Chapter 555                                                             

When Zhou Neng saw sweat beads on his forehead, he lowered his head and swept to Prince Li Guan from the corner of his eyes.

Prince, it’s time for you to come forward now!

Li Guanyou saw Zhou Neng asking for help.

He pondered for a moment, then stepped out and bowed to Li Jichao, saying, "Father, my son wants to recommend one!"

Li Ju didn't expect that Li Guan would suddenly stand up at this time.

Li Yu also didn't expect that, turned his head and looked at Li Guan curiously.

Li Ji asked: "Who is the prince going to recommend?"

Li Guan swallowed his saliva secretly, cheered up and said, "Shang Yan!"

Shang Yan is currently General Yang Wu.

He was originally a disciple of Li Guan, but later became Li Guan's martial artsman.

Once when hunting, Li Guan's war horse was suddenly frightened. At the critical moment, Shang Yan took action to save Li Guan.

It was precisely because of his achievements that he was named General Yangwu.

It can be said that Shang Yan is the confidant of Li Guan.

When Li Guan heard that the person recommended by him was Shang Yan, Li Ju sighed in his heart.

Shang Yan is a martial artist. Although he has the title of general, it was just that the late emperor gave him a false title in order to commend him for his timely rescue of the grandson.

He had never led the army or fought a war. It would be too much of a joke to let him command the 500,000 army!

Li Ju has been the prince for so many years, what don’t you understand?

To put it bluntly, the reason why Li Guan recommended Shang Yan to take over the 500,000 army was that he wanted the military power of the 500,000 army.

You, a prince, do you want so much military power?

Li Ju asked intentionally: "Who is Shang Yan?"

As soon as he said this, many generals in the court almost burst into laughter.

Li Guan's face turned red and white.

Didn’t the father’s intentionally humiliate himself when he said this?

He did not understand the mistake, and Li Ju was indeed deliberately humiliating him.

For Li Ji, he would rather let Li Yu take charge of his troops than let Li Guan take charge of his troops.

The prince is in charge of the army, which is a direct threat to the imperial power.

Li Ju did not look at Li Guan again, and he said softly to Li Yu: "Seventeenth Brother!"

"My brother is here!"

"You can rest for a few days in the capital, and then set out to the Kingdom of Saro after five days!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Li Yu intervened and bowed.

Seeing that Li Ju insisted on letting Li Yu lead the troops, Li Guan and Zhou Neng's faces were extremely ugly.

After the scattering, Li Yu and Tao Yuan walked out side by side.

On the way, Li Yu said: "I returned to Beijing yesterday and did not visit Duke Zhenguo. I hope Duke Zhenguo should not blame him."

"Your Highness has ruined the old minister."

Li Yu explained: "If I, a vassal king with heavy troops, have a close relationship with the ministers in the court, it will inevitably lead to a decent demographic!"

When Tao Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded secretly. It’s good! The King of Wu has indeed grown up a lot.

The two left the palace and took the same car.

Li Yu also specifically instructed the coachman to let him go slowly.

Inside the car.

Tao Yuanyou said, "I didn't expect that the prince actually wanted military power."

Li Yu said: "I returned to Beijing yesterday and I had a long conversation with His Majesty.

During this period, Your Majesty said something."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty said that if the prince is not a good weapon in a hundred years, I can replace him!"

Tao Yuan was shocked and his eyes widened a little.

Li Yu continued: "At that time, the prince was eavesdropping outside the door."

Tao Yuan suddenly realized.

"No wonder the prince suddenly wanted military power! It must be because of His Majesty's words that made the prince feel afraid."

To put it bluntly, the prince felt insecure, so he wanted military power and gave his position as a guarantee.

Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't understand why Your Majesty said this to me, is he testing me?"

Tao Yuan thought about it silently and said, "Of course there is this possibility! But it is also possible that His Majesty is sincere!"

"oh?"

Tao Yuan waved his hand to Li Yu, smiled indifferently, and said, "Your Highness, don't be excited first! People's hearts are always fickle, and Your Majesty is also human.

Even though Your Majesty was sincere at that time, who knew that your Majesty’s will change again in the future?”

Li Yu nodded in understanding.

Sometimes, he would get hot and make inexplicable decisions, but he would regret it shortly afterwards.

This mentality is a human nature.

"From now on, Your Highness should be more careful about the crown prince!"

Seeing that Li Yu was thinking, Tao Yuan said: "Even if Your Highness did not agree to Your Majesty at that time, Your Majesty has this intention. For the prince, Your Highness is a great threat to him!"

After a brief pause, he added: "Today's court is a living example!"

In the past, Li Guan, who was kind-hearted, suddenly became abnormal and began to covet the military power in Li Yu's hands, which is already very telling.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Duke Zhenguo reminded him in time!"

Suddenly he thought of something again, bowed to Tao Yuan and said, "There is something that I have to avenge the Duke of Zhenguo!"

Tao Yuan was startled by Li Yu's sudden actions and asked with confusion: "What is your Highness doing?"

Li Yu said: "In the Qinzhou officialdom, greed has become a trend. I almost dismissed all the officials of Qincheng Prefecture and the county prefecture, but no one was available for a while, so Jing Yu was activated. Please forgive me!"

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "What should I do? Why should Your Highness keep such a small matter in mind?"

Li Yu owed Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan said meaningfully: "Jing Yu is talented and outstanding in ability, and is indeed a rare talent! However, he is old-fashioned and does not know how to adapt. With his personality, he will hardly have a good end in this dynasty!"

Jing Yu can be said to be born at the wrong time.

When he entered the officialdom, all the civil and military officials of the court were all founding heroes.

Duke and marquis are as numerous as a cow. Which one can he offend?

Any powerful man can kill him with just one small finger.

Jing Yu's personality is extremely upright and tough. If he continues to be an official in the court, it will be a matter of time before he offends the powerful.

Li Yu heard this and asked, "Is the Duke of Zhenguo dismissed his official position actually protecting him?"

Tao Yuan waved his hand and said, "I am not as noble as Your Highness."

Although he appreciates Jing Yu's talent, he does not like Jing Yu's character very much.

He said seriously: "Your Highness wants to use Jing Yu, just use it, and don't worry about the empress!"

Then, Tao Yuan changed his tone and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder how my little girl is in Liangzhou?"

When Tao Xiying was mentioned, Li Yu's eyes were radiating.

He sighed: "Xiying... Miss Tao is not as good as a man, and she has managed the Prince of Wu's Mansion in an orderly manner. She can be called my virtuous person... right-hand man!"

He was embarrassed to say the word "女子官网", after all, the two have not yet married.

Li Yu was extremely satisfied with Tao Xiying, especially her financial management skills.

In the past, the books of the King of Wu Mansion were in a mess. Since Tao Xiying took over, everything has become orderly. The monthly income, expenditure and profit of the King of Wu Mansion are all clear at a glance.

Seeing that Li Yu mentioned Xiying, Li Yu became glorious and even his eyelashes were smiling, Tao Yuan felt very relieved.

At the beginning, Xiying insisted on going to Liangzhou, and this step was really the right one!
