When Wang Mu returned to Bianjing, Li Jing had already left the Beijing Division, accompanied by the imperial concubine Chai Erniang, the imperial concubine Liang Hongyu, and the emperor's eldest son, Li Dingbei, the king of Qin.

"Father." Wang Mu returned to the mansion with a happy face, Wang Pu was wearing a brocade robe, lying on the recliner, enjoying the spring sunshine, looking extraordinarily comfortable, seeing Wang Mu coming, that is, pointing to the side of the recliner, let his son sit down.

"What, Your Majesty asked you to go back to Beijing, and you are happy?" Wang Pu glanced at his son lightly and said: "How many times have you said that you should meditate on every major event, Your Majesty chose Zhang Zeduan instead of you because you were too careful. ”

"Got it." Wang Mu hurriedly said. learned from Wang Pu's appearance, and leaned back on the recliner, and the whole person became much more relaxed.

"Do you know what His Majesty is asking you to return to Beijing this time?" Wang Pu asked.

"The child heard that His Majesty is going to use troops against Goryeo, but he just wants to send someone to Goryeo to contact Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, to see if he can get Wang Kai's support and get some food." Wang Mu hurriedly said: "The child has heard about this matter on the road, and His Majesty is ready to use soldiers." ”

"Hehe, what you said is just one aspect, let you come back, the main thing is to prepare for you to enter the political hall, even if you are not a scholar, but at least it is a walk." Wang Pu smiled: "The old man is already old, at the beginning of the year, Zheng Juzhong died, this old guy, greedy for power for many years, sheltering the Zheng family for many years, this time he is finally dead, after he died, the next is the turn of the old man, although His Majesty did not let the old man tell the old man, but people have to know each other, the old man was just a teacher, trusted by His Majesty, ranked above the cabinet, and his granddaughter became the imperial concubine, giving birth to children for the royal family, extending the heirs, and now it is time to abdicate and make way for the virtuous." ”

"Father, Your Majesty still misses the old love very much." Wang Mu was very happy when he heard this, as a civil official, who doesn't want to be a member of the political hall, that is the pinnacle of civil officials, but thinking of all this is because of his father's old age, Wang Mu is extremely complicated, and he doesn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty is very nostalgic for the old feelings, but we can't be like this as courtiers, the old man is already old, I'm afraid there are no more years to live, while Your Majesty still misses the old feelings, I will push you up and continue the glory of my royal family." Wang Pu saw it very clearly, as long as he didn't want to retreat, Li Jing would never let him retreat, just like Zheng Juzhong, the trees on the grave were several zhang high, and they were still in the political hall, and his old eyes were dizzy, Li Jing didn't let him leave, he was a monarch and minister, and he could come if he wanted to, but Wang Pu was very honest, and when the holy family was always used up, he always had to leave something for future generations.

"The child knows." Wang Mu nodded, he entered the political affairs hall by himself, I am afraid that his status is still under Cao Jing, and his words have no weight at all, but the political affairs hall is the political affairs hall, this is the pinnacle of Wenchen, and it is better to enter the boiling information than to be a big man outside.

"When you go to Goryeo this time, you must be careful, whether it is Li Ziqian, or Tuo Junjing, or even Miaoqing and Wang Kai, it is not necessarily easy to deal with, you are mainly going to test this time, to make an attitude, or to see the movements in Goryeo, and to prepare for the army to attack Goryeo. We must not act recklessly, let alone change our minds on the fly. Wang Pu looked at his son with some worry, compared with his old treacherous and cunning, Wang Mu was a little anxious for quick success, and it was an established policy to unite Wang Kai, Wang Pu was worried that Wang Mu would suddenly change Li Jing's policy and unite Li Ziqian.

"Father, although Li Ziqian did not claim the title of king, but imprisoned the king, obviously he had the intention of being the king, but he was worried about the reaction of the Goryeo people, at this time, if we sent troops, Li Ziqian would definitely agree to pay us grain and grass, and then take advantage of the situation to destroy the Goryeo royal family and let him ascend the throne and be king. Why does Your Majesty support Wang Kai? "Before Wang Mu entered Beijing, he also did a lot of work.

"Say you're stupid, you really can't, the DPRK and China strictly control the number of troops sent this time, if you want to destroy Goryeo, you have to have an army of 200,000, where is there so much grain and grass support in the DPRK, sending 80,000 troops is already the extreme, destroying the Goryeo royal family, Li Ziqian will not cooperate with us, he wants to stabilize the situation in Goryeo, he can only push the hatred of the Goryeo people on us, he will completely fall to the Jin people, and confront the imperial court; But helping Wang Kai is different, we are his saviors, although he paid a little food, but he is still willing to restore his rule. Wang Pu glanced at his son and said: "More importantly, Wang Kai trusts the demon monk Miaoqing, this is the way to take trouble, when you go this time, you can have more contacts with Miaoqing, with this person, you can lay a good foundation for our complete annexation of Goryeo next time." ”

Wang Pu said that he was experienced and cunning, and he immediately saw the secret, Li Jing supported Wang Kai, but did not support Li Ziqian, a powerful minister, and he was still very discerning.

"I see, thank you father for reminding me." Wang Mu's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly said. If it weren't for Wang Pu's reminder, after going to Goryeo, he would really have had some contact with Li Ziqian. If so, I'm afraid it's a big deal for Li Jing.

"When you come back, Your Majesty will probably also return from the tour." Wang Pu said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, it has been the courtiers who share the worries for Your Majesty, but in our Tang Dynasty, it is Your Majesty who shares the worries of the courtiers. ”

"The child is worried, I'm afraid many people are going to lose their heads this year." Wang Mu smiled bitterly.

According to Wang Mu's understanding of those civil officials, the more it comes to the year of the catastrophe, the food and money issued by the imperial court, and the officials below must also have corrupt people.

"The imperial court only opened the imperial examination last year, Yu Yunwen and others now have some experience, if they kill a group of people, these people just come up, isn't this a good opportunity?" Wang Pu said indifferently.

Now the local officials of Datang, most of them are left by the previous dynasty, no one knows how much loyalty these people have to Datang, but if you want to come to corruption, there must be corruption, Li Jing just took such an opportunity to kill a group, promote a group, clean up the officialdom, and get some good reputation, divert the attention of the victims, kill more than one stone, why not.

He even guessed that Li Jing would often do this in the future, and this method of cutting leeks could actually solve many problems.
