Chapter 720 Li Ke served as the governor of Yingzhou

The eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself: "This is what the emperor said himself, but I didn't mention it, I just hinted at you not long ago." However, since you have brought it up, then I have to object and show you that I don't like this son of yours, old minister! ”

Shaking his head, the eldest grandson Wuji is the same as usual, as long as others mention Li Ke's name, he will have a serious expression, pick his nose and pick his eyes, even if he praises a few words, he often has to add a few ugly words later. Just like the last time he said that Li Ke was sensible and began to study the situation of the enemy country, he only praised a few words, and then said that Li Ke loved to watch Goguryeo's songs and dances, and he was purely a plaything.

This time he was no exception, shaking his head and saying: "Your Majesty, King Wu is a little promising, but it is a small promising." He did study the customs and customs of Goguryeo, but his ability to do things was too poor, and he couldn't do anything, so he could just build a canal in Gyeongju. Although sending someone to repair Goguryeo is not a major military matter, the old minister sees that he can't do it, and whoever is sent to this matter can do it, so why do you have to send him! ”

Li Shimin knew that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't look down on Li Ke, and he didn't say anything bad about Li Ke for a day or two, and he was used to hearing it for a long time. Li Shimin smiled, shook his head, and said: "Wuji, before I mentioned Ke'er just now, you said that you had to send someone who knew Goguryeo to do this, and you were worried that no one in the court knew Goguryeo, so I didn't know who to send." But as soon as I said that I wanted to send Ke'er, how did you become a person to send anyone? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "This, King Wu is the respect of the prince, don't take risks, Yingzhou is very dangerous, it's better to send someone else, King Wu, as a prince, can't take risks, just stay in Gyeongju honestly." ”

Li Shimin sighed and was greatly disapproving. Fathers in the world are the same, they all hope that their sons will be promising, even if a certain son is not his favorite, but he still hopes that this son can pick up the beam, take a step back and say that he can't pick up the beam, and he can always pick up a small beam. What father wants his son to be a gentleman?

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji repeatedly belittled Li Ke, Li Shimin felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he said: "Wuji, no matter what, Ke'er is also your nephew, why do you look down on him so much?" I hope that he can temper it, and the matter of Yingzhou, first, he will understand Goguryeo, and secondly, there is no real danger, so he can take advantage of the situation to lead the troops and understand the army, isn't it a good thing. Then you say, "If you don't send him, who will you send?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also pretended to be unhappy, he said: "Since you want to temper and understand the military, then why don't you let the prince temper and understand, this kind of opportunity can't always be encountered, why don't you send the prince and send King Wu?" ”

The way he speaks, he has a bit of a calf protection, and he wants to pull any good thing on Li Zhi's body, but he doesn't want to cheap Li Ke.

Li Shimin snorted happily and said with a smile: "Wuji, you are a person, how can I say hello!" The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, so who to send is different. Okay, no need to say more, just send Ke'er to go, give him more opportunities, let him mature and experienced, temper it, isn't it also a good helper for Zhi'er in the future, fighting brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, as Zhi'er's wings, how can there be better than brothers! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "If the emperor insists on this, then the old minister can only agree, but ...... But King Wu can't be allowed to lead the troops. Well, it's impossible not to bring soldiers, anyway, you can't bring government soldiers, it's enough to only bring county soldiers, let him recruit on the spot! ”

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Anyway, if you don't give Ke'er some problems, you are not happy in your heart!" He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then according to Wuji, we will not give Ke'er the military power to transfer the government soldiers, but only let him recruit the county soldiers on the spot." In fact, speaking of which, there are a large number of government soldiers in Yingzhou, only in Youzhou, and it doesn't matter whether or not you give him the military power of the government soldiers! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's better to make it clearer, lest he take the chicken feathers as an arrow, in case he can't handle the affairs of Yingzhou, he will ask Youzhou to ask for government soldiers, so that the people still think that they are going to fight a big battle, once the people's hearts are unstable, won't it be a disaster." ”

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, it's all according to Wuji." Then this edict, it is better for you to write it, this is not enough. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pouted and said: "It's better to let Shi Zhongchen write, the old minister's wrist hurts and he can't lift the pen!" ”

"Really, it's all heaven and earth, how can you still look like a child!" Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, he was quite an old person, and he still played a child's temper, so he didn't make people laugh!

He said again: "Wuji, what I mean is that you have a few words of encouragement in the edict, so that he can also thank you, thank you for giving him a chance to temper." Later, when he returns to Beijing, your uncle and nephew will meet, so as not to be like a cockfight, so that I will be upset! ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he reluctantly said: "Okay, it's up to the old minister to write it." However, the old minister thinks that King Wu is not the best candidate, otherwise let's discuss it again and change someone! ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Wuji, you can let me save some heart, hurry up and write!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes and pretended to rest, expressing his unwillingness to argue with the eldest grandson Wuji again.

