Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

What's more, Qu Hetai's first son had just been born at that time.

No one wants to die at this time.

Moreover, when Qu Hetai expressed his heart to Li Qiu at the beginning, he said it quite straightforwardly.

Said that he himself is a layman who wants to be promoted, but has no background.

From then on, after he took refuge in Li Qiu's team, as long as his performance could score above nine points.

So for now, he is at the edge of a core in the Hibiscus Garden.

He is much better than outsiders, but compared to the absolute cores like Song You, Ma Zhou, and Gao Jifu, he is still a mile away.

Chapter 976 Could it be that your family opened this imperial court?

Just after the big and urgent things in front of me came to an end.

Li Qiu also found a free time and went to the imperial study to give advice.

What he did was Wang Gui's business.

Back then, Wang Gui was dismissed by Prince Li Chengqian and sent to Tongzhou to serve as governor.

In the blink of an eye, more than five months passed.

But the Holy Majesty and the imperial court still didn't have the slightest intention to transfer Wang Gui back.

Before Li Shimin had just returned to Chang'an City.

Wei Zheng went to see him, but was rejected by Li Shimin coldly.

At that time, it was in a period of severe flooding.

The court is even more restless because of the prince's misbehavior.

The timing is not right to talk about it either.

Therefore, Li Qiu and Wei Zheng also focused their energy on other aspects.

But now, the floods are peaceful, and Datang's wars against the Western Regions have also succeeded one after another.

As the New Year's Eve is approaching again, it's time to bring up the matter of Wang Gui again.

In the royal study.

After hearing Li Qiu's request to see him, Li Shimin was still in a good mood.

Directly announce Li Qiu's audience.

Looking at Li Qiu's outstanding talent and energetic temperament, Li Shimin's heart is also affirmed with satisfaction.

However, when Li Qiu cut straight to the point and pleaded for Wang Gui directly.

Li Shimin frowned.

Ever since Li Qiu stepped into the court's field of vision.

He has been supported by Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Chai Shao and others.

Support him everywhere and say good things.

Among these people, every one of them is a famous figure in history.

A pure politician.

But now it's Li Qiu who wants to support Wang Gui, no matter the expression or the timing.

It's all downright bad.

Straightforward, reckless, jerky, and even a bit rude.

For his request, Li Shimin didn't even hesitate.

It was a tactful refusal.

Let him concentrate on his duties.

As for the rest, the imperial court has its own discretion, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Hearing this, Li Qiu naturally refused to give up.

Let's just say that Wang Gui has devoted himself to the court and His Majesty over the years.

Even if there is no credit, there is still a little hard work.

How could he be treated so unfairly all of a sudden?

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin also became angry at the moment.

"Oh, unfair treatment?"

"You really thought that a prime minister was dismissed from the court."

"I really don't hear or ask?"

"Since you said that Wang Gui was treated unfairly, then I will ask you."

"At the beginning, Wang Gui went to Furong Garden to inform you that you were going to Tibet as an envoy before the court's decree was announced?"

"As a servant, leaking the secret language of the palace, do you think this is a trivial matter?!"

"In the end, the prince used this as an excuse to remove Wang Gui and order him to be the governor of Tongzhou. What's wrong with that?"

Hearing Li Shimin's series of questioning, Li Qiu couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

I couldn't say anything for a while.

What the crown prince and Donggong designed for Wang Gui was a conspiracy.

And Wang Gui did not hesitate at all, and voluntarily stepped into this trap with his eyes open.

Just to give Li Qiu a ray of life, he didn't want Li Qiu to go to Tubo to take risks.

So every time I think of the kind of care and friendship that Wang Gui has shown me over the years.

Li Qiu also felt sore in his heart.

Li Shimin couldn't bear to see Li Qiu's rare expression of being stunned and at a loss.

So he frowned and said, "I have also considered the matter of Wang Gui."

"It's just that there is no suitable position for him in the capital right now."

"If he is called back at this time, his position will be low, and his heart will be chilled."

"Let's discuss this matter later."

Hearing this, Li Qiu immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty's censure, I deeply appreciate it."

"It's just that I'm here to implore His Majesty this time, not because I want Wang Gui to return to being a high-ranking official."

"Maybe His Majesty doesn't know about it. For the past two years, Wang Gui has been plagued by old illnesses."

"This time I went to Tongzhou, and after a bumpy journey, I even came to the point of being bedridden."

"Even if the minister urgently sent a good doctor and a lot of medicinal materials, Wang Gui is old after all."

"The body is not as good as before."

"This time, I just want to implore Your Majesty to recall him to the capital."

"To be able to reunite with family, relatives and friends in old age."

"If there is really no suitable position, the minister is also willing to let the right servant shoot the position to him..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Shimin slapped the table directly.

Then he yelled sharply: "Bastard!"

"Do you think this imperial court is run by your family?!"

"Whatever you want, just do it?!"

"I don't know how many people have devoted their lives to the position of Prime Minister, but they can't get it."

"When I come to you, how can I have the slightest respect?!"

"Next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Then, under Li Shimin's scolding.

Li Qiu sighed deeply and bowed to leave.

After he left, Li Shimin was also upset and rubbed his temples.

How did Xindao have such a stubborn, stubborn, careless enemy.

But after being sullen for a while, Li Shimin took out two memorials from the drawer beside him.

What was mentioned above was really the fact that Li Qiu, King of Peking, sent a famous doctor and several carts of precious herbs for Tongzhou governor Wang Gui for personal gain.

At that time, Li Shimin was busy with government affairs and was in a state of desperation.

He simply threw these memorials aside, as before, without even looking at them.

Li Shimin still knows the strength of Li Qiu Furong Garden and the precious medicinal materials they have in stock.

It is not inferior to the one in the palace.

So Li Qiu sent his own doctor to send his own medicinal materials, this kind of thing sounds too much at first glance.

But if you think about it carefully, you don't break the law at all.

But now looking back and thinking about it, I have overlooked a crucial point.

That was Wang Gui's disease!

What made Li Qiu treat it so seriously was that Wang Gui's situation at that time was really not optimistic.

Chapter 977

I think after the change of Xuanwu Gate.

Li Shimin made an exception and reused Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Li Anyan and many other people around the former prince.

And Wang Gui, since then, has been serving beside Li Shimin as the prime minister of the province.

Do your best.

He has shared too much government affairs for Li Shimin.

It is also Li Shimin's side, besides Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the most suitable candidates.

Li Shimin is a nostalgic person.

After calming down at this moment, he thought of the scene when Wang Gui was working hard by his side in the past.

I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

It turned out that before I knew it, many people around me were already old.

……

On the other side, after hitting a snag.

Li Qiu's mood was also a little depressed.

Being reprimanded is secondary.

Just watching the new year approaching, Wang Gui's body and age.

But it was too late to be transferred back to Chang'an to reunite with relatives and friends.

Li Qiu really felt sorry for Wang Gui's injustice.

He was in a bad mood, and when it came to dealing with the government affairs of the DPRK and China, he dealt with them more simply and concisely.

First, the Ministry of Punishment of the imperial court presented a memorial to Li Shimin.

It is said that today's major crimes such as rebellion are subject to the law.

The brother was not punished as a slave without an official, and the punishment was too light, so he asked to be executed together.

Li Shimin has always been quite cautious about the formulation and revision of laws and regulations.
