Chapter 1219 Share the benefits

As for the eight lieutenants, brothers Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chumo, taking two positions, this is also normal. After all, he is Li Xiang's brother-in-law. If he is not given these two positions, then Cheng Yaojin probably won't be happy either. .

The third position is Yuchi Baolin. This guy has been fighting with Li Xiang for many days. It is normal for him to have such a position.

The fourth position is Changsun Chong.

Although Changsun Chong currently has no military exploits to show for it, he has been very successful in governing Sichuan and Nanzhao. This is something that everyone can see, not to mention that his father is the chief minister of the imperial court.

The fifth position naturally belongs to Qin Huaiyu, who is also Li Xiang's best friend.

The remaining three positions are not occupied, which is also an opportunity for others.

When this news was announced to the entire Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty, many people were very happy, but many people were also dissatisfied.

Fang Yiai and Xiao Shougui are the two chief officials of General Tiance's Mansion. These people in Li Xiang's camp basically got their due positions.

As for Zhang Jiuli who was following Li Xiang, this guy himself was a guilty person, and Li Xiang released one of his relatives, which was also a reward for his efforts.

Although Li Shimin did not express any opinions and handed over all rights to Li Xiang, Li Shimin has been keeping an eye on Li Xiang. He thought that Li Xiang would find some outsiders to come in, so that everyone could be harmonious. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang was not alone No outsiders were found, and those who could enter Admiral Tiance's mansion were all his subordinates. As for those who had never done serious things before, you should pull them down if you want to get close to them now.

Regarding this issue, Li Chengqian also told Li Xiang that you can't just find your own cronies. If this is the case, those people outside will unite and eventually form a huge force. By then, Li Xiang will also be very Difficult to deal with them.

Why did Wu Xing Qi Wang fight against the imperial court before? It was because Li Shimin directly enfeoffed a group of new nobles during the enfeoffment. Although their status could not be shaken at that time, these new nobles also needed resources for growth, so the conflict between the two sides became obvious. In this case, they It is normal to confront Li Shimin.

Li Xiang also listened to Li Chengqian's persuasion, but after analyzing the current situation, Li Xiang believed that those people might cause trouble to him, but Li Xiang didn't care about the trouble they filled in and could help them at any time. Go back and do it.

Therefore, Li Shimin chose people who were all from his own camp and who were very close to Li Xiang. From now on, Admiral Tiance's Mansion would be like a small court, helping the entire Tang Dynasty in Li Xiang's palace. If there were some outsiders If you were inside, wouldn't it be unhappy to work every day? Was it to gain the power of the court just to make myself unhappy?

After settling these matters, Li Xiang started to visit every house in the capital according to the list in his mind. This was also to rank all the nobles in the capital.

The first person to come was naturally Cheng Yaojin's home. After all, this was the home of Li Xiang's father-in-law.

Cheng Yaojin has no problem at all with Li Xiang's arrangement. The most important thing is that he even has a position. Although it is only an honorary position, the old Cheng family has reached its peak at this moment.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin can have his current position. In addition to his own importance in the army, his two sons can be driven by Li Xiang, and his two daughters are Li Xiang's wives. Looking at other aristocratic families in the entire Tang Dynasty, can there be a family? Comparable?

Therefore, even if the other families are jealous, they can only watch helplessly from the sidelines to see who has left us without Cheng Yaojin, a treacherous and cunning guy. This guy has long seen the importance of Li Xiang.

At that time, when Li Xiang was not strong enough, Cheng Yaojin dared to put everything he had on Li Xiang. This is enough to show that he was discerning at the time, and he also had to face the anger from Li Shimin.

At that time, in order to get Cheng Luan to marry Li Xiang, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiang staged a big show in the Jinluan Palace, and then they fooled this matter. Of course, Li Shimin also acquiesced, otherwise, relying on the abilities of the two of them, This matter still can't be done.

"As for wine, my father-in-law should be less greedy and don't drink too much. He is no longer younger than before. My father-in-law has grown up, so it is better to drink in moderation."

While drinking at Cheng Yaojin's house, Li Xiang felt that he should give some advice. Cheng Yaojin's health has not been very good in the past two years. Although according to the trend of history, Cheng Yaojin should be a veteran of three dynasties, but drink less. There are still benefits.

"My uncle said, just talk to me from now on. You don't have to drink. I have to drink twice a day. Even my iron body can't stand it. Just take it."

Mrs. Cheng originally wanted to persuade Cheng Yaojin to stop drinking, but unfortunately this guy couldn't eat without wine. Li Xiang happened to talk about this matter today, so Mrs. Cheng naturally used this to prevent him from drinking. .

Cheng Yaojin watched eagerly as the wine glass was taken down. He usually loved his wife very much at home, so he listened to everything she said. Now that Li Xiang is still here, and the guests all say they don't want to drink anymore, could it be that he Do you want to drink it yourself?

"Then let's stop drinking. You are going south to fight this time. Can you take those two brats with you?"

When Cheng Yaojin said this, Mrs. Chen immediately frowned. She had already been arranged to go to Admiral Tiance's mansion. Our family should be quiet for a while. Even if there is a chance to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, it should be If we arrange it for other people, we can't let our family take all the good things, otherwise we will become the target of public criticism.

However, Cheng Yaojin always spoke openly. Even when Li Shimin was here, this guy was so careless. Of course, whether he was really like this or just a fool, I am afraid only Cheng Yaojin himself knew.

"For this time's southward strategy, my son-in-law has chosen a brother from the eldest son's family..."

As soon as Li Xiang said this, Cheng Yaojin understood what was going on. You are indeed Li Xiang's father-in-law, but the relationship between the eldest son's family and Li Xiang is also very close. They are the prince's maternal uncle's family.

Li Xiang is the grandson of Empress Changsun, so it is normal to take care of the Changsun family. If we talk about relatives, your two families are equally important. They are still old-fashioned, a little more important than the Cheng family. (End of chapter)
