Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

In front of the Taiji Palace, hundreds of officials chatted in twos and threes, waiting for the court.

At this time, someone shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qi has come down." ”

People all looked in the direction of the Suzaku Gate, and they saw Li You, the king of Qi, walking over accompanied by Yin Hongzhi.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Seeing Li You, the king of Qi, the ministers greeted him affectionately.

Li You smiled and nodded in response.

Gao Jingming was overjoyed when he saw Li You, this God of Wealth was not in Chang'an, and there was no new open source project in the household department, and he had long been looking forward to the return of His Royal Highness King Qi. He took three steps and two steps, ran towards Li You, and said, "Oh, Your Highness, you can come back." ”

He just wanted to say some more affectionate words to Li You, when someone shouted here: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are back." A large group of people surrounded them, and it turned out to be Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others. They tightly surrounded Li You and squeezed Gao Jingming aside.

Li You nodded towards Gao Jingming, and became lively with Cheng Yanjin and the others.

Wei Zheng, Eldest Sun Wuji and others all wanted to come forward to talk to Li You, but at the moment, this posture was not their turn at all.

Now, most of the ministers in the court have a good opinion of Li You, the court has made great changes in recent years, the northwest border has been stabilized, the welfare of officials has improved a lot, and the life of Chang'an City has become more colorful.

Recently, this prince has shined in the Western Regions, and as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, everyone feels uplifted.

These are not counted, Li You has a big advantage, that is, he is open-minded, he never takes the initiative to find other people's affairs, and those officials who have offended him, Li You basically did not bother with them.

In short, people look at this young prince, and the feeling in their hearts is admiration and closeness.

Those officials who had dealt with Li You and received favors really liked this prince even more, and they rushed over one after another, even if they couldn't squeeze into the small circle of Jin and the others, they all gathered around and greeted him.

It didn't take long for Li You to be surrounded by a large group of people.

Li Chengqian came from afar, and when he saw this scene, he also wanted to come over to greet him, but he was worried that his past would ruin the atmosphere there, so he smiled and watched from afar.

Li Ke and Li Tai are valuable, and there are always a few people around them, but compared with the hot situation around Li You, it is much more deserted.

The last time Li Ke survived in the Yongtongqu incident, he guessed who helped him at a critical moment, he and Quan Wanji analyzed for a long time, and thought that in the entire court, the person who was willing to help him and had this ability was probably this Qi King Li You.

This time, he was able to repair the Yongtong Canal, first of all, with the help of Li Chunfeng, and all Chang'an knew that Li Chunfeng was closest to Li You.

Therefore, regardless of whether the person who secretly helped him was Li You or not, he rushed to Li Li Chunfeng to help him, and the last time he saved himself in Tuyuhun, Li Ke also felt that he should express his gratitude to Li You.

Li Ke specially waited at the door, waiting for Li You to pass by.

At this time, the morning dynasty began, and everyone walked towards the main hall together.

Li You saw Li Ke looking at him at the door, and took the initiative to say, "Third brother." ”

Li Ke said: "Fifth brother, it's hard work. Thank you! ”

This didn't match the words, but Li You understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "It should be." After speaking, he walked into the main hall with Cheng Yanjin and others.

After everyone saluted, Li Shimin said: "Everyone, Aiqing, everyone already knows that Li You, the king of Qi, Hou Junji and others have now laid down the 10 countries of the Western Regions, included them in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and added nearly 500,000 people to my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" The ministers congratulated together.

Li Shimin said: "Everyone, Aiqing, I'm afraid you don't know, Li You, Hou Junji and others went to the Western Regions this time, and they only brought 10,000 Tang troops, except for some craftsmen with the army, they did not recruit a single people. At the cost of only 896 people (not counting the losses of Tuyuhun and other servant armies), 10 countries in the Western Regions were defeated.

In this campaign, the Tang army consumed grain, grass and other materials and military expenditures, far less than the property they captured. This kind of attitude is the standard for me to do things. ”

"It's amazing."

"It's incredible."

"Buzz", there was a burst of discussion in the main hall.

At this time, Gao Jingming stood up and said: "This time the troops have captured a huge amount, and after the proposal of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty has granted a part of it as a welfare. ”

"Thank you, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." The ministers were all excited and congratulated together.

This was Li You's idea. There have always been wars, and military attachés have been able to reap some benefits, such as the implementation of wartime Xinjin subsidies, as well as various military merit awards.

However, in addition to their hard work, civilian officials sometimes had to tighten their belts to support the war. Therefore, when they encounter war, they instinctively oppose it.

There are many wars in the future of the Tang Dynasty. In order to create a picture of unanimous support for the war, it is necessary for civilian officials to reap the benefits of the war.

As for saying that fighting a war is a waste of money for the people and money, it seems unreasonable to take out funds to distribute to civil and military officials. In fact, this has a great positive effect.

First of all, fighting a war requires huge sums of money. Anyway, it's already been spent so much, and a little more is nothing. However, it has won the unanimous support of civil and military officials, which is not something that can be bought by much money.

Secondly, the Tang Dynasty, as a large country, went to attack the surrounding small countries, as long as it operated well, not only would it not lose money, but it would also gain huge war benefits.

Sure enough, the military attaches were excited, and the civilian officials were also very happy. Everyone is looking forward to the fact that the imperial court will soon go to war with which country.

Li You now supports Li Chengqian, so such a good thing that wins the hearts of the people has pushed Li Chengqian to the front. However, the civil and military officials all knew what was going on, and they were secretly grateful to Li You one by one.

……

Since Li You has decided to support Li Chengqian, he must eliminate those major hidden dangers in history that affect his fate.

He took a large amount of money all day long to make friends everywhere, and installed a lot of eyeliner in the three religions and nine streams.

At this time, he was reporting to Li You, and he said: "Brother You, the juggler of Taichang Temple you mentioned, I saw it, he is indeed handsome, and ordinary women can't compare to him."
