Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

It took Liu Bai half a month to consult countless materials, and then he drew this, the Tang version of "Wan Guokun Tutu".

To the east of Liaodong, a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, was marked in blood red by Liu Bai!

"Goguryeo?"

Both Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao were experts in warfare, and they knew where it was just by looking at it.

Liu Bai shook his head, and said, "Not only Goguryeo, but also Baekje, Silla, and the sphere of influence of the Mohe people!"

Chai Shao frowned, pondered for a long time, and said: "These places must be taken down. Today, His Majesty advocates the integrity of the world and the corner of Kyushu. How can we not take it back? It's just"

Cheng Yaojin followed his words and said, "It's just that now is not the time to attack them."

He pointed to the location of Goguryeo and went all the way south until he landed in Chang'an City.

"It's a full three thousand eight hundred miles. I'm afraid that many soldiers will be lost on the march alone. In addition, Goguryeo has a long winter. It is covered with ice and snow for seven or eight months throughout the year. It can really freeze the stones." place"

Speaking of this, he paused, as if he didn't want to refute Liu Bai's face.

Then, he continued: "The three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty did not turn out to be ideal."

Chai Shao shook his head, and said: "Furthermore, Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom. Even if you want to attack Goguryeo, you must have a suitable reason. Otherwise, if you don't mention what people from other races think, I'm afraid His Majesty will not agree!"

Liu Bai slapped a secret performance on the table.

This is the Tudou incident. After it came to an end, Liu Bai wrote it down and planned to hand it over to Li Er at the right time.

"That's the reason!"

Chapter 359 That's right!Without the three provinces, the imperial decree is invalid

Before, Liu Bai didn't want to put the conquest of Goguryeo on the agenda too early.

But now the situation is different!

Firstly, the opportunity for a reason is rare, and secondly, it is also because he will enter Chang'an soon.

The power of the Liu family is gradually shifting towards Chang'an.

Including the transfer of major shops, manpower, and money and food.

Of course, this does not mean that Jingyang should be given up.

As the base camp of the big ship of the Liu family, Jingyang's status is incomparable.

Moreover, the Liu family's ancestral house and ancestral grave are all there, even if they are in Chang'an most of the time, they still have to pick out a little time every year to go back to Jingyang to live.

After entering Chang'an City, we can't do without enough helpers.

Don't look at Liu Bai's days of living in harmony with those ministers in the court and many princes and nobles.

That's just because the Liu family didn't touch their interests.

There is still a big difference between merchants and officials.

This is also the reason why Liu Bai wants to establish a good relationship with Fang Xuanling and others, even the princes.

Once entering Chang'an, the people around will instantly condense into a huge interest group with Liu Bai as the core.

At that time, it will be impossible not to confront others.

The criticism from the DPRK and the Central Committee is not comparable to the current small fights!

Moreover, Li Er could no longer protect Liu Bai in the name of a merchant.

Expedition to Goguryeo!

It is the best opportunity!

In the Turkic War, Liu Bai only captured Xieli alive.

Li Jing and the others also contributed a lot. Even if it wasn't the first contribution, they could share some broth to drink.

But Liu Bai must firmly hold the credit of Goguryeo in his hands!

Not to mention the broth, he doesn't even want others to smell it!

To put it bluntly, Liu Bai has already started planning to cultivate his own party members!

It's not for rebellion, nor for fighting for the front. I just want myself and the people around me to have more life-saving capital in the maelstrom of the imperial court.

He knew very well that the destruction of the Cui family, the Wang family, and even the Pei family was all done by small means.

Those other aristocratic families must be on guard.

To confront each other again, we must rely on strength!

Strength is the last word!

He didn't tell Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao what the timing of the expedition to Goguryeo was, he just asked them to prepare earlier.

Some things don't show enough value until the last moment.

Cheng Yaojin took a deep look at Liu Bai, but didn't ask any further questions.

"When you go to Chang'an again, come to Uncle's house!"

Obviously, he also understood Liu Bai's plan, and planned to give Liu Bai the 'things' he had accumulated over the years!

Chai Shao narrowed his eyes and said, "I will also call the old man at that time!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded, took another deep look at Liu Bai, and turned to Chai Shao, "It's getting late, let's go!"

Li Er was not in the palace, and above the court, it seemed that he was much more stable than before.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this stability is just the prelude to a storm.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed!

The ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival!

The folks have the custom of climbing high to pray for blessings and worshiping gods and ancestors.

Court officials did not have this blessing, not even a day off.

