At the end of the song, the ministers sighed with satisfaction as if they had woken up from a beautiful dream, and then each raised his glass to thank the eldest grandson for his unscrupulous feelings.

The eldest grandson Wuji took it with a smile, and after the guest of honor had passed three rounds of wine, he said squarely:

"In fact, today, the old man invited you to come, firstly, because the lotus blossoms in this lake are in full bloom, and the beautiful scenery is naturally appreciated by everyone, so as to get its taste; Second, because of the recent events in the DPRK and China, I want to discuss it with you. ”

The ministers understood in their hearts, but they also nodded one after another. The first one said quickly:

"Lord Taiwei is thinking about the return of Tibet?

is also, this time the other party's words seem to have other intentions. ”

Who knew that the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said:

"No, no.

Although this time the Tibetan retreat seems to be intended to exclude those who are plotting against the DPRK, it is actually their duty......

You should also understand that what kind of person Nalu Dongzan is, since he has the intention to become friends with my Tang Dynasty, he should naturally investigate the Tang Dynasty in detail, and what kind of characters have to be guarded against at the moment.

Therefore, whether it is the intention of the new master of Tubo or the intention of his Lu Dongzan, it is a matter of course, and even within his duty.

What the old man is worried about is just the actions of those who intend to rebel that will be temporarily hidden after this recital. ”

When the ministers heard this, they all felt slightly uncomfortable:

In the final analysis, they are not like the eldest grandson Wuji, although they are also the ministers of Guan Long, but in the end, they are also devoted to Li Zhi.

It is because they are not as calm as the eldest grandson Wuji, but when they are faced with the negligence of the protector such as Tubo, they will inevitably worry because of selfishness.

Therefore, this time, the eldest grandson Wuji misunderstood the thoughts of the ministers-

What they are worried about is this Tibetan negligence, will it be intended to warn them, the old ministers who control the government? Could it be, but it is a statement that Li Zhi is the mainstay, and once Li Zhi intends to eliminate the power of their Guanlong family of old ministers, he will definitely help?

- To put it mildly, they just thought about the six months since Li Zhi ascended the throne, and when they faced Li Zhi's behavior and words, they finally felt a little guilty and had to take more precautions.

However, the ministers had no intention of showing such thoughts in front of the eldest grandson Wuji - or rather, the eldest grandson Wuji did not know the thoughts of the ministers, but although he was the first person who wanted Li Zhi to do everything to himself, he was really completely loyal to Li Zhi.

Therefore, I am also happy to watch these old ministers who have only known the interests of the Guanlong family in recent days, and actually put the interests of the Tang Dynasty in the second place, and take some lessons to return to their positions.

That's why he also smiled, only did not know the mentality of the ministers, but was only worried about the kings and nobles who really intended to rebel and had the ability to rebel, would they turn the originally flamboyant actions into darkness because of this letter?

If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get rid of their actions next.

Originally, these people who intended to rebel were all cautious, careful and shrewd. If you deliberately conceal it......

Alas!

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about Han Wang Yuanjia, thought about Wu Wang Li Ke, and thought about Princess Gaoyang......

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although Yu Suiliang also felt a little guilty, in the end, he was also a person who knew the eldest grandson Wuji in detail, and he knew in his heart that this time it was the eldest grandson Wuji who took the opportunity of the Tubo incident to give them a warning.

Therefore, it is also very soon to be colored:

"Your Excellency is right.

Speaking of which, those who originally plotted against the law can be regarded as within our control.

Now this letter from Tubo has the opposite effect of startling the snake......

Alas, what a pity. I don't know if Nalu Dongzan hasn't figured out the current situation yet, so he rashly spoke out to help! ”

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said:

"Tubo is to my Tang Dynasty, just as my Tang Dynasty is to Tibet.

Presumably, the other side has a deep understanding of the situation in China.

is like this, but I am afraid that Lu Dongzan did it deliberately......

I just don't know if he has another purpose in doing this.

What do you think, Lord Lieutenant? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji thought for a while, but nodded and said:

"Master Pei is reasonable, but I am afraid that Lu Dongzan's letter shows his loyalty, and there are other thoughts in it.

