Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

As if nothing happened.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I stand here is not for fame, power, or profit."

"It's just to repay Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, as well as Lord Changsun, Lord Fang, and other lords for their respect and entrustment."

"As long as I can do some facts and make some achievements for my Great Tang and the people of this Great Tang."

"that's enough."

"As for whether His Majesty punishes the minister, or even demotes the minister to a commoner, it really doesn't make much difference to the minister."

"Focus on the mountains and rivers, take my wife, children and family to visit the rivers, mountains and rivers, the world's scenery, has always been what I want to do."

"About whether someone secretly recruited the imperial guards in the palace, how could such a thing be avoided?"

"As time goes by day by day, the princes grow up day by day..."

Before Li Qiu could finish speaking, Fang Xuanling at the side yanked his arm vigorously.

"Li Qiu!"

"Don't talk nonsense, as the prime minister, you have no reason to suspect the princes, what are you going to do?!"

Afterwards, Fang Xuanling hastily saluted Li Shimin and defended Li Qiu.

"Your Majesty, Li Qiu is still young and speaks freely."

"Please spare him this time."

"When I go back, I must give him good instructions."

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Qiu's clear and stubborn eyes, and his mind was full of his youthful appearance.

"Xuanling, I have never punished important officials in the court for no reason."

"Since Li Qiu said so, then you and Changsun Wuji should investigate this matter secretly."

"Look at the generals of the Forbidden Army in the palace, whether they have too close and abnormal contacts with many princes or others."

"When the result comes out, it won't be too late for me to come to him to settle the score."

"This kid is stubborn, even if I want to punish him, I have to convince him."

……

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Fang Xuanling's back was soaked through.

He sighed again and again, teaching Li Qiu non-stop.

Saying that he is like this is easy to lose his head, property and life.

You are young and have just married and had children, so don't hurt yourself because of your quick tongue!

For Fang Xuanling's earnest teaching, Li Qiu naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Seeing him like this, Fang Xuanling shook his head repeatedly and sighed secretly.

Afterwards, Fang Xuanling went to Zhangsun Wuji to discuss the matter.

And Li Qiu, who got into a catastrophe, returned to Shangshu Province, his office, like a normal person.

Then he saw Tang Jian with a fat head and big ears, sitting on a chair with that generous body.

It seemed so discordant.

"Master Tang?"

"It's been too busy these days."

"Otherwise, I would have thought of going to your place for a drink."

Tang Jian sighed lightly at this moment.

"Almost all the good wine and tea in Chang'an City come from your Furong Garden."

"If it's food, I'm afraid that even the imperial dining room in the palace can't compare with your Furong Garden."

"What's so good about my wine?"

"It's you, did you cause another disaster today, making His Majesty furious in the imperial study?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help being surprised.

He just came out of Li Shimin's palace, how come Tang Jian, who is far away in Shangshu Province, has already received the news?

Seeing his doubts, Tang Jian couldn't help explaining to him in a low voice.

"Where is the secret in this palace?"

"Although I don't know the specific content of what you said, but the fact that His Majesty is furious will soon be known to everyone."

"At times like this, everyone should be extra serious in doing things."

"Hey, Li Qiu, this time His Majesty asked me to be Shangshu Youcheng, I'm afraid it's exactly the same as being your military supervisor before."

"You can spare me once, just let me save myself."

Li Qiu said with a smile at this time: "Master Tang, don't worry."

"This is not in the army. The tasks assigned by His Majesty have to be done by so many people and departments."

"It's hard to come up with a problem."

"If I have you here from now on, I'll really feel relieved."

"By the way, His Majesty just said in the Imperial Study Room today that the finer things in the Shangshu belong to the Left and Right Chancellors, and the only one who should play the important role is Guan Pushe."

After speaking, Li Qiu yawned, took out a thick and exquisite cushion, spread it on the table, and fell asleep comfortably with his head on it.

This cushion was made by Wu Jue himself according to Li Qiu's wishes.

After all, I got up at three o'clock in the morning, ready to go to court.

Then how could he not be sleepy if he stayed up for a whole day?

Seeing this, Tang Jian couldn't help but exclaimed with grief: "Li Qiu, you are now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"How can you be so blatantly lazy without caring about your own image?!"

Chapter 716 What to fight?

Facing Tang Jian's grief, Li Qiu also laughed.

"Master Tang, I'm just being lazy by order."

"Your Majesty has already said that all small matters will be handled by the left and right ministers."

"But on our side, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry are nothing serious, are they?"

"Oh, I really can't figure out why it has to be so early in the morning."

"I'm really sleepy..."

Seeing him like this, Tang Jian couldn't help but sigh softly.

"If you want to say that the busiest place in the entire imperial court is the Shangshu Province."

"And if you want to say that the most important official duties in this Shangshu province are the left and right servants and the left and right ministers."

"It happened that His Majesty brought the two of us who were the most weary over here again."

"It's really a pity."

"The former Guangluqing was the most leisurely."

Tang Jian is one of Li Shimin's few most trusted confidants.

Also quite talented.

But the only thing is laziness.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to raise this body of fat.

What Li Qiu thought was very good, after Tang Jian came, he could be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Take it easy.

But the imagination is always beautiful, but the reality is far from it.

With all the government affairs of such a big country gathered together, how could it be possible for him to be free?

So, Li Qiu was not able to lie down on the table for a while.

Wen Yanbo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came to find him.

Li Qiu and Wen Yanbo were old acquaintances, and they were relatively familiar.

Although the two of them may have different political opinions, Wen Yanbo is a man of integrity, well versed in ancient and modern times, and is a learned man.

A rare doer.

Li Qiu had a good impression of him.

"Master Wen, come on, sit down quickly."

"I just brewed the best Pu'er, the output is extremely low, and it's the kind that you can't buy with money on the market."

As the end of the year is approaching, the Ministry of Rites has to be busy with various royal sacrifices, as well as vassal worship, tribute and other matters.

It is the busiest time of year.

Originally, Wen Yanbo planned to report a few things to Li Qiu and return as soon as possible.

But in the end, he still couldn't help being attracted by the best tea.

Still sit down with Tang Jian, be self-sufficient, and pour tea for yourself.

After tasting the tea calmly and carefully, both Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo couldn't help admiring.

Among other things, the tea leaves from Furong Garden alone really made them fondle admiringly.

At this time, Wen Yanbo said slowly: "Li Xiang, there is such a thing, I have to report it to you."

"Recently, Lin Yiguo presented a fire bead to His Majesty."

"This bead is quite precious and gorgeous."

"But the only thing is that the words of their letters are not humble enough and obedient."

"Nowadays, some officials in the Ministry of Rites and many imperial envoys feel that this matter is disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty."

"Thinking about writing a letter, asking His Majesty to punish him."

"I don't know how to deal with this matter, should I tell His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning.

"Lin Yi?"

"Where is this feudal kingdom?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Wen Yanbo had also heard of Li Qiu's unique way of thinking.

So he coughed twice.

"Li Xiang, this Linyi is a very small and remote country."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Like my Tang Dynasty, there are many small-scale vassal states like this."

"What matters right now is how to deal with the matter they listed."

At this time, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning.

"A fringe kingdom like this has a small population. I'm afraid there are not many people in the whole country who are literate and proficient in the culture of the Central Plains."

"Don't say it's them, but you asked me to write this document now, I can't even write down the words."

"It's such a small fart, what's there to beat?"

"Besides, they paid tribute to the most valuable and best orbs, and that's enough."

"Don't reach out and hit the smiling face."
