time, they will exempt all the court taxes this year, and may even take out next year's.

A few days later, Li Shen got the news that 20 troops had arrived at the Wuluoluo and were heading towards the east gate.

Soon Cheng Yaojin arrived at Li Shen's tent.

"I have met the Grand Governor." Cheng Yaojin saluted Li Shen.

"Oh, General Cheng, you are here. I have been waiting for you here for more than two months." Li Shen quickly stepped forward to support Cheng Yaojin.

"Hahaha, Your Highness Prince Ji, I also want to arrive as soon as possible, but for this march, we also brought a lot of food and grass to the troops in front.

Therefore, the marching speed was really slow, and coupled with several heavy rains, the marching was even more difficult. "

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said that he had always had a crush on the young prince Li Shen, and his boy now looked like a human being in the army.

He stopped messing around in Chang'an. Although it cost him a lot of opportunities to practice martial arts, he still made a lot of money every year.

"Come, please take a seat, old general." Li Shen also had a very good impression of Cheng Yaojin. At least this guy had spoken for him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I have also heard about your matter, but I don't believe that His Highness would be so angry by those little fishes.

If His Highness has any tricks up his sleeve, please tell me, lest I fall for it too. "

(Class: stand up

In the second year of Wude, Xu Maogong said to the chief historian Guo Xiaoke: "Wei Gong (Li sealed Wei Guogong) has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Now the people's land here belongs to Wei Gong.

If I offer them above, I will be profiting from the master's failure, taking credit for myself, and using them to seek wealth, which I think is a shame.

Now it is time to record the names and numbers of prefectures and counties and the household registrations of soldiers and civilians, and report them all to Duke Wei, so that Duke Wei can present them to the court. This is Duke Wei's contribution. "

He then sent a messenger to write to Li Mi. When the envoy first arrived at the court, Li Yuan was surprised to hear that Xu Shiji had not written a letter but only wrote to Li Mi. When the envoy informed Li Yuan of Xu Shiji's intention,

Li Yuancai said with great joy: "Xu Shiji was grateful for his master's kindness and refused to take credit. He is indeed a pure minister." He issued an edict and made him the general manager of Liyang, Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Duke of Lai Kingdom.

He was also awarded the title of General Youwuhou, changed the title to Cao Guogong, and was given the surname Li and "the official status of the attached clan". He was also given fifty hectares of fertile land and the first high-class house. Xu Shiji changed his name to Li Shiji from then on.
