On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 554 Personnel Transfer Order

No one can deny Li Shimin's pride, even if he is only a ten-year-old boy now.

No one in Li Shimin's position in the original time and space can refuse the temptation of the throne.

After all, there were only two choices before him, either to mutiny and rise to power, or to be slaughtered, even if he was raised like a pig, it was a luxury.

Cui Che withdrew his surprised gaze, stroked Li Shimin's head and said:

"I know you have great ambitions, but Bishamon (Li Jiancheng) is far away in Jiangdu, and his life and death are uncertain. It is still unclear whether his bloodline will survive.

"Of course, brotherly harmony is good after all.

"Well, let's put the matter of inheriting the title on hold for the time being, and wait until we receive news from Bishamon in the future to make plans to avoid hurting your brotherhood."

Li Shimin was moved and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

Mrs. Dou on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. She raised four sons. The eldest son Li Jiancheng and the second son Li Shimin both showed extraordinary intelligence since childhood and were the most loved by her.

Previously, Li Shimin refused to resign, and Dou was really worried that the title would fall on his other two sons.

The third son, Li Xuanba, was frail and sickly all the time. Li Yuan and his wife had visited many people who met him, and they all said that his life was short. If he died young and had no heirs, who knew whether the imperial court would allow an heir?

One thing.

Naturally, Cui Che does not need to worry about this when he is in power, but who can know Cui Che's lifespan? With his status, no fortune teller dares to look at him and estimate his lifespan.

Cui Qiji, the eldest son of Prince Yan, did not have much friendship with the Li family.

Not to mention the fourth son Li Yuanji, who was ugly and disliked by the Dou family.

Cui Che comforted the family members left by Li Yuan one by one, including Dou Dan's wife Li.

Mrs. Li is the eldest sister of Li Xiuning and Li Shimin. She was widowed at a young age and cried bitterly.

Cui Che intended for her to remarry in the future, but it was not the time to talk about such things in the mourning hall.

He had previously threatened to avenge Li Yuan, which was not just talk, but the time was not now.

Now that the weather has entered winter, it will definitely be the middle of winter when the army reaches the Hexi Corridor. If it encounters a cold wave, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to the troops and horses.

When Cui Che left the Duke of Tang's mansion, he promised Dou, Li Shimin and others who sent him out:

"In the spring of next year, I will send troops to Longyou to take the head of Yin Shishi to sacrifice to Yue Weng!"

It's just that Cui Che will definitely not conquer Longyou personally. Zhangye County is too far away and too small to kill chickens with a bull's-eye. All he needs to do is send a general to lead a partial army.

He won't be beaten to death under Zhangye City again.

Cui Che returned to his temporary residence and called Pei Ji over.

While Li Yuan was away leading the army, Pei Ji, the eunuch of Renshou Palace, handled the government affairs of Qizhou on his behalf.

If Pei Ji was made prime minister, he might not be worthy of the position, but Cui Che could trust him with the government affairs of a state. At least Pei Ji did a good job after Li Yuan went on the expedition.

Pei Ji has made great achievements, and the materials from Renshou Palace solved Cui Che's urgent need.

Even Liu Wenjing was promoted to the governor of Shangzhou, and Pei Ji was placed in the position of the eunuch of Renshou Palace, which will inevitably make people resentful.

Pei Ji and Li Yuan have been close friends for many years, otherwise Li Yuan would not have approached him to discuss important matters.

Now that Li Yuan died suddenly, Pei Ji appeared in front of Cui Che and looked very sad.

After greeting Cui Che, Pei Ji covered her tears and said:

"I have known Duke Tang since they were young. Now that I know that he is in trouble, it breaks my heart and soul."

Cui Che also sighed, as if he and Li Yuan had equally deep feelings.

The two talked for a long time before getting down to business.

Cui Che said seriously:

"I am about to take charge of Jinyang. Qizhou is a transportation hub and cannot be entrusted to anyone other than trusted ministers.

