Morning court, Tai Chi Hall.

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, the officials were chatting in groups of three or three, waiting to attend court.

At this time, someone shouted: "The King of Qi is coming down."

People looked towards the Zhuque Gate and saw King Li You of Qi walking over with Yin Hongzhi.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

When they saw King Li You of Qi, the ministers greeted him affectionately.

Li You smiled and nodded in response.

Gao Jingming was overjoyed when he saw Li You. When the God of Wealth was not in Chang'an, the Ministry of Revenue would not have a new open source project. He had long been looking forward to His Royal Highness King Qi coming back. He took two steps at one time, ran towards Li You, and said, "Oh, Your Highness, you are back."

He was about to say some intimate words to Li You, but someone shouted here: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are back." A large group of people surrounded him. It turned out to be Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others. They surrounded Li You tightly and squeezed Gao Jingming aside.

Li You nodded to Gao Jingming and became lively with Cheng Yaojin and others.

Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others wanted to come forward to talk to Li You, but the current situation was not the turn of them.

Now, most ministers in the court have a good view of Li You. The court has made great changes in recent years. The northwest border has been stable, the welfare benefits of officials have been greatly improved, and life in Chang'an City has become more colorful.

Recently, this prince shined in the Western Regions. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, everyone felt it was encouraging.

Not all this, Li You has a great advantage, that is, he is open-minded and never takes the initiative to find other people's affairs. Li You has basically never been concerned about the officials who offended him.

In short, when people look at this young prince, they feel that admiration is intimacy.

Those officials who had dealt with Li You and received favors really liked the prince. They rushed over one after another. Even if they couldn't squeeze into the small circles of Cheng Yaojin and others, they all gathered around and said hello to him.

Not long after, a large group of people were already surrounded by Li You.

Li Chengqian came from afar. Seeing this scene, he wanted to come over to say hello to him, but was worried that his passing would destroy the atmosphere there, so he smiled and stared at this place from afar.

Li Ke and Li Tai have a noble status, and there are always a few people around him. However, compared with the hot situation around Li You, it is much deserted.

The last time Li Ke was born in the Yongtongqu incident, he guessed who helped him at a critical moment. He and Quan Wanji analyzed for a long time and believed that in the entire court, the person who was willing to help him and had the ability was probably the King of Qi Li You.

This time, he was able to build the Yongtong Canal because he received the help of Li Chunfeng. Everyone in Chang'an knew that Li Chunfeng and Li You were closest to each other.

Therefore, no matter whether the person who secretly helped him or not, he helped him for Li Li Chunfeng, and the last time he saved him in Tuyuhun, Li Ke also felt that he should express his gratitude to Li You.

Li Ke was waiting at the door, waiting for Li You to pass by.

At this time, the morning court began and everyone walked towards the hall together.

When Li You saw Li Ke looking at him at the door, he took the initiative to say, "Third Brother."

Li Ke said, "Fifth brother, thank you for your hard work!"

This was inconsistent, but Li You understood what he meant and smiled and said, "It should be." After saying that, he walked into the hall with Cheng Yaojin and others.

After everyone saluted, Li Shimin said, "All my dear friends, everyone already knows that King Li You of Qi, Hou Junji and others have now conquered 10 countries in the Western Regions, incorporated them into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and added nearly 500,000 people to our Tang Dynasty."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" The ministers congratulated each other.

Li Shimin said: "My dear friends, you probably don't know that Li You, Hou Junji and others went to the Western Regions this time, and only brought 10,000 Tang troops. Except for the army with some craftsmen, they did not recruit a single civilian. At the cost of losing 896 people (not counting the losses of the minions such as Tuyuhun), they conquered 10 countries in the Western Regions.

During this battle, the military expenditure of the Tang army consumed far less than the property they seized. Such an attitude towards doing things is the standard for my Tang Dynasty to do things."

"That's amazing."

“It’s incredible.”

"Buzzing" and there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

At this time, Gao Jingming stood up and said, "This time the army was seized. After the proposal of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty gave him a portion of it as a benefit. No matter the civil and military officials, everyone has a share."

"Thank you, your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The ministers were all excited and congratulated each other.

This was Li You's idea. With war, military officers can still gain some benefits, such as implementing new wartime subsidies and various military merit rewards.

But in addition to working hard, civil servants sometimes have to tighten their belts to support the war. Therefore, when encountering war, they will instinctively oppose it.

The future wars of the Tang Dynasty were mostly the case. In order to create a scene of united support for the war, it was necessary to let the civil servants benefit from the war.

As for the fact that war is a waste of money and money, it seems unreasonable to pay funds to all civil and military officials. In fact, doing so has a great positive effect.

First of all, war requires huge funds. Anyway, so much has been spent, and spending more is nothing. However, it is not possible to buy it with the unanimous support of all civil and military officials.

Secondly, as a great country, the Tang Dynasty attacked small countries around it. As long as it operated well, it would not only not lose money, but also gain huge benefits from war.

Sure enough, the military officers were very excited, and the civil servants were also very happy. Everyone was hoping that the court would go to war with another country.

Li You now supports Li Chengqian, so all such popular good things pushed Li Chengqian ahead. However, all the civil and military officials knew what was going on, and they all secretly thanked Li You.

...

Since Li You decided to support Li Chengqian, he must eliminate the major hidden dangers in history that affected his destiny.

The Palace of King Qi.

Yin Guanghao is the director of the research institute's office. He also has a secret task, which is to establish a secret intelligence network. He has made friends everywhere with a large amount of money all day long, and has missed many spies among all the people.

At this time, he was reporting to Li You, and he said, "Brother You, I saw the juggling artist you mentioned in Taichang Temple. He is indeed beautiful and ordinary women are not as good as him.

It is said that he is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also good at singing and dancing."
