On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 554 Personnel Adjustment Order
No one can deny Li Shimin's pride, even if he is only a ten-year-old boy now.

No one was in the position of Li Shimin in the original time and space, and could refuse the temptation of the throne.

After all, there are only two choices in front of him, either to mutiny to the top, or to be slaughtered, even if he is raised like a pig, it is an extravagant hope.

Cui Che withdrew his surprised gaze, stroked Li Shimin's head, and said:
"I know you have a long-term ambition, but Bishamon (Li Jiancheng) is far away in Jiangdu, and his life and death are uncertain, and it is still unknown whether his blood will survive.

"Of course, brotherly harmony is good after all.

"Well, let's put the issue of inheriting the title on hold for now, and wait until we receive news from Bishamon in the future, so as not to hurt your brotherhood."

Li Shimin was moved and said:

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

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 intelligence different from ordinary people since they were young, and they were most loved by her.

Li Shimin's resignation was not accepted earlier, Dou was really worried that the title would fall to the other two sons.

The third son, Li Xuanba, is weak and often sick, and has always looked sick. Li Yuan and his wife have met many people who meet him, and they all say that he will not live a long life. Once he dies without an heir, who knows whether the court will allow him one thing.

Naturally, there is no need for Cui Che to have such worries when he is in power, but who knows Cui Che's lifespan, given his status, there is no fortune teller who dares to meet him now and speculate on his lifespan.

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

As for the fourth son Li Yuanji, let alone his ugly appearance, he was disgusted by Dou.

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

Mrs. Li is the eldest sister of Li Xiuning and Li Shimin. She was widowed at a young age and she cried like a pear blossom with rain.

Cui Che intends to let her remarry in the future, but in the mourning hall, it is not the time to talk about such things.

He threatened to avenge Li Yuan before, not just talking, but the time is not now.

Now that the weather has entered winter, it must be the middle of winter when the army reaches the Hexi Corridor. If it encounters a cold snap, it will definitely suffer a great loss.

When Cui Che left Tang Guogong's mansion, he promised Dou Shi, 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 the Yin Shishi to sacrifice to Yue Weng!"

It's just that Cui Che will definitely not go to Longyou personally, Zhangye County is too far away and too small to kill a chicken with a bull's knife, so he will send a general to lead a partial division to go out.

It would not be possible to be crushed to death under the city of Zhangye again.

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

When Li Yuan led the army abroad, Pei Ji, the supervisor of Renshou Palace, handled the government affairs of Qizhou on his behalf.

If Pei Ji was allowed to be prime minister, he might not be worthy of the position, but Cui Che could safely entrust the government affairs of a state. At least Pei Ji had done a good job after Li Yuan left for the expedition.

Pei Ji has made great contributions, and the supplies from Renshou Palace have solved Cui Che's urgent needs.

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

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

Now that Li Yuan died unexpectedly, Pei Ji who appeared in front of Cui Che seemed very sad.

After paying respects to Cui Che, Pei Ji hid tears and said:

"Your minister and Tang Gong had acquainted each other when they were young, and now knowing that he was killed, he is heartbroken."

Cui Che also sighed continuously, as if he and Li Yuan had the same deep feelings.

The two talked for a long time before getting to the point.

Cui Che said seriously:
"Gu is about to teach Jinyang, and Qizhou is a transportation hub, so you can't entrust it to non-confidant ministers.

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

"The governor of Qizhou, Fei Xuanzhen is not enough to entrust the important task, so please don't refuse."

Since there is no plan to send troops to Longyou in winter, and the battle in Hanchuan is now in the hands of Qin Qiong, Cui Che naturally wants to go back to Jinyang to rest.

One way, 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, and the homesickness in the army has become increasingly strong, which is obvious to all.

Secondly, since Cui Che has been away from Kanto for so long, it is time to go back, so as to avoid any accidents in the rear.

Being awarded the post of governor of Qizhou by Cui Che greatly eased the sadness in Pei Ji's heart. He said in tears:
"Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, so how dare Ji not do your best to repay His Majesty's kindness."

After Pei Ji was sent away, Cui Che dictated, Changsun Wuji wrote the letter, presented Li Yuan on behalf of Li Yuan, and asked the Jinyang court for his posthumous title.

Cui Che said:

"Li Yuan, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, deeply understood the righteousness, and raised Qizhou to belong to him.

"The collection of the counties in Longyou has done a great job, and the book will be given to the Taifu, the governor of Qinzhou, and the commander of the military in Longyou.

"Let the ministers seek posthumous titles for Tang Gongshang."

Xu Shiji was left under Qin Qiong's command by Cui Che. Compared with joining the army as a reporter in front of him, staying on the front line and serving as Qin Qiong's military staff will undoubtedly play Xu Shiji's role better.

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

Changsun Wuji handed over the embellished play sheet to Cui Che for inspection.
Cui Che nodded slightly after reading it, obviously quite satisfied with Changsun Wuji's writing style.

He put down the watch, and said:

"Pei Ji, the supervisor of Renshou Palace, is the governor of Qizhou;

"The governor of Qinzhou, Qiu He, is the governor of Huazhou;

"Qinzhou Sima Gao Shilian is the governor of Bingzhou;
"Pei Le, governor of Bingzhou, became governor of Yongzhou;
"Mai Tiezhang, the governor of Daizhou, will be the governor of Qinzhou, and he will control the military forces in Longyou. In the spring of next year, Mai Tiezhang will be the commander of the march, and lead the army to conscript Zhangye!"

"Take Wei Zheng as the governor of Dai Prefecture, and lead the military forces of Dai and Shuo Prefectures."

The eldest grandson 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 Cui Che did it on purpose so that his mother could reunite with 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 he has been guarding Daizhou for the past few years. Since Cui Che is unwilling to conquer Zhangye himself, but Qinzhou Governor Qiuhe has no military talent, he naturally has to send his trusted generals to Qinzhou to rectify the army. horse.

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

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

After checking a cover sheet written by Changsun Wuji, Cui Che said lightly:
"Send someone to Jinyang."

After being away from home for a long time, not only the soldiers under his command, Cui Che also missed his wife, concubine and grandson.