It's just that the current situation is still unclear, and the old man, like all adults, can't see clearly.

That's it, this Lu Dongzan has made it clear that he must be loyal to our Lord and live until death......

Naturally, it will not be unfavorable to our lord.

If it is not unfavorable to the Lord, it will naturally not be unfavorable to Datang.

Just let him go!

The most important thing at the moment is the matter of General Gao Kan's old friend. ”

On the one hand, Xu Jingzong, who had not attended such a drinking party for a long time, nodded and agreed, citing physical discomfort these days:

"Lord Taiwei has a point.

This time, with the secret help of Tibet, General Gao Kan will fight against the Turks, and he will return triumphantly.

At that time, General Gao's achievements were high and prosperous, and those old friends who knew him well and had always had a deep relationship with those who had plots such as King Han and King Wu were afraid that they would take this opportunity to get close to General Gao, and then use General Gao's merits to advance step by step to the high position in the court......

This is something to be prevented. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, glanced at him and said softly:

"Exactly. The so-called family thieves are difficult to prevent, and our lord is benevolent and charitable, the most subordinate person, the affection of brothers and sisters, plus the strong recommendation of General Gao Kan......

What's more, in recent days, our two factions have also interfered in the orders of the Lord for the sake of the queen's heirs and government affairs......

I'm afraid that no matter how broad-minded the Lord is, it will inevitably be a little mustard.

It's the old man here, but it has a meaning:

At present, in order to prove to the Lord that our Guanlong family is completely loyal to the Lord, and in order to block the rebels who intend to use General Gao Kan's promotion to seize power, from now on, some things, especially internal affairs, should also be obedient if the Lord's will is not very serious...... lest the lord be like the deposed prince of the past, because he was pressed too hard and ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji deliberately stopped, looked at the third division who was sitting on one side, and had become more and more silent recently, his face became a little ugly, and then he said:

"I wonder what you think?"

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong, although his face was the same as that of other ministers, he showed some unnatural and even embarrassed looks, but he couldn't help secretly rejoicing in his heart, and even more marveled at Li Zhi's appearance like a god:

Sure enough, Lu Dongzan's letter intended to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to show his loyalty was able to shock the people in the court, no matter how big or small, who were somewhat selfish, and they were all frightened one by one, and even had to show their feet!

It's just that......

He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting in the first place, with some surprise:

Unexpectedly, this eldest grandson Wuji could see that these ministers of Guan Long under his command had their own interests in their hearts, and they were not completely loyal to the king......

And what surprised him the most was that he would take this opportunity to act according to Li Zhi's wishes and beat these people......

Could it be ......

He glanced at Eldest Sun Wuji with some uneasiness, then withdrew his gaze, and said vigilantly in his heart:

Could it be that the eldest grandson Wuji saw something?

……

It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

Tai Chi Temple.

Inside the small study.

After Li Zhi'an sat on the case, he only held a pair of jasper unicorn seals in one hand and played with them, put one hand on the back of the circle chair, leaned back, and listened to Xu Jingzong's report that he was dressed in the palace and secretly entered the palace.

Hearing that he was worried that the eldest grandson Wuji would have doubts about his intentions this time, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile lightly and said:

"This is Xu Qing's overthinking.

This time my uncle acted like this, which was expected-

In the final analysis, although his uncle is the head of Guan Long's family, he is also the person who restricts me the most in the court......

But in fact, in the end, he is my uncle, and he is the elder who loves me the most in the Tang Dynasty at the moment. is because of this, he is only afraid that he can only see that those important ministers of the Guanlong family are increasingly distracted from the government and closer to selfish interests, and they are suspected of taking advantage of power for personal gain.

It's just that his methods can only shake down some dust in the end, rather than a clever trick to reverse the trend of the entire Guanlong family that is increasingly self-interested. ”

Li Zhi said this, his smile was abrupt, and he said:

"After all, at the moment, it seems that although it is the two uncles of Na Han and Jing, they are the most uneasy elements in the court......

