A decisive battle was about to start, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The court was full of joy, the three elders were decent, and the emperor was also rewarded. The Shuori Dynasty Party immediately became a farewell party for retired veteran cadres.

Li Xiao, a founding baron who had no more than fifty households, looked at all this with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't have to die, and Han Ying didn't have to die, but they also left the court five or six years earlier than in history.

Now it looks like it's a happy finale of hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But these things did to him Li San, but he still said to himself in his heart, this is my credit, I have reserved a few old cadres for Datang.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Ying, Yu Zhining, Xue Wanche, Li Daozong, Zhisi Failure, Chai Lingwu, Fang Zhizhi······· These awesome characters are all preserved by me.

When he thought of this, he felt like an unsung hero behind the scenes.

It is hoped that Li Zhi will be able to avoid the beginning of fierce infighting after this smooth succession. Why do you think Li Shimin is great? That's because Li Shimin has the capacity to accommodate people and the wisdom of employing people. Although Li Shimin was also the leader of the Xuanwumen mutiny, although he also killed his brother and put his father under house arrest, he also took his brother's daughter-in-law.

But except for one hundred Pei Lin and Li Shimin who drove him away, the others Li Shimin used it very well. Whether it is Wei Zheng, who once persuaded Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin, or Wang Qi, a confidant who was built before, or even Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, etc., left by the old emperor, Li Shimin is not good.

It was Li Shimin's tolerance after the mutiny that he was able to quickly unite the forces of the entire Tang Dynasty, and in just a few years, he was disgraced and defeated the Turks.

If Li Shimin, who was behind the Xuanwu Gate, also carried out a big purge, it would not only make people panic, but even greatly weaken the power of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Tang quickly recover his strength at that time.

Since Li Zhi purged the eldest grandson Wuji and other veterans, the Li family has entered a strange circle. There were constant palace coups within the royal family, and political purges continued to be purged by friends in the court.

Round after round of struggle, the Tang Dynasty became weaker and weaker, and no one could beat it recently, until after the Anshi Rebellion, it was completely crippled.

I, Li San, am a loyal minister of Datang, and I have done all this to let Datang retain more vitality.

But who knows how good my intentions are.

At the end of the court meeting, Li Zhi personally sent the three elders out of the palace, and he was in front of the palace gate, supporting the three elders to say goodbye.

According to what was said, the eldest grandson Wuji resigned from his official position, handed over power, and then went home to retire.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Zhining also granted the Eastern Capital and the Northern Capital to stay behind respectively, they did not need to take office, this was just a false title of remote leader.

"In the future, there will be important military affairs in the DPRK and China, and I will send a lieutenant to the mansion to ask for advice."

Li Zhi's attitude is very good.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "The ministers are old, and they have worked hard all their lives, and now there are a group of younger and more capable ministers in the court to assist Your Majesty, and the old ministers and others will rest assured that they will go home to support their old age and retire for the rest of their lives." As for military affairs, there is His Majesty and the Prime Minister of the center. ”

The monarch and the minister said goodbye with tears, reluctant to give up, not to mention how touching the scene was.

After sending off the three old cadres, Li Zhi returned to the Ganlu Hall of the harem, and he walked extremely vigorously.

He was so excited that he even had a feeling of wanting to look up to the sky and roar.

"Isn't Concubine Ai happy?" Li Zhi asked the Wu clan, who was sitting there frowning.

"The concubine always thinks that things will not be so simple!"

"Uncle Guo and they have all returned home, what else is there to worry about?" Li Zhi felt that there was no problem, and now such an ending was what he was looking forward to. He didn't really want to go to the last step, unless he was forced to do so.

"Ai Concubine, I plan to wait for a while to officially propose the canonization of you as Concubine Chen in the center." Li Zhi smiled and stepped forward to hug Wu's shoulder.

Wu Shi smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Uncle Guo may not be willing to do this." ”

"They've already done it, so where can they do this?"

According to Li Zhi's idea, after a while, he would first establish the Wu clan as Concubine Chen, and then find a reason to abolish Queen Wang. Then the crown prince Li Zhong was abolished, and when the Wu clan was the queen, Li Hong became the eldest son, and it was a matter of course to establish him as the prince.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji and others stay in Chang'an, and the concubines always feel a little uneasy, so it's better to let them go back to their hometowns to retire, just like Taizong's example of Pei Lin back then."

Pei Lin was Gaozu's prime minister back then, and he was also Gaozu's most trusted courtier, after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he naturally did not want Pei to stay in the court, so he later found a reason to be related to the demon monk who deceived the public and surrendered his guilt, removed him from his official position, cut half of the food, and let him return to his hometown.

The eldest grandson Wuji's hometown is Luoyang, Yu Zhining's old Gaoyongzhou Gaoling, and Han Ming's hometown is Nanyang, Henan. Putting these old cadres back to their hometowns for the elderly will always make people feel more at ease.

Li Zhi thought for a while, "Let's talk about this later, it's not good to let them go back to their hometown at this time." ”

When Wu saw Li Zhi say this, she sighed and stopped mentioning it, she always felt in her heart that the eldest grandson Wuji and they did not compromise so easily and admit defeat.

Chang'an Avenue.

Li Xiao rode a horse and met the eldest grandson Wuji.

"What a coincidence." Li Xiao greeted with a smile. "The eldest grandson is safe and well."

"It's not a coincidence, it's that I know you're going to pass through here, and I'm waiting for you here. San Lang, now that the old man is no longer the prime minister, it's okay for you to call me Shibo. ”

The slightly chubby eldest grandson Wuji seems to be in a good mood, and his chubby-faced and smiling eyes are almost gone. He had already changed the purple robe goldfish and put on a very simple linen shirt.

Li Xiao was a little surprised.

"I don't know what the Taishi is looking for Li Xiao, if you are sent, just send someone to give you an order."

Eldest Sun Wuji said with a smile, "Some decisions are difficult to make, but after letting go, I feel relaxed, San Lang, thank you for your words that day, which made me completely determined." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, and one of his attendants brought a small locket.

"This is a house in Shengye Fang, it's not very big, it's a little bit of the old man's gratitude to you, don't shirk it, accept it."

Li Xiao knew Shengye Fang, which was the northeast location of Chang'an City, Chang'an City was rich in the east and rich in the west, and the south of the city was the residence of ordinary people.

The Shengye Fang and the Garden Fang in the northeast of the city are even more gathered, and all the dignitaries and nobles are gathered in these square areas, and the houses there are really every inch of land.

In particular, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a house there, and you have to have an identity. This identity naturally has to be a wealthy family.

Speaking of which, Li Xiao is now the founding man, and he is still a real seal of fifty households, and of course he has entered the ranks of the nobles of Guanlong.

"The old man knows that you haven't bought a house in Chang'an, and now you are an official in the corn prison, and you have to participate in the Shuowang Dynasty, and it is always inconvenient to have a house in Beijing. This house isn't worth anything anyway, so you can take it. ”
