The decree official came and read out the emperor's will.

"The Duke of Wei Li Jing was appointed as the governor of Shannan, and to control the military and political affairs of Shannan East and Shannan West." The envoy smiled and said to Li Jing, "Congratulations to Duke of Wei."

Li Jing had no expression of happiness on his face. After sending the messenger away, he was frowning.

"It's impossible to stay out of it." He sighed.

Hongfu Nu kneaded her husband's shoulders, "You have the name of the God of War, how could they ignore you?"

Li Jing sighed. If he had known this, he would have left the capital, just like Li Chao. It was not as troublesome as it is now. There are hundreds of imperial guards outside the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It is said to be a guard for safety, but it is actually an encirclement. He knew very well that the Duke of Wei's Mansion had been kidnapped by the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor issued several orders to enter and leave the court.

From the beginning of the Deputy Privy Councilor, to the Minister of War, to the current Shannan Jiedushi, he couldn't even think about it.

"The emperor just wants to borrow my name." Li Jing said to his wife. The emperor did not trust him, but he still wanted to borrow his reputation in the army. His old boss Li Xiaogong also came to talk to him, but Li Jing refused to come out.

But this time, he could no longer refuse.

The Supreme Emperor summoned several of his children and grandchildren over, and his son was granted official titles, and his grandson transferred him to the palace to serve as Qianniu. In fact, this is the hostage.

The governor of Shannan controls the two paths of Shannan and the south of Shannan and the west of Shannan. The two paths are located north of the Yangtze River, west of the Han River, south of Zhongnan Mountain in Guanzhong, south of Beiling in Henan, and east of Jiange in Sichuan.

Chuanba Mountains, Jingxiang area.

When the imperial court established its capital in Guanzhong Chang'an, Shannan area, like the Bashu area, was the most important core area of ​​Guanzhong and an important part of the integration of Guanzhong, Bashu and Shannan.

As the imperial court moved its capital to Hanjing, Shannan's status rose instead of decline, and it had become the center of the Tang Dynasty. Especially in Shandong, it was even more important and became the capital of the capital. The status of Shannan and Guanzhong was in a simultaneous manner, and now Guanzhong has become the Pingfan of Shannan.

At this time, Li Yuan had been considering choosing Li Jing as the governor of Shannan for a long time. Originally, he had another candidate, which was to let Li Xiaogong serve as the governor of Shannan. Li Xiaogong was the head coach who conquered half of the southeastern country in the early Tang Dynasty, and also served as Shannan Xingtai.

But Li Yuan has always been very cautious about Li Xiaogong and is not at ease to let him go back to Shannan again, especially after experiencing the betrayal of Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuan is now much more cautious.

Originally, Luo Yi was also a good candidate, but Li Yuan needed Luo Yi, a relatively reliable person, to stay in the capital.

Li Jing went to Shannan, because he was famous in the army, and because he followed Li Xiaogong from Jingxiang to Lingnan, Li Jing was the real person who made plans.

Another most important reason is that Li Jing did not participate in Li Shimin's camp during the Xuanwu Sect Incident.

"The Huai Army led by Li Sanlang is coming. Your Majesty wants you to repel him." Hong Fu said.

God of War Li Jing, God of War Li Chao.

Li Jing was late for success, but Li Chao was born with a military strategist. Both of them were famous military experts in the court today, but it was a matter of opinion that each person had different opinions. After all, they had never fought.

However, both of them are recognized as famous coaches. Li Chao comes to the west, and Li Yuan has not many people who can compete with Li Chao. Li Yuan chooses Li Jing to resist Li Chao, which is also the first choice.

"But Your Majesty doesn't really trust me." Li Jing shook his head and said that although the emperor appointed him as the governor of Shannan, he also appointed Liu Zhenghui as the deputy governor, and Li Gaoqian and Li Sixing as the military envoy of the Shandong Road Capital of Shannan and the military envoy of the Shannan West Road Capital. These three were all the heroes of Taiyuan Yuan that year.

