Some time ago, Li Chengqian wrote a letter requesting to send troops to destroy Linyi, the apparent reason is that Linyi State has encroached on the land of the Tang Dynasty, but the private reason is because Linyi is rich in rice, although the Tang Dynasty is not short of grain now, but it will not be too much food, not to mention that the Linyi State is capricious, and Jiaozhou is too far away from the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the above reasons, of course, Li Zhi also has the meaning of training, after all, the Tang Dynasty has rarely had the opportunity to use troops on a large scale, especially in the south, and although Jiaozhou is far away, it is related to the safety of the Lingnan states, so it has become imperative to exterminate Linyi.

With Li Zhi's order, the government soldiers of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou immediately gathered together, and the navy led by Li Jin also actively cooperated, and under the attack of the land and water armies, Linyi surrendered in just half a month, and then Li Chengqian and others entered Linyi City and temporarily took charge of the entire territory of Linyi.

However, just after the war in Linyi ended, someone in the court quietly wrote to Li Zhi, saying that Li Chengqian was in charge of the military and political power in Linyi, and it was likely that there would be changes in the future, and Li Jin had been in charge of the navy for many years, and the navy was all his henchmen, and after the navy conquered the South Seas, the imperial court has not sent officials to fight the official tone, and now it is in charge of the navy, it can be said that the navy has money in its hands, people and land, and if it rebels, I am afraid that no one can control it.

Although this fold was directly torn up by Li Zhi, and the imperial history of the excerpt was relegated to other places, Li An still felt that he still had to discuss it with Li Xiu, after all, this matter involved the sensitive topic of rebellion, and Li Jin had been in the navy for many years, even if he did not have the intention of rebellion, he also had the strength to rebel, which was also a taboo for the emperor.

"Did Your Majesty say anything other than punishing those who went to the top of the game?" After listening to this, Li Xiu pondered for a moment, and finally asked.

"No, after Your Majesty tore off the fold, he directly ordered that imperial history to be demoted to the field, and he didn't say anything else, and the expression on his face was very calm, which made his sons unable to guess what His Majesty was thinking." Li An also frowned at this time and said, he is a few years older than Li Zhi, and he almost watched Li Zhi grow up, but now as Li Zhi ascends the throne for a long time, the imperial majesty on his body is getting heavier, and he sometimes can't guess Li Zhi's thoughts.

Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and after a while, he said slowly: "Although Your Majesty didn't say anything about this matter, I'm afraid only he knows what he thinks in his heart, and Jin'er has indeed stayed in the Navy for too long, so let's call him and Mingkong for the New Year today, and you write a letter to Cheng Qian, so that he had better find a way to come back, so that at least His Majesty's suspicion of them can be reduced." ”

"Yes, I'll do it!" Li An immediately agreed when he heard his father's words, and then turned around and went to write a letter to Li Jin and Li Chengqian.

After watching his son leave, Li Xiu frowned and sat behind the desk silently, Li Chengqian is his student, and Li Jin is his son, Li Xiu is also very familiar with the personalities of these two people, among them, Li Chengqian didn't say it first, just said that Li Jin, this kid, has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since he was a child, and there is a more fuel-efficient Wu Mingkong by his side, and the two of them together can be tossed more than anyone else.

However, thanks to Li Jin and Wu Mingkong's ability to toss, so in just a few years, the navy was brought back to life, and developed from the northern coast to the southern coast, and even laid down the entire South Sea, if the area of the islands controlled by the navy is added up, the total area is almost one-third of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the sea specialties are abundant, and the sea trade is also very profitable, so the navy's oil and water are also the most lucrative.

But with the growth of the navy, a very real problem has emerged, that is, the navy is the navy of the Tang Dynasty after all, not Li Jin's navy alone, of course, because of Li Jin's special identity, Li Zhi may not have any suspicions about him now, but if it is a long time, it is difficult to say, after all, as an emperor, he will never allow others to sleep on the side of the couch.

"It's okay to come back, and then see what Your Majesty means, if Your Majesty is not at ease, then let him add people to the navy, but Jin'er and his wife may be a little uncomfortable." Li Xiu suddenly said to himself at this time, he asked Li Jin to come back, just to test Li Zhi's attitude, and also to let Li Zhi know that Li Jin did not have any different intentions, otherwise he would not come back.

However, Li Jin and Li Chengqian's affairs are not very urgent, the most important thing now is that Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji are almost about to fall out, this matter is more tricky, Li Zhi is not the Li Zhi in the original history, if the original Li Zhi in history is still a little weak in character, then the current Li Zhi is much more decisive than the original, and even many people say that Li Zhi is more and more like Li Shimin.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Zhi does not allow others to get involved in the power that should belong to him, and now the eldest grandson Wuji has committed this taboo, if Li Zhi first ascended the throne a few years ago, because he was not familiar with the government, so he could still allow the eldest grandson Wuji to interfere in the court, then now Li Zhi has grown up, and he wants to take back all the power that belongs to him, and this naturally conflicts with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Zhi is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the eldest grandson Wuji is the head of the hundred officials, and he has been operating in the court for many years, and his relatives and friends are all over the court, if these two people really fight, no matter who wins or loses, the consequences are serious, and the only one who can mediate the two of them is only Li Xiu, this is not Li Xiu's boasting, but the consensus of everyone in the court, so after Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji quarreled, Li Ji, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and others also came to see Li Xiu, nominally to visit, but in fact they wanted to ask Li Xiu to mediate.

Faced with this situation, Li Xiu had no way to refuse, of course, he also planned to persuade Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, everything had to be based on the overall situation, so Li Xiu finally entered the palace to see Li Zhi on this day after preparing for a few days.

The Liangyi Hall is still as majestic and solemn as before, but the master of the hall has been replaced by Li Zhi, and when Li Xiu came here, he saw Li Zhi also stand up to greet him personally, and then the two sat opposite each other, but before Li Xiu could speak, he saw Li Zhi suddenly sigh and said: "Mr. came just in time, I just have a piece of music here and want you to take a look!" ”
