Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Now His Majesty has asked me to be the right servant of Shangshu, I am not too happy."

"Even if His Majesty forbids me to be a right servant one day, I will not feel any loss or sadness."

"So as long as you do your best for the country and serve the court, I believe you will definitely get the opportunity you deserve."

"At least when I was doing this right-handed shooting, I never looked at the background and background of the recruiter, but only looked at his character and talent."

"As for the vacancy of the Minister of the Ministry of War, I believe there should be a definite number before the New Year's Eve."

"Just go back patiently and wait for the final news."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Qu Hetai also showed his due ecstasy.

He couldn't stop getting up to thank Li Qiu, thanking him again and again.

He could feel that from Li Qiu's words, he had great hope to be promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Li Xiang, even if you don't have the intention of forming a clique, I don't have the selfish desire to do things wholeheartedly for the public."

"But when I walked into your mansion, in the eyes of others, I was also labeled as your place."

"From now on, no matter where you are, my lord, my subordinates will do my best to live up to your esteem for me, my lord."

"To live up to the kindness of the prince."

"It's really a blessing for officials like me to have such an eclectic prime minister like you in the Tang Dynasty who doesn't care about family background."

Listening to Qu Hetai's words, Li Qiu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

However, compared to the political enemies everywhere in the ruling and opposition parties, it is not a bad thing to have a few officials like Qu Hetai.

At least it's more pleasing to the eye and easier to work with.

Afterwards, Li Qiu left Qu Hetai to have dinner in the mansion, Qu Hetai was flattered, hurriedly declined, and left.

As soon as he left, Wu Jue came out from behind the screen.

He approached Li Qiu affectionately, and took his arm.

"Husband, you are now the right servant of the Shangshu."

"It is also a good thing to promote more fringe officials like Qu Hetai on weekdays."

"In the court, there are quite a few people like Qu Hetai who have no foundation or background."

"It's not a bad thing for the husband to win over and promote them more, and let them remember him as a favor."

"However, I always heard from my father that many people like them are not trustworthy."

"Once they gain power in the future, many of them will replace the lintels and have thicker thighs."

"So after several incidents like this happened, it is even more difficult for officials without roots and backgrounds like them to be promoted."

At this point, Wu Jue changed the subject, smiled and shook Li Qiu's arm and said, "Brother Li Qiu, I just received the news that father and mother will be able to return to Chang'an tomorrow."

"Sister Kexin said, leave your husband to me to serve tonight."

"Husband, you have to work hard."

"If there is no movement in my stomach, it will be difficult for people this New Year's Eve."

Hearing this, Li Qiu also laughed and hugged her in his arms and said, "I've told you how many times, this kind of thing, just let things take their course."

"You are still young, there is no need to worry."

"There's no need to drink those decoctions."

"Now, I asked you to do it, Sun Simiao and Meng Shen, they will run away when they see you."

"It's all because of you."

At this time, Wu Jue couldn't help but pouted, "It's not you, my husband."

"Tell Sun Simiao and the others not to prescribe me medicine indiscriminately."

"Even if prescribed, they are all warming and tonic medicines, and they have no effect at all."

"As a woman of your husband, but you can't give birth to your husband, your husband knows how anxious and uncomfortable he is..."

Seeing her aggrieved and about to cry, Li Qiu naturally comforted her constantly.

He promised her that he would work hard at night, but he was afraid that she would have to beg for mercy again.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wu Jue's complexion turned red again.

……

The next day, Li Qiu originally thought about taking a day off to wait for the return of the warrior Xun and his family.

But Wu Jue disagreed with everything.

Li Qiu is now the prime minister of the court, and the busiest minister among the prime ministers.

Never ask for leave because of such an insignificant personal matter.

Even if the samurai Xun knew about it, he still had to say that Wu Xun was wrong.

As a result, Li Qiu, who originally planned to take a day off from work and sleep in, had to get up at three o'clock in the morning and wash up.

Then headed in a carriage in the cold wind.

He really had enough of this kind of inhumane thing of getting up every morning.

Chapter 731 The Ferocious Roar From the Prince

Outside the Taiji Gate, in the corridor where all the officials waited to go up.

Prince Li Chengqian in a yellow robe stood proudly among the crowd.

Surrounded by people who are constantly complimenting and currying favor with him.

Ever since Li Chengqian's foot disease healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Coupled with Li Chengqian's efficiency and ability in the trial of criminal cases in Shangshu Province.

