Chapter 1479 Snow hidden

Li Shimin also knew clearly that Luo Yi insisted on pulling him to welcome the prince, but in fact he wanted to help him. He was in Linyi for six years, from the initial raid to the Lion City, to now occupying the entire Linyi Kingdom. He has been in the position of Linyi Strategic Envoy for six years.

In six years, I passed the eight exams.

I have a small exam every year and a big exam every three years, and I have done two jobs.

All the eight exams were excellent. He was originally going to be promoted to the fourth exams, but before the situation in Linyi was stable, he continued to do it.

But now Linyi has been completely stable. The imperial court has 24,000 prefecture troops stationed in Linyi, and the Kunlun fleet is stationed here, setting up counties, immigrants and settlements, and opening ports and sailings. Linyi is now firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

This time, Li Shimin entered the Beijing dynasty and would also be assessed by the Ministry of Personnel and others. After reporting on his duties, he may not return to Linyi.

To be honest, Li Shimin is actually not willing to leave Linyi Road. This land in the south has too much effort. After six years, he even added many scars. Now he has to give up like this, how can he be willing?

There is news that the court would change his appointment as Minister of War or as General of the Nanya Yiwei.

But Li Shimin didn't like it either the Minister of War or the General of the Nanya. It was boring for him to be an official in the capital.

But he also knew that he had some historical problems and the emperor could not let him keep Linyi for a long time.

He still hopes to serve outside, and Luo Yi is also very clear, so Luo Yi hopes to help him. Now the crown prince pacifies Jiangdong and has a great reputation. With the emperor's trust in the crown prince, if the crown prince can come forward and say a few words to Li Shimin and find him a good foreign position, the emperor probably will not reject it.

Luo Yi was talking, and he was indeed talking about Li Shimin.

"Now that Jiangdong is pacified, the south of the world is stable, and the north of Mobei is also very good. To be honest, it is Silla on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Islands in the east of the sea, and some barbarians in Yunnan, Qianzhong, and Xishan Mountain are not very honest and have not fully accepted the imperial court's policy of naturalization and rebirth. Many places in the Western Regions and south of Yunnan are still far from reach."

The prince nodded.

In Yunnan, Qianzhong was completely a place where the transformation was completely out of the world, but it was nominally subordinate to the Central Plains court. In the past ten years, the court has made great efforts to promote these places, fighting and pulling, garrisoning troops, building cities, building roads and immigrating. Finally, the results were pretty good, but only a few vertical lines were established. In those deep mountains and jungles, the barbarians were still very barbaric and were not willing to naturalize. It would probably take a long time to turn those places into control like Lingnan and other places.

"Although the wise decisions of a saint, the border areas are stable, we still have to have competent generals and capable officials." Luo Yi smiled and pointed at Li Shimin. "Erlang was in Linyi for six years. He was almost a new one for the court with his own strength, and he made great contributions. Now he is a top priority for two or eight exams. I heard that the Political Affairs Hall wanted to transfer him to the court to be the Minister of War, or to serve as a general of the Nanya. I thought it was too insignificant. The general of the Nanya did not fight, that was the one who drank tea, but the military generals' remittance organization and the relocation sequence. Erlang was still young, so he should give more efforts to the court and the saints. Qianzhong, Yunnan, Xishan, even Beiting, Anxi, Hezhong, Daxia, and Baekje all have great potential."

Jiawen nodded to Li Shimin with a smile.

"My father has praised Li Jingluo's ability many times."

The prince looked at the iron-armed commander, but he was actually wary of his heart. Although he was kind, he was not stupid under his father's sincere teachings. He knew very clearly what kind of history this Li Shimin had, and he also knew clearly that he was the uncle of his brother whom Concubine Li gave birth to Concubine Li.

Luo Zhewei, who was once the King of Wu, threatened his position as crown prince. Although the emperor had already divided the King of Wu and King of Jin into vassals before, they were nephews and uncles after all.

"Where does Li Jinglei want to go?" the prince asked with a smile.

"I want to do more things. The border areas can do more things than in the court. I am willing to do some practical things in Korea, Japan, or the Western Regions and the Southern Regions." Li Shimin said.

The prince nodded, "I have already recorded that. When I see the saint, I will tell the saint. Come and drink tea. I will use tea instead of wine. This cup of tea will toast Li Shuai to pacify Tiannan!"

Li Shimin did not give up when facing the prince's toast, so he picked up the teacup and drank it.

Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Xu Shiji and other commanders frowned slightly. Li Shimin was still a little too rude.

This guy has not become stable for six years in Linyi, and he still looks rebellious. He is so rude when facing the adult prince.

After drinking tea.

The prince did not go to Guangling City to rest, but changed the boat and continued northward. Li Shimin and Luo Yi followed behind.

In the cabin.

Qin Qiong was blunt to his son-in-law.

"Although this Li Shimin is a little capable, he is too arrogant and rude to His Highness. This person cannot be used more."

The prince smiled, "I heard that people with abilities always have a little temper."

"Your Highness, if you want to use one person, you must first tame one person. Using someone is like riding a horse. If a horse is not tamed, you cannot easily ride it, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"Then Prime Minister Qin thought he should have been seeking a foreign position for Li Shimin?"

"What was your highness originally planning?" Qin Qiong asked back.

"Gu originally thought that Li Shimin was indeed very capable. In six years, he completely destroyed the Linyi Kingdom and made Linyi as stable as a mountain. With his ability and experience, I think he could go to Japan or Korea."

Although Su Mu and Ma Zi of Japan and Jin Baijing of Silla are loyal to the court, if the court has the opportunity, of course, they will not miss the opportunity to annex the two countries. A great country will not have any warmth.

"Your Highness, you must not. Li Shimin is too rebellious. You must not let him go to Japan and Silla."

"Then let him stay in Beijing?"

Qin Qiong thought for a while, "I suggest that your highness should not talk to the saint about Li Shimin after returning to the capital. After the court appointed Li Shimin as the general of the Guard in the southern yamen, your highness will publicly report to the saint to seek a foreign position for him. I suggest that your highness recommend Li Shimin as the envoy of the Wei Zang, or the envoy of the Black Sea."

Weizangdao, the original land of the four Rus in the Tubo Weizang, is now divided into two towns, Wusi and Houzang, as well as the two counties of Lusie and Linzhi, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the court. Li Shimin went to Weizang. Even if he was named Xuanfu Envoy, he was one level higher than the ruler, but there was nothing to do there.

Not to mention the Black Sea Prosperity Envoy, which mainly consists of the Turkic Turks in Yehu's Duchy of Volga, and the Caucasus counties and states of Khasa. The two Turkic vassal states were actually completely autonomous and independent. When Li Shimin went there, he was only a bare Xuanshen.

"Your Highness, let Li Shimin go to Weizang or Heihai and last for eight or twelve years. If this person is tamed, then your Highness will transfer this person back and reuse him at that time, and he can be the prime minister and become the prime minister. But if he is tamed, he can be transferred to Wusi, Heihai, Caspian Sea, Hezhong, Daxia, Beiting, Mobei and other places for the rest of his life, and he will not be credited."
