Prince Qin's mansion.
"Your Highness, how was the result of this trip? Is that young genius willing to join our Heavenly Strategy General Estate?”
As soon as Li Shimin returned to the Imperial Residence, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the other generals surrounded him.
After all, that youth's prestige was unparalleled. It was related to the outcome of the battle between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince. There was no reason for them not to care.
"Strange, it's really strange ~~"
Li Shi Min didn't answer. He sat down and muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
The subordinates on his left and right looked at each other curiously.
"Your Highness, what's so strange about it? Did Li Lang join the Eastern Palace?”The impatient Yuchi Gong asked impatiently.
Li Shi Min took a sip of tea and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then, he recounted everything that had happened in Li Zhao's manor, and how Li Zhao had rejected him and the Crown Prince at the same time.
There was complete silence.
The heroes of King Qin's Mansion widened their eyes as if they had heard some unbelievable story. They were all shocked and confused.
They had originally thought that although Li Shimin had failed to invite Li Zhao to the Village of Zhuzi, he had left a good impression on the young genius. It was highly possible that the young man would be under the command of King Qin's manor.
The result was not only shocking, but also puzzling.
That young man did not rely on the King of Qin or the Crown Prince!
What was he trying to do?
Since he chose to leave the mountain and become an official in the court, he offended the Crown Prince and the King of Qin at the same time. What was he thinking?
After a deathly silence, King Qin's Mansion exploded with all kinds of strange and puzzling discussions.
"This king originally thought that he was just a young genius with a somewhat arrogant temperament. I didn't expect that his shrewdness was actually so unfathomable. Li Zhao, Li Zhao, what exactly do you want to do?”
Li Shi Min muttered to himself. The confusion and curiosity on his face grew stronger and stronger.
……
Imperial Palace, Hanfeng Palace.
Li Yuan was still immersed in the joy of inviting a pillar to support the Great Tang. He was in a rare mood and even raised his brush to practice his calligraphy.
"Your Majesty, this Li Zhao is indeed a genius. It's just that I think that if Your Majesty painstakingly invited him out of the mountain and if he is roped in by the Crown Prince and the King of Qin, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Pei Ji, the old official beside him, reminded him in a low voice with a solemn expression.
Bada!
Li Yuan's body shook, and his hand trembled. The ink brush in his hand fell out of his hand.
"I only thought that this Li Zhao was a peerless genius and could be a pillar of support for the Great Tang, so I invited him out of the mountain. I was really careless. This is going to be a little tricky…"
Li Yuan hit the table, feeling so remorseful that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In his eagerness to seek talents, he had forgotten that the civil and military officials of the Great Tang had long since been divided up by his two sons. Only a few people could stay out of the factional strife.
Under his efforts, the power of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin was still at a considerable level. Neither side dared to overstep their boundaries.
But now, Li Zhao had appeared.
With the prestige of Zi Ze Fu, whether he joined the Eastern Palace or the Qin Imperial Residence, he would completely break the balance of power in the court.
At that time, the side that obtained Li Zhao would do something out of line, it was really unpredictable.
Just as Li Yuan was feeling regretful, Xiao Yu rushed over to Hanfeng Palace excitedly. He did not even care about his manners as he jogged all the way and shouted,"Your Majesty, what a pleasant surprise!”
"What joy?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, just now, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin personally paid a visit to Li Lang. They clearly wanted to rope him in, but Li Lang flatly refused, claiming that he only fought for the Great Tang!”
Xiao Yu was overjoyed and said excitedly.
"What is it? What did you say?"
Li Yuan was overjoyed. His anxious and self-blaming expression was instantly replaced by endless ecstasy, as if he could not believe his ears.
"Your Majesty, that Li Lang did not rely on the Crown Prince or the King of Qin!”Xiao Yu repeated excitedly.
Li Yuan jumped up. This unexpected surprise made him so excited that his emotions surged. For a moment, he was at a loss, and tears welled up in his eyes.
That young prodigy had actually rejected the Crown Prince and the King of Qin's invitation, choosing to be loyal to the Great Tang and stay out of the factional strife!
This was the result that Li Yuan dreamed of.
If all the officials in the court could be like Li Zhao, would he still be troubled by the factional strife between his two sons?
" I didn't expect that out of all the civil officials and generals in the court, not many could match up to a young man from the countryside. I didn't expect that the heavens would bestow such an extraordinary person to me, Li Yuan. The heavens are truly blessing the Great Tang…"
Li Yuan clicked his tongue and sighed.
The few old officials in the hall were also extremely pleasantly surprised, looking at Li Zhao in a new light.
"Your Majesty, it is truly Your Majesty's blessing that Li Lang did not participate in the factional strife. This old subject thinks that Your Majesty should take advantage of the situation to support this Li Lang. Perhaps he can balance the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.”
Pei Ji was quite resourceful and immediately suggested to Li Yuan.
" Yes!" Li Yuan nodded heavily and said happily," Prepare the decree. Tomorrow, in the court, I will confer Li Zhao the title of Champion Marquis and General of Shence!"”