The eldest grandson Wuji still had a serious expression, but his heart was happy. Okay, I've always been against this matter, if one day, Li Ke's little rabbit cub is a demon, but no wonder I, repair him, I won't show mercy, who let him live up to the emperor's ardent expectations!

Let the little eunuch lay out the paper and study the ink, the eldest grandson Wuji picked up the pen, and in a moment, with a wave, he wrote the edict. He said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has written it, do you want to take a look?" ”

Li Shimin hummed and said, "You read it, I listen!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji read the edict again, Li Shimin listened to it, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Wuji, you are right to do this, I have always known that you are a person who understands the general situation, and I will not take this kind of thing as a child's play!" ”

The edict written by the eldest grandson Wuji was sincere, comforting Li Ke and encouraging him to handle the affairs of Goguryeo well, not to live up to his father's expectations of him, and to transfer Li Ke to Yingzhou, which was added, and he was given the title of governor of Yingzhou, and he could act cheaply on the military and political affairs of Yingzhou!

Li Ke played Yangmou in the hope of being able to change the title to Yingzhou, so that he could collect taxes on his own and turn Yingzhou into a small kingdom of half **, but how could the eldest grandson Wuji really do this for him, he just gave him the title of governor, a little real power, but it was also limited.

But in Li Shimin's eyes, he thought that the eldest grandson Wuji had made major concessions, and the relationship between his uncle and nephew had been initially improved.

The eldest grandson Wuji sealed the edict and sent a messenger to Yingzhou to announce the decree, and Li Ke could go to Yingzhou.

After doing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the bed, and said with a smile: "Wuji, after this incident, Ke'er will definitely respect you more in the future, and I hope that when you see him in the future, you won't blow your beard and stare at him again." In fact, Ke'er, this child is the most like me, the better you treat him, the better he will be to you! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't accept this feeling, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. The most like you is not King Wu, but the crown prince, this must not be mistaken! ”

Li Shimin had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, you're right, it's Zhi'er who is the most like me, and he is the most like me!" "I sighed in my heart, I want to say who Zhi'er looks like, like his mother, it is true, but like me...... Alas, how much does he look like me, if he is like me, how can I worry so much!

A few days later, Gyeongju.

Li Ke finally waited for the edict he dreamed of, he became the governor of Yingzhou, and after receiving the order, he would soon set off for Liaodong.

Li Ke was happy in his heart, he really didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly, I don't know what method the eldest grandson Wuji used to make his father agree to go to Yingzhou, but it was a fly in the ointment, he didn't change his title to Yingzhou, but just went to be a governor. But it doesn't matter, the governor is also very good, he is in charge of the military and political power of a state, and he can also recruit county soldiers and train his own army, which is the power he wants most.

Li Ke took the holy decree, showed it to Pu Junnan, and said: "Brother Pu, the decree of Chang'an says that this king wants to act cheaply, which means that the county soldiers recruited by my police station will go to Goguryeo to harass them, right?" I didn't say it too specifically, I wonder if this king is wrong? ”

Park Junnan also didn't quite understand, and said: "It seems that this kind of thing can't be clearly written on the holy decree, otherwise it will not damage the majesty of the kingdom if it spreads?" ”

Li Ke thought to himself: "It is impossible for my father to know that I am dealing with the Goguryeo people now, and the handwriting of this holy decree is written by the eldest grandson Wuji, so it is estimated that it means to send troops to harass Goguryeo." This trick is good to use, it can drag Goguryeo out without spending anything, it can be regarded as a method of fighting to feed the war. ”

He said: "No matter what it means, in short, if this king can go to Yingzhou, everything will be fine, I will say to Wang Ping'an, and then I will set off, and I don't want to stay in this ghost place in Gyeongju for a moment." ”

Park Jun-nam didn't want to stay here long, after all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, it's too dangerous, go early, and get closer to Goguryeo, the better!

Li Ke sent someone to find Wang Ping'an again, this time he was not afraid that Wang Ping'an would avoid him, just hide, anyway, if he delayed the matter, Wang Ping'an himself would be responsible, as long as he said that he didn't find him, he would be!

But this time, he sent someone to find him, and he found Wang Ping'an. As soon as Wang Ping'an got the news, he immediately rushed to Maling County, not only to see him off, but also to send the travel expenses, which was a thousand yuan, saying that it was for Li Ke to spend on the road.

Li Ke collected the travel fee, simply said a few words to Wang Ping'an, and sent Wang Ping'an away, and he didn't need to be sent by the officials in Gyeongju, just like a rabbit in a hurry to escape, and the next morning, he left Gyeongju with the Goguryeo people and his staff and capable people.
