Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 145 Rejecting Li Shimin

"Are you Xue Rengui?" Li Shimin rushed to Zhang Shigui and Xue Rengui in a hurry, and asked immediately.

Zhang Shigui immediately dragged Xue Rengui to bow down to Li Shimin, just about to say something, but Li Shimin waved his hand directly, "Duke Xun, I'll talk about your business later."

Zhang Shigui was dazed, he had not seen Li Shimin just now when he handed over the order, and now he wanted to mention the frontline negotiations when he saw Li Shimin, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would not give him a chance to speak at all.

Seeing Li Shimin staring at Xue Rengui closely, looking like he was afraid that he would run away, Zhang Shigui was speechless.

At the same time, he was also curious about what it was about Xue Rengui that attracted the Crown Prince and His Majesty to pay so much attention to him. He was just good at martial arts and archery, but there was no need to attach such importance to him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I, I am Xue Rengui." Xue Rengui looked nervous, and under the powerful aura of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, he couldn't help stuttering no matter how daring he was.

Li Shimin got a satisfactory answer, and with a look of excitement, he stepped forward to help Xue Rengui up, "Get up and talk, you are really easy for me to find, I didn't expect you to be here."

After looking carefully, Li Shimin didn't see anything special about Xue Rengui, but when he thought about Li Fu's words, if he wanted to destroy Goguryeo in the future, Xue Rengui was the best choice.

Li Shimin has a deep obsession with Goguryeo, and now he can find Xue Rengui who can destroy Goguryeo, how can he not be excited.

"Tell me, what position do you hold in the army now?" Li Shimin asked straight away, Zhang Shigui's eyes widened, why is this question exactly the same as the prince asked just now?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the last general is now serving as the commander of the logistics personnel in the army." Xue Rengui still answered honestly.

"Boss leader?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Why do you want to be a gang leader? In this way, when the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Yingying return to court, I will ask the Tang Sect to transfer you to the army of Youwuwei. Start from Lushuai!"

In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, there were five people in a group, ten groups in a team, two team leaders, two teams as a brigade, and two brigade commanders.

The promotion of Xue Rengui from the five-man team leader of the supply camp to the one-hundred-man brigade commander of the Youwuwei Army is already considered a great promotion.

Zhang Shigui's eyes almost popped out, he really didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor would do this for a gang leader.

Being the chief guard of the Eastern Palace and the brigade commander of the Youwuwei army, this was unimaginable in the past!
Because whether it is the chief guard of the Eastern Palace or the brigade commander of the Youwuwei Army, it is not something that ordinary people can be. This span is really unimaginable for Zhang Shigui.

Li Shimin also thinks so, so he has already prepared for Xue Rengui to be grateful to him, kowtow to thank him, and then he can carefully mediate and let him destroy Goguryeo for himself.

But Li Shimin was destined to be disappointed. Xue Rengui came up directly and poured cold water on Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but the last general is now the chief guard of the Prince's East Palace, so..."

What?Prince?Since when did you become the chief guard of the Prince's East Palace?Li Shimin frowned and understood instantly.

I was cut off by the prince!Li Shimin subconsciously looked at Li Junxian, he wanted a reasonable explanation.

Li Junxian was stunned, how could he know what was going on, didn't Zhang Shigui and Xue Rengui just came back from the front line, why did they get involved with the crown prince?
Li Shimin didn't wait for an answer, and coaxed Xue Rengui directly and said: "If you want to come to the Youwuwei army, I can mention it to the prince, and he should be fine!"

"In addition, I can promote your official title to the fifth-rank general..." Li Shimin began to seduce Xue Rengui.

Hiss... Zhang Shigui and Li Junxian both gasped when they heard this. When did it become so easy to promise a military position in the Tang Dynasty? This promotion speed is too fast.

From the gang leader to the brigade commander, and then to the fifth rank Zhonglang general, His Majesty spent all his money to attract Xue Rengui!

You must know that Xue Rengui didn't even have a serious military achievement, so he was directly promoted to this level, which is really incredible.

Zhang Shigui and Li Junxian are also veterans in the army, and it has not been a day or two for Li Shimin to follow him. They have never seen Li Shimin promote someone so much, and today they have learned a lot.

In their view, facing such a temptation, anyone would agree to it.

So Zhang Shigui quickly winked at Xue Rengui and asked him to agree quickly. After all, Li Shimin's promise definitely exceeded the prince's promise. There was no comparison between the two!
It's just that Xue Rengui unexpectedly refused, "Your Majesty, the last general has promised the crown prince, please forgive me!"

This... Li Shimin was speechless. He didn't expect that he promised to be like this, but he was rejected!
However, Li Shimin gained a deep understanding of Xue Rengui's disposition in this way.

A person who is not arrogant or impetuous, and keeps his word, is indeed a person who can achieve great things. No wonder he will be able to destroy Goguryeo in the future and become the No.1 of the second generation of the Tang Dynasty!
"Forget it." Li Shimin still has the demeanor he should have, "Since that's the case, I won't force it, just follow the prince and do it well."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned and left. The moment he turned around, he gave Li Junxian a hard look, and Li Junxian hurriedly followed Li Shimin back to the palace in despair.

Zhang Shigui and others walked away, went up and kicked Xue Rengui's ass, "You really have eaten too much and made your brain stupid!"

"The fifth-rank Zhonglang just rejected you like this. Are you crazy? That's His Majesty. Can the crown prince compare?"

"Hey, what can I say about you, I don't know that you have such good shit luck there, and I don't know how to cherish it, you, you, I am so mad at you, get out of here, don't follow me, just come when you look at me gas!"

Having said that, Zhang Shigui hurried to chase after Li Shimin, he still has some things to report to Li Shimin, so don't waste this opportunity.

Xue Rengui's head was buzzing, and he himself was also confused, but anyone who encountered a situation like today would also be confused.

First I met His Highness the Crown Prince, and then I met His Majesty the Emperor, all in order to win me over, promising high officials and rich salary. In the past, it was like a dream.

But thinking that he will be able to go to the East Palace tomorrow and serve as the prince's chief bodyguard, Xue Rengui is full of confidence in his future.

As for rejecting Li Shimin's solicitation, Xue Rengui didn't regret it. His mother said that one should be a person based on faith.

Since he had already agreed to Li Fu, he couldn't agree to Li Shimin again, otherwise where would the faith come from?How can I behave in an upright manner in the future?

I believe Xue Rengui's old lady, if she knew what she said made her son reject Li Shimin's solicitation, she would be so angry that she would slap him a lot!
