Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Before leaving, Li Qiu finally gave everyone a brand-new tea set made by the craftsmen of Furong Academy.

This also made Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others quite satisfied.

Praise Li Qiu as a child who can be taught.

At the same time, I did not forget to ridicule those Confucian courtiers who played the book Li Qiu and reprimanded Furongyuan for its obscene skills.

That same night, a major event happened in the prison of Dali Temple in Chang'an City.

Fan Xing, who has been imprisoned here, chose to commit suicide.

This time, but in the middle of the night, it alarmed too many people.

Several months have passed since the fall of Suizhou City.

But the handling of Fan Xing has been delayed until now.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others did not want such meritorious ministers to die unjustly.

As for almost all the other courtiers, the people of Tang Dynasty, no one wanted him to live.

In such a contradictory state, Fan Xing couldn't bear to embarrass His Majesty and the adults because of himself, and chose to end his own life by himself.

Fortunately, the cell boss who passed by accidentally discovered it in time, and hurriedly called for someone and a doctor, and only then did he be pulled back from the gate of hell.

On the second day, after the early court, Li Shimin also heard about it from Changsun Wuji.

Immediately, his brows were furrowed, and he sighed heavily, "It is I, and this Tang Dynasty, who owe him Fan Xing!"

"Auxiliary machine, you have always been resourceful and resourceful."

"Fan Xing will be handled by you."

"Try to give him an explanation, and there will be a good result."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned around and left, but Changsun Wuji was in trouble.

Then they ran to Shang Shusheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Just at this time, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also there.

(After returning to Chang'an City from Jingzhou, Li Shimin briefly appointed Li Jing as Minister of the Ministry of War, and together with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, better prepared for next year's war situation.)

"As far as Fan Xing is concerned, it is a dead end in itself."

"The reason why it has been delayed for several months and has not been dealt with until now is not because no one has this way?!"

"Now that Fan Xing is dying, His Majesty has entrusted this matter to me."

"If I really have a way, why don't I wait until now?!"

Fang Xuanling sighed faintly at this time, "This matter of Fan Xing, murder, wronged."

"If you don't kill, you can't be angry with the people."

"The mouths are worth a fortune, and the bones are destroyed. In front of the officials and the people, I am afraid that they will survive to the end."

"There is only one ending."

Li Jing also frowned at this time and said: "This court is more treacherous than that battlefield, and it is much more sinister and complicated."

"Fan Xing, he came from a humble background and has always been tolerated by the officials."

"But he is a man of great talent."

"At the beginning in Suizhou, he saw through the conspiracy of the Turks, trapped Suizhou city himself, and came to give me a warning to the army."

"But now, he has seen through this situation again, and used suicide to solve this problem for His Majesty and the court."

"This is a pillar of our Tang Dynasty. It would be a pity if he was killed unjustly."

Listening to what they said, Du Ruhui, who kept fiddling with the small gold teacup in his hand, thought about it and said, "We always thought this was a dead end."

"But now, I seem to see a slight change in this unsolvable situation."

Hearing his words, several people looked at him at the same time.

Du Ruhui put down the teacup in his hand and said two words: "Li Qiu!"

"This kid behaves and thinks completely differently from ordinary people."

"The dead end in our view may not be unsolvable when it comes to him."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji sighed and shook his head.

"It's useless."

"About this matter, I once asked him."

"The kid just said, this matter is simple, let His Majesty or the Ministry of War directly order the release."

"But it's easy for him to say, if I can let him go, I still need to go to him?!"

Du Ruhui said with a smile at this time: "Li Qiu, don't you understand?"

"I have a lazy personality, and I am busy with some messy things all day."

"If you ask him like that, he must have no solution."

"Only when you force him to pay serious attention to this matter, can he come up with a real solution for you."

"As for how to force him?"

"Xuanling, and Li Jing, both of you are famous for your strategy."

"It's up to you to come up with ideas."

Chapter 318 What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd

After hearing this transfer order, even Luo Kexin and Wu Sui were at a loss and couldn't figure out the reason.

