As soon as Li Jiancheng said this, everyone's eyes gathered on Luo Shixin.
Even Li Shi Min couldn't help but look over.
As everyone knew, Li Shi Min and Li Jian Cheng were brothers, but their relationship was very subtle.
Although they seemed to be on good terms on the surface, everyone knew that there would definitely be a fierce battle between the two of them in the future.
Li Jiancheng was the heir to the throne and the future emperor of the Great Tang.
However, many people present did not think that he would be able to sit firmly on the throne in the future.
It was not that Li Jiancheng was not talented and was not fit to be an emperor.
On the contrary, Li Jiancheng was an outstanding person. He would be an outstanding crown prince in any dynasty. If he could ascend to the throne, he would definitely be a qualified emperor.
But this was where he was miserable. Although he was talented, he met someone who was even more talented than him. This person was Li Shiming.
Not only was Li Shimin slightly more talented than Li Jiancheng, but he had also gained far more military merits than Li Jiancheng ever since Li Yuan started his army.
Putting everything else aside, the three thousand cavalry at Tiger Cage Pass had defeated Dou Jiande, and Luoyang had defeated Wang Shichong. It was precisely because of these two great victories that the Great Tang had established its authority over the Central Plains.
Moreover, Li Shi Min was extremely good at winning people's hearts.
The generals who had conquered the Great Tang were all loyal to Li Shimin. In their eyes, Li Shimin was the future Emperor of the Great Tang.
Although Li Yuan had already greatly rewarded Li Shiming, it had reached the point where he could not be rewarded.
But was Li Shiming satisfied with this?
He was not satisfied with this at all, and neither were the soldiers under him.
Now that Li Jiancheng was trying to win Luo Shixin over in front of so many people, he didn't put Li Shiming in his eyes.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Luo Shixin raised his head and looked at Li Jiancheng.
"What are you saying, Your Highness? We are all His Majesty's subjects and should be working hard for His Majesty. As for Your Highness, I, Luo Shixin, am a rough person and it is not good to disturb Your Highness.”Luo Shixin said.
Li Jiancheng's expression did not change, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although Luo Shixin didn't directly refuse, this was also a way of telling Li Jiancheng that he wouldn't work for him.
Li Jiancheng chuckled, picked up a glass of wine, and said,""This victory at Mingshui is all thanks to everyone. I thank you on behalf of the people of the Great Tang.”
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp without spilling a drop. Everyone also raised their glasses and drank it all.
After finishing the glass of wine, Li Jiancheng left.
Because of Li Jiancheng's incident, everyone was no longer in the mood to continue drinking. They were all thinking about their own matters.
Luo Shixin raised his head and looked at Li Jiancheng's back as he left. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It was only the fifth year of Wude. There were still four years before the change of Xuanwu Sect.
Thinking about Li Jiancheng's future, Luo Shixin could not help but shake his head.
Poor Li Jiancheng. He would have been a qualified Crown Prince in any dynasty. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong dynasty and place. He just had to meet a freak like Li Shiming.
After Li Jiancheng left, Li Shiming walked over and sat down beside Luo Shixin.
"Fourth brother, because we were on the battlefield and we can't drink on the battlefield, second brother hasn't had a good drink with you. Tonight, we brothers must get drunk.”
This table was filled with Li Shiming's old generals. The originally dull atmosphere became lively again because of Li Shiming's arrival.
The banquet lasted until midnight. After the banquet ended, everyone went back to their homes and visited their mothers.
……
The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
After the banquet ended, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng returned to his Eastern Palace, accompanied by King Qi Li Yuanji.
"Big brother, that Luo Shixin really doesn't know how to appreciate favors. Big brother personally invited him, but he actually dared to reject big brother in front of so many people.”Li Yuanji said.
Li Jiancheng's face was also gloomy.
"Li Shi Min has received so much credit for the victory at Ming Shui, especially this Luo Shi Xin. Not only did he receive a great reward, but he was also adopted by my father as his adopted son. I also heard that my father intends to let Luo Shi Xin take the position of Golden Guard General and guard the Imperial City. Li Yuanji said.
Li Jiancheng's expression changed.
What was the Great General of the Golden Guards?
This was the commander of the Golden Guards, the most elite force in the Great Tang. He faced the Imperial City and received orders from the current Emperor. This was one of the most important positions.
Luo Shixin was also Li Shiming's subordinate. If Luo Shixin were to sit in this position, it would be like a sharp knife stabbing into Li Jiancheng's heart.
"Are you sure about this?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Big brother, you should know where this little brother's information came from. It shouldn't be false." Li Yuanji nodded.”
Li Jiancheng nodded. He had already guessed where Li Yuanji's information came from.
Ever since Lady Dou passed away, Li Yuan had taken in two new concubines, Consort Yin De and Zhang Jie Yu. They were Li Yuan's two most favored concubines.
Consort Yin De was even more favored and trusted. For so many years, Li Yuanji and Consort Yin De's relationship had been unclear. Li Jiancheng knew about their relationship, so he believed Li Yuanji's words.
"We absolutely can't let Luo Shixin sit on the position of Golden Guard Great General.”Li Jiancheng said.
"Does big brother already have a countermeasure in mind?”
"That's right, and I've already thought of a way to deal with Luo Shixin."”
