Changsun Wuji was also thinking about something in the Prince of Shu's palace. If the concubine prince became emperor, he would have other ideas, especially since the alliance between the two sides was just a piece of paper, currently just to fight against the same enemy.
If he had been wiser at the time, he should have supported Li Tai or Li Ke, who were also nephews. Li Ke said that he was not from the Changsun family, but it happened that he was famous among many princes.
There is currently no one else objecting to rebuilding officialdom, suppressing bandits, rebuilding Licheng, etc. The crusade against Wu Meiniang is a very urgent matter, especially to formulate a new attack plan. The top priority is to prepare for war, and we must concentrate our advantages. The military strength to occupy Chang'an City as quickly as possible is currently only a luxury hope.
"Everyone, it's not that Changsun is incompetent, it's just that the current situation doesn't require troops to be sent to the border."
Deliberately lowering his status also gave a group of big bosses a bit of a thumbs-down. Changsun Wuji's power over the government was no joke. As soon as the announcement came out, 30,000 people came to support the new emperor.
Among the people who followed Li Shimin to do great things back then, the fate of Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong made the old department feel a little chilled. Fortunately, the excuse of "the devil is confusing" is still tenable. Li Ke has not behaved too much until now. It seems that everything It's all under control.
The new emperor has only received military commanders and appeased the people, and has no other role. Perhaps governing a state capital is a slightly easier task. It is almost even more difficult to govern the ever-expanding Tang Dynasty, where the forces are complicated. Changsun Wuji also did not allow Li Ke to interfere in government affairs.
Li Shimin has always been in charge of the military. Although his son is not as good at using soldiers as he is, he can still do something. No matter how useless Li Chengqian is, he still knows how to appoint generals. The Battle of Dagu River also made Li Ke famous. The Imperial Council was held almost secretly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the prime minister is right!"
Even though the prime minister didn't say anything important, the generals still looked respectful. Deploying troops and generals from other places was a big deal, but now there was no instruction from the new emperor.
"Everyone, this battle is only to quell the rebellion. After killing the demon girl, you will definitely be promoted to officials and nobles. You will also support the country. Don't have other thoughts."
After speaking, he glanced around. Changsun Wuji wanted to make sure that the people he called were absolutely loyal to the emperor who was loyal to Li Tang, not the new emperor, who was just using Li Ke from the beginning to the end.
He had already informed the generals privately, this time in the name of the Qing Emperor, and on the surface he had appointed the King of Shu as the new emperor. In fact, he had been evading the emperor's power. The civil servants and generals who came out of Tiance Mansion only recognized Li Shimin in their hearts. Emperor, Li Ke's current status is not as good as that of the regent.
Borders are very important, but what they are afraid of is that the generals stationed at the borders are still attracted by others, so Changsun Wuji strongly opposes it and does not believe that Wu Meiniang has the ability to mobilize the border troops. The current situation is to further alienate the emperor.
"My lords, your Majesty is here!"
Someone came to report, and everyone looked at Changsun Wuji, and only allowed the new emperor to enter after getting approval.
"See Your Majesty!"
It was Changsun Wuji who personally led the ministers to perform the grand ceremony, which was a demonstration of strength.
There is only one civil servant and one military officer around Li Ke. No matter how good his temperament is, he can't compete with other people's factions. Both sides are just superficial monarchs and ministers. There is still a big problem to be dealt with, who will lead the army to capture the nearest city of Luoyang first.
"Your Majesty, it is better to let General Qin stay with you. No one is more brave than him. Marching and fighting is another matter. Don't lose your life because of your youth and arrogance."
It's nice to say that Li Ke's people are not allowed to interfere with everything about the next march. Changsun Wuji already knows that Qin Zaiming has been subdued by Li Ke, and he hates the Wu family deeply, and he doesn't want outsiders to become bigger. power.
"Is it just bravery? General Qin is only slightly inferior in terms of training and leading troops. He is not as good as his uncle Qin Qiong. Now that I am the emperor, it is time for me to arrange some things."
"Quan Wanji, read it out!"
Li Ke was not polite, not to argue with each other, but to prevent Changsun Wuji from acting out of line. The current alliance between the two parties was too fragile. After all, his side was really not strong enough. He could not gather 5,000 people at all costs. The wealthy families in the state also turned against the prime minister.
Quan Wanji did not dare to directly offend the prime minister, but repeatedly asked for instructions. There was no equality at all between the two sides, and only one side was too strong.
"Your Majesty, I am going on a crusade with the late Emperor, and no one else needs to help!"
"Your Majesty, there are specialties in the art industry. It is easy to make mistakes when you are young and ignorant. Don't be like Zhao Kuo who talks on paper!"
The generals will only support Changsun Wuji. In addition to the checks and balances between power positions, more importantly, they have fought side by side. The new emperor's foundation is unstable and he is unwilling to risk offending Li Shimin.
It is impossible for two emperors to coexist. Now we can only take one step at a time to see which emperor can be safe and sound.
Good guy, no one is willing to turn to him. Li Ke can't show it. Thirty thousand people are currently the key to a comeback. No matter how insidious Changsun Wuji's methods are, whether he can take Chang'an in the future depends on whether the prime minister can. Full support.
The attitude is very clear. The new emperor's people must not be allowed to intervene in the military. Even if there are too many reasonable reasons, otherwise these big bosses will not plunge into Changsun Wuji's camp.
"It's too boring to be an emperor. I can't do this, and I can't mention that. What I want to do is to attack Chang'an City today to rescue more people. I didn't expect that even Licheng doesn't belong to me now. It's better to die. That’s it.”
Everyone just bowed their heads and knelt down to show respect for the new emperor. Li Ke must not give in anymore. The consequences would be very serious. If he died, there would be nothing.
He just glanced at Changsun Wuji. A group of so-called loyal ministers and good generals were now Changsun's partners. The key to breaking the situation was Changsun Wuji's first sincere hope that Li Ke would succeed to the throne.
If a man who has just been recommended as emperor does not want to be pulled down from the throne for no reason, it is best to do some big things immediately. With Changsun Wuji, it can only be tentative at present.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's words are true, it's hard to catch up with them, it's just a matter..."
Another passer-by came, and he whispered directly into Changsun Wuji's ear without any expression. Li Ke was not in a hurry to see how to break the situation next.
Wu Guozhu came with the imperial edict from the emperor of Chang'an City, but was ignored outside the city. He didn't know how to hide the unhappiness on his face. He just saw a group of people who wanted to kill the Wu family. His arrogance did not dare Too powerful.
Li Ke was happy when he saw the emperor in Licheng and dared not to kneel down. He seemed to be a useful person.
