Li Shimin was really unhappy, although this telegram was sent in the name of Shangshu Province, but he knew that it was actually sent by the eldest grandson Wuji.

The content of the telegram, although it only reported the daily work and what happened in the court, did not analyze and judge, and seemed to be very objective. But there is a meaning between the lines - Li You's strength is strong, and his style of acting is becoming more and more arbitrary, arrogant and domineering.

These hints and what happened in Wuwei and what happened in Taishan are all the same meaning, all reminding Li Shimin: Li You's strength is too strong, and it has begun to affect the overall situation of the government.

This trick is very powerful. For the rulers, such a situation will cause them to be jealous. But those who are jealous of the rulers will be suppressed, and most of them will have a miserable outcome.

These things are obvious, that is, someone wants to use Li Shimin's hand to deal with Li You.

However, most people, including the eldest grandson Wuji, don't really know Li Shimin.

Before the Tang Dynasty, many ancient periods were excessively feudal, because in a certain period of time and under a specific environment, it had its positive significance.

The emperor of the feudal system handed over his land and part of his power to his sons, and he hoped that his sons could guard the Quartet for him, and he still needed to rely on his sons to help him at critical moments.

This is something that anyone who is a father would like to do.

There is indeed a great disadvantage in the feudal system, that is because the sons of the rulers, everyone has selfish intentions, and after they have a certain amount of power, they will compare with each other, resulting in many contradictions. Ambitious sons will hope that they will be able to go further, which will eventually lead to the division of the country. Such a system is undesirable.

However, there have been exceptions throughout history, or from person to person at a certain time. For example, King Wen of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han were very confident and controlling, and their sons did keep to themselves and try their best to please him during their reign. As a result, father and son can work together.

Compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin's courage and talent are even better, and he is extremely conceited about his ability to control. In this case, he hopes that his sons will be as talented as possible, so that they can help him to manage one side and expand the territory for himself.

He now had five adult sons in the fiefdom, and they were all able to defend his side.

Li Ke helped Li Shimin manage the southeast, and Li You helped him manage the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the Northwest Dao, which he was very happy to see.

Among these sons who were separated from other places, Li Ke and Li You were the most capable, and Li Shimin knew their loyalty to Li Shimin very well, and also gave them full trust.

Especially Li You, who has a sense of the overall situation, attaches great importance to family and friendship, and respects him very much as a father, which Li Shimin is very satisfied with. Therefore, he granted Li You the privilege of holding the royal gold medal.

Li Shimin's trust in his sons, especially in Li You, is not something that others can provoke.

In fact, the content of the agreement signed between Li You and Pei Dilan this time is very clear to Li Shimin. Now, Li Shimin authorized Li Lizhen and Li You to independently establish a radio channel. Just when Li You and Pei Dilan reached an agreement, before the agreement was formally signed, the content of the entire agreement was submitted to Li Shimin for review.

The terms of the contents of these telegrams seem to have suffered from the Tang Dynasty on the surface. In fact, this involves extremely important interests in the future of the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, the Persian Empire and the Great Food Empire have always been old enemies, when the Persian Empire was strong, it brutally ruled and oppressed the people of the Great Food Country, and the strength of the Great Food Empire was gradually formed in the process of resisting the rule of the Persian Empire.

At this time, the Great Food Empire did not expect that relying on its own strength, it would be able to completely destroy the Persian Empire in the end.

Therefore, in this case, the Great Food Empire can cooperate with the Tang Dynasty and the Persia controlled by Hamid, and they will be very satisfied.

If they knew that they could eventually annex the entire Persian Empire by their own strength, they would never have made such a deal with Li You.

At this time, the Great Food Empire had suffered a major setback in the war with the Franks in the West, and they were eager to send reinforcements from the southern expeditionary army, and they also needed to be supported in terms of supplies and military equipment. The Tang Dynasty provided them with such favorable conditions under such circumstances, and they would naturally be sincerely grateful to the Tang Dynasty, so they were very willing to establish a friendly and good-neighborly partnership with the Tang Dynasty.

However, once this agreement was signed, the passage of the Great Food Empire's expansion to the southwest and southeast was completely blocked by the northwest region controlled by Li You, and the Persian region controlled by Hamid.

In this way, the entire South Asian continent and Southeast Asia will no longer be invaded by the Great Food Empire, and the Tang Dynasty can calmly launch a war of conquest against this vast region.

From this point of view, the little benefits paid by the Tang Dynasty are only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge benefits that can be obtained in the future.

