In Li Shimin's mind, Li Xiang might be able to control the direction of some court officials, but looking at the situation of these people at the moment, most of them have already stood over. Although some people did not bend down, these people did not have much status in the court.
Li Shimin was finally able to take a closer look at his eldest son. Li Xiang was outside and had no time to win over the court officials, so this job must be done by Li Chengqian. Originally, it was thought that Li Chengqian only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and there were even intentions to depose him. Now it seems that he has his abilities. Being in the position of crown prince, how could he be a fool?
"The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War should discuss it and send a few more candidates. We will decide tomorrow."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, several adults came out and took on this task.
But they also understood that this was a hot potato. If you were not from the same faction as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if they carried you up, you probably wouldn't dare to go.
The prince's youngest son can't even leave Chang'an City. Do you have that ability? Although Li Xiang is now in Mobei and seems to be indifferent to many things, he has already formed a team in Chang'an City. If you want to pick peaches in his territory, you have to ask these people if they are willing first.
The following matters were all insignificant, so Li Shimin handed them over to the prince. Li Chengqian was already proficient in this, and in less than an incense stick of time, all the matters were settled. Logically, Li Shimin should be happy that the successor he trained was so skilled in handling government affairs, and he could enjoy a peaceful life in the future.
But Li Shimin was not happy at all. He was still in his prime and wanted to take all the power into his own hands. He was oppressed by the major families in the early years. In recent years, he was finally able to issue orders. He did not expect that someone would come over his head again. How could he feel comfortable?
"Big brother is really amazing. He handles things with such a thundering method. I really admire him."
After the court was dismissed, the brothers met again outside the palace, and Li Tai's voice was gloomy.
"Second brother, you need to learn more, otherwise you won't be able to share the worries of the emperor in the future."
Li Chengqian was too lazy to argue with him and left after a few words. If he argued with these people, he would probably get angry to death. These people had all gone to various government offices, but from the latest feedback, they had not even gotten in, so there was no need to mention sharing the emperor's worries.
Seeing the Eastern Palace thriving, these people had various thoughts in their minds. Those who were not strong enough had already thought about surrendering, but some people still refused to give up and still felt that they could fight for it.
"Laojiu, why don't you go to the north?"
Li Tai thought for a while and said that if it was Prince of Jin Li Zhi who went there, Li Xiang would not dare to kill him.
"Second brother, please forgive me. I still want to live in Anshun for two years. Whoever wants to go there can go, but I don't want to go. Haven't you seen how cruel and ruthless my eldest brother is? If you really let me go, it will not just be a matter of breaking a leg."
Prince of Jin Li Zhi immediately declined. If it weren't for the morning court today, he would have wanted to go down and take a walk, at least to win over a few people, which would be much better than waiting to die in Chang'an City. But after seeing what Li Chengqian did, he really didn't have any such idea at all. If his own son ended up like that, what was this brother worth?
After hearing Li Tai's voice, the others hid far away. You want to challenge Li Xiang, but you don't have the ability, but you let us go over there. You think it was a few years ago, when you were about to become the prince, and it was normal for us to surround you. But now you can't even get close to the prince, and you want us to risk our lives for you. Isn't this nonsense?
Fang Xuanling looked at the palace gate from a distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know how to deal with the next few things. The conflicts between the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would become more and more frequent. If Fang Xuanling could not maintain a good balance, there would be no good result in the end.
Although Li Xiang was not in Chang'an City, he received a letter via carrier pigeon a few days later.
Li Xiang is not a soft-hearted person. If Li Jue really comes, it is fine for him to be a puppet honestly, but if he causes trouble everywhere, Li Xiang does not mind getting rid of him. My brothers fought for this country with their lives, and you, who are not my brothers, want to take advantage of it. Is it that easy in the world?
For Li Xiang, Li Jue was his blood brother, but this person did not help him at all. It was absolutely impossible for him to come to the north to take up a position. What's more, you have trained such a group of people. Who are they targeting?
While Li Xiang was thinking about the problem, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside. It should be Fang Yiai and Niu Jinda returning.
Li Xiang has now returned to his original Turkic territory. The cold in the north is unbearable. Although it is already spring, the temperature there is still minus ten degrees Celsius from time to time. So Li Xiang led his men south. The Xueyantuo territory has been almost cleared, so there is no need to stay there.
"Looking at the smiles on your two faces, you should be almost ready, right?"
More than a month ago, Li Xiang had completed the plan to build 146 military stations on the grassland. These military stations were distributed in various regions. The largest one could accommodate one or two thousand soldiers, and the smallest one could accommodate dozens of people.
This is to implement the strongest rule on the grassland. No matter how the original tribes paid tribute, now that you have these military stations, you must pay taxes regularly. If you don't pay taxes, don't expect to enjoy the policies of the court. Moreover, the soldiers in the military stations are not to be trifled with.
When any disturbance occurs in the surrounding area, the various military stations can communicate with each other and suppress the disturbance immediately after receiving the order. The soldiers in the military stations are on a three-year term and can choose to stay after three years to double their salary.
Of course, you can also choose to return to the mainland. This is a relatively normal thing. It all depends on each person's choice.
"I'm in charge of the left flank, and General Niu is in charge of the right. We've both returned after conducting inspections. We currently have the entire grassland under our control, and we report information every ten days on average."
Fang Yiai said as he brushed the snow off his body.
