Chapter 67: This Prince Is Not Ordinary

"Hahaha, this palace is just a little joke, uncle don't be excited."

Li Tai looked at the frightened eldest grandson Wuji, laughed loudly, and teased: "These beards have been with my uncle for many years, and every loss is a big loss!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't make fun of the old minister!"

Seeing that Li Tai was joking, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and pursed his lips angrily.

"Just let Pei Xingjian go."

Li Tai pondered for a moment and said: "This person is brave and strategic, and he is reliable, and this palace has noticed him a long time ago, and he is a material that can be made." ”

"Huh? Why didn't Lao Chen think of this person? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he bowed his head slightly and said: "This person was born in a family, his father and brother were both officials in the previous dynasty, and he has won the true biography of Su Dingfang, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, and he is indeed a talent, but he is ......."

"Just what?"

Li Tai opened his mouth and asked: "Uncle has something to say, what is he doing with this palace?" ”

"It's just that this Pei Xingjian's wife, Lu Qiniang, the daughter of Lu Shuang, the squire of the military department, just passed away not long ago."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Lu Shuang lost his beloved daughter, faintly angered Pei Xingjian, coupled with the complicated relationship between the family and the connections, there are rumors that Pei Xingjian is a lone star and killed his wife, which makes Pei Xingjian feel a double blow. ”

"People, spirits and spirits."

After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji pondered and said: "But now Pei Xingjian is underestimating the frustration, and sending him as a messenger at this time, I'm afraid he is not in the best state!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

Li Tai's brows furrowed, his sleeves waved, and he said angrily: "This palace has heard that the Lu family and Pei Xingjian are very affectionate and loving, since the two got married, they have several children, Lu Shuang lost his beloved daughter, didn't Pei Xingjian have the pain of losing his wife?!" ”

"Moreover, the palace has long said in coordinating the ministries that in political affairs, the public is public, private is private, the court is not the family's own land, to be eclectic to reduce talents, talented, poor backgrounds can also be promoted; If you are incapable, even the relatives of the emperor and the country will not want to eat a vegetarian meal! ”

Li Tai snorted coldly: "He, Lu Shuang, is just a soldier in the army, so he dares to take advantage of the situation to suppress the young talents in the court?" Hehe, it's really a big official authority! ”

After speaking, Li Tai said in an indifferent tone: "It seems that this palace is not the emperor after all, and even this prince has only been in office for a short time, it is still difficult to prohibit it. ”

Li Tai's expression was calm, but he was not angry, there was a wind and thunder between his eyebrows, and there was an undercurrent in his tone!

He has been in a high position for a long time, and now he has entered the East Palace, presided over the country, and has real power, although he is still the prince, but he is only a name difference with the new emperor, and it is just an enthronement ceremony.

In addition, now Li Tai is even more immortal cultivator, and he is no longer a mortal, and now when he is angry, the kingly aura that he unconsciously exudes makes the eldest grandson Wuji, the elder of the dynasty and the head of the hundred officials, also feel frightened.

"The old minister was negligent, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to calm his anger."

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly bowed over and wanted to kneel.

On weekdays, the eldest grandson Wuji may still be able to rely on the old and sell the old, after all, he is Li Tai's uncle, and he is close by blood, so he can be casual in front of Li Tai, and he doesn't have to be too restrained.

But now that Li Tai is angry, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately regarded himself as a courtier, but he didn't dare to rely on the identity of the prince's uncle to deal with him casually.

Didn't I hear that Li Tai had just ordered it, if it didn't do a good thing, wouldn't the emperor's relatives not be allowed to have a vegetarian meal?

Is this just a matter of facts? Is there any implication?

The eldest grandson, Wuji, didn't dare to think about it too much.

Because he knows very well that now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the real future saint, and he is definitely not as easy to fool as the abolished prince Li Chengqian.

The Holy Monarch not only kills, but also punishes the heart!

"Okay, it's not all the prime minister's fault."

Li Tai looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was about to kneel, flicked his sleeve robe, and used a soft strength to support his body.

"Lu Shuang is a squire of the Ministry of War, and the current secretary of the Ministry of War is the British Gong Li Tao, right? You ask him to talk to Lu Shuang. ”

Li Tai said lightly: "In addition, recruit Pei Xingjian to the East Palace to see the palace, and the palace will also take a look, if he is really depressed and depressed because of this suppression, then he is not a great talent." ”

"Yes!"

