Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 329 Fang Xuanling wants to withdraw, and the army must also give an explanation
After Changsun Wuji took his leave, there were only three people left in the hall.

Li Jue was eager to make a move and didn't want to stay in the palace.

Di Renjie ordered his men to clear the tea on the table and he poured more tea for the prince himself.

"Ji Lang, do you understand anything?"

Li Chengqian asked at this time.

Li Jue immediately suppressed his thoughts and said, "I understand."

"Tell me."

Li Chengqian said.

Di Renjie knelt aside, ready to listen. The prince was going to teach the emperor's grandson, and he could also learn from him for free.

Li Jue scratched his head and said, "How should I put it?"

"It's a little hard for me to describe, but I understand the principle."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Then tell me briefly. We are not in a hurry today anyway."

"By the way, Huaiying, all the memorials from the Eastern Palace should be sent to the Ministry of Shangshu."

Di Renjie responded: "Student understands."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jue, waiting for his next words.

Li Jue thought for a moment and said, "Father uses the position of Shangshu and Prime Minister to let Uncle do the work."

"But uncle must do well and beautifully before he can sit on the position of prime minister."

"It seems that my uncle has no choice. I know that my uncle has always wanted to be a high-ranking official."

Di Renjie was a little stunned, and Li Chengqian was also a little surprised, and asked: "How did you know?"

"I mentioned this when I was talking to Mr. Pei." Li Jue smiled and said, "My uncle is a maternal relative. All maternal relatives in history have held high positions and great power."

"It's easy to guess that my uncle has such thoughts."

"Aye, you are leading your uncle by the nose."

Li Chengqian raised his head and laughed, his brows filled with relief.

"As long as you can understand it."

"The superiors have many choices and have the absolute advantage of leading the direction."

He taught: "If the people below want to achieve their own promotion and leap, they need to obey the thoughts of the superiors and pay more to satisfy the superiors."

Li Jue nodded heavily and said, "Aye, I understand."

"You just understand."

Li Chengqian said: "You must understand that your promise is the most precious in the world."

“Don’t make promises lightly. Once you make a promise, you must fulfill it.”

"Otherwise, we will lose our credibility and the weight of our promises will be greatly reduced."

Li Jue raised his hand and said, "Then, Aye, will you fulfill your promise to your uncle?"

"Then it depends on whether they do a good job or not."

Li Chengqian said calmly: "Let me, let His Majesty be satisfied."

"Are you not satisfied with how we dealt with the Lu family of Fanyang?" Li Jue asked curiously.

In his opinion, it's the conditions.

"This is just the beginning." Li Chengqian said patiently, "Do they want to promote the reform of the Shangshu Province?"

"Do you want to take the position of prime minister or vice prime minister and rely on me and your uncle?"

“They themselves have to do their best.”

"Also, regarding the case of the humiliation of the widow of a hero, millions of soldiers throughout the Tang Dynasty are waiting for a satisfactory outcome."

"If they don't make the Tang soldiers feel at ease, your majesty will not be satisfied."

These things are linked one after another.

Li Jue didn’t know that it was normal not to see through things.

Is the reform of the Secretariat such a delicious piece of power cake?
Think more.

The result of the discussion between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian was to let the quasi-prime minister, quasi-vice prime minister and others headed by Zhangsun Wuji do what they can and also do what they cannot.

Only after it is done and done well, can they get rid of it and get what they want.

This is the way to control people.

If the superior does everything himself, then what kind of superior is he?

How can I have the energy to execute and focus on specific matters?

"I see, why didn't I think of that?"

Li Jue was a little annoyed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Aye."

"Ah."

"You should communicate more with Huaiying. You can ask him more questions if you don't understand."

"My child understands!"

……

Changsun Wuji returned to his mansion, but he still couldn't calm down from the excitement in his heart.

It wasn't that he wasn't good enough at cultivating his Qi, it was just that the surprise the prince gave him was too big.

It stirred his deepest heartstrings and ambitions.

The long-awaited position of an official is right before your eyes.

How could I bear it?

"only……."

"Hey."

"It's not that simple."

Changsun Wuji sighed and thought secretly.

Fortunately, Gao Ming had arranged things in advance. He was not alone, but had the cooperation of others.

"I just don't know who these people will be."

"Xiao Yu is one, Cui Dunli is one, Yang Shidao is one, so there are five more."

He thought about it and decided that he would go to the Secretariat tomorrow, so this was a good time to talk to his uncle.

It's also good to release the emotions in your heart.

However, he didn't expect that not long after he went out, he saw the carriage of Prince Hejian heading towards Duke Lu's Mansion.

Originally, the residences of court ministers were all located in this area close to the two palaces.

They are not too far away from each other.

When Changsun Wuji saw it, he was quite surprised.

"Cheng Zhijie hasn't been released from confinement yet?"

He thought to himself and came to Gao Shilian's mansion.

Gao Shilian was waiting for him at home.

"I knew you were coming."

"I've specially postponed the affairs of the Hanlin Academy and am waiting for you at home."

Gao Shilian smiled and asked, "How was the talk with Gao Ming?"

