Royal Palace, Manna Hall.
"Xiao Gong's team should be leaving the city now, right?"
Li Er sat on the dragon couch and asked softly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the county prince has left the city!"
Zhao Song bowed and replied.
Li Er's eyes narrowed and he murmured: "Whether the Tang Dynasty's treasury can support the national war with the Turks depends on whether Xiaogong's Shibo Division can shoulder the responsibility~! Also, the Cui family, Cui Shanfu ,snort……"
Previously, the prime minister of the Harsha Dynasty, Alonashun, wanted to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty on behalf of King Harsha. Of course, Li Er was unwilling. Changle was his most beloved daughter, so how could he marry her to a barbarian? But as the king of a country, of course he cannot act emotionally. Even if he is just going through the motions, he must listen to the opinions of his ministers.
As a result, Li Zexuan stepped forward and spoke uprightly, which made him very satisfied, but Cui Shanfu supported Datang in marrying the princess and vigorously advocated the reconciliation between the two countries. At that time, Li Er had murderous intentions towards Cui Shanfu, but he never found a good partner. Chance.
Unexpectedly, Cui Shanfu's name was among the list of court officials selected by Li Xiaogong to go to Lingnan a few days ago.
It stands to reason that Cui Shanfu, as the minister of Honglu Temple and one of the nine ministers, should not be assigned to Lingnan. However, after Li Er saw the three words "Cui Shanfu" on the list, many thoughts suddenly changed in his mind. ,then……
The final list of Shibo Company shocked everyone!
You must know that Cui Shanfu is not only the minister of Honglu Temple, but also the next successor of the Cui family in Qinghe. Does Li Er not take the family seriously when he makes such a decision?
However, many people thought about it. Today, Li Er really has the confidence not to take the family seriously. In the past, the Tang Dynasty had no shortage of good generals, let alone elite soldiers, but it lacked money. Once a war broke out, the Tang Dynasty's food and grass supply was very large. Something could go wrong. But now that the imperial treasury is sufficient, there is no shortage of soldiers, no shortage of generals, and no shortage of food and grass. If the family dares to be reckless, then they really have to consider whether they can withstand Li Er's thunderous strike!
Do the aristocratic families dare to be presumptuous?
Of course not!
Since Li Er dares to make such a decision, it means that the family is ready for a counterattack. Once there is any change in the family, it may play into Li Er's hands. After all, for Li Er, before dealing with the Turks, he must first It is also a good choice to stabilize the rear!
For this reason, Cui Junchuo, the Duke of Dongjun, who had not been in court for decades, came to Ganlu Hall on crutches to intercede for Cui Shanfu. Of course, Li Er did not neglect it, but he did not agree either. In the end, he said, "Cui Shanfu's trip to Lingnan is only temporary. He will wait for the ship to be shipped." Cui Junchuo was sent back on the grounds that if Si is on the right track there, he will be sent back with an edict."
In this way, with Li Er's strong insistence, Cui Shanfu's move south with Li Xiaogong became a foregone conclusion. But even Li Er didn't understand why Li Xiaogong put Cui Shanfu on the list. This old guy is talented, but there are many ministers in the court who are more talented than him. It looks like Li Xiaogong deliberately wrote Cui Shanfu in!
But what grudges and grievances do Li Xiaogong and Cui Shanfu have?
Li Er is really not sure about this...
"Pay more attention to the Cui family recently. If there is any change, report it to me immediately~!"
A cold light flashed in Li Er's eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice.
He is really confident now, because the research on gunpowder at the Ministry of Industry has made great progress. If the aristocratic family chooses to make changes at this time, he would not mind giving them another "justice from heaven"!

"Master Marquis, my subordinates have already found out the information you want~!"
At night, Yongle Square, the study room of the Hou Mansion.
Li Zexuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, while Pang Feiji cupped his fists behind him.
"Oh~? Tell me~?"
He hadn't paid attention to the situation in the court for a while recently. After meeting Cui Shanfu on the road today, he decided to ask Pang Feiji to inquire about the news.
Pang Feiji reported: "Master Marquis, according to my subordinates' investigation, Cui Shanfu was among the first batch of officials selected by the county prince to go to Lingnan City. Many people in the court objected, but I didn't expect that His Majesty agreed in the end. Later, the ancestor of the Cui family, Duke Dong, went to the palace to plead for mercy, but it seemed to have no effect! That’s why Cui Shanfu went south with the Duke today! "
"Oh I got it!"
Li Zexuan suddenly realized, and then asked doubtfully: "But why does the prince want Cui Shanfu to go to Lingnan? He and Cui Shanfu don't seem to have any grudges, right?"
Pang Feiji said with an unnatural expression: "Well... I asked Mr. Huairen, and he said... He said that the prince had disliked Cui Shanfu for a long time, so..."
"dislike; despise?"
Li Zexuan was stunned. This reason is so strong and willful! Well, I just don’t like you and just want to fuck you. What’s wrong? The royal people are really awesome!
In fact, the main source of Li Xiaogong's dislike for Cui Shanfu came from the time when the prime minister of the Harsha Dynasty proposed marriage on behalf of King Harsha. Seeing Cui Shanfu shamelessly insisting on marrying the Tang princess to a distant country, Li Xiaogong felt as uncomfortable as being stabbed by a knife. , he couldn't explain why, but when he saw Cui Shanfu's face later, he felt that this old guy was going to marry his daughter to another country!
(Maybe this is destiny! Historically, Li Xiaogong’s daughter Li Xueyan was married to Tubo thousands of miles away because of her marriage. Although there is an eternal legend of “Princess Wencheng came to Tibet”, But who knows the pain of father and daughter being separated and never seeing each other again for the rest of their lives)
"Master Marquis, my subordinates accidentally discovered a piece of news about Young Master Ciao!"
Pang Feiji glanced at Li Zexuan cautiously and whispered.
"Oh? What news? Tell me quickly!"
Li Zexuan became interested and asked quickly.
Pang Feiji said: "According to the information investigated by my subordinates, Master Biao has been very famous in Nanyang since he was a child, and he is even known as the Fairy Boy!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's very interested look, Pang Feiji continued: "It is said that Master Cousin's mother had a dream during the day. She dreamed that a meteor entered her mouth and swallowed it. When she woke up, she became pregnant. She was fifteen months old. Later, she gave birth to young master Ciao, which has become a good story in the local area!
When the young cousin was seven years old, he accidentally drowned in the river and disappeared inexplicably. The uncle only found the young cousin's clothes on the river bank. Three years later, the young cousin came home. His uncle asked him where he had been all these years, but the young cousin said: "The young boy led me to drink cloud syrup, so I have less ears." Mr. Hou, do you think this is divine? Young Master Biao has met the boy beside the god~! "
The more Li Zexuan listened, the deeper his frown deepened. Finally, he said with a straight face: "I don't want to talk about the strange power and the gods. Some hearsay things have fooled you into this. Fashan is just a mortal body. You kid, don't go around talking nonsense." , go to bed quickly!"
"Yes, yes! I resign!"
