Chapter 1174 Li Shouren’s choice

To be honest, when Li Shouren followed Li Xiang to Fusang, he actually didn't do much yet. Most of the time he was busy with chores. If he left Fusang now, he wouldn't be able to make a big contribution. It was just a hard work at most. After returning to Chang'an City, his hard work was really not on the table.

Li Shouren is half of the royal family, so when he is practicing outside, he must get some merits. Only if he gets some merits that can be put on the table, he will be rewarded after returning to Chang'an City. Otherwise, it is equivalent to It was Bai who followed him out for a walk, and he didn't have to be laughed at by others after he returned.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Ding Kui also remembered it temporarily, so Li Xiang didn't ask Li Shouren, but it was the same if he asked Li Shouren on the spot. Everyone had been hanging out for such a long time, and it was better to say something directly than to hold it in his heart.

"Weichen has nothing to say. Weichen is willing to stay and assist Lord Ding."

After hearing Li Shouren's words, Li Xiang also nodded. Li Shouren is also a person with pursuits. After staying here for a year, the main thing is that Fusang does not cause trouble, so this credit must be kept in mind, although it is not as good as others. military exploits, but this kind of credit is the most important. It is this kind of credit that the civil servants of the imperial court value.

The military attaches need to conquer the city, but the civil servants need to govern the place. In this year and a half, Fusang doesn't know how many things it can provide to the court. As long as you can transport all these things to the Tang Dynasty, then your contribution will be great. No less than Ding Jiayong and the others.

Many generals in the imperial court looked down upon such a job, but Li Xiang did not have such an idea, because Li Xiang knew the difficulties of governing a place. It is easier to conquer a country than to sit on it. This sentence is not just a saying. If Li Xiang is allowed to govern the country, I'm afraid he will have to rely on loyal ministers, and the system will not be able to help.

After deciding these most important things, all that was left was to drink. However, Li Xiang found that among the four Fuso ministers, Taro Watanabe could be said to be the most frustrated.

Of course, Li Xiang understood what was going on, and this was also deliberately arranged by Li Xiang. Taro Watanabe was the first batch of people to surrender. If rewards were to be given based on merit, he would never be ranked last, at least not It should be around second and third.

But Li Xiang has never arranged anything for this guy. He just asked him to guard Fukuoka and Nagasaki. Now this guy has no other jobs and is the lowest among the four, especially Kato, who always comes to him. He ridiculed him in front of him, making Taro Watanabe's life very difficult.

There is a reason for Li Xiang to do this. At present, the four ministers of Fuso have no big problems at all. Although Oga Genzaburo and Kato Jiro are in a competitive relationship, it is only a work competition, and the relationship will not cause any problems. If it is too big, it will be detrimental to maintaining the balance of Fuso.

So Li Xiang thought of another way, which was to deliberately suppress Taro Watanabe and make him feel a gap. After today's banquet is over, Li Xiang would leave Taro Watanabe alone and give him some guidance. Taro Watanabe knew what to do next. He would definitely keep a close eye on the other three people. When there was some trouble with the other three people, his opportunity would come.

Of course, when Li Xiang encouraged Taro Watanabe, a young eunuch accidentally heard the conversation between the two, and the young eunuch accidentally told others these words, and the others successfully passed these words to the other three. To an adult's ears, this may sound like a Machiavellian strategy.

As long as the other three adults know the news, then in the process of doing things in the future, the three of them will not do anything too much. They will always think that there is a pair of eyes in the dark watching them all the time. If they do If it goes too far, His Highness will be informed of the news at any time.

At that time, Li Xiang's voice and appearance will appear in their heads, and there may be signs of punishing them. These people are likely to have a cold war out of thin air, and then they will not dare to do this thing.

When the banquet was over, Li Xiang left Taro Watanabe behind. Taro Watanabe himself was extremely disappointed and was about to follow these three guys out. Moreover, that idiot Kato Jiro drank too much again. His former At that time, the official position could not keep up with Taro Watanabe, but now he is riding on Taro Watanabe's neck. Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will ridicule him. Whenever Jiro Asada drinks too much, Taro Watanabe wants to find a place to hide.

"I know that you feel very aggrieved. You were obviously one of the first people to work for Datang and for me, but now your status is lower than a few of them. I also know that you are very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but you You should understand my king’s painstaking efforts.”

Li Xiang also drank a lot of wine at this moment, of course most of it was with Ding Kui and other Tang generals. As for the ministers of Fusang, judging from their sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, Li Xiang did not want to drink with them. mean.

Taro Watanabe knew that Li Xiang left him behind, so there must be something else. He thought that there would be some private things for him to deal with, but who knew that Li Xiang actually said such things.

Taro Watanabe is also an extremely smart man. At first he was not sure what Li Xiang meant, but soon he understood that His Highness was letting himself look at the three of them.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Taro Watanabe's face. On the surface, our official position is not as good as the three of you. You three can always give me a slap in the face, as if I am your little brother, but after After hearing His Highness's words, we will know our true identity, that is, we are a secret agent who can directly report back to His Highness.

"I understand. I will definitely arrange this matter and have my people keep an eye on these three people. If they have any disobedience, I will report it to you immediately."

Seeing that Taro Watanabe was so sensible, Li Xiang asked Princess Aiko to take out a token. This token is also the token of the East Palace. If anything happens, this guy can come with this token. The troops were mobilized in the military camp, and the soldiers mobilized were all soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't touch this token. If you use it arbitrarily, I cannot guarantee the safety of your relatives in Chang'an."

When the sign was handed into Taro Watanabe's hand, a warning came with it. (End of chapter)
