Yonghui three years.
Ashina Helu claimed to be Khan, and led an army of 100,000 Western Turks to suddenly rebel at the end of the second year of Yonghui, and hoarded it near the Western Regions with great force.
In less than half a month, 100,000 rebels suddenly lost tens of thousands of casualties, and only 70,000 were left either fleeing or being incorporated by the Tang army sent later.
Everyone knows that this matter must have something to do with the three of them.
But they were all very puzzled, what kind of force could disintegrate tens of thousands of people in half a month?
Many people speculated that this incident must have been initiated from within, but no one knew the specific circumstances.
It was not considered a great victory at this time, because hundreds of thousands of people were not difficult at all, and the other party was extinguished before the flames could even rise, so it was not considered a big deal in everyone's minds.
But Changsun Wuji decided to hold a grand feast and follow Li Shimin's example to boost the morale of the Tang Dynasty.
Even Yuan Tiangang, who no longer had any identity, was invited to the court.
In fact, even if he was not invited, none of the ministers present would dare to look down upon this former national advisor.
From instigating Yang Guangda to raise troops and brigade to creating the Zhenguan rule, the Weishui Alliance to the defeat of the Turks, his illustrious military exploits and strategies all have his shadow.
Changsun Wuji read loudly at the top.
"Your Majesty has followed Taizong's teachings, made good use of good people, and revitalized the Chinese people. Today, people are happy all over the world, and the country is prosperous. I will continue the great virtues of the late emperor forever, and have a great legacy of Zhenguan. Seeing this, everyone..."
In just a few words, Changsun Wuji raised the atmosphere to the extreme, and all the civil and military ministers looked at Li Zhi on the dragon throne respectfully.
The more Li Zhi listened, the more uncomfortable he felt!
"enough!"
A loud shout directly interrupted Changsun Wuji.
Li Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and slowly stood up from the throne. He was really fed up with these false flatteries! The anger in my heart was also ignited!
"I am myself, I am the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, and I am ordered by Heaven. Why do I have to follow my father's path and my father's way in everything!?"
"Besides, is it really the same as the Zhenguan created by my father? Ah?!"
This action shocked everyone, except for Yuan Tiangang and Li Yunxiao whose mouth corners were slightly raised.
It has been three years, and now he looks a bit like an emperor.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and looked down angrily.
"But today there are constant disasters, the king's gang is weak, the Western Turks are rebelling, the ministers are seizing land privately, and all the officials are colluding with each other. Even in my palace! There are rumors that someone has stolen the treasury!"
As he spoke, he stood up, opened his arms, surrounded the surrounding courtiers and sneered: "Is this the so-called legacy of Zhenguan? Are you following my father's example? Are you mocking me or my father!"
What Li Zhi said was what happened in the past few years. Everyone was speechless and looked at Changsun Wuji unconsciously.
Li Zhi also looked at him and said, "Everyone says that my uncle has contributed a lot to his governance. He is good at employing people and knows how to be accommodating, but there are very few things about me!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "It's ridiculous to think about it! Am I really so dependent on you, uncle? Or is it because uncle doesn't let me do things because he cares?"
"For the past three years, you have kept saying that you want to take the world as your responsibility and share my worries. Then where do you put me?"
The throats of the ministers below were rolling slightly. For the first time, they discovered that Li Zhi's clear and gentle eyes were gone. Instead, there was a slight killing intent, irritability and anger in his eyes.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Yuan Tiangang's eyes narrowed slightly: "There seems to be something wrong with His Majesty's state."
Li Yunxiao looked indifferent: "What's wrong? Isn't it good?"
Yuan Tiangang stared at Li Zhi carefully for a long time, and finally couldn't help but snorted.
"Your Majesty is quite forbearing, but now is not the time..."
Li Chunfeng sent a message: "Having been with Taizong for so many years, he still understands some things no matter how bad he is. I think he is still somewhat of a majesty. Look at the way he is angry now, he looks so much like Taizong!"
Yuan Tiangang said lightly: "Does it look like it? I was just wondering why it was so familiar. It turns out... that is Taizong's shadow. It's a pity..."
Having said this, Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said no more.
While several people were chatting, Changsun Wuji walked down from the height.
"His Majesty!"
Li Zhi faced and confronted his uncle for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little encouraged.
Yuan Tiangang moved forward slightly, but then paused and looked at Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao couldn't help but sneer, and walked to the side below Li Zhi as if there was no one else around.
Seeing Li Yunxiao's arrival, Li Zhi seemed to feel the pressure on his body suddenly relieved. After looking at Li Yunxiao gratefully, he gradually became more courageous and stared at Changsun Wuji closely.
"Lieutenant, do you have any doubts about what I just said? Or do you have any opinion on the current situation of the imperial court?"
Changsun Wuji replied without any nervousness: "Everything has right and wrong. Who dares to say that there is no fault? Even if it is His Majesty, it cannot be avoided, right?"
Ignore, disdain!
Li Zhi heard a challenge to his authority in Changsun Wuji's tone! Or in front of all the civil and military officials!
"If your father was still here, think about what he would do."
A voice suddenly reached his ears, and Li Zhi glanced at Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao nodded slowly, and Li Zhi clenched his fists and stared at Changsun Wuji. He no longer wanted to be that obedient and obedient child!
The two people's eyes were both cold and stern. The eyes of the monarch and the minister faced each other, as if there were sparks between them, and no one gave way.
Li Chunfeng shook his head: "Your Majesty lost."
As his words fell, Yuan Tiangang beside him couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
In the eyes of the two of them, Li Zhi lost when Changsun Wuji said the same thing if it had been him.
Yes, who can have no fault? But his eldest son, Sun Wuji, knew the matter between Li Zhi and Mei Niang very well!
At this point, playing with Li Zhi is still like playing.
His eldest son, Sun Wuji, was guilty of employing people poorly, but compared with Li Zhi, this crime was much lighter.
Sure enough, within a moment, Li Zhi finally slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"That's it, that's all!"
Li Zhi sat weakly on the dragon throne and waved his hand outside: "Continue singing praises."
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
When he raised his head, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but meet Li Yunxiao's eyes, and raised his hand to lend a step to speak.
After Li Yunxiao followed, Changsun Wuji said: "I know you respect Taizong's last wish, but as the emperor, you cannot become talented without suffering. You and I are not enemies."
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly. These words had a lot of meaning. Was he deliberately creating hardships to train Li Zhi?
But those corrupt officials and criminals outside are all true and cannot be faked. There is absolutely no problem with his information on bad people.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunxiao turned around and walked towards Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, raising his hand with his back to Changsun Wuji.
"I'm not interested in your affairs. All I promised Taizong was to take care of Datang. You can do whatever you think is worthy of your sister."
Speaking of this, Li Yunxiao tilted his head slightly and said in a low tone: "But you have to be careful and don't offend me. I have a small advantage: I hold grudges..."
Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and did not reply.
Not to mention him, at least half of the people in the entire court knew about holding grudges! Moreover, in the past few decades, those who had a grudge against him never had a good ending. They were either dead or missing. His eldest son, Sun Wuji, was also very afraid.
"Hopefully we'll never have a conflict."
Li Yunxiao pretended not to hear, pulled Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, saluted Li Zhi, stood up and left.
