No matter what era, the existence of vindicators is indispensable.

In order to reflect their own nobility, they usually look at things with colored eyes, as long as their own interests are not involved, they will stand on the moral high ground to look at everything.

The spread of rumors in Tibet is obviously a strategy of hostile countries.

But the defenders did not care about this, but took advantage of the situation to make their own stand and show their uprightness.

They reprimanded the imperial court for launching an unjust war, saying that the reason for the failure of the southern expedition was because the division was unknown, and if they did not repent and admit their mistakes, they would be punished by heaven.

This kind of person not only exists in the people, but also in the court.

It is also thanks to this that Li Longji, who lives in the palace, understands that the wrong decision of the Tang Dynasty has been known to the world.

Li Longji, who had nowhere to vent his anger, was so angry that he even moved his mind to block his speech.

It was a feat of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to open up his views and promote officials to participate in politics.

Later, Li Zhi had a docile personality, followed the example of his father in everything, and also inherited the system of admonition.

Until the Wuhou Dynasty, the arbitrary Wu Zetian naturally changed this style, and the official system began to exist in name only.

The next Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong, one stupid and one Zhongma, did not reopen the official system.

It was not until Li Longji ascended the throne that Yao Chong was promoted to prime minister.

Yao Chong proposed to Li Longji "ten things to say", including the article of opening up the way of speech, and Li Longji also reopened the system of admonishing officials.

Li Longji, like Li Shimin, is unconditionally tolerant of the counselor, and even if the counselor does not make the right question, he will not be held accountable.

But compared with Li Shimin, Li Longji is inferior to one or two after all.

In the face of the counselor's proposal, Li Shimin was able to make a very rational judgment and analysis, and if the counselor wanted to say what was right, he would listen, and if what he said was wrong, he would not blame or listen.

But Li Longji is different, he comes with his temperament. If he thinks your words are pertinent, he will listen to you, but if you are not good, or if he is in a bad mood, he will not listen.

The words of a few officials in the court today made him extremely uncomfortable.

As an emperor, Li Longji has an endless pursuit of military exploits, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a cool love.

He had never tried to fail, but suddenly suffered an unprecedented fiasco like a slap in the face, which made him extremely annoyed, and directly demoted Zhang Qiu and Qiong to civilians, and the generals of the Southern Expedition were also degraded one by one.

At the head of this rage, he was accused by the officials in the court, and learned that the prestige and prestige of the Tang Dynasty were seriously damaged.

That kind of frustration made Li Longji feel quite annoyed and angry, and even moved the idea that he shouldn't move.

"Damn Tian Shehan, it's not a stupid thing I did, how can I blame it? I also concealed this matter for the sake of the face of the court, and I talked back and forth, full of great truths, really I haven't read a book? ”

"Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher! If a monarch is a father and a son, there is such a thing to talk to his father! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Longji suddenly "puffed", "I don't have such an old son." ”

This was vented, and Li Longji was angry.

Gao Lishi, who was deaf to the side, also stood up at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with your body for the sake of a few pedantic literati, it's not worth it." ”

Li Longji now pays great attention to health preservation, and said: "What you said is reasonable, for the sake of a few fools, it's not worth it." ”

After a pause, he sighed again and said, "I knew that Zhang Qiu Jianqiong was so incompetent, I should have listened to Jingyuan in the first place, and I wouldn't have suffered such a big defeat." In this southern expedition, only Xian Yu Zhongtong and Wang Kezhao had outstanding records, and the others were simply stupid pigs. ”

Speaking of Pei Min, Li Longji's spirit suddenly shook and asked, "When will Jingyuan enter Beijing?" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty insisted on their own words, and none of them spoke to the point. This foreign matter has to be discussed with Jingyuan. ”

After the defeat of the Southern Expedition, Li Longji suddenly realized that in military affairs, Pei Min's opinion was pertinent.

Gao Lishi is well aware of such trivial matters, and said without hesitation: "Just today, when will it come, the old slave does not know. ”

Li Longji said: "In this way, you arrange for someone to wait outside the palace, and when Jingyuan arrives, you will directly invite him into the palace." I've been so angry that I haven't slept well these days, I'm a little tired, go to rest for a while, and wake me up again when Jing Yuan comes. ”

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "Let the old slave personally greet him." ”

"It's good!" Li Longji did not refuse, and went directly to the back room.

Colliers was waiting outside the palace.

Today's Gao Lishi is worth a hundred times, as Li Longji's most trusted cronies, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to offend him, even if he was a high prince, he was respectfully and respectfully called "Ah Weng", as for the low-level horses, they directly called him "Gao Ye".

Now that Gao Lishi is waiting outside the palace in person, the officials in the past are all surprised, and while they come forward to say hello, they are full of hesitation, thinking that who is it that can get a person like Gao Lishi to wait outside the palace?

Could it be Li Xian, King of Ning?

It seems that there is no one else except King Ning.

But King Ning's identity is special, and he himself also pays attention to Taoguang and obscurity, and will never enter the palace if he is not summoned.

Don't let Gao Lishi greet him outside the palace.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Pei Min's appearance solved this confusion.

It turned out that the famous Pei Guogong had entered Beijing......

The news spread, and the results were immediate, and Chang'an's uneasiness almost calmed down: With Pei Guogong here, just Nanzhao, why bother?

"Gao Nei Waiter!"

Pei Min also knows a lot about the movements of Gyeonggi and knows that Gao Lishi's power is getting heavier, but he has a good relationship with Gao Lishi, and he still calls as before.

"Pei Guogong!"

Colliers smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

Pei Min greeted: "The waiter is too polite, why do you need to greet him personally!" ”

Gao Lishi said: "I haven't seen you for many years, can you not come?" Please, Your Majesty has been waiting for the Duke for a long time. ”

All the way into the palace.

Gao Lishi, as always, revealed some things about Li Longji, and said: "The defeat of Nanzhao, Your Majesty has a big headache, and you have not been able to sleep peacefully these days. ”

Pei Min bowed his head and said: "As a minister, it is my duty to solve problems for the king, and it is my duty to do so. ”

Come to the South Smoke Hall of Xingqing Palace.

Before entering the temple, he heard the pleasant sound of the lute coming from the temple.

As soon as Gao Lishi heard it, he knew that it was Li Longji playing, and said, "Your Majesty has woken up, Guogong will wait for a while." ”

Gao Lishi stepped into the main hall with his front foot, and before he could report, Li Longji had already spoken first: "Just invite Jingyuan in, there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

Entering the hall, Pei Min greeted Li Longji.

Li Longji looked Pei Min up and down, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for many years, Jingyuan's demeanor and bearing are becoming more and more extraordinary, and they are about to catch up with me." ”

That's the big truth.

Pei Min glanced at Li Longji and muttered in his heart.