Li Shimin's attitude towards the prince has also undergone a very intuitive change.

They say they treat their own children the same way.

But how can a bowl of water be leveled?

With the continuous benefits from Li Chengqian's side, more and more courtiers came to guard and follow him.

On Wei Wang Li Tai's side, although it was not as lively as Li Chengqian's, it still maintained a certain scale.

Due to the existence of the Li Tai Literature Museum, he still has a lot of die-hard followers.

And like Wu Wang Li Ke, there are some officials around him, chatting there.

On the other hand, Li Qiu's side was deserted.

In fact, when he first started waiting for the morning court, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others had all stood firmly by his side.

And Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others would occasionally come over to chat.

But Li Qiu never cared about other people's opinions and gazes.

Quite tired and lazy, he was quite sleepy because he didn't want to get up in the morning.

Not much better than sleepwalking.

In addition, he intentionally stood on the edge, so Wang Gui and others who knew him very well ignored him.

Let him go in a daze.

But today, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

When Li Chengqian's eyes found Li Qiu, his eyes narrowed slightly.

His eyes were full of hostility.

Ever since Li Chengqian started taking the forbidden medicine in the medicine wheel bag that Xinxin gave him, his whole person has undergone very obvious changes from the inside out.

From being cowardly before, gradually becoming tyrannical, cruel, and vicious.

As far as his change is concerned, Wei Wang Li Tai felt the most obvious.

In the past, Li Tai, with a smiling face and tiger style, liked to use words to irritate and tease his overly elegant and weak brother.

But in the past two months, whenever he came to provoke him like before.

Li Chengqian's different eyes always make him feel scared.

As a result, the number of provocations that came over was much less.

This forbidden medicine from the great shaman in the grassland not only made Li Chengqian more controlled by Xinxin.

It also made him hate Li Qiu even more, just like Yi Xin.

Afterwards, under the amazed eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian walked straight towards Li Qiu.

Ready for a duel at any time, the same angry bison stood in front of Li Qiu like an angry bison.

Seeing the prince walking towards him in such an imposing manner, and then standing there, Li Qiu's originally drooping upper eyelids slightly lifted up.

According to the etiquette, he bowed his hands and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

In fact, in Li Chengqian's mind, Li Qiu's negligence and disregard for him was the thing that annoyed him the most.

This clearly meant that Li Qiu didn't even have the hostility to regard himself as an opponent.

There is a kind of lion on the grassland who looks down on a Shiba dog.

He didn't even want to stand up.

"Hmph, what a majestic King of Peking, right servant shoots."

"At this time, you can't see that you are domineering and daring to deal with the government affairs of the DPRK and China."

"This king asks you, who proposed to rectify temples, suppress Buddhism, and dismiss monks and nuns all over the world, but what did you do?"

Listening to his rambling nagging for a long time, Li Qiu, who got up early in the morning and was very sleepy, both mentally and physically uncomfortable, frowned.

Then, he replied impatiently: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"That decree was indeed made by me."

"If your Highness has any doubts, you can raise them in the courtroom later."

"Or directly ask His Majesty to invalidate this decree."

This decree on the rectification of temples in the world was sorted out and revised by Wang Gui, reviewed by Li Shimin, and released on the same day.

If it could be changed, Li Chengqian, who believes in Buddhism the most, would have changed it long ago.

How could they wait here to vent their anger on Li Qiu.

"Oh, King of Peiping, you don't have to rely on your father's favor, you feel confident."

"I don't know how many times before, for the mother's condition and my Tang's safety."

"I knelt before the Buddha statue and made great wishes."

"As long as I can survive the catastrophe in the Tang Dynasty and my mother can recover, I will build three thousand temples."

"To support the gods and Buddhas."

"But now, these [-] temples and temples have to be demolished by you before they are completed."

"It really doesn't make sense."

"Your crimes are too numerous to write down, and both humans and gods are outraged."

"Hmph, maybe it is. Only people like you who have no parents, lack education, and don't understand filial piety can do such absurd things!"

The more Li Chengqian talked, the more excited he became.

In the end, he growled almost with a ferocious face.

His performance was something no one had seen before.

Therefore, all the courtiers waiting here looked at Li Chengqian with extremely shocked eyes.

Look towards him and Li Qiu.

In the entire hall and corridor, there was complete silence.
