Chapter 823(2/2)

Li Shimin left Changsun Wuji.

"You seem to have any objections to Li Chao recently?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "I have no objection to Li Chao himself. But I have seen some hidden dangers, so I have to say it. If I don't say it, it means being unfaithful to Your Majesty. Li Chao is indeed capable and has high abilities, but the more this happens, the more careful you need to use it. Li Chao is definitely loyal to Your Majesty now, but if the authority given is too great, it will easily make people grow ambition."

"I also don't want Li Chao to go that step. Many powerful and treacherous ministers and ruthless ministers did not think about going that step from the beginning. They just had the opportunity and power, and gradually grew ambitions, and then they went to that step."

Li Shimin sighed.

"I can sit on the throne entirely by Wuji, Wenyuan, and Xuanling Ruhui and others. At the beginning of Zhenguan, both inside and outside are still uneasy, and I need your assistance even more. I also know that the use of Li Chao is a bit unruly, but at an extraordinary time, I can only do extraordinary things. When the political situation in the future stabilizes, I will definitely slowly take back some of Li Chao's official powers to avoid the situation you mentioned."

Changsun Wuji nodded, "Your Majesty has such a clear understanding, so I feel much more at ease. In fact, I admire Li Chao very much, but I still have to say something. People like Li Chao are too capable, so they have to be more careful. The sharper the knife, the easier it is to use it, but the easier it is to hurt your hand, so you must guard against it."

"After Li Chao comes back this time, I will reward him and give him the title of Grand Marshal. What do you think?"

Changsun Wuji was surprised.

The Taiwei was the leader of the Three Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, and was still above Situ and Sikong.

The Three Dukes and the Three Divisions were side by side, but since the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty has only awarded the Three Dukes to ministers, but has never awarded the Three Divisions to ministers.

During the Wude Dynasty, Li Shimin took two of the three Dukes alone, and King Yuanji of Qi served as one of the three public offices.

When it came to the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Shimin gave Pei Ji Situ and Feng Lun Sikong, making these two men a three-monarch, and actually kicked the two prime ministers of the Wude Dynasty out of the Political Affairs Hall.

Now the emperor wants to give Li Chao the title of Grand Marshal among the three Dukes. Changsun Wuji is also a little confused about the emperor's intention. Li Chao originally had the title of Grand Marshal of the Crown Prince, but now he is promoted to the Third Duke. What does this mean?