In desperation, Li Qiu had to make some preparations and came to the Shangshu province.

Along the way, the gentry officials he saw bowed to him one after another.

However, in terms of eyes and demeanor, there is a sense of coldness and alienation that reject him thousands of miles away.

For this, Li Qiu turned a blind eye.

These officials were unwilling to see Li Qiu, and Li Qiu was too lazy to see them.

When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui arrived, Li Jing and Changsun Wuji were also there.

When they saw him coming, they even had smiles in their eyes.

"Li Qiu, it's pretty fast."

"This young man is just good, and his feet are fast."

Li Qiu, on the other hand, smiled wryly and bowed to them, "My lords, what song are you singing?"

"Why did you let me become the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

Du Ruhui said with a smile at this time: "You kid, don't know what's good or bad."

"In this Ministry of War, there is only one Minister of the Ministry of War and two servants."

"That is related to the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty's army. How powerful is it?"

"Ordinary people just want to be, but they still can't be!"

"Also, isn't Master Sun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, here?"

"You can just ask him."

Seeing Li Qiu's gaze shifted, Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Li Qiu, this is such an important position as the Minister of the Ministry of War."

"My official department does not have the right to appoint people at will."

"So, your position as a servant is personally approved by His Majesty's imperial pen."

"In the past few months, you have been working in this Shangshu Province with peace of mind."

"It just so happens that I can learn more from Xuanling, Keming, and Li Jing."

Old handsome Li Jing also stroked his beard and smiled at this time, "Not bad."

"Before, His Majesty appointed me to concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Now it's appropriate to send you to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Seeing what they meant, Li Qiu's heart couldn't help sinking.

"Let me tell you, my lords, you really won't let me be the servant of the Ministry of War, will you?"

"Do you still have to go to work?"

At this moment, Fang Xuanling nodded his head as a matter of course, "Of course."

"There are only two servants in the entire military department, so they are very busy."

"Of course you have to go to work."

"Don't be late, don't leave early."

"As for your office location, Li Jing's servant, Guo Fushan, is there, and you, Mr. Du and I are here."

At this moment, someone over there cleaned up Li Qiu's desk.

A small table is not big, with daily necessities such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it.

It was not far from the desk of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

After seeing such a scene, Li Qiu was on the verge of crying.

How good would it be for him to be his leisurely prince in the Furong Garden, or return to Youzhou to be his own emperor?

How did you get hired to be the servant of the Ministry of War?

Going out early and returning late, messy affairs every day, and being managed by a bunch of people, it's hell!

Then, he secretly shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.

Inside, he had a faint feeling that something was not quite right.

At this moment, the guard outside just happened to bring in the charcoal stove and tea set brought by Li Qiu.

Then he also smiled and said: "My lords, when I come this time, you can see that in the cold winter season, the palace in Shangshu Province has been in disrepair for a long time, and the cold wind is blowing."

"When I came this time, I happened to bring several carbon stoves and coke."

"And a silver tea set."

"Also keep warm for a few adults, drink tea if you have nothing to do, add some fun."

Seeing this, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others were overjoyed.

"Alright, Li Qiu, you've done a good job at this."

"With your charcoal stove, our room would be much warmer every day."

"Well, this tea set is also good."

"Although it's not jade, gold and silver are also acceptable."

"After that, it would be nice to have some tea at noon or in your spare time!"

Seeing them in a good mood, Li Qiu was just right, and said with a flattering smile, "Well, my lords."

"See if you can spare me?"

"The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is so important. I have little knowledge, let alone strategy, and I really don't deserve it."

"Besides, I live in the Furong Garden, which is too far from the imperial city."

"It's really inconvenient when the gates of the city haven't been opened at the time of going to court every day..."

Listening to his words, Changsun Wuji smiled and put down the silver teapot in his hand.

"According to the court regulations, there are two servants of the Ministry of War."

"Generally, one person goes to court, and the other stays in the Ministry of War to deal with emergency military situations."

"We also know about your situation."

"So this morning, Guo Fushan can go, and you don't have to come so early every day."
