"If you pull someone else, will anyone believe it? If what I just guessed was true, she wouldn't really want to do anything to us, but at least she would take the opportunity to save the prince from this crisis. As long as the crown prince is safe, we will be safe......" Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "It's ridiculous." ”

"Perhaps...... Did the people of Chunxiangfang really just move away by themselves? Didn't A-Niang say that they are shrewd businessmen, and this is not impossible......"

"But we don't have time to confirm, and we can't take the risk."

Princess Xianyi sighed in annoyance: "Aya is really, why don't you make a final decision today, and have to wait until tomorrow to make it?" ”

"You Aya got Li Shilang's statement today, you have won a big victory, and it will be delayed until tomorrow, it is for the courtiers to go down the steps, and correspondingly, he also hopes that the courtiers can give him the steps, so that tomorrow, the prince will deserve it, and the abolition of the prince will be logical, and it will not be his will."

"That Niang...... Is there anything else we can do today? ”

"There are many dreams at night, maybe you can take a gamble to see if you can eat a reassuring pill." Concubine Wu Hui pondered for a long time before she made up her mind, asked her daughter to summon Niu Xiantong in, and solemnly instructed, "I remember that you have a righteous son who has poetry and books and is articulate. ”

"Concubine Hui mean Niu Gui'er?"

Concubine Wu Hui bowed her head and said, "You prepare a real gift and let him bring it...... Zhang Xianggong's premises. ”

Niu Xiantong understood what the master meant when he heard it, and immediately knelt down and bowed to him: "The slave and maid are for your children, and Concubine Xie Hui is promoted!" ”

Waiting for Niu Xiantong to retreat, Princess Xianyi said worriedly: "A-Niang...... Can he really do it? ”

Concubine Wu Hui was silent and said, "A-Niang doesn't know either." This is actually the next step, but there is nothing else that can be done - what if tomorrow, the ministers do not retort? ”

The next morning, from the beginning of the gathering of the permanent staff officers at the base of the diligent government affairs building, Xiao Jiangyuan saw that something was wrong-Zhang Jiuling's side...... How did you tie up a little eunuch? The eunuch is still very familiar...... Ah, she remembered, it was the righteous son of Niu Xiantong next to Concubine Wu Hui, named Niu Gui'er.

She immediately realized something—wouldn't it, Concubine Wu Hui could use such a stupid trick?

She came out to welcome the ministers upstairs, so she didn't have time to inform Li Longji, so she had to lead the ministers into the palace, and then obediently stood beside Li Longji. Seeing that Zhang Jiuling calmly asked Niu Gui'er to kneel, and then very simply, Niu Gui'er bribed him last night on the order of Concubine Wu Hui, and even said wildly, saying that "if Zhang Xianggong can lend a hand, he will be able to stay in the position of prime minister for a long time in the future".

Li Longji was proudly waiting for everyone to surrender, but he didn't expect to have this kind of thing again, and he couldn't react for a while, so he was led away by Zhang Jiuling. The spearhead of the ministers suddenly pointed at Concubine Wu Hui's wanton interference in politics, with bad intentions, and never mentioned the abolition of the crown prince.

Li Longji knew in his heart that Zhang Jiuling didn't really want to do anything to Concubine Wu Hui, but was just using Concubine Wu Hui's safety to exchange the crown prince's abolition with him. Zhang Jiuling is justified and well-founded, and there are witnesses, so if he is reasonable, he will not spare people, no matter how unwilling Li Longji is, he can only admit it.

Although he was dissatisfied with Concubine Wu Hui's excessive move, after all, he had been married for many years, not to mention that they were still on the same front this time, so he did not blame Concubine Wu Hui. Even about the abolition of the crown prince, he did not let go because of this, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still abolish it - this could not be known to Zhang Jiuling.

When the court meeting dispersed, all the ministers retreated one after another, Li Longji stared at Zhang Jiuling's back, his eyes were heavy, and he sighed, deep and meaningful.

