Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Li Qiu's house was almost destroyed.

There are countless people who come to visit, or ask for meetings and invites through various relationships.

It was really Li Shimin's boldness and big moves that greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone including Li Qiu.

For a time, the Peking Palace and Furong Garden were full of people.

The commuters are quite lively.

Among those who came to pay their respects, there were quite a few officials above rank five.

The beauty of the Beiping Palace directly crushed the Wei Palace, which was still very lively before.

In the past, those who came to seek refuge with the King of Wei were poor scholars and grassroots scholars.

But now those who come to visit Li Qiu are all officials from the city of Chang'an who are very serious.

Originally, according to Li Qiu's intention.

It is the most worry-free to simply list and disappear to this group of people.

Anyway, this time he wanted to do the spring plowing well, so he planned to appoint all capable people selected by Youzhou.

However, due to the previous instructions and teachings of the Supreme Emperor.

He still had the patience to answer these officials one by one.

Especially the old relationships left to him by his father-in-law, the samurai Xun.

He answered all of them.

Basically, as long as these people have the intention to come here, and they really have a heart of surrender.

Li Qiujun made arrangements.

After all, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.

The face of the samurai must be taken care of.

And this time the main experimental state capital is the Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou areas where the warriors are located.

It is quite convenient for them to go there to do things.

Except for this group of people.

Some people such as Chai Shao, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Qin Qiong and others found connections here.

Li Qiu also tried his best to do it.

There is nothing to say about this relationship.

Just agree.

Anyway, the level and organizational structure of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are equivalent to those of the Ministry of Industry.

There are also many vacancies.

But as the Supreme Emperor told him before, he can also sell a few favors to princes, nobles, and wealthy gentry.

He did none of it.

There is no reason.

just do not like it.

Moreover, officials who come in through such channels do not know the basics.

Li Qiu also didn't want to mess up the Ministry of Civil Affairs and cause internal friction.

But it's not worth it.

Just when Li Qiu and the Peking Palace were in full swing.

Responses were also varied.

In the Prince's East Palace.

This time Li Chengqian could no longer be as calm as before in the Wei Palace.

Especially amidst the complaints from the confidant ministers below, Li Chengqian became even more angry.

"Hmph, I really don't know what the father thinks."

"I am the crown prince, the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty."

"But so far, there is only such a title."

"And such a big deal about handling Shangshu Province's lawsuit on behalf of him."

"Where is there any other authority?"

"Even spending on daily food and clothing and extra money are monitored and controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Now look at the Peking King Li Qiu again."

"I already hold the military power in my hand, let alone the position of prime minister."

"Right now, the emperor has set up a civil department temporarily for him."

"He even handed over the power of appointing officials under the minister to him."

"It's simply inexplicable."

"How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"If the emperor continues to pamper Li Qiu like this."

"I'm afraid he is about to become the number one official in Zhenguan, isn't he?!"

At this moment, Du Zhenglun, who was at the side, shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't say anything."

"Instances like this are not too far away."

"I remember that in the reign of Wude, isn't the Supreme Emperor treating the current Holy Majesty like this?"

"A large amount of military power is in hand."

"At the same time, he also served as Minister of the Book, and was specially conferred as Admiral Tiance."

"In the end, it even reached the point where there were no officials to seal."

"Not to mention, the current Li Qiu really has a similar posture."

Listening to his joke, everyone including Li Chengqian laughed.

The right is to ease the slightly depressing atmosphere in the room.

In their minds, they naturally would not compare Li Qiu with the King of Qin back then.

To put it bluntly, Li Qiu looked more like a clown in their eyes.

The label of merchant and despicable will never be erased.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.

behind the screen.

When Yixin heard the joke outside, his eyes gradually narrowed into a crack.

As cunning and cold as a fox on the prairie.

For Li Qiu and the Peking Palace now.

One of the countermeasures taken by everyone in the East Palace is to make a memorial for the current situation.

Advise the Holy Majesty not to pamper Li Qiu too much.

The second is to wait to see Li Qiu's jokes.

As for Li Qiu's arrogant words about doubling the output, they naturally wouldn't believe it.

Chapter 788

In Wu Wangfu.

Wu Wang Li Ke and Prime Minister Xiao Yu were also angry because of Li Qiu's scenery.

Xiao Yu repeatedly scolded Li Qiu for being a villain.

As well as His Majesty favoring the villain, this Great Tang is gradually showing signs of subjugation and so on.

Seeing Xiao Yu so angry and extreme, Wu Wang Li Ke couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

My last backer is still old and old after all.

And Li Ke himself is just like this Xiao Yu.

The glory days are over.

The rest will be this precarious situation.

In the past, although Xiao Yu acted extreme, he would control it by himself.

But now he is over sixty years old.

It also involved his late sister Empress Xiao.

So at this time, the resentment towards Li Qiu and the court became even more acute.

Li Ke was afraid in his heart that Xiao Yu was screaming so loudly in his mansion now.

Once the partition wall had ears, it spread to the palace.

I'm afraid that at that time, I will be implicated together.

Ever since, he also said a few words of gentle consolation.

But his kindness was misinterpreted by Xiao Yu.

Very dissatisfied with Li Ke's showing weakness to Li Qiu's pride.

"Ah."

"King Wu, if it is Li Qiu who will suffer."

"If you show your kindness to him, he may even wag his tail at you."

"But now, he is in the limelight, and he is receiving the emperor's favor day by day."

"No matter how much you flatter the past, if you want to get some official positions from that Li Qiu, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Ke couldn't help sighing softly.

"Teacher, you should be clear about my temper."

"Even if I, Li Ke, are in a desperate situation, I will never bow to those lowly merchants."

"No matter how popular he is now, no matter how favored he is, and how much money he makes?"

"One courtier and one courtier."

"In the history books, which courtier like him got a good death?"

"Furthermore, now the emperor is increasingly doting on the crown prince and the two direct sons of the king of Wei."

"My father is too lazy to take a look at me, a bastard with ominous blood in my blood."

"So the official position in Li Qiu's hands is meaningless to us."

"The student comforted the teacher to calm down, but he was only worried about your body, teacher."

"Besides, because of the matter of Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, my father and many people in the court have disliked you, teacher."

"Once the partition has ears, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, teacher."

Hearing Li Ke express his intentions and this explanation.

Only then did Xiao Yu ease his expression.

"Hmph, about these people in the court."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have been dismissed five times."

"Don't you still stand in the position of prime minister now?"