In fact, the secret war between the Guanlong family and the clan and the clan is the real cancer of my Tang Dynasty, and it is also the root of the disease that I will inevitably eradicate. ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, and said with sincerity:

"The Lord is wise. Speaking of which, if the eldest grandson Wuji beats this time, presumably those Guanlong ministers, even the clan lineage, will also be somewhat restrained, and take this opportunity to make another surprise army, create more opportunities and karma, and prepare the foundation for showing his power in the future! ”

Li Zhi smiled faintly, but he didn't speak, but what appeared in his heart was just Mei Niang......

The phoenix robe and golden crown, the elegance of all directions, the elegant and majestic Mei Niang.

With a faint smile, he bowed his head and said nothing.

After a while, he took a pair of dark eyes, stared at the desk in front of him, and said thoughtfully:

"By the way, have you ever heard your uncle say that the third brother is ......

What's going on? ”

Xu Jingzong was waiting for Li Zhi to ask such a question, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said softly:

"There is a lord who is about to make this matter clear to the lord:

During today's banquet, the eldest grandson Taiwei didn't know where to get the news, and he actually knew that Chai Lingwu, the son of Princess Pingyang Zhao, and the bereaved love of Princess Gaoyang entered the palace of King Wu.

And the details of the conversation between the three of them were obtained.

Seem......

His Royal Highness King Wu also understood that this Tubo negligence was intended to shock the tiger, and he was actually quite worried.

But that's not all, King Wu's mind has always been deep, although there are words of worry, but there is no worry.

Even Chai Lingwu was the same, although he was a little indignant, he didn't look very uneasy......

It's the ...... of that house."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked up at him:

He ...... Feeling uneasy? ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said cautiously:

"Listening to the secret agent placed in the palace of King Wu by the eldest grandson, it seems that King Wu was also in his words at that time, and deliberately beat this horse, as if he was aware of what Princess Gaoyang had done and had a warning heart.

And the love of the house is also quite nervous......

Lord, it seems that after this series of incidents, the real mastermind is not His Royal Highness King Wu, but Princess Gaoyang, who will not be wrong. ”

Li Zhi was silent for a long time before he said softly:

"Maybe......

In short, there is Lao Xuqing today. These days, I have to work hard, Xu Qing pays more attention to the trends of the DPRK and China. ”

After Xu Jingzong agreed, Li Zhi called De'an to come and took Xu Jingzong to the treasure house, and took a pair of rare white jade buckles given to him by Emperor Taizong in the previous years as a reward.

When Xu Jingzong heard the reward, he was first shocked, and then he thanked him with surprise, joy and some fear:

There is no other reason, it was only a few days ago that he unintentionally said something in his own house, and said that he had seen this pair of white jade buckles, and he liked it very much......

And today Li Zhi will appreciate this thing...... This called the suspicious Xu Jingzong, who had to be a little scared, and at the same time dispelled some thoughts.

……

After a while, watching De'an come back, Li Zhi said leisurely:

"Gone?"

"Gone, scared to death. Hum! Such a villain, although he is talented, is also heartless in the end - he really thinks that the Lord will attach importance to him to install eyes and ears in his house! I don't want to think about the Lord......

When he gave this thing, although the Lord was still young, he could see his thoughts at a glance. ”

Dean smiled coldly.

Li Zhi didn't laugh, only sighed:

"If it weren't for the last few days, there are some things he really doesn't want to see...... I don't want to go through the trouble of doing this kind of fight with him.

That's it. ”

Dean thought about it, but nodded and said:

"Exactly. The most important thing at the moment is the intention of His Royal Highness King Wu.

Hum! Speaking of which, Xu Jingzong is really a blind and seemingly smart person, but he is really incompetent...... King Wu took advantage of the momentum of Tibet to deliberately show his loyalty, he couldn't see it, and he actually tried in vain to take advantage of the opportunity of the Lord to rectify the two factions of the Guanlong clan, rise to the momentum, and grasp the power of the court and the central government with one hand! ”

Li Zhi smiled without a smile and said slowly:

"He's really smart, and he's really treacherous......

But even if it is such a person, as long as it is used in the right place, as long as it is used carefully, it can help me in the long term. ”