"You say...... Yueniang is smart, how could she make such a bizarre mistake? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "The minister can't figure out the reason. With Concubine Wu Hui's wisdom, she wouldn't know that this was the next step, but she knew that she couldn't do it, and this might be the ...... A common problem with motherhood? When faced with things related to his son, he will be more anxious, and once he is in a hurry, he will be prone to make mistakes. ”

"It's not a disease." Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan looking at him suspiciously, Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "One day you become a mother, maybe you will be able to understand." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan immediately remembered the content of the painting and calligraphy, and couldn't help but take two steps back. Li Longji looked strange, so he reached out and pulled: "You are ......?"

I saw Xiao Jiangyuan move two more steps.

Li Longji: "??? ”

…… He's not doing much, why is she reacting so much?

Regarding Concubine Wu Hui's mistake and losing all the games, Li Linfu can only think of one explanation: a wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake.

In this regard, Concubine Wu Hui is also very calm. She seemed to know that she would fail, without resentment or loss. Seeing that Li Longji didn't blame herself, she responded as usual.

In fact, she didn't have any loss this time, but the seed of the abolished prince had been deeply planted in Li Longji's heart, and it would only sprout and grow in the future. It's just that before coming to Japan, she has to let Li Linfu do one thing first: "Since Zhang Xianggong is so unkind, then don't let him continue to stay in the phase, Li Xianggong can do it, right?" ”

Li Linfu's reply naturally was: "The minister must live up to Concubine Hui's expectations." ”

Since the day he became the prime minister, he had this intention in his heart, and although the abolition of the prince failed, it was not without gain, the sage no longer appreciated Zhang Jiuling as much as before, and patience was greater than everything. This makes it much easier to achieve this.

Who made Zhang Jiuling so stubborn that he refused to be flexible, although he was sober and perceptive to everything? Since Zhang Jiuling doesn't cherish the position of prime minister, don't blame him Li Linfu, who is a latecomer.

coincided with the arrival of the border general Zhang Shouqi in the Eastern Capital, coupled with the haunting of the Eastern Capital, Li Linfu had the opportunity to make a fuss and make Zhang Jiuling further fall out of favor.

This Zhang Shouqi is a good general of the Tang Dynasty, who once subdued Tubo and defeated the Khitan, which can be described as countless military achievements. Earlier, Li Longji wanted to reward him as prime minister, but Zhang Jiuling sternly refused. Last year, Zhang Shouqi made a victory in the eastern capital, and Li Longji had no choice but to retreat to the second, and named Zhang Shouqi as the general of the auxiliary state, the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, and the imperial historian.

Zhang Jiuling is certainly dedicated to the public, but Zhang Shouqi doesn't know. Even if Zhang Shouqi is dedicated to fighting for the country and has never had the intention of entering the picture, Zhang Jiuling, who has hindered him, will never leave a good impression in his mind.

However, last year Zhang Shouqi returned triumphantly, but this year it is very different - his Pinglu crusade envoy has suffered a big defeat, and he brought that person into Beijing to plead guilty. Zhang Jiuling already advocated not doing anything, didn't Zhang Shouqi happen to be in his hands this time? And this is the opportunity given by God to Li Linfu.

A few days later, when he heard that Zhang Shouqi had already lived in a post house in the Eastern Capital, the more Li Longji thought about it, the more strange he became: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if it is defeated, General Zhang has every right to deal with it by military law on the spot, why did he have to rush over with that person all the way this time and let me personally punish him?" ”

The so-called military law punishment is to kill directly.

Although Xiao Jiangyuan is good at scheming and gradually understanding the country's general affairs, he has never studied and experienced military affairs, and he has always understood only half of it, which is far less understanding than Li Longji. Therefore, when Li Longji often talks about military affairs, she rarely expounds her own opinions, so as not to mislead the minds of the people of this world, but she can say two sentences: "If the military law had been dealt with at that time, the Pinglu crusade envoy would not have survived now." ”

"You mean, General Zhang is reluctant to kill that man?"

