Chapter 158 Prince, what can I do
This buffer can also calm down Li Heng himself and think about how these heroes should arrange them.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were originally the mainstays of the Tang generals. The destruction of the rebels in Hebei this time proved their loyalty and righteousness. Therefore, Li Heng had already thought about these two people. Guo Ziyi still had to return to Shuofang to be his Shuofang Jiedushi, and was guarding against the Tubo people who were eyeing Hexi. Li Guangbi was going to Lingnan to guard against the Nanzhao people who were about to move recently.
With not many soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty, only by continuing to use these two golden signs can the potential enemies be more worried.
What caused Li Heng the most headache was how to arrange his good son Li Yong.
Throughout history, if a prince made such a great contribution, he must be allowed to return to the center of power as soon as possible. Even if he doesn't want him to be the emperor, it would be good to ask him to assist Li Yu, who will become the emperor in the future.
But Li Heng can always think of what Li Mi said to him during this period. In Li Mi's words, Li Wen is definitely a hero in troubled times, but if he has too much access to power, something uncontrollable may happen.
So Li Mi had already given his own advice to Li Xuan before the battle in Hebei Road was over, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the war had just ended and the Tang Dynasty's rule over many places was not very stable, and Li Xuan could continue to stay outside as a killer to control the situation.
In this process, Li Yu must be successfully the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and all officials in Chang'an City recognize him as the crown prince.
At that time, even if Li Yan returns to Chang'an and the prince's status is stable, he will naturally have to accept his position. Even if he makes great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he will only become a general under Li Yu in the future.
The reason why Li Heng was entangled was because he had always known that Li Yi's ability was definitely higher than Li Yu's. Even in terms of nature, Li Yi was more resolute and strong since childhood, while Li Yu was obviously much weaker.
In other words, Li Heng knew in his heart that Li Qing was the one who was more suitable for the emperor.
He supported Li Yu, not only Li Mi was disturbing the situation in the middle, but also an important reason, that Li Yu, as his eldest son, obviously took his father more seriously than Li Qing.
For example, after Chen Xuanli killed Yang Yuhuan at Mawei Post, Li Qing did make a contribution. Without his persuasion, he would probably not be determined to be emperor.
However, Li Heng felt very uncomfortable even when he recalled this time.
Although the situation was urgent at the beginning, Li Qing almost pointed at his nose and persuaded him. He seemed to have never regarded himself as his father at all, but Li Qing was more like a father who was disappointed.
Li Heng even thought afterwards that if he was really scared at that time and followed Li Longji to Shuzhong, maybe Li would ascend the throne himself in a hurry.
As for Li Yu, he followed him closely from beginning to end, and he did whatever he said, and his behavior was like a son who protected his father.
In terms of relationships, the stronger Li Yan is and the more he makes contributions, the more uneasy Li Heng can only make him feel. Li Yu is by his side, whether he is his own son or his own prince, he can feel relieved.
As an emperor, Li Heng certainly likes to feel at ease. In fact, sometimes he himself knows that some things, his good brother Li Mi is just an excuse for him. Many things he wants to do but is difficult to say, can be told from Li Mi that he can at least be more decent when he is an emperor.
So in the court the next day, Li Heng spoke in person.
"Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Li Qing made great contributions to suppress the rebellion. When Guo Ziyi was brought back to Chang'an, Li Guangbi immediately returned to Chang'an to reward him. As the governor of Hebei Road, Li Qing, the King of Jianning, rewarded 100 gold coins, stayed in Hebei Road to deal with the follow-up matters in the rebellion, and annihilated the remnants of Shi Siming!"
The news was delivered to Hebei Road a few days later. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who were in Youzhou, knew first, and then Li Yan, who still dared not move in Fanyang.
However, all this was expected by Li Neng. When he secretly fought for the position of Hebei Road Jiedu, he knew that once Li Heng agreed to this matter, it meant that Li Heng did not want his time bomb to be by his side.
Li Neng also knew that the emperor's father had planned to let him wipe the rebellious ass here, and he calmly set the position of crown prince in Chang'an City so that he could give up.
"Prince, we have done our best in Hebei Road and have lost many brothers. Why can't you even go back to Chang'an City? I heard that once we win in Hebei Road, the empress and prince of the Tang Dynasty will be settled!"
When Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and others saw the news, they were really anxious, especially Zhang Xun. After winning the battle, he had been in contact with the officials he had made friends with in Chang'an City. Recently, he learned a lot of trends in Chang'an City, but in his opinion, these trends were not good news for Li.
"Then do you think that I will be mine now that I have returned to Chang'an City, and this position of crown prince can be mine? You know, those who are with Your Majesty every day, but those civil servants and eunuchs who can't fight, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi and other military generals said I was good, is it useful?"
Li Qing said this lightly, and Zhang Xun was speechless.
Indeed, Li Yan shined on the battlefield in the past or two years, but he handed over some generals and soldiers, rather than people who could really speak nice things to the emperor every day in the court.
Even because Yu Chaoen was caught in Li Yong's hands, many eunuchs around Li Heng had no good impression of Li Yong.
Li Fuguo was killed indirectly through Li Qing, and Yu Chaoen was also average, which made many eunuchs with delicate thoughts notice some unexplained connections. Such connections made it impossible for eunuchs to have a good impression of Li Qing.
"But if the prince wasted another year or two here, Hebei Road would be fine and the prince had decided to waste his life with the prince's ability. Even I feel very sorry!"
Zhang Xun is a straightforward person, and he almost said directly that you should be the emperor. After hearing this, Li Li smiled and said, "What if the prince is settled? I have said a long time ago that since Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, there have been more princes, but how many princes can they really become emperors?"