Ever since Empress Chen's sensuality, drinking and having fun on the Double Ninth Festival a few decades ago led to the defeat of Jiankang City, the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties all felt that this festival was extremely disgusting.

Not only the sacrificial ceremonies handed down from ancient times were cancelled, but also the holidays of civil and military officials were eliminated.

Therefore, on this day, ministers still have to 'go to work' as usual.

Today's court meeting is different from the past.

Even Fang Xuanling didn't expect that Wynn would appear in the official residence of the three provinces!

As for Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu and others, their complexions also darkened.

Some civil and military officials were full of joy, while others lowered their eyebrows.

It seems that what is going to happen has already been guessed.

Wynn slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand.

"The emperor's decree said: There are grandsons today"

On this day, Changsun Wuji finally entered the center!

"Join, Changsun Wuji entered Kaifu Yitong Third Division, hereditary governor of Zhaozhou, and added Zhong Shuling!"

Zhongshu Ling is the chief of Zhongshu Province.

In other words, from now on, Changsun Wuji has been on an equal footing with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui!

Among the officials, many people who were close to the grandson's family celebrated with each other, almost jumping up and down and cheering.

But those who did not deal with the eldest grandson's family were not only unhappy, but also fearful.

Changsun Wuji has become the prime minister, their good days are coming to an end

Different from his usual calmness, Changsun Wuji was actually somewhat excited.

Originally, he should have been included in the position of prime minister last year, but it was a pity that Liu Bai messed up the situation.

After a year of dormancy, I don't know how many benefits I gave up on my own initiative, and then I finally ascended to the position of prime minister.

The sadness in it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Under normal circumstances, he would not bow down to Li Ershi.

But today is different, even if the award ceremony is a bit shabby, the position is real.

Just when Changsun Wuji was about to bow down, a man stood up suddenly.

"Wait!"

The person who spoke was none other than Gao Shilian!

Although he and Yu Shinan entered the academy, their official positions in the three provinces were not dismissed.

Under normal circumstances, they will work in the academy, but they have to come back when there are important events in the three provinces.

Fang Xuanling and the others bowed their heads and remained silent.

No matter how unhappy they were, they couldn't open their mouths to stop them.

Once they speak, it means that they will become Changsun Wuji's endless enemies!

Gosselin was different.

First of all, he is the oldest among the founding heroes, and at the same time, he is also one of the three princes of the dynasty, Sikong!

The power is not great, but the status is higher than the prime minister!

Secondly, even if he stops Changsun Wuji, don't be afraid.

Because he is the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun!

Wynn kept his face expressionless. He put away the imperial decree and said, "I don't know what advice Mr. Gao has?"

Gao Shilian said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty's order to appoint a minister should have been discussed by the three provinces, drafted and deliberated by the Zhongshu, and filed under the order of the sect. As a servant, why didn't I know about it?"

In fact, it wasn't once or twice that Li Er issued an imperial edict without going through the three provinces.

No one can disobey his majesty, his meaning is God's will!

But this kind of thing is hard to say.

Even Fang Xuanling and the others could only cover for him.

With one sentence, Gao Shilian directly put the matter on the bright side!

It stands to reason that without the imperial decree of the three provinces, it has no effect at all!

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Gao Shilian indifferently, and said lightly: "Lord Gao, what you mean is that His Majesty treats government affairs like a child's play, and made decrees without your consent?"

These words can be described as heart-breaking words!

However, Gao Shilian didn't even frown, and said straightforwardly: "That's right! Without three inspections, the imperial decree is invalid!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Chapter 360 Take back the imperial decree that sealed the jade seal?

Ten years ago, the relationship between the uncle and nephew was very good.

Changsun Wuji's brother and sister lost their father when they were young. At that time, Changsun Wuji was only ten years old.

Later, he was adopted by his uncle Gao Shilian, until he rebelled under Li Er's command.

It can be said that he was completely brought up by Gao Shilian.

After Li Er ascended the throne, the relationship between the two took a turn for the worse!

So much so that until now, it has completely torn skin!

The reason is also due to the attitude of the uncle and nephew towards the eldest grandson empress.

Gao Shilian was originally from an aristocratic background, but he was the grandson of Gao Yue, king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

He is proud of helping the world, even if he became a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he would never do anything in the name of his niece, the eldest grandson empress.

In his opinion, the identity of a foreign relative seems to be a bit embarrassing. No matter how much credit he has, it will be passed down as being under the care of the queen.

Even, once someone mentioned the identity of his relatives, he would turn his face.
