Chapter 720 Everyone makes the best use of their talents

"I think Mr. Zhao is a little unhappy."

After Mr. Zhao went out, Cheng Chuliang said this. Although Mr. Zhao was working with them, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mr. Zhao was doing it for the benefit of the entire Tang Dynasty, and they were doing it for their own small group. Li Xiang kept saying that it was also for the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty, but when the critical moment came, we were still us.

"It's normal for Mr. Zhao to have different ideas than us. The things we do involve many different areas. Because we have mastered these areas, we can solve things by ourselves and do not need to report to the court. According to Lord Zhao, all our actions must be reported to the court."

Li Xiang made it clear what Mr. Zhao was thinking in one sentence. In fact, Li Xiang also thought that it was time for Mr. Zhao to return to the capital, but there must be someone from the imperial court. After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to let Mr. Zhao return to the capital. Mr. Zhao stays. If Mr. Zhao is allowed to go back, he will often bring back Mr. Ma and Mr. Wu, and those people are likely to disagree with Li Xiang and do all kinds of bullshit. It’s coming.

"These people in the imperial court have always been like this, and they all still want to restore the glory of the former civil servant group. Naturally, we are looked down upon by them. They even think that we are brainless, if we hadn't been winning outside. , I still don’t know what they will say about me, I always feel that the pen is stronger than the knife in our hands.”

Yuchi Baolin also came from a family of military generals. Although his father no longer leads troops, he used to not deal with these civil servants. There were always various conflicts between them. Now that he can leave the capital, Yuchi Baolin is I feel like the air is fresh, and when I don’t have to face these people, I feel more energetic about everything I do.

Li Xiang did not continue to say this. Most of Li Xiang's teams are military generals now, but Li Xiang understands that when he becomes king in the future, he will inevitably weaken the power of military generals and elevate the status of civilian officials in the court. .

Although Li Xiang hates this, he has to admit that educated people are indeed much better than these generals in governing the country. Everyone should have some of their own strengths, and generals should be on the battlefield.

"Okay, okay, don't say any more unnecessary words. We were just laughing at the joke and felt that the internal strife within the Western Turks was extremely beneficial to us. Should we forget about this now? If there is internal strife among us, If so, I'm afraid it's someone else's problem. The problem I just mentioned is settled like this. Don't mobilize too many soldiers between each other. Remove 1,500 soldiers from each place first. As for the remaining ones, slowly It’s coming.”

After Li Xiang did this, everyone understood that some generals in various places have power, but the number of troops mobilized cannot exceed 1,500. If it exceeds 1,500, it must be given to the Ministry of War. It would only take a memorial, which would give the court a chance to intervene.

Now, although Li Xiang has not poured water into his business and cannot insert needles, there are already signs of this. Li Shimin has tried it several times, but in the end he has not tried it, so there is no After all, Li Xiang didn't go too far by continuing to attack on this matter.

Although Li Xiang won the victory on the battlefield, in the final analysis it was Li Shimin who made the greatest contribution. History books will definitely praise Li Shimin's contribution the most. Even if Li Xiang led troops to fight outside, he would not be able to take away this credit.

"Let's just do this. Seeing that the time is almost up, Your Highness should pack up and return to the capital. The time for Nanzhao Kingdom is almost up."

When Cheng Chuliang heard what Yuchi Baolin said, he was naturally unhappy. Although it was a small matter for a man to have three wives and four concubines, Li Xiang was his brother-in-law now after all. Suddenly there was another princess from Nanzhao Kingdom. How could Cheng Chuliang endure this? But since this matter was a national policy, he had no way to object, not to mention that after marrying the princess of Nanzhao, Li Xiang's influence would continue to rise, so Cheng Chuliang had no reason to stop him.

What's more, this matter was settled by Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, especially since Li Chengqian wasted no time in settling this matter. If Li Xiang just refused, it might not work.

Seeing Cheng Chuliang go out without saying a word, Yuchi Baolin realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he still felt that Cheng Chuliang was a bit petty. You already have three concubines, plus your own eldest wife, Li Xiang. Bian is far behind compared to you.

"I'll leave the frontline matters to you. If you can't make up your mind about other matters, go to the royal city of Gaochang to find Xiao Shougui. I will explain it to him when I return."

When Li Xiang finished saying this, Yuchi Baolin couldn't believe it. Whether the matter here was left to him or to Cheng Chuliang, it would be reasonable, but why should it be left to Xiao Shougui?

"Your Highness, that is a member of the Lanling Xiao family..."

Yuchi Baolin felt that he needed to remind him, didn't Li Xiang want to kick out the wealthy families in the court? If Xiao Shougui is allowed to rise up, it will be equivalent to giving the Lanling Xiao family a leader of the next generation. Li Shimin finally kicked Xiao Yu out. Is Li Xiang going to give Xiao Shougui a chance?

"Didn't I say it earlier? No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he can be used by me, the entire Tang Dynasty and the people, then we can use him. Xiao Shougui's brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people. You people They are all generals or commanders, but when it comes to matters between the people or between the two countries, people like Mr. Zhao and Xiao Shougui are the best at it."

Li Xiang's words made Yuchi Baolin a little unconvinced, but if he thought about it carefully, what Li Xiang said was true. If they were really allowed to interfere in the affairs between the two countries, it would not be possible to get things done, but if they were brought in, If you go into battle to kill the enemy, then he is the most suitable.

Making the most of people's talents, this is what Li Xiang pursues. No matter what camp you are from, as long as you can bring us gains, as long as you can continue to expand Datang's territory, then you should be in a suitable position. Is this also one of the reasons why Li Xiang's small group can develop so fast?
