Just when Xiao Yi was still secretly sighing, Li Tai, who was standing in front, had already lost his previous happy mood at this time.

He was not jealous of Li Zhi's own reward.

Instead, he felt depressed after hearing about the reward Xiao Yi received.

Obviously, everyone goes out on business and is a subordinate who works and leads the merit, why can you not follow the rules when you Li Zhi comes here?

What are you going to do with other officials in the future if you are so unruly?

How will you make Ma Zhou think of me if you are so unruly?

Li Tai didn't think about his current identity at all.

As a dignified prince and covets the throne, how can he steal credit from his subordinates?

People behaved in front of you for a long time, but you not only didn't reward you, but also took the credit of others into your own pocket.

If you rob your subordinates of the credit like this, who will want to do it for you? Who would dare to get too close to you?

What are the officials willing to follow you to mix? Isn't it possible to get promoted and make a fortune?

Li Tai may have misread a bound edition of the Analects, and his understanding of the Analects on the way of being an official was almost entirely wrong.

At this time, he was still secretly complaining about the other officials, but he didn't know that the other officials were all looking forward to the opportunity to go on a trip with Li Zhi.

If you go out for a month, you can be promoted from six to four when you come back, and when such a good thing falls on your head, you will be asked if you are numb?

Such a prince asks you if you like it?

The rules that Li Tai thought in his heart had long since ceased to exist in a position like Li Zhi.

The same is true of Li Zhi's approach in the hands of the six scholars.

Everyone has reached the position where they can meet the emperor at any time, and who cares about the reward that is exchanged for the official trip?

Wouldn't it be better to have that time to bragging and chatting with the emperor and patting the emperor's ass?

After Li Shimin announced the reward, he dispersed.

However, the discussion about the two brothers, Li Tai and Li Zhi, has just begun.

Xiao Yi had just walked out of the Taiji Hall not far before he was surrounded by a group of colleagues who could only be regarded as nodding friends.

"Congratulations to Brother Xiao, Gao Sheng!"

"Brother Xiao's hard work has paid off, it's really gratifying!"

"Such a happy event has come, Brother Xiao is going to have a treat!"

Xiao Yi, who was surrounded in the middle, couldn't tell who was talking what at this time.

I can only keep clasping my fists and saluting around.

In the end, he finally couldn't wipe off his face, and agreed to invite everyone to the Jin King Pavilion for a banquet.

I don't know if the congratulations of these people are sincere, but the knife is really ruthless.

One meal in the Jin King Pavilion could eat at least half of Xiao Yi's previous half year's salary, and these people didn't hesitate to propose it.

On the other side, Ma Zhou was surrounded by a few people, but they were originally better than Ma Zhou.

Now they are getting together and scolding Li Tai for not being a thing.

Li Tai, who was scolded, was still sulking at this time, and walked alone towards the outside of the imperial city.

And Li Zhi naturally had to be slaughtered by Fang Xuanling and others, and went to the Jin King Pavilion to have a good time with alcohol.

In the Jin King Pavilion, Xiao Yi and the others were waiting for a place on the second floor.

The biggest luxury of these low-level officials is that they can only go to the second floor of the Jin King Pavilion to have a meal.

As for the highest third floor, they didn't dare to think about it.

While a few people were waiting and talking, there was a noise at the top of the staircase.

Everyone looked back and happened to see Li Zhi with Fang Xuanling and others coming to eat.

Xiao Yi and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came over to salute a few of them.

Li Zhi returned the salute and asked, "Is there no seat here?" ”

Xiao Yi said: "Back to Your Highness, the business of the Jin King Pavilion is too hot, I still need to wait for a while." ”

After hearing this, Li Zhi asked Pei Mingli, who was following him, "Shopkeeper Pei, is there still a place on the third floor?" ”

Without waiting for Pei Mingli to speak, the shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant spoke: "Back to Your Highness, there is still one." ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Inviting these adults to the third floor for dinner can be regarded as this king's celebration for Lord Xiao." ”

Xiao Yi was so excited that his face turned red after hearing this.

However, he still said in his mouth: "Your Highness is already thanks to His Highness today, how can He let His Highness break the bank?"

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "How can this king's own family property break the bank?" This meal can be regarded as a thank you to Lord Xiao for his help to this king in the past few days. ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for Xiao Yi to reply, and took Fang Xuanling and the others upstairs first.

A group of officials were left to look at Xiao Yi with envy on their faces.

An inspector of the imperial history whispered twice: "Look at the pattern of the king of Jin." ”

A person next to him said: "It seems that Brother Xiao must have given advice to His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

The other person spoke: "Later, you can listen to Brother Xiao talk about the disaster relief process, so that I can wait to see Brother Xiao's methods." ”

Xiao Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This matter is definitely not what you think, wait and listen to the little brother slowly!" ”

After saying this, he went up to the third floor with the others, led by a maid.

After Li Zhi and the others arrived on the third floor, only Pei Mingli was left to serve in person, and Liu An, Chai Long and Duan Shizi guarded the door.

After the wine and food were served, Pei Mingli had just closed the door when he heard Fang Xuanling speak: "The Western Turks suddenly had civil strife, which seriously affected the passage of trade routes.

We have been deliberating for many days and have not yet made up our minds, I wonder what Your Highness thinks? ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "The Western Turks and the surrounding countries must not be separated from the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Datang maritime trade route is about to be opened, the cooperation with the trade route on the road will definitely make my Datang sit firmly on the top of the world.

Once the trade route on the road is blocked, I Datang will be like the one-legged man who can move forward but is struggling. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Does the pheasant slave mean to immediately intervene in the affairs of the Western Turks?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "It seems that the nephew doesn't need to be in a hurry. ”

Dai Xuan asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "What the Tang Dynasty has now adopted against the Western Turks and other countries is a restrained policy.

Although this method seems to save effort, the monarchs of various countries have their own small abacus.

They will not promote Wang Hua for our Datang in their country at all.

In this way, once I, Datang, are restrained and have no intention, he will definitely have two hearts.

Rather than this, it is better to find a reason to completely bring it under the control of the imperial court.

In this way, for a few decades at most, those Turkic people will be assimilated by our Han people. ”

Wang Jue opened his mouth and said: "The territory of the Western Turks is not small, and after it is subdued, the imperial court may not be able to reach it!" ”

Li Zhidao: "The so-called whip is out of reach, but because the road is difficult, I Datang can completely build a cement road to solve it." ”

Wang Qi said: "The cost of building such a long cement road must be a lot, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Datang financial department to support it!" ”

Li Zhi took a bite of the dish and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, relax, wait for me to open the Tang Sea Road, so you will worry about how to spend money..."
