Chapter 7 Taking the blame
Li Zhi's appointment to demote Wei Ting was quickly issued.
Wei Ting never thought that he would get such a result just because he was just a little bit of relying on his seniority and directly cut off his future.
You know, he was Taichang Qing, the third-rank Jiuqing, and he was only one step away from being promoted to the prime minister.
This is also the confidence he dares to provoke Li Yuanai head-on.
Li Zhi took a casual shot and photographed him in Xiangzhou to be the governor.
Xiangzhou is Lingnan, with poor mountains and rivers. Even if it is capable, it cannot play with flowers in places where dogs do not poop or birds do not lay eggs.
This time the demotion is equivalent to exile.
Wei Ting is already fifty-seven years old today. He has been struggling in Xiangzhou for several years, so he has no chance of promotion.
At the moment of receiving the order, Wei Ting felt regretful.
In fact, Li Yuanai himself also felt that Li Zhi had made a little heavier, but he did not stop him.
This is Li Zhi's nature. He is like a spring breeze for those he recognizes, and a kind elder who is kind. He regards others as a mustard and does not care about his life and death at all.
The only thing that Li Yuanai couldn't stand was that the thigh he was holding now was so good at pretending.
Obviously, he was ruthless, but Li Yuanai found that the subordinates looked at him with a little awe, as if it was his own idea to demote Wei Ting, and he was excluding dissidents.
God is pitiful.
Li Yuanai didn't take Wei Ting to heart at all. His noisy was just a barking dog that was dependent on his seniority.
The gap between the chief and deputy levels indicates the balance of victory or defeat from the beginning.
Even if Li Zhi doesn't take action, Li Yuanai is confident that he can kick Wei Ting out and let him do the hardest, most tiring and thankless work.
It was Li Zhi who looked at Wei Ting and thought of his own experience, so he took action with anger.
Why did the pot be directly on my head?
"Come and give up!"
Li Yuanai recruited Laiji, whom he planned to reuse.
Lai Ji stood up with a solemn look on his face, secretly glad that he had stood in the right position from the beginning, otherwise the evil star in front of him would be unhappy and his efforts over the years would be in vain.
He knew his situation well. On the surface, his ancestors were gorgeous, but he could rely on all the people he could kill, and he was alone in his career.
Just one demotion will be an unbearable fatal blow.
"The emperor is here, I wonder what the Shang king has to give?"
Lai Ji's expression and tone were obviously different from before.
Li Yuanai looked at him seriously and said, "Gu tells you that Wei Ting's affairs have nothing to do with Gu, do you believe it?"
"I believe it, of course! Wei Ting was demoted for his dereliction of duty. What does it have to do with the King of Shang?"
Lai Ji said righteously, with an expression of what you say.
“…”
Li Yuanai gave up tiredly. The more he was distorted, he became more and more unfair. He simply stopped talking and said directly: "Your Majesty has captured Liaodong and seized a batch of military rations in the city. You can temporarily postpone the transportation of food. Now there is a very serious problem. Liaodong has occupied Goguryeo for many years and the people are deceived. It will bring many adverse factors to us for transporting food and grass. I will write a book on Your Majesty and ask him to force all the people into the city to manage them in a unified manner. If you encounter Goguryeo or something on the way to transport grain, you must not be careless."
Since Li Zhi explained the current situation in Liaodong, Li Yuanai has been worried.
If the people of Liaodong are not in the Tang Dynasty, they are likely to help Goguryeo deal with the Tang Dynasty.
The regular army may not be afraid, but their food transport team must pay attention to it.
Goguryeo has always absorbed Chinese culture, and military strategies and tactics are no exception.
Hitting the food road is not a clever but extremely effective tactic, and it is impossible for Goguryeo to use it.
The Goguryeo soldiers knew the terrain of Liaodong very well, and were able to cover the people in the country to spread the news, which was definitely a nightmare for the grain transport team.
Even if Li Yuanai does not know about military affairs, he can see through this superficial truth by relying on the basic knowledge learned from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Therefore, even if the people of Liaodong are dissatisfied with the turmoil, they must be controlled.
************
Li Shimin, who received Li Yuanai's letter, is attacking Baiyan City.
The front line shouted and killed everyone. Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanai's letter and passed the letter in his hand to Changsun Wuji beside him. Cen Wenben smiled and said to the surroundings: "How? I have a good vision. You guys, they all underestimated my younger brother."
Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenben looked at the letters.
Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "It's still your Majesty's wise."
Li Shimin said: "You don't know. Once he heard him teasing Xiao Yizi and tell a story about losing rice when playing chess. He said that he put a grain of rice in the first grid, two grains in the second grid, four grains in the third grid, and so on. In the future, the rice grains placed in each grid will be twice the previous grid. The result does not need to be studied, but he has spoken about the multiples of the number. I feel strange. I find an opportunity to try it. What do you think? Li Chunfeng may not be able to match his numerical skills. He said before that he was useless to bet, but we were wrong. At least his ability to calculate money is the first-class."
"I dare not say anything else. The digital account book of the food and supplies was absolutely clean after his hands, and no one could fool him."
"In addition, although the Shang king is a man, he is very delicate and extremely responsible in his work. He is just lazy and ignores his job. He does not slap him or her. He must hand over the task to him before he can do it. Otherwise, he will go to the house..."
"You see, he knew the situation in Liaodong and immediately wrote a book to let us pay attention to the people in the country so as not to affect the grain team he arranged."
Cen Wenben said in admiration: "Your Majesty uses people to identify people, and there is no right in the world. The King of Shang is responsible for the food industry, so my subordinates are relieved."
In fact, when it comes to the candidates for the transportation envoy, the big guys in the temple trust Wei Ting more.
Although the entire canal was well-managed by Li Yuanai, he was young after all, so he was enough to give a deputy envoy a learning experience.
Wei Ting's father had experience in fighting in Liaodong. Wei Ting could understand the situation in Liaodong first through his father and had congenital advantages.
It was Li Shimin who opposed the opposition to appoint Li Yuanai as the official envoy.
At this moment, Li Yuanai took care of the logistics of food and grass in an orderly manner. Li Shimin also felt a light on his face and said, "Cen Aiqing, you write a reply. Tell the King of Shang that I have already guarded the people of Liaodong in Liaodong. Let him rest assured that with me on the front line, even if there are occasional small troops infiltrate, the number will not be large. I also arranged for Qi Heli to lead the Tielle Light Cavalry, who is the best at raiding, to travel to Yi Liaodong to protect the safety of the food route. Tell him that it is good to be cautious, but not to be too cautious."
Just as he was talking, a burst of cheers came from the front.
Li Shimin looked up and saw that the Tang army's banner had been planted in Baiyan City.
Baiyan City fell!
Li Shimin rode his horse and whipped it, pointing at Zhang Shigui and said, "General Zhang, you will immediately lead your troops to attack Anshi City, and I will arrive later."
Chapter completed!