After all, the Supreme Emperor still doesn't trust him. Li Jing is a little disdainful of the Supreme Emperor's behavior. He doubts people and does not doubt people. Since he wants to use it, he has to believe it, but he does not believe it at all and refuses to give power. He is just using his name as Li Jing. In the army, he can only be considered a person who gives advice at most.

Li Jing has been calculating these days.

After all the calculations, the Supreme Emperor will undoubtedly be defeated.

The situation became clearer and clearer. Although there were many officials and generals who submitted to the new dynasty, the most important ones did not surrender. Li Chao, Cheng Yaojin from Lianghuai, Yuchi Gong from Hebei, Li Ji from Hedong, Qin Qiong from Guanzhong, Su Dingfang from Hetao, and Guo Xiaoke from Hexi, these are all famous generals in the same field.

They are now following the imperial edict of the crown prince and refuse to accept the will of the Supreme Emperor.

Li Chao led the Huai army westward, while the others suppressed the Restoration Party locally. This situation was obvious. Not to mention that the emperor was still in the Western Regions and would come back at any time, and even the prince's Eastern Palace had not been captured.

"The Supreme Emperor will be defeated, and there are three reasons. One is your Majesty still there. Two is the Prince of the Eastern Palace. Three is the confidant of the emperor Li Chao and other emperors in the local area and no one can seize their power."

He sighed again.

The most fatal difference between this palace change and the Xuanwu Gate change is that in the last Xuanwu Gate change, Li Shimin directly controlled the emperor and the prince, and then controlled the center, using the emperor to command the world.

This time, the Supreme Emperor chose to take advantage of the emperor's expedition to attack the west. Although it caught people off guard, it failed to control the emperor, and even the prince who stayed in the prison and the center of the court were not controlled.

It was destined to lose at the beginning.

If the emperor fails to control the emperor, no matter how smooth the palace changes, they will have to fight against the emperor in the end. What's more, even the prince and the left-behind center cannot control it as soon as possible, so that the prince issued an edict to serve the king.

“No matter how lively it is, it is a farce.”

"What should you do? The children and grandchildren are all in the hands of the Supreme Emperor."

Li Jing was also helpless. Although he was called the God of War, in this capital, he was actually just a stranded dragon. "I can only go this time, let's watch it while walking." The Supreme Emperor even killed his grandson, and Li Jing did not dare to take it. After all, his children and grandsons were still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. If someone who could even kill his grandson would definitely not be ruthless when he killed someone else's grandson.

"I hope the emperor and Li Chao and others will enter Beijing soon and let the farce end soon."

Hongfu stopped in his hand, "Or why I'll go to the palace."

Li Jing turned his head and patted his wife on her hand.

"I know you are very skilled in martial arts, but the Supreme Emperor lives in the deep palace and has many guards around him. It is basically impossible to assassinate him. It is too risky and there is no need."

"I can give it a try."

"No, I don't want something to happen to you." Li Jing took his wife's hand and pulled her in front of him, "Promise me, you won't take any risk."

Hongfu looked at her husband's gray hair and beard, and finally sighed and agreed.

"Don't worry too much, I think this matter will end soon."

Get up, go to bathe and change into official clothes.

Li Jing took a carriage to the palace. Li Yuan was very happy to hear that Li Jing was willing to go to Shannan.

"You will not let me down, and I will not let you down."

Li Yuan laughed loudly, "I wrote an edict to grant Li Jing the title of Prince of Wu and Sikong of Jin!"

"Thank you!"

Li Jing received the orders and thanked him very casually, but he did not take the reward of Prince Wu seriously.

He received the order to thank him and his resignation was made.

He went to the Privy Council to get the order to transfer troops, then went to the Ministry of War to obtain the military talisman, and then went directly to the military camp in the suburbs.

Liu Zhenghui, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, Li Sixing, military commander of Shandong, and Li Gaoqian, military commander of Shanxi, had already brought a group of generals to wait for him there.

"Meet the Grand Marshal."

Li Jing dismounted and nodded to everyone, "Enter the camp and get promoted."

After entering the camp and getting promoted to the sect, after seeing the generals and school, Li Jing asked the drums to beat the soldiers again. Li Yuan drew 30,000 soldiers to him, but when he saw the soldiers on the school field, he could only sneer in his heart.