In this matter, Li You's incomparably far-reaching and grand strategic vision made even Li Shimin feel impressed.

The real strategic intent hidden in this agreement is top secret, and the only people who know about it are Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, and Li You. This matter cannot be brought to the court for discussion at all.

The reason why Li You deliberately behaved arrogantly and caused controversy in the court was that this matter was first done for Pei Dilan to see, to prevent him from seeing the real intentions hidden behind it, and to make him trust Li You even more.

Li You and Li Chengqian, including Li Shimin, have been going to act in a play to see who is behind the scenes and making a fuss about Li You's affairs.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, after his long-term efforts, he has eliminated a large number of old-fashioned forces left over from the Sui Dynasty and the Wude Dynasty in the past, and basically eliminated the influence of the gate lord clan on the court. His power was greatly consolidated.

But he slowly discovered that the court began to produce new forces. The focus of this power is not expressed in the court, but at the local state, government, and even county level. The resolutions formed in the court were implemented at the local level, and they were often out of shape. This is the so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, with the central government having one set and the local government having another.

The difficulty of solving these problems is no less than that in the court, and even surpassing. Because in many places, Li Shimin can't see what those officials are doing behind their backs, and what the truth is when they report it, and these situations are very difficult to grasp.

Under these circumstances, Li Shimin's authority was actually greatly weakened.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the development of radio stations, and he hopes that if there are enough radio stations, it will be much easier to control local affairs. He had already thought of not only establishing radio liaison at all levels of government offices, but also appointing a large number of personnel and radio stations to the drivers of the hundred horses, and setting up local organs to supervise the local governments at all levels.

Li Shimin knows very well that the reason for this situation is that these disobedient local officials must have someone in the court to manipulate them. Li Shimin has also been secretly looking for the hidden mastermind behind this.

In response to Li You's Wuwei Incident, Taishan's Qizhou Incident, and the current attack on Li You, Li Shimin was not led by them to suspicion and jealousy of Li You, but instead saw another side of the matter - being able to use the local government to create such a problem for Li You shows that someone is controlling the local government.

The reason why Li Shimin cooperated with Li You to act was that he was also carefully observing the development of the situation to see who jumped out first, and who was the happiest in it? Judging from this, who is behind the scenes.

Today, Li Shimin is very angry and sad.

The saddest thing for him is that this matter actually points to the one he trusts the most, which can be said to be a close confidant-Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang is just the vanguard of Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin is now very worried, once Li You investigates and finds out that the incident in Wuwei and Qizhou is really related to the eldest grandson Wuji, it will be difficult to deal with the matter.

On this day, Li Shimin locked himself in the house alone, and no one was seen.

Northwest Palace.

Gao Jingming said with a sad face: "Your Highness, the minister is cooperating with you in acting, but those interests are really gone, the minister, the minister is sad." ”

In fact, in this quarrel and debate in the court, Li You and Li Chengqian made arrangements in advance, and they did not tell Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming the specific content, but only asked them to come out to oppose the agreement signed by Li You.

Although Fang Xuanling and the others didn't understand why they did this, they all cooperated out of trust in Li You's ability to handle international affairs.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were acting, but Gao Jingming was distressed by the loss of interest, and the tears really fell.

Li You smiled and said: "Lord Gao, you are an old Shanxi miser, and your eye sockets are too shallow." Think about it, after so many years, when have I ever made you suffer?

Let me tell you this, the little price paid by the imperial court now will be earned back tens of millions of times in the near future. ”

Gao Jingming was very happy, and he said, "That's good, that's good." However, do you have any cash? ”

There will be money in the future, it is better to be able to see the money now, which is Gao Jingming's philosophy.

Li You smiled: "Yes." ”

Gao Jingming said excitedly: "Where? ”

Li You was just about to tell him that the magpie had come with Li Chengqian's telegram. In the past few days, in order to act, Li Chengqian and Li You have fallen out, and no one will go to anyone. If you have something, you can contact us by telegram.

Li You finished reading Li Chengqian's telegram, and was just about to continue talking to Gao Jingming, when Xiao Wanyu personally sent Li Shimin's telegram.

After Li You finished reading it, his face was a little solemn, and he said to Gao Jingming: "Lord Gao, let's stop here today, and I will send someone to inform you in a few days." ”

Seeing this situation, Gao Jingming got up and said goodbye.

Li You took Li Shimin's telegram, sat on a chair, and fell into deep thought. 8)