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said respectfully: "The minister will do it immediately, and he will go immediately." ”

Seeing the back of the eldest grandson Wuji's departure, Li Tai stood with his hands in his hands, his fingers moving rhythmically.

"It seems that in the recent period of time, my father has been gracious to the world, so that many people have already drifted."

Li Tai took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"It's time to find an opportunity, knock knock."

Li Tai has made up his mind in his heart.

After the official start of the Journey to the West, in addition to opening the road of expansion to the outside world, in order to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty and make the fortune of the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

Internally, he also ordered the ministries to start a new round of evaluation of officials at all levels, starting with Beijing officials and then gradually implementing them to local officials at all levels.

After a building has been built for a long time, it is inevitable that dust, cobwebs and other debris will accumulate in the corners and corners.

At this time, the great purge from top to bottom is necessary.

……

The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Tai's resoluteness, and after leaving the East Palace, he naturally didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and went straight to the military headquarters.

"Brother Eldest Sun, why did you come here in such a hurry?"

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, the new British Duke of the Ministry of War, Li Tao, looked at his old brother with a smile and said, "You are a busy man, but you haven't been to my yamen for a long time. ”

After Li Jing's death, the most powerful contender for the position of the secretary of the military department was Junji, the prince of Chen Guo, who was recommended to Taizong by Wei Zheng before his death.

But he had a bad idea and raised troops to help the deposed prince Li Chengqian rebel.

After the matter was revealed, the rebels were defeated by Xue Rengui's troops, and Hou Junji had no shame to return to Beijing and killed himself outside. (This is the plot of this book, and it has nothing to do with the official history)

Therefore, the vacancy of the secretary of the military department, in terms of qualifications, the most suitable person in the court is naturally the British Duke Li Tao, who is also among the twenty-four ministers of the Lingyan Pavilion.

"Brother Mao Gong, I also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace."

The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand at Li Tao, and said with a serious expression: "Lu Shuang, the squire of the military department, is under your command, is this right?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Li Tao nodded confusedly and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He's in trouble!"

The eldest grandson Wuji's tone was solemn, and he made clear Li Tai's attitude just now to the British Duke Li Tao.

"I haven't heard of that yet."

After hearing this, Li Tao frowned slightly, and then asked puzzledly: "But even if Lu Shuang suppresses this Pei Xingjian, it's not a big deal, right?" Since ancient times, in the imperial court, no matter how holy the monarch is, there is no shortage of ministers and parties fighting against each other, Lu Shuang's suppression of Pei Xingjian is not too much, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince making a big fuss? ”

"You don't understand this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a saint in the future, and the eyes of the saint monarch are all to take one step and see ten steps, and they are always in the future."

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said: "We old guys can still exert our spare heat for the imperial court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally give us the dignity we deserve, but if you think about it, how many years can we dedicate to the imperial court?" After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, does the new dynasty need fresh blood? ”

"What do you mean......"

Li Tao gasped.

"Let's do a good job, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely give us old ministers enough face, and there will be no shortage of rewards and titles, but suppressing the young talents of the court is to cut off the fresh blood of the new dynasty in the future, which is ruining the country!"

The eldest grandson, Wuji, said on the ground: "What I said is so clear, Brother Mao Gong, you can't still understand it, right?" You have just taken up the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and you can't count it in your heart! ”

"Thank you, Brother Eldest Sun, for mentioning it!"

Li Tao's expression was sudden, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "I'll go to talk to Lu Shuang after I release the ya, oh!" Wrong! I'll go now, right away! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also preparing to send an envoy to the west to learn scriptures, Brother Mao Gong, remember to select some elite soldiers and strong generals, and then serve as the escort of the mission."

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said: "This official still has to go to the Ministry of Rites, and let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu go to prepare the special products of the Tang Dynasty brought by the mission along the way, so I won't stay more." ”

"Good, good, good."

Li Tao nodded again and again, and sent the eldest grandson Wuji all the way out of the door.

"It's just been the prison of the country, and there have been so many big moves, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

Looking at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji's departure, Li Tao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and muttered, "It's really not an ordinary person!" ”