At the moment, only this explanation makes sense. Presumably, that one is quite outstanding, and he is very valued by General Zhang. General Zhang loved talent for a while and couldn't bear to kill him, and seeing that everyone valued and tolerated the military general in recent years, he insisted on bringing him into Beijing. It's not so much that they're pleading guilty this time, it's more like ...... Fall into the land of death and then live. ”

"You also watched The Art of War?" Li Longji said in surprise.

"It was Brother Chenna who let the minister see it, saying that the changes are endless, and it is extremely strange, and it can not only be used on the battlefield." Xiao Jiangyuan nodded as he spoke, agreeing with his brother Yang Siqiao's opinion.

"Our General Yang is indeed very talented in warfare, and he is a late bloomer, which is very good." After praising Yang Siqiao, Li Longji continued to think about Zhang Shouqi. He doesn't like to be calculated, especially by his courtiers, "General Zhang, he thinks I will deal with it at my discretion, and I will definitely do it?" It's just a fledgling general, and if you kill it, you will kill it. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the sea has embraced all rivers, and the Tang people, the Hu people, and even the Tang envoys from various countries have been treated equally, and they are also willing to be officials and generals in our dynasty, and one has died, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a few better generals? ”

This is exactly what Li Longji said. As early as the Kaiyuan period, Japan, which is located in the east of the Tang Dynasty across the sea, has sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty several times, among which the one who was given the name "Chao Heng" by Li Longji also entered the Guozijian to study. At this time, he was already the left of the province.

This is just one example of civil officials, and among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are also Hu people who are brave and good at fighting. For example, the Geshu family, which used to be another part of the Western Turks, lived in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty for generations after subjugating the Tang Dynasty in the early years, guarding one side for the monarch. A few years later, there will also be a famous general called "Ge Shuhan" in this family, who will be in contrast to Gao Xianzhi, a famous Tang general from the Han Dynasty.

In Li Longji's view, the so-called prosperous era of a great power should be like this. Whether it is the surrounding tribes or the vassal countries, since they have come to live in the land of the Tang Dynasty, they are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. If they are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty, he will have nothing to dare to use. He is confident in Datang, but also confident in his own charm and ability, and he is willing to recruit all available talents with the broadest mind.

Although what he said was true, Li Longji's meaning made Xiao Jiangyuan a little crying and laughing. Of course, Li Longji is not once or twice, she has long been used to it: "Everyone is making trouble with the courtiers, because it is not the work of Mingjun to abolish the public privately, everyone thinks twice." ”

"Don't worry, I'll have to wait until I see that person before making a decision. If it is really a talent, General Zhang can play tricks on me, and I can not blame the past. ”

A few days later, Zhang Shouqi and Pinglu attacked the envoys, and then met with Li Longji with the permanent staff.

"Minister Zhang Shouqi knocks to see the saint, long live the saint!" Yu Guang saw that the general of the defeated army he brought was stunned, as if he had forgotten to do the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Zhang Shouqi hurriedly stretched out his leg and kicked him in the knee socket - he hadn't even kicked him.

Li Longji: "??? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

Ministers: "......"

It's just that this person is too fat, this is still because of the march and lost a lot of weight, Zhang Shouqi didn't feel a little headache, and glared angrily - Lao Tzu led you to see the Son of Heaven, it is to let you live, not to let you die, don't hurry up and kneel down for Lao Tzu!

Fortunately, this Hu general woke up because of Zhang Shouqi's kick, and hurriedly saluted Li Longji. It's just that he is already obese, and his hands and thorns are tied behind his back, and his movements are very difficult, and his center of gravity is even more unstable when he kneels, and he actually crawls directly to the ground while kowtowing!

Even so, he didn't delay in shouting and greeting Li Longji loudly: "An Lushan, the guilty minister, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor, and wish His Majesty the Emperor eternal peace and happiness!" ”
