However, Li Ji didn't feel that this sentence was inappropriate at all.

Still standing there with a calm face, like a wooden statue.

The old man had already thought very clearly at this moment, since the prince dared to say this, he must have expected the reaction of the military.

Rather than being embarrassed by himself here, it is better to push the boat down the river and see how Li Hong reacts.

If he didn't have a backhand, Li Ji would have to compromise with Empress Wu, anyway, Pei Xingjian had to be protected, and he believed that Li Hong was also very aware of this.

Since you're going to make trouble, I'll make trouble with you!

After making up his mind, the tone of the boss's speech was not so polite, and there was a sharp meaning everywhere, as if he was going to quarrel with Li Hong in the next moment.

Seeing this scene, Empress Wu nodded slightly, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

As long as the military is willing to back down, there is room for de-escalation in today's situation.

But just for a moment, Empress Wu's face sank, this Li Yifu was really confused, he actually made such a big deal at this time, ruining the good situation.

It seems that I have indulged him too much over the years!

Empress Wu made up her mind that after the court meeting, she would beat this old minister well.

"After the queen of Qiyu, Chunyu's case involves important ministers, and the sons think that the trial of the three divisions is necessary!"

Strangely, hearing Li Ji's slightly accusatory words, Li Hong was not angry, but a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"As for the matter of the Western Expedition, General Pei made the decision without authorization and should be punished, but the military situation at that time was like fire. General Pei has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, according to the opinion of Erchen. His crime should be punished for one year, and he thought about it behind closed doors for half a month! Its merit should be rewarded with a knighthood according to the laws of my Datang! In this way, the rewards and punishments of the father and the queen mother are clear! ”

Empress Wu's face changed.

Today's thing. This son was so disappointing to her.

So far, he still thinks that both sides will not be offended, but I'm afraid that this time he will be empty!

In the eyes of Empress Wu, Li Hong's method is to have both fish and bear's paws, but the result is that the tiger does not become an anti-dog, on the one hand, he does not want to offend the military, so he puts everything on Pei Xingjian, but seeing that Li Ji wants to protect Pei Xingjian to the death, he has to deal with Pei Xingjian lightly.

Pei Xingjian made great contributions to the west. How can a small title be rewarded, at least you have to enter the political hall to worship the prime minister, which is why the Empress Wu instructed Li Yifu to make a move.

She doesn't want another prime minister in the political hall who has different political views from hers!

But Li Hong did this, but he would only offend the military, and the Empress Wu's heart was like a mirror, and the people on the military side hated the most to defect from the battlefield.

Li Hong's move is exactly that.

What's more, at the moment, Li Hong not only offended the military, but also insisted on disposing of Li Yifu, which even the Empress Wu had to offend.

This is also what the Empress Wu can't figure out the most. What exactly was Li Hong thinking?

Could it be that for the sake of a Li Yifu, he really doesn't care about anything?

Empress Wu vaguely felt that her son would not be so simple......

"Well, Hong'er is reasonable, and the merits and demerits do not offset each other! Although Pei Aiqing's move is inappropriate. But there is a reason for it, so let's do what Hong'er said! ”

When Empress Wu was puzzled, Li Zhi's voice suddenly sounded.

The tone is indifferent. But Empress Wu heard a hint of relief and looked up. saw a faint smile on the corner of Li Hong's mouth.

Her son is really not a simple character!

Empress Wu's mind was racing, and she figured out the current situation. I also understood why Li Zhi supported Li Hong's views.

Pei Xingjian returned to Chang'an with such an immortal achievement this time, and the last thing he wanted to see was not Empress Wu, but Li Zhi!

Because this means that the long-stable court situation will become mysterious because of this, and the civil and military forces will be reshuffled, and then it will not be something that a great court meeting can solve.

Therefore, the current situation may not be caused by Li Zhi's deliberate laissez-faire, otherwise, with Li Zhi's imperial tricks that have been on the throne for so many years, how could he urgently recall Pei Xingjian back to Beijing with a secret letter, and after returning to Beijing, he turned to defend Pei Xingjian?

Li Hong's two sentences seem unwise, but they are actually in line with Li Zhi's intentions.

On the one hand, he accepted the Turkic surrender and saved the face of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he controlled the situation on Pei Xingjian alone, so as to avoid causing dissatisfaction among the entire Western Expeditionary Army.

The disposal of Pei Xingjian is also ingeniously tight, originally Pei Xingjian made such a great achievement, even if he could not worship the prime minister, his prestige would inevitably rise sharply because of this, and the non-hereditary title could not be rewarded.

But now that he has been beaten, Pei Xingjian has become the party that is at a loss.

The great merit of the Western Expedition was sent away with a small title, which can be described as a cost-effective to the extreme.

And even if the military is dissatisfied, there is no way, Pei Xingjian's own bitter fruit can only be swallowed by himself, Li Zhi's treatment of it is already an emperor's grace!

Li Hong obviously saw Li Zhi's intentions, so he dared to be so bold, and even stepped forward regardless of the danger of offending the military.

Empress Wu even wondered if today's incident was a big drama that Li Zhi and Li Hong had colluded to perform!

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was dispelled by the Empress Wu.

There are really too many accidents in today's situation.

"Uh, Queen, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi reacted that it was not right, in the past, he had to consult the opinion of the Empress Wu for such a big matter.

Especially the current situation is too involved, and even Li Yifu has been involved, so Li Zhi is even more inappropriate to make a decision.

It's just that the method that Li Hong said just now is really suitable for Li Zhi's mind, and when he was happy for a while, Li Zhi directly spoke out in support.

However, now that he reacted, Li Zhi had no choice but to make up a sentence to the martial arts.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wu Hou said respectfully.

No matter what she thinks in her heart, but since Li Zhi has set the tone, she naturally will not object, and now that she is at the Great Court Conference, she still understands this point after advancing and retreating.

What's more, Li Hong did this matter really beautifully, and it can be said that it completely satisfied Li Zhi.

These days, Li Hong's relationship with the military has been a little too close, and even though Li Zhi trusts him, he always feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Today, Li Hong's troubles will inevitably open up relations with the military, and in any case, a thorn has been planted in the hearts of both sides, putting an end to the possibility that Li Hong and the military are too close.

In this way, wouldn't it make Li Zhi happy.

And at this moment, Li Zhi has obviously made up his mind, and it is useless to stop it.

What's more, the purpose of today's Empress Wu is only to prevent Pei Xingjian from worshipping the prime minister, so Li Hong's method is barely acceptable, so naturally he will not make Li Zhi unhappy.

But......

Empress Wu glanced at Li Ji, what did Li Hong do to offend the military!
