At Yuan Tiangang's residence, an old man came today and sat opposite Li Yunxiao.

"Zhi'er has really grown up, even if he is an old man, he never thought of such a plan."

"Well, it's also Goguryeo who cooperates, making trouble during this time period and asking for hardship."

"Alas... Zhi'er's next target may be me, hehehe..."

There was a hint of relief in the old man's eyes, as if he had expected this to happen.

The person who came was the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Yunxiao said lightly: "In the final analysis, you are also the founder of Taizong, even if Li Zhi has a way, he will push you far away, you sue the official and return to your hometown, I can help you live in Chang'an City." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head: "Excuse me, I still want to see what means Zhi'er wants to use against me." ”

"I didn't come here to ask you, but I wanted to give you a word of advice, that Wu Zhao is not a simple character, and he has a lot of plans in his heart, you have to be careful."

"I know."

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head and looked at Li Yunxiao deeply.

"Seriously, old man, I have been in the court for decades, except for the first emperor, I can't see through you, from the defeat of the Turks to the present, you never seem to participate in the government politics, but I always seem to be able to feel your presence in it."

"I estimate that I don't have many years to live, you and I have known each other for decades, can you tell me, who are you, what are you trying to do?"

"Me..." Li Yunxiao looked outside the pavilion and muttered to himself, "I'm just a money-hungry person who doesn't return." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji sneered and shook his head.

"Okay, I'm leaving, lest I stay for a long time and be seen and hurt you."

Li Yunxiao glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji: "If you can think about him from the beginning and don't covet power, you won't be like this, Li Zhi will be the same as when I first came, but people will always grow up." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was suddenly stunned, turned his head to look at Li Yunxiao and said, "Emperor, you are wrong about this sentence, do you think I don't know how to treat children?" ”

"Actually, I originally wanted to join hands with Zhi'er to create a new Tang Dynasty, but Zhi'er never did this, he had his own ideas and didn't want to go to me!"

"Heh, you let an emperor unite you, but you can think of it, he is still an emperor in the final analysis, a person who has been educated by Taizong for several years, how can he unite others in a low voice?"

The eldest grandson Wuji did not argue with Li Yunxiao more: "Okay, I'm leaving." ”

The words fell, and the eldest grandson Wuji got up to leave.

After a while, Li Yunxiao took a deep breath and stood on the edge of the pavilion watching the eldest grandson Wuji slowly leave.

"Why do so many people have to wait until the end to come to their senses..."

....

Xianqing for three years.

Li Zhi spent more than a year to coexist in East Luoyang and West Chang'an, integrating the Quartet and respecting the imperial power, which also represents the arrival of a new era.

Now he has a bright face, and with Wu Meiniang, like a triumphant victory, he returns to Chang'an, which has been absent for a long time.

Headed by Li Yifu, all the following officials went out of the city to greet them.

At this time, Chang'an City has changed greatly, there are no more ministers, no objections, no resistance, and every face is respectful and obedient.

Li Zhi did not choose to take the imperial chariot, but rode into the city on horseback, and walked from Suzaku Street.

Because of the previous year of tax exemption, not long ago another big victory, the people cheered.

Li Zhi looked at the people on both sides, how could the word happiness be compared in his heart?

And the first big thing he did when he came back was to be crowned an official!

Li Yifu handled government affairs, and the staff officer made great contributions, and he was worthy of being the first meritorious hero of the dynasty.

Now that he is the prime minister, Li Zhi made him a prince of the county and gave him a mansion, and his children were also rewarded.

It can be described as full of wealth and wealth, beyond the reach of the dynasty.

When everyone was happy, only one person stood on top of the court with his hands behind his back, which looked a little unusual.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at everything in front of him in a daze.

It seemed that every face was extremely unfamiliar, and his old buddies had really all disappeared.

And now there is only him, the elder of the three dynasties, left in the court, no, it should be that he is the only withered old tree left, cumin standing here.

Here, it is no longer the country that he assisted the first emperor to fight.

Li Yifu's eyes wandered on the side, he glanced at the person next to him, and walked over with the scroll in front of him in his arms.

"Taiwei, you once led the lowly people to write a book of rites, and now the canonization of the queen and even the imperial mausoleum are all presents, the strategy of the first emperor is good, but the Tang Dynasty always has to exchange the new for the old."

"This writing gift, why don't you go and present it to the saint, maybe Your Majesty will be happy, and you..."

"Huh." The eldest grandson Wuji interrupted him with a faint smile.

Li Yifu, the person he picked up at the beginning, now has surpassed him in power.

"Good or bad, my eldest grandson Wuji is no longer worthy of judgment, but you Li Yifu is really scheming."

Li Yifu sighed, he couldn't say why he was so bitter.

Even if he is a normal clean or corrupt official, but now he just looks glamorous, but in fact, many people behind him are holding whips!

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment, sighed, and stretched out his hand to take the writing gift.

Then he took a deep breath, as if he had served Li Shimin back then, and walked respectfully in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi first glanced at Li Yifu, this thing should have been presented by him, but now how did he become the eldest grandson Wuji?

Li Yifu's throat rolled, and he lowered his head silently.

Li Zhi didn't say anything about this, and it was in line with his heart to let the eldest grandson Wuji present it himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister is in poor health, so he retired first..."

After handing in the writing gift, the eldest grandson Wuji looked around again, and then got up and left without looking back.

He knows that this Datang no longer needs him, and his time has passed.

Xianqing entered the winter in the third year.

The hero of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Chigong died of illness, and with his death, all the grievances of Li Shimin's era turned into dust.

After his death, he was posthumously presented as Situ, and the governor of the state, the number, the loyal martial force, and the burial of Zhaoling.

At the same time, another person died with him, and he was good.

Although he was demoted to a commoner, his life in the past two years was quite passable, but it was also pure.

It's a pity that he still lives in Li Shimin's era, and he always thinks about the first emperor in his heart and closes his eyes.

Xianqing for four years.

The eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to resign, and Li Zhi immediately nodded and agreed.

And after he left, all the forces related to the eldest grandson Wuji were purged by Li Zhi and taken under him.

And at this time, he also respected the most powerful imperial power in hundreds of years!

But prosperity must decline, and when Datang continues to expand its territory, those countries on the border smell danger.

Li Zhi changed his benevolent government at this time, no longer sticking to Wu Zhao, but began to devote his energy to complicated state affairs.

Now that the soldiers are strong and strong, there are tens of thousands of muskets and grenades in his hands, the ambition in his heart is stronger than Li Shimin, he wants to expand, expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and let the world remember him as the emperor!
