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

But Changsun Wuji's attitude is completely different.

He is more willing to regard the identity of this foreign relative as a bargaining chip for his superiority.

Perhaps in his eyes, family affection is far inferior to the power in his hands.

This is also the reason why in recent years, Empress Changsun has a lot of respect for Gao Shilian, but she has gradually alienated Changsun Wuji.

Especially in Changsun Wuji's attitude of supporting Li Tai overtly and secretly, he was somewhat disgusted by Empress Changsun.

If the brother and sister hadn't been dependent on each other since they were young, they might have turned against their eldest grandson Wuji.

Regarding Gao Shilian's opposition, Changsun Wuji was not at all surprised.

He sneered, and said: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and you can follow what you say. Could it be that Mr. Gao wants His Majesty to take back the imperial decree that sealed the jade seal?"

"Exactly!"

Gao Shilian was still relentless.

Hundreds of officials talked about it, and many people looked at Gao Shilian with unkind eyes.

In today's court, if anyone wants to say who is the most powerful, it must be Changsun Wuji.

In fact, with his achievements, he is indeed enough to become a prime minister.

Among the six tribes and nine temples, more than half are loyal to Changsun Wuji, and it's strange to see someone jumping out to block the way, so it's strange to have a good face.

Chu Suiliang, the 'number one general' under Changsun Wuji, stood up immediately.

"My lord Gao's words are definitely suspected of being treasonous. If His Majesty hears it, I don't know how he will feel!"

Gao Shilian glanced at Chu Suiliang coldly, "What are you?"

Chu Suiliang's face changed, he didn't expect Gao Shilian to speak so badly.

"Lord Gao, I am the servant of the Yellow Gate appointed by His Majesty, why are you?"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Shilian held his sleeves for a while, "I am the third prince of the court. You are a fourth-rank official, how can you have a dialogue with me? Step down!"

Chu Suiliang blushed and was about to argue when Changsun Wuji waved him back.

He took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, I don't know why you don't want to forgive me?"

As he spoke, he faced Fang Xuanling and the others.

"In terms of achievements, my eldest grandson Wuji is the number one. In terms of background, my father is from the Shangzhu Kingdom of the former Sui Dynasty, and my mother is from the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty! Being stationed in the center is the right thing to do!"

One's background, above the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, is also a very important capital.

If you count them carefully, you will find that more than [-]% of the officials above the fifth rank in the imperial court are of noble origin.

Li Er himself was a great nobleman in the former Sui Dynasty!

In terms of civilians, there are not many

Du Ruhui glanced at the agitated eldest grandson Wuji, and then quietly winked at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling nodded imperceptibly.

Both of them knew that if they continued to confront each other like this, there would be a big accident sooner or later.

"Calm down, both of you, for the time being, I think that the imperial decree should be temporarily sealed, and I will ask His Majesty's intentions, and then make a decision."

Fang Xuanling, as the chief assistant of the dynasty, did have the power to seal up the imperial decree.

The veins on Gao Shilian's forehead popped out, and the beard on his chin kept shaking. It is conceivable how angry he was.

But he also knew that Changsun Wuji's entry into Zhongshu was a certainty, and no one else could change it.

What if we continue to make trouble?

It's just a delay.

When the limelight passes, Changsun Wuji should become prime minister, or will he become prime minister

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, stopped looking at a few people, and instead bowed his hands to Wynn.

"There's Laurie!"

Wynn remained expressionless, and he just nodded slightly.

"My maidservant, hurry to Jiucheng Palace now, and ask His Majesty what he means!"

A court meeting broke up unhappy!

All the officials left one after another, and only Fang Xuanling and others were left among the official residences of the three provinces.

Gao Shilian walked back and forth, and finally came to the table with a 'bang'.

"Lawless! Give him a few more years, wouldn't the court become his court alone?! Where is the country? Where is the dynasty?!"

If Changsun Wuji was dedicated to serving the people and being honest, no one would stop him from entering Zhongshu.

But everyone knows that Changsun Wuji's ambition is a bottomless cliff.

When he was still in Shangshu Province, he dared to take the six books as his own, so what will happen when he becomes the prime minister?

In the presence, which one didn't struggle desperately in the strong wind and waves?

They understand too well that once something like ambition grows, it will never end.

If one day, Changsun Wuji had some unreasonable thoughts in his heart, then the world would return to the terrible era of the end of the Sui Dynasty!

It's not like they haven't seen millions of dead bodies, starved to death everywhere!

Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled wryly.

"The ending can't be changed. According to His Majesty's temperament, how can it be possible to take it back?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do! It's been too long, and if he is not allowed to enter the Zhongshu, he will definitely incite all the officials. Instead of being forced to step down, it is better to issue an edict directly now!"

