The 140th chapter wants to be this official (2)
"Hey, Your Highness has misunderstood. I am not fighting for this position because I am greedy for my official position. I am thinking about His Highness."
Hearing Zhang Liang's explanation, Li Tai was a little confused. How much of a bargain had he gotten? What good things could happen to him again?
"For the sake of my king, how can I say this? You must know that this right-guard general was picked up by us."
"You know that I am a former general of the Prince of Qin. I used to have some friendship with Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, and Cheng Zhijie.
Recently, I heard something from them that because the prince wanted to avoid suspicion, Qin Qiong would not come out to compete for this position. And this time Li Ji, who had made great contributions, became the most popular person among the generals of Zuowei.
Moreover, I also heard that the people of the King of Shu are also protecting him. Did Li Ji get through the East Palace and the King of Shu?"
"Is your news true?" Li Tai didn't believe that Li Ji had the ability to make the boss and the third child come out to speak for him at the same time. Although he and the prince had good cooperation during the Northern Expedition, they didn't
Let’s see if they have any close contact after returning to Beijing.
"I have heard no fewer than five or six people say this. This Li Ji has always been on good terms with Changsun Wuji, so the prince will naturally not embarrass him.
He is also a man who is good at conquering and fighting. If he is appointed as the general of the left guard, then sooner or later I, the general of the right guard, will be pushed out by him.
In this case, there will no longer be His Highness's power in the Sixteenth Guards Army, which will be very detrimental to your future, Your Highness."
Seeing that Li Tai didn't believe it, Zhang Liang quickly added a few words. Changsun Wuji's energy was huge. His reputation with the emperor and the prince was not comparable to that of everyone in the court.
If we really let this old guy come out to disrupt the situation, this thing might actually happen. Didn't you think that Jieli turned the situation around by himself?
Zhang Liang's words are a bit interesting. If it's really what these people say, then this Li Ji is really quite capable.
Well? No, it is impossible for the third child and Changsun Wuji to get together. No matter what it is, no matter whether it is right or wrong, these two people with deep grudges will not give up their grudges for many years because of Li Ji.
"Even you can see it. Can the King of Shu see that such a smart person as Lao San would make wedding clothes for the prince and eldest grandson Wuji? He would give up such an important position as General Zuowei to others.
.
He is performing Xiangzhuang's sword dance with the intention of Duke Pei. Duke Yun will listen to this king and ask our people to protect Li Ji."
Seeing the confidence on Li Tai's face, Zhang Liang didn't understand. If everyone went to protect Li Ji, wouldn't they just be fooled?
"Li Ji, the deputy commander-in-chief, was protected by the two prime ministers Fang and Du. In addition to Changsun Wuji and the people of the King of Shu, whoever wants to oppose him, he helped Li Ji.
If you think about it, if we also come out to protect Li Ji and let everyone in the court agree, then Li Ji will be chosen according to my father's temperament. By then, my father will have other candidates."
"Your Highness, you are still smarter." Zhang Liang gave a thumbs up and said to Li Tai with a smile.
East Palace
"Your Highness, you rejected His Majesty's idea of letting Shu Bao serve as the left guard. What do you think about Li Ji?"
Li Ji himself came to show his kindness, so I had to say a few words for him no matter what.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to add another handsome man to the East Palace? Besides, the emperor was also very satisfied with Li Ji's work in Baidao and recruiting soldiers.
"Uncle, Li Ji has bad personal ethics. Even if he can fight, he can't be trusted. Think about it when Emperor Wude wanted to assign him to Jiancheng. In order not to get caught up in the fight between the two factions, he turned around and defected.
Li Jing.
This time he took the initiative to betray his mentor who had cultivated him for many years. Who can really trust such a person? Based on your understanding of the father, if he trusts Li Ji, how can he let Yi Guogong temporarily hold the commander's seal?
."
Regarding Li Ji, Li Chengqian and the emperor had the same idea. Even if a person can be so selfish, what else can he not betray?
Could it be that Emperor Wude was not very kind to him? Wasn't his mentor Li Jing not very affectionate towards him?
For such a person with no moral bottom line, Li Chengqian would rather use Zhang Baoxiang, because at least this old boy knows what kindness is and what righteousness is.
"Does His Highness have any prejudice against Li Ji?" Didn't he say that Li Ji cooperated very well with the prince in the battle of Dingxiang? Why does my nephew look down on him so much?
In response to his uncle's question, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shrugged, and after filling a cup of tea for him, he said leisurely: "The reason why people are called people is because of their feelings, whether they are towards their monarch or relatives and friends.
Originally, I just disliked Li Ji, but because he asked his mother to marry his daughter two days ago, I felt a little disgusted with him."
"Why is this? Isn't it honorable for all nobles to ask the queen to grant a marriage? Did Li Ji do anything else that harmed the way of being a minister?"
Changsun Wuji didn't understand even more. He insisted that he knew Li Chengqian well and he would not evaluate a person because of his personal preferences. It must be Li Ji who did something that touched the bottom line of this precious nephew, which made him hate Li Chengqian so much.
Achievements.
"At Evil Yang Ridge, in order to boost the morale of the entire army, Li Ji asked his son-in-law to lead the dead soldiers as the vanguard. After the failure, he killed his relatives in front of the entire army.
This is interesting. His son-in-law was capable of leading troops. Li Ji did this just to scare the monkeys, and to establish his majesty as the deputy commander in front of the entire army.
You must know that this was what he had planned before he sent someone up, which shows how ruthless this person is.
If he really wanted to inspire the whole army, why didn't he send Li Zhen? You should understand why my uncle has been fighting with his father for many years."
"After returning to Beijing, Li Ji asked to see his mother and asked her to marry his daughter. He regarded his son-in-law as a ladder to rise to power.
Looking back, he even waived the obligation to observe filial piety and directly asked the queen mother to find him a new wife and continue to marry for profit. Do you think the East Palace can tolerate such a person?"
How could Changsun Wuji know about such a trivial matter? He never thought that since Li Ji was so selfish in life, he was mistaken at this moment.
Recalling the pitiful look he put on in Dingxiang, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but shudder. It seems that Li Ji is not as innocent as he said. This guy is really hidden.
.
"Old minister, I have been pecked by geese all day long. It seems that I have to keep a distance from Li Ji." Changsun Wuji will not hate Li Chengqian because of Li Ji. Besides, this guy's character is really a problem.
For someone like him who can share blessings but not share adversities, no one else would feel at ease.
"That's not the case, it's just that we don't include him in the East Palace series."