"Gao Ming promised me the position of Prime Minister." Chang Sun Wuji did not hide anything and said directly.

"Ok?"

Gao Shilian was shocked. "Tell me in detail."

After hearing what his nephew said, he was relieved. He thought it was the prime minister in ancient times. It turned out that the Shangshu Province was changed and the Shangshu Ling was renamed the prime minister.

"Then you have a lot to do." Gao Shilian said.

"That's why I came to talk to my uncle."

"Let's talk. I can give you some advice."

……

Duke Lu's Mansion.

study.

Cheng Zhijie originally wanted to talk with the Prince of Hejian in the main hall, but Li Xiaogong asked him to go to the study.

Such a proposal made Cheng Zhijie a little nervous.

"How are you recently?"

Li Xiaogong's gentle tone made Cheng Zhijie even more nervous.

"I stay in the mansion every day, and I am so bored that I am almost bored."

Cheng Zhijie wanted to speak carelessly, but after a few words, he sighed and said, "Prince, since I asked you to come here in person, you must have something important to tell me."

"Please speak frankly, Your Majesty."

Li Xiaogong seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but finally said: "Zhijie, you don't have to be responsible for the new army."

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie didn't seem surprised, he just remained silent.

After a long while, he said bitterly, "Is this what your Majesty meant?"

"Do not."

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "It's our idea."

"Why?" Cheng Zhijie didn't understand and his tone was a little irritated.

"The Cui family of Qinghe has connections in Qizhou."

Li Xiaogong said: "The army needs an explanation."

"I was implicated by a woman?" Cheng Zhijie said in disbelief. He could not accept this statement even more.

That was his second spring in the military.

Just ruined like this?

"That's right."

Li Xiaogong explained: "Over there, Fang Xuanling wants to retreat."

"Our military should also give an explanation."

"Knowing the truth."

"The Tang soldiers are all watching the handling of the Qizhou case this time, and Your Majesty also needs a satisfactory solution."

"Your wife is from the Cui family of Qinghe. You can imagine that the soldiers in the army have a grudge against the Cui family of Qinghe. What would they think of you as the commander-in-chief?"

"Do you think you can still lead the troops, or do your soldiers have complaints and want to embarrass you? Do you want to lose face?"

Cheng Zhijie said painfully: "So, this is to give me some dignity, right?"

He no longer has the qualifications to be so carefree.

He has always been very smooth, wise and cautious in his dealings, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of his wife's family in the end.

"Then my sons..."

"Don't worry, they won't be a problem."

Li Xiaogong said: "Because, whether it is the Cui family of Qinghe or the Cui family of Boling, they all owe you a favor."

"How to say?"

Things have come to this point, and the fact that the Prince of Hejian has spoken personally proves that there is no possibility of change.

Cheng Zhijie felt upset, but he had no choice but to accept his fate.

There was no need for him to go to His Majesty, it would only make things more embarrassing.

It will also deteriorate relations with military attachés.

After much thought, he decided to make plans for the future.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Shangshu Province will be changed next year."

Li Xiaogong said: "There will be one prime minister and eight vice-prime ministers."

"Cui Dunli will be one of the vice-chancellors."

"Li Rengong will also be promoted to a higher position."

Cheng Zhijie frowned, "How can Cui Dunli be promoted to the position of prime minister if he is not implicated?"

"He is ..."

"The Fanyang Lu family is going to fall." Li Xiaogong said, "They took action."

"I understand."

After listening to this, Cheng Zhijie had a general idea of ​​the situation in the court.

The Prince of Hejian came in person, not only for the reasons he mentioned, but also because of Li Rengong's promotion to prime minister.

Li Rengong was equivalent to the representative promoted by the Guanlong family.

Now that he was the Vice Prime Minister, Li Xiaogong had to do something.

After seeing it clearly, he felt even more uncomfortable.

He had suffered an unprovoked disaster and had become a victim of this major reshuffle in the imperial court.

Fortunately, the next generation was not implicated and they can still enjoy the favors he had accumulated.

The Cui families in both places have to be recognized even if they don’t want to.

The Guanlong family must also cherish the old friendship.

"Hey."

"Fortunately, after getting over the addiction for a few years, it wasn't all in vain."

"But if I step down now, what can I do?"

Cheng Zhijie sighed softly.

"Don't forget, there is also the military academy."

Li Xiaogong said: "Although you are no longer in charge of the new army, it does not mean you are retiring."

Cheng Zhijie suddenly became more open-minded and said with a smile, "So the same goes for that old fox Fang Xuanling?"

"That's about right. The Lu family has fallen, so how can he still be in the Shangshu Province?"

Li Xiaogong achieved his goal and said, "When Fang Xuanling writes a letter, you can also find a time later to write a letter to resign."

"After I leave, you won't have to stay at home any longer."

Done.

Li Xiaogong left.

Cheng Zhijie saw him off and returned to his study, where he became distracted.

After a long time, he finally smiled bitterly.

"I am a founding duke, but I have become a victim of fighting."

"I just have a wife named Cui, but I have fallen flat on my face."

“It has helped so many people.”

"It's ridiculous and pathetic!"