Dai Zhou, the youngest official, said cautiously: "Do you want to ask Liu Bai's opinion?"

Since the formation of this new interest group, Liu Bai has been their backbone.

What Dai Zhou said is also very reasonable.

But after he finished speaking, everyone frowned.

Gao Shilian was even more unceremonious and directly reprimanded him.

"Stupid! In two more months, Liu Bai will enter Chang'an! At this time, he is the last thing to show up. Do you want Liu Bai to be criticized by all the officials as soon as he enters the court?!"

Dai Zhou trembled in fright, but muttered in his mouth.

"I still think it's better to ask him."

Fang Xuanling asked Gao Shilian to sit down and let him calm down.

"What Xuanyin said can't be wrong. No one knows how many 'magic treasures' are hidden in Liu Bai's pocket. Ask him, maybe we can find a way. It's better, just worry about it here."

Chapter 361 Every fool knows that Liu Bai wants to make a big ticket

Liu Bai soon learned of the news of Li Er's edict.

After the court meeting was over, Han Tong flew back to Liu's house and told Liu Bai everything that happened at that time.

As the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the fourth grade, he is qualified to participate in the court meeting.

In Liu Bai's eyes, if Li Er is a real dragon, then Changsun Wuji is a giant kun in the deep sea that has not yet transformed into a roc.

It lies dormant in the water and will not be noticed.

But once a strong wind blows, this Kun will surface and soar up!

It is even possible to feed on real dragons!

Liu Bai was not surprised when he learned that Li Er had issued an edict to seal Changsun Wuji as Zhongshu Ling.

Regardless of whether Li Er likes Changsun Wuji or not, credit cannot be faked.

Otherwise, he would not have made his eldest grandson Wuji No. 1 in Lingyan Pavilion!

Not rewarding meritorious service is not in line with the way of an emperor.

If the whole court is dissatisfied with him, he, the emperor, will be finished.

Therefore, Liu Bai knew from the very beginning that it was only a matter of time before Changsun Wuji became prime minister.

But since they have already torn their faces, Liu Bai doesn't mind mixing the water.

One day later is one day, in short, it is right not to make Changsun Wuji feel better.

So, Liu Bai took his favorite silver pot, strolled under the wintersweet tree in the yard, and started to make tea.

The handle teapot made of silver will have a different taste when used to make tea, which is definitely not comparable to teapots.

Curly fragrance, refreshing.

Just when the tea was ready, it happened that Fang Xuanling and others came to the door!

"sit!"

Liu Bai pointed to the surrounding stone piers that had just been moved.

Fang Xuanling and the others knew at a glance that Liu Bai had already understood their reason for coming.

"Think of a way!"

Holding the teacup, Fang Xuanling took a light sip.

I don't know what happened, but as soon as they entered the gate of Liu's house, their restless mood instantly calmed down.

Maybe it's because of the fragrance of tea, or maybe it's their trust in Liu Bai.

"Wait, there's still no one here."

Liu Bai said while filling some spring water into the teapot.

The water he used to make tea was transported from Kangwang Valley, Lushan Mountain, Jiangzhou.

In later generations, there is another name for Gulianshui in Kangwang Valley.

The best spring in the world!

Of course, the current Kangwang Valley is just a small and inaccessible place.

After the second pot of tea was ready, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Chai Lingwu, Cheng Chumo and others rushed back.

Fang Xuanling frowned, but said nothing.

The people Liu Bai and others are obviously not them.

The four of them had just taken their seats, Wen Daya, Minister of the Ministry of Rituals, who also served as the official minister of Sinong Temple, and Yan Lide, the master craftsman, also came.

After a while, Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao came together!

Seeing their arrival, Fang Xuanling and the others felt a little nervous!

By now, all fools know that Liu Bai wants to make a big deal!

These people are the closest people to the Liu family!

Until Liu Jin entered the door, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't sit still any longer.

Liu Jinnai is the number two figure in the palace, and his status is close to that of Wynn, the inner minister.

Could it be that he represents His Majesty? !

In a blink of an eye, people were sitting under the wintersweet tree!

Li Daliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Yuchi Jingde, General of Youwuhou, and Duan Zhixuan, General of Zuoxiaowei, are all on the list!

hum-

The door was slowly closed.

At some point, Xu Chu appeared at the door, with a knife on his waist, leaning against the wall with his arms folded.

As long as he finds out that someone is eavesdropping, no matter what the identity of the person is, his knife will be drawn immediately!

At the same time, Wang Shouren appeared on the roof, followed by a few people, looking around with binoculars.

Li You took the tray and distributed cups to everyone one by one.

Li Yin followed behind him, pouring water from Liu Bai's silver jug.