"Although Xuanzhen (Pei Ji) is newly attached, he previously persuaded Duke Tang to change his banner and offered Renshou Palace to me. His loyalty is beyond words.

"As the governor of Qizhou, if you are not Xuanzhen, you are not qualified to entrust me with this important task. Please don't refuse."

Since there are no plans to send troops to Longyou in winter, and the Hanchuan battle has now been handed over to Qin Qiong, Cui Che will naturally go back to Jinyang to rest.

First, some soldiers can be reunited with their families.

It has been more than half a year since the troops were dispatched from Jinyang after the spring plowing. It is obvious to all that the homesickness among the troops is getting stronger and stronger.

Secondly, Cui Che has been away from Guandong for so long, so it's time to go back to avoid any changes at the rear.

Being awarded the position of governor of Qizhou by Cui Che greatly eased the sadness in Pei Ji's heart, and he burst into tears and said:

"The King has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. How dare you not do your best to repay the kindness of the King?"

After Pei Ji was sent away, Cui Che dictated and Changsun Wuji wrote a petition for Li Yuan to ask for a posthumous title from the Jinyang court.

Cui Che said:

"Li Yuan, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, understood the great righteousness and raised Qizhou to surrender.

"He has done a great job in collecting the counties in Longyou. He has been given the title of Grand Tutor, the governor of Qinzhou, and the commander-in-chief of the military affairs in Longyou.

"The ministers discussed the posthumous title for Duke Tang."

Xu Shiji joined the army in the reporter's office and was left under Qin Qiong's command by Cui Che. Compared with joining the army in the reporter's office in front of him, Xu Shiji's role could undoubtedly be better played by staying on the front line and serving as Qin Qiong's military adviser.

Cui Che has never doubted Qin Qiong's bravery and loyalty, but with Xu Shiji helping him, Cui Che can rest assured about the war in Hanchuan.

Changsun Wuji handed the polished memorial to Cui Che for inspection.

Cui Che nodded slightly after reading it, obviously very satisfied with Changsun Wuji's writing style.

He put down the memorial and said again:

"It is reported that Pei Ji, the eunuch of Renshou Palace, is the governor of Qizhou;

"Qiu He, the governor of Qinzhou, was the governor of Huazhou;

"Qinzhou Sima Gao Shilian was the governor of Bingzhou;

"Pei Le, the governor of Bingzhou, was transferred to the governor of Yongzhou;

"Mai Tiezhang, the acting governor of the state, will be the governor of Qinzhou and control all the military forces in Longyou. In the spring of next year, Mai Tiezhang will be the general manager of the march and lead the troops to conquer Zhangye again!"

"Make Wei Zheng the governor of Daizhou and lead the army of Daizhou and Shuozhou."

Changsun Wuji followed Cui Che's instructions and recorded them one by one. When he heard that his uncle Gao Shilian was the governor of Bingzhou, he couldn't help but feel happy. Of course he knew that this was Cui Che's intention so that his mother could reunite the family.

As for Qiu He's transfer to Huazhou, it was purely to make room for Mai Tiezhang.

Mai Tiezhang is Cui Che's favorite general and has been guarding Daizhou in the past few years. Since Cui Che is unwilling to personally conquer Zhangye, Qiu He, the governor of Qinzhou, has no military talent, so he naturally has to send his trusted generals to Qinzhou to rectify the army. horse.

And Wei Zheng, who was supervising the construction of the palace in Shuozhou, was the perfect candidate to succeed Mai Tiezhang.

With Mai Tiezhang as the governor of Longyou, and his adopted son Pei Le as the governor of Yongzhou, staying in Daxing, Cui Che could worry about his future and return to the court with peace of mind.

After checking the memorial written by Chang Sun Wuji, Cui Che said calmly:

"Send someone to Jinyang."

After being away from home for a long time, not only his soldiers, Cui Che also missed his wives, concubines, and grandchildren.
