Chapter 67 Divide Military Power
Cui Yunzhu's face was full of panic at the moment. Didn't he agree to deal with Li Xiang together? And Li Xiang must pay the price for what he has done, but now the trend is completely different. Not only is there no intention of making him pay the price, but he may also be allowed to take military power.
All the major families knew about what happened at Fuyun Restaurant yesterday. After some analysis, they also knew that Li Xiang was not a good boy. If such a person were given military power, he would be the second Li Shimin.
When Li Yuan was choosing the crown prince, the major families had already clearly expressed their support for Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin's eldest brother, because Li Jiancheng did not have so many ambitions, which was convenient for the major families to control.
But the last Xuanwumen Incident overturned everything planned by the major families. This was also a big mistake in their political investment. At that time, they concluded that they could never let the third generation of the Tang Dynasty Just like Li Shimin, if this is the case, then there will be no room for survival for wealthy families like them.
If Li Xiang were to gain military power, he would slowly transform into Li Shimin, and even become more powerful than Li Shimin...
After Cui Yunzhu understood all this, he immediately exchanged glances with the people in his faction. Since he could not prevent the establishment of this yamen, he could not let this yamen fall into the hands of Li Xiang.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is the best among the princes..."
Li Tai got a bargain today. Under Cui Yunzhu's mobilization, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward to recommend Li Tai.
This was something Li Xiang didn't expect. If Li Tai took advantage, wouldn't his previous planning be in vain?
"Wei Chen reconsideration..."
"Wei Chen..."
After the right minister of the Ministry of Justice finished what he said, several officials immediately stood up to reconsider.
Li Shimin watched all this happily from above. This was indeed beyond his expectation. He originally wanted to see how Li Xiang could get out of the predicament in front of him, but he didn't expect the development of things to surprise him. A new yamen was thrown out. It completely attracted everyone's attention. No one seemed to remember the beating of Cui Yuncheng yesterday.
After Master Ma saw this scene, he stood honestly in his original position and had no intention of continuing to talk. He had done everything Li Xiang asked him to do, and now that it has developed like this, it has nothing to do with him. relation.
Seeing what happened in the court, Cui Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this position does not fall on Li Xiang's head, it will be a victory for them. If it falls on Li Xiang's head, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn around. Someone has to settle the score with him, but why do you feel that something is wrong about this matter? Damn it, isn't Li Xiang being impeached today? Why did you end up here?
More and more people came out to express their views in the court, and most officials supported Li Tai. After all, the East Palace did not have many supporters in the court anymore. This was all due to Li Chengqian's previous nonsense.
Li Shimin also looked at Li Xiang with great interest, wanting to see how Li Xiang could break the situation. If this position was handed over to Li Tai today, it would mean Li Xiang's complete failure today, but if he wanted to succeed among the ministers, Turning things around is not that easy now.
"Xiang'er, you were the one who caught the Korean spy yesterday. You also have a say in this matter. I want to hear what you think."
After all the people from all parties had finished talking, Li Shimin also called Li Xiang's name, and the hall immediately became quiet. Li Xiang has been like a star these days, resounding throughout Chang'an City. They also want to see it. Let’s see how His Highness Changsun responds to this complicated situation.
Li Tai also looked at Li Xiang with a proud face, and finally moved back to the next round. Ever since he almost lost the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant in the hall that day, Li Tai has always been at a disadvantage when facing Li Xiang, and now he finally I’ve picked your peaches too.
"Returning to my grandfather, my grandson has heard everything that the adults said just now. The second uncle should be capable in this regard, so the grandson also recommends the second uncle to be the first palm seal of the new Yamen."
What surprised everyone was that Li Xiang, like everyone else, recommended Li Tai to be the palm print of the new Yamen. Did Li Xiang choose to admit defeat?
Li Shimin obviously didn't expect this answer. He always thought that Li Xiang would be strong when he was strong and would never accept defeat. But what is going on now?
"However, my grandson also wants to practice with his second uncle, so I beg my grandfather to arrange a position for my grandson. Even if he is a soldier in the new yamen, my grandson is willing. It is better than sitting idle at home."
After hearing what Li Xiang said, everyone had different thoughts.
Some people, like Li Tai, are extremely happy in their hearts, feeling that Li Xiang has finally given up. As long as I become the first officer of this yamen, if you work under me in the future, I will be able to put on your shoes at any time. The credit is definitely not yours, but the mistakes are all yours.
But Changsun Wuji's face showed his admiration. In the situation just now, unless the emperor insists on letting Li Xiang serve as the first palm print of this yamen, otherwise there will be no hope of change. After all, there are many people in the court. Some officials have already supported Wei King Li Tai, and the emperor cannot go against the ideas of all officials.
In this case, Li Xiang proposed to go in and be a soldier. This was considered as preserving his own interests in the most extreme situation. As the emperor's eldest grandson, of course the emperor would not let him be a soldier.
A man who can bend and stretch is Li Xiang at this moment.
Li Jing also had admiration in his eyes. If Li Xiang refuses this matter, it means that Li Xiang's character cultivation is not mature enough. A few words can make him irritable. Such a person will have to practice more in the future.
"Qingque, what do you think?"
Li Shimin's face was expressionless, and he still had to see what Li Tai thought.
"Xiang'er is already thirteen years old. He should come out and get some experience. If he continues to study at home, his knowledge may not grow so fast. I am willing to teach him for my elder brother."
Li Taipi said with a smile, he thought he could already put on Li Xiang's shoes.
"In this case, the new Yamen will be built under the name of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. You can choose the address and get involved in catching the spies as soon as possible. It is tentatively designated as the fourth rank, with Qingque as the pawprint and Xiang'er as the deputy palmprint. Eight hundred elite soldiers."
Li Shimin was also very careful in allocating troops. Even his sons and grandsons could never exceed a thousand men.
After finishing speaking, Cui Yunzhu's face was livid. The one who suffered the greatest loss was Wu Xing Qi Wang...
