Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"So, there is one thing that I have been thinking about for a long time recently."

"My eldest grandson's lineage is now a queen, a prime minister, and a prince who has already started to deal with state affairs."

"When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow."

"Brother, do you think our eldest grandson's lineage will be too popular?"

"It's easy to attract unnecessary criticism, or even... suspicion?"

Chapter 689

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and then nodded approvingly.

"My lady, what you said is very true."

"Since ancient times, this example of foreign relatives' dictatorship has always been the most condemned and criticized by the world."

"Although at present, my Great Tang Emperor is a sage, and my empress is virtuous."

"But there may still be people who think that my eldest grandson's lineage is too powerful."

"In a short period of time, maybe we don't feel how it is yet."

"But over time, over time, once it breaks out, it is a very tricky and dangerous thing."

"I will go to the Holy Majesty and ask to resign from the phase."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji can say this, there is no falsehood.

Empress Changsun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I'm really glad that you can think about it that way."

"But, I have wronged you, brother."

At this time, Changsun Wuji smiled and waved his hands.

"Ma'am."

"Actually, now, for me, it really doesn't make much difference whether your Majesty and your empress' Hong En are prime ministers or not."

"On the contrary, my resignation can not only block everyone's tongues, but also make progress by retreating, so that my eldest grandson's line will continue to prosper."

"That's a really good thing."

"As long as your mother and your body are in good health, that's the most important thing."

Seeing what Changsun Wuji said, Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.

"Thanks to Qiu'er's miracle medicine."

"Right now, my body is fine."

"Right now, I only look forward to the day when I can recognize Qiu'er."

"I don't know if my brother has talked about this matter with His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji let out a breath and nodded.

"In the past two years, this kid has slaughtered the grasslands, and because of seven lives, he has occupied seven cities in Goguryeo."

"Occupy the entire land of western Liaoning."

"Being domineering and full of hostility."

"Although for me in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a prince or aristocrat, or a commoner."

"They all regard him as the hero of my Tang Dynasty."

"But for those countries and tribes outside, Li Qiu has accumulated great hatred."

"In history, a general like this looks like Bai Qi in the Warring States Period, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu."

"Wait for such a person, the end game is not very good."

"It will be regarded as an ominous sign for a country."

"So, now that Li Qiu is the king of Beiping and a general in the army, maybe he can be calmer."

"No one will say anything more about him."

"This military general was originally to defend the country and open up territories."

"But once Li Qiu announces the identity of the prince, he will become a member of the royal family."

"The meaning of that has changed dramatically."

"Oh, so, my lady, don't worry about this matter."

"When things have stabilized in the past two years and the neighboring countries of Datang no longer cause trouble."

"You can put this matter on the agenda."

……

Later, Changsun Wuji found another suitable time and found Li Shimin.

As Queen Changsun said, please resign from Li Shimin.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately dissatisfied, and told him: I know and employ people based on their talents and character.

I entrust you to be the right servant of Shangshu, what does it have to do with your status as a foreign relative?

In Chang'an City, there are so many foreign relatives and relatives of the emperor, why do I use you more than others?

So you put your heart in the auxiliary machine, with me, no one dares to criticize or slander you.

At present, the internal and external difficulties of the Tang Dynasty are just at the time of employing people.

There are very few available people around me, so you can't just give up.

Although what Li Shimin said was extremely sincere, Changsun Wuji's resignation was even more resolute.

Say what you say and quit.

This really pissed Li Shimin to death.

Changsun Wuji is going to resign if he is doing well. This must be because he heard some slander and small talk in private.

So in the next period of time, these censors were unlucky.

They were often beaten by Li Shimin, and they had to be more serious and responsible when they heard the wind and commented on the performance.

On the other side, Li Shimin asked Gao Shilian and several other people to come to persuade him, but Changsun Wuji was unmoved.

In desperation, Li Shimin had no choice but to go to the position of prime minister of Changsun Wuji's Shangshu Youpushe.

At the same time, the key position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was handed over to Changsun Wuji to take care of it.

Anyway, Hou Junji, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was fighting against Gaochang.

He won't be able to come back for a while, and the key position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the court cannot be vacant.

In this way, at least Changsun Wuji can still participate in the government and play a huge role.

It's better than him staying at home all day without going out the door.

This major appointment change in the court also attracted the attention of the Supreme Emperor.

Ever since, an extremely important plan and plan surfaced in the mind of the Supreme Emperor.

……

Due to the heavy snowfall and weather factors on the grassland.

The battles on the grasslands and in the Yinshan area all stopped.

The army has also returned one after another.

Now only the troops of Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and others are still fighting and confronting each other in the Western Regions.

The rest of the generals in the army have begun to return to Chang'an to return to their orders.

On October 29th, Li Shimin came to Qingshan Palace.

This is the old house where Li Shimin was born, and he has a lot of affection for Li Shimin.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to entertain high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the generals in the army had a good time.

It also has the meaning of cleaning up the dust for everyone.

Basically, the important ministers of the DPRK and most of the high-ranking generals have arrived.

Li Qiu is no exception.

At the banquet, it was quite lively.

Some people wrote poems, some danced, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Lang Lucai is a very talented person in daily life.

For today's banquet, he specially arranged a song "Successful Celebration of Kindness and Joy".

Then let 64 boys line up in eight rows and eight columns to dance "Nine Palaces Dance".

And played together with "Qin Wang Breaking the Array".

Everyone watched with gusto, and Li Shimin was even more joyful and happy.

Even Li Qiu was quite interested in this kind of ancient dance, eating nuts and drinking wine at the same time.

Leisurely and comfortable.

Since returning to Chang'an this time and curing Empress Changsun's illness.

He was always in a good mood.

Mainly nothing to worry about.

But at this moment, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

An important event that will be recorded in the history books followed.

Chapter 690 One Punch

Originally, the battle between the Yinshan Grassland and the Western Turks ceased.

It is a great joy to be able to return to Chang'an City to reunite with family members.

Yuchi Jingde was originally in a good mood and came to drink, chat and laugh with everyone, and drink freely.

But when he came to this Qingshan Palace, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.

Originally, the main purpose of Li Shimin's banquet here today was also to clean up the dust for these generals.

Let the generals who have worked hard for a whole year and fought outside the Great Wall for so long relax.

However, in today's seat arrangement, the previous style is still used.

Civil servants are generally half a standard taller than generals.

Especially those royal relatives who looked like trash in Yuchi Jingde's eyes.

Even many officials who have no real officials, let alone contributions, are ranked ahead of themselves.

Why is this? !

In the beginning, Yuchi Jingde was still rational, but he just drank there alone, sulking.

But as the drunkenness grew stronger, the anger in his heart gradually began to get out of control.

When the banquet entered the later stage, Yuchi Jingde had already drunk too much.

It just so happened that at this moment, a civil servant in front of him went out to make it easy for him to return.

That is, subconsciously glanced at Yuchi Jingde's table next to him.

(Many habits in the early Tang Dynasty were influenced by the culture of the Hu people. Meals were divided, each person had a small table and sat cross-legged on the ground.)

But he never expected that this glance completely ignited the anger that had been suppressed in Yuchi Jingde's heart for a long time.

Immediately he cursed loudly, "You are such a villain, and you have made a lot of contributions to His Majesty and Datang."

"He dared to rank ahead of me."
